1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 18 You're Not My Guardian

Gu Bin laughed jokingly: "They wear long pants, and they can even tie up the pant legs to float on the water like skimmers."

"Can this still happen?"

Li Yan found it very interesting and couldn't wait to see it for herself: "Director Du, why don't we go now? It's hot at noon, maybe there are people swimming in the pool."

"It's almost lunchtime."

Director Du had some concerns: "Shouldn't the swimmers go back for dinner too?"

"But we still have our beautiful younger sister."

Li Yan winked at Lin Xiyu, about to encourage her, but was once again rudely interrupted by Gu Bin.

"She can't swim!"

"why?"

Li Yan almost choked on her breath after he said that.

Gu Bin said matter-of-factly, "Didn't we already see her swimming skills when she rescued the person? There's no need to go through this unnecessary trouble."

"Xiao Bin, that's not fair of you."

Li Yan laughed angrily: "When we were discussing the contract, it was clearly agreed that Xi Yu, as a special guest of the Quanshui Renjia program, had an obligation to cooperate with the documentary filming. Besides, we applied for a fee of 10,000 yuan for her. If she doesn't film, it will be difficult to explain to the station director."

"I'll talk to the station director."

Gu Bin retorted firmly: "Besides swimming, there are many other things she can do, such as becoming an image ambassador for Jinan, introducing the seventy-two famous springs, as well as local customs, history, culture, and cuisine, etc."

"Director Du, look at this."

Li Yan stared at him for a few seconds, then helplessly gave in and passed the problem to her boss.

"Xiao Bin is right."

Director Du is a shrewd person. After listening to what the staff member said, his attitude changed completely: "It is indeed too simplistic to only film the daily life of ordinary people in the courtyard. Adding some content on customs, food, history and culture will make it more in-depth and more attractive to tourists from other places, which will also benefit the local tourism industry."

"Director Du, how about this?"

The assistant director seized the opportunity to offer a suggestion: "Let's talk to the Culture and Tourism Bureau and collaborate with them to shoot a documentary while also making a promotional video introducing the local tourism features."

"That's a great idea, I think it'll work." Director Du's eyes lit up, and he gave him an approving look.

"Then there's no rush to film at the Prince's Mansion Pond."

The assistant director was quite pleased with his quick thinking: "Let's communicate with the Culture and Tourism Bureau first, and then we'll talk about it when we have a concrete plan."

"Okay, let's do it."

Director Du entrusted him with an important task: "This matter is entrusted to you. You are responsible for negotiating with the Culture and Tourism Bureau and, while you're at it, getting as many advertisements as possible."

"clear."

The assistant director grinned and exchanged a knowing glance with him.

After the interview, Lin Xiyu benefited from the program crew's meal, which she enjoyed with Gu Bin, and left the TV station happily.

"From now on, no matter what requests they make, they are not allowed to agree to them without my consent."

On his way home in a taxi, Gu Bin didn't forget to remind her.

"why?"

Lin Xiyu looked bewildered and muttered quietly, "You're not my guardian."

The muttering was quite loud; everyone in the car could hear it clearly.

The taxi driver glanced at the back row with great interest through the rearview mirror.

"Silly girl"

Gu Bin laughed angrily: "Without my protection, do you really think you wouldn't be sold out with your pathetic IQ?"

I have a question.

Lin Xiyu was indignant and was about to question him about what was wrong with him.
