"Haha, have you forgotten our Paradise Island?"
Ding Ning said in a low voice with a weird smile. After all, Sun Lanying did not know the existence of Paradise Island, so he had to be careful when talking.
"Paradise Island?"
Xiaoyao blinked her eyes and said with a confused face. She really could not understand the relationship between the cinema and Paradise Island.
"I know. It's the decoration, the sound, the light, and the visual enjoyment formed by the beautiful scenery to attract those consumers to watch movies."
Wen Rourou also did not understand at first, but when she saw Ding Ning's somewhat complacent smile, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind, and she cried out in surprise.
Ye Huan and the others immediately came to their senses, and a look of surprise flashed in their beautiful eyes. Ye Le clapped her hands and said, "I know, too. Take Paradise Island as an example. It has a superb environment, a superb visual feast, and a superb movie-watching experience. Even ordinary people who don't have a lot of spending power will be willing to spend some of their meager wages to watch movies."
Only Sun Lanying did not understand, and she was at a loss. "What Paradise Island? What is that place? "
"I see. But even so, it is only a temporary novelty at most, and it is impossible to attract people to watch movies for a long time."
Xiaoyao was extremely rational. Although she felt that this method could attract many people to watch movies in a short time for novelty, people would get tired of watching movies one day after all.
"This is only a part of it. I said that I have my own plans, and I will tell you the details when the time comes."
Ding Ning kept them guessing, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the girls. If Song Ziyi had not come in with a straight face, perhaps they would have started to "severely" criticize him.
"Miss Song, please sit down!"
With a gentle smile on his face, Ding Ning stood up politely and made a gesture of "please".
Although Ding Ning did not drive them away, the girls tactfully took the initiative to leave. In their minds, Song Ziyi was the prey targeted by Ding Ning, and she would become their sister sooner or later, so there was no need to be jealous.
When Song Ziyi saw the girls leave one after another after an ambiguous glance at her, her heart suddenly tightened, and she became vigilant. She folded her arms and looked at Ding Ning coldly. "What on earth do you want?"
Ding Ning was also confused, and he said with a wry smile, "Do I look like a bad guy?"
"Humph! I've seen a lot of animals in human skin like you. Don't think that you can do whatever you want to me just because you saved my life. Now, let go of my brother and sister-in-law. Otherwise, I'll call the police right now. "
Song Ziyi subconsciously kept a safe distance from Ding Ning, held the phone, and said fiercely.
Looking at Song Ziyi's vigilant look, Ding Ning felt tired. He waved his hand weakly and said, "Forget it. Since you think I'm such a despicable and shameless person, I won't bother to explain to you. Now I'll call the police station."
"You … What do you want? I know you have power and the police can't do anything to you. But let me tell you, if you dare to hurt my brother, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost. "
Song Ziyi obviously misunderstood him and thought that he had run out of patience and was about to call the kidnappers to kill the hostages, so he threatened in panic.
Ding Ning didn't bother to explain to her. This woman's imagination was too rich. He dialed the phone and pressed the speakerphone. "Nuonuo, haven't you gotten the statements of Song Ziwen and his girlfriend?"
Song Ziyi trembled all over. Statements? What statements? A trace of suspicion appeared on her face. She really couldn't understand what secret her brother knew and needed to get a statement.
"It'll be done soon. I was about to call you. Bring Song Ziyi over to pick them up now. By the way, they haven't eaten yet. Bring them something to eat when you come."
Xiao Nuo's steady voice came from the phone, which made Song Ziyi feel like she was struck by lightning. Her eyes widened and her cherry mouth opened into a cute O shape. Her mind was in a mess and her expression was dull.
She had seen Xiao Nuo and knew that she was the police officer responsible for investigating her accident. Didn't this mean that her brother and future sister-in-law were not kidnapped, but Ding Ning was wrongly accused?
"Okay, I'll bring her over now."
Ding Ning simply hung up the phone. Seeing Song Ziyi staring at him in a daze, he teasingly smiled and said, "Now you know how despicable and shameless I am?"
"I … that … I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. But, isn't my brother in Yan Jing? Why is he in Ninghai Police Station? "
Song Ziyi's pretty face turned red. She stammered an apology and asked with a face full of confusion.
"Let's talk on the way."
Ding Ning reached out to pick up the fur coat and put it on. Although he had long been immune to cold and heat, if he wore thin clothes on such a cold day, he would inevitably be regarded as a monster.
"Okay, wait for me. I'll go get the coat and bag."
Although Song Ziyi was confused and didn't know what was going on, she understood that something she didn't know must have happened for her brother to come to Ninghai from Yan Jing. She didn't pester him and simply stood up to get the things.
Ding Ning looked at her beautiful back with appreciation. Although this woman sometimes had a big imagination, she still had the vigilance she should have.
Moreover, she was unstained by the mud and always maintained the integrity and kindness in her heart. She dared to fight against the evil forces and never compromised easily, which was especially rare and valuable in the entertainment circle with all kinds of people. This made him feel very gratified. The woman he liked really didn't let him down.
While Song Ziyi was getting the coat, Ding Ning said goodbye to Xiaoyao and others and asked Luoxue to send two boxed lunches. Ignoring the eager eyes of Manager Pan and Cheng Wenhai, he directly drove to the police station with Song Ziyi.
