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

Chapter 32: What a hearty birthday gift
The dinner didn't end until around nine o'clock in the evening. Meng Bai supported Wu Bai, who had drunk quite a bit of wine, and sent him to the car.

"Director Wu, your car is quite nice."

Meng Bai looked at the white Jeep Grand Cherokee in front of him and began to praise it.

"Brother, you have good taste!" Wu Bai gave Meng Bai a thumbs up in admiration, patted his car and said proudly: "Fortunately, I bought it early. The Grand Cherokee is no longer in production. If I want to buy it again, I can only look for second-hand ones."

"Hmm~" Meng Bai looked the car up and down and said, "This must be more than 400,000, right?"

"Forty?" Five Hundred snorted and laughed: "I had full high configuration at first, and it landed at nearly this number!"

As he spoke, he made a "six" gesture to Meng Bai.

"Wow, so expensive. Very good, very good." Meng Bai couldn't help but echo and sigh.

Wu Bai shook his head and asked, "Why, are you planning to buy a car?"

"No, I can't afford it." Meng Bai waved his hand, closed the door of the 500-yuan car, and then called to the assistant director who was driving, "Drive slowly, send the director back and give me the news."

"do not worry."

The vehicle started slowly and slowly disappeared around the bend of the intersection.

"Want to buy a car?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind Meng Bai, startling him. Turning around, he saw Li Qin standing behind him with a smile on her face, as if she had successfully pulled off a prank.

"Tsk, childish." Meng Bai sneered, disdaining such childish jokes.

"Hey, if you're scared, just say you are. I won't laugh at you." Li Qin patted Meng Bai's shoulder and asked, "Just now I asked you, are you planning to buy a car?"

"Yes, I have looked at several brands recently." Meng Bai said seriously: "I think Yadi and Emma are both good, but a little expensive. Xiaodao has a high cost performance, but the brand is a bit niche. Another problem is that I am renting a house now, and it is a bit inconvenient to charge it every day."

"Charging?" Li Qin asked back in confusion, and then saw Meng Bai pursing his lips to suppress a smile. Only then did she react and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

At first, I actually believed his lies and wondered what brand of cars "Yadi" and "Emma" were!
"Hmm..." Meng Bai nodded with satisfaction, finally avenging the "scare" he had just received.

Li Qin was both angry and amused. This guy was really something. He wanted revenge and even had the nerve to call himself childish.

I really want to beat him up, but I'm afraid of ruining my reserved image. Forget it, I'll write it down in my notebook and I'll get revenge next time I have the chance.

"Oh, by the way, you almost changed the subject." Li Qin tried hard to recall the original question: "If you don't buy a car, why do you care so much about the director's car?"

"Ah, this..." Meng Bai touched his chin. "In the plot, 'Zhao Li' has a very domineering car. I have been thinking about what car would be suitable recently. Just now, I suddenly realized that our fifth director's car also looks quite beautiful."

Li Qin was stunned for a moment, then said speechlessly: "You really are... I now believe that you will definitely be an excellent producer in the future."

"Oh, there's no need to be so direct in your praise."

"I'm not praising you!"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Li Qin saw her assistant Jia Jia greeting her, so she said goodbye to Meng Bai, "I'm leaving now, you should go home early too. By the way, I'm leaving Jingbei tomorrow to attend some events and recordings. When the start time is set, please send it to me and I'll go there directly."

"Are you leaving tomorrow?"

Meng Bai asked with a little surprise, then he turned around, took out a white box from the backpack behind him and handed it to Li Qin.

"What...is this?" Li Qin asked in surprise, holding the box.

"One headset."

"Of course I know it's headphones!" Li Qin pursed her lips. There was a headphone pattern drawn on the box. "I'm asking you why you suddenly thought of giving me a pair of headphones."

"A gift!" Meng Bai said cheerfully, "Happy birthday."

"..."

Li Qin held the "gift box" in her hands, feeling all kinds of strange emotions surging in her heart.

She looked up at Meng Bai. The face in front of her, which looked a little hateful but also a little good-looking, was now filled with a bright smile. Taking a deep breath, Li Qin suppressed the many thoughts in her mind. She tried to use a calm tone and joked, "How do you know my birthday? Oh - you investigated me."

"Girl, just search on Baidu and everyone in the country knows your birthday."

Li Qin suddenly felt her face getting hot. Indeed, as a celebrity with a little fame, her information on the Internet was too complete.

She coughed lightly and pretended to be natural and said, "Then your check is inaccurate. Tomorrow is my birthday."

"I know." Meng Bai shrugged his shoulders. "I was planning to send it tomorrow, but you're leaving tomorrow. I can't wait until after midnight to give it to you, so I can only give it to you a little earlier. Anyway, it's only two or three hours later, don't worry, it won't age prematurely."

"You're the one getting older! I'm only 22 after my birthday!"

Meng Bai's last sentence hit the "minefield" accurately, and Li Qin's numerous distracting thoughts were instantly blown away.

"Yes, yes, our sister Li Qin is young and beautiful, and she will always be eighteen years old!" Meng Bai responded without any hesitation.

"That's enough!" Li Qin hurriedly stopped Meng Bai. Such words were too embarrassing for the person involved.

But even so, she still said seriously and sincerely: "Meng Bai, thank you for your gift."

"As long as you like it." Meng Bai said indifferently.

After the gifts were delivered, the two said goodbye to each other. Sitting in the car, Li Qin stared at the gift in her hand, her fingers rubbing along the box subconsciously.

"Sister Qin, what is this?" the young assistant Jia Jia asked curiously.

"A gift." Li Qin smiled, her face lit up: "This year's first birthday gift."

……

After seeing Li Qin off, Meng Bai also took a taxi home.

Sitting in the car, he was still thinking in his mind.

"Yes, I think the effect of this gift should have been achieved." Meng Bai said to himself, "I am smart. If it wasn't for the birthday of this silly girl, I would have wasted such a good opportunity to build relationships and build relationships."

Meng Bai had already bought the headphones for Li Qin a long time ago. Of course, when he first bought it, it had nothing to do with a "birthday gift".

In the first season of "Pendulum", the image of the heroine "Wang Xiaoya" is a college student with a bit of a "rebellious girl" meaning.

But with Li Qin's temperament, she can easily play the role of a top student, a good girl next door, etc., but she always lacks the feeling of a "rebellious girl".

The makeup and hairstyle had been adjusted before, and then Meng Bai thought that perhaps this subtle difference could be compensated by adding some props.

He discussed with the crew's art director for a long time, and finally decided to change the heroine's outfit when she appeared, and also let her wear headphones as decoration.

Meng Bai bought a pair of headphones online, and they arrived today. He put them in his bag when he came to the dinner.

Just now when he was having dinner, he was searching for information on the Internet and happened to see Li Qin's information.

Then he discovered that tomorrow was the girl's birthday.

Meng Bai also reacted quickly and immediately took advantage of the situation to kill two birds with one stone.

When giving gifts, the giver receives thanks, the receiver receives a surprise, and the gift is also guaranteed not to be wasted, so it's a three-pronged approach.

Meng Bai sighed. Sometimes he was really impressed by his own wit.

By the way, I almost forgot one thing.

Meng Bai opened the crew's finance WeChat - Sister Sun, I have an invoice for the crew's purchase of props. Please enter it into the account and I will get reimbursed to you later.

Well, that's perfect!
