So he had to reward Wang Shu, the great contributor.
Wang Shu was also reluctantly pulled into the office by the old station manager.
He sat on the sofa with a look of utter despair.
"Wang Shu, I am very satisfied with your performance today. You've brought honor to our TV station. Tell me, what reward do you want? I'll agree to anything!"
The station manager sat on the sofa, with his legs crossed, speaking leisurely, a stark contrast to his usual image-conscious demeanor.
"Station Manager, if I say I want a million, can you give it to me?"
Wang Shu knew the man was drunk, so he smiled and said directly.
"A million? No!"
The old station manager shook his head directly.
"A million is too little. I'll give you ten million!"
The old station manager immediately said, then closed his eyes and fell asleep on the sofa.
Only then did Wang Shu truly understand that the old man was indeed very drunk.
However, he couldn't leave now. After all, the old man was aging, and now he was drunk.
If anything were to happen, it would be hard to say. So he directly called 120 and sent the old man to the hospital.
After seeing the doctor give the old man an IV drip to sober him up, Wang Shu quietly left the hospital.
Upon returning to the hotel, Xiao Su looked at Wang Shu with curiosity. She hadn't seen her boss all day.
She didn't know what Wang Shu had been busy with. She was an assistant, but she felt like she had a very easy job.
After returning to the hotel, Wang Shu took a shower and looked for clean clothes to change into.
However, after searching his suitcase for a long time, he couldn't find any clothes.
"Xiao Su, where are my clothes?"
Wang Shu asked Xiao Su with a bewildered look.
"Boss, I saw that the clothes in your suitcase were a bit moldy today, so I washed them all. They're not dry yet."
Xiao Su replied with her head down, feeling awkward.
Because Wang Shu was standing in front of her wrapped only in a bath towel, she was probably the first person to see Wang Shu not wearing clothes.
"I'm really impressed with you, you old rascal. I washed the clothes I was wearing just now too. Never mind, there's nothing else to do today anyway."
Wang Shu said helplessly, then closed his room door.
Xiao Su also felt guilty, then ran out of the hotel and found a counter at a mall, buying a new set of clothes for Wang Shu.
Then she hung the new clothes on Wang Shu's door.
The next morning, Wang Shu stretched and opened his door, and saw a designer bag hanging on his door.
Wang Shu curiously took down the bag and found a brand new set of clothes inside.
There was also a small note, which read: "I'm sorry, boss. It was my oversight. Please wear these clothes for now!"
"This little girl is really cute!"
Wang Shu shook his head helplessly, then glanced at the tag on the clothes, realizing that this set of clothes cost over eight thousand yuan.
He was speechless. Xiao Su, a mere intern, bought him a set of clothes for eight thousand yuan. Did her family own a mine?
"Xiao Su, get up!"
Wang Shu walked directly to Xiao Su's door and knocked, shouting.
A moment later, Xiao Su opened the door with sleepy eyes, looking at Wang Shu in confusion and saying:
"Good morning, boss! Is something wrong?"
"Are you too rich? You can buy me clothes, but why buy such expensive ones? I usually wear clothes that cost twenty yuan. How many years would I have to wear them to match the price of this one!"
Wang Shu said with a heartache.
"Boss, aren't these clothes very ordinary? And I bought them with my pocket money, you don't have to pay for it!"
Seeing Wang Shu's distressed look, Xiao Su explained directly.
"Pocket money? You have so much pocket money?"
Wang Shu was suddenly stunned and scrutinized the young girl in front of him.
He hadn't paid attention before, but now he realized that his little assistant was actually a little rich woman.
The seemingly ordinary pajamas she was wearing were from the same brand as the set he had bought her for over eight thousand yuan.
"It's not that much. My dad gives me fifty thousand a month..."
Xiao Su replied in a low voice.
"Good heavens, fifty thousand a month, and you're working for me? Young lady, you're really humbling me!"
Wang Shu was once again shocked by Xiao Su's words. A girl in her early twenties, with over fifty thousand yuan in pocket money each month.
What kind of family could spend so lavishly!
What was even more outrageous was that this little girl was willing to be his assistant for a few thousand yuan a month. Wasn't this pure self-inflicted suffering?
"Boss, are you angry and going to fire me?"
Seeing Wang Shu's somber expression, Xiao Su's heart trembled, and she worried that Wang Shu would fire her.
"No, I'm just curious. Given your family situation, why are you still interning?"
Wang Shu couldn't help but voice his inner question. He had always been curious, why would someone so wealthy still work for a few thousand yuan a month and be a corporate slave?
