Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 178 It's still the flowers you young people play with
"Oh, I told the director that I wanted to take it away as a souvenir, and he agreed." Li Yitong said with an "innocent" expression.

Meng Bai said helplessly: "If you want to take it as a souvenir, why don't you just put it in the box? Why are you still wearing it?"

"Isn't it pretty?" Li Yitong blinked: "I see you like it very much. I peeked at it many times along the way."

"What do you mean by peeking? I was admiring her openly... Bah, is that the question I was talking about?" Meng Bai was angry: "Do you know how many people looked at me with contempt when I came upstairs from the parking lot just now?"

Unlike other youth films, "The Best of Us" takes a realistic style. It is impossible for the "students" to wear strange clothes. They all wear school uniforms obediently in school.

Although "Luo Zhi" played by Li Yitong is a senior in high school, she is no exception.

So when she was on the set, she was wearing the classic "blue and white livery".

Not to mention, although he doesn’t look as harmonious with high school students as Tan Songyun, Boss Li also has his own style when wearing a school uniform.

At least Meng Bai likes it very much. When it comes to some special interactions, this "skin" at least provides a double bonus to attack speed and attack.

But wearing it outside is another matter.

Especially since this scene took place in a hotel, passers-by and hotel staff saw a man and a girl in school uniform going upstairs together, and Meng Bai immediately became a "scumbag" who tricked the "little girl" into booking a room.

If he didn't look so trustworthy, and the "girl" next to him wasn't talking and laughing the whole time, someone would have probably called the police by now.

"Hurry up and change." Meng Bai pushed Li Yitong: "Otherwise you will regret it later."

"Tsk, you're going to regret it."

Seeing the girl's "provocative" look, Meng Bai spread his hands and said, "Okay, then don't blame me for being ruthless later."

Li Yitong hesitated for a moment. She knew Meng Bai and knew that he must have some "bad idea".

But the words had already been said, and it would be embarrassing to give in now, so she hardened her heart and said through gritted teeth, "Let's go, who's afraid of who?"

After saying that, she put on her mask, sunglasses and hat, opened the door and walked out.

After walking a few steps, Li Yitong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that there were not many people in the corridor.

She originally intended to "provoke" Meng Bai, but the current situation happened.

Suddenly I felt that we were so childish.

But then again, when you're with someone you like, isn't it just about doing childish things together?

Thinking of this, she suddenly became happy again, turned around and reached out to hold Meng Bai beside her.

"What are you doing?" Meng Bai asked vigilantly.

"Nothing." Li Yitong smiled brightly under the mask and sunglasses, "Don't you dare?"

"Haha, it's so funny, young man, you are courting death."

We arrived at the elevator entrance chatting and laughing, and as the elevator was about to come up, an auntie who was in charge of cleaning the hotel suddenly came over pushing a linen cart.

Looking at this "strange" couple standing at the elevator entrance, the aunt was obviously stunned.

Li Yitong didn't expect someone to come suddenly and was also stunned.

Before she could react, Meng Bai beside her suddenly threw his hand and said angrily, "Look at you, you are so naughty at such a young age. You came to the hotel without saying hello. Do you know how worried your sister and I are about you?"

After speaking sternly and righteously, he turned to the cleaning lady beside him and said, "Sorry to bother you."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay..."

The cleaning lady obviously believed Meng Bai's words. She waved her hand, looked at the "girl" who was covered tightly beside her, shook her head and sighed: "Alas, the young people nowadays..."

Li Yitong subconsciously opened her mouth to explain: "No, I..."

"You still want to talk back!" Meng Bai interrupted him immediately.

What the hell! Li Yitong glanced at Meng Bai angrily, her eyes seemed to penetrate the sunglasses and hit the other person's face.

Seeing this guy looking at her with a teasing look, Li Yitong became furious.

Okay, okay, let's do this, right? I'm "fully armed" and my face is not exposed. Let's see who can outlast the other.

Thinking of this, she suddenly changed to a sad tone and said, "Brother-in-law, you clearly didn't say that when we were in bed last night."

"?!"

At this moment, the cleaning lady's strange gaze instantly returned to Meng Bai, as if she saw a "scum".

Just as Li Yitong understood him, Meng Bai knew this girl very well and had long anticipated her "counterattack".

It’s just a comparison of size, come on!

"I told you, I will not divorce your sister. Even if you drug me, you can't get my heart."

"But didn't you say last night that you wanted me and my sister to accompany you?"

"That's because I was on the phone with your sister, and I deliberately led you to talk so that she could see her sister's true face."

"Huh, as expected, I knew my sister would like to hear it, so I shouted loudly on purpose."

"..."

The cleaning lady next to her felt that her CPU was not enough when faced with the sudden "ethical drama". This melon was not just bursting, it was shattered into powder!
Fortunately, the elevator behind them finally arrived. The "brother-in-law and sister-in-law" tacitly stopped their "quarrel" and entered the elevator together.

