Zhang Yuan and Qian Ge's joint performance quickly conquered the landlord Xin Xiangmei.

He deliberately proposed to settle the bill in US dollars.

Firstly, the exchange rate of U.S. dollar to Chinese yuan was above 8 all year round in those days, and 20 U.S. dollars was equivalent to 160 million Chinese yuan, which was obviously more than the 130 million that the landlord expected.

Secondly, Zhang Yuan knew that the other party wanted to immigrate to Dengta, so he deliberately offered to pay U.S. dollars to create the illusion that it was very convenient for the other party.

Of course, I say this to bring up the next topic.

"Daole is great, it's just convenient for me to use." The landlord was overjoyed.

Not only can you earn hundreds of thousands more, but you can also use it directly in the Beacon Country, avoiding the loss of exchange.

"Oh, is it convenient for you?" Zhang Yuan asked with a puzzled look, knowing the answer anyway.

"Yes, yes, I'm going to immigrate to Dengta in a while. Don't you think this is a coincidence?" The landlord was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Go to the lighthouse!" Zhang Yuan's expression changed into surprise. His expression changed so quickly and smoothly that Brother Qian beside him nodded repeatedly.

"No wonder this guy is so successful in the film and television industry. If I were the landlord, I would probably be intimidated by him."

Brother Qian laughed secretly in his heart and sighed at the same time.

"I originally thought that Degang was a very capable person and difficult to deal with, and I was afraid that Zhang Yuan would not be able to catch him in the future."

"But now it seems that even if Zhang Yuan uses his full strength, Lao Guo will not be his match."

"When it comes to teasing people, Zhang Yuan is the master."

Before putting on makeup, Brother Qian hesitated. Can our excuses fool the landlord?
Zhang Yuan was not worried at all.

"He even believed what was published in Yilin and Gushihui. It's obvious that his intelligence is questionable."

Now that I see it, it’s really good.

Zhang Yuan saw through the landlord at a glance and dug a big hole for him to jump into.

The landlord excitedly told the landlord that he was about to immigrate and plan to live in San Francisco. He also said that he sold the house here in order to raise money to buy a house in Lighthouse.

"Oh, then you'd better buy it quickly!" Jin Taixi, played by Zhang Yuan, frowned.

"what happened?"

"Mr. Xin, come to think of it, I am actually a mixed-race."

"My father is from the Lighthouse, and my mother is from the United States."

"I don't like ordinary Chinese people. They are rude, poor and uneducated." When Zhang Yuan said this, he slapped himself more than eight hundred times in his heart.

But in order to put himself in the shoes of the Koreans, he had to say this.

"But you are different. You will become a lighthouse worker in the future. Then we will be compatriots!"

"Yes, yes, yes, compatriots!" The landlord was stunned by being fooled.

Zhang Yuan had no sympathy for this kind of traitor, and the right thing to do was to make good use of his hatred for the country.

"Since we are going to be compatriots, I have to tell you a little news."

After saying that, Zhang Yuan looked at Brother Qian cautiously, then pulled the landlord a few steps away and came to the side.

He pretended to avoid Park In-yong on purpose.

When the landlord saw it, he thought that what this person was going to say must be very important.

“In fact, Mr. Park is also arranging assets in Lighthouse, especially real estate.”

"Because they have received news that house prices in Lighthouse may see a significant increase in the next few months."

In fact, Zhang Yuan was not talking nonsense. The housing prices in Dengta would start to increase in early 04 and reach its peak in mid-06.

Then two years later, there was the subprime mortgage crisis…

When he lied, what he said was always a mixture of truth and lies. If it was all lies, it would be too easy for people to catch the flaw.

"So if you want to buy a house in Beacon, you have to buy it quickly, the sooner the better."

"If you buy early, you can make a profit from the price difference."

"Really?" The landlord was overjoyed.

I met a good person!

"You can go and ask around, but this is the inside information of Park's company, so don't say that I leaked it."

"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped!"

The landlord had no doubts and thought that this was a case of one's own people helping one's own people, after all, they were all Lighthouse people.

Little do people know that overseas, the people who love to cheat Chinese people the most are the Chinese people themselves, and they will have endless "blessings" in the future.

