Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 545 - 236: Like Rats Crossing the Street

At this moment, Yang Chen was accompanying Lin Yiren and others in the company studio for an advertisement shoot.

The main characters of this advertisement were Lin Yiren, Zhou Zhenyi, Li Qinqin, and Li Xiaofei as the supporting character. It was the first time for all four of them to formally shoot a piece, and they didn’t even know basic positioning, which drove the cameraman Mills Mirta crazy.

Mirta also had work back in Japan, and he could only take out tonight and tomorrow morning for Yang Chen. He had to return to Japan by two in the afternoon tomorrow for continued shooting, otherwise he would breach his contract.

But seeing the four of them not even understand basic positioning, Mirta was really about to lose it.

Yang Chen had no choice but to take on the role of director, communicating with Lin Yiren and the others from an observer’s perspective to address where the problems were, helping them improve little by little.

Actually, anyone who’s seen sanitary pad commercials knows that these kinds of ads are quite simple to shoot.

All they need to do is some simple jumping actions to prove that it doesn’t leak or anything.

The problem was that Lin Yiren and others were not professional actors. They could do the actions, but their expressions were not right; they couldn’t look embarrassed when they should, and couldn’t look like they were enjoying themselves when they should. Yang Chen even had to go online to search for videos for them to watch, teaching them on the spot how to make expressions of embarrassment and enjoyment, etc.

Everyone worked through the night. After breakfast, they couldn’t stand it anymore and quickly found a place to take a nap.

However, due to the tight schedule, they rested for less than an hour before having to get back to work.

After shooting for over an hour, they finally finished the entire advertisement.

The rest was editing and post-production, which Mirta didn’t need to participate in. He could now head to the airport to catch his flight.

Yang Chen comforted, "I estimate it won’t be long before I take a trip to the United States. By then, I’ll give you a full day for shooting. This time was tight, and I didn’t let you finish filming, I’m very sorry."

Mirta immediately responded happily, "Ah...then it’s a deal. Give me a call about two days before you go to the United States, no matter where I am in the world, I’ll definitely come back to see you."

Yang Chen: "Okay! Then it’s settled! Hurry to the airport, safe travels."

Yang Chen sent Mirta to the car, waving goodbye to him.

Everyone had stayed up the whole night, and at this point, they couldn’t stand it anymore, so they all hurried back home to sleep.

Lin Yiren drove herself back, and Yang Chen took Li Xiaofei home to sleep.

After a night of fermentation, the video of Hultas James insulting Dragon Country people had already gone viral online.

He went to the hotel restaurant to eat, and everyone was pointing and whispering about him.

Hultas James thought everyone was curious about him being a foreigner, and said with a smile, "Hello beauties, want to have a meal together?"

"Damn, this pompous guy really is as arrogant as in the video."

"Damn, how can someone like him live to this age, it’s really a miracle."

"Should we give him a beating?"

"Fighting could get us detained. It’s not worth ruining ourselves for some foreign trash. But we can still warn him a few times."

"Xiaojun, your English is good, warn him a few times. If he dares to talk nonsense again, we’ll teach him a lesson."

...

The young man named Xiaojun stood up and said to Hultas James, "Watch what you say. If you dare say one more disrespectful word about Dragon Country people, we’ll make sure you leave lying down. Do you even realize how much you disgust people? Fuck your mother!"

Hultas James slammed the table and was about to cause trouble, but the restaurant staff had been keeping an eye on him. Seeing his aggressive behavior, the staff quickly came up to stop him.

"Sir, please control your words and actions, or we will take action to expel you," the restaurant manager said.

James immediately roared, "Why expel me? I paid money, you took my money, you must provide the promised services, or you’re in breach of contract, and I can sue you!"

The manager replied, "Our compliance is based on you adhering to rules and laws. You insult Dragon Country people and provoke other guests as soon as you enter; therefore, we absolutely have the right to expel you."

At this point, the lackey Li Zhen came running over and quickly pulled James aside.

"Mr. James, I have already arranged a meeting with East Dragon Airlines Chairman Li Junhao. We can go to East Dragon Airlines and talk to him about participating in the private placement. Remember, we must use the advantage of purchasing Boeing planes and opening routes to the United States and other regions to persuade them to let us secure this private placement slot," Li Zhen said.

James replied impatiently, "I know. Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Li Zhen: "No, no, no, Mr. James, don’t misunderstand."

Hultas James snorted coldly and quickly went to get food to eat.

After breakfast, Li Zhen took James to Eastern Airlines Headquarters and met with Chairman Li Junhao.

Li Junhao was getting on in age, didn’t use Douyin, and was not aware of what happened online.

He felt that if Huasheng Investment could secure the last private placement slot, then Eastern Airlines’ current private placement would be considered a success.

After all, they were a well-known investment bank on Wall Street, so their connections in the United States must be strong enough.

Li Junhao had a great talk with James, and both parties even reached an oral agreement, agreeing for Huasheng to secure the last private placement slot.

As Eastern Airlines is a publicly listed company, and since the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission controls it, it’s not only an ordinary airline but also has some political significance, so its shareholders must be approved by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and then pass a shareholders’ meeting resolution before it counts.

Now, they can only reach a verbal agreement, and only after all subsequent reviews pass can they formally sign the contract.
