Chapter 4 Chapter 4 "Is one enough? If not, pick two more..."
"What did you say!?" Shu Yuquan didn't care about the situation he was in. He was so frightened by his nephew that he jumped off the bed.
The young man on the bed tilted his slender neck back and let out a few suppressed gasps from his throat. Shu Yuquan was too lazy to pay attention to him. He put on his pajamas and prepared to interrogate Ming Le about what was going on.
A faint sound came through the phone, and the voice sounded a little strange.
"Uncle, you are still exercising so late? You are really self-disciplined." Ming Le pinched the soft flesh on his belly and said with emotion.
He can't do it.
Shu Yuquan seemed very anxious and had no time to joke with him: "Mingle, don't change the subject. What do you mean by supporting someone? Where did you learn these bad habits?"
Ming Le clutched the phone tightly. "When I messaged you during the day, you already promised me. You can't go back on your word."
The young man stood up, poured Shu Yuquan a glass of water and handed it to him, whispering, "Be careful, it's hot."
He does things very appropriately.
Mingle has sharp ears and this time he is sure that there is someone else with his uncle. It seems that the voice is not a woman's?
So, they were just playing a game between adults?!
He thought he was exercising!
But this also seems to be a kind of sport, his uncle is really good!
Shu Yuquan didn't care. Whether the water was hot or not was a small matter. "You just said you liked a young actor and asked me to support him!"
He didn't pay attention at the time, but now he realized something was wrong when he heard the actor's name: "It's a man! Mingle, you want to fly to the sky? Do you want me to buy you a flying monkey?"
If Mingle really keeps a little star, won’t he be skinned alive if his sister finds out?
Although Shu Yuquan seems to be able to get whatever he wants outside, he is afraid of his sister who is ten years older than him.
When he was young, his parents were busy with work and rarely at home, so his sister was the one who brought him up. His feelings for his sister were not just respect for her, but more like treating her like a half-mother.
Seeing his expression change, Ming Le began to complain: "You promised me, but you didn't keep your word. I won't dare to look for you again next time I have something to do, Mr. Shu."
He checked online and found that many small celebrities became famous because they had financial backers and resources.
Lou Ye is very much to his liking, and he has such good looks. He also wants Lou Ye to become famous, and it would be best if he could overwhelm him with resources.
Seeing that Shu Yuquan didn't hang up the phone but was silent, Ming Le's eyes flashed and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Uncle, if you don't agree to me, I will tell mom that you were doing bad things with others while talking on the phone with me~" The deliberately prolonged ending tone seemed full of malice.
Little devil.
Shu Yuquan seemed to be strangled by the sword and suddenly lost consciousness.
But Mingle didn't let him go: "And, it was with a man!" Don't think he couldn't hear it.
So, neither of them should blame the other, because he has not done anything better than his uncle.
Shu Yuquan: "..." He admitted defeat. His sister had been forcing him to go on blind dates some time ago, but the girls were either daughters from scholarly families or ladies from wealthy and aristocratic families, and he was not interested in any of them.
Although he has always been indifferent to both sexes, if his sister and the old men and women in the family knew that he was fooling around with men, they would definitely be in great trouble.
In just a few seconds, Shu Yuquan changed his attitude: "Supporting him is great. My uncle will have someone praise him right away."
What if you invest resources for no reason and then the other party becomes ungrateful after you promote them?
If you are going to support someone, it is safer to write it down in black and white, and it will also be easier to control the other party.
Shu Yuquan was a businessman in his own right, and at the same time, a complete profiteer. He quickly figured out the pros and cons.
It seems that his nephew has potential as a businessman, which is good.
But obviously, he overestimated it.
Mingle held the phone and smiled secretly, that's right.
As long as he doesn't let his sister know, everything can be discussed. Afraid Mingle wouldn't be satisfied, Shu Yuquan continued, "Is one enough? If not, pick two more to keep for fun?"
He casually talks about supporting artists as if they are just like raising one or two pets?
Mingle was not greedy: "Hehe, thank you uncle, that's enough, one is enough."
He also looked down on others.
