98: I want to pluck all its fur.
With the Loyalty Aura, the original management team at the factory remained unchanged, and everyone cooperated with the new general manager's work, making Qiu Wanjun's takeover of the Xiongxin Factory very smooth.
After receiving their red envelopes, the regular employees were full of joy and went to work as usual.
Factory production was proceeding normally, and two orders for Motorola mobile phone accessories were being fulfilled as scheduled.
After Qiu Wanjun smoothed out the operations, he also began contacting domestic clients to discuss orders.
"Chief Qiu, are you saying that our company's mobile phones can use Motorola-grade Chips?" CECT company president Wu Zhiyang almost jumped out of his boss chair.
By relying on a strategy of low-to-mid-range mobile phones, CECT phones had become the fifth largest in the domestic market, but product reviews were very poor. The main reason for the negative reviews was that the phones sold were all assembled, white-label devices with basically no core technical support of their own.
Qiu Wanjun corrected Wu Zhiyang's statement.
"It is a Motorola factory-process Chip, but not Motorola Chip technology. We obtained the Chip technology authorization from Zhongxin, and it belongs to the top-tier Chips in the current market. We can send some to President Wu for testing."
Qiu Wanjun secured the first order from the CECT mobile phone manufacturer.
The company was already operating normally, so Li Xiuwu and Pan Lei drove away from Tianjin and returned to the capital.
the legendary twins was being filmed in the capital. After returning to the capital, Li Xiuwu immediately went back to school to see Wang Jinsong.
Wang Jinsong looked at him with a strange expression.
"Teacher, is something wrong with me?" Li Xiuwu touched his face; he was quite handsome.
"The role in this production isn't very significant. Do you really want to act in it?" Wang Jinsong asked him.
"Of course." Li Xiuwu put the two cartons of Huazi cigarettes and a bag of tea leaves he had brought back into Wang Jinsong's cabinet, taking a look at his collection while he was at it.
"What's the matter, didn't Director give you a role?" He turned back to look at his teacher.
"Director—no, that's not right, you've led me astray. Can't you be more respectful to the Director?" Wang Jinsong felt that Li Xiuwu didn't show enough respect to many seniors and famous big-name Directors in the film and television industry.
"I'll pay attention next time." Li Xiuwu replied casually.
Wang Jinsong looked at his expression and couldn't do anything about him.
"If one can find a well-known actor to play a supporting role, Director is naturally willing, but this role is too small."
In the role that Wang Jinsong had helped Li Xiuwu secure in the legendary twins production, with two male leads, where could there be any standout male roles left?
He had originally planned to secure the role of Jiang Yulang, but who knew that the new version of the script had removed this character, merging the character design with Jiang Yuyan.
The other roles in this TV series weren't as outstanding.
"You have starred as the Protagonist in three consecutive TV series, and now you're coming to play a supporting role." Wang Jinsong was a bit doubtful. Many people in the entertainment industry worry about their status; once they have played the Protagonist, they generally won't play second fiddle to others unless the resources are very important.
"Zhang Yimou is going to film a blockbuster next year. The Principal has already helped you secure a role, and this time there absolutely won't be any problems." He reminded Li Xiuwu.
"It doesn't matter. A small role is just a small role. Going to the production team to participate and witness a legend is fine." Li Xiuwu waved his hand. To him, as long as it was interesting, the role didn't matter.
He was even willing to spare two days to go play a bit part in the home with kids production team.
Playing around was naturally done as he pleased.
"If you're willing, then go. The production team's opening press conference is the day after tomorrow." Seeing that Li Xiuwu really wanted to act, he didn't stop him.
In fact, actors should play all kinds of roles, but some young artists nowadays have idol baggage and value commercial worth, which leads to them being very picky about roles.
"This production team is a Hong Kong Circle crew. Yang Xue, who plays Jiang Yuyan, and Kong Lin, who plays Palace Mistress Yaoyue, are our alumni from the Beijing Film Academy. If anything comes up, discuss it with them more."
Wang Jinsong spoke up. Currently, in the film and television industry, the Hong Kong Circle is dominant, and he was afraid Li Xiuwu would be at a disadvantage.
"OK." Li Xiuwu made a gesture.
Returning to the Courtyard House, Shu Chang was very happy. Li Xiuwu and Liu Yifei had been gone for more than two months, and Shu Chang was already on summer vacation.
"Brother, how many days will you stay at home?" Shu Chang knew that Li Xiuwu had returned to join another production team to film.
"I'll rest for one day tomorrow and join the production team the day after." Li Xiuwu held mealworms in his hand, feeding the birds.
Several Little Fatty Birdss landed on Li Xiuwu's palm, eating the worms. Shu Chang extended her finger and stroked the head of a Little Fatty Birds.
The Little Fatty Birds tilted its head to look at her, then looked at Li Xiuwu.
"For the sake of the worms, let her pet you a few times." Li Xiuwu communicated with it.
The Little Fatty Birds didn't move and let Shu Chang pet it a few times.
"You're in such a rush." Shu Chang looked up at Li Xiuwu, feeling a bit reluctant.
"I'm going to a production team next week too."
"Hmm?" Li Xiuwu looked down at her.
"What show did you take on?"
"Jingwei Fills the Sea, filming it during the summer vacation," Shu Chang replied.
"Then there's no rush. This time, I'm filming in the capital, so I can just come back to the Courtyard House at night." Li Xiuwu didn't consider whether the production team would agree or not.
"That's great."
Dinner was cooked by Shu Chang. She already knew how to cook, and with her high comprehension, she learned well, and her culinary skills had improved significantly.
"Not bad, delicious. Your skills are almost catching up to Auntie's."
"No way, I'm still far behind." Being praised by Li Xiuwu, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she was very happy.
After dinner, the two went to the attic in the front yard. The breeze from the West Sea blew in, making it very cool.
In the summer, there were many people here cooling off.
Li Xiuwu brought out the scorched tail zither and played. The sound of the zither was melodious. Shu Chang cupped her chin, looking at Li Xiuwu, and gradually closed her eyes.
After a piece of music, the voices of people chatting by the West Sea water had all disappeared.
When the music ended, the people cooling off were reluctant to leave for a long time.
"I heard the zither music again. I wonder which master lives here." Someone asked aloud. In the last two years, they could occasionally hear zither playing from the attic. Many people came specifically to listen to the zither after dinner.
"I don't know. I went to knock on the door, and a woman opened it, saying there was no master, just a few children living here."
"The greatest hermits live in the city; they just don't want to be exposed."
The crowd chatted about who lived in this Courtyard House, but talked and talked without reaching any conclusion.
Even if they live in the same Courtyard House, the social classes are different.
It's not impossible to live in a Courtyard House and collect social security benefits.
The next day, after Li Xiuwu got up and finished washing, while he was practicing swordplay, Shu Chang came over angrily.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiuwu looked at her angry appearance, curious about who had provoked her.
"That Budgerigar of yours is too detestable, I want to kill it." Shu Chang was very angry, but blushed a little when she saw Li Xiuwu.
"Suit yourself, I have no way to deal with it anyway."
That Budgerigar was truly cheeky; Li Xiuwu didn't want to pay it any attention.
"Help me catch it, I want to pluck its feathers." Shu Chang was still huffing and puffing.
Li Xiuwu perceived it keenly, looked up, and saw the Budgerigar on the roof ridge.
It was using its beak to preen its feathers, sizing up the two people with its side eye.
