"What's the matter with calling me here?"
He Yu opened the door and walked to the center of the office.
Wang Hanwen saw that his clothes were half wet and asked him, "Is it raining heavily outside?"
He Yu said, "It will probably rain all night." He took a piece of paper from Wang Hanwen's desk, wiped his hands carefully, and wiped off the water marks on his shoulders.
Wang Hanwen said "hmm", turned the laptop on the desk over, and pushed it in front of He Yu, "Take a look."
He Yu glanced at it briefly, raised his eyebrows, and became interested. "Are you scolding me? What you said is a bit harsh." He pointed to one of the milder ones and asked, "He said that I took the money and wanted to run away, and treated my fans as leeks. What's going on?"
"I was just about to tell you this," Wang Hanwen called up another interface and said to He Yu, "We expanded too quickly. We occupied a lot of market share in a short period of time and attracted a lot of attention. Especially after cooperating with Occam's company, we have been regarded as a thorn in the eye. Many of the resources of our artists have been affected to varying degrees."
Occam is the president of a foreign company who had previously had a video call with He Yu to discuss cooperation matters.
He Yu pointed at the mouse with his knuckles raised a little, and the back of his hand was slightly tense, "So, you want to target us?" Although he smiled, his voice was cold and without warmth.
Because the rapid expansion attracted the attention of peers, some small and medium-sized companies could no longer sit still and joined forces to deal with He Yu's company and take back the market share he had swallowed up, and even better, force him to spit out the big cake he had shared with Occam.
Wang Hanwen's eyes were sharp behind his glasses. He pushed his glasses down, and a cold light flashed on his face. "My agent has told me the latest situation. Other artists have suffered losses to varying degrees. Tan Linling has suffered the most. She has lost a variety show resource, two jewelry endorsements, and a magazine cover. All her recent schedules are cleared."
It is a terrible thing for an artist to miss a schedule during the rising period of his career. When Lin Ling's agent came to her, he could not hide his anxiety in his tone. But Lin Ling herself remained calm and comforted her agent instead.
He Yu supported his chin with his hand and tapped the table with his fingers.
Lin Ling is one of his signature men.
He said: "This is a key strike."
Wang Hanwen: "Also, someone on the Internet deliberately led public opinion and provoked fans, saying that you were going to abandon them and never appear on stage again. Because the news came too suddenly, and you were busy with your company's business recently, with only one variety show on hand, and even the endorsement was turned down, so they took it seriously and were taken advantage of. A big fan has already contacted me, asking in an excited tone if it was true, and if it was true, they would stop being fans and close the site."
He continued: "Those large companies have not taken action yet because of their status. When they take action, we will be in more trouble."
"Adding up all these things," He Yu stopped tapping the table, put his palm on the table, leaned forward, and said with a smile, "You tell me it's not a big deal?"
From what I heard, his company was not far from bankruptcy.
Wang Hanwen looked at He Yu, who was still in the mood to joke, and said, "I thought you had already thought of this and had a backup plan."
He Yu smiled, "You know me really well. There are jealous people in every industry, it's normal. Since they want us to keep a low profile, we should keep a low profile for a while. You should appease those artists whose resources have been taken away, especially Lin Ling. The public opinion on the Internet is easy to deal with. I will participate in a variety show, and it would be best if it can be recorded and broadcasted immediately."
Wang Hanwen understood, "I have a talk show on hand and I have invited you. This show is very feasible. But your schedule next week is very tight. You have to fly to three places. I am afraid you will be too busy."
He Yu sighed: "I flew to three places in one day before, and you never felt sorry for me."
Wang Hanwen ignored him and rearranged He Yu's schedule for next week on his tablet. "I'll send you a copy later."
He Yu said "hmm", "Now let's talk about the most important thing. Didn't I ask you to pay attention to the short video platform that has been popular recently? How did it turn out?"
Wang Hanwen said: "Short video platforms are just beginning to develop, and their general classification is similar to that of live streaming platforms, with content divided into popular science, food broadcasting, beauty, etc. Do you really want to develop in this direction? The live streaming market has become saturated, and short videos are just emerging, so the risks are huge."
He thinks this is too risky, and the impression given by internet celebrities nowadays is still stuck on their flower-shaking hands, big eaters’ eating shows, and their melodramatic love lives involving abortion/miscarriage.
"How can we know if we don't try?" He Yu glanced at the French window. It was raining heavily outside, and a layer of steam formed on the window, blurring his vision. "Economic prosperity brings spiritual poverty. The entertainment industry is developing rapidly. Who can say this is not an opportunity? Someone has to try it out, so I will be the first person to try it out."
It is often the first one that makes the biggest profit.
He said: "Put a hold on this business, keep a low profile, and develop the branch line first."
He wants to turn this future market into a place where he has the final say before anyone else has time to react.
