Chapter 373 The Pioneer Starts the Machine Early (Ch 373)

Qi Jia originally planned to stay at home with Zhang Ruonan for a few more days, but a phone call three days later disrupted Qi Jia’s plan.

The caller was Tang Jili, the director of the “Vanguard” crew. When the call was connected, the first thing he said was,

“Qi Jia, there’s something wrong with the time. The Vanguard has to start early.”

“Ah? Then when will it start?”

Although Qi Jia was a little surprised, he didn’t make a fuss about it. After all, it was not uncommon for the crew to start filming ahead of schedule.

“The day after tomorrow! Where are you now?” Tang Jili said directly without any nonsense.

“The day after tomorrow!” Qi Jia was really shocked. This was too sudden.

In the living room, the Zhang family members who were chatting were startled by Qi Jia’s voice.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ruonan sat over with concern and asked in a low voice. Qi Jia waved his hand and walked out the door.

Tang Jili laughed bitterly on the other end of the phone.

“I’ll tell you the specific reason after you join the team. Where are you now? Can you make it to London the day after tomorrow?”

It seems that this is really an emergency, otherwise Tang Jili would not be so anxious. Qi Jia couldn’t complain and said quickly,

“In that case, I’ll prepare tonight and leave tomorrow morning at the latest.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Let me know before you leave.” Tang Jili said and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Time was running out, so Qi Jia returned to the living room and briefly explained the reason to everyone.

“I’ll go pack my clothes.” Zhang Ruonan immediately went back to her room to pack her luggage.

“I’ll go get you something to eat on the way.” Zhang’s mother also got up and went to the kitchen.

“Brother-in-law, you are going to film with Brother Cheng Long, can you help me get an autographed photo?” Zhang Rut asked excitedly.

Zhang Ruoyao patted her brother and taught him a lesson: “Ante, your brother-in-law is going to work. Can you understand a little bit?”

Although the parents are somewhat biased towards boys, the relationship between the four siblings is still pretty good.

After being taught a lesson by Zhang Ruoyao, Zhang Rut no longer hesitated and shut up obediently.

Qi Jia smiled and said,

“It’s okay, just a few photos. My brother-in-law asked for them for you.”

“This time I’m going abroad, in addition to the UK, I’m also going to the United Arab Emirates and Zambia. Ruoyao, Qianyi, what gifts do you like? I’ll bring them back to you. If you don’t know what you like, I’ll buy them for you when the time comes.”

Zhang Ruoyao, Zhang Qianyi blinked her bright eyes, nodded happily, and said crisply,

“Thank you, brother-in-law!”

Upstairs, Zhang Ruonan heard the conversation between Qi Jia and her younger brother and sister, and a happy smile appeared on her little face.

The crew started filming ahead of schedule, and it wasn’t just Qi Jia who was affected.

The young assistant, who was suffering from the pressure to get married in her hometown, received Qi Jia’s call. She arrogantly pressed the hands-free button amidst the siege of a group of relatives.

After Qi Jia finished speaking and hung up the phone, she walked back to her room with a square step, packed her luggage, bought a ticket, and returned to Shanghai overnight.

Originally, Qi Jia and his assistant were planning to fly directly from Shanghai to London.

As a result, not long after Tang Jili hung up the phone, Cheng Long called again. After finding out that Qi Jia had not bought the ticket yet,

So I asked him to fly to Hong Kong first, and then take his private plane to London together, and we could go over the script again on the way.

The eldest brother called to invite him personally, so Qi Jia naturally had to give him face, not to mention that it could save money on the air ticket, so Qi Jia readily agreed.

On February 25, early in the morning, Qi Jia and his assistant boarded a flight to Hong Kong.

After landing, as soon as they got off the plane, ground staff drove over in a shuttle bus and took the two away amid the astonished gazes of the first-class passengers.

The other passengers behind them began to speculate about the identities of these two people. Could they be the second generation of the imperial court?

On the shuttle bus,

The assistant pointed to a plane in front of him with two long red and yellow dragons painted on its body. At the tail of the plane was a large red and yellow traditional Chinese character “龙” (dragon) and “Jackie Chan” (Jackie Chan) logo. She said innocently,

“Brother, look at Brother Cheng Long’s big airplane. It’s so cool! When can you get one? When I go on a blind date, you can drive me back.”

Qi Jia’s mouth twitched, and he laughed twice, feeling like he wanted to beat someone up.

“Thank you for thinking so highly of me. There are so many celebrities in China, how many of them can afford a private jet? Even if they can, I can’t afford it.

