Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

What was originally a problem that was difficult for ordinary people to solve was solved by Lu Yang. Without him having to ask for help, someone would offer to help.

It can be seen that having money does not necessarily mean you can do whatever you want, but it can definitely make it easier for people without money to accomplish things.

When bringing two or three-year-old children in and out of CCTV freely, especially in the studio, one needs to pay attention to those expensive instruments. If one of them is damaged, ordinary people may not be able to afford the compensation even if they spend all their money. This kind of thing happened a few years ago, so the CCTV program crew usually strongly refuses such visitors who bring children to visit and record programs.

Unpleasant.

And it is easy to get into lawsuits.

Children are so naughty. If they really break some valuable equipment, and their parents can't afford the compensation, then the program crew will have to pay for it themselves, right?

of course.

Lu Yang would definitely not do that.

"This must be Assistant Director Lou, right?"

"I have long admired my name."

Lu Yang walked over and glanced at the nameplate on the other person’s chest - Lou Yuan, Yuan means knowledgeable, a good name.

“Thank you, Assistant Director Lou, for your help. My wife and I did want to bring our children to watch your TV station’s program recording, but we were worried that we wouldn’t be able to get a pass. We didn’t expect that you, Assistant Director Lou, would solve our problem.

I, Lu, accept this favor.

Don't worry, my child is very well behaved. Even if he accidentally damages your TV station's equipment, he will definitely compensate you according to the price. I am making it clear that if such a thing really happens, no matter how valuable the damaged equipment is, I will definitely buy 10 identical ones to compensate your TV station for its losses. How do you think?"

As he said this, he reached out to the other person.

Deputy Director Lou was flattered and stretched out his hands at the same time, holding Lu Yang's hands tightly and said: "Is it necessary for you to express your opinion, Mr. Lu? You are really too polite. Ordinary equipment is not worth much money. The most valuable thing in our recording is the camera, but the camera is guarded by a special person to ensure that it will not bump into the little princess. Even if there is a bump, it is the responsibility of the cameraman. How can you blame the little princess?"

It sounds nice.

Lu Yang still frowned: "Director Lou, what you said is not right. My daughter is not a little princess, just an ordinary little girl, and she is not spoiled. If she makes a mistake, she must be punished. If she is not punished, how can she know her mistakes? If she doesn't know her mistakes, how can she avoid making mistakes next time? Director Lou, you are a cultural worker, what do you think?"

Talk nonsense!
Director Lou felt very aggrieved: Well, I flattered the wrong person.

Fortunately, he was very cunning and didn't take it seriously. He continued to flatter Lu Yang and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Lu, what you said makes sense. There is a saying, 'It is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them'. It is probably what you meant, but it is not as profound as what you said."

"It takes a private entrepreneur like you, Mr. Lu, to give me a fresh and refreshing insight with just a few words. I really regret not meeting you earlier. If I could always understand your teachings, I would definitely have achieved more than what I have today."

Although these words were corny, he said them very naturally, with the right expression, and he held Lu Yang's hand and shook it almost non-stop.

Is it wrong?
That's right, he just wants to improve too much!

Lu Yang looked at him admiringly and said, "I don't think so. Director Lou, you are so eloquent and you should have a bright future. Even if you haven't made a name for yourself yet, I believe that in the near future, you will have a place in the directing world."

As the saying goes, everyone lifts up a sedan chair. If you feel good about the other person praising you, then of course you should show some appreciation by praising the other person a few words. It doesn't cost any money anyway.

As for whether he really believed that the other party would become a famous director in the film industry in the future? Hey, who knows. After recording this episode, whether the two sides will have the opportunity to interact again in the future is hard to say.

Assistant Director Lou was already thanking him profusely, his fat face smiling like a chrysanthemum as he said, "Boss Lu, do you really think so highly of me? I...I will definitely perform well and not disappoint you, Boss Lu, and prove that what you said today was right."

Lu Yang just wanted to say: Hey, buddy, is it necessary to take it so seriously?
It was obvious that he was very excited, so he had to swallow his words back.

He calmly pulled his hand back and said, "Then do your best!"

As he said this, he patted the other person's shoulder heavily.

