Chapter 28 What is wrong is wrong

Hearing the address from the other side, Xu Qingye was in a daze for a long time before he remembered that it was a small ID that he had made for a joke. This small ID was only used to place orders. The other party could call out his ID, which obviously meant that they had investigated him. Now that they even found out his phone number, he was afraid that he had bad intentions.

Xu Qingye is not a good person either, so he is naturally not afraid of them. If he wants to talk business, he can do it in a proper way.

"I don't take every business, so please tell me first."

The basis of Xu Qingye's marketing and public opinion is truth. He never does anything to confuse right and wrong.

"It's not convenient to talk on the phone. I don't know if we can meet in person to talk."

The person on the other side chuckled and didn't intend to state his request.

"Of course, I'll send you the address later."

Xu Qingye’s studio is almost finished being renovated, making it perfect for business discussions. He will also feel more secure in his own space.

"Okay, I look forward to meeting you then."

The other party responded and hung up the phone. Xu Qingye sent the time and place to the other party. He turned and went back to the dressing room. Shen Que had already put on makeup and was ready to go to film.

"I have to go back to City A in a couple of days, so I might not be able to take care of you. Please take care of yourself."

Xu Qingye said something to Shen Que, but he was still a little worried, so he said a few more words to Fang Xiaoqi before leaving.

"Well, go ahead and do your work. I don't have anything important to do here."

"You two have such a good relationship. It's rare to have such devoted friends."

The makeup artist looked at the two of them and couldn't help but praise them. At first, she thought Xu Qingye was Shen Que's agent, but later she found out that they were just simple friends. However, what Xu Qingye did was beyond the scope of ordinary friends, and she, an outsider, felt very moved.

"I'm just waiting for him to take me with him when he becomes successful. You have to be strategic when making friends."

Xu Qingye's tone was quite proud. He was just lucky to have met Shen Que, otherwise he would have to go to the cinema to buy tickets to watch his movies in the future.

Chen Que looked at Xu Qingye without saying a word. What does it mean to be successful?

On the day Xu Qingye left, he held Fang Xiaoqi and talked for a long time. What he said could fill two pages. Fang Xiaoqi had thought she was very careful before, but after listening to what Xu Qingye said, she felt that she was very careless.

Shen Que sent Xu Qingye to the car, watched him leave, and then turned to look at Fang Xiaoqi.

"What did he tell you?"

Although Xu Qingye usually talks a lot, he never talks for that long. Obviously, something is not right.

Xu Qingye has been acting strangely for a while, there must be some connection.

When Fang Xiaoqi was called, she immediately started to stammer.

"It's nothing. I just told you to take care of you. I realized I wasn't careful enough before. If you don't believe me, look, I remembered a lot."

Fang Xiaoqi handed her notebook to Chen Que to read. It was densely packed with records of Chen Que's living habits. Chen Que glanced at it and found that there were some contents that he had not noticed much.

For example, although Chen Que would not deliberately mention that he did not like chopped green onions, it did not matter if there were some in the bowl. He would just eat much less of them, and asked Fang Xiaoqi to pay attention to avoiding chopped green onions in her diet as much as possible.

For example, Chen Que is more afraid of heat than most people, so he needs to prepare more cooling items. There is a lot of information like this.

"That's all, nothing else?"

Even if all of this was written down, it wouldn't take as long as the conversation between the two of them, so there must have been other things they said, Shen Que was very sure of that.

"That's all. Isn't that enough? I think I know you very, very well now."

Fang Xiaoqi forced a smile with some difficulty. Could Chen Que not be so sensitive?

"I'm the one who pays you, so you should be honest with me."

Shen Que's smile deepened. Fang Xiaoqi seemed to be seen through. Originally, when those beautiful eyes looked at him, he should have been unable to stop his heart from beating, but at this moment he only felt sweaty.

Fang Xiaoqi chose to surrender.

"It's nothing, really. Besides the things in your life, Teacher Xu told me to pay more attention to your emotions. If you're filming scenes with big emotional fluctuations, he'll take you out to play and try not to leave you alone. He's noticed that you sometimes seem to get too immersed in a role and have trouble coming out of it, so he specifically told me to pay more attention to this aspect. Teacher Xu is really good to you. I've been an assistant for so many years, and I've seen a lot of the ups and downs of the entertainment industry. It's not easy to have a true friend. You must treat Teacher Xu well when you become famous in the future."

"I know."

Shen Que nodded without saying anything. Fang Xiaoqi looked at him, trying to read some emotions from his face, but unfortunately she caught nothing.

After returning to City A, Xu Qingye did not rush to meet the client, but went to find Brother Huang first. There was no progress at Qingcheng Film and Television. The little footage that Lin Xiaoya mentioned and Cao Muan secretly filmed was almost useless. He had no ideas for the moment, so he wanted to ask Brother Huang for advice.

Brother Huang has been a paparazzi for many years and is well versed in all kinds of tricks. Chen Lin is an undercover reporter and his methods are relatively upright. I wonder if Brother Huang has any unorthodox methods.

