Chapter 103: Is this the power of capitalists?!
On the highway, at night, a Mercedes-Benz van.
This configuration is similar to the lineup of the overpass, rainy night, and Maybach from back then.
However, there are no dragons, no Odin, and no pain here; instead, it is filled with joy.
In the pleasant atmosphere and during the joyful time, in the gaps where Jing Tian couldn't see, Reba's gaze would occasionally drift into Li Mo's.
As the vehicles gradually approached the city, there was one thing that needed to be done in advance.
"Sweetie, you have a scene tomorrow. Why don't you leave when you get to the hotel?" Reba earnestly persuaded Jingtian.
This matter is of course about Jing Tian! Now it's time for Jing Tian to step down.
The reason was that Reba knew Jing Tian had a scene to film tomorrow, and in her mind, no one could simply skip such an important event as filming.
Therefore, Reba was confident that Jing Tian would go back early, and her heart was filled with anticipation for the time she would spend alone with Li Mo later.
How could we possibly involve other people?
Unexpectedly, Jing Tian's answer was quite different.
"I'm not going back. I'll ask the director for leave. Don't worry about it, I'll figure something out." Jing Tian took out his phone, waved it, and said with a smile.
Perhaps the group of people were having such a good time that Jing Tian is now a bit carried away, and she really doesn't want to leave this atmosphere.
She doesn't have many friends on set, and many people keep their distance from her because of her status.
So with this kind of atmosphere, she didn't want to leave.
She wished she could be happy like this forever, so she didn't even want to go to her scheduled filming job tomorrow.
Moreover, Li Mo came all this way to see me, and I can't even entertain him because of work tomorrow? That would be so... impolite!
We must fight to the bitter end!
Therefore, Jing Tian, who had already completely convinced himself, had decided at this moment: to take leave! He absolutely had to take leave!
Nobody can stop me!
As Reba watched the increasingly determined expression on Miss Jing Tian's face, she grew more and more anxious.
Yes, you have a solution, but the problem is that Reba's original plan was for you to go to film tomorrow.
If you stop filming now, what am I supposed to do? What about Li Mo? Did we come all this way for nothing?
What to do, what to do?
Reba looked at Li Mo with a bewildered expression, as if asking Li Mo to think of a solution.
Seeing that Reba's good intentions had backfired, Li Mo couldn't blame her.
Actually, Li Mo had already figured things out. Because he had made Reba misunderstand, he needed to find a car to pick him up.
Since she couldn't handle cars, she had no choice but to ask Jing Tian for help, hoping that he could both introduce them and solve the car problem.
Killing two birds with one stone, it's absolutely perfect!
But things went wrong, and Jing Tian refused to leave!
This is so different from her original plan!
"Actually, I'm already very happy that you came to pick me up tonight. It's so late, you must be tired, right? Why don't you go home and rest first..."
"I'm not tired! Don't worry about me!"
Jing Tian even raised his arm and strained to show that he wasn't tired at all.
I clearly didn't sense anything unusual in their words.
Seeing this, Li Mo shook his head helplessly.
This girl can't tell the difference between good and bad words...
"Actually, I'm just a little tired..."
"That's alright, I've already booked a room for you. You can go in and sleep first when we arrive. Dilraba and I will share a room, and we'll start playing as soon as we wake up! We only have time, after all~"
Having already decided to play along to the end, Jing Tian had long planned to get some rest today.
Starting tomorrow morning, I'm going to have all sorts of things planned: delicious food, massage, video games, card games, karaoke, movies... everything!
We must demonstrate the strength of the host country!
Li Mo's plan was to stay here for one day and two nights, that is, tonight and tomorrow, and then fly directly to Mongolia after that.
His schedule is fixed.
Dilraba's scenes were already finished, so she had plenty of time; she could take a month, let alone a day.
As for Jing Tian, she is currently making a phone call to the director right in front of Li Mo, asking him to help coordinate the time.
It's important to understand that it's not unusual for actors to take leave.
But taking leave at the last minute is unusual, since filming schedules are all set in advance.
The venue and set design are very expensive every day. What will happen to these sets if you don't shoot today?
In addition to staff, actors, extras, etc., it can be said that the impact on the production team is still very significant, mainly in terms of economic losses.
Therefore, actors who want to join a production must ask for leave in advance, and only after the director approves it.
Only in this way will he be willing to coordinate for you, and it was Jing Tian's way of asking for leave that surprised Li Mo.
