Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 422 Fang Lan's New Script
After all, cakes are usually used at night, while everyone is filming during the day.

"I've sent the address and phone number to your phone." Fang Lan said. She seemed to sense Lin Chen's hesitation, "Are you listening? Do you have any plans?"

"I'm just asking about the time. What time will it be used?" Lin Chen explained. Although he had experienced birthdays in the crew, this was his first time personally participating in it, so he was not particularly clear about the time and process.

"It's for the evening! But there's a temporary notice here, I don't know why..." Before Fang Lan finished her words, a busy voice came from the other end of the phone. Lin Chen knew that she must be busy again, so he hung up the phone and prepared to pick up the cake as she requested.

At noon, this place will be closed and no one will be allowed to enter or leave, so we have to get our things back quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome. After hearing Fang Lan's explanation, Lin Chen understood the general situation.

Although he didn't know exactly what happened, he knew that getting the cake was much more important than anything else he had on hand. He responded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go out right away."

Fang Lan had already noticed something unusual in Lin Chen's tone on the other end of the phone. She didn't want to add extra pressure to Lin Chen, but before hanging up, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you really okay? I feel like you have something to do. If you're delayed because of this, I can ask Xiao Deng to pick it up."

At this time, Lin Chen had already walked out of the room and came to the corridor. "It's really okay," he said firmly. This decision was made after careful consideration.

He came to the parking lot. The modified Tesla had been given to An Ran. Lin Chen changed to a new car, Hongqi E-HS9. He had a special feeling for this brand, perhaps a complex that was hard to give up, which made him return to the embrace of this brand when choosing a new car.

Before the new car was modified, Lin Chen drove it to the cake shop address provided by Fang Lan. The process of picking up the cake went smoothly. Fang Lan had already made an appointment in advance, and because of the expedited notice, the cake was ready to be picked up.

Sitting in the car, Lin Chen's thoughts drifted away. The topic of birthdays that the clerk inadvertently brought up made him suddenly realize who in the crew had a birthday? During this period, his life was relatively dull. In addition to contacting Xia Tong and the regular staff in the crew, the other actors were from different scripts and roles.

The scripts for White Dragon Horse and Mermaid have been filmed, and a new story is being filmed now. Lin Chen found that since joining the crew, he has become a little gossipy and started to pay attention to these trivial and insignificant things.

When the car drove to the gate of the Qin Palace, he saw the staff busy preparing. Tourists were also discussing the upcoming restrictions on entry and exit. Lin Chen was already quite familiar with a staff member here, so he asked when he entered: "Why are there sudden restrictions on entry and exit?"

The staff member also looked confused and shook his head and said, "I don't know either. We all follow the arrangements of our superiors."

When crew assistant Xiao Deng saw Lin Chen, he hurried over, took the cake and said, "I have to put this in the refrigerator quickly. Sister Lan said that this cake uses special ingredients and needs to be kept fresh, otherwise it will go bad easily."

Lin Chen handed him the cake and asked casually, "Who's having a birthday?"

Xiao Deng then realized, "Oh, it's clear. Look, the fans have gathered around, holding signs saying Happy Birthday."

Lin Chen looked in the direction Xiao Deng pointed, and indeed saw a group of fans gathered there. He shook his head helplessly: "Didn't anyone tell them that this place would be closed at noon? It's not a good idea for them to wait like this."

Xiao Deng said nonchalantly, "It's okay. They brought their own food and drinks. When they can go in and out, they will leave naturally."

No one seemed to take it to heart, and no one was particularly curious. It was not until the evening when the crew finished filming and prepared to go out for dinner to celebrate Ming's birthday that the topic was brought up again. At this time, the restrictions on the filming base had been lifted.

On the way to the hotel, Fang Lan sat next to Lin Chen, and Xiao Deng drove Lin Chen's car. Xiao Deng praised Lin Chen's new car: "Brother, your car is really good."

Lin Chen just smiled faintly and responded with a "hmm". Xiao Deng seemed to be very excited about the driving experience and became more talkative. He sighed: "Art really comes from life. I didn't expect that a shooting incident would actually happen here."