As a result, as soon as Xu Qingye asked his question, Brother Huang sneered.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be such a naive kid. Public opinion can't kill shameless people, not to mention the real power behind them. Do you understand? Don't do these thankless tasks. You dug up some surrogacy news and you really want to be a hero. You can't beat them. Just make some money by filming some messy relationships between men and women."

"If public opinion is useless, how do you explain the last surrogacy incident? Even if it didn't have a direct effect, it must have had a promoting effect. We have to do something, even if it's just to warn future people not to be fooled." Xu Qingye disagreed. What Brother Huang said was too arbitrary. No matter what the result was, someone had to do it.

"As for the surrogacy case, you're just lucky. They violated other people's interests and the bottom line of the law, so they were quickly dealt with after being exposed. The situation with Qingcheng Film and Television is more complicated. The contract signed in black and white was entirely consensual. Even if there are some problems with the contract, they are within the permitted scope. Besides, do you think those who signed the contract were not able to react at all? It's nothing more than a gamble, a bet on who will be the one to succeed."

Brother Huang said it lightly, but Xu Qingye's mood was indeed a bit complicated. He was always thinking about the people who were deceived by Qingcheng Film and Television, so many people who had to bear huge compensation. Because they were positioned as victims from the beginning, they never considered that they were actually insiders. They stood on the edge of the abyss and thought they were different. No one thought that they would fall to the bottom of the pit and be unable to get up.

Xu Qingye was silent for a long time. Brother Huang thought he had figured it out and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere. After all, young people are very concerned about their reputation, and Xu Qingye might feel embarrassed.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but before he could open his mouth, Xu Qingye seemed to have figured something out.

"What's wrong is wrong. It doesn't become right just because both parties agree. I will continue my investigation at Qingcheng Film and Television. Even if it's useless and we can't fight the capital, as you said, at least I tried my best. Not everyone truly understands the problems in the contract. I believe that most people simply dream of becoming actors, and at least dreams shouldn't be trampled on or exploited."

"You're a person who can be evil when you're righteous. It's up to you. I've warned you before. Today, I'll teach you a trick. You need to learn how to leverage others' strengths. No matter what you do, don't just work hard on your own. Find allies. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. And if you want to investigate the contract, don't just focus on the contract. Open your mind and broaden your horizons. As long as you achieve your goal, you can definitely save the country in a roundabout way."

Huang took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. He looked at Xu Qingye out of the corner of his eye, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Thank you, Brother Huang. I'll think about it carefully. There's no rush for this."

"Yeah, you should save more money. It's very expensive to fight a public opinion war. I will sponsor you 300 water army when the time comes." Brother Huang nodded.

"Then I'd like you to raise more water troops during this period, and sponsor me more when the time comes. You know, I'm alone and have no money."

Xu Qingye climbed up the pole, and Brother Huang's calm expression finally couldn't hold back. He waved his hand to send Xu Qingye away, not even bothering to keep him for dinner.

After leaving Brother Huang's house, Xu Qingye contacted Cao Muan again and asked her to go to the company to prepare to meet the first client. Cao Muan was immediately excited when she was summoned. Business means melons, and she loves the idea of eating melons with pay.

Xu Qingye had limited funds, and the company's special nature did not require a particularly good location, so he found a very remote office building. He probably didn't plan to come here often, and it was purely for emergencies.

Zhou Xiong drove for nearly two hours before arriving at the destination. He suspected that they had already left City A. He dragged Meng Xi out of the back seat in annoyance. If this guy hadn't been a troublesome person, why would he come to this shabby place?

"Get in here and put away your gloomy expression."

Zhou Xiong got angry when he saw Meng Xi's gloomy expression. He wanted to give up on him directly, but he had invested a lot in the early stage, and he felt it would be a big loss if he gave up.

Xu Qingye's studio is very small, with just a conference room and an office. It was simply decorated and a sign was hung up, and that was it.

Zhou Xiong probably had never been to this shabby company before, and was a little dazed for a moment. Cao Muan took the two of them into Xu Qingye's office. Xu Qingye's office was the main project of this renovation. A huge display screen was installed to facilitate screen projection and explanation of various plans.

It is also convenient for Xu Qingye to watch movies and TV when he is slacking off, so he specially bought a good set of speakers for this purpose.

As soon as Zhou Xiong entered the door, he looked at Xu Qingye sitting opposite him. Xu Qingye looked a little too young, and even his face was too handsome. Even the star Meng Xi was a little overshadowed by him.

"You are the one I know you are investigating me?" Zhou Xiong was a little unsure. The man's marketing methods were sophisticated and mature, and he was very good at making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. In his opinion, he must be at least middle-aged.

"If the ID you reported is correct, then it should be me." Xu Qingye nodded and did not deny it. Cao Muan, who was standing beside him pretending to be his assistant, almost couldn't help laughing out loud. How many weird accounts does Xu Qingye have!
