Chapter 37 Making money is not bad!

The address Shu Yue gave was a bit far away, and it would take an hour to get there by taxi.

Yunzhen's family lives in the city center, but the place where Shu Yue asked her to go is located in the west of the city, which is a newly developed area.

There is nothing else here except a lot of cinemas, shopping malls, squares and amusement parks.

Most of the people gathered here are tourists, and there are also some locals who are out for fun. In addition, celebrities also like to choose this place for events.

Yunzhen wandered around for a long time before he found Shuyue, and discovered that she was eating super spicy instant noodles and drinking wolfberry chrysanthemum tea.

The late lunch was a combination of loss and gain, as if as long as she ate fast enough, she would not have stomachache.

Yun Zhen kindly advised: "Good health is not a math problem. Can the positive and negative cancel each other out?"

Shu Yue felt that she was more bitter than bitter gourd: "I don't want to either. This instant noodle is given by the sponsor. There is no other flavor except this."

Yunzhen glanced at the instant noodles packaging and confirmed that it was a brand he would not buy.

Suddenly I felt sympathy for my friend: "How about I buy you some bread or cake? Is there a store nearby?"

Although he is a local, he asked a question that sounded quite foreign.

That's what a homegirl is like. She doesn't know anything about other places except the street where she lives.

Shu Yue waved her hands: "I'm full and can't eat anymore, but it'll be fine if I just make do with it."

After that, he took out his phone and took a picture of the finished instant noodle box, then posted it to his Moments with a bunch of emojis and emoticons:

[DouLe brand turkey noodles are so delicious! Super spicy, super refreshing and super exciting! If I didn't have work in the afternoon, I really want to show off two more bowls! ]

Yunzhen looked at her passionate circle of friends and the expressionless face when she posted them.

Nothing was said, but silence speaks louder than words.

Shu Yue thought about her failure in the job competition and couldn't help complaining to her:

"My performance last month wasn't very good. I have no choice but to take the initiative to increase my workload this month so that I have a chance to get promoted next time."

"Young people nowadays say they want to take it easy, but they are actually working hard behind the scenes. They said they would work together but at the end of the year, the other party shines, gets promoted and gets a raise. They are liars, and everything is just a strategy to deceive competitors!"

Yunzhen was once an ordinary worker, so her feelings are understandable.

"Life is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Living in such an involutionary country, who dares to really lie down? Be open-minded. If it doesn't work this time, try next time. If it still doesn't work next time, change companies."

Shu Yue slumped in the chair. "Not everyone is so introverted and so eager to make money. For example, the temporary worker I had an appointment with stood me up without even giving me a reason."

Speaking of this, Yun Zhen was about to ask: "What do you want me to do for you?"

Shu Yue took Yun Zhen to Coral Plaza, where a promotional event for a newly released movie was being held.

Participants can receive some props for free. Yunzhen received a hammer balloon, a bottle of mineral water and a glass jar of star candies.

This jar of candy is pretty nice, you can give it to your little human when you take it home.

Yun Zhen followed Shu Yue to the center of the square, where more than 600 people had gathered around the open-air stage.

The leading male and female actors worked hard to promote the film on stage and occasionally interacted with the audience.

Shu Yue told her that the audience here only looked large.

In fact, half of them were passers-by who were just there to join in the fun, and the other half were hired by the public relations company to help.

There were only about a dozen or so star fans who really followed here. They brought their own props such as banners, balloons, and glow sticks. They shouted slogans louder than anyone else and were not afraid of the strange looks from passers-by at all.

The male lead on the stage said something, and the audience suddenly screamed in excitement.

Shu Yue next to him also shouted: "Wow - my husband is so handsome! Brother Xingchen is so great!"

Yun Zhen looked at her with a puzzled look: "Put on some pants, we are in public."

Shu Yue turned around and whispered, "This is a new hype project that the company has taken on. We have to build momentum for this movie and this male star. It's not shameful to make money! Just treat the other person as a pig, dog, cow or horse."

Then he continued to join in the fun and create an atmosphere.

Yun Zhen: "…"

When it was the female star's turn to speak, the audience's reaction was much smaller.

Shu Yue also had the leisure to share gossip with her:

"This male and female star are both the main actors, but they are fighting over who gets the role. The entertainment industry is so boring that they will stir up trouble even for nothing."

"The male star is called Meng Xingchen. He likes to pretend to be a mixed-race persona. He claims to have ancestry from five countries. He has a bad temper and is very narcissistic. People praise him for being handsome on the surface, but in private they call him the 'Five Constant Virtues Beast'."

Yun Zhen didn't understand: "Five Constant Virtues?"

Shu Yue had an expression that said "I knew you would ask" and explained to her: "The countries whose bloodlines he mixed with happened to be the five permanent members of the United Nations."

Yunzhen glanced at the male star, a young actor with a feminine look and heavy makeup.

The actress next to her is more refreshing, a sweet girl with a nice smile.

"You're in such a hurry to get me here, just because you need a passerby audience?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Yue put her work badge on her neck and said,

"I will be called by a male actor in a while and pretend to be a passionate fan to perform an interactive segment, but the supervisor may look for me. You can go to the meeting on my behalf and tell me the content of the meeting when I come back."

It turned out to be a proxy meeting. Yun Zhen understood: "Okay."

At this moment, loud and cheerful music suddenly sounded on the stage.

The audience in the venue also shouted excitedly.

The host said with a smile on his face: "Now let's choose today's lucky audience, who will it be——"

The male actor next to him seemed to glance over here, and then whispered something to the staff next to him.

The searchlight on the stage began to sweep across the entire venue, and wherever the light shone, the audience cheered.

Yun Zhen stood at the back bored, thinking that Shu Yue would be illuminated by the light and the camera would also lock on to her.

She silently took a few steps back, trying to make as much space as possible to avoid being accidentally photographed.

As the music and drumbeats gradually changed, the searchlights slowly stopped.

As the last drum beat was about to fall, the light suddenly turned and was about to fall on Yun Zhen.

However, at this crucial moment.

A huge red light screen suddenly popped up in front of Yun Zhen——

***

The time goes back 3 hours.

After Yunzhen left, the Pei family's Aurora yacht was slowly approaching Maoshan City.

They did not enter the city directly, but stopped in the waters close to the edge of the city.

Ou Shengjie sent out several drones to fly into the city to investigate the situation.

After finding an available charging station, we can discuss how to carry out the charging task.

However, as soon as the Pei family's drone entered the city, it was immediately captured by nearby surveillance cameras.

In a well-preserved residential building in Maoshan City, a group of gangster-looking people were sitting in the surveillance room, smoking and playing cards.

One of them saw something strange on the surveillance screen and stood up immediately:

"There are outsiders here to explore the way. Go report to the boss first."