It's so easy!
This girl is so carefree!
However, Jing Tian's actions didn't stop there. Li Mo witnessed what pure capitalist tactics were all about.
"Yes, in addition to the salary paid by the production team, I personally pay an extra portion for all the staff and extras."
"Then I will also bear the costs of the venue, equipment, etc. that I lost."
"As for the actors who were affected, it seems like there aren't any major problems in our group, right? Just tell them it's due to my personal reasons, and I'm truly sorry!"
Jing Tian then hung up the phone, and the cost of the trip skyrocketed.
Of course, the amount of money wasn't that outrageous, not tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. In terms of money alone, it wasn't something other actors couldn't afford.
But this attitude of wasting money, along with his status on the set and his attitude towards the director, is what makes him so capitalist.
Who could possibly refuse her request?
Li Mo was truly amazed this time.
Li Mo roughly imagined what Han Han would do if he and Han Han did this.
While it might not warrant replacing him outright, that old guy has no manners and would probably start swearing over the phone.
The previously well-behaved young master has to change his attitude in an instant!
But the director on Jing Tian's phone just now seemed to take Jing Tian's request for leave for granted.
Dilraba gained a real sense of the vast differences in the world, as she was heavily criticized when she was filming.
As a result... even though she knew it all along, every time she sees it, she still feels that capital is still the best.
"Um, actually I never take leave, you can ask me if you don't believe me!"
Jing Tian made a point of explaining to Li Mo, not wanting to leave others with the impression that he was always acting like a big shot and being willful.
"Yes, Sweetie never takes a day off, but you managed to catch her on her first try. Aren't you happy?"
Hot Bar expressed her utter despair.
"Of course I'm happy, but I have to thank Reba for this. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to meet her..."
When Reba heard Li Mo say that, she didn't know what to say and actually felt a little guilty.
I feel like I haven't managed to balance my relationships with my friends and boyfriend.
"Ding-dong~"
Dilraba's phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Li Mo.
Don't lock the door tonight, I'm coming over!
Reba probably imagined it in her mind for a moment, and thought, "Hmm, this is a bit dangerous."
He and Jing Tian were lying in bed when, around midnight, Li Mo slipped into the room…
Then Jing Tian seemed to hear some strange noise in his sleep, and when he turned over to look... No, no, he couldn't continue like this.
No, no, if Tian Tian sees this, I'll be so ashamed!
Reba immediately replied to Li Mo.
"Ding-dong~"
This time, Li Mo's phone rang. After glancing at it, Li Mo realized that he might not have explained himself clearly.
Li Mo's plan was to separate the two of them and have them sleep in separate rooms.
So Li Mo continued typing:
[Just find an excuse later, and you two can stay in separate rooms... If you're not in the same room, she won't find out.]
"Ding-dong~"
When Reba saw the message from Li Mo, she thought it was indeed a good idea.
Although the time he and Li Mo spent together had changed from being relaxed and enjoyable to feeling like they were being swindled.
But undeniably, this approach has created a different feeling.
OK!
"Ding-dong~"
Li Mo: [Okay!]
"Ding-dong~"
Just as Reba was about to watch, Jing Tian poked his head out from behind and added:
"Are your phones keeping a beat? One beat each, one beat each..."
Li Mo and Reba then stopped whispering to avoid being discovered by Jing Tian.
The three's first stop was a hotel. Jing Tian booked a four-star hotel, which is also a place where many well-funded film crews or big stars land and rest.
Jing Tian had originally only booked one presidential suite, which was reserved for Li Mo so that he could rest and put his luggage there.
As for Jing Tian and Reba, at that time Jing Tian was actually thinking about filming the next day and wanted to go back with Reba.
However, since we don't plan to go back now, that room is no longer suitable.
"I'd like to book another room..."
"Hello, I'm sorry, we don't have any suites of the same standard available..."
"That apartment will do too!"
"OK!"
Jing Tian didn't care; the hotel she stayed at on set might not be as nice as this one.
She was willing to endure the hardships of acting, so she didn't try to be unconventional; she simply followed the production team's standards completely.
This is also what Reba hopes for. To be honest, if both of them drive presidential suites, Reba will probably have to drive one too.
Even though Li Mo was there to support her, she still felt very sorry for him.
But now it's just a regular suite, so it doesn't matter. Not losing money is the same as making a profit. Dilraba even feels like she's made money.
"Wait a minute! Open two rooms!"
