Chapter 638: My Eyes Were So Close To Being Blinded...
This question flashed across Su Yang’s mind. However, it was because everything happened so suddenly that he was stunned.
‘This is Lin Jiali’s house, so what else could she do in the bathroom? Shower, of course!
‘However, I’ve been to Lin Jiali’s bathroom so many times that I almost treated it as my own house. So, I’ve never seen Lin Jiali in the bathroom before and wasn’t expecting to encounter such an awkward situation.’
This was especially since he was landing slowly, so he could see all of Lin Jiali in his eyes. Her beautiful figure, her slim waist and her breasts that made one’s imagination run wild... Were all completely invisible.
This was because Lin Jiali is in a bathtub... Having a bubble bath.
Even though Su Yang was shocked and his gaze was fixated on Lin Jiali, he could only see her hair wrapped in a towel. She did not have any makeup on, but she still had a beautiful face. Her collarbones were fair and seemed to be able to fit a dozen coins on top of it and her long legs could be seen in the bubbles.
She seemed to be enjoying the bath. Her fair and slender right hand reached out from the water to play with the bubbles. Her long legs leaned playfully on the edge of the bathtub, making her look like the most perfect painting in the world.
However, Su Yang did not have the time to appreciate it because he was puzzled. ‘Huh? Wouldn’t Lin Jiali always be asleep until late and eat her lunch like it was breakfast when she wasn’t working?
‘Why is she up so early today?
‘Also... I am about to land completely, how am I going to escape?!
‘It’s going to be too strange for me to directly descent and appear right in front of her!
‘Am I going to have to edit her memories then?
‘That would be too casual!’
Looking at his feet that were about to land on the ground, Su Yang knew that he could not hesitate any longer. He racked his brains and thought of a solution!
After a short moment, he finally decided to take a gamble!
His hands were tightly clenched, ready in advance. Just as he was about to land on the ground, he suddenly raised his head! He planned to connect seamlessly, triggering his Silver Ability [Hands Of Fate]!
At that moment, Su Yang landed on the ground and time returned to normal. Su Yang and Lin Jiali’s gazes met.
One of them was fully dressed and had just landed, while the other... Was still soaking in the bathtub.
In that instant, time seemed to have slowed down. Su Yang could clearly see that Lin Jiali’s joyful expression had slowly turned into fear! Her mouth was wide open as if she was about to scream!
Hence, at that very critical moment!
Su Yang finally raised his hand and slammed it down!
At that moment, Su Yang disappeared from the bathroom.
Lin Jiali’s scream was still stuck in her throat, but when she saw that there was no one in the bathroom, she was stunned for a while before asking, “Eh? Where is he?”
Lin Jiali looked at the corner of the bathroom in confusion. ‘There was no one there at all.’
She ignored the fact that she was soaking in the bath and jumped out of the bathtub. With a “Splash”, the bath water mixed with bubbles floated into the air. She walked to the corner naked and her beautiful naked body was like God’s most perfect masterpiece.
She squatted down and examined the floor of the bathroom. ‘It’s as if Su Yang has crawled into a crack in the floor, but... There are no traces of him on the floor at all.’
She raised her head again and looked around the bathroom, recalling the scene earlier...
‘I seem to have... Saw Su Yang suddenly appear in the corner and... Disappeared?
‘Isn’t this too magical?
‘Is it possible that... I’m hallucinating because I miss Su Yang too much?
‘But if that was an illusion, wasn’t it too real?’
Lin Jiali frowned. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t figure it out...
‘What clue am I missing here?
‘Is there anything here to prove that he was here?’
Lin Jiali thought about it carefully and looked left and right. In the end, her eyes lit up when she saw the clothes on the rack!
‘That’s right! Clothes!
‘Su Yang’s clothes!
‘I clearly remember that he was wearing a suit!’
At that thought, Lin Jiali took out her phone and made a video call to Su Yang. She wanted to see if Su Yang was wearing a suit!
‘If he is wearing a suit, then I wasn’t hallucinating! Something weird might have happened instead!’
“Du... Du... Du...”
A moment later, Su Yang appeared on the screen. He was wearing a sports attire and was exercising on a treadmill in the gym.
He picked up the phone and wiped his sweat as he asked, “What’s wrong? Lin Jiali... F*ck! Are you crazy?”
Su Yang ended the call.
Lin Jiali blinked in confusion. “What’s the matter?”
With that, she looked down and screamed with an “Ahhh” sound! Then, she fell into the bathtub.
She now had no intention to wonder if Su Yang had come to her bathroom. All she could feel was her head buzzing and her face turning red. She wanted to drown herself so badly...
‘I wasn’t expecting her to be so careless. As a result, I saw everything clearly, including the things I couldn’t see just now. My eyes were so close to being blinded.
‘Today isn’t a good day to meet her... I’ll wait for another two days before I do.’
...
At night, Su Yang came out of the virtual space 20 minutes earlier to meet Wu Feng for dinner.
The director of National Films wasn’t here yet, but Wu Feng already was.
After asking the waiter and confirming that they were in the private room, Su Yang went upstairs to the private room. When he opened the door, he saw Wu Feng on the phone.
When Wu Feng saw Su Yang entering, he raised his hand and gestured to the phone as he mouthed “wait a moment”.
Su Yang nodded and sat down beside Wu Feng. Then, he heard Wu Feng say, “I know, I know. But I really want to make this movie. Can you coordinate it?”
