Chapter 286 Olive Branch

Seeing that Mrs. Yun was looking like she was going to scold someone just now, she changed into a smiling face in an instant and greeted Ding Xiyan.

Mu Bai was speechless for a moment, he actually noticed Madam Yun following him just now, but he didn't want to talk to Madam Yun.

He really couldn't understand, where did Bachelor Yun find such a superb wife?

Wherever she went, people everywhere thought she was annoying, but she didn't have any self-awareness in this regard.

Seeing Ding Xiyan deal with Mrs. Yun skillfully, Mu Bai sighed in his heart that his "practice" is still not enough, and he will feel annoyed when he meets people who hate him.

Look at Ding Xueshi, a dignified scholar, and he will deal with this kind of person without changing his face.

Just as he was thinking, Mu Bai saw Ding Xiyan winking at him.

It was only then that Mu Bai realized that Bachelor Ding didn't really want to deal with it.

He had no choice but to say: "Mrs. Yun, I've already found the car to send you off, so I'll send it here. It's a hot day, so we won't be drying here. I'll take Bachelor Ding to rest first."

Mrs. Yun said with a smile: "Okay, okay, go quickly. The scenery here is good, so enjoy here."

Ding Xiyan then went to open the back seat door, the little guy sitting in the back made a face at Mrs. Yun, then took his mother's hand and followed Mu Bai into the resort.

Mrs. Yun laughed and said, "This child!"

After Mu Bai and others left, the smile on Madam Yun's face disappeared, and she ordered Zheng Huan to say, "What are you waiting for? Put your luggage in the trunk! Oh, be careful! If you break it, can you afford it?"

Zheng Huan said with a gloomy face, "Who can afford to pay for a broken box?" After finishing speaking, he threw the box down, and said to Yun Duo softly, "I'll send it to you. I'll call you later."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Huan walked away, and Mu Bai had already explained that no matter what happened to Madam Yun, Bachelor Yun had to give him face, after all, Bachelor Qin Guoyun had just helped him.

I'll give you face, but if Mrs. Yun says anything too much, you don't have to abandon her at all.

Madam Yun snorted coldly: "A servant is putting on airs! Let me seize the opportunity and see how I deal with him!"

Yun Duo said with some annoyance: "Mom! Can't you be like Mu Bai and others who are neither humble nor arrogant? You make me embarrassed in front of Zheng Huan!"

"Can neither being humble nor arrogant be eaten?" Mrs. Yun said with a cold face: "You have never experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, so you can say such naive words.

"When I first married your father, the whole family looked down on me, and later your father became a bachelor, it's my turn to look down on them!

"I understand better than you, Mu Bai and the others are all trying to cling to your father, they have ulterior motives! Why are you being polite to them? Get in the car, let's go!"

On the other side, as Mu Bai went to his residence with Ding Xiyan, he asked, "Why was Academician Yun so careless when he got married?"

Ding Xiyan said, "How much choice do you think a student from a poor family has?"

Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, and one sentence brought him back to reality. No matter how beautiful the world seemed, some things still had to be maintained by marriage.

Mu Bai changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this, what do you want to do when you come to the beach?"

"Let's take a look at the scenery here." Ding Xiyan said.

It was not the first time for her to go to the seaside for vacation, and she wanted to see the unique scenery here.

Mu Bai looked at the little girl: "Why is the little girl so quiet today?"

Ding Xiyan smiled and said: "Her grandfather just taught her not to talk nonsense outside, and she just stopped talking when she got angry."

"What a temperament!" Mu Bai looked at the little girl and stretched out two fingers: "How much is this?"

The little girl didn't speak.

Mu Bai nodded: "So I don't know how to count!"

The little girl was about to speak angrily, but suddenly she seemed to think of something. She just glared at Mu Bai and still said nothing.

Mu Bai smiled and said, "The little girl is really smart."

Mu Bai arranged accommodation for the mother and daughter, and then found a sightseeing car to take them for a stroll in the nearby scenic spots.

But after Ding Xiyan saw the small island not far from the coast, he pointed and said: "Let's go to the island and have a look."

Mu Bai didn't say anything, let the sightseeing car drive to the pier, and then rented a yacht to go to the island.

The little girl finally yelled excitedly as the yacht quickly rowed across the water.

The little girl asked after getting off the boat, "Mom, can I play in the sand?"

