Chapter 79 - Sign Off (2)
The cheating allegation has been cleared. The movie that Lu Li invested was now fully funded. It has now restarted shooting, and the team has been updated, and a better stylist and videographer has been hired.
The film is about the lush years of young people in a small town. The filming was shot in the director’s hometown, a quiet and peaceful town in Western Province.
Lu Li watched a sample of the movie. The grandmother was selling gardenias, and the stray dogs will rush through the road.
This is the first time that she invested in a project, or a business, so she wants to pay attention and is actually nervous.
Although she doesn’t know what the final result would be, this is the first time that she started used her money to invest and not just spend it everyday.
Although she would often get reports about the progress and is sent photos and videos taken on the set, she still wants to see it with her own eyes.
Western Province is in the southwest of the country, far away from City S, which is close to the sea. To get there, you must first take a five-hour flight, get off the plane and take the high-speed rail, and finally take a car to arrive at the small town.
Lu Li did the calculations. Less than a week would be enough.
Qiao Jiayi was enthusiastic about going there to meet Lin Jiyu, the younger brother of the male lead.
The two started planning their itinerary, and Lu Li only had to tell her husband.
In the evening, after the two of them had dinner and went for a walk, Lu Li took Chi Chenyan’s arm and told him about her plan.
After hearing this, Chi Chenyan slightly frowned: “How long will it take?”
Lu Li bounced happily: “One week is enough.”
Chi Chenyan mumbled and then shook his head.
Lu Li saw her husband’s reaction: “Huh?”
Chi Chenyan: “It’s fine to let them send you updates and progress every day. Why do you have to personally go?”
“Don’t you want to stay with your husband at home?” He squeezed Lu Li’s hand.
He felt that it was too long, and he couldn’t just drive there whenever he wants. More over, the place was relatively remote, not in a big city, and the plane could not go back and forth.
Lu Li: “But I want to go.”
“This is my first investment. Of course I want to see it with my own eyes.”
Lu Li hugged Chi Chenyan’s arm, and said, “Husband, I will go, okay? I have made a plan with Qiao Jiayi, and we will go together next week.”
Chi Chenyan patted her head and said: “I don’t agree.”
If she is going back to Hong Kong City to visit her relatives for a week, of course he will not object, and will personally use a private plane to send her to her parents. But now it’s just for a movie. If it is a movie that will just let her kill time, or go to a remote city, he really thinks it is not necessary for her to go.
Chi Chenyan: “You can let them shoot in City S, and you can go and watch it any time.”
“Or let the crew come to City S to shoot. I will reimburse the funds.”
“It’s not the same!” Lu Li retorted. Different cities have different tastes and scenery. They can’t just shoot at random places.
Lu Li pursed her lips.
She was originally full of joy. She thought that her husband would support her, but she got rejected instead.
And based on his words, she understood that in his eyes, it was just a game for her to pass the time.
There is no need for her to spend extra time and energy.
He doesn’t care about the profit or loss. He only sees this as her passing time while waiting for her husband to finish work.
Although Lu Li was just looking for something to do for herself at first, when she came into contact with it, the meaning of this project had changed.
Chi Chenyan saw Lu Li’s pursed lips.
He was suddenly upset and regretted suggesting to her to make an investment.
Lu Li looked at Chi Chenyan and continued to insist: “I want to go.”
Seeing her resoluteness, Chi Chenyan finally conceded: “Two days. I will let Secretary Zhou assign someone to accompany you.”
“The two days would not be enough to go back and forth!” Lu Li released her hold on Chi Chenyan’s arm.
Chi Chenyan frowned and went to coax her: “Be good.”
Lu Li took a step back, raised her hand and wiped her tears: “When you went to go on a busniess trip for several months, I didn’t say anything. But now you are not letting me go for only a week.”
She was sad not only because of his refusal, but also because he thinks that she is not taking this project seriously. In his mind, this was just him giving her money to play.
For an investment of no more than 10 million yuan, he might not even lift his eyes when it passes him.
The feeling made her uncomfortable.
Chi Chenyan: “It’s not the same.”
“What’s different about it?” Lu Li continued to sniff, “Does my money have lesser value than yours? But this is my dedication at work. The meaning is the same for you and me.”
Chi Chenyan was silent for a while, and then finally grabbed Lu Li’s hand: “Let’s go home first.”
Lu Li knew that he still thinks that she is wayward, and she was so sad for a while.
The two seemed to be in a cold war, and have not spoken at home.
Lu Li argued with her husband for the first time. She did not understand her husband. As soon as she got home, she ran to her room and closed the door between the two rooms.
She hasn’t slept in her room for a long time.
There was a sound of washing in the bathroom.
Lu Li sat on the bed while holding a pillow, and when she heard the sound of shower stopping on the bathroom, she felt that her chest was stuffy.
They were fighting.
The more she felt wronged, the more her eyes turned red.
Lu Li lowered her head and shed a tear.
She wiped away the tears with her sleeves, she didn’t now how to vent her anger in her heart. Finally, she held her mobile phone, turned to the superchat about the Pear Couple that she created.
Since the hotel incident last time, it has been determined that Chi Chenyan adid not cheat, and that the pear couple still has x life, so it was not shocking that the superchat gained a lot of fans.
It was much better than the previous situation where it loses fans everyday.
Lu Li looked at the superchat, and the more she looked at it, the more sad she became.
Don’t eat pears, she won’t let him eat them.
Lu Li pursed her lips, struggled, hesitated for a while, and finally seemed to make a big decision and clicked leave.