Soon, the deal was finalized.

Mr. Park In-yong paid 10,000 Chinese Yuan as a deposit on the spot, and the rest will be paid in US dollars.

Before saying goodbye, Zhang Yuan repeatedly asked the landlord to reserve the house on the other side of the lighthouse first, and he would pay the remaining full amount within a month.

The two got into a rented Mercedes-Benz and drove away.

The landlord is still envious behind.

"As expected of the Park Group, they can afford such an expensive car!"

The car drove around and after Zhang Yuan paid the rent, the two returned to the courtyard and removed their makeup.

"Brother Yuan, is it okay for you to do this?" Changchang asked worriedly.

She had been peeking around and almost laughed out loud several times when she saw Zhang Yuan and Brother Qian pretending to be Koreans.

"Sing, do you know what is the best way to make an ordinary woman unable to get married?"

Shu Chang shook his head.

Zhang Yuan said calmly.

"That is to find a tall, rich and handsome man who is attentive and considerate to her and have a relationship with her."

"Not only did he send her gifts every day, he also took her everywhere to eat and drink lavishly, and traveled abroad frequently."

"Let her see and experience things that don't belong to her."

"After this tall, rich and handsome guy left, this woman no longer looked down upon any other guy who was of the same social status as her."

"Because in her heart, to be worthy of me, I have to be at least on the same level as that tall, rich and handsome guy."

Shu Chang nodded as if he understood, feeling a little jealous.

"Then after I met Brother Yuan, will I also never look down on others again?"

Zhang Yuan knew that the most vicious way to destroy a person was to flatter him.

The most vicious way to ruin a woman of marriageable age is to drive up the price of the currency.

“The same goes for landlords.”

"After seeing Park In-yong, who was generous and a foreigner, he no longer looked down on other buyers."

"He will personally help us get rid of other competitors."

Changchang smiled sweetly and leaned forward gently: "Yeah, Brother Yuan is really amazing."

You see, this emotional value provides...

Sure enough, the landlord Xin Xiangmei quickly contacted other potential buyers and used the extremely high price of 160 million yuan to scare them away or make them curse.

This price obviously exceeds the market average.

Zhang Yuan also received a call from the other party.

"I know, but Mr. Xin, there is a saying that goes, even if the deal fails, the friendship remains."

"I still treat you as a friend."

"If you change your mind, I am also a straightforward person and am willing to pay the full amount in cash."

The landlord was stunned for a long time after hearing what he said.

The other customers had very bad attitudes after receiving the calls, but Zhang Yuan was the only one who remained polite, which left a deep impression on them and increased their favorability towards him.

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Putting down his phone, Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry. All he had to do now was to wait.

Two days later, he set off from the imperial capital and flew to Xiangcheng.

The purpose of this trip is to participate in the recording of "Happy Camp" as requested by Zhang Da Hu Zi, and to promote the satellite broadcast of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

Of course there is no reward.

The actors are not paid. Whether the TV station program crew will pay them or not depends on the bearded man's bank card.

When we arrived at Xiangcheng TV Station and went up to the backstage of the studio on the eighth floor, we saw a lively scene.

"Brother Jun!"

"Sister Tao!"

"Brother Bluff!"

Zhang Yuan entered the dressing room and lounge and greeted them with a smile.

"Zhang Yuan is here, come and sit down." The rough man Hu Jun stood up, pulled him to his side, and sat down on him, pressing his shoulders.

Then he sat between Hu Jun and Liu Tao.

This position is very delicate, and Jun Ge clearly wants to avoid suspicion.

He has high energy output when he is on the crew, and acts like an ordinary person outside the crew. The actors are really amazing.

"I still have to thank you."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuan asked puzzledly.

"If you had introduced the movie 'Painting Soul' to me, I would have acted in it." Hu Jun said casually.

Oh, it’s the one where Liu Ye hooked him up… Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Tao again.

Could it be that after much thought, Brother Jun decided that Liu Ye was more capable than Liu Tao, so he ignored him?

"Zhang Yuan, you are so amazing." Sister Tao held her chin with one hand and looked at him: "Can you introduce me to someone new someday?"

