Chapter 1 Second Day in the Capital

The second day after arriving in the Capital, Su Yehao found himself with four mosquito bites on his arms and legs.

Too many mosquitoes, thanks to the proximity to the lake.

He had someone go out to buy mosquito coils in the middle of the night, but the stores were already closed. As a result, he kept waking up and falling asleep all night long, until he got up in the morning and still had the buzzing sound in his ears.

After getting up in the morning, feeling listless, the first thing he did was ask his secretary, Linda Yun, to buy mosquito coils and a mosquito net.

While constantly dozing off, he still had to take care of business.

He had just called a staff member at the Bureau of Film, Radio, and Television, using the number Su's father had given him, and arranged to visit around ten-thirty to discuss the details of the screening, when Su's father arrived at the courtyard house.

After looking around inside and out, Su's father greeted Nong Qingying, who had just gotten up, then ignored her, smiling as he said to Su Yehao:

"I went drinking with some acquaintances from Hong Kong last night, at the Chang'an Club, near the square. The atmosphere there is really nice… We opened a few bottles of old wine from the sixties, and I still haven't recovered. Otherwise, I would have come to find you last night."

"You really are my own father, going to such a great place without bringing me along to broaden my horizons?"

Su Yehao's tone was a bit annoyed.

Of course, he knew which club his father was talking about. Yesterday evening, when Su Yehao passed by the entrance of the Chang'an Club, he had been curious about what kind of guests were inside.

Su's father didn't care, asking cheerfully, "There were a bunch of adults there, and my relationship with them is so-so. What would be the point of bringing you? Besides, you're not interested in that kind of place, are you? I used to invite you and you always made excuses. How was I supposed to know you wanted to go?"

Su Yehao was just saying it casually.

It wasn't like he didn't know where the door was. He could go in whenever he wanted, and how expensive could it be?

He changed the subject, saying to his father, "I called the number you gave me, but I didn't ask clearly who the other person is. Is the connection you found reliable? Can they help me arrange for the movie to be screened?"

"This… how would I know? I asked someone to inquire for me. It should be fine, right?"

Not really sure, Su's father didn't dare to say anything definitive, and continued, "But I heard that film censorship is very strict in the mainland. Films with fighting, violence, content unsuitable for children, or morally questionable themes can't pass the review, unless the scenes are all cut. You didn't film a softcore movie, did you?"

"…"

Openly sneering, Su Yehao said, "Do I look like that kind of person? I specifically asked someone before filming, and I didn't film anything that shouldn't be filmed. It's just a serious, positive youth film, with the most risqué scene being holding hands."

Hearing this, Su's father immediately lost interest, and said casually, "Oh, this house of yours is really nice. Give me a key, I should be coming over often in the future, and I'll stay here."

"Isn't the Diaoyutai Hotel good enough?"

"It's good, and it's especially impressive to talk about, but sometimes I want to bring friends over to play mahjong or drink tea, and they can't get in."

Hearing his father's words, Su Yehao remembered Chu Jun from Yinhai. Last year, driving such an expensive Bentley, he was still stopped at the entrance and couldn't get in.

Thinking of luxury cars.

Su Yehao remembered something and said to his father, "Buy me two or three nice cars under your company's name, for use in Pengcheng, it'll be more convenient for you too. Business here is gradually picking up, and I'll probably be coming over often. It's inconvenient to always rent cars. Last night, I took a taxi to dinner."

"Yes, I've been meaning to buy them, but I always forget."

Buying cars was a minor matter, not even worth mentioning.

Su's father then talked about business, saying that building the cultural tourism city in Guangzhou should be much easier this time, since he had acquaintances, and it didn't involve urban planning. It was farmland that hadn't yet been included in the development area.

This time, they planned to invest 5 billion RMB, aiming to acquire 5,000 mu (a Chinese unit of measurement) of land. They also planned to invest in a cement factory in Guangzhou, and acquire several basic building materials manufacturers.

Overall, it was definitely a super-large investment.

Even some Fortune 500 companies didn't have such large investment scales for attracting investment, and it was also beneficial to the development of Guangzhou's land market, which could be included in the new city area.

Again, the commodification of real estate had just begun, and everywhere had plenty of land, but a lack of investment.

This kind of good thing, where someone actively came to invest, would be foolish to refuse, and since there had already been a precedent, now they just had to discuss and study it, and complete the procedures.

After listening, Su Yehao only said that there was no need to worry about the funds.

His father was also carefree, and didn't plan to have his son contribute money, saying that he had already discussed it with the bank, and the bank manager was overjoyed. They had dinner together a few days ago, and the manager toasted him twice on the spot, and ended up being carried home…

——————————————

After cleaning up.

He left at ten o'clock and went to the Bureau of Film, Radio, and Television to find the person he had spoken to on the phone.

The other party must have talked to someone about him, and knew something about Su Yehao. They quickly prepared some staff to watch the sample film together.

If there were problems with the film, talking wouldn't do any good. It was better to check the content first.

Director Dou Jiafeng had prepared a Mandarin version of the dubbing beforehand, a relaxed and comfortable start.

The middle-aged person in charge, surnamed Zhao, watched for a few minutes and then whispered to Su Yehao, who was sitting next to him, "If the whole movie continues with this kind of atmosphere, then there shouldn't be any problems."

Of course, Su Yehao knew how strict the mainland's film censorship was. He smiled and replied, "If it was as harmful to teenagers as *Young and Dangerous*, I wouldn't dare to send it over. Young people's values and thoughts aren't fully formed yet, so they're easily influenced. To be honest, I was also stimulated by Hong Kong movies back then, and dreamed of being a big boss every day. Thinking about it now, it's so childish, I'm too embarrassed to face anyone."

The other party looked at Su Yehao and joked:

"If you were to become a gangster, you'd really have the foundation for it. I've watched a lot of Hong Kong movies, so I know a little about your side. Doing business according to the rules, that status is much higher than being in the martial world, isn't it? Of course, it's definitely not as good as the God of Gamblers' skill of rubbing cards. I really don't know what the director was thinking, even special abilities came to mind."

Hearing this, Su Yehao smiled.

He felt that Mr. Zhao's job was great. Others couldn't watch things, but they could. Others' work was boring, but they could use the excuse of work to sit and watch dramas openly.

A TV series, reviewed for a few days, it was simply the kind of work that slackers liked the most.

Of course.

The threshold for this job was also very high, and it wasn't easy for ordinary people to get in.

When filming the movie before, the little girl (Xiao Nizi) also often went to keep an eye on things. Su Yehao had repeatedly told her about the limits of the plot, so after watching the film for more than ten minutes, there were still no major problems with the content.

After this movie was filmed, this was also the first time Su Yehao had watched the whole film. He only thought that Director Dou Jiafeng had some skills, and the Donghuang Rose Middle School was filmed especially beautifully.

As for the content.

It was nothing more than the protagonist, who liked programming, falling in love with the most beautiful girl in the whole school, and even becoming classmates, but he was never liked by her.

Many small stories happened by chance, and the two slowly grew closer, each talking about their ideals.

The female lead wanted to be a painter, and the male lead wanted his tAt (to administer trouble) to be liked by more people, and even pulled investment during his spare time.

Before, there was only tAt, but with the appearance of tvt, the movie name was a bit problematic.

Fortunately, this movie was originally filmed for the mainland market, so not changing it was actually better…
