The two of us.

You and I are both grown men, so it doesn't matter if you wait, but Miss Zhu is a woman, so it would be inappropriate for me to wait here.

As for Hadron, you have to go first. If you don’t go, who will book a room for us, right?"

"This..." Li Youfu was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Cao Zhiqiang, meaning to listen to you.

Cao Zhiqiang frowned and looked at Xu Qingdong: "Old Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Qingdong blinked, then pulled Cao Zhiqiang to the side, and then whispered: "Qiangzi, if you leave first, leaving me and Zhu Lin alone, it will be hard to say or not.

If word got out, I wouldn't be able to tell.

It's different with you. There is such a big age gap between you and Miss Zhu. No one will say anything is wrong between you two, not to mention you have two younger sisters.

So, please help me, I really can’t be alone with this Zhu Lin, I have to pay attention to the impact!”

"I didn't expect you to be a strict wife?" Cao Zhiqiang glanced sideways at Xu Qingdong.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Okay, in that case, I'll listen to you."

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang listened to Xu Qingdong's arrangement. He, Cao Lili, Qiao Simei, and Zhu Lin, a total of four people, boarded the Crown car waiting outside and went to Jinling Hotel first.

After my group was taken to the hotel, the Crown Car went to the airport to pick up Xu Qingdong and Li Youfu.

In this way, everyone is indeed happy.

Originally this was nothing, but when Zhu Lin followed Cao Zhiqiang and his group out of the car and arrived at the reception desk of Jinling Hotel, he immediately frowned.

"Wait a minute, President Cao, you, you won't let me live here, right?" Zhu Lin asked.

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Don't worry, I will arrange a separate room for you so that you can have a good rest. I will not let you be with my sister."

"That's not what I meant." Zhu Lin shook his head, "I mean, isn't it too expensive here?"

After a brief pause, Zhu Lin said: "The standard room here costs 650 yuan a night, which, this is half my salary for half a year!

In short, this is too luxurious and I don’t feel at ease living here, so let’s find another place and stay in an ordinary guest house.”

Before Cao Zhiqiang could speak, Qiao Simei said with a smile: "Aunt Zhu, don't worry, my brother is rich. This little money is just drizzle to him, not worth mentioning at all."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "That's right, Ms. Zhu, just feel free to live here. Although the room rate here is expensive, to me, it is no different from ordinary people's ten cents.

Furthermore, you and I are the hero and heroine, and I will ask you to take good care of me from now on.

If I stayed here and you stayed in another hotel, wouldn’t I have to travel a long way to talk to you about drama?

So, you can live there with peace of mind.

I have already said that this is from my own pocket, not included in the public expenses of filming."

Zhu Lin frowned: "But here, living in such an expensive room, I always feel uneasy."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Ms. Zhu, now it is a market economy, and the film and television industry will also usher in changes.

An excellent actress like you will become famous sooner or later, and she will be rich sooner or later.

Therefore, in a big hotel like this, it won't be long before you can easily check into it without batting an eye.

Now we are just moving in early, it’s nothing.”

Zhu Lin said: "But we live here, and the other actors and crew members live in the guest house. Isn't this a bit too special? It is easy to get separated from the masses."

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "Ms. Zhu..."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Lin smiled again, "Why do you keep calling me ma'am? Why don't you call me miss?"

"Um..." Cao Zhiqiang blinked and thought, am I telling you that in my previous life, the word "miss" had long been stigmatized?

But yes, in this period, the word "miss" is still a compliment and has not been stigmatized.

"Let's do this." Cao Zhiqiang said, "You are older than me, how about I call you Sister Zhu? You can do the same as Director Xu, call me Qiangzi, and don't call me President all day long."

Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, Qiangzi."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and then said: "Back to the topic, the key to this play is your and our performances, and everyone else exists around our story.

As for other people's salaries, my salary is very high, and the accommodation environment is definitely above average.

To put it bluntly, everyone comes here to film movies to make money. There will be no complaints and there is no talk of being separated from the masses.

Today is a market economy, and everything is decided by the market, or in other words, by the investors.

Coincidentally, I am not only the leading actor of this drama, but also the screenwriter, director and producer, so my words are the final decision.

If other people feel that my decision is out of touch with the masses, they can leave at any time. I never force myself to stay.

So, Sister Zhu, you don’t have to worry about the morale of other film crew members.

Not all photography has to be about sharing joys and sorrows.

In fact, for most film workers, all they want is fame and fortune.

If you don't have a reputation, it will be a benefit.

I offer them high salaries and good treatment. They can make more money by filming with me. They will only contradict me if they are stupid.

Of course, when Director Xu selects people, he has already screened them, and people who can contradict him will not be able to join this team.

Therefore, you don’t need to worry about being separated from the masses.

If you stay here with peace of mind, have a good rest, and then go all out to film the show, you will be worthy of me, do you understand?"

Zhu Lin nodded: "I understand, but we won't stay here all the time during the future filming, right? This is a big expense. Is it really cost-effective?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Whether it's cost-effective or not is a matter for me as the director and producer of the film studio. Sister Zhu, you are just an actor. Isn't it a bit... haha."

Zhu Lin sighed: "Okay, that's all you have to say, I don't have anything to say. After all, who wouldn't be happy if I could live comfortably? I'm just worried about overspending."

"Don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I know it well."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said: "As I said, if you really feel sorry for me, just act well and teach me how to act.

This is my first play and it must be a success.

As long as the drama is successful and popular, that's enough for me, whether it's money or not is secondary."

"If you say that, I completely understand." Zhu Lin smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, I also like this drama very much, especially the characters in this drama, and I also want to take this opportunity to have a breakthrough. So, I will do my best this time and I won't let you down, Director Cao!