Without waiting for the other party to say anything, Lu Yang walked forward. When Deputy Director Lou calmed down his excitement and wanted to turn around and chase after him, when he got close to Luyang City, Xiaojiu and A'long, who had just arrived with their suitcases, no longer gave him the opportunity.

Lu Yang turned around and said to Assistant Director Lou who was stopped by Xiao Jiu and A Long, "Director Lou, please go back first. I will go and settle my family first and then go to the TV station to record the show."

When he was still in Pengcheng, Lu Yang had already instructed his eldest niece to book a presidential suite for him in the best five-star hotel in Beijing.

Now the housekeeper and the driver are already waiting outside the airport passage in the hotel's luxury car. It's not like everyone is going to squeeze into the shabby Santana that Assistant Director Lou drives, right?

But there is no room for so many people!

Deputy Director Lou was stunned when he heard this, and the middle-aged man looked embarrassed.

But it’s still the same sentence.

He was shrewd enough to cover up the slight embarrassment as soon as it was revealed, and tried hard to force a smile and said, "Mr. Lu, you are too polite. It is my negligence. It is really unfortunate today that the cars of other leaders in the station are all out for business. I only have one car, and it is a broken Santana. It would be better if there were two cars. How about this, Mr. Lu, you don't have to worry about me. Just get in the car sent by the hotel and I will follow you. I will drive behind you. When you are done with your work, we will go back to the station together. What do you think?"

If he really went back in disgrace, then his trip would have been in vain.

It is not certain whether the young billionaire in front of him can still remember his inconspicuous assistant director of the program in the station when he comes to record the program in the afternoon.

By then, you might not even be able to get a word in.

Lu Yang thought about it, nodded and said, "Since Director Lou is willing to follow, how about this? I will treat Director Mou to lunch at noon, and by the way, we can talk about some things to pay attention to on the scene when recording the program. Director Lou, would you be willing to give me some advice?"

This is purely to give face to the other party. Not giving advice is just giving the other party a way out.

Lou Yuan immediately said in surprise: "No, no, no, it should be me who invites you, Mr. Lu. How about this, I will host a lunch party for you and your family, what do you think?"

Even though he knew that a meal in a five-star hotel would probably be very expensive, he still gritted his teeth and refused to let Lu Yang pay, and instead treated the meal himself.

Because if you miss this opportunity, it will be gone. Even if you want to curry favor with others in the future, they may not even look at you again.

Hearing this, Lu Yang looked at him meaningfully for a long time and nodded: "Okay, then let Mr. Lou pay for the lunch." It seems that this meal will not be in vain. The other party is so humble, obviously he wants to ask something of him. However, although he can go to eat the meal, whether he can help depends on what the other party wants.

What if it’s difficult?
Then there is no need for the other party to treat you to this meal.

Lu Yang can terminate the transaction at any time and anywhere. When the time comes, he can just ask A Long and Xiao Jiu to go out and settle the bill.

Even if the other party has worked in vain and failed to get what he wanted from me, he will not dare to blame me. If he really has any ideas, it is purely seeking death. I have plenty of ways to make the other party regret it.

Lu Yang was confident that he could control the other party, so he let him show off his little tricks.

Just a meal.

It’s not a big deal. I just sat on the plane for such a long time and I’m hungry. I’m sure my sister Mingyue and Xin’er will also be hungry when they wake up.

After exiting the airport passage, I saw a long luxury car parked conspicuously in the parking space from a distance.

"Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit!"

"Awesome, the Peninsula Hotel Wangfu has this one, right?"

This five-star hotel in Jincheng that Lu Yangding decided to book was put into use in 1989. It is located in Jinyu Hutong, Wangfujing, 2.6km away from Tiananmen Square, 0.8km away from Wangfujing Street, the busiest and most prosperous commercial street, 1.1km away from Oriental Plaza, 3km away from Jingshan Park, and 1.5km away from Huaxia Art Museum...

As long as you stay at the Peninsula Wangfu Hotel, you can almost walk to any of the above attractions or commercial streets, and it will not take more than ten minutes. Needless to say, it has many advantages. What's more, it is one of the most luxurious and magnificent five-star hotels in Yanjing at this time.

If we have to point out a disadvantage, it is that it is a bit far from the current Capital International Airport, a full 28km away.

