Chapter 5: Preparing for Business Operations "Business Emotion Cultivation Plan"...
After the dinner with Xia Hui and Dong Xiao, Xu Zhi did not let Zhu Shengting and He Yan go so easily. He took them to the company for a small meeting separately.
"Xiao Zhu and Xiao He, come here, both of you sit down." Xu Zhi happily invited them to sit down.
He Yan sat opposite Xu Zhi's desk, and Zhu Shengting sat next to him.
He Yan felt uneasy again.
The two of them were used to Xu Zhi's attitude. Although he was Meng Chuan's immediate superior, he didn't actually have any bossy airs and was keen on greeting everyone and treating them as brothers. However, he liked to beat around the bush, which made people feel a bit bored. Like all big bosses, he liked to make big promises, and some of his ideas were a bit abstract.
The key is that he will find ways to arrange staff to plan and implement those abstract ideas. Of course, the final result is that he will be scolded by fans.
Then continue next time.
Thinking of this, He Yan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and hoped that Xu Zhi would not suddenly go crazy.
"You two should have seen the business plan this time, right?" Xu Zhi fiddled with a pile of documents for a long time, until sweat broke out on his forehead. Finally, he found two documents and handed them to the two people.
He Yan lowered his eyes and took it. It was a printed version of his and Zhu Shengting's business plan. Before reading the script, he had already read the electronic version and was already aware of some of the general processes in it.
"Yeah." Zhu Shengting nodded.
"Look, there's still a week left before the script reading. Apart from a magazine photo shoot arranged for you two later, there's no other work, right?" Xu Zhi took a sip of tea, took two sips, and exhaled hot air on their faces.
He Yan blocked it with his hand and frowned. He was a little unsure what Xu Zhi meant. Did he think they were too idle? Was he going to assign them extra work?
"Well, all other work has been completed. During this period of time, I plan to study the script carefully on my own." Zhu Shengting smiled politely and quickly responded.
He Yan followed up with the conversation, "Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, that's what I planned too."
Zhu Shengting glanced at He Yan and quickly turned his head away.
"Hmm!" Xu Zhi sighed, his expression a bit like he was disappointed in his friend. "The script has its own reading schedule. You guys should have read through it a few times now. Do you know what your most important task is right now?"
"Mr. Xu, please speak." Zhu Shengting raised his eyebrows.
The next second, Xu Zhi suddenly stood up, half-crouched in front of them, held Zhu Shengting's left hand with his left hand, and held He Yan's right hand with his right hand.
With a "snap", he clapped his two hands together, and with another "snap", he clapped his own hands on top.
"The most important thing for you right now is to cultivate your relationship! Otherwise, how are you going to run your business?!"
He Yan: “…”
Zhu Shengting: “…”
He Yan's mouth twitched and he wanted to pull his hand away, but Xu Zhi's hand pressed on the back of Zhu Shengting's hand like the Five Finger Mountain pressing down on Sun Wukong, forcing his hand to be pressed to the bottom and he had no strength to pull his hand away.
"Mr. Xu, that's right." Zhu Shengting still had a smile on his face, and he calmly pulled his hand out "forcefully", and at the same time lifted Xu Zhi's hand away, and He Yan's hand was also freed.
Xu Zhi sat back in his original seat and didn't pay attention to these small details. He began to talk about his plan.
"Well, you two had conflicts before, and the company turned a blind eye. But you're two grown men, so what's the big deal? Plus, you're both shouldering a daunting mission this time, so you need to cultivate your relationship. I've assigned you five tasks, which you must complete before the magazine shoot!"
After saying that, Xu Zhi rummaged through a pile of documents again, found a thin and slightly wrinkled piece of paper, and placed it in front of the two people.
He Yan choked. He looked at the form with the title "Business Relationship Cultivation Plan" and frowned.
What was even more speechless was what Xu Zhizhi said:
"In order to ensure that you can complete the task well without being disturbed by the outside world, I have specially prepared small cameras for you two. You need to record the process of doing these things yourself and send it to Qiao Ling to see and have her tick and sign this form."
"Meeting adjourned!"

"Oh my, Mr. Xu, you have such a wild imagination. You can even think of letting Brother Zhu and Teacher He Yan do all these things together. Aren't you afraid of a fight?" Zhan Ming looked at the form that Zhu Shengting had just handed him in amazement and couldn't help laughing.
As Zhu Shengting's assistant, he had a pretty good relationship with Zhu Shengting and would occasionally joke with him. Naturally, he knew that there was a conflict between Zhu Shengting and He Yan, although he personally was not quite sure about the root cause of the conflict.
