After receiving Brother Qian's call, Zhang Yuan hurriedly left Boss Cai's office, leaving the two bosses of Tangren Film and Television to chat alone.

"Yinong, there is something I want to talk to you about."

Li Guoli sat opposite Boss Cai, which was where Zhang Yuan had just sat.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that his benefactor and life mentor had a gloomy look on his face, Boss Cai made tea for him like a junior and asked with concern.

"You know Wu Jingyuan. He once directed the second part of My Date with a Vampire, so he is very familiar with Chen Shisan and his wife."

"Oh," Boss Cai listened carefully.

"He told me that he had just had dinner with Chen Shisan a while ago."

"Thirteen told him that Zhang Yuan had just participated in the production of A Chinese Ghost Story, which he wrote."

"He smiled bitterly and told Wu Jingyuan that the boy had finished filming."

"Not only did the supporting role almost become the main character, but when the final pay was calculated, it was increased by 50%."

"But he and Li Huizhu not only couldn't find any fault with him, but they also had to thank him for helping the crew a lot."

"They both think that Zhang Yuan is a very special guy. They have never seen an actor of this age with such a brain."

"So..." Boss Cai didn't understand what the other party meant.

"So, Director Wu just told me that he felt there were some problems with today's audition." Director Li crossed his arms, a look of worry on his face.

"Oh?" Boss Cai put down his tea and leaned forward.

"Those four people suddenly came over from Formosa."

“Obviously, he’s extremely popular, but after the audition, it became clear how good Zhang Yuan is.”

"Director Wu told me that based on Chen Shisan's evaluation of Zhang Yuan, he suspected that the boy was involved."

"What?" Boss Cai's willow-shaped eyebrows were twitched.

"I also think it's possible."

Director Li felt that if this was exactly what Zhang Yuan was planning, then this guy would be too difficult to deal with.

What he meant was to remind Cai Yinong to be careful.

But unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect!

After hearing this, Boss Cai's eyes lit up!
"If he is really that powerful, he should be under the command of us Sugar Man!"

Li Guoli: You TM...

The current situation is.

Zhang Yuan is very capable. Boss Cai feels that he has made the right choice in choosing him and that he has a good eye and must win him over.

I found out that he was more powerful, which proved that I had better vision and I had to take him down...

Just like a girl in love, once she is infatuated, any shortcomings of the other party will automatically turn into advantages, and she will ignore all potential risks.

"Yinong, you are too persistent, be careful."

Director Li advised helplessly.

Zhang Yuan walked towards the office door, and a clear female voice came from behind him.

"Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, where are you going?"

Liu Qianqian followed and poked her head out from beside him.

"Have you signed your contract?"

"My mother is signing for me. I'm not old enough." Xixi frowned in distress.

"That's good, see you on the set later."

"Are you going?"

"Go back to the imperial capital. Do you remember the courtyard you visited?"

"Oh, that little house."

Zhang Yuan: …

You are amazing, you are arrogant!

Your family is rich, so this is just a small house in your eyes...

Never mind, what they said is the truth.

In order to change her citizenship, her mother married a lighthouse lawyer, who lived in a big mansion abroad.

"I like it there very much. There are koi and birds." Xixi added with a sweet smile.

There are also big birds, but you can’t see them for now…

Yes, she prefers to be close to nature.

"I plan to buy that house, and you can come and visit often in the future."

"Okay!"

She was still young and had no idea how much money it would cost to buy a house or how difficult it was to earn that money.

Zhang Yuan was walking and thinking, when he gets rich, he will work with Brother Qian to build a pet park called Tianjing Dihua.

"Xixi, what are you doing?" Liu Xiaoli caught up with her daughter with the contract in hand.

"Where is Zhang Yuanren?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"He has returned to the imperial capital."

"Oh." Liu Xiaoli frowned. This expression and action were exactly the same as her daughter's.

"He recommended you a play, and you're the leading actress. Why didn't you stop him? At least treat him to a meal."

Liu Xiaoli was quite surprised when she learned from the crew that Zhang Yuan was involved in the film investment. She thought that he was so young and could be deeply tied to a company like Tangren, and he would achieve something in the future.

It would be a win-win situation to make friends with them now.

"He said he wanted to go back and buy a house." Xixi spread her hands, looking indifferent.

"Buy a house?" Liu Xiaoli reacted instantly: "Buy the courtyard house he lives in?"

"Ah."

Liu Xiaoli narrowed her eyes.

Not only can you make money, but you also know how to spend it.

At her age, it is not surprising that she knows about buying a house and real estate for long-term investment.

But in his twenties, not only did he not spend money recklessly, he also had investment acumen, which was amazing.

"His house is in a good location and is worth buying."

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter and then thought about Zhang Yuan.

They are only a few years apart, but their mentalities are so different...

After returning to the imperial capital by plane, Zhang Yuan hurried back to the small courtyard.

As soon as Brother Qian saw him coming home, he immediately came to greet him with a smile on his face.

"The landlord was so anxious that he looked like he was going to bite someone. He came three or four times!"

"My eyes are red, I'm almost having high blood pressure."

