Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 82 I Want to Buy the Script

During the following dinner, Xia Yuan was undoubtedly the one who was supported at the center.

Everyone took turns pouring wine for Xia Yuan and toasting him in various ways.

Then there were all kinds of inquiries about each other's well-being. Everyone was talking about things that happened in school and the past. Of course, Xia Yuan was specially brought up this time.

Among these people, the one who has changed the most is Huang Jingyuan.

Huang Jingyuan was unusually enthusiastic today. He even helped to block the wine and drank for anyone who came up to toast him.

Throughout the whole process, various topics revolved around Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan instinctively felt something was wrong, but he didn't say anything on the spot.

After all, as the old saying goes, if someone is too nice to you for no reason, the person is most likely a traitor or a thief.

In the past, he had the impression that Huang Jingyuan was the kind of person who wouldn't release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

You would say he had no ulterior motive, but simply wanted to mend his relationship with Xia Yuan by being attentive and caring about him in various ways.

He wouldn't believe it no matter what I said.

Can Huang Jingyuan mend his ways?

really?I do not believe.

With this doubt in mind, Xia Yuan became more alert.

Of course, no matter what, he was destined not to stay here for long.

After all, in his opinion, they didn't have much friendship to begin with, so it's better to just leave it at that. He had no interest in mixing in any circle or maintaining any so-called connections.

None of these are as practical as helping my senior earn a few more dollars.

Over the years, apart from his parents, his senior was the only one who treated him so sincerely.

As for Huang Jingyuan, let's not even mention him. We probably won't have any contact in the future.

But since he has changed to some extent, Xia Yuan's attitude will naturally be better.

Soon, Xia Yuan drank a few glasses of wine, and after sitting for more than ten minutes, he found an excuse to leave.

Even though everyone tried their best to keep Xia Yuan, no one was able to keep him.

But just as he was about to walk out of the restaurant, someone followed him.

It was Huang Jingyuan.

Xia Yuan knew what was going on.

Sure enough, there was something waiting for him.

But he remained calm and asked first: "What's the matter? Why don't you stay inside with them and come over to see me off?"

"Xia Yuan, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Huang Jingyuan said after a moment of silence.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Xia Yuan said.

Considering Huang Jingyuan's attitude tonight, he could give him a chance to explain.

But it depends on what the matter is.

"First of all, I know I owe you an apology. I'm sorry."

Huang Jingyuan first sincerely apologized to Xia Yuan and even bowed.

Xia Yuan nodded and remained silent.

It seems that the beatings from society can indeed teach people better lessons than those from school.

I dare not say more, but at least it can make Huang Jingyuan bend his back.

Even though Xia Yuan didn't know what Huang Jingyuan had been going through during this period, he knew that his days would definitely not be easy.

With the scale of a film like "Tai Xuan", it flopped so badly in the end and all the money was lost. And Huang Jingyuan encountered these things just after he started working.

I also heard that the main reason why the movie failed was because of Huang Jingyuan. With all these factors added up, it's hard to believe that he can have an easy life.

"I just hope you won't dwell on the past anymore. After all, it was all my fault, but the past is the past. As human beings, the most important thing for us is always to look forward. And as the saying goes, more friends mean more paths. We are all in this circle in the future, and we can always help each other more," said Huang Jingyuan.

But just when he wanted to continue, Xia Yuan raised his hand to interrupt him: "Hey, stop it, if you don't get to the point, I'm leaving!"

"Then I'll be frank. I want to buy a script from you." Huang Jingyuan took a deep breath and said.

"Buy a script?" Even Xia Yuan was stunned by these words.

"That's right." Huang Jingyuan nodded: "Of course I won't let you suffer a loss. As for the price, as long as it's not too outrageous, I will do my best to give you the highest price."

He looked at Xia Yuan, with some pleading in his eyes: "Please, I really have reached a point where I have no way out. If I don't seek change and make some progress, I will really leave this industry. We all study this major, and you should understand what it means for a student of the directing department to say goodbye to the director's seat, right? I just graduated, Brother Yuan!"

"Ugh"

Xia Yuan sighed: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I don't actually have a script in my hand."

Xia Yuan was of course lying.

And the reason is very simple.

If someone else did this in front of him, he would be more or less willing to believe it.

But Huang Jingyuan? Never mind.

Although he didn't know much about human nature, he claimed that they were classmates for five years in college and he knew Huang Jingyuan's character very well.

He was still reluctant to believe Huang Jingyuan.

And in the final analysis, in Xia Yuan's mind, from the moment he handed his script to his senior, he thought that it was already linked to the company.

How the senior treated him was obvious to everyone, right?

He kept the good script for his senior sister, made it into a movie, and made more money for the company. Isn't that good? Why did he sell it to Huang Jingyuan at a discount?
Should I use it to give back to my senior, or to feed an ungrateful person, even one that seems to have turned back?
How do I choose? Is there any need to explain?
So, when Xia Yuan left, Huang Jingyuan's eyes were still filled with reluctance.

Naturally, his letters were bombarded with messages, but Xia Yuan ignored them all and simply set the mode to do not disturb.

There is no need to delete the messages. After all, Huang Jingyuan's attitude tonight was pretty good. Besides, deleting and then adding again is not as effective as a do not disturb option.

Until Xia Yuan walked some distance away and was about to take a taxi.

Beep--

A trumpet sounded.

Xia Yuan was stunned and turned around to look.

I saw a black and purple Rolls-Royce Cullinan parked on the side of the road.

The luxurious body and the extravagant car cover look quite impressive even at night.

The car window was open, and a beautiful figure inside was looking at him, smiling at him: "What are you standing there for? Boss, we're here for the shuttle service, get in the car!"

Isn’t it the senior sister?
Xia Yuan got in the car and was silent for a moment before he asked, "Boss, why are you here?"

"Private time, call senior."

"Okay, why are you here, Senior?"

"Aren't you afraid that you'll get drunk and can't find your way home?" Tang Ying replied while driving: "Humph!"

Naturally, she was too embarrassed to say it. She didn't know why, but she felt a little absent-minded when she thought about Xia Yuan going out drinking late at night.

I can't do anything well, and I will think about this problem unconsciously.

Then I thought, there should be many female classmates at the class reunion.
Then she couldn't help but go downstairs and drive over.

Shit! That's not right!

What the hell is she talking about? Worried about Xia Yuan? Bullshit!
She was just worried that the company's pillar got drunk and got beaten to death outside, there was no other reason.

Well, yes, that's it.