"If there's a chance, I'll definitely think of Sister Tao first."

After all, if I have the chance to go out to sea in the future, I will still have to rely on Mazu for the buff.

"Hehehe..." Liu Tao laughed with his eyes narrowed as usual, looking quite cheerful.

At this moment, the door of the lounge opened and a pretty mother and daughter walked in.

Of course it was Liu Xixi and Liu Xiaoli. Zhang Yuan hadn't seen Xixi for a long time, so he stood up and walked forward with a smile.

Liu Xiaoli also greeted everyone and nudged Xixi: "Call someone."

However, when Aunt Liu's eyes swept over Zhang Yuan, they became a little colder, and she was obviously very dissatisfied.

Sissi twisted her nose and frowned, as if she was sending him a telegram.

"Just say what you want to say. It makes you feel uncomfortable." Zhang Yuan really didn't understand what she meant.

"Zhang Yuan, I want to talk to you."

Before Xixi could speak, Liu Xiaoli called him aside.

"Look at the way Aunt Liu looks at Zhang Yuan. It's as if she wants to eat him." Gao Hu tilted his head and checked secretly.

"He couldn't have done anything to the girl, could he?" Hu Jun crossed his arms.

Liu Tao snorted coldly, what a lack of taste, what's the point of teasing a teenage girl.

It would be so nice to have that energy.

Coming to the corner of the lounge, Liu Xiaoli frowned and spoke.

Although his attitude was still kind, it was somewhat reproachful.

"Zhang Yuan, you young people should seize the time to study and achieve more in your work while you are still young."

When parents say this, it sounds a bit pretentious or empty.

But Liu Xiaoli was the only one who spoke the truth. She herself had gone through this.

To become a national first-class dancer at such a young age was the result of hard training day and night.

So, to educate your children, you must set a good example yourself. If you are a lazy person all day long and like to brag, then don't blame your children for not making progress. This is called genetics.

Liu Xiaoli said this with a stance.

"Video games are not nutritious. You should all read more books, especially classics, so that you can improve yourself."

If it was before "The Story of a Noble Family", Liu Xiaoli would probably have directly blamed Zhang and asked him to stay away from her daughter.

But after this period of time, she realized that Zhang Yuan was a young actor with potential.

For the sake of her daughter's future, she cannot offend anyone easily.

"But Aunt Liu, this game is different. I've already told Xixi about it."

"This game is going to be adapted into a TV series, so she can get familiar with the original story in advance."

When Liu Xiaoli heard him say that, she became even more unhappy.

You're bragging in front of me, right?
In those days, there were movies and TV series adapted from games, but they were rare in mainland China.

In a sense, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" allowed the entire market to see the huge potential of the two themes of game adaptation and fairy tales.

"Zhang Yuan, it's okay to play games, but you can't teach our Xixi to lie."

Liu Xiaoli has a strong desire to control her daughter!

In fact, she is a very elegant woman. After all, she is a professional dancer with good temperament and solid skills.

But in order to fight for the custody of her daughter, she put aside her usual elegant temperament and acted like a shrew, going crazy for several months before forcing her ex-husband to let go.

Her daughter is her life.

"I'm lying, am I?" Zhang Yuan spread his hands helplessly. "I've always been honest and I always keep my word. I'm known as an honest and trustworthy young man."

Phew… Gao Hu, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn’t hold back his laughter.

"Do you have any objections?" Zhang Yuan glanced at him.

"I thought of something happy." Gao Hu apologized quickly.

You are honest and trustworthy, so you can only cheat on underage girls, but you can't cheat on old ladies...

Seeing that Liu Xiaoli's face turned blue and her lips drooped, Zhang Yuan asked her to wait and called Cai Yinong.

Within five minutes, Liu Xiaoli's cell phone rang.

"Hey, Jin Fei, what's up?"

She received a call from Chen Jinfei, a wealthy businessman who was a returnee and a lickspittle for her partner, Xixi's godfather, and the financial sponsor of Liu's mother and daughter.

"Sugarman Films?"

"Audition for The Chinese Paladin?"

"Ah, I see..."

