Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 108: Xue Yuan and Zhou Yafu's wrap-up photos! A coal-themed, reverse-engineered, ultimate Frankenstein's monster!!

After the incident of Yang Mi passionately kissing Lin Xingzhuo.

Lin Xingzhuo has firmly established her position as the unsung hero in the "Beauty's Rival in Palace" drama series!
After filming her scenes as Xue Yuan, who commits suicide by swallowing gold due to Shen Er's scheme, Yang Mi has officially wrapped up filming for "Beauty's Rival in Palace".

Yang Mi's scenes have officially wrapped up filming!

…………

Chong'an Temple Huangting Square, Gongbeilou Noodle Restaurant.

Before leaving the film crew, Yang Mi made a private appointment with Lin Xingzhuo to have noodles here.

The two ordered two bowls of silver thread noodles, a basket of Wuxi-style steamed buns, and three side dishes of braised eel, four-happiness gluten, and fried fish.

Lin Xingzhuo picked up a piece of fried fish, buried it at the bottom of the noodles, and asked, "Where are you going to film next?"

Slurp!
Yang Mi sipped the fine, silky, and silvery-white noodles and said:

"The company has taken on a few endorsements that need to be handled. Tomorrow we're heading to Lin'an to film the endorsement for the online game 'Tianxia II,' and I'll also be singing the game's theme song, 'Liuli Yue.'"

Lin Xingzhu, while eating noodles, said, "Lin'an? Then you absolutely must go to Lou Wai Lou to eat West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce..."

Yang Mi picked up a piece of braised eel with sizzling oil and asked curiously, "Is West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce delicious?"

Lin Xingzhu ate a few bites of noodles, then started poking at the softened fried fish, and said:
"Make sure to find a window seat at Lou Wai Lou, so you can enjoy the view of West Lake..."

"When the West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce arrives, we can throw the fish and the plate out the window together!"

Yang Mi: "..."

…………

After finishing their meal, Lin Xingzhuo and Yang Mi strolled hand in hand in the city park. The park was shaded by green trees, with pavilions and towers scattered in a well-organized manner, including attractions such as Fangtang Academy, Chishang Thatched Cottage, and Youjun's Inkstone Washing Pond.

Yang Mi picked up a pink Fujifilm Instant Camera and said, "Xingzhuo! Look here!"

Lin Xingzhuo was looking at the bronze statue of Abing playing the erhu standing in the Erquan Yingyue Square in the distance when she turned her head to the side and felt a warm, moist touch on her cheek!
*Smack!* *Snap!*

Lin Xingzhuo got another kiss and a photo was taken of her.

A few minutes later, Yang Mi shook the photo.

The girl tiptoed and kissed the boy's ear, her hair coated with a semi-transparent mist of light. The light spots on the edge of the photograph spread out like melting honey, and the low-sharp lens tinted the blush on his lips into a wet, peachy blur, creating a retro LOMO style.

Lin Xingzhuo leaned closer and muttered, "Quite romantic!"

Yang Mi tacitly accepted Lin Xingzhuo's initiative to stick close to her, saying, "Hehe, this can be considered Xueyuan and Zhou Yafu's wrap-up photo!"

"By the way, Lin Xingzhuo, there's a celebratory firecracker event for KartRider... Three super rare new karts have been released... You should join me in the event to get them..."

Lin Xingzhuo: "Okay!"

…………

In 2005, while studying at the Beijing Film Academy, 19-year-old Yang Mi frequently visited internet cafes, teaming up with classmates to race in "KartRider".

She's a veteran player of this game.

…………

Before leaving, Yang Mi helped Lin Xingzhuo strengthen himself again, and the power of rules began to slowly condense on his body.

She gave Lin Xingzhu a leather belt.

This super cool and domineering guy has really blown up my coins!
Lin Xingzhuo opened it and saw that it was still the Hermès 2009 collector's edition matte crocodile leather CDC series enamel buckle belt.

Holy crap! What makes him so special that he shares the same brand as Master Xu?!

I've gone further and further down the path of being the Bowser, the Great Demon King, on set...

........................

Wise people do not fall in love, and virtuous people wash their feet and get massages.

Lin Xingzhu stayed on set for another three weeks, filming all of Zhou Yafu's scenes, and even waited a few days for Mao Xiaotong before officially wrapping up filming for "Beauty's Rival in Palace"...

…………

On Thursday, I was on the K102 express train, on my way back to Beijing in a soft sleeper.

Lin Xingzhuo ate Panpan French bread while playing NDS games.

Mao Xiaotong sat on the side, looking tired as she read *Film World* magazine. Her scenes with Li Miaoren were particularly rushed, leaving her extremely tense and exhausted. Just as Mao Xiaotong was about to doze off and lean on Lin Xingzhuo's shoulder…

Bang! !
Zhang Youqian packed three styrofoam lunch boxes (two meat dishes and one vegetable dish) and rushed back into the carriage, looking extremely excited.

With the completion of filming for "Beauty's Rival in Palace," Zhang Youqian officially became a full-fledged actress.

After all, her performances in "Reign of Assassins" and "Beauty's Rival in Palace" were not only satisfactory, but almost excellent.

Especially at crucial moments.

This sweet girl can also evolve into a Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex, unleashing a magical cloak attack that's quite lethal!
…………

Zhang Youqian handed the boxed lunches to Lin Xingzhuo and Mao Xiaotong, and said excitedly:
"A new policy has been released!"

"The Implementation Opinions of the State Administration of Mine Safety on Further Deepening the Reform of the Mine Safety Production Sector" has been officially released!

"Mechanization replaces manpower, automation reduces manpower, and intelligent automation are the core principles, fully covering high-risk processes and high-risk operation scenarios in coal mines, achieving 100% in three aspects! Jinyang Province is an important pilot area for reform!"

Lin Xingzhuo opened the lunchbox and exclaimed, "Brother Ye's information is really accurate! No wonder he's one of the top five circles within the system! He's got real connections!!"

Zhang Youqian picked at the stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts in her lunchbox and said, "Brother Zhuo, you were the one who helped us get that batch of second-hand equipment from the Jinyang Ouyue Chamber of Commerce."

"If we're judging by merit, Brother Ye is number one, and you're definitely number two. You're going to make a killing this time!"

Thinking about his sister-in-law Shen Mojun's way of doing things, Lin Xingzhuo nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll treat you when we get back to the capital!"

Mao Xiaotong, who hadn't officially joined Tiger Shadow Star Brilliance Culture Media Co., Ltd. yet, asked curiously, "Um... does our company pay a lot?"

Zhang Youqian poured her own homemade chili oil over the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the foam lunchbox, stirred it, and said:

"Yes, the take-home pay is twice that of other professionals in the same position."

"They also gave me a Nokia phone, a Dell laptop, an MSH insurance policy, and a high-end commercial medical insurance policy."

"The five social insurances and one housing fund are based on the standards for civil servants in Shanghai, with the contribution base capped at 300% of the average social wage. The housing provident fund is contributed by both the employer and the employee at 12%, totaling 24%."

"Housing subsidies are provided in accordance with Shenzhen's policy for attracting science and engineering talents."

"The transportation allowance is based on the standards for civil servants in Lin'an during the pilot program for car reform."

"The meal allowance is based on the meal allowance standards of central state-owned enterprises in the power and tobacco systems."

"The children's education subsidy is based on a special policy of Salang province."

Mao Xiaotong looked puzzled and asked, "Why did you refer to so many different cities?"

While stirring her lunchbox, Zhang Youqian explained, "Policies vary from place to place..."

"My boss, Shen Mojun, asked my senior to integrate the highest standards for civil servants and state-owned enterprises in various cities last year and create this Frankenstein's monster salary scheme."

Mao Xiaotong was stunned...

Wait, is there such a reverse operation?
I've only heard from high school and college classmates that since the global financial crisis last year, many companies have started exploiting legal loopholes by using the minimum labor standards of various provinces and cities...

This is a "coal-based, reverse-engineered, ultimate Frankenstein's monster," created according to the highest standards set by provincial government agencies and central state-owned enterprises!

This was the first time Mao Xiaotong had ever heard of such an amazing company.

…………

Zhang Youqian ate her boxed lunch with relish and added, "Oh, right, there's also a one-time resettlement allowance, which is equivalent to three months' salary."

Mao Xiaotong seemed to have been injected with a mulberry potion, all her fatigue gone, and she moved closer to Lin Xingzhuo: "Brother Zhuo, when can we sign a contract to film a movie? Can I meet President Shen?"

Lin Xingzhuo understood Mao Xiaotong's feelings very well.

The soldier in "Seoul Spring" participated in the Gwangju Unrestricted Fighting Tournament. He dragged his tired steps back to the barracks and saw that the ten months' salary he received that morning had been increased by seven months, along with a table full of beef.

So he slapped himself hard, then took the stick and went back...

…………

Beep! Tap tap tap!

Lin Xingzhuo's Nokia 5230 phone rang.

I put down my lunchbox and checked the caller ID.

Ding Ye's phone call...
