In Huayu, the career reward is spy

Chapter 218: The Only Promise I Can Give

In the bright music room, Ji Yu sat at the piano and played elegantly.

One beautiful note after another appeared.

After playing for a while, he stopped to write down the score on a piece of paper, then picked up the guitar next to him and played it again.

He's currently writing songs and plans to release an album this year. He'll also be writing songs for Wang Xinling and Shu Chang.

With more singers joining the company, his creative pressure also increased.

After all, not all singers are like Lin Junjie, who can write their own songs.

Ji Yu spent the whole afternoon in the music room and wrote several songs.

The main problem is that arranging music is time-consuming, while composing music is not difficult.

I'll take advantage of the time now to write more so I can use it directly later.

Current music editing software is not very convenient and is very cumbersome to operate.

Ji Yu hadn't specifically learned these software programs, so it was more convenient to do it himself.

By this time, the sky outside had darkened, and Ji Yu put away the several pieces of music he had finished.

I'm hungry, time to eat.

Ji Yu spent a long time tinkering in the kitchen, preparing three dishes and a soup.

For Ji Yu, cooking a meal occasionally is also a form of rest.

It's a very pleasant thing to cook whatever you want to eat and then slowly enjoy the food by yourself.

After finishing his meal, Ji Yu played games for a while, then lay on the sofa reading a script.

Initial D is almost ready to start filming next month.

Liu Weiqiang didn't find suitable locations in Taiwan, so he flew to Japan to scout locations.

Filming in Japan would be great, as it fits the original story.

Ji Yu calculated that he could rest for another week.

He happily rolled over, tossed the script aside, and fell asleep on the sofa.

He woke up again at around 4 a.m.

The sky was dark and gloomy, as if it was about to rain. Ji Yu brewed himself a pot of tea and sat on the balcony reading and waiting for the rain.

About half an hour later, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Ji Yu, who was reading, looked up and opened the balcony window. The damp air blew in, and it felt wonderful.

This is what a vacation should be like.

A vacation means complete freedom; you can do whatever you want and absolutely not do what you don't want to do.

He turned off his phone; he absolutely wouldn't let work distract him.

It's just a lot of hard work for Lao Cai and Huo Wenxi.

Power and obligation go hand in hand. They gain power, status, and money, but they also have to bear the pain of going to work for Ji Yu.

However, it seemed that Ji Yu had nothing to give Teacher Li.

Fan Bingbing is very career-oriented and dreams of becoming a superstar. The company will focus its resources on supporting her in the future.

Zhang Yan is a bit bourgeois at heart, and Ji Yu will provide her with a comfortable material life.

Only Li Xiaoran has been with him for so long, it seems she doesn't want anything in return, just him as a person.

She didn't look down on him when he was poor, and she didn't become greedy for material things when he had money.

Ji Yu felt that the only thing he could give her was marriage and children.

Looking at the light rain under the night sky, Ji Yu decided to propose first, and then talk about marriage later.

A light rain was falling, and Ji Yu sat down to continue reading until the rain stopped and the sun came out before putting the book down.

Taking a nap at this time is the best thing to do.

Ji Yu ran back to his bedroom, stripped naked, wrapped himself in the blanket, and fell asleep shortly afterward.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran, who had just finished filming and returned to Shanghai, came back carrying her suitcase.

She just finished filming her first movie, a horror film called "The Paranoid."

The director of this film is Herman Yau, a very famous horror film master in Hong Kong. He also directed The Untold Story.

Qiu Litao also holds another position: one of the directors of Huaguoxing.

So, the film that was supposed to be Sugar Man's first movie has now become a Hua Guoxing movie.

In fact, Herman Yau was the most devastated. He accepted Sugar Man's invitation to make a movie, but before the movie was even finished, he found that Sugar Man had taken over his company.

He hasn't dared to return to Hong Kong during this time, fearing that others might misunderstand and think he betrayed the Xiang family.

What a coincidence! He had just arrived in the mainland to collaborate with Sugar Man when the Xiang family disappeared within a few days.

It's hard not to make those connections.

Li Xiaoran noticed that Qiu Litao always looked worried and distressed on set recently.

Qiu Litao was already extremely ugly, and his gloomy face was even more frightening.

So much so that Li Xiaoran believes the scariest thing about the movie "Paranoia" is not the plot, but the director himself.

Perhaps because she had seen too many ugly people, when Li Xiaoran entered the bedroom and saw Ji Yu sleeping soundly, she was immediately amazed by his appearance.

The baby is so handsome, he's absolutely perfect!
Li Xiaoran was so excited that she jumped up and pounced on him without thinking.

Ji Yu, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.