“I’m also promoting the positive image of us soldiers and the country’s growing strength against foreign enemies.”
“Right, that’s correct. “Wolf Warriors” is going to be the main theme whereby my sequels will definitely be the same as well.”
“Okay, sure. I’ll be patiently waiting for your good news.”
After chatting for a while, Wu Feng hung up the phone. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to Su Yang, “Did you arrive here today?”
The two of them were getting closer to each other, so they started to talk casually. Su Yang nodded. “Yes, I caught the afternoon flight today.”
‘I was indeed on a plane... I was flying in the sky though.’
Wu Feng nodded, then pointed at the phone on the table and said, “That was from the military. I was discussing the sequel.”
The sequel was also related to Su Yang, so Su Yang asked, “Have you encountered any problems?”
Wu Feng shook his head. “Actually, it’s not a problem per se. It’s just that I think our first movie is so popular that I want the sequel to be done on a bigger scale. Hence,I planned to borrow a large warship, a missile and make it a big one. But... the military is unwilling to help us.”
Su Yang was stunned.
‘Warship? Missile?
‘Wu Feng really intends on going big this time!’
Su Yang asked, “I seem to remember that the script isn’t out yet, isn’t it?”
Wu Feng put down his phone and sighed. “Sigh, that’s right. But the screenwriters told me that if I can’t confirm whether I can get these things, they won’t know how to design the plot.”
“That’s why I’m asking them to write a few versions as backup while I try to contact them urgently.”
“Actually, we could go overseas to borrow money if we have to, but this isn’t about money anymore. With this kind of topic and going to such huge scales to film this, it’s very likely that we won’t be able to get past the national reviewing without the support of the military. You know how it is...”
Su Yang nodded, understanding Wu Feng’s difficulties.
The two of them were ambitious people. Although they were happy with the results for “Wolf Warriors”, they did not indulge in it. Therefore, after chatting for more than ten minutes, the topics were all about the sequel without a single mention of “Wolf Warriors”.
As a result, after ten minutes of chatting, the two of them actually managed to come to a conclusion on how to work together for the sequel.
Su Yang’s request was that no matter how much he invested, he would try his best to get as much share as possible. Also, he would obtain as much of the copyrights as possible
On the other hand, Wu Feng’s goal was to gain more profits by investing as little as possible. After all, he did not have much cash on hand and he was already running out of money from filming the first movie.
Therefore, the two of them decided that Su Yang’s investment amounted to about 70% of the total investment. He would take 70% of the copyrights, but would only take 60% of the profits. On the other hand, Wu Feng would take 25% of the profits by investing 10%.
The extra portion that he took up was his reward as the founder of the project, most copyright owner of the first movie, as well as the lead and director. That was the so-called box office sharing.
As for the investment amount, it was estimated to be about the same as the first movie, slightly more than 100 million yuan. However, this time, it was the real deal. It was not like the first movie where its investment amount was fake.
After the initial discussion, both parties were satisfied.
Su Yang did not feel that he was at a disadvantage. He knew that this movie would make money. Even though he had yet to come up with a concrete plan for the project, he could tell that the second movie would make as much money as the first one.
Under such circumstances, Su Yang naturally had to invest more.
His original share was 40%, combined with the 10% that he won from the bet, he would have 50%. If he wanted to continue raking in 10% of the profit, it was only normal for him to pay 20% of the investment. After all, the extra investment would be earned back in many times the amount.
After talking about “Wolf Warriors 2”, Wu Feng’s phone also rang.
Wu Feng looked at his phone. The words “Mr. Mu” were written on it. Wu Feng gestured at it and said softly, “Director of National Films.” Then, he picked up the phone.
“Oh, Mr. Mu, you’re here. Alright, I’ll come down and pick you up then.”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine. I’ll come and pick you up now.”
After that, Wu Feng hung up the phone and said to Su Yang, “I’m going down to pick him up. Brother Su, please wait a moment.”
Su Yang was not the kind of person who did not know how to conduct himself. Now that he had a favor to ask of someone and his age and experience were not comparable to that person, there was no reason for him to wait in the private room. Hence, he stood up and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Wu Feng glanced at Su Yang. “Don’t force yourself. It’s fine.”
Obviously, Wu Feng was afraid that Su Yang, a big boss with a powerful background, would feel uncomfortable if he went to receive and welcome someone else.
Su Yang smiled and said, “He’s a senior after all, so it’s only natural for me to pick him up.”
Wu Feng patted Su Yang’s shoulder and left the room with him.
In the end, when the two of them wanted to welcome him, Mr. Mu did not need them to do so. Before Su Yang and the rest could go downstairs, he walked up himself.
Mr. Mu was a middle-aged man with a square face. He wore a pair of glasses and looked honest.
Seeing the two of them come out, he laughed and said to Wu Feng, “Aiya, Little Wu, you really didn’t have to do this. I can find the place myself.”
He then looked at Su Yang with a smile on his face and extended his hand. “This must be Mr. Su. Hello, how are you?”
Su Yang shook hands with Mr. Mu. “Yes, my name is Su Yang. Hello, Mr. Mu.”
All in all, Su Yang had a good first impression of Mr. Mu. He did not have the bureaucratic style of a big state-owned enterprise, nor did he flaunt his seniority because of his seniority.
However, one might know a person’s face but not their heart. No one knew if he was just putting on an act where it was just a display of affinity towards outsiders.
Hence, Su Yang followed his original plan and secretly held onto the [Unrestricted Driver’s License].
