"Big Sister Fu, leave this to me. You can go back to Qingyang City. I'll settle it for you!"
Fu Aihong was overjoyed when she heard this. "Thank you, Director Li. I'll thank you on behalf of our director."
Li Rui smiled. You don't have to thank me on behalf of Zhang Yijin. She'll thank me personally in the future. He then hung up the phone.
When they arrived at Beijing Station, Li Rui escorted Sun Shuqin to the waiting hall and let her rest on a chair. He walked to a secluded corner outside the waiting hall and took out his phone to call Fang Junde.
Fu Aihong wanted to meet Fang Junde and even asked Manager Guan for a referral. She couldn't do anything when Manager Guan refused to acknowledge her. However, Li Rui was able to call Fang Junde directly. It could be seen that the two of them had a lot of connections. Of course, if Li Rui didn't know Tang Su first, he wouldn't have known Director Fang.
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. Li Rui was getting impatient. When he heard Fang Junde's voice, he sneered. "Director Fang, you're quite busy!"
Fang Junde was scared out of his wits by him and Xu Da in Wuxi. Now that he heard Li Rui's voice, he was anxious. He didn't know why Li Rui suddenly called him. Could it be that Li Rui wanted to blackmail him again? He smiled and said, "I'm quite busy. I'm in a meeting. But no matter how busy I am, I still have to answer your call. Haha."
Li Rui said, "You're a famous director. Of course you're busy. I can understand. I'll get straight to the point. Let me tell you something …" He told Fang Junde about how Fu Aihong asked Manager Guan for help but was tricked.
Fang Junde was furious. "Guan Jingsheng, that bastard! How dare he blackmail a client and ruin my reputation when I'm not in Beijing? Does he want to quit?"
Li Rui thought to himself. Don't say that Guan Jingsheng ruined your reputation. You make it sound like you have a good reputation. But to be honest, Fang Junde's reputation in the public was quite good. At least there weren't any negative news.
Fang Junde said, "Brother, don't worry. I'll contact Guan Jingsheng and criticize him severely. Then, I'll ask him to apologize to Ms. Fu."
Li Rui said, "Let's put this aside for now. Director Fang, please help me contact Gu Jinle and ask him to agree to be our Shannan Province's ambassador for poverty alleviation. Our Shannan Province's government will pay for the appearance fee."
Fang Junde acted very righteous and said straightforwardly, "No problem. I'll personally call Gu Kune. I've worked with him in several movies, so I have a good relationship with him. He will definitely give me face. Moreover, he has been focusing on charity for many years, so he will definitely be happy to agree." After saying that, he was afraid that Dong Xuebing would not remember this favor, so he added, "This is also because of you. With our relationship, I will definitely help you. If it was someone else, such as that Madam Fu, or even other leaders of Shannan Province, no matter how high their ranks are, I will not bother to agree. I am really very busy."
Li Rui smiled and praised, "Director Fang, you're really a good friend. You're right to be my friend."
Fang Junde lowered his voice and said, "I've been preparing to shoot a blockbuster recently, and I plan to invite Tang Su to be the second female lead …"
Li Rui was unhappy when he heard that and said, "Didn't you say that she will be the female lead?"
Fang Junde sighed bitterly and said, "I also want to, but the producers and investors are all stuffing people into the crew. The competition for the female lead is already very fierce. Even if I'm the director, it's difficult for me to do it. But don't worry, I will find a way to add more scenes for Tang Su, so that her scenes will be on par with the female lead. At the same time, I will deeply portray the character of the second female lead, so that she will be more unique and easily remembered by the audience. I will also use Tang Su in the next movie to make up for the regret that she can't be the female lead. In short, brother, don't worry, I will do my best to support her. "
Li Rui was slightly satisfied and said, "Director Fang, since you are so trustworthy, I can't not express my gratitude. How about this, when the first movie is finished shooting, I will destroy the video so that you will have no worries."
Fang Junde smiled and said, "That's good. I will wait for that day."
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui called Fu Aihong and told her that the matter had been settled and that she did not need to worry anymore. She could go back to Qingyang City to report to Zhang Yixin. As for Gu Zhang Yue's schedule in Shannan in the future, Manager Guan Jingsheng would contact her and explain it to her.
Fu Aihong was very happy and thanked him over the phone. The two of them exchanged some pleasantries and then hung up.
When Li Rui returned to Sun Shuqin's side, he found a young man in his late thirties sitting on the seat on her right. The man had a fashionable short hairstyle, and he was quite good-looking. He was wearing a pink short-sleeved T-shirt, gray sweatpants, and white sneakers. He looked like a sportsman, which made him look more youthful and handsome. He was chatting with Sun Shuqin with a cheeky smile on his face. Sun Shuqin was sitting upright with a faint smile on her face. She listened to him for a long time and only responded after a long time.