Lin Chen's heart moved when he heard this, and he finally understood the reason for the blockade during the day. It turned out that there were some unexpected situations, but they were not aware of them before. Now it is no longer meaningful to talk about it.

After arriving at the hotel, Lin Chen and his team got out of the car first and went upstairs with other staff members. Xiao Deng went to park the car. Everyone crowded into the hotel. The air conditioning in the hotel was turned on very high, and people felt a chill as soon as they entered the door.

Fang Lan couldn't help but shiver and complained, "The air conditioner is turned on too high. It's so cold." Seeing this, Lin Chen held her in his arms, hoping to give her some warmth.

Today is Mingqing's birthday. As soon as the crew finished work, everyone sent him blessings. Mingqing was also surrounded by everyone and walked into the box. Celebrating birthdays in this big family is very different from previous experiences. This time he celebrated with the crew members.

After the food and drinks were served, Lin Chen regretted participating in the party. As an investor, he rarely mixed with the crew. However, because of his special status, he clearly picked up the wine glass and came directly to him.

"Boss Lin," Mingqing called out respectfully. The people in the crew addressed Lin Chen in different ways. Some called him Boss Lin, some called him Boss Lin, and some called him Brother Lin. Mingqing continued, "Thank you for your investment and support, Boss Lin. It is because of your investment, the script, and the director's direction that we can get together and give me this opportunity. I am very grateful to you. I will drink first to show my respect."

Ming is a young actor of the new generation. He is young, promising, motivated, and has outstanding acting skills. As a top-tier newcomer of this generation, Lin Chen admires him very much. He raised his glass and said to Ming, "If you want to thank someone, thank yourself for your hard work. But I still want to wish you a happy birthday!"

After finishing this cup, Lin Chen started something that he regretted. The other actors and staff members in the crew followed Ming's example and took turns to toast. After Ming went back, people stood up one after another and walked over with glasses in hand.

Lin Chen looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Are you sure you are toasting me? I'm beginning to suspect that you are trying to get me drunk on purpose." Fang Lan also echoed from the side: "If you have wine, just drink it yourself. We are all family. There is no need to be so polite." She originally wanted Lin Chen to drink less.

However, Deji unexpectedly stood in the line of toasts in this matter. "It's a rare opportunity, so we should drink freely on the birthday. We still have to work tomorrow, so our CEO Lin can have a good rest." After saying this, he also raised his glass and asked loudly to others, "Don't you agree?"

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison. "That's right!" Fang Lan suddenly lost her temper and turned her eyes to Lin Chen. Lin Chen smiled indifferently and said to Fang Lan: "It's okay, don't worry, I'm happy." He looked around and said: "You guys! Who is the birthday boy?" After that, he continued to accept the toast.

You know, Lin Chen doesn't drink much on weekdays. Today, he drank to his heart's content because he was "happy". It was also because Fang Lan's script had been very smooth from writing to filming, so Lin Chen was happy. When he came out of the hotel, Lin Chen felt that he might be a little drunk, and his legs were a little numb. A group of people stood at the door waiting for Xiao Deng to drive over. Fang Lan asked Lin Chen with concern: "Are you okay?"

Deji came over and teased, "You care so much!" Fang Lan turned around and said, "It's only natural for me to care about you! If you were drunk, I would care about you too."

"Hey, you're right. I really don't want to drink too much today, so if I need anything tonight, I might really have to find you!" Deji said half-jokingly. Fang Lan pushed him aside.

The other people in the crew were waiting here. Some of them had already taken a taxi or could walk back directly. They came to say goodbye to Lin Chen. Lin Chen also responded politely: "Be careful on the road."

Mingqing and Xia Tong stood there talking, looking very happy. Soon Xiao Deng drove over. Lin Chen came to the car accompanied by Fang Lan. Everyone said goodbye to Lin Chen: "Goodbye, Boss Lin!" "See you tomorrow, Boss Lin."