However, when the elevator door was closing, a man and a woman in the elevator suddenly laughed, and then held hands.

After standing there for a long time, the cleaning lady sighed and said, "These are still the things young people play with..."

……

It was not until she got into the car in the parking lot that Li Yitong finally stopped smiling.

"Sure, Boss Li." Meng Bai said, "You're very responsive."

"It's mutual, Mr. Meng." Li Yitong took off her sunglasses and said with a smile.

The two of them had known each other for a long time and were familiar with each other's personality. Although they had seen each other less frequently in the past two years, their tacit understanding was still there.

"By the way, you said on the set before that the company will have new arrangements in a while. What does that mean?" Li Yitong asked.

"Oh, didn't I tell you before that the agency contract signed with Arclight is temporary?" Meng Bai introduced: "The cooperating agency has already made preparations, and your contracts will be transferred to them later. At that time, a professional agent and team will be arranged for you."

"But I haven't finished my advanced course yet. Will I be required to film a scene or something?"

"It's okay. I've told them that unless it's a guest appearance like this one that doesn't take up too much time, we'll have to wait until you graduate." Meng Bai said, "But they may arrange an assistant for you first. At least you don't have to book your own flight tickets or move your luggage when you go out, which is safer."

"Assistant..." Li Yitong thought for a moment, "How about you return Huahua to me?"

Meng Bai shook his head: "Huahua is definitely not an option. This girl knows too many of my secrets, and she can't keep them from you, my former boss. If I go to you, I can only silence her."

Li Yitong squinted her eyes and looked over: "Secret? Could it be that she knows that you are out there with some other girl?"

Meng Bai smiled and said, "You can just ask her directly."

"Hmph, this girl is now turning her elbow outward and won't tell me anything about your affairs." Li Yitong said angrily.

Meng Bai was speechless. It turned out that you really went to ask about it.

Fortunately, Huahua is still reliable, so I will give her a bonus later.

On the way to the airport, the two found a small restaurant to have a meal. Of course, after experiencing the "elevator entrance incident", Li Yitong finally took off that eye-catching school uniform jacket.

"It doesn't matter if you come out." Meng Bai said nonchalantly, "I've already thought of my new persona. I'll say that I'm a 40-year-old single father raising my daughter alone."

"Hey - you pervert!" Li Yitong said with a look of disgust on her face.

Meng Bai shrugged and leaned close to her ear and said, "Next time, you can wear it for myself to see."

"Humph, I won't satisfy your perverted hobby!"

Li Yitong said "seriously".

Well, write it down, this guy likes this kind of thing.

After dinner, I sent Li Yitong to the airport and told her to report safety when she returned. Then the girl walked into the airport with a reluctant look in her eyes, looking back every few steps.

After seeing Li Yitong off, Meng Bai resumed his normal work.

On the surface, he spends most of his time on the set of "Forensic Qin Ming", and occasionally visits "The Best of Us".

In the background, he was looking at what Chen Jing had learned about Leshi.com's financial situation through some connections, and at the same time, he was discussing with Qin Lan remotely how to find a "buyer" for the Leshi Pictures shares in his hands.

A week passed like this, and there was no news from Qin Lan, but calls from other people came in instead.

"Hello, Producer Meng, I'm Liu Haoran."

A respectful voice came from the phone.

"Ah, Xiao Liu." Meng Bai asked doubtfully, "What's the matter? Is there any problem with the crew?"

"No, no, everything is going well with the crew." Liu Haoran said quickly, "I just want to talk to you about something, so I'm disturbing you."

Hearing that there was no accident with the crew, Meng Bai felt relieved: "What do you want to talk to me about? If it's not urgent, I can go there tomorrow."

"Well, I thought it would be better to ask you first." Liu Haoran said, "I remember when you came here before, you mentioned that there was a story about a young detective in Arclight Films' subsequent projects."

"Yes." Meng Bai said frankly: "If you follow Arc Light, you should know the 'Green Ivy Series', right? This is a follow-up to the same series. But this project is quite late, if you are interested, we can talk about it after the project is established."

"I'm not interested. No, I'm interested..." Liu Haoran was silent for a few seconds, then organized his words and said, "It's like this. I don't know if Director Chen Sicheng and Producer Meng know about this?"

"Ah, I know."

"Director Chen has a suspense and mystery film project that also wants to tell the story of a young detective, but it's currently lacking content. After hearing you mention this story a few days ago, I talked to Director Chen about it. He wanted me to ask you when it's convenient, and he wanted to come and talk to you in person to see if we can work together?"

He finished speaking what Chen Sicheng asked him to convey in one breath, and then waited nervously for Meng Bai's reply.

"Movie project..."

Meng Bai hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Okay, let's do it this week. Just contact me during the weekend."

“Okay, thank you, Producer Meng.” Liu Haoran said excitedly, “I’ll tell Director Chen right now and ask him to come over as soon as possible.”