Besides, do you think a plane is a bus, where you can wave and it stops, and you can get off wherever you want?”

“Tsk, is that a problem?” The assistant said with a disdainful expression, lifting the backpack on his back, “It can’t stop, I can parachute, the king is back, isn’t it cool?”

Qi Jia was convinced. He found that Liu Yiran had the potential to become a social leader since he met Zhuang Dafei. His mind was becoming more and more unrestrained.

“I can’t afford a big plane, but if you want, I can buy a drone to spray pesticides on the ground.

Then install a few hooks underneath, hang you on them, and airlift you to the blind date site. What do you think? The King is back. “

“This is not safe, what if someone falls to death?” The assistant was actually a little tempted.

Qi Jia was speechless. He pushed his luggage out of the car and said without turning his head,

“What to do? If he falls down, we’ll have a big feast and make a big fuss about it.”

Cheng Long’s Legacy 650 was specially customized for him by Embraer, and it is worth 200 million.

The cabin is fully furnished with top-notch interior decoration. How top-notch is it?

Let’s just say that the space is a little small. If it were bigger, Qi Jia would have thought he was in the presidential suite.

In addition to the two captains, the plane was also equipped with four beautiful stewardesses in black stockings and long legs, two maintenance technicians, and an accompanying private doctor.

These nine people usually just need to get paid without having to work. Unless Cheng Long needs to use the plane, they can do whatever they want.

However, Cheng Long did not support them for nothing. Those who were selected by him were all skilled in business and versatile.

Just like these four flight attendants, being beautiful is only the most basic requirement. They also know tea art, massage, and cocktail making, and each of them is proficient in at least one foreign language.

This standard is almost as high as the mate selection standards of some small bosses with a net worth of tens of millions.

In the cabin, only Cheng Long and his assistant were sitting.

“Brother.” Qi Jia called out.

Cheng Long raised his head, smiled and pointed at the sofa chair in front of him.

“Come and sit down.”

Leaving the luggage to the stewardess, Qi Jia and his assistant came to sit in front of Cheng Long.

“Thank you for your hard work. The crew suddenly started filming. You must have been caught off guard, right?” Cheng Long put down the script in his hand and asked,

“It was really sudden.” Qi Jia didn’t pretend to say anything but it didn’t matter. He answered honestly, “When I received the call from the director, I was chatting with my future mother-in-law.”

Oh? Cheng Long obviously didn’t expect this. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

“I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault for changing the script at the last minute. How about I ask the stewardess to give you a massage to relax you and make you feel good?”

Hearing that there was also massage, the assistant was very excited and wiggled her buttocks restlessly.

Qi Jia saw this and thought that she was uncomfortable in front of Cheng Long, so he sent her aside to play with her cell phone.

After the assistant left disappointed, Qi Jia smiled and said seriously,

“That’s not necessary. I’m quite excited. My bones are rusty after resting for so long. I’ve been looking forward to joining the group as soon as possible.”

“You didn’t want it, so don’t say I’m mean in the future.” Cheng Long made a joke and took the initiative to explain to Qi Jia the reason for starting the filming early.

“You know the story of The Vanguard in the UK, right?”

Cheng Long asked. He asked this because he wanted to see if Qi Jia had studied the script carefully.

“Qin Guoli was kidnapped by Arctic Wolf mercenaries in Chinatown. Lei Zhenyu and Zhang Kaixuan, who were on vacation nearby, received the news and rushed to rescue him. They successfully saved Qin Guoli and his wife…”

Qi Jia answered without thinking,

Cheng Long nodded after hearing this, obviously very satisfied with this answer, and then said,

“Originally in the script it was just a simple kidnapping case, but during the Spring Festival, I went to Chinatown with my family and happened to see the Chinatown Spring Festival Parade.

The scene was simply too spectacular, with a procession of hundreds of thousands of people, so I thought, if the kidnapping case was arranged to happen during the parade, would it be more eye-catching…”

Cheng Long talked on and on for more than ten minutes, and Qi Jia became more and more surprised as he listened.

It was not because Cheng Long wanted to film in a parade of hundreds of thousands of people, but because the British government actually agreed to his crazy plan.

Let’s not talk about how many security issues are involved. While Cheng Long was talking, Qi Jia searched on his phone.

I found out that no film crew had ever shot scenes during the Grand Parade. It wasn’t because the crew didn’t want to, but because Britain didn’t agree. After all, it was too dangerous.

As a result, as soon as Cheng Long opened his mouth, the proud Daying actually agreed directly!

With all this pomp and ceremony, Qi Jia only wanted to ask,

“Who else?!”
