Chapter 2924 Expulsion

Since Xu Xian did not choose to take the initiative to speak, Li Menglong had no choice but to find the steps himself.

"You should know that I never ask for any thanks for helping you. These are all things I should do for you, my goddess!"

Li Menglong said affectionately, if the occasion and object were changed, it might be quite touching.

But at this moment, Xu Xian is only at a loss. The colleagues around him are all in meetings seriously. He is saying this here?

Although the sound is not loud, what should I do if someone hears me?

Let’s not talk about the attitude issue during the meeting, in case everyone misunderstood and thought that the two of them had some ulterior relationship.

You must know that Li Menglong has a girlfriend now. This kind of person is not easy to mess with. She will be the one who will be scolded.

Even though she knew that the two of them were innocent, Xu Xian was cautious about whether other people would think so.

After all, people are instinctively inclined to this kind of negative news, and gloating about misfortunes can be considered one of the bad habits of human beings.

In order to prevent this man from saying any crazy things again, and of course to prevent him from making any more tricks, Xu Xian raised his elbow and struck him hard!

With this elbow, Li Menglong immediately fell on the table and gasped. This woman's attack was too cruel.

However, his "performance" was fake in Xu Xian's eyes. She didn't care at all and instead turned to focus on her work.

This scene really stimulated Li Menglong. Xu Xian would rather go to work than come to comfort him. Didn't you see that his tears were flowing out?

Although he knew that what Xu Xian did was right, there were so many right things, and occasionally a little willfulness was needed.

So Li Menglong began to think, he must let Xu Xian give some reaction, otherwise he would not give in!

Rather than saying that he wants to take revenge on Xu Xian now, it is better to say that he is too bored at the moment and always wants to find something interesting to do for himself.

In fact, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be. His attitude towards work is still worthy of recognition, and this has been certified by Xu Xian.

But there were some minor discrepancies in this meeting. Several departments of the company came together to review the crew's periodic expenses, which was the cost of preliminary preparations.

This is considered one of the formal procedures, and its purpose is to control the crew's expenses.

Otherwise, if the director is allowed to play freely, the result could be anything.

After all, directors are a bunch of lunatics, money is just a number in their eyes, and the perfection of details is the eternal pursuit.

It's just that it's too easy to overspend, and some small companies have even been dragged into bankruptcy.

That’s why there are inspections at various stages, and the director must be allowed to consume according to the plan!

However, this point seems a bit formal when it comes to Li Menglong. Everyone in the company knows that there is no upper limit to his shooting expenses.

Of course, this is the status that Li Menglong has earned through his own efforts, but the core reason is that he is originally a kind of director who saves money.

This kind of director is a treasure for any company. Even if the box office misses or even loses money, the company will provide it.

The reason why Li Menglong spends less money is actually because his artistic pursuits are not that high. In his eyes, being watched and making a profit are the first priorities.

Otherwise, if a movie is shot with great pains and thousands of people have seen it, then it will be of no use no matter how high the rating is.

Moreover, behind a film is not only the director’s personal efforts, but also hundreds of people directly involved.

If you include various companies, God knows how many people's livelihoods will be affected by losing money. Even if it is bad, it will also affect the year-end bonus.

It is such a realistic idea that makes Li Menglong's shooting much more utilitarian.

The advantage is that you can spend the money as you like, but this is also a kind of unspoken rule, and you still have to follow the procedures that should be followed on the surface.

Hence the current meeting. If everyone is willing to spend every penny to verify the truth and review, then Li Menglong may still be able to arouse some interest.

But now they are just paying bills. The people opposite take the bills provided by Xu Xian and fill them into the computer, and only occasionally ask for specific details.

The overall atmosphere is simply too good. If other directors saw it, they would probably be jealous and crazy.

Xu Xian is naturally aware of this, so she is absorbing experience so that she can ask the company for money in the future.

It’s just that she may not be able to use similar experience!

"This fee seems unclear. Can you explain where it is used specifically?"