The Xingfu Road Community was a middle-to-low-end residential community in Ninghai. Because it was developed earlier, the community was filled with old-fashioned buildings from the 1980s and 1990s, and the highest floor was only seven floors. Against the backdrop of the surrounding skyscrapers, it looked extremely shabby and shabby.
A middle-aged man with a protruding mouth and ape-like cheeks paced back and forth in front of a building in the community with an interview bag on his back. The ground was already covered with cigarette butts. Fortunately, it was an old community with unregulated property management, otherwise the security guard at the door would have driven him away as a thief.
It was unknown when it started to drizzle. Although the temperature in January had not reached zero degrees Celsius, it was only a few degrees above zero degrees Celsius.
The middle-aged man shivered from the cold and stamped his feet. Wrapping his leather jacket tightly around his body, he jogged to hide under a tree outside the wall of the community to avoid the rain. He cursed in a low voice. He didn't know whether he was cursing the damned weather or the phone call that made him come out in the middle of the night to suffer this foreign punishment.
But he had been a paparazzi for so many years. In order to get first-hand entertainment news, he had suffered all kinds of hardships, so this coldness was nothing to him. At the thought of the thick stack of banknotes, all the grievances in his heart disappeared, and his small eyes sparkled with joy.
Time passed by. Just as his eyelids became heavy and drowsy, he desperately rubbed his face and lit a cigarette to dispel his sleepiness. Suddenly, the car lights at the entrance of the community flashed, making him instantly refreshed. He stood up and greeted them.
The taxi stopped in front of the building. A moment later, Sister Hua opened the door from the back seat and took the change from the taxi driver. She got out of the car in a daze and walked into the building with her head lowered.
"Sister Hua."
With a humble smile on his face, the middle-aged man nodded and bowed to greet her.
Even though the sensor lights in the building were on, Sister Hua, who was full of depression, was startled by the sudden man's voice and screamed. She covered her chest and looked at him with a face full of horror. Trembling, she asked, "You … Who are you? What do you want? "
The middle-aged man's mouth twitched and he cursed in his heart. "You're old and your pearls have turned yellow. Do you really think that I'm interested in you?" However, a flattering smile appeared on his face. "Sister Hua, it's me. I'm the gossip reporter, Zhang Youcai."
"Oh, it's you, Xiao Zhang. Why are you here? You really scared me to death. "
Sister Hua tilted her head and carefully looked at Zhang Youcai under the light. After confirming that he was really someone she knew, she was relieved. She patted her not plump chest with lingering fear and asked with a face full of doubt. Her eyes were already filled with vigilance.
"I came to find Sister Hua for something. Can we find a place to talk?"
Zhang Youcai said with a flattering smile. His originally protruding mouth and monkey cheeks looked extremely wretched.
As a manager, Sister Hua naturally had to deal with entertainment reporters. She had a little impression of this Zhang Youcai. He was indeed working at the gossip magazine. However, they only knew each other and were not even familiar with each other. She didn't know why he was waiting for her in front of her house in the middle of the night.
Could it be that he wanted to inquire about Song Ziyi? But that couldn't be right. There were so many reporters in the afternoon. The news that Song Ziyi was safe and sound had already been published on the evening newspaper and the Internet. This made her heart flutter. She realized that Zhang Youcai's intention might not be simple.
Although she was no longer Song Ziyi's manager, this news had not been spread out yet. When facing a nameless paparazzi, she subconsciously put on her usual airs and said arrogantly and impatiently, "Why can't you go to the company tomorrow? Why do you have to wait in front of my house in the middle of the night? If this gets out, how can I live with myself?"
The corner of Zhang Youcai's mouth twitched again. He scolded in his heart, "Do you really think you're somebody? You're just lucky to be Song Ziyi's manager. If you begged me to interview you in the past, I wouldn't even bother to look for you. Why are you putting on airs in front of me?"
However, he didn't dare to show it on his face. He put on an even more humble smile and bowed like a pug. He nodded and said, "Sister Hua, you're right. Logically speaking, I should go to the company to interview you according to the normal procedure. But with your identity, a small reporter like me is not qualified to interview you at all. That's why I had no choice but to come and wait for you in front of your house. I've wasted some of your precious time. Let me treat you to a coffee shop nearby to warm up."
Although Sister Hua felt very comfortable with this flattery, she suddenly felt annoyed and depressed when she remembered that she was no longer Song Ziyi's manager. Her face turned ugly. "Hurry up and say what you want to say. I don't have time to go to a coffee shop with you to waste my time …"
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Youcai pretended to casually throw the interview bag he was carrying on his back in front of him. The zipper of the interview bag was half open, revealing the neat stacks of red cash inside.
Sister Hua's voice stopped abruptly. She glanced at the interview bag greedily from the corner of her eyes. Then she looked straight ahead and said seriously, "However, we can be considered as acquaintances. Since you've been waiting here in the rain in the middle of the night, I'll give you face for your sincerity."
Zhang Youcai sneered in his heart. "Fuck, I don't believe that you won't be tempted. You've changed your attitude really fast."
A flattering smile appeared on his face. He nodded his head as if he was pounding garlic. He said fawningly, "Thank you for giving me face, Sister Hua. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well."