Li Rui knew at a glance that the man was not a good person. He was most likely a lecher. He was fascinated by Sun Shuqin's beauty and wanted to seduce her.
Although Sun Shuqin was no longer young, she had a good figure and maintained herself well. She was also a natural beauty. Therefore, although she was in her forties, she was still a beautiful woman. Of course, due to the cancer surgery, her body's appearance had changed. For example, her chest had become flat, and half of her hair had fallen off because of the two chemotherapy treatments. However, she had always been vain and had taken remedial measures. For example, she had worn clothes to make up for her flat chest, and she had bought a wig that was the same as her original hair. Therefore, the changes in her appearance were not obvious.
Right now, she was wearing a light gray dress with a shawl. Her face was sweet and beautiful, and her figure was tall and plump. Her skin was white and smooth, and she was wearing a pair of high heels. Sitting in the waiting hall that could accommodate thousands of people, she was also a charming beauty. It was natural that the man next to her was fascinated by her.
"… Then it's a deal, sister. I'll help you carry your suitcase into the car later. Haha, it's a piece of cake for me. You don't have to be polite with me. You can tell by looking at my physique. I work out every day. I'm a tall and strong man. Hehe … "
When Li Rui stood in front of Sun Shuqin, he heard these words of self-praise. He was so angry that he almost laughed out loud. To be honest, this man's physique could be considered tall. As for his strength, it was not reflected in his appearance. He was probably hinting at his ability to increase the temptation to Sun Shuqin. After all, in the imagination of many men, women were the least resistant to strong men.
Sun Shuqin was also laughing. When she saw Li Rui coming back, she asked, "Are you done with the call?"
Li Rui smiled and nodded at her. He turned to the man and said, "Are you going to carry my sister's suitcase?"
The man thought that Sun Shuqin was a single traveler. Otherwise, he would not have dared to come over and seduce her. Now that he saw her brother suddenly appear, he was a little frightened. He calmed down and asked, "Are you her brother?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "Yes, I'm her brother. Since you volunteered to carry my sister's suitcase, then we won't be polite with you. You can help carry it later."
The man could tell that he was teasing him. However, he looked like Sun Shuqin's brother. At least, he was definitely not her husband. His evil intentions were aroused again. He did not want to let go of this opportunity to get close to Sun Shuqin. He smiled and said, "No problem. Actually, I don't have any other intentions. I just have a good chat with your sister. We're all from the same hometown, so I just wanted to help."
Li Ruiqi said, "Oh? You're also from Shannan? "
The man nodded and said, "Yes, I'm from Huangzhou. I'm developing in Beijing. This time I'm going back for annual leave. Haha."
The man did what he said. He really did carry Sun Shuqin's suitcase into the car. Not only that, he also helped to put it on the luggage rack. Of course, he also took this opportunity to show off his strength. Every movement was done with ease and elegance. He was just short of asking Sun Shuqin, "Am I tall and mighty?"
Sun Shuqin knew that Li Rui was teasing this guy with evil intentions. However, seeing that he helped, she still said thank you.
The man was beaming with joy when he heard her thank you. Seeing that there was no one on her left, he actually sat over and took the opportunity to continue to chat with her.
Li Rui and Sun Shuqin's seats were two of the innermost seats. Li Rui's seat was by the window and Sun Shuqin's seat was in the middle. Now the man was sitting on the outermost side, on Sun Shuqin's left.
Although Sun Shuqin really didn't want to talk to him, after hearing his words, if she really ignored him, it would make her feel awkward. She could only be patient and chat with him.
At the critical moment, Li Rui was anxious. He said to Sun Shuqin softly, "Sister, you didn't sleep well last night. Hurry up and sleep for a while."
Sun Shuqin suddenly realized that she could pretend to sleep. If she slept, how could that guy have the nerve to chat with her? She said yes, closed her eyes and began to sleep.
Li Rui actually wanted to change seats with Sun Shuqin and let her sit on the inner side. However, that would be too targeted. At present, his method was gentle and could achieve the same goal.
Seeing that he couldn't chat with Sun Shuqin anymore, the man on the opposite side changed his target to Li Rui. He asked with a smile, "Brother, where is your Qingyang from? I often go to Qingyang. I'm very familiar with it. "
Li Ruixin thought that this guy was smart. He wanted to start with him and find another way to get close to Sun Shuqin. Unfortunately, he found the wrong person. He said to him expressionlessly, "I'm sorry. My sister and I were busy last night and didn't sleep at all. I need to catch up on some sleep." After saying that, he closed his eyes, tilted his head and leaned against the corner of the window to sleep.
The man was met with a soft rebuff. He curled his lips and turned his head away.