Because Xu Xian was keeping track of the accounts originally, she naturally joined in immediately.

It stands to reason that she should remember the source of each account, but she really can't remember this one. Is this because she misrecorded the account?

Xu Xian couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and subconsciously wanted to ask Li Menglong if he would be impressed?

This time Xu Xian asked the right person. Li Menglong knew what was going on at a glance.

It's not that he has a good memory, but that he feels guilty about this account. To put it simply, it was stolen by him.

This wasn't even intentional on his part. He seemed to be buying something for the girls that day, but ended up swiping the wrong card.

And when the girls transferred the money privately, Li Menglong did not return it, so there was this unclear expense.

There must be no explanation. Li Menglong is also a shameless person.

"You can just find any excuse. Do you have to ask in such detail? Do we have to remember all the expenses?"

Li Menglong said slightly impatiently, but the people opposite him were not afraid at all. What is there to be afraid of?

Everyone is not in the same department, can Li Menglong help them put on some shoes? Besides, there is someone behind them. Are you sure you want them to call someone over?

Considering how fierce Li Enxi was, Li Menglong could only feel aggrieved. He even wondered if his status in the company was too low. Why was no one afraid of him?

It would be too magical for a company boss to embezzle some public funds and still be held accountable.

But the reasons still have to be found. Fortunately, Li Menglong is not the kind of director who is just freeloaders. He is a director who has truly climbed up from the bottom.

He has done almost all the work on the crew, and he is also fully aware of the various "corruption" methods in it.

But as the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Of course he knows it, but as long as he doesn't take it too much and can guarantee his job, he can treat it as normal wear and tear.

So now, even if I make up a temporary excuse, I still frighten the professional reviewers opposite.

This feeling of knowing you are lying but having no evidence is so frustrating.

In the end, those people took the initiative to propose a deal: that is, Li Menglong explained this to them clearly, and they would not continue to pursue the use of the money.

"These are just a few of you. If it were an outsider, even if they put a knife to my neck, I wouldn't be able to tell you. These are all secrets within the industry!"

Li Menglong didn't forget to behave when he got an advantage at this moment. Every experience he imparted now was to save money for his company.

Anyway, it’s not his fault. It’s a headache for the directors he will collaborate with in the future. What does that have to do with him, Li Menglong?

It's just that he didn't consider that the person might be Xu Xian. Although Xu Xian never thought about being greedy for money, it is always good to have multiple skills.

As a result, it can't be used now, but judging from Li Menglong's expression, he should have a lot of similar experience in his heart. She can find opportunities to learn from it in the future.

If the filming expenses are not enough in the future, she no longer has to foolishly pay for it out of her own pocket. She can use this method to make false accounts.

Because of this small episode, Li Menglong didn't even have a chance to tease Xu Xian, but at least the meeting was not so boring.

After confirming the final number, Xu Xian signed it on behalf of Li Menglong.

Theoretically, it should be Li Menglong’s signature that counts, but who told him to run to the bathroom?

Besides, it is enough to have Xu Xian’s signature. Not to mention Xu Xian’s character, even if there is some dispute, are you afraid that Li Menglong will not admit it?

And there won’t be any repetitions, it’s just a process, allowing everyone to gain some additional experience.

This is true for Xu Xian and the people across from him. Li Menglong is here to accompany him in "playing house", so he doesn't blame him for being bored.

However, Xu Xian was not in a hurry to leave after seeing off a few people. He first sorted out his previous notes, then silently took out a notebook and began to think seriously.

Speaking of which, the previous phone call still touched Xu Xian. Even Lee Soon Kyu was messing with her at home. Will she be let go?

Xu Xianke has never overestimated his own status. They do love themselves, but it definitely does not include this kind of thing.

So if there is anything else to say, just prepare to write a review honestly.

But we can’t listen to Li Menglong’s words. According to his opinion, the final result must be ruined by everyone. Why did Xu Xian write this alone?

