Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

"Thank you."

Xiao Yingyue took it with both hands and expressed her gratitude again.

Jin Yinghui smiled and asked, "Where are you going to find your dad?"

"Ok!"

Xiao Yingyue nodded vigorously. She planned to ask for leave from the school leaders the next day before going to school and go to the Northwest Farm to inquire about her father's news.

Jin Yinghui looked hesitant and wanted to say something but stopped himself several times. He wanted to go there together. After all, he was familiar with the place and knew the steep cliff where Xiao Zhifei disappeared. It would definitely be better than for a little girl like Xiao Yingyue to search blindly.

But the factory leader where he works now doesn't like him in every way and can find fault with him even when there is nothing wrong with him. He will definitely not agree to his request for leave unless he doesn't want to do this job anymore.

Although this crappy job is dirty and tiring, and the salary is pitifully low, barely enough to maintain his basic life, he still has to do it.

Without this job, he wouldn't even be able to fill his stomach.

Xia Qingqing glanced at him and asked with a smile: "Master Jin, excuse me, how much is your current salary?"

Jin Yinghui's expression changed and he looked unhappy, thinking that Xia Qingqing was deliberately mocking him.

"Don't think too much. I just think it's a pity that Master Jin is so talented and works in this place. I want to invite you to work in my company. It will definitely be cleaner and more respectable than your current job, and you can give full play to your talents."

Xia Qingqing saw through his thoughts. A talented but down-and-out genius, sensitive and suspicious, he probably thought that she was mocking him by asking that question just now, right?

"You're so young and you've already started a company? What kind of company is it?"

Shui Lihua looked surprised, yet a little skeptical.

Xia Qingqing looks to be in her twenties at most. How could she be capable of being a boss?

"Of course it's a film and television company. You two are both talented in the film and television industry. If you are willing, you can come to work in my company. The salary will definitely satisfy you!"

Xia Qingqing originally planned to open a film and television company, one to promote Xiao Yingyue, and the other to reap the profits from the film and television industry.

However, her film and television company had to be registered in Hong Kong, and Xia Mingchen would be the legal representative, so her identity was not suitable.

The current system in the inland does not allow private film and television companies. The filming and distribution of movies are all handled by state-owned units. She remembered that the first private film and television company in the inland in her previous life was founded by a comedy master, Mr. Chen, who made several excellent comedy movies.

It’s a pity that Mr. Chen’s character is too straightforward. For some reason, he was shelved for many years. He never performed a comedy again and switched to acting in dramas, where he also achieved extraordinary success.

Xia Qingqing also went to the relevant departments to inquire, but no matter what method she used, it didn't work. There was only one way, which was to register a film and television company in Hong Kong, and then form a joint venture with the mainland to make a movie.

This is how many excellent films co-produced by mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan appeared in the 1980s.

Jin Yinghui and Shui Lihua exchanged glances. They were in a complicated mood. They hoped that what Xia Qingqing said was true, but they were also afraid that she was lying and made them happy for nothing.

“Are private film and television companies allowed now?”

After Jin Yinghui was overjoyed, he soon discovered the loophole and felt as if a large basin of cold water had been poured over his heart, leaving him feeling very cold.

Shui Lihua also reacted, the smile on her face disappeared, and she sighed softly. Her favorite chicken and duck blood soup also lost its taste.

Xia Qingqing shook her head, "Not allowed."

The two felt even bleaker in their hearts, for they knew that with their bad luck, there would be no such thing as pie falling from the sky.

"It can't be done inland, but it can be done in the port city. Moving a tree will kill it, but moving a person will live. All the solutions are invented by people!"

Xia Qingqing said slowly and scooped a spoonful of soup to drink.

The two people with gloomy expressions suddenly seemed to be recharged with electricity. Their whole bodies glowed brightly, and their eyes were brighter than light bulbs.

"Can you go to Hong Kong?"

Jin Yinghui asked in a low voice.

"Yes, my grandfather and her grandfather are both over there. We will go there to visit them next year and set up a company while we're there. Then we can come to the mainland to make movies and you can show off your skills to your heart's content!"

Xia Qingqing drew a big, fragrant and round pancake.

"I want to make movies in the future, and then I'll learn from you!" Xiao Yingyue said with a smile.

"Our film studio has cooperated with Hong Kong City to make movies before, but it was not my turn, Comrade Xia. You don't know that there are many actors better than me in the film studio. There are too many people and too little porridge. Even if you ask me to cooperate, the film studio will not agree."

After Shui Lihua was overjoyed, she thought of the harsh reality and her face instantly turned gloomy.

"Your leader can't be so stubborn, right?" Xiao Yingyue found it unbelievable.

"She is so stubborn. Last year, we worked with Hong Kong City to make a movie. Hong Kong City specifically wanted a certain actress, but the film studio held a meeting and decided not to allow this actress to film. They sent another actress, but Hong Kong City was not satisfied.

We strongly requested the original one, but the film studio was very firm in its attitude. Either they would use the actress sent by the studio, or they would not cooperate. As a result, Gang Cheng went to other film studios to find an actress with a similar image and temperament, and they refused to cooperate with our film studio! "

Shui Lihua said something that sounded absurd, but it was true.

"Why didn't the factory leaders want to send the actress mentioned above?" Xiao Yingyue asked in confusion.

"The film studio publicly said that the actress had a low level of ideological awareness and had made mistakes before. The real reason was that the actress was not favored by the leadership. The other actress was very good at handling things and had a good relationship with the leadership in the studio."

Shui Lihua's expression became even more sarcastic. She really, really hated this damn social convention. Just act, why bother dealing with interpersonal relationships and flattering others?

Grass...damn it!

Jin Yinghui sneered, "The bureaucracy in the film studio is extremely serious. The truly capable people are squeezed out, and the only ones left are flatterers."

"If we keep doing this, it will fail sooner or later!"

Xiao Yingyue concluded angrily, but was secretly glad that she had Sister Qingqing and would not have to work in such a unit in the future, otherwise she would definitely not survive a single episode.

"It's dead now. Unless there's a change in leadership, yellowing is inevitable."

Shui Lihua sighed deeply. She had deep feelings for the film studio and really hoped that it would get better.

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. It's not your turn to worry about the film studio. Screenwriter Jin, what do you think?"

Xia Qingqing took the conversation back and said that no matter how bad the film studio was, it would not fail with so many years of accumulation. In addition, in a few years, the film studio would be full of vitality again and produce many excellent films.

"You won't start your company until next year, so it's useless for me to have ideas now."

Jin Yinghui's tone softened. He really wanted to do his job. He didn't want to stay in this shabby shoe factory for even a day.

"As long as you have the idea, I will take care of the rest. So, if you resign now, I will give you your salary today. How much is your current salary?"

“Basically around 20 yuan.”

Jin Yinghui was confused by Xia Qingqing's swift and decisive action and answered honestly.

He is slow and doesn't work as fast as others, even faster than the female workers. His salary is the lowest in the factory.
