Chapter 115 Moving
Become a star.
There are so many things to do that I am overwhelmed.
As he was busy preparing for the crew and had to attend some activities, Fan Wumian simply rented a small apartment in Yau Ma Tei for his assistant Pu Jiajing and asked her to stay in the Hong Kong city to help him.
The monthly rent is 2500 yuan, and the area is more than square meters. It is relatively clean and comfortable.
After careful calculation, the labor cost is still about half lower than hiring a local assistant in Hong Kong.
Time enters 2005.
New Year's Day.
Fan Wumian officially moved into the luxurious apartment he rented.
The new apartment has a total of three rooms, including a living room, a dining room and a kitchen with an island counter. They are all very spacious and fully furnished with furniture and appliances.
The big bed in the master bedroom is particularly comfortable, and the bathroom in the suite is even equipped with a brand new jacuzzi. The annual rent is HK$28 for a full year rental.
The current situation is that there is money in the company account under his name, but there is no money in Fan Wumian's personal account.
In order to avoid taxes, he paid the full year's rent in advance through Yaomei Culture.
Costs such as rent, water, electricity, fixed parking spaces, property management, etc. need to be calculated separately and will also be paid through the company account.
It's obviously a bit of a waste for one person to live in such a big house.
However, the most amazing advantage of this apartment is that Zuo Ziyan's family's aerial duplex is located upstairs in the apartment, only two floors away from her home.
From now on, whenever they have the chance, they will be able to meet and date secretly. Just based on this point, Fan Wumian feels that it is worth at least 2 yuan.
Since Zuo Ziyan's family uses an independent VIP elevator that goes directly to the top floor, they don't even have to worry about running into her parents on weekdays.
At this moment.
Fan Wumian stood by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Quietly enjoying the scenery of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island in the distance, with the warm sunshine shining on my body, I look like a very "successful person".
Assistant Pu Jiajing came out of the master bedroom and said with a bright smile:
"It's basically packed. There aren't many clothes. I'll hang them up in the closet for you."
"Boss, you are a big star now. Living here is more in line with your status. You said before that there is no place in your house to receive reporters for interviews. I was wondering what was going on."
"It was only after I visited your house that I realized that you live in a house worth three million, but the living conditions are even more difficult than mine."
Pu Jiajing brought a designer to the house for measurements the day before yesterday.
The designer smacked his lips and sighed, "He is indeed a noble son from a poor family."
He also said that there was no need to keep the original decoration of his house, and it would be better to just tear it down into a rough finish, which would save trouble.
"Hong Kong-style middle-class poor, although the house they live in is valuable, they live in poverty and cannot survive without working. This is normal here. Most people are worse off than my family. Every month they earn money and have to hand over part of it to the landlord."
Fan Wumian walked to the soft sofa and sat down, adding:
"Originally there's no need to help you rent a house. I just wanted you to come over and help me temporarily, so you can just stay here. But after thinking about it, I feel that it's not very convenient. I'm really sorry."
After hearing this, Pu Jiajing couldn't help but have wild thoughts, wondering if this counted as living with a handsome celebrity.
He quickly came to his senses.
She waved her hand and replied:
"It's okay! You're the boss and I'm at work. It doesn't make sense for me to just move into the boss's house. Besides, if we're alone, people will misunderstand us."
"My family will come to Hong Kong for a trip tomorrow and visit me. It will be great if I can show them where I live."
"My classmates really envy me for being able to work here."
Fan Wumian continued:
"After you finish helping me during this period, you can continue to live at home, and I will give you a raise. If you want to stay, you will have the opportunity to become a full-time employee after graduation. You have a very good work attitude."
"Really? Thanks, boss!"
This job is easy, the salary is not bad, and she can occasionally meet other stars. Pu Jiajing likes it very much and of course hopes to continue doing this job.
The last few days.
Jiang Shixi, Ji Qiao and others are still active in the mainland, hoping to continue to take on endorsements, participate in programs and film jobs.
The work for the "Bennylu" brand that I endorsed previously has not been completed yet, and I will be planning a promotional event in Harbour City Shopping Mall tonight.
In the morning, the staff of Benny Lu asked for Fan Wumian's height, weight and other information, saying that they would prepare a batch of clothes for him and give them away for free.
For daily wear and display, acting as a moving human model.
this era.
The Benelux brand belongs to a truly big company.
As one of the top 500 retailers in the Asia-Pacific region, its stores are widely distributed in Hong Kong, the Mainland, Formosa, Singapore, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and other places, with a total of more than stores.
In the past, netizens always liked to make fun of this brand.
It is said that its sales in the mainland were ruined by Huang Bo's words "Brand, Benny Lu!"
Fan Wumian happened to know something about this.
It seems that it was because Andy Lau was endorsing the Benny Lu brand at the time, and at the same time, Andy Lau supported new directors from the mainland and invested in the movie "Crazy Stone".
During the filming, the director returned the favor.
In order to help his benefactor Andy Lau to advertise and increase the publicity effect, he added the line "Brand, Benny Lu!" to the movie.
The starting point is obviously good.
It's a pity that the clothes are too eye-catching on Huang Bo.
With the popularity of "Crazy Stone", the image of "a high-end brand originating from Italy" that Benelux had worked so hard to build was quickly destroyed.
This is a secondary reason. The main blame lies in the company's own poor management and its failure to gain a firm foothold after its wild expansion.
of course.