He had heard Li Xiaoran return a while ago and had been pretending to be asleep.

The moment Li Xiaoran lunged at him, he opened his arms and hugged her tightly, then rolled over on the bed and pinned her beneath him.

"Baby, you're back." Ji Yu pouted and was about to kiss her when Li Xiaoran supported his chin with both hands.

"Don't move, let me take a good look at you!" Li Xiaoran touched his face, as if admiring a beautiful work of art.

Li Xiaoran is rediscovering her sense of aesthetics!

Ji Yu, puzzled, asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Don't you remember what I look like?"

Li Xiaoran shook her head, her fingertips tracing the bridge of his nose, and said, "I love you more and more, you're so handsome."

Ji Yu: "." Are you a genius who just discovered this today?
After admiring him, Li Xiaoran immediately perked up, grabbed Ji Yu's neck, pulled him down, and kissed him fiercely.

Let your sister give you two big kisses!

Ji Yu responded warmly to her, and at this moment, the feeling of being apart for a short time was finally coming.

The two of them didn't say a word, but rolled around and kissed on the bed.

Sunlight streamed through the window, and Ji Yu, gazing at Li Xiaoran's radiant white skin and alluring figure, could no longer control himself.

An hour passed, the two got up to drink water, then took a bath, and another hour passed before they came out of the bathroom, went to the living room to eat and watch TV, and then another hour passed on the sofa.

They stayed together until evening, and then fell asleep in each other's arms.

When I woke up the next morning, I continued the same routine as yesterday.

After three days, Li Xiaoran couldn't take it anymore; it really hurt.
She now wears long pants and long sleeves at home, and they're the loose kind that can cover up her figure.

If Ji Yu's gaze seemed off, she would immediately cover her chest and run away.

Ji Yu sighed, feeling that he had been rejected.

He watched Li Xiaoran bustling about in the kitchen, then turned around, grabbed his car keys, and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going? Dinner will be ready soon!" Li Xiaoran asked, peeking into the kitchen.

"I'll buy something and be right back!"

Just as Ji Yu finished speaking, the door slammed shut. Li Xiaoran wondered why he was going out.

Didn't we say that during the vacation we shouldn't go out, work, or answer the phone?
Is she angry because she won't let him touch her?
But she really couldn't take it anymore. It had been three days in a row, and even she, with her strong will, couldn't hold on any longer. Li Xiaoran, puzzled, returned to the kitchen to continue cooking. Twenty minutes later, Ji Yu came back.

He happily ran to the kitchen and grabbed Li Xiaoran's hand.

"Don't touch it, your hands are all oily and you'll get them dirty." Li Xiaoran said, trying to pull her hand away, but Ji Yu held it tightly.

He took a sparkling diamond ring out of his pocket and slipped it onto Li Xiaoran's finger.

Li Xiaoran was stunned, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what Ji Yu meant.

Could it be a marriage proposal to himself?
She couldn't help but cover her mouth in excitement, tears welling up in her eyes.

After Ji Yu put the ring on her finger, he wiped away her tears and said, "Why are you crying? I didn't say we'd get married now. I'm just putting a ring on your finger to tie you down!"

Li Xiaoran whimpered and hit him while wiping away her tears.

That's awful. When you're so touched, you have to say something like that.

And he proposed while she was cooking; she must look awful right now!

Li Xiaoran grew angrier the more she thought about it, and, feeling both angry and happy, hugged him and kept punching his chest.

Ten minutes later, Ji Yu sat at the dining table anxiously waiting for Li Xiaoran to come and start the meal.

The meal was ready, but she insisted on changing her clothes and putting on makeup.

They wanted to make it more formal, so they asked Ji Yu to open a bottle of wine.

Ji Yu felt really bad for her; he shouldn't have been so casual, not even preparing flowers.

Sigh. What an insensitive man.

Ji Yu handed Huaguoxing over to Lao Cai, the new company to Huo Wenxi, and would also give the company's future resources to Fan Bingbing. He would also provide Zhang Yan with material compensation.

Ji Yu didn't know what to give Li Xiaoran, and after thinking it over, the only thing he could give her was to marry her and give her a child.

I was too hasty today.

While Ji Yu was filled with regret, Li Xiaoran had already changed her clothes and came out. Her elegant white dress perfectly showcased her tall and slender figure.

Just standing there is like a painting. Ji Yu said, staring intently, "Teacher Li, you are so beautiful, I could never get enough of looking at you."

Li Xiaoran couldn't help but laugh. She walked up to him, took off the ring, and handed it back to him, saying, "One more time!"

Ji Yu immediately picked up the ring and stood up. Seeing the flower arrangement on the dining table, he reached out and took one of the flowers, plucking off the petals.

