Chapter 277 The long-awaited call

"Eat something. You don't look well these past two days."

Zeng Li walked into the study room carrying a plate of fruit.

The study was filled with a strong smell of cigarettes. Chen An's hair was a little messy, and he had a cigarette in his hand. The ashtray next to him was full of cigarette butts.

Scratching his head, Chen An threw away his pen and said, "I won't paint anymore. I'll take a break."

"I've been drawing for several days, and I haven't even seen your script yet."

Zeng Li put the fruit down and said resentfully.

I wanted to ask him about the script, but he refused to talk no matter what and wouldn't show it to me, just like he was guarding against a thief.

"I've already told you, let's talk about it after we're sure. I'm not sure myself right now."

Chen An picked up a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth, saying while eating that it was useless for you to pester him.

"And you'd better look forward to Feng Xiaogang's movie being shot soon, otherwise I will definitely not look for you when the time comes. No one can interfere with my scenes!"

"Ah, the movie hasn't even been released yet. How can I know when it will be finished?" Zeng Li said with an expression of "I don't care". "It's my turn now. I don't care!"

Seeing that Chen An ignored him, he turned around, finished the food in his mouth, and started to make moves.

Chen An was exhausted from defending himself, but after some resistance he still let the other person crawl into his arms.

Just then, the cell phone on the table rang. Someone was calling, and Qingtian's voice came from the ringtone.

"Stop it, there's a phone call." Chen An held the other person down and stopped him from moving, then picked up the phone and answered the unfamiliar number.

Chen An held the phone and said, "Hello~"

"Hello, are you Director Chen An?"

"Yes, are you?"

Listening to the unfamiliar voice on the phone, I was sure it wasn't an acquaintance calling from a new phone, and I was a little curious about how the other party got my private number.

After hearing his confirmation, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Chen An was about to hang up, but suddenly someone else said, "Hello, young man. This is the China Space Administration. Are you interested in coming over to talk?"

"."

Old Liu frowned. After he finished speaking, there was silence from the other side. What did it mean?
"No problem, I'll come right away!"

After a moment's silence, an excited voice came from the other end of the phone. It seemed that he was too happy just now.

Old Liu smiled and said, "Well, young man, I'll wait for you at the bureau. When you get to the door, call again and I'll have someone let you in."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

After Chen An hung up the phone, he threw the phone away and stood up happily holding Zeng Li in his arms, "Hahaha, there's news. Stay at home and be good. I'm going out for a while!"

"Hey, hey, hey, I get it, let me down!"

Zeng Li, who was being held and spun around, gently patted Chen An's shoulders, making her dizzy.

After putting the other person on the chair, Chen An turned around and began to pack his things, sorting out the drawings scattered on the table, intending to take them together.

"Slow down, it's only nine o'clock, you have plenty of time. Go take a shower first and I'll help you clean up. How will you look like meeting others with such messy hair?"

Seeing Chen An in such a hurry, Zeng Li comforted him like a wife.

Let him clean up first and then you can clean up yourself.

"I forgot. I'll go take a shower first. You organize all the drawings on the table." Chen An reacted and kissed Zeng Li on the face for reminding him, then planned to go wash up.

Zeng Li, who was kissed, patted Chen An's shoulder teasingly, "You shameless fellow, go now."

"Weren't you very excited just now?"

"Go take a bath!"

Chen An chuckled, turned around and walked out the door, and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower. Zeng Li helped him tidy up the drawings on the table, thinking about the news he had just heard, and then looked at the drawings in his hand, "The Space Administration is here, I must get it this time, I can't let it go!"

She must not miss it and must seize this opportunity!
After taking a quick shower and drying his hair, Chen An put on his clothes. Zhao Xiong was already at the door.

I picked up my things and got in the car in a hurry.

The space agency even called me personally, so the chances are great.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is just an affiliate, so there will be no problem as long as we can deal with the Space Administration.

After rushing to the other party's building, Chen An made a phone call while feeling a little nervous. Only then did the security let him in. They only allowed Chen An to pass through and checked him before letting him in.

"Brother Zhao, please wait a moment." Chen An said to Zhao Xiong before going in.

"No problem, I'll find a place to park first, and you can just call me when the time comes."

Zhao Xiong nodded to indicate that it was okay.

After entering, Chen An was led into the building.

Soon I was taken into a room, which was empty, so I had to wait for a while.

"Sorry for the wait, young man."

After sitting on the sofa and waiting for a while, the door of the room was opened and three men in work clothes walked in.

A man wearing thick glasses and work clothes, looked to be in his forties, and had a smile on his face.

This was the person who just spoke, and it was also him who notified me to come over on the phone.

A man with slicked-back hair and a Mao suit, dressed meticulously, older than the man next to him, with a hint of white in his temples, stood in the middle.

The last one was a young man who looked only a few years older than Chen An. He looked well-mannered and looked at Chen An curiously.

"No, I've only been here for a short time. I just sat down." Chen An stood up and said with a smile.

The man wearing thick glasses smiled and said, "My last name is Liu, this is our Director Sun, and this is Xiao Chen. We have the same last name as you, and it's fate. He was the one who gave me your script."

Chen An nodded and said gratefully, "Mr. Liu and Director Sun, thank you for calling me here, and Brother Chen, thank you for your help. I really appreciate it."

In response to Chen An's thanks, the young man surnamed Chen waved his hand and said that it was just a matter of convenience and there was no need for thanks. He just wanted an autograph for him, as his wife liked watching his movies.

Chen An nodded in agreement without thinking.

"Don't be nervous, young man. Let's talk slowly."

The three people from the other side sat on the sofa opposite Chen An. Director Zhang, who was sitting in the middle, had a serious expression on his face, but spoke softly.

Chen An nodded and sat down.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not nervous. The man in the middle is at least a lieutenant general. The Space Administration is not just about aerospace, it's part of the national defense.

"Relax, young man. We read your script and found it quite interesting. You even thought of growing potatoes on Mars."

"Ah, this is just my whim. When we rural people see land, we will think about whether we can grow vegetables, so I came up with this idea. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Chen An scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile.

Facing Chen An's explanation, Old Liu, who was wearing glasses, suddenly laughed and patted Director Sun on the shoulder. "I said that young people are full of creative ideas, unlike us old guys, whose minds are not that active!"

Director Sun couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, the future will ultimately belong to the young people. But I think your script is quite professional. It doesn't seem like a simple idea."

"I looked up some information and spent a long time writing the script, figuring it out bit by bit. Some of it was from reference books and some I just wrote on my own."

Chen An shook his head, indicating that he was just writing it randomly.

But the other party was not wrong. This script was produced with the participation of NASA of the United States, so it is no wonder that the other party recognized it.