Brother Qian is from the imperial capital, and the landlord Xin Xiangmei is also from the imperial capital.

Although the two are from the same hometown, Brother Qian has no good feelings towards the landlord.

Brother Qian looks down on that guy who keeps thinking about immigration and keeps saying that China is inferior to others in every way.

He felt that he had lost the people of the old imperial capital.

Why is the landlord so anxious?
Because last time Zhang Yuan and Brother Qian disguised themselves and frightened the landlord, completely fooling him.

This person really believes that there is a foreigner who is willing to buy his house at a high price just because of sentimentality.

He then turned around and showed off with a big mouth, offending most of the potential buyers.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan also told him that housing prices in the Beacon Country were about to rise.

After this person made inquiries and verified the accuracy of the news, he became even more convinced that the two's identities were fake.

He immediately went all in and used all his savings to pay a 30% deposit and the total price for a large mansion in Lighthouse.

He was just waiting for the $20 that Brother Qian promised to pay, so that he could pay the balance and settle down permanently in Lighthouse.

then……

There's no after that.

This person will not come no matter how hard you wait.

"Mr. Park Renmeng has already paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan, and he said the balance will be transferred soon. Where is he?"

While he was waiting for Dao Le, the owner of the house at the other end of the lighthouse came to his door.

"If he doesn't pay the balance, he will be in breach of contract. Not only will he be sued, but he won't be able to get back the money he paid before."

The landlord was anxious and hurried to ask the agent...the one who had been bribed by Zhang Yuan a long time ago.

The agent pretended to look everywhere and finally told the landlord helplessly.

"After Mr. Park met you, he went to Guangdong, and then lost contact with you there..."

I'm getting irritated and sweating profusely!

It was like a bolt from the blue, Kucha cried out.

Gone!

If the buyers of the houses are gone, the down payment for the lighthouse will also be gone!
It's all gone...

With a loud bang, the landlord almost fell down on the spot.

His heart felt so cold!

At this time, the agent gave a timely reminder.

"No, we can still find other buyers."

"Didn't your tenant say before that if you were still willing to sell, he would be willing to buy it, with cash in hand and waiting in good faith?"

The landlord came over, turned around and hurried to Pi Tiao Hutong to find Zhang Yuan.

The time has come to now.

The landlord rode his bicycle and hurried to the courtyard.

"Does what you said before still count?" The landlord pulled Zhang Yuan's arm and shook it hard!
"It counts, of course it counts." Zhang Yuan smiled: "What kind of relationship do we have? We have a lot in common."

"That's good, that's good!" The landlord was so excited that he almost kowtowed to Zhang Yuan.

"Then you hand over the money and I hand over the house. As we agreed before, 130 million..."

"Wait!" Zhang Yuan raised his hand to interrupt. "Mr. Xin, I'm sorry, I just bought a house in Dongzhimen, so I don't have enough money now."

"If it was cash, I could only get 110 million by scraping together some money and borrowing from everywhere." Zhang Yuan looked very embarrassed.

"What!"

He thoughtfully attached the property certificate he had just obtained, which was still warm, to prove that he was not talking nonsense.

Damn!

The landlord was so regretful!
Wouldn’t it have been better if you sold it to others earlier?

Now the job is done and the money has been spent.

"Why don't you wait for a while? I just got a new movie. After I finish filming and get paid, I'll be able to get the money together for you in about a year."

Brother Qian was watching.

When Zhang Yuan said this, the sincerity in his eyes almost melted into water.

"Otherwise he always gets the role, his acting skills are really outstanding..." Brother Qian felt that he was no match for Zhang Yuan.

After hearing what he said, the landlord's knees went weak.

a year?
You don’t have to transfer it to me in a year, just burn it directly to me.

The landlord closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and held his breath.

"Row!"

“110 million is fine!”

"But you have to transfer the money to me immediately."

"It will be here in three days." Zhang Yuan stood up and shook hands.

When shaking hands, he found that the other person's palms were shaking, so he had to suppress his laughter.

Turning to look at the landlord's brand new mountain bike leaning against the door, Zhang Yuan thought that it was inconvenient to drive in the small alleys in the city, and a bicycle was the best means of transportation.

So he turned around and said to Brother Qian.

"What kind of bike do you want!"

Brother Qian: ???
"My sister said she wanted a bicycle." Brother Qian looked puzzled.

"How can you still ask for my bike when I'm in such a hurry?"

"My sister has it..."

"No matter how much help you give to someone, you can't ask for the bicycle." Zhang Yuan stopped Brother Qian fiercely.

"Hey, hey...little brother, don't be angry." The landlord stretched out his hand to stop him.

"You've helped me so much, a bicycle is nothing to me!" The old emperor suddenly said: "Besides, I'm going abroad soon, so I won't be using bicycles anymore!"

"brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Pick up the car!"

The landlord slapped the car key into his hand and then walked away.

Yu Qian: …

"Brother, are we being too harsh?"

"That's nothing." Zhang Yuan weighed the key in his hand: "Believe it or not, he has to thank us."

After selling the threshold, the landlord turned around and said, “Thank you!”

"Look..."

In the evening, Brother Qian set up a copper hot pot in the yard, and the two of them ate mutton and had a delicious meal.