"Go." Ding Xiyan smiled and said, "Don't go too far."

The little girl nodded, ran to break a stick, and started digging in the sand.

Mu Bai and Ding Xiyan found a shady place and sat on the ground, watching the waves come and go.Feel the slightly cool sea breeze and admire the crystal-like sea water.

Ding Xiyan looked at the sea and sighed: "It's so beautiful, I want to settle here."

Mu Bai smiled and said: "It will be quite nice to live here for a few months, but you will feel tired after a long time. It is too hot in summer and the sea breeze is too cold in winter. It is far less comfortable than living in the mainland."

"Yes, time is the invigilator who tests everything. No matter what you do, problems will arise after a long time." Ding Xiyan said suddenly:
"It's like the high-ranking scholars of the Ming Dynasty who stayed in the 'first seat of the national scholars' for too long, which has already hindered the development of the entire Zhou Kingdom."

Mu Bai was taken aback, put away his smile and said, "Ding Xueshi seems to have a special purpose in coming to the resort, right?"

Although Mu Bai and Wang Quan have little contact, they have a good relationship. It is completely different from Ding Xiyan. The two sides met once and had a meal, which is slightly better than nodding acquaintances.

Although I promised to come to the resort before, it is very likely that I just said it casually.

When Ding Xiyan said that he would come to the resort, Mu Bai was also a little surprised. Now it seems that Ding Xiyan's arrival may not be for fun.

At this moment, Mu Bai's mind turned rapidly, and he suddenly remembered that old man Xiao Jingyu had said before that as long as he can withstand another round of offensive by the Ming soldiers, no matter whether he wins or loses, someone will come to contact him.

Thinking of this, Mu Bai smiled, thinking that Bachelor Ding was the one who came to contact him.

Ding Xiyan smiled and said, "What special purpose can I have? It's just that we have the same enemy now."

Sure enough, Mu Bai was sure of his thoughts. Although the person who came to negotiate with him was Ding Xueshi, he was a little surprised, but it made sense, after all, her father was also a national scholar.

Only national scholars can restrain national scholars, Mu Bai guessed that Ding Chuanhai national scholars should have some conflicts with Ming Honglang national scholars.

Mu Bai didn't hide it any more: "Are you talking about a national scholar?"

"Yes!" Ding Xiyan admitted generously: "Now the scholars of the Ming Dynasty have reached the point of madness, and are doing everything possible to elevate the status of commercial power.

"But Qin's political reform is just around the corner. It's not a good thing for a country to have too much commercial power."

Because of Xiao Guoshi's reminder, Mu Bai had already considered the bottom line of cooperating with another Guoshi: "At least one thing that Ding Xueshi said is right, we have a common enemy.

"But I am the director of a small studio, I like painting, I like to write songs, and I will like to write novels in the future, that's all.

"The most important thing is that I will only be in my junior year when the summer vacation ends and the school starts! I don't want to participate in the political struggle of the national scholars. I just want to keep the fruits of my own hard work."

Ding Xiyan understood what Mu Bai meant. He admitted that they had a common enemy, but he only wanted to find a balance of power and did not want to get too involved in the whirlpool of the struggle between national warriors.

From Ding Xiyan's point of view, Mu Bai is not cautious for his age, and he is very self-aware, knowing that if he participates in political struggle with his own strength, he is also an abandoned child that can be discarded at any time.

She smiled and said: "As long as we have a common enemy, we are allies. We are not like the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, who like to make things difficult for others."

Mu Bai nodded. Sure enough, after withstood the second round of attack by Ming Guoshi, he had some say in the way of cooperation with the enemy's enemy.

He followed up and said: "We can get along with each other in a cooperative relationship. You can use me to attract the attention of Ming scholars. I will take the opportunity to strengthen myself and help each other."

Ding Xiyan said: "The cooperative relationship is too broad, we should get along as allies."

Mu Bai waved his hand: "Don't worry about the relationship. The most important thing is to clarify each other's responsibilities first. I want everything to go smoothly during the next release of "My Neighbor Totoro".

"From now on, I'll leave it to you to fight at a level that I'm temporarily out of touch with. Then, next, Xueshi Ding will talk about it, what shall we do for you?"

"Manage the software 'Guofeng Navigation' well." Ding Xiyan obviously came prepared: "We need to manage this software well, so that 'Minggu Technology' will not be profitable in the navigation industry! It is for Ming Guoshi powerful counterattack.