This time when Lin Chen went out for dinner, he felt that it was not like he was celebrating Ming's birthday, but rather a dinner party centered on him. Deji got into the car with them and sat in the passenger seat. He changed his previous teasing image and turned around to look at Lin Chen: "It seems that he really drank enough."

"It's all because of what you said!" Fang Lan said in a somewhat reproachful tone. After hearing this, Deji laughed and said, "Everyone is happy! Lin Chen has always been the one that everyone cares about. It's so hard to get such an opportunity, how can we not take advantage of it?"

Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, staring ahead, silent, hoping to get home as soon as possible. At this moment, his cell phone rang. It was Fang Weihai calling, but he did not answer it immediately, knowing that he had drunk a lot of wine tonight. Moreover, he had already anticipated the reason for Fang Weihai's call, after all, he had received a text message warning before. When the phone rang again, Lin Chen thought it would be better to answer it. Fang Lan happened to reach out to take the phone and asked softly, "Shall I answer it?" Lin Chen tilted his head slightly and nodded his chin to indicate his agreement.

The call was connected, and Fang Weihai's voice came through clearly: "I chose this time to call, thinking that you should be free and I won't disturb you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Why is Chief Fang so polite? I am still a little uncomfortable with this. May I ask what instructions you have?"

Fang Weihai laughed heartily, "I don't deserve the instructions. It's about the phone call I gave you last night. First, I want to thank you, and second, I want to express my apology." Lin Chen said sincerely, "That's my job. You don't need to be so polite, sir."

He sincerely felt that this was just part of the after-sales service, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, Fang Weihai seemed a little hesitant on the other end of the phone, as if there was something else he was unable to talk about.

Although Fang Lan was very close, she couldn't hear the content of the call clearly. She only knew that the call came from an important person. She became even more curious about Lin Chen's affairs, but this curiosity only flashed by, and then she focused on the information on the phone again.

Lin Chen straightened up and asked solemnly, "Commander Fang, do you have a new mission or something else to tell me? We have been working together for a long time, please feel free to tell me what to do."

Fang Weihai finally spoke: "It's actually a small matter. Several tanks that came back from the last mission were damaged. I would like to ask you to help repair them."

Lin Chen smiled when he heard this, "So that's what it is. Don't worry, it's easy for me."

Fang Weihai also smiled and said, "It's indeed a small matter, but I'm afraid you'll find it troublesome. After all, you're a big boss now."

The two chatted for a few more sentences and then Lin Chen ended the call.

Although the next job has been decided, the specific time has not yet been determined and it depends on his personal situation.

After arriving home, Lin Chen was a little tipsy, but he did not lose his composure. He tried his best to stay sober in front of Fang Lan and Deji and to speak as little as possible to avoid making a fool of himself. Fortunately, he did it.

Deji and Fang Lan talked about Lin Chen. "Your boss Lin is really special. He becomes quieter after drinking." Fang Lan glanced at Lin Chen sitting on the sofa and felt the same way. Although they had known each other for a long time, it was the first time she saw Lin Chen in such a state. He was indeed different from others as Deji said.

In the dead of night, Lin Chen was awakened by thirst. He didn't know what time it was, but he felt dry mouth and tongue. He turned on the bedside lamp and got up to find some water to drink.

As soon as he left the bedroom, he saw the study was brightly lit, accompanied by the sound of keyboard tapping. He knew that it was Fang Lan using her tea-axis keyboard, the sound was not loud, but it was very recognizable.

Lin Chen came to the door of the study room with a cup of water. Fang Lan had stopped knocking and turned around to see him. "You're awake. I was wondering whether to make some noise to avoid scaring you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I heard it when I was getting water."

As he spoke, he walked into the study, stood behind Fang Lan, and noticed the document on the computer screen.

"New script?" Lin Chen asked. Fang Lan seemed to have expected his interest and explained, "Yes, a new script."

Lin Chen frowned, "Are you changing the script again?"

Fang Lan answered simply, "It's newly written." Hearing this, Lin Chen sighed, put the water cup on the table, and reached out to help Fang Lan pinch her face. "My great screenwriter, Misfang, you don't have to work so hard."

Fang Lan smiled and said:
