Chapter 757: Chapter 747: Goodbye, Director Wang

The time is tight and the task is demanding. Quite a bit of time has already been spent, so the two of them head straight downstairs.

As they drove the car out of the parking lot, they saw, on the roadside in front of the building, two people fighting each other.

"Hey? Isn’t that the deputy manager and the team leader from earlier? They’re at it?" Su Qing remarked from the passenger seat.

Hearing this, Tang Nan slowed down to take a look: "It really is!"

"Your company with Shen Yi is really efficient; how long has it been?" Su Qing marveled.

At the roadside, Tian Tao and Yang Hui were tussling. Although Tian Tao was small, he was strong and was pinning Yang Hui down and punching him.

Some personal items were scattered around them, and although a small crowd had gathered, no one stepped forward to help.

After all, why would anyone meddle if it doesn’t concern them? What if they got into trouble themselves?

The more prosperous a place is, the more indifferent people tend to be, mainly because they fear getting dragged into trouble for doing a good deed.

"Tian Tao, you bastard, you got me fired, it’s all your fault, damn it!"

"Go to hell, do you still think you’re the manager? If it weren’t for you, would I have lost my job? How dare you put all the blame on me, damn it, I’ll finish you today!"

"Isn’t it because you’re stupid? How come nothing happened before? If people didn’t want you, why didn’t you find someone else? To put it bluntly, it’s because you’re incompetent, a useless person, you’re a waste no matter where you go!"

"And you think you’re something special? At most, I’m incompetent, but you, you’re morally corrupt. You’re an old pervert with kids and still looking for young girls. Who do you think you are?"

After the results came out, they both went back to the office, packed up their things, and left straight away.

Tian Tao was dismissed, so he didn’t need to go through any formalities, just packed up and left.

Yang Hui, though asked to resign on his own, felt too embarrassed to stay after this incident and just wanted to leave quickly, planning to come back in a few days to sort out the paperwork quietly. After all, his job couldn’t be saved, but he had to save some face, right?

When they returned to the department, it was evident from the way others were looking at them that something was wrong.

One was a team leader, the other a deputy manager, normally holding their heads high, but with this happening, no one could maintain their facade.

Before the employees found out the outcome, they hurriedly made their exit.

After getting downstairs, Yang Hui couldn’t hold his anger and started cursing Tian Tao, calling him an idiot who couldn’t do anything right and got him fired.

Tian Tao, upon hearing this, also lost his temper. Normally, he had to fawn over him as a manager, but now he had nothing to fear. He’d been fired; forget about a deputy manager, even if Shen Yi, the boss, came, he wouldn’t hold back and spilled all the vulgar words he had inside.

Perhaps feeling that cursing him wasn’t enough, he engaged in physical combat, and they’ve been rolling on the ground for several minutes now.

Still, Tian Tao had the upper hand; after all, good things come in small packages.

"Stop watching, it’s just a dog’s fight!" Su Qing patted Tang Nan, urging her to drive. After all, it was already past four, and Wang Fan’s flight was arriving at five.

"No way, it’s because dog fights are so exciting that I have to take a picture!"

Su Qing: ...

Finally, they watched the spectacle for nearly ten minutes and only left reluctantly after the two men exchanged harsh words.

"Hurry up, hurry up, we’re surely late now!"

In the car, Su Qing checked her phone on the passenger seat; it was already past 5:10, and she urged impatiently.

"Don’t rush me, what good will it do? I’m already going as fast as I can. Plus, you were more into the fight than I was, so don’t put all the blame on me!" Tang Nan said with a look that said everyone shared the blame, so don’t blame her alone.

Su Qing: ...

"Now you say it. If I’d known, I would’ve let you go down there and get beaten up too. Poor Director Wang, now he has to wait."

Seeing Director Wang’s message saying he wasn’t in a hurry, Su Qing sighed helplessly.

Hearing this, Tang Nan casually replied: "It’s fine, it’s not the first time we’re meeting Director Wang; we’re old friends. He wouldn’t mind us being late because of a good show!"

"Easy for you to say when you’re behind the wheel and not feeling the pressure!"

"Exactly, and today I’m just the driver, you’re the main person, why should I worry?"

Su Qing: "6"

For a flight arriving at five, they only got there around five-forty, mainly because it was rush hour, and the place was really congested.

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, sorry for being late!"

At the airport entrance, Su Qing immediately spotted Director Wang, standing alone with a small bag, and hurriedly went over to greet him.

"The lucky god has arrived; I couldn’t be happier, what does a little delay matter, haha!" Wang Fan laughed.

Truth be told, to him, Su Qing could really be considered his lucky god, not just because he eventually invested 80 million to save "Wandering Earth" but also because he’s about to invest in the second installment.

If that’s not a lucky god, what is?

"Don’t say that. But, old brother, you do seem healthier and happier; making money really lightens the heart, doesn’t it?"

"What I earn is nothing compared to you!"

Honestly, Wang Fan was now glowing and in high spirits. Although he seemed energized a while ago, he had many things to manage, was exhausted, and despite his energy, it was clear he was worn out.

But this time was different; he was full of life. The box-office shares were settled, and he, as the director, had almost completed all his work, enjoying a well-deserved break.

The overseas box-office shares, derivative values, platform copyrights—that had nothing to do with Wang Fan. His only task now was to rest for a while, then polish the script for the second installment.

Every day he would read the original work, occasionally discussing insights with the author, living rather comfortably.

As for the crew, part of it was disbanded to pursue other work, some were on vacation, and others had started preparing the shooting locations.

The first film lacked a dedicated large-scale set, but this time it was different; with more investment and fame, naturally they needed their own exclusive shooting location.

Tang Nan, amused on the side, said, "Hey, you can’t put it like that, Director Wang; you didn’t just earn money, you gained recognition too. That’s the real brand. You’re a renowned sci-fi director now. No doubt, you’ll definitely win awards this year!"

Hearing this, Wang Fan beamed even more.

Indeed, thanks to "Wandering Earth," he was guaranteed a nomination for Best Director today. Although it was uncertain which awards he might win, it was certain that there would be awards, and definitely more than one.

This was what mattered most to him as a director. Filmmaking aimed at winning awards; it’s not just a jest.

Actors could ride on a well-received work to win numerous awards, boost their fame, and greatly increase their worth. Directors could do the same; not just directors but editors, special effects teams might all win awards.

Besides money, this was the most significant pursuit for those behind the scenes.

"Still, Little Tang has a way with words. Let’s hope for the best; I’ll see if there’s a female role for you; I’ll arrange something for you?"

"That would be great!"

Su Qing: "P...PY deal? Behind-the-scenes manipulator?"

The two of them: ...