"Two hundred thousand." Brother Qian sipped half a cup of Niu Er.

"That's two hundred thousand."

"An ordinary worker may not be able to come up with the money even after saving for decades."

"As a result, we put on a good show and cut down so many!"

Brother Qian admires Zhang Yuan very much.

From the beginning to the end, he had the landlord under his control, just like Monkey King meeting Buddha. Although he seemed to have great powers, he could not actually fly out of his palm.

"It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning." Zhang Yuan raised his glass modestly.

"Don't be polite. If you have this ability, you can make a fortune by performing crosstalk. It would be a waste of your talent to act." Brother Qian was also very happy and drank a lot.

Why is he happy?
Because I learned another trick.

Brother Qian has antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as crickets and gourds.

These things are set up to be sold at high prices. For the same thing, a capable person can get it for ten thousand, while an incompetent person will be cheated and lose his head even if he spends one million.

He had already made a plan. He planned to bring a few friends together, copy Zhang Yuan's operation of buying a house, and go to Liulichang to confront the people.

"Brother Zhang?"

The two were eating when a figure appeared outside the house and leaned forward.

"Oh, you're here." Zhang Yuan took a look and found that the person coming was the intermediary guy who served as his insider.

"I'll get you the money."

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan handed the 10,000 yuan reward he had prepared in advance to the other party.

"You count." Zhang Yuan raised his chin.

The intermediary stared blankly at the cash in his hand.

He never expected that the other party would be so generous and give him the money without any deduction.

Yes.

They agreed on a reward of 10,000 yuan.

But this is a private agreement, there is no contract.

Besides, ten thousand is really not a small sum these days. He thought the other party would bargain or even refuse to pay.

He deliberately went to ask for money before the house was transferred, thinking that he still had the bargaining chip in hand and confessed to the landlord.

Now the other party is extremely happy and can no longer be bullied by him.

"Take it. If you don't want it, give it back to me..."

“Yes, yes…” The young man’s face was full of joy, and his happiness was beyond words.

"Remember, help me keep an eye on the courtyard houses in the city. They must be in good locations and large in size. As soon as they become available, be sure to notify me first." Zhang Yuan instructed.

"Understand!"

The young man was also very happy.

Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. If you don't look at the Buddha's face, look at the face of the money.

After seeing the young man off, Zhang Yuan returned to his seat, and Brother Qian gave him a thumbs up.

"My man, this is a very authentic thing to do."

"As it should be. It's not easy for people to get paid to do things."

"There aren't many people like you who keep their word and understand their feelings."

Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded, that's it.

He remembered that Xie Na, whom he had met at Shonan TV before, had secretly made a private transaction when buying a house, skipping the intermediary in order to avoid the agency fee.

Moreover, she knew that this matter would affect her public image, and she even hired a lawyer to send a letter to the luxury house agent in advance to threaten her...

The amount of this agency fee is 120 million.

For ordinary people, it is a sky-high price.

But to this couple, it was just a little bit of dirt between their fingernails.

It's a two-faced question whether you're stingy or not. Taking the risk of losing the most important reputation for a star for a little money is really not a big deal.

Zhang Yuan came back to his senses and exchanged for the small courtyard that he was about to get.

"After 20 years, the total price of this house should not be less than 4000 million..."

"By then, the homeowner will probably regret it so much that he will smack himself into a pig's head."

"Of course, there is a price to pay for being a fake foreigner."

He didn't feel like he owed anything to the landlord.

Beep, beep... When they had almost finished eating, his cell phone rang.

"Hello, senior sister."

I picked up the phone and heard Liu Shishi's sweet voice from the other end.

"Junior brother!"

She was so shy before, but now she is very familiar with calling him "Junior Brother" and it is very smooth.

Sure enough, rejection, helplessness, obedience, enjoyment... no one can escape this process.

"I'm going to join the crew to film tomorrow!" Liu Shishi was very excited. This is her first play: "It's my first time going to Suzhou."

"Congratulations."

When she settled down, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This can be regarded as an explanation to Mr. Yuan Kuocheng.

People are still telling stories at Deyuan Society because of this.

"I will also be filming in the Jiangnan area in the next few months. I will be based in Hengdian, which is about a three-hour drive from Suzhou. I'll visit you on set if I have the chance."

"Really!" The little sister was full of excitement and expectation: "Don't lie to me."

"I'm quite busy here, I'll go when I have time."

He couldn't guarantee it.

But Liu Shishi took it seriously and insisted that he make a pinky promise.

The next day, he contacted Shu Chang and asked about the audit.

In fact, he wanted to ease the other party's nerves, telling her not to be anxious and to take it slow.

But unexpectedly, in just a few days, she had already learned from the accountant of Zhao Decai. From knowing nothing at all, she had already gained some understanding of the basics, could understand complicated account books, and started to check the accounts.

As expected of a top student who was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama at the age of 15, the size of her brain is probably twice and a half that of Liu Xixi.

After finishing the work in the capital, I rested for a few days and then rushed to Jinhua, Zhejiang to participate in the opening ceremony of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"... (End of this chapter)
