Seeing this, Granger's lips twitched. When he saw Lin Rui turn around and look at him, Granger felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. His survival instinct kicked in, and he instinctively stood up!

"Mr. Lin, I suddenly want to learn about your company's corporate culture as well."

Seeing Lin Rui open his mouth as if he was about to say something, Granger quickly pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase: "Take a look at this cooperation agreement first. If there's anything you don't understand, we can talk about it later."

Watching Granger leave in a hurry after dropping the documents, Lin Rui shrugged and began flipping through the agreement on his own.

Of course, he didn't forget to send a message to Xiao Zheng, asking Xiao Zheng to receive Granger.

Three minutes later.

Seeing Granger arrive looking travel-worn, Johnson smiled and said, "Looks like things are going quite smoothly. You've taken over Fusheng so quickly? Good, we can go back home and report to the minister now."

"smoothly?"

Granger said irritably, "Do you have some misunderstanding about what 'smooth sailing' means?"

"What? He refused?"

Qiao Sen's face was gloomy: "He doesn't know what's good for him. We offered him such excellent terms, and he actually refused?"

At this point, Johnson asked, puzzled, "Or did you not explain it clearly to him?"

Faced with Johnson's question, Granger hesitated, unsure of where to begin.

Lin Rui didn't refuse, nor did he set any conditions, and he hadn't even gotten to the point yet!

But could he openly discuss this with Johnson?

If that bastard goes back to his country and reports this to Abel, he'll definitely be in deep trouble!

You should know that many people in the department are envious of him.

Especially those paper-thin colleagues who coveted his seat—let's not even mention how many were behind his back—but this Qiao Sen in front of him was definitely the one jumping the gun the most!

"This matter cannot be rushed."

"As you know, the minister values ​​him highly, so we must have a serious discussion about this."

Granger said seriously, “He’s just a young man, his behavior is still developing, he might have one idea today and another tomorrow.”

Seeing that Johnson's expression softened, Granger pressed his advantage.

"We can't rush things; we must develop a more comprehensive solution."

"He has shown extraordinary talent at such a young age. This kind of young man with great potential deserves our attention."

"Think about it, if this succeeds, we'll definitely get a reward. I'm sure you don't want the minister pointing his finger at us and yelling at us, do you?"

Johnson was clearly convinced.

You're absolutely right!

"The more potential an artist has, the more eccentric their temperament often is. We can't rush things; we must find a way to win over Fusheng!"

Seeing Johnson's expression, Granger cursed him as an idiot in his heart, but on the surface he agreed: "Let's pretend nothing happened and discuss a more feasible plan tonight."

"I'll do whatever you say." Johnson nodded.

Despite Lin Rui's repeated attempts to persuade Granger and the others to stay and have a meal at the staff restaurant, Granger politely declined, saying he needed to go back to the hotel to rest and adjust to the time difference.

After seeing off his foreign friends, Lin Rui was about to go to the staff canteen for a meal when he happened to run into Chen Bin, who had come to pick him up from get off work.

So the two of them went to a restaurant together for a meal, and during the meal, Lin Rui brought up the matter.

"Mr. Lin, there's something wrong here."

"What's the problem?"

Lin Rui asked curiously, "Could it be that we really encountered a scammer?"

"He's not a scammer."

After reviewing the agreement, Chen Bin frowned and said, "The cooperation agreement is genuine, and some of the people who came are indeed from Rudy Films."

Lin Rui remained silent, playing the role of a dutiful listener.

"The reason it's strange is that when it comes to overseas cinemas, it's usually Shenzhou Company that sends people to make the deals."

"Overseas cinemas have never been fond of Shenzhou's films, let alone sending high-level executives to Xiazhou to discuss cooperation. This is simply unbelievable."

"Especially in Luo Guo, where the film and television industry is highly developed, it is even less likely that they would lower themselves to come to Shenzhou in person."

Chen Bin said thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, their real intention is not what they seem; they're probably after Mr. Lin."

Lin Rui briefly recalled what happened in the VIP room, and then tacitly agreed with Chen Bin's guess.

"I didn't expect the people outside the region to be in such a hurry. I must report this to my godfather as soon as possible."

Somewhat surprised by Chen Bin's attitude, Lin Rui frowned slightly: "Is it that serious?"