===
In the cafeteria where Luo Shixi and his friends eat, there is a projector that plays the stage highlights of various seniors all day long, allowing them to make full use of their meal time and learn while eating. Sometimes they also play advertisements of the mentors, which shows that the program team has put a lot of effort into it.
Luo Shixi's final song has been released. He is thinking about the lyrics while eating. His chopsticks are unconsciously scratching the plate, and he is frowning in thought.
Gu Lian, who was eating with him, didn't have as serious a concern as him. He bit his spoon and complained that the cafeteria aunt's cooking was too delicious and made him gain several pounds.
After Luo Shixi heard a few words, he paused and looked down at his stomach.
It seems...he has gained weight too.
Luo Shixi sucked in his lower abdomen hard, and the fabric of his clothes at his stomach became dented.
Gu Lian was so sad, "What should I do, Xizi? Will my fans dislike me if I get fat?"
Luo Shixi pulled himself out of his thoughts and comforted Gu Lian, "You are not fat, you are already very thin."
Gu Lian wanted to sigh, but Shan Shian looked at him coldly.
"Why do you always come close to us two?"
Gu Lian was not convinced, "You two are not a couple in love, so what's wrong with adding me in? I'm not a light bulb."
Shan Shian asked him seriously, "Do you think you are qualified to be a light bulb?"
Gu Linqi was relieved.
How insulting!
Luo Shixi knew that the two were about to start arguing again, and just as he was about to try to persuade them, the projection in front of him changed from the boy band's stage to an interview with He Yu.
He said "eh", and when the two started arguing, he moved his bowl and sat in the front.
He Yu in the video is wearing a camel-colored coat with a white shirt underneath, and light grey casual pants wrapped around his straight and slender legs, which are crossed together. He looks incredibly gentle, which matches the soft beige sofa in the background of the variety show very well.
[Today is my gentle boyfriend, so addictive]
【Hege is finally open for business again! 】
[He Yu's fashion sense is so good, his dressing style is really worth learning for every boy]
[This outfit is from the brand endorsed by He Ge, it really suits him]
He Yu let his hair down, with the ends of his hair lightly brushing across his brow bones. Luo Shixi rarely saw him like this, and felt that He Yu at this moment was much softer than usual.
After hearing the host ask him, "Now that you have started a company, will you move behind the scenes now?", He Yu chuckled.
"It seems like I'm not out of date yet. I can still be active for a few more years."
You can immediately hear the fans’ cheers in the video.
"He Yu, you are not out of date, you are not allowed to talk about yourself like that!"
"I won't allow you to quit! I still want to support you!"
The barrage was also full of discussion.
[He Yu is out of fashion? Are you kidding me?]
[I was wondering why He Yu has been less visible recently. Turns out he became the CEO]
The noise at the scene was too loud, He Yu raised his index finger and made a hushing gesture, and everyone immediately quieted down, waiting quietly for the man sitting on the sofa to speak.
"As long as you still need me, I will not leave this circle."
A sentence that sounded like a promise made the emotional fans in the audience cover their mouths and their eyes turned red.
[He Yu is so warm, even a passerby like me feels crazy after listening to it]
[Recently, I’ve seen people saying that He Ge doesn’t want us online. Now that I’ve heard this, it really feels like a reassurance.]
[I knew about the recent rumors, and I believed them. I secretly hid in my bed and cried for a long time]
[How does he balance his roles as an artist and a company boss? Time is limited.]
The next second after everyone asked the question, the host also asked it.
The female host smiled gently, "But with the high-intensity work of being an artist on the one hand, and managing the entire company on the other, you must not have enough energy, right?"
He Yu smiled, "That's true, especially since the company was just established recently. There are a lot of things to do, and sometimes I'm so busy that I don't realize I haven't slept all night until the next morning."
Luo Shixi stopped holding the chopsticks, bit the tip of the chopsticks, and looked at He Yu in the camera.
Stars cannot make any mistakes in front of the camera, so He Yu's back is straight, there is nothing wrong with his face, and even the smile at the corner of his mouth seems to be carefully measured, which can bring people closer without making you feel overly intimate.
But Luo Shixi saw several times that when He Yu came to them for training early the next morning, his eyes were bloodshot and his tired face was hidden under the mask.
[It’s really not easy for him, fans please stop being too harsh on him]
[I hope he can have a good rest. If I can't see him, then I don't have to. I am very happy to know that he is still there.]
[When I think about how He Ge squeezed out time from his schedule to participate in this program to comfort us, I feel happy and sad at the same time]
After explaining his own situation, He Yu changed the subject and said, "But I'm busy recently because the company is just starting out. Once everything is on track, it won't be like it is now. Even if I sleep in bed every day, it will still be able to function normally."