Zhu Shengting glanced at him, Zhan Ming coughed twice and stopped smiling.
"Well, to cultivate feelings." Zhu Shengting said lightly, as if there was not much in his heart.
In fact, he was not surprised. Xu Zhi himself had a lot of messy ideas, not to mention that he worked hard for their business plan this time. After they agreed, the first thing he did was definitely to cultivate feelings.
However, he originally thought that Xu Zhi would not propose specific measures to cultivate their relationship, but he did not expect that he would directly arrange things for them to do together, which looked especially like something they had searched out from the list of 100 things couples must do on Baidu Encyclopedia.
It's still too comprehensive.
"Brother Zhu, what do you need me to prepare for you?" Zhan Ming knew that Zhu Shengting couldn't have asked him to come just to look at Xu Zhi's schedule.
"Anyway, He Yan also lives in Dongting County, so I made an appointment with him to come to my house to make a cake. This way it will be more discreet and won't be photographed. Please help me prepare more ingredients for the cake." Zhu Shengting stood up and poured a cup of coffee.
"Got it, no problem!" Zhan Ming patted his chest.

He Yan felt that if he had committed a crime in his previous life, God would have sent heavenly soldiers and generals to hunt him down instead of leaving him speechless in front of this "Business Relationship Cultivation Plan".
How is this different from some parents’ groups where they have to check in their kids on their homework?!
He Yan closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he resigned himself to picking up the form again. The first thing written on it gave him a headache.
Task 1: Make a cake together.
He widened his eyes and rubbed them hard, unable to believe the words he saw, and he couldn't imagine himself making a cake with Zhu Shengting.
It’s totally shortening your life!
He Yan closed his eyes.
"Oh my god, I thought you were enemies, but I didn't expect that you have developed to the point where you want to go to his house?" As a good friend who can hear He Yan complain about Zhu Shengting at least ten times a day, He Chulian couldn't help but scream at this moment.
As expected, he received a hammer blow from He Yan.
"Tsk, I'm just kidding," He Chulian smiled. "But this is really amazing. When you told me that you were going to start a business with Zhu Shengting, my first thought was, 'You two are quite a good match?'"
Normally, when He Chulian said this kind of thing, He Yan would definitely refute it fiercely. However, this time, he hesitated for the first time, and hesitated for three seconds without refuting.
"real……?"
By the time He Yan realized what he had asked subconsciously, the arrow could no longer be retracted.
He Chulian was stunned for a second, then burst into laughter like a flash flood.
"Yan, hahahaha, I'm telling you, don't get fooled by those CP fans and think you've really fallen in love with the person you're working for, hahaha..."
"Impossible." He Yan assured that it was impossible for him to fall in love with Zhu Shengting, not to mention that their genders didn't even match!
He is not gay!
"Okay, stop laughing. Speaking of which, I haven't heard you complain about him recently. It seems like you really plan to put aside your grudges and run business properly?" He Chulian patted He Yan's shoulder.
"Let it go for now. I won't offend others unless they offend me. This matter is clearly written in the contract. To put it bluntly, we are just partners and it's just work. A win-win situation is definitely better. After the cooperation, we will keep our distance from each other." This is what He Yan felt in his heart.
Moreover, seeing that Zhu Shengting was so ready to ask him to follow each other on Weibo and make cakes, he thought that the other party should think the same way, so he couldn't be too petty.
"Yeah, that makes sense," He Chulian nodded, then flipped open her phone. "Hey, you know how interesting the comments from your fans were when you and Zhu Shengting were following each other on Weibo? I know you don't read them, so I took screenshots of a few interesting ones and read them to you."
"First, this fan said, 'Oh my god, has Xiaoyan been possessed?! He actually followed that annoying guy on Weibo. How could he do that!'"
"Well, some fans are saying, 'Is this really going to be a collaboration? I'd be devastated! Please help!' If that happens, I'll just have to... just bear it. I can't bear to stop being a fan.' Sigh!"
He Chulian continued to speak several more sentences in a rhythmic manner, and finally ended the "report" with the speech of the super topic host.
"'This is the spokesperson for the butter factory. I hope everyone out there will be patient, don't believe or spread rumors, don't spread unfounded gossip, don't speculate about He Yan, respect all his decisions, and support his future work arrangements. We will always be his strongest support.'"
He Yan felt a little bit complicated after listening to the speech of his only fan, but things had come to this point. Firstly, the business was not something he could decide. Secondly, as long as fans of any type truly liked him, there was no distinction between high and low, so he had to treat them all equally. What's more, he would have to cooperate with Zhu Shengting until the end of the business period.
