Song Li smiled wryly, knowing he was changing the subject. He then raised his head and said, “It is indeed beautiful.”
The spirit group: Handsome! Quickly agree to him! Song Li is a future famous director; this movie will definitely be a big hit when it releases next year!
Shuai Chang: Are you sure? I’ve worked hard for my money, and I haven’t decided what company to start yet.
The spirit group: Start a film investment company; it’s your old profession!
Song Li thought there was no hope for film investment and turned to leave, but Shuai Chang grabbed his sleeve. Song Li turned back, his eyes filled with question.
“Director Song, I have some spare money and am very interested in film investment. I wonder if I would have the honor to assist in the filming of your movie?”
Song Li was taken aback and then overjoyed: “Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely!”
Shuai Chang exchanged contact information with Song Li, and they agreed to discuss the specific investment amount tomorrow.
Shuai Chang was too lazy to stay any longer, just as Mu Chengguang called to ask where he was.
Shuai Chang sighed, “I’m at Mu Baichun’s villa; it’s his birthday today. I didn’t drive; can you come pick me up?”
Mu Chengguang: “… It’s Mu! Ba! Chun! I’m not done with him! Teacher Nan, wait for me for ten minutes; I’ll be there soon.”
After discussing the investment amount with Song Li, Shuai Chang registered Orange Light Film Culture Co., Ltd., and on behalf of the company, invested 20 million in Song Li’s movie project.
As the largest investor in the film, Shuai Chang only had one requirement for Song Li: “I don’t want to see connections; I believe Director Song will definitely choose the truly suitable actors.”
Song Li was overjoyed: “You can rest assured; that is for sure!” Heaven knows how directors fear investors who know nothing yet try to interfere with the film, stuffing in personal favors today and relatives tomorrow. Shuai Chang is truly a breath of fresh air among investors! Song Li excitedly declared, “With your words today, I’ll definitely ensure that the 20 million you invested multiplies several times over!”
Shuai Chang smiled, his eyes filled with appreciation and affirmation for Song Li: “Director Song, I believe in you.”
Since that day when Mu Chengguang picked Shuai Chang up from Mu Baichun’s villa, they had begun a busy period.
Shuai Chang had just awakened in the morning when Mu Chengguang had already driven to the company, and he returned home late at night, ready to fall asleep immediately after washing up.
Shuai Chang felt pity for him, but he knew he couldn’t hold Mu Chengguang back from growing. He still had a long life ahead, needing his current efforts as a foundation.
After a month of consecutive overtime, dark circles appeared under Mu Chengguang’s eyes, and he looked gaunt.
Efforts are fine, but one must also pay attention to their health. Shuai Chang insisted that he take two days off to rest.
Mu Chengguang leaned against Shuai Chang’s arm, drowsily saying, “Today my dad praised me again; this month hasn’t been wasted. When I go to the headquarters next year, he will definitely arrange a good position for me.”
“Don’t change the subject. You will take two days off tomorrow and the day after; it’s settled.” Shuai Chang gently caressed his pale eyelids.
“Have you not looked in the mirror for a month? Your complexion is waxy yellow, lips pale, and eyes dark. If someone didn’t know better, they might think you do drugs.” After saying this, Shuai Chang sighed, “Who would have thought you would become so ugly?” Mu Chengguang, who loves beauty, had allowed himself to get to this state for work.
“What?!” Mu Chengguang suddenly widened his eyes and sat up straight, “Mirror, mirror! Give me the mirror! I am naturally beautiful; how can I possibly get ugly?!”
Shuai Chang handed him the mirror, and Mu Chengguang snatched it urgently, nearly getting scared stiff by the “ghost” he saw in it.
“This, how can this be me?! Ahhh! I don’t want to become an ugly monster. Wuuuu.” Mu Chengguang was too shocked, completely unable to accept how ugly he had become. He covered his face, thinking sadly: Teacher Nan said I became ugly; he must dislike me and wants to divorce me. If he dares to mention divorce, I… I won’t divorce!
Shuai Chang snatched the mirror back from him and put it back in place. “Take two days off tomorrow and the day after; maybe you’ll recover your beauty. What do you think?”
Mu Chengguang pouted and sighed, “Teacher Nan, you decide.” After two seconds, he clung to Shuai Chang’s arm and asked, “Will resting really help me recover my beauty?”
“Of course.” Shuai Chang nodded affirmatively.
“Alright, anyway, the project stage has already been mostly completed; only some finishing work is left, which can be left to others.” Mu Chengguang took out his phone and composed a message to request leave from the HR supervisor at the branch office.
“Good baby, go to sleep.”
Mu Chengguang thought, with my current looks, Teacher Nan still calls me a good baby; it clearly shows true love. He then nestled in Shuai Chang’s arms and fell asleep peacefully.
The film directed by Song Li was a light-hearted mystery comedy, not overly brainless yet filled with humor. Song Li planned to release it on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Speaking of the New Year, Shuai Chang told Mu Chengguang: “I’m going back to Nanyuan Village for the New Year. Are you coming back with me?”
“Sure, sure!” Mu Chengguang exclaimed excitedly. Last year, Nan Yu didn’t take him home, but this year he could follow Teacher Nan to celebrate the New Year, which made him incredibly happy.
The Mu family had no matriarch, so it had always just been four men casually having a reunion dinner, lacking any festive New Year atmosphere.
“Well, you’d better prepare yourself mentally; my family is very poor. I’d be really happy if you could accompany me to stay in a thatched hut with leaks.”
Mu Chengguang hesitated a bit, “How about inviting my parents and sisters to Xuancheng for the New Year? Staying in a drafty house in winter shouldn’t cause a cold, right?”
Shuai Chang chuckled, pinching his cheek, “Just teasing you. I already sent money home, and they’re now living in a new house.”
“Teacher Nan,” Mu Chengguang suddenly hugged him, “Whenever I think of the cold, drafty house you lived in during winter, I feel bad. You should have met me earlier.”
Shuai Chang replied, “When I was in elementary school, you had just been born. We met at the right time with the right person; whether early or late, we would surely have missed each other.”
“By the way, how is Mu Baichun doing lately? He hasn’t troubled you, has he?” The WeChat app was on Mu Chengguang’s phone, and Shuai Chang didn’t know what they had been discussing.
“That guy?” Mu Chengguang revealed a mischievous smile, “Mu Baichun got entangled with a long-haired, effeminate guy. He’s so preoccupied with his own matters that he has no time to cause me trouble.”