Putting down her phone, Liu Xiaoli looked at Zhang Yuan with a puzzled expression, similar to that of an ordinary person eating Brother Qian's cold dishes for the first time.

At this moment, the same thought as old man Yuan Kuocheng arose in her mind.

"Ayuan, are you serious?"

Zhang Yuan was also depressed.

He usually brags and lies to others, and he always comes true.

Sometimes when I tell the truth, no one believes me. What kind of world is this?

"Aunt Liu, I didn't lie to you."

"I have worked with Xixi twice and I think she has a special talent for acting, so I discussed with the producers and asked Xixi to audition for the female lead."

"Oh……"

Zhang Yuan: …

You believed me when I told you that your daughter has a talent for acting, right?

It turns out that people only believe what they want to believe.

"Can you talk to the sugar man?"

Liu Xiaoli also understands the market and knows that Tangren Film and Television is like Qin Shihuang's fart in the industry, which will have a certain impact.

Even though the subject matter is similar, Zhouyi Film and Television, which has risen rapidly in recent years with TV series such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Wulin Waishi", and "Young King", has only posed a small threat to Tangren and does not have the strength to compete on the same stage.

Although the head office is in the north, Tangren is its center. Among the TV drama production companies in Shanghai, Tangren is considered one of the top ones.

"I am quite familiar with their boss Cai, and this drama is a bit special, so I also have a small share of the investment."

Liu Xiaoli opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Not only did he get to know the owner of Sugarman, he also invested in a TV series!

I haven't seen this kid for about half a year. What on earth did he do in such a short time?
"So, Auntie, don't worry, I will take good care of Xixi." Zhang Yuan said meticulously.

"Oh……"

Hey, why does this sound weird... Liu Xiaoli knew that Zhang Yuan was talking about the filming of a TV series, but she always felt that something was wrong.

He turned around and looked at his daughter.

At this moment, Xixi was holding her little head high with a proud look similar to that of a kitten when it first learned to dig in the cat litter.

It's not a good thing, but she is just proud of it.

"Zhang Yuan, I misunderstood. I'm sorry." What else could Liu Xiaoli say?

He always keeps his word.

The key is to allow Xixi to get in touch with Tangren, and this opportunity is very rare.

"Auntie, can I talk to Xixi about the future of this drama?"

"Uh...you young people can chat, ahem, I'll go make some tea."

Liu Xiaoli had to leave in embarrassment.

Amid the surprised looks of Hu Jun, Liu Tao and Gao Hu, Zhang Yuan and Qianqian sat aside.

"He got the old aunt done?"

"I didn't expect that he is also a housewife killer!" Hu Jun received.

These two grown men knew that although Liu Xiaoli looked easy to talk to, she actually had a lot of opinions and was not easy to fool.

While they were surprised that Zhang Yuan had dealt with Liu Xiaoli, Xixi was pulling him with excitement on her face.

"Zhang Yuan, you are amazing. You even managed to trick my mother."

"How did I lie to him?" Zhang Yuan looked puzzled.

"You're amazing for creating fake audition notices."

Zhang Yuan: …

There are experts too!

"You didn't always think that I really wanted you to play games, did you?" Zhang Yuanren was stunned.

"Oh, you are serious!" Xixi finally reacted.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" She was still unhappy.

"Didn't I keep telling you that this game was going to be adapted into a TV series? I..."

"Don't scold me, don't scold me..." Xixi covered her ears and lowered her head.

"Okay, I won't be angry with you." Zhang Yuan punched himself on the chest a few times and said to himself.

I don't get angry with fools...

"So how was your game?"

"Are you sad about the Demon Locking Tower?"

"Are you surprised that Yue Ru appears in the finale?"

When Xixi heard this, she was stunned.

"What is the Demon Locking Tower?"

"Who is Yueru?"

"You've been playing for half a year, but you haven't reached the Demon Locking Tower?" Zhang Yuan looked as if he had seen a ghost: "Don't you know Lin Yueru?"

"Isn't this game just about leveling up by beating monsters in a place called Shilipo?" Xixi showed a simple and stupid look.

Zhang Yuan fell headfirst onto the table.

Good guy.

I even met the Sword God of Shilipo... (End of this chapter)