Therefore, he can only block out any other controversial remarks made by his fans.
Thinking of this, He Yan suddenly remembered that he had received several letters from fans after the event yesterday. He had not had time to read them carefully and planned to finish reading them later.
He Chulian glanced at the pensive He Yan and couldn't help but sigh, "Yan, I really admire you. The demeanor you show in front of your fans has never collapsed. You've always been so cool, calm, and polite. Your fans probably never thought that you would complain about Zhu Shengting yourself, hahahaha. They would be very happy if they knew."
"If you want to praise my acting skills, just say it." He Yan couldn't help laughing after hearing that.
He Chulian patted him and said, "Well, no matter what, this matter is already a done deal, so I will--"
He picked up the juice he had poured earlier and clinked it with He Yan's glass of boiled water.
"I wish you good business."

"A Sheng, has your work been going well lately?" Song Zhimeng slowly took a bite of the freshly cut fruit that Zhu Shengting brought.
"Well, I'm fine. I'm taking a rest during this period and will join the crew in a week." Zhu Shengting poured another glass of warm water for Song Zhimeng.
"That's good. If you are busy and come to the hospital to see me again, I will feel bad." Song Zhimeng looked at her son with some heartache.
"Mom, I'm not tired." Zhu Shengting stroked Song Zhimeng's hand.
Song Zhimeng looked at him with relief.
"Oh, by the way, A Sheng, I was watching a TV series recently and saw a young man who was very attractive. Let me show you. Can you help me find his name?" Song Zhimeng took out her smartphone.
Zhu Shengting has become accustomed to this part. After all, life in the hospital is often boring. Song Zhimeng likes to watch TV dramas to relieve boredom. Occasionally, when she sees a character she likes, she will ask him what the actor's real name is. After all, she just watches the drama and doesn't pay attention to the actor's follow-up list.
"Here, take a look." Song Zhimeng found a screenshot of her watching a drama yesterday from her mobile phone album and handed it to Zhu Shengting.
Then Zhu Shengting saw a very familiar face.
"What's wrong, Asheng? You don't even recognize this person?" Seeing her son's stunned look, Song Zhimeng thought that Zhu Shengting didn't recognize this actor either, and felt that it was a pity.
Zhu Shengting reacted and put on the same smile he had when he came.
"I know this guy very well, Mom. Do you want his autograph?"
"Hey?" Song Zhimeng's eyes flashed with surprise, "You really know him? Then are you two familiar with each other?"
Zhu Shengting avoided the main point and said, "Next time I come to see you, I'll bring you his autographed photo."

Due to the controversy between He Yan and Zhu Shengting following each other on Weibo two days ago, and the news of their cooperation that Meng Chuan released a few days ago, the forum is still very lively with discussions.
[Title: Tingsi and Yansi, please stop arguing. Can someone tell me first? So, are the two of them familiar with each other now?]
RT: He Yan and Zhu Shengting have been colleagues for two years. Their mutual following doesn't necessarily mean they're collaborating, right? What if they've become friends? Let's have a rational discussion.
[1L: OP, I can only say that based on the information I know, I'm more familiar with my cousin, whom I only see once a year at the Chinese New Year dinner table, than they are with each other.]
[2L: It's obvious that the OP hasn't done any in-depth research on their affairs. Did you know that one of the things Shengyanpi criticized was that they liked to secretly bitch each other? So when you ask whether they are familiar with each other or not, Shengyanpi says that they just need to be physically familiar with each other (not true)
[OP: I know all this about the two friends above, but this mutual following on Weibo is really weird. They said they were collaborating, but after they released a rumor, there was no further news. It's so strange...]
[4L: This is Dream Chuan's usual move. First a big one, then cool down the crowd before another big one. I still think it's a collaboration. Otherwise, if they were really close, they wouldn't even need to follow each other on Weibo. Why do they still enjoy watching their fans fight?]
[5L: +1. They've never been photographed getting along before. They never interact or pay much attention to each other. If they really became friends, my ex and I could get back together... I'm not kidding.]
[6L: But friends, you can't say that. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. The way they usually bitch to each other, they definitely know each other inside and out~]
[7L: Thank you, my friend on the sixth floor. After reading what you said, I was hooked again.]
8L: It doesn't matter. If we collaborate, everything will be fine. If we don't, I'll just spread rumors about the two of us doing this and that behind the scenes. Regardless, I'm definitely going to be at this feast!