[Hahahaha, I somehow thought of the overbearing CEO in the novel who does nothing but talk about love all day long]
[So you really don’t have to sit in the office every day? I thought CEOs were very tired]
[In fact, rich people are much more leisurely and happier than you think. If you want, you don’t have to work in a company for your whole life. After all, there is a profession called professional manager.]
[The sense of immersion is very strong, and it’s already starting to feel good]
The topic of conversation gradually moved in another direction and went wildly.
Having solved the biggest purpose of participating in this variety show, the remaining questions were left to the host to ask at will. But this casualness had to be within a certain limit, so as not to cross He Yue's bottom line.
The host smiled and asked, "So, what kind of girls does He Yu like?"
This is the most common question, and almost all celebrities will be asked: what kind of boys/girls do you like?
But it instantly ignited the fans, because before this, He Yu’s ideal type had never been made public!
Luo Shixi stopped eating completely and looked at He Yu on the screen with curiosity, wanting to know what his ideal type was.
Gu Lian and Dan Shi'an finally discovered that Luo Shixi had disappeared. Seeing him sitting in the front, they came over to look for him.
Gu Lian sat down with his plate in hand and said, "What's Mr. He's ideal type? I think it would be a bright and beautiful lady, otherwise he won't be able to win her heart."
Shan Shian glanced at Gu Lian.
Gu Lian: "Why are you looking at me like I'm an idiot?"
"I didn't say you were a fool, you said it yourself." Shan Shi'an lowered his head and ate seriously.
Gu Lian ignored Shan Shian and turned to Luo Shixi for recognition. "Xizi, you have a good relationship with Mr. He. What type of girls do you think he likes?"
Luo Shixi thought about it and went through all the types in his mind, but found that none of them were suitable. They all lacked a little bit of interest, and finally shook his head.
"I can't think of it, but the other person must be someone he likes very much."
He Yu is such a good person, his partner must be very good to be worthy of him.
Gu Lian: "I'm really curious about what kind of girl Mr. He would like."
Shan Shian picked up a piece of food and chewed it slowly.
What are you curious about? Isn't the person right in front of you? he thought.
Amid the shouts and expectations of the fans below, He Yu chuckled and looked at the camera, as if he wanted to look through the camera at the person who was watching the interview at that moment.
"The person I like is probably someone who looks cute but is very strong inside. He usually doesn't cry, but if he does, people will feel sorry for him. He has a soft personality and likes to act like a spoiled child. He can eat, sleep, and loves money." He Yu recalled the figure of someone in his mind, with a gentle smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Luo Shixi stared at the smile on his lips.
He Yu...it turns out that I like girls like this.
He lowered his eyes and poked the rice on the plate.
Just now I was lamenting that the cafeteria auntie’s cooking was so delicious that I gained weight, but now I feel like it’s just that.
The commentary was filled with laughter.
[Being able to eat and sleep? That’s not a high requirement. I can apply for this job! ]
[I didn’t expect that our He Ge’s mate selection criteria were so pure and refined. He simply had no requirements at all.]
[But... don't you think this request is too specific? It's like talking about one person.]
There was a one-second blank in the barrage.
[Fuck!!! Fuck, that seems to be the case!!]
[I immediately checked He Yu's schedule in recent months. Even the security guards around him are all men. Where do the women come from? ? ]
[There really is no trace at all. Do they not go out for dinner when they are in love? They were not caught on camera once.]
[Trying to figure out which one is the sister-in-law from his previous scandals, but suddenly discovering that He Yu, who never cared about these things, hasn’t had any scandals for a long time]
[It’s probably because he has only participated in a talent show recently, which is full of grown men, so what kind of scandal can there be?]
[Wait, no date, no going out, he... isn't he just having a one-sided crush on someone and hasn't succeeded yet, right? ]
[…I don’t believe it!!!]
Gu Lian smiled and said, "Looking at the comments, I'm curious whether Teacher He has someone he likes. The requirements are really specific. Who can see such inner qualities at once, such as cute appearance and strong heart?"
"What's that? She doesn't cry normally, but when she does, it makes people feel sorry for her. Oh my God, does this mean that you think the little girl has cried before?" Gu Lian said to Shan Shi'an with a smile.
But he saw that he looked at Luo Shixi in a very obscure way.
Gu Lian was just about to ask why you were looking at him, but he got stuck.
Wait a minute——!
Looks cute, but strong inside. Usually doesn't cry, but if she does, it'll make people feel sorry for her. She's soft-hearted and loves to act like a spoiled brat. She eats well, sleeps well, and loves money...
Isn’t this it?
Isn’t this——? !
The answer is obvious.
Luo Shixi was depressed and picked up the plate without eating. He wanted to tell Gu Lian and Shan Shian, but he saw Gu Lian looking at him in shock, his lips trembling. He originally had phoenix eyes, but now his eyes were wide open, which was really difficult for him.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Gu Lian: “……!”
Isn’t there someone with this kind of personality sitting next to him?