"Oh, 'Minggu Technology' is one of the industries of the Ming family. As far as we know, they also saw the domestic navigation market. When they were developing a new generation of navigation, 'Guofeng Navigation' was born out of nowhere."

Mu Baixin said, this is exactly what he wanted!He pretended to think for a while before saying: "I will set up a company and organize a professional team to operate this software, but Bachelor Ding has to give me some preparation time."

Ding Xiyan didn't expect Mu Bai to agree so "thoroughly", she nodded with satisfaction: "Yes! In addition, we must continue to make achievements in the comics market and game market, and put more pressure on Ming's related industries."

"This is no problem. Guofeng Studio is a creative studio. "Inuyasha" will be updated continuously, and another game will be produced in the second half of the year. Our goals in this regard are highly overlapping."

Then Mu Bai changed the topic and made his request again: "If the Ming Dynasty scholars attack me again, you must notify me in time if you have relevant information, and you must become my backing and try your best to protect my interests."

Ding Xiyan thought for a few seconds before reaching out his hand and saying, "Happy cooperation!"

Mu Bai shook hands with her and said, "Happy cooperation!"

In his two lifetimes, this was the first time he was negotiating with an enemy's enemy. He originally thought that this kind of negotiation would be difficult, but he didn't expect that in just a few words, he was able to determine their respective responsibilities during the cooperation process.

After talking about the business, Ding Xiyan also breathed a sigh of relief, and she asked Mu Bai: "Is the entry finished?"

Mu Bai nodded: "It has been sent to the venue of the competition according to the address."

"That's good. To be honest, I'm still looking forward to your work." Ding Xiyan smiled and said:
"But one size is one size. Although we are now a cooperative relationship, don't expect me to take special care of you. I will give you as many points as you want."

Mu Bai smiled: "Of course, I still have this bottom line, and besides, I have confidence in my own works."

He still has some accomplishments in painting, but he can't draw those children?
The three stayed on the island until noon, and after lunch, Mu Bai continued to rent a sightseeing car to visit the resort with them, and even accompanied the little girl to build a castle on the beach.

As soon as the little guy opened his mouth, he tried to match Mu Bai and her mother again, as if she was worried about Ding Xueshi's marriage.

Ding Xueshi's mother and daughter did not stay for two full days, and they left the resort the next morning.

Originally, Ding Xiyan's main purpose was to establish an alliance with Mu Bai. The negotiation between the two sides went so smoothly, and she thought she had no reason to stay any longer.

But when she left the resort, she said: "The coastline of Pinghai Prefecture has a special flavor. After enough publicity, it will definitely become popular. After the art competition is over, I will come to have fun for a few days."

Watching Xueshi Ding's car leave, Mu Bai thought for a while in the parking lot, as if all the friends he had invited before had come.

Looking back on the more than a month in the resort, it was really fulfilling.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the first day of August, and the original painting work for the animated film was completed. Mu Bai originally thought that even with sufficient manpower, it would take about 25 days, but it took [-] days!
Such a large amount of work was completed in such a short period of time, mainly due to the working atmosphere of the studio playing an important role.

Whether it is Ji Yuanjie, Liu Zhe, or more than [-] original artists, they are all used to high-intensity work.

Moreover, everyone is at a very energetic age, and there is no fatigue or fatigue that cannot be solved by a night's rest.

In addition, the enthusiasm of the original painters is also very high, there is no one who likes to cheat and play tricks, which greatly drives the enthusiasm of the original painters' assistants.

After Mu Bai had seen the last batch of original paintings, he said to the students who were waiting around: "Now I announce that the work on the original paintings of "My Neighbor Totoro" has officially ended. Thank you for your hard work during this time!"

"Oh!" There were cheers from all around.

Mu Bai waved to everyone and said: "There are still six days until the end of the holiday, these six days will give six days of paid leave to the original painters!"

The original animators clapped happily again.

"The minibus to take everyone back is ready, and we will take you home directly. If you want to stay in the resort for a few days, the studio will cover it, but you have to pay for other expenses."

Mu Bai continued: "After school starts, the coloring of the original paintings will be carried out. If any of the assistants are willing to continue working in the studio, they will enjoy half-pay leave for these six days!"

This group of assistants have already gone through the preliminary training in the studio, so Mu Bai will naturally try to keep them.
