Chapter 884: Matters Concerning Returning to Beijing

”The production teamʼs arrangement is to meet this afternoon to coordinate tomorrowʼs press conference.”

Liu Rulan said, ”Director Yang and we have a pretty good relationship. After you got into such a big mess, he even came to ask about your situation. When you see him this time, you must thank him properly.”

Xiao He nodded: ”Donʼt worry, Sister Liu.”

Then his phone rang at that moment.

Xiao He glanced at it and immediately answered the call.

It turned out to be Caranson.

That is, he was the agent for his royal garden.

The news travels very fast; he had barely arrived in Beijing when the phone rang.

Considering that he had a lot of things to do and was in a hurry, he probably wouldnʼt have enough time to inspect the house. So Xiao He could only keep postponing the house viewing: ”Iʼll leave that to Mr. Carlanson. I trust you can handle it for me.”

Carlansen hadnʼt expected that the owner of such a large garden would keep delaying the purchase, showing no eagerness to view the property. He was momentarily speechless, but quickly understood the nonchalant attitude of the wealthy who regarded mansions as dirt. So he could only reply, ”Mr. Xiao, we have already begun to prepare relevant plans for the garden design and interior design of the Princeʼs Mansion after its renovation. Do you have any special requirements?”

Xiao He: ”Uh—”

To be honest, we havenʼt even seen the house yet, so it doesnʼt feel real at all. If we suddenly asked him what his requirements were, he really couldnʼt say for a while.

However, soon, another big question suddenly popped into Xiao Heʼs mind—

The ”crime base” provided by this system doesnʼt seem to have produced any ”criminal elements” yet.

Is it simply being delivered to the Princeʼs residence?

Somethingʼs not right—

”Did you find anything unusual during your renovation? After all, the house has been sitting for so long, and I donʼt know if anyone else has come and gone over the years. Iʼm still a little worried about the condition inside.”

Xiao He could only offer a tactful reminder.

However, Carlanson was completely unaware of anything unusual and confidently assured him, ”Donʼt worry, Mr. Xiao, this place has been tested and assessed by multiple professional institutions and is within the protected area of ​​the scenic area. It will not be damaged by strangers. It has been in good condition for many years. Itʼs just that the overall buildings and interior still need proper repairs.”

Xiao He pondered for a moment, then simply said, ”I donʼt really like the original garden structure you showed me. Iʼve recently come across some knowledge about feng shui, and the master also said that its shape is somewhat unfavorable to me. So Iʼve decided to completely overturn and rebuild the entire garden. Iʼll leave this matter to you. As for the detailed design, Iʼll ask you to discuss it with the designer and give me a few plans later.”

”Hmm? Mr. Xiao, are you sure?”

Carlanson asked incredulously, ”If we completely tear it down and rebuild, it could cost even more money and time. Are you sure you want to do that?”

Renovation and reconstruction are completely different concepts. Previous garden designs at most added more design elements to the basic structure, such as the direction of water flow in ponds, the structure of paths, and a series of other optimization designs.

However, to overturn it, everything needs to be completely cleared out and rebuilt.

This expenditure truly exemplifies the extreme of ”foolish spending.”

”Yes, you can do it, donʼt worry about anything else.”

Xiao He said calmly.

Since the system pays him, he can squander the money as he pleases.

Most importantly, he wouldnʼt feel at ease until he uncovered the hidden dangers the system had given him.

If you actually move in and then discover something, youʼll be in real trouble.

”Okay, okay.”

Carlanson had no choice but to accept Xiao Heʼs idea. After reporting the current situation of the Princeʼs Garden to Xiao He, he hung up the phone.

Liu Rulan tilted her head slightly and asked Xiao He curiously, ”Since weʼre already here, arenʼt you going to go and take a look? What if we get busy later and we might not even have time to go this year?”

”Letʼs talk about it later. Let them renovate first. Thereʼs nothing to see if we go there now that itʼs dilapidated.”

Xiao He couldnʼt voice his suspicions, so he could only stall for time and wait for Caranson to give him a result.

Liu Rulan shrugged and didnʼt ask any further questions.

...

The next day, National Day arrived.

Despite the declining domestic box office market year after year, cinemas were still quite lively on National Day.

However, the red-themed films, which have become aesthetically tiresome, are actually becoming less appealing at the moment.

After all, audiences nowadays are increasingly disgusted by filmmakers repeatedly using a positive topic as an excuse to make money and exploit the publicʼs sincerity to squeeze money out of them.

As a result, it is obvious that even a subject like ”Snow Ridge Red Road” inevitably features many popular celebrities and young idols, making this subject matter more commercialized and fan-driven, ultimately relying on fans to boost box office and word-of-mouth, and expanding the market to other casual viewers.

Itʼs really nothing. Xiao He already knew when Yang Li approached him that Director Yang was actually after his acting skills and popularity.

He has always been grateful to Director Yang for giving him this opportunity and helping him secure many positive roles.

For example, the public service advertisement for the movie ”Flying Over the Snow Mountain” that Director Yang recommended to him is still an important landmark of the snow mountain near Chengdu. The ski resort, which was not very large to begin with, has become a ”pilgrimage site” for many young ski enthusiasts. And then thereʼs ”Wandering Through Mountains and Rivers,” which helped Xiao He break away from the ”villain” image in the publicʼs mind and added a bit of ”humanity.”

These are all good boosts for development.

So when Xiao He met Director Yang Li backstage, he expressed his gratitude to Director Yang very solemnly.

Director Yang smiled and didnʼt say much, but patted Xiao He on the shoulder as encouragement.

To Xiao Heʼs surprise, the male lead of ”Snow Ridge Red Road” actually came over to inquire about his situation and apologize to him.

This is a senior named Yue An.

Xiao He quickly retrieved relevant information about him from his memory.

It seems that because Yue An and Yun Ziqi had a good relationship, and Yun Ziqi had tried to sow discord between Yue An and Yun Ziqi before leaving the crew, his attitude towards Xiao He wasnʼt very good when they worked together.

However, Xiao He wasnʼt very angry.

At that time, Yue An only had a bad attitude, but did not do anything to harm him. Even during filming, she was very responsible and did not take the opportunity to make Xiao He roll around in the snow a few more times. From this, you can see that she is a person who has clear likes and dislikes, but will not let her emotions and thoughts affect her work. She is a person who is responsible for her work.

So when this senior offered an apology, Xiao He simply waved his hand and said that he had long forgotten about it. Then he smiled and continued chatting with Yue An, thus completely letting the matter drop.

After Yue An, other members of the crew came one after another to greet Xiao He, and Xiao He responded to each of them.

However, the question about Xiang Sheng Hao will likely be the most popular topic of conversation when people meet Xiao He in the near future.

Xiao He was already adept at changing the subject.

Soon, ”The Red Path to the Snowy Mountains” was officially released in theaters.