Even if there is no traffic jam, the journey will take more than 40 minutes. If there is a traffic jam, it may take several hours to arrive.

When Lu Yang approached the car holding his sleeping daughter, the butler who was waiting in front of the car had already hurried over.

Obviously she recognized Lu Yang and had seen his photo beforehand: "Hello, Mr. Lu, the hotel you booked is the Victoria Suite of our Wangfu Peninsula Hotel. I am your butler. Your special car is already in place. Do you want to leave now?"

As she spoke, the young housekeeper bent down.

V-neck!

Lu Yang retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Then you can arrange for my people to get on the car. There should be enough space, right?"

The Rolls-Royce is an extended version of the Silver Spur II, with a body length approaching 5 meters and 2 meters, but in fact, it is still a standard 5-seater, except that the back row is more spacious. Lu Yang's family of three occupied three seats, and with the housekeeper, there was only one guest seat left. Even if Xiao Xin'er did not have to take a seat, there were only two guest seats left, but that was obviously not enough!
The housekeeper was also a little embarrassed and glanced at the people following Lu Yang.

This boss has quite a lot of followers and family members!
Although overloading is not prohibited in this era, it is a bit cheap to have so many people squeezed together, especially in such a luxurious Rolls-Royce, and it would definitely be uncomfortable.

If guests are made uncomfortable, it is the hotel's dereliction of duty. Since the opening of The Peninsula Wangfu, there has never been a time when guests in the presidential suite were made uncomfortable. They have always held themselves to high standards and high consumption. They cannot just let guests spend money without letting them enjoy the most home-like service.

The housekeeper hesitated for only a moment, then immediately bowed to Lu Yang and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. It was our negligence that we didn't ask you how many people you had in total, so we only sent one car. How about you wait a little longer? I'll contact you now and ask the hotel to send another car. What do you think?"

Ask the Peninsula Hotel in Wangfu, which is 28km away, to transfer another car from the driver team.

forget it!
The day lilies are cold.

Lu Yang shook his head and refused directly: "No, just take as many seats as you can."

After that, he turned around and waved to Yin Mingyue, Yin Mingzhu, and Xu Siqi, the three chattering women, "Come here, you guys get in the car first, and take Xin'er with you. A'long, Xiaojiu, and I will take Mr. Lou's car in the back, and we will meet in the hotel lobby in an hour."

Then he turned to Lou Yuan beside him and said, "Director Lou, do you mind giving me a ride?"

The surprise came too quickly.

The middle-aged man said incoherently: "I don't mind, I don't mind, how could I dare to mind, it's just that my car is not good, Mr. Lu... Isn't it a bit too condescending for you to take my car?"

Just now he was drooling at the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit.

I almost went up and touched it.

Lu Yang laughed and said, "That's good if you don't mind. If you mind, then I can only take a taxi."

While talking and laughing, Lu Yang handed Lu Xin'er in his arms to Yin Mingyue who had just come to his side. Then, without even looking at Yin Mingzhu beside Yin Mingyue, he passed her and said to the secretary, "Take good care of your boss's wife. If she loses a hair, I will fire you. If you arrive at the hotel safely, I will treat you to a big dinner tonight. You can choose lobster or abalone."

Xu Siqi raised her hand and said, "Thank you, boss."

It's a free meal, it would be a waste if you don't eat it.

Yin Mingyue, who had just received her daughter from her husband, opened her mouth and wanted to say something to Lu Yang, but Yin Mingzhu beside her pulled her back and shook her head slightly at her.

Yin Mingyue had no choice but to shut up. She glanced at her sister beside her with complicated eyes, then hugged her sleeping daughter and got into the door of the Rolls-Royce.

Although she really wanted to help her sister, since her sister was unwilling to do so, she couldn't force her. She could only find an opportunity later, or talk to her husband in private.

Someone bullied my sister on TV.

Lu Yang glanced at the silent Yin Mingzhu with some confusion, and then remembered his wife's hesitation before getting in the car: What kind of charades are these two sisters playing?
That's it.

Since I can’t guess it, I won’t guess it.

I will ask Mr. Lou when I get on his car. I think he should know something about the situation. He still needs my help, so he probably won’t dare to lie to me. . .