"Doesn't everyone have to intern? This is a necessary stage of our lives!"
Xiao Su replied naively.
"Alright, you win. Can these clothes be returned?"
Wang Shu decided not to discuss this further with this rich young lady. Now he just wanted to know if the clothes could be returned, because if they could, he could improve his life.
"Don't you like it? This is the first time I've bought clothes for someone else!"
Hearing Wang Shu ask if the clothes could be returned, Xiao Su's eyes immediately turned red, and she looked at Wang Shu with a wronged expression.
This was the first time she had bought clothes for another boy, and she didn't expect him to want to return them.
"Little sister, can we not cry? I won't return them, okay?"
Wang Shu didn't expect that his words would make his little assistant cry, so he quickly tried to comfort her.
Hearing Wang Shu say he wouldn't return them, Xiao Su's face lit up, and she wiped away her tears with her hand.
Afterward, Wang Shu returned to his room and put on the clothes Xiao Su had bought him.
Actually, Wang Shu never understood why clothes were sold so expensively. A watch worth tens of yuan and a Rolex worth millions both told the same time.
A tens-yuan Pinduoduo set and this eight-thousand-yuan set were both just clothes to wear, with no substantial difference.
Yet, the difference between them was so huge.
However, he had to admit that his little assistant had good taste.
Wearing this outfit, he clearly looked much better than in his Pinduoduo set.
After changing, Wang Shu and Xiao Su went downstairs for breakfast.
Last night, Zhang Yimou had told him that the filming at Longdao Film City was almost done.
Now they could proceed with location scouting in Jiangnan.
Wang Shu had directly asked them to bring a few of the lead actors to Hangcheng. He had also reported his filming needs to He Guang last night.
He Guang had directly agreed to Wang Shu's request and promised to fully cooperate with the crew's requirements.
So, after breakfast, Wang Shu and Xiao Su went to Hangcheng Airport to pick up Zhang Yimou and his group.
...
"Baoqiang, Yimou, long time no see!"
At the airport, Wang Shu greeted the large group walking towards him.
"Boss, I missed you!"
Wang Baoqiang directly hugged Wang Shu and said sincerely.
"Boss, don't you miss your little fan?"
Du Xiaomin jumped out from the crowd and asked Wang Shu.
Wang Shu shook his head directly.
"Hmph! I'm going on strike!"
Seeing Wang Shu shake his head, Du Xiaomin pouted angrily and said.
"Who is this?"
Xiao Su, standing beside them, asked somewhat awkwardly.
"This is just a little fan, and also a little employee. From now on, they are all your subordinates!"
Wang Shu said directly to Xiao Su.
"Who is she? Does she know you earlier than I do?"
Du Xiaomin said with some jealousy after hearing Wang Shu's words.
"Let me introduce you, this is my assistant, Xiao Su. When I first started the show, she was my temporary manager!"
Wang Shu put his arm around Xiao Su's shoulder and introduced her to everyone.
"These are the veterans of my film and television company. Now you are all colleagues!"
Wang Shu then pointed to Zhang Yimou, Wang Baoqiang, and the others, and said to Xiao Su.
Xiao Su nodded, indicating she understood.
"Wang Shu, the car is waiting outside the airport. Hurry up!"
As they were chatting, He Guang's phone call came in.
Wang Shu directly led his team outside the airport and saw He Guang waiting for them.
"You kid are so slow. Get in the car quickly!"
Seeing Wang Shu, He Guang said with a smile.
"Damn, boss, your connections are really impressive!"
Zhang Yimou looked at the car behind He Guang and couldn't help but admire Wang Shu.
"Salute, Commander!"
The retired soldiers behind Wang Shu quickly saluted He Guang when they saw him.
"Not bad!"
He Guang said with a smile, looking at Wang Shu.
He originally thought Wang Shu would cast a bunch of effeminate pretty boys, but he didn't expect him to actually find a few retired soldiers.
Based on this alone, his impression of Wang Shu's drama improved significantly.
"Everyone, hurry up and get in the car. Let's try to start filming today!"
Zhang Yimou directly called out to everyone behind him to get in the car.
"Officer He, I'll leave these people to you. Our drama must be filmed well!"
Seeing that everyone was in the car, Wang Shu gave He Guang a proper military salute and said.
"Don't worry, this is our collaborative work. I will definitely ensure their work goes smoothly!"
This was the first time He Guang had seen Wang Shu so serious. He returned Wang Shu's salute and promised with a smile, patting his chest.