Jing Tian turned around and looked at Reba, his expression saying: ? ? ? Why?
Reba smiled sheepishly at Jing Tian, then whispered something in her ear:
"Let's get some rest so we can have lots of fun tomorrow!"
"But I want to hold you while I sleep, you're a very sleepy person!"
Li Mo listened from the side, both agreeing with and criticizing Jing Tian's words!
I agree that it's really easy to sleep on. It has a lot of flesh on its body, and it's all in the right places. It's soft and comfortable to hug.
What I disagree with is that it's mine! Mine!
Besides, you don't even have the tools to commit the crime, so why are you being so ambiguous...?
Most importantly, you took mine, and you're not going to give me one in return...
Therefore, in response to Jing Tian's ambiguous words, Li Mo replied directly:
"No, you two have to break up. I have depression, listen to me!"
"Don't talk nonsense! If we live together, we'll definitely chat, and who knows when we'll go to sleep. So for the sake of tomorrow, let's separate!"
Reba's explanation is reasonable, because the two of them do indeed love to chat.
Especially since she met a new friend today, Jing Tian will definitely talk to her about her feelings and Li Mo's information.
Since it was reasonable, Jing Tian naturally agreed.
However, with one presidential suite and two suites, how to divide them among three people is a problem.
Li Mo's opinion is: Give it to Reba! Because she has shed blood for the club, and Li Mo will most likely be there tonight!
Jing Tian's opinion is: Give it to Li Mo! Because Li Mo is a guest today, and this was originally opened for Li Mo.
Dilraba's opinion is: Give it to Jing Tian! Because she was tricked quite badly today, let her stay somewhere nice.
The three remained deadlocked, but in the end, Li Mo stayed in the presidential suite.
All I can say is that this presidential suite was a complete waste!
Li Mo's room was not on the same floor as theirs, so they separated first.
Following the staff, Li Mo arrived at his room.
The entire suite has a total area of 260 square meters and combines multiple functions such as banquet, office, rest and entertainment.
Lying on the 2.2-meter-wide bed, there's no time to appreciate the comfort of the goose down pillows and Egyptian long-staple cotton satin bedding.
Li Mo went straight into the bathroom, filled the bathtub with water, and then took a comfortable bath.
He knew very well that the two of them would need to calm down before they could sleep, so Li Mo wasn't in a hurry to go, lest someone catch him red-handed.
After taking a shower, I ordered a meal at the hotel.
While eating, they enjoyed the pleasure of getting something for free.
After Li Mo finished eating, drinking, and washing up, he sat by the window and sent a message to Reba.
Li Mo: [Daji, Daji, this is King Zhou. Please reply upon receiving this!]
Hotba: [Sweating/Emoji, King Zhou, Daji received!]
Li Mo: [What's the situation? Are the enemy soldiers sound asleep? Is it safe for me to go down now?]
After Li Mo sent that message, Reba didn't reply immediately; she probably went to find out what was going on.
After a while, Reba replied: [Safe! The enemy's doors are locked, and they've locked themselves out!]
After receiving the news, Li Mo changed his clothes and went downstairs. He had a smooth journey and didn't encounter a single person.
"Clang, clang, clang clang."
The knocking sound, accompanied by a specific signal, was not a command to open the door, but rather a signal sent to the bar.
The door wasn't locked at all, and Li Mo pushed it open and entered.
The reason why Li Mo is called Reba Daji is due to Reba's outfit at that time.
Sheer chiffon, shimmering patterned yarn, nine-tailed fox fur tail, pink pom-pom hair accessory, plus a feather fan.
These things had been hidden in Li Mo's box, which he had brought all the way from the capital.
This time it can finally be put to good use.
Dilraba's outfit is alluring and seductive. Her exotic looks and attire exude a hazy, bewitching charm, and the shy blush on her cheeks doesn't seem out of place at all.
On the contrary, it complements the atmosphere of the moment perfectly, possessing a unique charm.
The only thing that betrayed her was her eyes.
Reba glared at Li Mo secretly, her eyes filled with reproach but also helplessness.
Fortunately, otherwise Li Mo would have really thought she was a reincarnated fox spirit.
That's just how Reba is; she never refuses Li Mo, and often acts as if she's both rejecting and welcoming him.
Just now, after Li Mo coughed, Reba bit her lip and glared at him. Seeing his shameless expression, she slowly and seductively spoke:
"Your Majesty!"
