Chapter 136 White Lies
Chu Yuan and others' eyes lit up. The Smith in front of them was completely different from the one yesterday. He didn't look like the same person at all.
"Mr. Chu, my current image is okay, right?"
Smith smiled confidently. After all, he was a wealthy businessman who had owned a lot of wealth. Although he was down and out now, his temperament was still there.
"no problem."
Chu Lingyun smiled. Smith really gave him a surprise. This was much better than Chu Lingyun had expected.
"Can you hire me then?"
Smith asked anxiously, Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's you."
"The remuneration must be calculated according to the previous agreement. It must be one thousand dollars."
Smith was a little nervous. What Chu Lingyun didn't know was that he had spent every last penny he had in order to change his image.
If Chu Lingyun refused him, he would go hungry today.
"Okay, one thousand dollars, but you have to do exactly what I say and you can't make any changes. If you don't, you won't get a penny."
Chu Lingyun agreed again, and Smith finally smiled: "Of course, but you absolutely cannot make pornographic films. I can't accept that."
Color chips?
Chu Lingyun was at a loss for words. Smith, like the professor before him, thought that he was going to make a movie and wanted foreigners like them to be actors.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't."
Smith was completely relieved. Chu Lingyun asked Chu Yuan and others to wait outside, and he took Smith into the room and told him in detail what he needed to do.
Chu Lingyun's plan was not complicated. His parents' greatest wish had always been to open a free or very low-fee school to educate those outstanding children from poor families.
But their income is far from enough, so they can only teach and educate while helping those around them to the best of their ability.
They have no money, but Chu Lingyun does. Chu Lingyun now has more than 100,000 US dollars on hand, which is a considerable fortune.
The last time Niuqiu raided Zhu Shaojun's house, he only sent thirty gold bars to Henian, but nothing to the director.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to give it, but he is not qualified to have a direct relationship with Virgo now.
A little money is enough to help my parents fulfill their wish and let them leave Ningcheng, killing two birds with one stone.
"So that's how you act. Mr. Chu, don't worry, I won't make any mistakes."
After Chu Lingyun explained it to Smith, he understood what was going on. Although his business failed, he had been successful after all and was not a fool.
"It's not possible here. I want to rent you a better place."
The bungalow Smith lives in now obviously belongs to a small family. Chu Lingyun wants him to be a big boss. How can a big boss live in such a place?
In Chu Lingyun's script, the boss played by Smith is a kind-hearted international friend who wants to invest in building a middle school in China with extremely low tuition fees and scholarships for outstanding students in the school.
Chu Lingyun saved Smith's life by chance. After Smith learned that Chu Lingyun's parents were middle school teachers, he decided to hand over the school to them for management.
The reason is very simple. With such an outstanding son, his parents must be good. Chu Lingyun did not accept his money as a thank you. This is his way of thanking Chu Lingyun for saving his life.
However, Smith had a condition: the school could only be built in Chongqing, and it had to be a place designated by him.
After the full-scale war of resistance broke out, although Chongqing was not captured, it was bombed continuously for many years and the city was not absolutely safe.
Chu Lingyun sent his relatives to Chongqing in order to ensure their safety, and the address of the school cannot be chosen at random.
In his previous life, he had traveled to Chongqing more than once. He once drove with friends to a town near Chongqing, where he listened to some history stories told by local elders.
Because they were relatively far away from the city and had no important military industrial sites, not a single shell fell on their heads during the entire War of Resistance.
Chu Lingyun still remembered the name of this town. It would be much safer to build a school there than in the city.
In addition, the school cannot be too big.
A school that is too large can easily become a target of attack. In Chu Lingyun’s plan, the newly built school will only enroll two hundred students. A school of this size will not attract the attention of the Japanese army.
This can also save money.
According to Chu Lingyun's estimate, twenty thousand US dollars would be enough for the construction of the school plus the future operating expenses.
Chu Lingyun would never blink an eye when it comes to paying $20,000 in exchange for his family's safety.
"Mr. Chu, why are you going through so much trouble?"
After listening to Chu Lingyun's description, Smith was very curious. Investing in building a school is a good thing, so why pay a high price to hire him and let him come forward?
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Do you still want this job?" Chu Lingyun glared at him.
"Yes, of course."
Smith chuckled and suddenly said, "But you need to pay for renting a better house and the car. I'm just an actor you hired."
"Don't worry, you don't have to pay for this."
Smith is definitely a shrewd businessman, and it is hard to understand how he has managed to achieve such success in business.
"I agree. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Smith extended his right hand with a sly smile.
He doesn't have to pay anything, and he can get a high salary and live in a better house. Only a fool would refuse.
"Don't go out these few days. Practice well at home. I will test you before letting you do anything. If you can't pass, I still won't use you."
"That's no problem, don't worry, I will definitely pass the test, but..."
At this point, Smith was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Chu, can you give me an advance of one hundred dollars? For today's image, I have spent all my money and I don't even have lunch."
Chu Lingyun widened his eyes. Has Smith reached the end of his rope?
In this situation, he dared to ask for a thousand dollars in compensation. He is simply a lunatic. If I don't hire him, won't he starve to death?
"Okay, I'll have someone send you the money later. Remember, practice well and don't make any mistakes."
Chu Lingyun agreed that Smith could not destroy this image before his parents arrived and must maintain it well.
Without money, he would probably become the same horrible person he was yesterday in a few days.
Now that Smith has passed the test, Chu Lingyun's plan is half completed. The remaining half depends on how to fool his parents and make them agree to it.
No, this is not a scam, but a white lie.
"Dad, I'm Ling Yun. Are you free now? I have something I need your opinion on."
After returning to the office, Chu Lingyun immediately called home. He had arranged for Chu Yuan to take care of the house matter and asked him to find a beautiful villa as soon as possible and find a way to rent it for a month at a high price.
"Ling Yun, you've always had your own opinions. Why are you asking for my opinion?"
Chu Yuanchen said this with a smile, and from his voice one could tell that he was in a good mood.
