I, Xu Ning, have invested in this project!
“That…”
Xu Ning began, wanting to ask if they could drive away.
But before he could finish, Xiao Fangfang waved her hands repeatedly, looking anxious and scared.
“Don’t you dare open your mouth!”
“Brother, I’m sorry, isn’t that enough?”
“From now on, I won’t say anything either!”
“Can you please stop messing with me?”
“If you say another word, I’m afraid I’ll have a hemorrhage later!”
Xu Ning was amused and simply said nothing, driving away directly.
Meanwhile, the audience in the live stream was almost going crazy with laughter.
“Xiao Fangfang, who always plays tricks on others during her live streams, has finally met her destined nemesis today!”
“If the young man keeps talking, Xiao Fangfang might really become the first person to die from excessive menstrual flow!”
“The streamer is actually live streaming such a niche topic as menstruation!”
“I’m really afraid Xiao Fangfang will be so ashamed she’ll quit the internet!”
“How about you, Ride-hailing driver, also stream? I want to watch!”
…In the car, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Xu Ning didn’t care, but Xiao Fangfang truly felt like she had nowhere to hide, barely daring to look at Xu Ning.
After a while, they finally arrived at their destination.
Xiao Fangfang quickly paid, completing the transaction on the platform.
“Congratulations, Host, for working hard and earning 57.48 yuan, receiving a 100,000-fold bonus of 5.748 million yuan!”
But just then, after paying, Xiao Fangfang got out of the car and ran off as if she were trying to skip out on the bill.
Xu Ning couldn’t help but wonder, thinking, “You’ve already paid, why are you still running?”
However, when he pulled open the car door to get in, he instantly froze, feeling utterly bewildered.
“Don’t run!”
“Aren’t you taking your car?”
Xu Ning shouted loudly at Xiao Fangfang’s retreating back, extremely anxious!
Are you treating me like a Ride-hailing driver too?
Xu Ning really didn’t want to drive his car to the Police Station again!
Otherwise, Officer Wang would surely think he was a jinx!
Xiao Fangfang heard Xu Ning’s shout and only then remembered that the car was hers, and she hadn’t called a Ride-hailing driver, but a Ride-hailing driver.
So, amidst the wild laughter and mockery of the live stream audience, she blushed, lowered her head, and obediently returned to Xu Ning to get her car keys.
Originally, Xu Ning had wanted to tease her a bit, but seeing her embarrassed state, he decided against it.
Otherwise, what if she committed suicide out of shame right in front of him!
After completing this order, Xu Ning checked the time and saw it was already midnight, so he simply went offline to prepare for bed.
While making money brought happiness, physical health was equally important.
Besides, how much money was enough?
Xu Ning had raked in over 80 million yuan tonight; what more could he be dissatisfied with?
Finally, finally, finally, his account balance could be maintained above 200 million yuan.
It really wasn’t easy!
There had been times when it reached 200 million before, but it quickly dropped below that due to various uses.
And now, even if he finalized the investment with the producer Chen Yi tomorrow and transferred 40 million yuan, his account balance would still be 203 million yuan.
He felt like he could finally dream of his big villa!
Compared to the dormitory, the hotel room environment was undoubtedly much better, so he slept very comfortably.
If it weren’t for cherishing his last days in the dormitory, Xu Ning would truly have the urge to move out immediately.
The next day, he still woke up early, quickly got ready, and headed straight to Xiao Dong’s house.
When entrusted by others, one must be loyal to their task; Xu Ning had to do this.
Although he worked as a Ride-hailing driver so late every night and still had to wake up early, thinking of an income of 100 million yuan a week, there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Not long after dropping Xiao Dong off at kindergarten, Xu Ning received a call from Chen Yi.
“That… Young Master Xu…” Chen Yi’s voice was filled with immense trepidation, as if he saw the dawn but feared all his hopes would be dashed.
Xu Ning, of course, understood his state of mind; he probably felt just as anxious when he first got the system but hadn’t yet verified it.
“Let’s meet somewhere to talk,” Xu Ning said with a calm smile. “How about Starbucks on Fumin Road?”
Although Starbucks couldn’t be considered a high-end place, with coffee prices over 20 yuan a cup, Xu Ning, given his past circumstances, would never have gone there.
However, now, he could go to any expensive place; it was just that at this time, there were no suitable options.
“Good… good, I’ll be right there!” Chen Yi was so excited his voice seemed to tremble.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yi and Shi Wenqiang almost embraced in celebration.
“Lao Shi, Young Master Xu agreed to meet!”
“The investment is secured. Once the contract is signed, you quickly refine the script completely, and then we’ll start filming!”
“Putting everything else aside, we must live up to Young Master Xu’s trust; we must succeed, not fail!”
Chen Yi shook Shi Wenqiang’s shoulders, tears even welling up in his eyes.
However, at this moment, Shi Wenqiang was a little calmer and expressed his concerns with some difficulty.
“Lao Chen, tell me, is it possible that this Young Master Xu, like those coal bosses in the past, is investing just to promote his mistress?”
“What if he really designates someone to play the female lead?”
Shi Wenqiang’s words plunged Chen Yi into thought; he clearly had similar hidden worries.
After all, according to the script, this film had very high demands on several main actors, especially the female lead.
Not to mention inexperienced amateurs, even those highly praised young actresses might not meet their requirements.
He couldn’t help but shake his head, Chen Yi seemed to be comforting his brother, and also himself.
“Let’s not think so much for now. Young Master Xu hasn’t said anything yet, we don’t need to worry needlessly here!”
“Perhaps Young Master Xu doesn’t even have that idea!”
However, when he said this, even he himself felt unsure.
The two soon arrived at the agreed place, ordered coffee, and waited for Xu Ning restlessly.
A short while later, Xu Ning also arrived.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Xu Ning smiled and greeted the two, then shook hands with each of them.
“Young Master Xu, this is the director and screenwriter of our film, Shi Wenqiang,” Chen Yi quickly introduced.
“Young Master Xu, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Shi Wenqiang, without the arrogance and poverty of many literati, greeted respectfully.
Xu Ning firmly shook Shi Wenqiang’s hand and praised with a smile, “Director Shi, being able to write and direct, you are truly a great talent!”
Seeing that Xu Ning was very amiable and did not have the arrogance of some young masters, they relaxed considerably.
Next, the two handed the script to Xu Ning and then introduced the film project in detail.
Xu Ning actually didn’t know too much about how film projects operated.
Originally, he decided to invest, on the one hand, to broaden his investment channels, and on the other hand, he felt that Chen Yi, as a producer, genuinely wanted to make films.
But after reading the script today, he genuinely became interested.
At least, the story told in the script greatly attracted him.
This project, I, Xu Ning, will invest in it!
