Chapter 465 Perhaps Mr. Meng wants you to sleep with him.
Xu Yao suddenly barged in, so the negotiation could not proceed. Fortunately, the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation intention.
"I'm really sorry for today, Mr. Meng. I was thinking of having dinner together tonight." Lin Qi said apologetically.
Meng Bai chuckled: "It's okay, Mr. Lin, I often come to Shanghai, and we can make an appointment another day."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Meng is welcome to come often."
Seeing Meng Bai and his group leave, the smile on Lin Qi's face instantly withdrew. He looked in the direction of the conference room with a violent face, cursed in a low voice, and then strode back.
On the other side, Meng Bai turned back and watched Lin Qi's figure disappear through the car window.
"What's the situation with this Xu Yao?"
Hearing the boss's question, Hua Yan took out her mobile phone and opened the information she had sorted out before.
"Xu Yao was originally the legal manager of Fosun Group. In 2018, Lin Qi hired him to Youzu with a high salary and appointed him as the CEO of Three-Body Universe, responsible for the negotiation of copyrights related to "Three-Body". However, the copyright development of "Three-Body" did not go smoothly after that, and no particularly valuable derivative products were hatched."
"So starting from the end of last year, Youzu changed the person in charge of Three-Body Universe, and Lin Qi said that he would be responsible for the copyright development of "Three-Body" himself... It sounds a bit like killing the donkey after it has done its job."
Hearing Hua Yan's sigh, Meng Bai secretly agreed in his heart.
Today was the first time they met, and he didn't have a very good impression of Lin Qi, mainly because this person looked like a shrewd and mercenary businessman, which made people hard to like him.
But then again, he was negotiating business, not making friends, as long as the cooperation was smooth, the other party's character and personality were not within the scope of consideration for business cooperation.
Thinking of this, he also praised Hua Yan: "Okay, Hua Hua, the information you collected is quite detailed, and you have grown up well."
"You will definitely make progress if you are always around the boss and learn from him."
"I like that you always tell the truth, keep it up."
"...Okay."
The car drove towards the hotel, and Meng Bai flipped through his WeChat Moments.
The first person he saw was Li Yitong, who posted a still photo of her and her bestie Jin Chen, which was the "Wonderful Girl" they filmed together last year.
This drama was aired some time ago. It has a "double female lead" setting, and there is a vague emotional line between the two female leads.
However, compared with the double male lead gay drama, the "Lesbian" double female lead drama is less popular.
Fortunately, Li Yitong's "Celebrating Yu Nian" at the beginning of the year was a big hit, and she is very popular this year. Jin Chen has also been popular because of "Sisters Who Make Waves". In addition, their "Jin Tong Yu Nu" CP is quite popular, so the results are not bad.
This drama is broadcasted by Jiangsu Satellite TV and Qiyi TV. The ratings rose to 1.4 after more than ten days of broadcasting, which is a small hit.
After giving Boss Li a thumbs up, Meng Bai scrolled down and saw Meng Ziyi. She was filming "Eastern Palace" on the Bashang Grassland during this period, and she would post a few photos of herself riding a horse and shooting arrows from time to time.
Don't say it, this girl has not practiced for so long in vain, at least the photos look pretty good.
This drama is expected to be completed by the end of August, and then it will be followed by the variety show "Fifty Kilometers Peach Blossom Village" specially made for her.
Meng Bai also talked about the progress with Xie Dikui some time ago. The theme of the first season of this show is "Forest", and the location was chosen near the western suburbs of northern Beijing.
Originally, the venue was built before the New Year, but it had to be interrupted due to the flu, and it was not until recently that it was restarted.
At the current speed, it will be almost completed by August. It just so happens that "Eastern Palace" will also be completed at the end of August, so there will be no delays.
The program team is currently screening guests, and a part of them have been confirmed, mainly friends who are familiar with Meng Ziyi, such as Yang Chaoyue.
The limited group of this girl will expire next month, and will disband and develop independently. Without the activities of the group, the schedule is much more relaxed than before.
It just so happens that her sense of variety is also very good. She has worked with director Xie Dikui before, so she was pulled over so that she can also play with Meng Ziyi.
Of course, there must be more than one guest on the show. Meng Bai has been considering who else is suitable recently.
To be honest, this kind of candidate is not so easy to find. There are many popular female artists, but not many with a sense of variety.
But then again, Meng Bai actually knows such a suitable one.
Thinking of this, he flipped through WeChat, clicked on an avatar, and then sent a message.
——Shanghai
, Hongqiao Xiexin Building.
"OK, passed!"
With the director's voice of approval, the originally quiet scene suddenly became noisy.
"Huh..."
Bai Lu let out a long breath, chatted with the leading actors, and then went back to the small chair on the side to rest.
"Would you like some water?"
He Handan, her best friend and assistant, came over and handed her the cup.
"Well, hehe, you are the best to me." Bai Lu raised her hand and hugged her best friend, saying exaggeratedly.
He Handan pushed her away with disdain: "It's so hot, don't stick to me."
"I don't feel hot at all, but you are." Bai Lu complained, "But speaking of which, the air conditioning in this building doesn't seem to be very powerful."