Huang Bo also has to bear part of the blame. After all, when he goes the fashion route, big brands always suffer. Even the top luxury brand Hermes can't save his temperament.
Finished packing clothes and luggage.
Pu Jiajing tidied up the apartment again and wrote down the daily necessities she needed to buy in a small notebook.
Since leaving school, I started working as an intern.
Pu Jiajing is currently trying to learn how to dress herself up.
Not only did he endure the pain and spend dozens of dollars on a haircut to change to a more suitable hairstyle, he also paid more attention to his daily clothes.
She has a very good foundation and immediately exudes her charm, starting to act like a "personal secretary".
Probably imitating her colleague Ji Qiao, Pu Jiajing also wore high heels.
At this time, she was walking around the apartment with "click, click, click", which made Fan Wumian very worried. She had just moved in and was complained by the neighbors downstairs, who specifically reminded her to change into a pair of slippers.
If Pu Jiajing wore another pair of black stockings.
In fact, even if he risked being complained by his downstairs neighbors, he wouldn't say anything more.
After all, she is only 18 years old.
Indeed, the secretion of hormones is vigorous, almost like a powder keg.
--------------
New Year's holiday.
At Bennylu, there are still employees on duty.
After adapting to the new environment, to celebrate, Fan Wumian took assistant Pu Jiajing to eat hotpot at noon.
After returning home.
Just after waking up from a nap, he received a phone call and learned that someone would be delivering something to his house later. He dazedly gave the other party his home address.
Waited for more than half an hour.
Pu Jiajing was asked to go downstairs to greet them, and soon they saw several staff members from Benny Lu Company pushing carts with several large boxes of clothes.
A well-dressed, thin man in his early 30s followed upstairs and introduced himself:
"My name is Du Nan, I'm the deputy design director of Benny Lu, and I used to work at Chanel. Oh, Fan Wumian, you're so pretty. Wearing this new season's collection I designed tonight, you'll surely charm all the guests here. Hurry up and change your clothes and try it on."
"."
Fan Wumian's "Gay Da" is quite sensitive.
It has been ringing non-stop since the moment Designer Du Nan opened his mouth.
Without having time to unpack and pack up the hundreds of free Bennylu brand clothes, he went back to his room to try on the formal suit he would wear for the event tonight.
After unzipping it and taking a look, I discovered that it was a very youthful style of Zhongshan suit. After changing into the clothes and looking in the mirror, I realized that it looked a bit like a school uniform, and a bit like a suit, and it fit me very well.
You can enter your home through the elevator and swipe your card to arrive at your door.
When renting the house, he received a total of three elevator cards. For his own happiness, Fan Wumian gave one specifically to Zuo Ziyan.
Today is a day off.
Miss Zuo was dressed up beautifully. She originally wanted to come to his house to show him some warmth and to have a date with Fan Wumian to chat. She even went downstairs to buy two cups of mocha coffee.
However, as soon as the elevator door opened, I saw two strangers standing at the door of the apartment.
Withdraw Zuo Ziyan in one second.
Pretending to be calm, she just said, "Sorry, I pressed the wrong floor."
Then he pressed the door closing button frantically.
After the elevator door closed, she breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the two strangers were not reporters.
Muttering that next time she came, she'd better call and ask clearly. Zuo Ziyan took out her cell phone and sent a message to Fan Wumian, asking when the stranger in his house would leave.
Let’s not talk about the campus beauty Zuo who is particularly addicted to the taste buds.
Over there with Zhuang Muxi.
Everyone has some free time during the holidays.
As soon as her parents sold their house, they met with the seller of a luxury house in The Leighton Hill in Happy Valley and signed a contract to buy the house with a usable area of 146 square meters. They were just waiting for the bank to complete the loan procedures.
There are too many potential buyers for this new home in The Leighton Hill, Happy Valley.
The seller, who was in the cosmetics business, had a tough attitude and was unwilling to give up even a penny, and the final transaction price was 728 million Hong Kong dollars.
After signing the contract successfully, I was driving home.
After recovering from the excitement, Zhuang Muxi's father was slightly absent-minded and said with emotion:
"It's only been a few days, and in the blink of an eye, our home is gone and we've already bought a new house. Are we being a little too impulsive? What if one of us loses his job? My daughter still has to go to college. If we can't pay the monthly mortgage, won't we go bankrupt immediately?"
Her mother, sitting in the passenger seat, consoled her:
"Don't worry, our family is not rich enough to go bankrupt. At worst, we can sell the house and move back to Kenting. We have lived in Hong Kong for more than two years and I enjoy growing pineapples."
I just went to see the new house again and Zhuang Muxi was very satisfied with her new home.
The only pity.
The only thing he could do was not knock on the glass anymore, so he stood on the balcony and chatted with Fan Wumian.
However, the strawberry mark on her chest has not disappeared until now, and she feels that she may have some chance.
Take a chance.
Zhuang Muxi, who was sitting in the back row, said to her parents:
"You don't have to worry about the tuition fees. I have decided to apply to the Central Conservatory of Music in mainland China. It only costs a few thousand Hong Kong dollars a year, and there is a chance to get a scholarship."
"The tuition fees for Curtis, Juilliard, and Eastman Schools of Music in the United States are all over $30,000. I don't want to go there, but stay in the mainland to develop my career. Maybe I'll have a chance to become a star."
"If I work part-time, I should be able to support myself. In fact, someone recently asked me to make a movie..."