But what he said was not convincing at all. Last night, everyone was in a mess. Why did Li Menglong finish it alone? Still the sneaky kind!

Don’t look at what people are saying, but look at what they are doing!

So even if the girls are really good at showing off, Seohyun still has to be the second Li Menglong, she has to stand out!

Besides, based on her understanding of the girls, she might not be able to get through this time, so she had better be prepared in advance.

In the end, Li Menglong took the initiative to come over. He thought Xu Xian was being embarrassed, otherwise why didn't he come back for so long.

He was all ready to cause trouble in the company for Xu Xian, but in the end he was not given the opportunity at all.

"What am I doing? Can't you see?"

Xu Xian responded impatiently, because in her opinion, Li Menglong was just here to cause trouble, and it could be called a mockery.

After all, the other party has been freed, but she is still sinking.

"It's just a review. I have experience. If you have anything you can't think of, just ask me!"

Li Menglong sat on his chair upside down and looked at Xu Xian's masterpiece. Among other things, the handwriting was really neat.

If we let Li Menglong judge, this handwriting and attitude alone will add a lot of points, but this may not be the case for Li Soonkyu, after all, she is "blind"!

Xu Xian simply ignored his ridicule of Lee Soon Kyu. Now was not a good time to seek justice for the Unnies. Besides, she did have a bit more resentment towards Lee Soon Kyu.

She is now very curious about what Li Menglong wrote. If she can learn from it, then she is only one step away from completing it.

"What do you mean by learning from others? Just say you want to make a cheat sheet."

"It's not plagiarism. I won't copy it exactly. I will add my own insights. I will also..."

Xu Xian's face is still a little thinner after all. Even after so many years of encouragement from girls, he is still so simple that it makes people sigh.

But as long as the appearance is not annoying, at least Li Menglong cherishes it: "Okay, it's a reference! So you still want to learn from it now?"

Next it was time to copy... but Xu Xian soon discovered that he had been fooled.

She had put in so much effort that her personality was tarnished, but the result was a huge disappointment.

What kind of nonsense is what Li Menglong wrote? To say it is nonsense is to praise him. Isn't he deliberately talking nonsense?

"Why should I lie to you? Besides, the original is with Lee Soon Kyu. You can go home and compare it yourself."

Li Menglong was still a little aggrieved that his own character was being doubted, so that was it for others, but Xu Xian also doubted him?

Xu Xian actually suppressed her worries and went to appease Li Menglong's emotions instead. She even thought it was ridiculous.

Especially Li Menglong's so-called review content, is he sure he can pass the test if he writes it this way?

"It also requires skills. The beginning and end must be sincere, you know!"

Li Menglong blinked at Xu Xian. He could only teach to this extent, and then it was up to Xu Xian to realize it himself.

As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and cultivation depends on the individual. Xu Xianke has always been a good student, will he not be disappointed this time?

Xu Xian is indeed very satisfied with his learning ability. He can find a balance between study and study amidst busy work. This is not an ability that everyone has.

But now it makes her fall into self-doubt. Is she really good at studying? Otherwise, why can't we absorb even a little bit of nutrients from Li Menglong's narrative?

After being troubled by this problem for more than ten minutes, Xu Xian finally figured it out!

Where there is a problem with her ability, it is clearly that Li Menglong's answer is too bad, there is nothing but dross in it.

If you want to find some nutrients here, what is the difference between that and digging for gold in manure?

It really made him sick. Xu Xian drove Li Menglong out with a backhand. He was annoying just looking at him.

After Li Menglong confirmed that Xu Xian had no additional trouble, he had no intention of staying. He also had his own work.

"Oh, our little girl is finally growing up. She knows how to avoid others even when she does bad things. As a parent, I am very happy!"

Li Menglong joked in an old-fashioned way, which made Xu Xian restrain his wry smile. Did he have to choose to be beaten out?

If this is his wish, then Xu Xian doesn't mind fulfilling it for him. Even if her fighting power is relatively weak, she has a brave heart!
