Chapter 51 Yingshan Mental Hospital

Shencheng, Zilong District.

Meng Shu drove his new car that he just picked up last week, driving slowly on the busy road, stopping and stopping, which was annoying.

Here, there is a lot of traffic and people, and at a glance, it is full of people.

On this day in July, the weather is hot.

The hot sunshine scorched the earth, making everyone around him look red.

It was obviously Wednesday, but there were so many people outside, which made Meng Shu a little curious.

Don't you even work?

He shook his head and simply leaned on the chair, waiting for the traffic to move.

And in the back, there were three people sitting.

They are Xia Nianzhen, Qiu Yuan, and a female photographer named Zhang.

The purpose of their trip was to go to the agreed-upon location to collect materials for the building used in the game map.

Animator Xu Hong did not come, and he was arranged to receive the interviewers in the company together with Finance Sister Mei.

At yesterday's meeting, Meng Shu had clearly explained the plans for the new game to several employees.

He flipped through the PPT throughout and explained the content, gameplay, mechanics, plot, etc.

Then he answered several questions of the employees and arranged work for them.

Today, I took the scene designer Xia Nianzhen and the 3D modeler Qiu Yuan to the site for an inspection to let them know how to make the rough map of the game.

But what Meng Shu wanted to go was not a hotel, but another place.

At this time, the music rang softly, which was the ringtone of his cell phone.

Meng Shu picked it up and looked at it. It showed an unmarked number.

He didn't hesitate or hang up, but answered directly and asked the question.

Because he knows who is on the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Li?"

Soon, the phone rang with a response.

[Hello, Mr. Meng, where are you now?]

Meng Shu glanced at the navigation, inserted the phone into the holder, turned on the speaker, and responded.

"It's still a little far away, about 40 minutes. We just entered Zilong District and the road was a bit congested."

The person on the other end of the phone suddenly felt relieved and expressed understanding.

[Okay, Mr. Meng, it’s okay. I just want to ask about the situation. Then I will wait for you here slowly and won’t disturb you while driving.]

"Okay, it won't take long, it's almost over."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Shu looked at the street and sighed.

Xia Nianzhen behind her opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

At yesterday's meeting, Mr. Meng said that he did not need to clock in at the company today, but would go out to work with Brother Qiu.

Then give your address and the boss will drive over to pick you up.

At first, she thought she was going to a hotel.

After all, it was said in yesterday’s meeting that the game takes place in a luxury hotel.

But looking at the car’s navigation, it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Because the destination is the suburb of Yingshan.

Xia Nianzhen glanced at Qiu Yuan, who was also puzzled, so she thought about it and spoke out of curiosity.

"Mr. Meng, which hotel are we going to?"

"hotel?"

Meng Shu drove the car without looking back.

"Instead of going to the hotel, let's go to a building in Yingshan."

Forehead.?

Doesn’t the game say it takes place in a hotel?

So why go to a building outside the suburbs?

Could it be that the hotels there are better and bigger?

But what kind of hotel would open in the suburbs?

"Mr. Meng, is there a hotel in Yingshan? I have no impression."

Qiu Yuan opened his mouth and looked very curious.

There are so many hotels in the city, why do we have to go so far to Yingshan?

The female photographer on the other side closed her eyes and meditated throughout the whole process, not paying attention or interrupting, and was quiet and composed.

"There's no hotel there, just an abandoned mental hospital."

Meng Shu replied casually while driving, completely unaware that his words shocked Xia Nianzhen.

"Ah!? Mr. Meng.! Why do you want to go to a mental hospital? Our game is still abandoned in the hotel!"

Although Qiu Yuan did not speak, he kept nodding his head to show his confusion.

After hearing this, Meng Shu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled softly.

"The hotel really meets the requirements of our game scene, and my initial plan was to shoot in the hotel. But I still want to keep it simple. Although the hotel will not prohibit guests from taking photos, we can observe and take a lot of photos like this

It's obviously not possible. Moreover, using other people's decorations in your own game involves commercial infringement, so if you want to use the hotel's decorations, you can only negotiate a cooperation with the other party and sign a 'lease' contract."

Boss Meng's words made Xia Nianzhen and Qiu Yuan suddenly understand.

The meaning behind this statement is that going to a hotel costs money, and it seems to be quite a lot.

So Boss Meng was unwilling and chose an abandoned mental hospital as the next best option. After all, it didn't cost any money.

"I understand, boss, it will definitely cost a lot of money to discuss cooperation with the hotel. The mental hospital is free of charge, so that's why I went here."

Meng Shu chuckled again and shook his head.

"No, the mental hospital also requires money. The landlord is Mr. Li whom I just contacted."

?

Ah this

Xia Nianzhen's brain is a bit exhausted.

It’s understandable that the hotel doesn’t want to pay for it, it’s too expensive after all.

But abandoned mental hospitals also cost money, so why not just choose a hotel?

"Um because mental hospitals are cheaper than hotels?"

Xia Nianzhen asked tentatively, her eyes full of uncertainty.

Meng Shu, who was driving, turned a corner and started to accelerate.

After hearing this, he nodded.

"Cheap is indeed one of the reasons, but it is not enough for me to choose this place. What really convinced me to discuss cooperation with Mr. Li was another reason. Why don't you know?"

Forehead.?

Xia Nianzhen and Qiu Yuan looked at each other, and both saw doubts in their eyes.

What do we know?

Isn't this a matter between your bosses?

The reason that can make the boss finalize his decision must be a good reason. How do our employees know?

This question is so baffling!

"Well, how do we know?"

Qiu Yuan responded awkwardly and was speechless.

Unexpectedly, Meng Shu suddenly said something that shocked them.

"Didn't you stay in Shencheng for several years? Don't you know about the incident at Yingshan Mental Hospital?"

Xia Nianzhen and Qiu Yuan were both stunned, with strange expressions on their faces.

What the boss said makes it sound like there is something wrong with the mental hospital.

It seems that what attracts the bosses is not the cheap price, but another reason that they don't want to know right now.
