Chapter 53 Pisces
Chapter 53 Pisces
Lu Yuan walked in with a smile in her eyes.
It's clear she's in a good mood.
"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry, I had some urgent business to attend to. You must be bored being alone, how about I go for a walk with you?"
Xia Xue smiled and shook her head, picked up her orange juice, and raised her glass to Lu Yuan, who was sitting opposite her.
"I'm not interested in scenery. Staying at home and chatting is just fine for me."
Lu Yuan snapped her fingers and said to Butler Mo, who was walking over, "A Coke, please."
Then, looking at Xia Xue casually, he asked, "If you're not interested in scenery, what are you interested in?"
Xia Xue looked up at Lu Yuan: "People!"
Lu Yuan took the cola from Butler Mo: "A person? Haha, a man? Xiaoxue has someone she likes? Which one? Let me give you some advice."
Xia Xue raised an eyebrow.
Lu Yuan's inner thoughts actually overlapped with what she said aloud.
Be true to yourself.
It's really high quality.
Xia Xue sighed inwardly.
He lowered his head, took a sip of orange juice, shook his head, and corrected:
"Not a man, but a person."
Lu Yuan took a sip of cola before she understood what Xia Xue meant.
"People? Interested in people, interesting." The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more interesting she found the sentence, as if there were unspeakable and inexhaustible words hidden in it, and she laughed heartily twice.
"You're sitting here now because you're interested in me, huh?"
Xia Xue took another sip of orange juice and nodded generously.
"If I wasn't interested in you, I wouldn't have ridden my motorcycle all this way to see you, would I?"
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "You came to me to talk about collaboration, about filming a short drama, not..." Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yuan seemed to realize something and shook her head, "That's true, being interested in people isn't just about that. I was being superficial."
Xia Xue raised the orange juice and said with a smile, "It's not that you're shallow, it's just that all you can think about right now is love and romance, and you can't think of anything else."
Lu Yuan glared at Xia Xue.
"You're making me sound like I'm love-struck."
Xia Xue gestured with her eyes and said, "You haven't introduced that one yet."
Lu Yuan rolled her eyes at Xia Xue, annoyed.
"Your way of changing the subject is really awkward. Next time you don't know what to say, you can just stay silent. You don't need to force conversation."
However, Lu Yuan still followed up on Xia Xue's topic and replied, "That family's surname is Yu. The Yu family is not very famous in Jiangcheng, but it is a family with a long history. Although they keep a low profile, their strength should not be underestimated."
Is it a Xuanmen (mystical sect) force that is passed down through family, like the Shen family of Huangliang?
Xia Xue nodded thoughtfully, about to say something, when suddenly her expression changed and she turned to look at the sky outside the French windows.
"The feng shui formation has been activated?"
Then he turned his head to look in a certain direction of Gu Garden.
"A mystical technique even more powerful than the Yellow Millet Dream has been activated."
Completely unaware of all this, Lu Yuan continued with the previous topic. As if she had thought of something, she said, "Right, I seem to remember that they also have a very strange name, the Pisces Yu Clan, or something like that."
Xia Xue's pupils instantly contracted.
Pisces, time travel, jade pendant.
"I see."
One is the Pisces Yu clan, which allows people to "travel through time," and the other is the Huangliang Shen clan, which allows people to "reborn."
Haha, this world is really getting more and more interesting.
Xia Xue turned to look at the bamboo grove at the far end of Gu Garden and asked, "Who built Gu Garden?"
Lu Yuan sipped her cola and casually said, "Gu Garden, Gu Garden, of course it was built by the Gu family."
It seems that the mysterious cultivation force that is well-versed in feng shui is the Gu family.
Xia Xue withdrew her gaze from the bamboo forest.
That bamboo grove, like the lake in Jingyuan, is the central point of a grand feng shui formation.
At this moment, there should be a mastermind manipulating the feng shui formation.
Just like last night.
One person was performing mystical arts, and another was manipulating a grand formation.
However, unlike the Xie family's feng shui formation, it does not involve a person's fortune, but rather a different kind of fortune.
"A kind of impersonal fortune, a fortune nurtured by heaven, earth, and humanity, a fortune entrusted to the 'path'."
Those archways are the nodes of the great formation.
It connects roads thousands of miles away.
"What a grand vision!"
Compared to the Xie family, the Gu family had a much broader vision.
Xia Xue picked up the orange juice, took a sip, and concealed the chaotic thoughts between her brows and eyes.
"Moreover, Lu Yuan knows too much."
How could an ordinary family, or even a century-old wealthy family, possibly know these secrets if they weren't in this circle?
"It seems that the Lu family of Hong Kong is no ordinary wealthy family."
Like the Gu family of Jiangcheng, the Shen family of Huangliang, and the Yu family of Shuangyu, they are probably families with backgrounds in Xuan cultivation.
"Indeed, if the Lu family and the Gu family were not a good match, why would they have arranged a marriage?"
Moreover, it's an arranged marriage that's already been phased out by the times.
I suppose only those conservative mystical cultivation forces would do this.
Lu Yuan ended the topic and got down to business.
"There are three options for our collaboration: one is for me to join Dawn directly, the second is for us to jointly establish a company, and the third is for me to establish a company and for our two companies to jointly produce the product."
Xia Xue didn't care about the company and didn't think much about it, so she directly chose the joint production that seemed to be the most equal option for both parties.
Lu Yuan's smile grew even brighter.
"Xiaoxue, be straightforward. As long as your funds are in place, we can start up anytime."
Xia Xue asked in surprise, "You have someone with you?"
What was the most troublesome thing for Xia Xue was the simplest thing for Lu Yuan.
"You think I spent the last two years making documentaries for nothing? It's just a short drama crew; I can assemble one for you in a minute."
Lu Yuan proudly raised her head and said confidently.
Xia Xue gave a thumbs up.
"sharp!"
He then said, "The funding is simple, the issuance..."
Lu Yuan waved her hand.
"You handle the distribution yourself; I'll just focus on filming."
Xia Xue shrugged and said, "Chenxi has its own distribution channels, so let's just hand it over to Chenxi."
She couldn't be bothered to care.
Lu Yuan asked, "You said you were choosing an IP, how's the selection going?"
Xia Xue thought of the massive IP database Xia Yao had given her the day before yesterday, and chuckled twice, saying, "There are too many. I'm selecting them now."
Lu Yuan looked at Xia Xue with envy and said, "Back then, why didn't I think about acquiring some IPs? Now that I want to make a TV series, I found out that even a slightly better IP costs tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is ten times more than when they acquired IPs. They're just treating me like a leek to be harvested."
It's not that she can't afford the money; she's just upset and unwilling to pay it.
"When do we turn on the machine?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "After you choose the IP, you still need to adapt the script. I can find people to form a production team so that it can be done at the same time. All in all, it will take at least a week."
A week?
The speed is ok.
Xia Xue nodded and said, "I'll give you the original tonight."
Lu Yuan liked Xia Xue's straightforwardness.
"Okay, then, it'll be a pleasure working together."
Lu Yuan raised her Coke and made a toast gesture.
"It's a pleasure working with you."
Xia Xue raised her glass of orange juice and clinked glasses with Lu Yuan, officially finalizing the collaboration.
At the same time, the mystical arts finally came to an end, and the feng shui formation fell silent once again. Outside the window, the sky was clear and bright, as if nothing had happened.
Xia Xue turned her head and looked in the direction where the mystical technique had just erupted.
Raise a glass of orange juice and offer my heartfelt wishes from the bottom of my heart.
Goodbye, Jiang Ruyue. May you find peace, happiness, and well-being in another world.
