Chapter 122 Dilraba's Dream

Dilraba had a dream.

In her dream, she seemed to be floating on water, not in a narrow, oppressive refrigerated train car, but in a boundless expanse of water.

At first, the water surface was smooth as a mirror, without any ripples.

She just floated there quietly.

But suddenly, at some point, the once calm lake collapsed, transforming into a turbulent sea. Waves surged toward her relentlessly at an incredibly fast pace.

"Hmm..."

'

In her dream, Reba frowned, feeling as if each wave crashing against her carried an almost brutal force, pushing her deeper into the ocean.

It took a long time for the water to return to calm.

Clap clap clap clap!

Mao Xiaotong seemed to want to vent all the embarrassment and anger she had just accumulated, and she almost went all out, slapping Su Liu's chest hard with her slender palm.

"Are you trying to kill me?!" Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes still held a hint of spring fever, but her gaze was icy as she glared at him, gritting her teeth and whispering, "If you do this again, I'll..."

'

Su Liu looked like a fool and even blinked deliberately, "What do you mean?"

"I'll...I'll beat you to death!" Mao Xiaotong spat angrily. Instead of resting in Su Liu's arms as usual, she struggled to her feet, straightened her disheveled clothes, and kicked him. "Get up!"

"what?"

"You want to watch me change Dilraba's clothes too?"

"I..." Su Liu wanted to say, "It's not like I haven't seen it before." But an alarm bell rang in her mind, so she swallowed it back.

"What?"

"It's nothing."

Su Liu put on her clothes and went to the entrance hall.

There was a rustling sound coming from inside the room. Mao Xiaotong patiently helped Reba take off her clothes that smelled of alcohol, changed her into a nightgown, and then wiped her face with a damp towel.

A moment later, she came to Su Liu's side, glared at him, and said, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go."

"Sister Xiaotong, Reba, she..."

"7

"You want to stay here?"

"No, no! How could that be?"

With a "click," the two opened the door and left Dilraba's room.

The next day, Mao Xiaotong had to go on a business trip and left the hotel before dawn. Su Liu, on the other hand, took Dilraba and got into the nanny van back to the company.

Dilraba wore a refreshing high ponytail today, and she's back to her energetic self.

"Teacher Su, let me tell you, I had an incredibly vivid dream last night." She kept talking about it the whole way. "I dreamt I was in the sea, and the waves were coming in one after another, and it felt like they were constantly pushing me in."

Su Liu's expression stiffened slightly for a moment, then immediately returned to normal.

Reba tilted her head, still recalling the details of her dream, "And strangely enough, the water was warm, and it hurt all over my body, but I just couldn't wake up."

Su Liu coughed twice without making a sound, his gaze drifting to the window. "Who told you to drink so much yesterday?"

"Hehe." Reba chuckled twice, resting her chin lightly on Su Liu's shoulder, her voice soft and sweet, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, "I won't do it again."

Fusu Films is very busy right now, with post-production editing, publicity and pre-launch activities, and the launch of several new projects. Su Liu told Dilraba to go play by herself, while he pushed open the door to the small conference room without stopping for a moment.

Inside the meeting room, Chen Si was talking to a middle-aged man. Seeing Su Liu enter, she immediately stood up and introduced him in a light tone, "Director Su, our CEO Su is back."

The man sitting opposite me wore black-rimmed glasses, had a thin and well-defined face, and sported a neat short business hairstyle, looking very upright.

He stood up quickly, extended his hand, and spoke in a cheerful, overly familiar tone, "Oh, Mr. Su, it's great to see you."

Chen Si then gestured to the visitor, saying, "This Director Su Xiao is the director of the TV Drama Center at Tomato TV, and also the general manager of Shangshi Pictures."

"Hello, hello." Su Liu shook hands with him and casually pulled out a chair to sit down.

"Director Su is representing Shangshi Pictures and came here specifically to discuss cooperation on several upcoming projects with us."

"Oh, really? Shang Shi is also interested in 'Me Before You' and 'Ike'?"

Su Liu was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, a project manager or someone like that would be enough for this kind of thing, so why did the general manager come in person?

"Of course," Su Xiao said, sitting back down in her seat, her voice cheerful and generous. "Good projects are always in high demand and low supply. I heard that your company initially wanted to collaborate with Shangshi on 'Unnatural Death,' but unfortunately, we missed the opportunity due to unforeseen circumstances."

Therefore, for the upcoming new projects, we naturally need to catch up quickly; we can't afford to be slow any longer.

Chen Si smiled warmly and said, "We have all witnessed Shangshi's strength. Of course, we welcome another friend."

The three immediately began exchanging pleasantries in the conference room. Their business pleasantries were delivered with great finesse, acknowledging each other's professional abilities without being overly obsequious, and a constant stream of subtle mutual flattery ensued.

As she spoke, Su Xiao's smile faded slightly, and her tone carried a just-right hesitation: "Actually, besides the project cooperation, there is another personal matter I would like to discuss with you two."

Chen Si and Su Liu exchanged a glance and asked, "What is it?"

Su Xiao straightened her posture, placed her hands on the table, and slowly said, "To be honest, this year is probably my last year at Shangshi. I'm preparing to leave the system and start a new company."

"Why is that?" Chen Si asked. In her memory, Su Xiao had worked at Tomato TV for many years and was also the head of Shangshi Pictures. Many people were eyeing such a position and couldn't hold on to it. Yet he wanted to retire at the height of his career.

Su Xiao chuckled self-deprecatingly, "There are too many rules and regulations; I want to do something new."

But perhaps that's not the biggest problem, Su Liu thought. Shangshi is a state-owned enterprise backed by SMG. Although it is a large and powerful company, it may not be a good thing for some core talents.

Stock options, a common incentive for core talent in most companies, are virtually nonexistent at Shangshi. No matter how well you perform, you're just keeping the company in check, and your personal value is rarely realized directly.

"So Director Su is planning to start her own business to realize her grand ambitions." Chen Si said in a relaxed tone, with just the right amount of surprise on her face, breaking the heavy atmosphere with a friendly manner.

"What kind of grand ambition is this? It's far inferior to your Revival Films."

Chen Si quickly and modestly declined a couple of times, then asked, "So, Director Su came to see us because she wanted to...?" She left her question unanswered, giving the other party enough space.

"I'd like to establish a deep strategic partnership with Fusun Pictures. Let's work together to expand our business and improve our content. What do you two think?"

As she said this, Su Xiao's gaze passed over Chen Si and landed directly on Su Liu.
