Chapter 970: Chapter 970: How Many People Can Live Here?

Meilin Garden was acquired for redevelopment, and the movie shooting progressed very smoothly, everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction, and Shen Mianmian was in a good mood.

However, having such a large sum of money on hand always felt wasteful, she had always believed that instead of letting so much money sit in a bank, it would be better to invest it or turn it into real estate.

After sharing her thoughts with He Nan, he helped her find a piece of land that was 300 square meters.

When Ruan Yiqian learned that Shen Mianmian was interested in purchasing land for construction, he actively helped her find construction personnel and also assisted in handling the building procedures, managing to get everything ready to start work within two months, which was a surprise to Shen Mianmian.

The blueprint for the house was designed by Shen Mianmian herself, as she planned to use the property as a rental for a group later on, she specifically had it renovated into one set of rooms and several small compartments, and moreover, each room came equipped with a bathroom and a small kitchen.

The construction personnel and Ruan Yiqian were surprised by Shen Mianmian’s design; they had never seen a house with so many bathrooms before, and since it wasn’t for sale, what was the purpose of all these small rooms?

How many people were going to live there?

Because the location of the land Shen Mianmian bought was quite remote, in the countryside, Ruan Yiqian didn’t think of any other possibilities. Although he found it strange, he didn’t oppose it.

As for He Nan, he only had one comment about Shen Mianmian’s design, "Her ideas have always been different from others, and since she wants to do it this way, she must have her reasons."

Owing to Shen Mianmian’s studies and Lu Nian’s high demands for the movie, although it began smoothly, there was an inevitable delay in the middle stages due to difficulties encountered by Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi, which slowed down the progress.

However, Lu Nian didn’t lose his temper over this, he just patiently guided them, and upon discovering that Yang Xiaoxi seemed a bit anxious, he even gave the two a week’s rest.

The movie, initially scheduled to be completed in three months, finished a month late and was set to release on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After more than three months of hard work, the film was finally completed, and Yang Xiaoxi felt relief throughout her whole body. After receiving ten thousand yuan, she immediately sent five thousand home and then used the rest to treat Shen Mianmian to a big meal. She still wasn’t satisfied after that and bought Shen Mianmian a whole new outfit from head to toe.

In response, Shen Mianmian felt helpless but also found it very heartwarming.

Since summer was approaching and the nights were no longer cold, and it was also the night of the full moon, Shen Mianmian bought a pile of food and drinks and placed them on the stone table in the yard, they ate while she and Yang Xiaoxi discussed their future.

"Xiaoxi, if there are no surprises, this movie should do very well at the box office. If there’s a role that suits you in the future, Director Lu will definitely consider you. Do you plan to pursue a career in the entertainment industry?"

This question would soon be in front of Yang Xiaoxi, and Shen Mianmian, truly considering her a good friend, asked her to help prepare Xiaoxi for the future.

Yang Xiaoxi was eating voraciously when she heard Shen Mianmian’s question, she was momentarily stunned, but seeing the sincere expression on Shen Mianmian’s face, she quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and pondered carefully, then nodded.

"Mianmian, although I haven’t thought too much about this question before, I feel that if I can continue acting in the future, I will definitely do it. Acting brings in money so quickly; normally, I might need seven to eight years, maybe even ten years to earn this much. But now, I can make this much in just three months. Mianmian, do you think I’m too greedy for money?"
