Previously, even if Shirley sold off all her property, the shooting could only be maintained for a period of time, so she was busy raising money recently.
In this process, Shirley had been refused for many time, but she also exercised her indomitable spirit. She knew that no one was obligated to help her. It was their duty not to help, but a favor if helping her. Therefore, Shirley had always maintained a very common state of mind.
At this time, in a company's meeting room, Shirley waited for their general manager for a long time, until his assistant came in and told her that their general manager didn't want to see her.
Shirley thought to herself, 'well, it's not the first time that I'm not allowed to see them. At least he let me in and sit for a while. I have been satisfied. Some people know that I'm here to raise money for TV series and even don't allow me to enter the company gate. Next time I will definitely succeed.' Shirley comforted herself in this way.
But to be honest, Shirley was a little disappointed. After all, there was not much time left for her to raise money, and the new drama must not stop. If she didn't have enough funds, how could she win? She pushed the door open and was about to leave the company.
However, she heard someone calling her name from behind. She looked back and found a handsome and energetic man in business suit. But from the details of his sleeves and the scarf, she could tell that he was a well-educated man who was good at taking care of himself, and very smart.
The man was getting closer and closer, but Shirley didn't remember him, nor did she remembered this man was mention in the book.
"Shirley, is that you? Do I recognize the wrong person?" The man's eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty.
"Yes, it's me. But you are... " The man left a good first impression on him, so he didn't reject to have more contact with him.
"You don't even know me? We haven't met each other for three years after graduation. You can't recognize me? Have I changed so much?" The man felt strange. He felt that the look of Shirley was like that when seeing a stranger. Didn't she really recognize him?
"I remember you. You are that..." In fact, Shirley didn't remember at all. She couldn't remember because she didn't know him at all. She said that just to ease the embarrassment.
"I'm David."
"Yes, yes, David. You have changed so much. It's true that clothes make a man just as a saddle makes a horse. You are much more handsome than when you were in college. Aren't you abroad? You have come back to develop your career?" As soon as he mentioned the name, Shirley remembered it. When she met her good friend in college, she told her a lot of interesting things happened in college, including David. If she remembered correctly, this man seemed to have a crush on Shirley at school. But at that time, Shirley was arrogant and refused him all the time. But now it seemed that he didn't give up and still liked Shirley.
"Yes, China is developing very fast now, so I choose to come back." The man answered Shirley's question seriously.
"Why are you here? Do you work here?"
"Sort of. In fact, I'm the general manager of this company." The man said shyly with pride. After all, she was the woman he liked.
Shirley was surprised. He was the general manager who refused to meet her.
"Stop talking here. Let's go to the restaurant next to the company. It's a nice place. My treat."
Shirley and David went to that restaurant. The man pulled out a chair and let Shirley sit down. Then he sat on his seat and ordered a few dishes.
"I forgot to ask you why you are in our company."
"Actually, I'm here to raise money. Now my father is in hospital abroad, so I have to take care of the company. But things are not going well. " Shirley told the truth.
"Are you the representative of the company that my assistant told me to raise money? I'm really sorry. He didn't mention your name and company to me just now. Otherwise, I would definitely meet you." David looked ashamed. He was annoyed that he had left such a bad impression on the first time he met the woman he liked after he came back.
"It doesn't matter. I didn't know you are the general manager of this company. "
"Why did you raise money? Did you encounter any difficulties?" David asked with concern.
"I was shooting a new TV drama recently, but there was a financial problem."
"Well, if you don't mind, I'm willing to give you my full support. If you need anything, just tell me. I will try my best to help you. " In order to save his face, David made a promise to Shirley.
"Thank you so much. Now I finally understand the saying that everyone has to rely on friends when he is out." Hearing that David was willing to help her with all his strength, Shirley was very excited.