Just as Li Xiaoran was about to ask him if his hand hurt, he tossed the flower petals into the air. The pink petals slowly fell down, and Ji Yu knelt on one knee, holding up the ring.

"Will you marry me?"

Tears welled up in Li Xiaoran's eyes again, and this time she couldn't hold them back. She looked into Ji Yu's deep and earnest eyes and reached out her hand to him.

Ji Yu gently held her hand and solemnly and carefully put the ring on her ring finger.

Looking at the sparkling ring on her finger, Li Xiaoran felt that she had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

She excitedly hugged Ji Yu tightly, as if afraid he would run away.

Ji Yu also held her in his arms, and the two of them were completely possessive of each other at this moment.

As night fell, the two of them held hands and sat on the balcony watching the stars.

We dreamed together about what the future would be like, and whether we would still be watching the stars together when we were eighty years old.

Li Xiaoran rested her head on his shoulder and said, "I want to go back to sleep."

"Mmm." Ji Yu picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

A few minutes later, Li Xiaoran's soft complaint came from the room: "Why have you suddenly become so obedient?"

Ji Yu asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you wanted to sleep? Didn't you say you were in pain and needed to rest for a few days?"

Li Xiaoran pouted and said, "Are you really that obedient?"

Ji Yu smiled and leaned closer to her, pinching her nose as he asked, "Teacher Li, do you want it? Just say so if you do."

Feeling embarrassed, Li Xiaoran huffed and turned her back, saying, "I don't want to. You're not allowed to touch me tonight, not even a little bit."

Ji Yu said "oh" and immediately hugged her from behind.

Li Xiaoran hummed and acted like a sulky pupa, refusing to let Ji Yu hug her.

Ji Yu laughed and pulled the blanket over the embarrassed Li Xiaoran.

In the darkness, Li Xiaoran finally let go of herself, turned around, and reached out to hug Ji Yu, that bad guy.

The two rolled around in bed, their overwhelming love bursting forth in the darkness.

The next morning, Ji Yu opened his eyes, still half asleep, and smelled the aroma of food.

Teacher Li got up so early!

Ji Yu rubbed his eyes and walked to the kitchen door. When he saw Teacher Li wearing an apron, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Teacher Li turned to him and said, "Get up, go brush your teeth and wash your face. Dinner will be ready in a little while."

"Okay." Ji Yu went inside, kissed her, and then went to brush his teeth and wash his face.

After breakfast, Li Xiaoran went to take her beauty nap, while Ji Yu went to the study alone.

After a few days of rest, he felt all the fatigue and negative emotions that had accumulated in his body disappear.

I had a bad time recently, but I'm finally able to rest now.

He had been out of contact for the past few days, but today he was able to turn on his phone and make calls, thus connecting with the outside world.

A lot of messages popped up as soon as I turned on my phone.

The phone rang for a long time before Ji Yu finally checked the messages after it went completely silent.

Many people contact him; there are all sorts of things going on.

One of them, Ji Yu found very interesting.

Zhang Yimou asked him to make a movie.

One of the male protagonists in House of Ten Sides.

This news came from the day before yesterday. Zhang Weiping of New Pictures arrived in Shanghai yesterday, and we're waiting to meet him.

Ji Yu called his assistant back, telling him to treat the other party well and arrange to meet for dinner the next day to discuss the details.

House of Flying Daggers isn't a great film, but in the current film market, it's a very big project.

From a purely cinematic art perspective, House of Flying Daggers can only be considered a passable film.

Besides Zhang Yimou asking him to act in a movie, many other companies are also asking him to act in films.

Ji Yu's schedule is very tight; he can only shoot a few films a year at most. All the companies know this very well. Whoever grabs the slot first will make the profit!

Ji Yu has already filmed Infernal Affairs 2 this year, and will soon be filming Initial D. He will film a maximum of two more movies in the second half of the year.

All the companies will definitely be keeping an eye on this time slot.

After reading through all the invitations from various companies, Ji Yu showed no interest in any of them.

Either the project is a flop, or the character is mediocre and you can't get good skills.

When Ji Yu chooses a project, his first consideration is what rewards the character can obtain.

Business issues will be considered only then.

He was too lazy last year and filmed relatively few dramas.

The rewards for Infernal Affairs 12 are cumulative, the rewards for Pink Lady are not very useful, only the Street Dance reward is decent, and the rewards for Nodame Cantabile are the most useful, as the orchestral music is the most helpful to him.

I didn't get enough rewards from the system last year, so I'll try to earn more this year.

If you're short on time, then choose roles that have distinctive characteristics.

Quantity isn't enough; quality needs to keep up!
