"You can do it now, kid!"
Upon learning that Tao Mu had finished filming and returned to China, Long Yanei, who had been playing in China, called him and insisted on asking Tao Mu out to reminisce about the past.
So the two of them made an appointment at a newly opened Sichuan hotpot restaurant near Feixun.com’s headquarters. When Tao Mu pushed the door open, Long Tianao had already ordered various shrimp balls, yellow throats, tripe, fish balls, meat slices and vegetables.
Even the dipping sauce was prepared for Tao Mu, and he was especially considerate and picked up a plate of fruit.
"Come here!" Long Tianao smiled and asked Tao Mu to sit down. He was very attentive in arranging the dishes and seasonings, and poured Tao Mu a seven-tenths full bottle of beer. His movements were very skillful, as if he had done it before.
Tao Mu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You've been to a lot of dinner parties recently, right?"
"Hey. Isn't this just thanks to you?" Long Tianao waved his hand, not caring about Tao Mu's joke. He sat down and said, "Xia Xing Entertainment has benefited a lot from cooperating with Feixun.com. My uncle is pestering me now. He insists that I help manage Xia Xing's business. He also always takes me to various dinner parties. He says that he wants me to expand my network. You know, those old men don't like to have waiters serve them when they are talking about things. I am the only junior at the table, so it is my job to serve tea and water."
"Let me tell you, I'm now more skilled than their gold medal waiters." Long Tianao said as he put various ingredients into the pot. Then he used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of shrimp, a piece of yellow throat, a piece of tripe, and a piece of beef and gave them to Tao Mu: "Try my cooking skills. Just right, extremely delicious. Not a second was wasted."
Tao Mu looked at the ingredients in the bone dish with some doubt. They are just things that are simply put into the pot and taken out, so what else can be cooked out of them?
"Thank you." Tao Mu took a bite of the shrimp and smiled, "It's really fresh."
Long Tianao looked at Tao Mu eating slowly and said with a smile: "I said before that I wanted to introduce you to my gang of friends. After all, although we are all rich second-generations whose families don't work, we have great connections. Who would have thought that you are so awesome. You have made such a big splash on Feixun.com in less than a year, and you have made so much money in the stock market. You have also cooperated with Xiaoheng Capital on several projects. You are obviously a business genius and an upstart in the industry. My gang of friends can't even reach you."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say..." Tao Mu was about to say something modest when he heard Long Tianao continue, "Didn't I say before that I wanted to introduce you to my sister? I don't know how my family found out about this. They complained about me. They disliked my slowness and inefficiency, and let a rich son-in-law like you run away for nothing. My sister is a fan of your looks, and she got angry with me. She insisted that I prevented her from achieving the highest achievement she could as a fan."
Long Tianao said jokingly: "I am almost becoming the eternal sinner of our family. In order to save your brother, would you like to consider my sister?"
Tao Mu smiled and shook his head. After a moment's silence, he uttered vaguely, "I already have someone."
Long Tianao was startled and almost dropped his chopsticks into the pot. He subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"
Thinking of Tao Mu's schedule for the past six months, he frowned and asked, "From Xiangcheng? In the circle? I tell you, if they are really in the circle, just play around. Those little stars may not be reliable."
Long Tianao spoke faster than he thought, emphasizing, "You just entered the entertainment industry, so you don't know yet. In fact, some celebrities look glamorous on the outside, but in our eyes, they are no different from high-end prostitutes. Do you know that there is a menu circulating among us? It contains the prices of these celebrities. How much is a meal and how much is a night. If you are serious, tell me as soon as possible, and I will help you check if the girl has any criminal record."
In Long Tianao's eyes, Tao Mu was obviously different from those little stars. It's their hexagram. It would be fine if it was just to support a small celebrity, but it is not good if it is a serious relationship with the goal of getting married. It turned out that the girl had such a rich history. How embarrassing!
"Not from the same circle." Tao Mu frowned. He had long known that Long Tianao's private life was rather chaotic, and he was even more aware of Long Tianao's arrogant and dissolute temper that everyone looked down upon. But listening to Long Tianao pointing fingers at his lover, even though he knew that Li Xiaoheng was definitely not that kind of person. But I still feel a little uncomfortable.
So Mr. Tao, feeling very uncomfortable, decided to scare Long Yanei. He immediately picked up his chopsticks and put vegetables into the pot while saying calmly, "It's Li Xiaoheng."
With a "click" sound, the pair of chopsticks in Long Ya's house were lost and were mistakenly used to eat Hong Lang's steaming hot pot.
"Who, who?" Long Tianao was so frightened that his voice trembled. He actually compared the eldest son of the Li family to a stripper. Damn, how come he is so brave? Why is the heart so fat? No wonder I always feel my heart racing after staying up late for too long recently, it turns out it’s ventricular hypertrophy!
"Well, what—" Long Tianao coughed a few times and carefully discussed with Tao Mu: "Can we just turn the page on this matter and pretend it never happened. Let it disappear in this steaming hot pot. Is that okay?"