"It's not the air conditioning, it's because there are too many people in the crew. With the lights and equipment, the effect of the air conditioning is just so-so." He Handan said: "Be content, it's much better than shooting outdoor scenes."
"That's right."
Bai Lu took the cup, held the straw in her mouth, drank while turning on her phone. Although the next scene does not need to change the location, the scenery must be changed, so now you can take a break while the crew adjusts.
She casually opened WeChat and was about to see if anyone had sent her a message, but unexpectedly she saw a small red circle behind the pinned "Boss" column.
"Ah!"
She let out a small exclamation. He Handan, who was standing by, was startled. Seeing her flustered look, he couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
"My boss sent me a message."
"Send it... Wait, who are you talking about?"
He Handan suddenly realized that there seemed to be only one person who would let her best friend call him "boss".
She asked cautiously, "Is it Mr. Meng who sent you a message?"
Bai Lu nodded.
"What did he say?"
"My boss asked me if I'm filming in Shanghai now?"
Bai Lu replied as she spoke.
Waiting for the message from the other side, the two best friends couldn't help but guess what this sudden message meant.
"Looking at Mr. Meng's tone, he should be in Shanghai now."
He Handan touched his chin and acted like "possessed by Conan".
"I can see that too." Bai Lu grinned, "I want to know, what does the boss suddenly want me to do?"
"I'm not Mr. Meng, how would I know."
"It's unnecessary to ask you."
The two stared at the screen of their mobile phones, and after waiting for a long time, the other side finally sent another message.
Meng Bai: [I'm in Shanghai right now, do you have time in the evening? ]
"This, this, this..."
Bai Lu looked at the message, stuttering for a long time without saying anything.
Is the boss...making an appointment with herself?
She didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: [I have time, I have time! Boss, just tell me what you want. ]
Meng Bai: [Okay, send me your location at what time you finish, and I'll pick you up. ] Bai Lu: [Okay,
boss, I'll send you the location later. When are you coming over, tell me, I'll wait for you. 】
It was not until the message was sent that Bai Lu realized why she had agreed without asking anything.
"Think of it in a positive way..." He Handan patted her bestie's shoulder, "Is it possible that Mr. Meng wants you to sleep with him?"
"Ah, this..."
Bai Lu hesitated in her heart. It seemed that it was not impossible.
But it was so sudden, and she was not prepared at all.
He Handan looked at the change in her bestie's expression: "Girl, why do you look a little bit expectant?"
Bai Lu quickly restrained her silly expression: "No, no... I'm just thinking about it, okay?"
"Haha, come on, I don't know you yet." He Handan snorted and laughed: "You reply to messages faster than I speak, I'm afraid you have been thinking about this day for a long time."
"I just think about it occasionally."
"...You admit it so straightforwardly!"
The two complained to each other, but after calming down, they began to hesitate again.
"If the boss really lets me, let me do that, should I agree without hesitation, or agree with reluctance?" Bai Lu murmured with her head propped up.
"Anyway, just agree to it?" He Handan rolled her eyes at her. "I can't say for sure about this kind of thing. It depends on what you think. But don't blame me for not reminding you. Mr. Meng has more than one girlfriend."
"I know, that's why I'm hesitating."
Bai Lu scratched her hair. If Meng Bai was single, she wouldn't be wasting time here at all. She would have gone back to prepare long ago.
After thinking for a long time, she suddenly made up her mind.
Now these are just guesses. What if the boss suddenly saw that she was also in Shanghai, and happened to have something to find her?
Anyway, she must go. If it is really what she thought just now, then... let's talk about it then.
Trying hard to control her emotions and finish the next scene, Bai Lu found the director and said something. It happened that she didn't have a night scene today, so she could leave early.
Back at the hotel, Bai Lu washed up first, and then started to choose what clothes to wear with her friends.
"How about this one?"
"It's too revealing, it lowers the style a bit."
"What about this one?"
"It's too tight, how can you wear it like this in summer."
"Then this one."
"It's not suitable..."
After picking up seven or eight pieces in a row, seeing that Bai Lu rejected them all, He Handan couldn't help asking: "Girl, what do you want to wear?"
"I think it should be according to the boss's preferences."
"Then what does he like?"
"...I don't know."
"..."
The two tried for a long time and finally picked a satisfactory match, and then started to put on makeup.
It was not until dark that Bai Lu's phone vibrated. She checked WeChat and it was indeed from Meng Bai, saying that he had arrived downstairs.
"Huh..."
Bai Lu let out a long breath, looked at her friend, and said firmly: "Then I'll go!"
"Yes!" He Handan nodded and held her hand: "Girl, the future wealth of our sisters is in your hands."
"What you said is like the mother of a brothel in a costume drama."
"Really? Anyway, that's the meaning, just get the point."
Seeing her friend about to go out, He Handan shouted again: "Hey, Bai Mengyan!"
"What for?" Bai Lu turned around.
"No matter what you choose, I support you!"
Bai Lu looked at her friend's excited expression helplessly: "Haha..."
"What?"
"You really have too many dramas!"