Oh, you are reciting poetry again?
Tao Mu glanced at the dumbfounded Long Tianao and said with a smile: "Why? I think it's quite funny. I'll tell Mr. Li about it later. Maybe he'll find it funny too."
"Don't you think that with Mr. Li's face, figure, and temperament, if we really put up a menu, the price for a meal would be at least five million?"
Long Tianao swallowed his saliva and thought that just for that face, I couldn’t afford to eat it for fifty yuan!
Oh, that's not right——
Long Tianao thought for a long time and finally came to his senses. He asked in a high-pitched voice, "Are you with Li Xiaoheng? The Li Xiaoheng of the Li family? The Li Xiaoheng of Xiaoheng Capital?"
Thanks to this hot pot restaurant for the real ingredients in the decoration. This box is silent. The sealing properties are particularly good.
Tao Mu glared at Long Tianao unhappily: "You can open the door of the box and shout again. I guarantee that the whole city of Yanjing can hear it."
Tao Mu was secretly annoyed. He's really out of his mind, he doesn't even have the ability to control his words. Why would you want to discuss such private matters with an idiot like Long Tianao? Could it be that they were really stimulated and wanted to show their affection?
Long Tianao smiled awkwardly, raised his paw and swore, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. If I do, I will never get an erection in my life."
Oh, this oath is sworn with true feelings.
Tao Mu really believed it.
Long Tianao drank half a bottle of beer to calm himself. Then he looked at Tao Mu nervously again: "Are you two serious?"
"Yeah." Tao Mu responded. Scoop up a spoonful of tripe and eat it slowly.
Long Tianao moved his lips as if he wanted to ask something. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just kept using the serving chopsticks to pick up Tao Mu's favorite ingredients, with a kind and caring look like an old father: "Eat more."
What do you mean?
Tao Mu glanced at Long Tianao and asked directly: "Why did you call me out?"
"Oh, yes, I called you out for something important." Long Tianao patted his head. Tao Mu's revelations just now were so shocking that Long Tianao almost forgot about the main business.
"We have signed a contract with Mango TV for the weekly drama "Fashion Storm". Mango TV knows that this drama is invested and filmed by the three of us. They also know that you are the producer of this drama. So before the TV series is released, they want to invite several leading actors to their variety show to promote it. They also want to invite you to go on the show. First, to promote the TV series, and second, to promote Mango TV through your Feixun website. Third, the anti-Japanese war film you participated in is scheduled to be broadcast on the National TV Station during the National Day period, and it will be broadcast soon, right? You can also promote that TV series."
It was a win-win situation for both parties, and Long Tianao was the one who played a role in the process: "You can also use this variety show to promote Feixun.com and Danmu.com."
"Don't underestimate them because they are just a local station. In fact, their ratings are quite high. They are not worse than those of national stations. Moreover, the audiences who watch this variety show are between 12 and 25 years old, which is similar to the age range of netizens in my country. So your customers are relatively overlapping. It will be beneficial for both parties to promote each other."
Tao Mu frowned, and was indeed a little tempted: "It's good. But under what name should I go there?"
"Didn't I tell you? You're the producer of Fashion Storm! The host will give you some footage, enough for you to promote Feixun.com and the anti-Japanese war drama."
"I'm promoting The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood as the producer of Fashion Storm? What does this have to do with that?" Tao Mu pondered for a moment, then said, "How about this. You discuss it with Mango TV, and I'll bring two actors from The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood to the variety show. Is that okay?"
Long Tianao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay. I'll ask for you later."
Tao Mu added: "Just tell them that I'm going to promote "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" right now. I'll put up a splash screen promotion on Feixun.com. If Mango TV agrees, I can write on the splash screen promotion that the crew of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" is going to record a show on Mango TV."
It was also a promotion for Mango TV.
Then, Tao Mu explained to Long Tianao what was going on with the Feixun screen opening.
Long Tianao suddenly realized. He immediately patted his chest and assured, "That's definitely no problem. The publicity is too strong."
It is simple, crude and very clear. As long as you are using Feixun, you can’t pretend not to see it.
Long Tianao blinked his eyes and asked secretly, "Well, does your Feixun open the screen to receive business?"
Long Tianao's ideal is to be a rich second-generation who can live a very comfortable life by receiving dividends every year without doing any work. But now that he has been tied to Xiaxing Entertainment by his uncle, he naturally wants to do more publicity for his own company and its artists.
Long Tianao keenly realized the publicity power of Feixun’s opening screen, so he wanted to cooperate with Feixun.com.
However, Tao Mu had no intention of doing business: "We also need to see how well netizens accept it. If it happens too frequently, it will cause netizens to be disgusted."
Therefore, Tao Mu's current plan is to make a splash screen for promotion only when Feixun.com's own project goes online. For example, "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" and "Fashion Storm", and another example is the online shopping platform that will be launched before school starts at the end of summer vacation.
In short, the benefits should be kept within the family. Let the netizens of Feixun.com support their own business, and pay attention to the frequency and moderation. I guess people will not feel disgusted.