Mingle was satisfied with the situation. Seeing that it was already late, he went to the bathroom to wash his face. Then he went to bed and lay there, silently pulling out his phone from under his pillow.
The luxurious crystal chandelier on the ceiling had been turned off. In the dark room, the faint blue light from the mobile phone screen shone on his fair face.
Snake Battle.
Ming Le slid his fingers quickly, and with a skillful "tilt head kill" he killed one, two, and three.
This little trick has always worked for him.
…
Qixing said it wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small deal either. Ever since Lou Ye got beaten up by Mr. Wang a few days ago, he was asked to come to the company today.
Zhang Cailiang ran around for this matter and originally wanted to teach Lou Ye a lesson to let him know who the real father is.
But a phone call today changed his mind. It seems some people are destined to survive, and Lou Ye is the real father.
"Brother Zhang, I have caused trouble for the company. I am willing to bear all the consequences." Lou Ye said as he sat on the chair in Zhang Cailiang's office. He had prepared himself mentally before coming.
Although his agent was not kind, it was indeed he who acted impulsively first.
Zhang Cailiang's mouth twitched uncontrollably. What kind of talk was that? He was the only one who could bear the responsibility. He didn't even consider his own weight.
If it were before, Zhang Cailiang would not only curse at Lou Ye but also ask him to pay huge medical expenses, and also wait for the lawyer's letter from Mr. Wang.
But now, everything is different.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Xiao Lou, you're from our company. Even if you get into trouble, the company will still stand by you. How can we push you out?" Zhang Cailiang patted Lou Ye's arm, his attitude very protective. "Besides, you're my subordinate. I'll handle this matter for you."
If the boss lost money, he would kowtow to Mr. Wang. If others called him a dog, he would just bark like a dog. How easy is that?
He doesn't have as big a face as Lou Ye.
After more than ten years in the domestic entertainment circle, I have come to understand that money and power are important, connections are important, but face is the most useless thing.
If he had Lou Ye's face and appearance, he would have been a huge star in the entertainment industry and would not have needed to persuade this stubborn donkey.
Integrity cannot be eaten.
Surprise flashed across Lou Ye's pale eyes. Not only did the company change its attitude, but when did Zhang Cailiang become so conscientious?
"Thank you, Brother Zhang."
Zhang Cailiang was in a very good mood today, as excited as if he had taken drugs. "Why are you thanking me when I'm one of us? I want to discuss something with you."
Lou Ye looked at him.
"I was wrong last time. I didn't know that Mr. Wang was such a backdoor person. I'm really sorry to tell you about this."
As soon as he mentioned it, Lou Ye's face darkened several shades.
Seeing that he was really disgusted, Zhang Cailiang didn't mention it anymore: "Brother, I got you a good resource. It's the second male lead in a big production. Consider it an apology for you, okay?"
Big production, second male lead?
The resources that were impossible to obtain before are suddenly available now?
Was it a blessing in disguise for him?
Lou Ye: "Which director is this play?"
Zhang Cailiang: "Director Cheng, who filmed a palace drama some time ago and made the male and female leads into top-tier artists."
Lou Ye knew about this drama. Director Cheng is good at various costume dramas and has a good reputation in the circle.
But why would she fall for him, who is the second male lead, when there are many male actors in the company who are more famous than him?
"I don't have many works, why did Director Cheng agree to let me play the second male lead?"
Ever since he was fooled last time, Lou Ye has become much more vigilant.
After knowing each other for two years, Lou Ye often felt that his agent was unreliable and his moral bottom line was so low that it was scary.
There was nothing he thought he couldn't do.
Seeing that Lou Ye no longer trusted him after being cheated once, Zhang Cailiang was in a difficult situation.
But they are young people after all, so they are not afraid of not taking the bait, it just takes some effort. It is only Lou Ye, if it were other young artists, Zhang Cailiang would be able to fool them into losing everything.
However, the other party came to him and specifically asked to support Lou Ye, and was "full of sincerity" to him as the nominal agent, so he had to do this job well no matter what.
Even if Lou Ye knew the truth, at most he would be beaten up by him. Could he kill himself?
The more Zhang Cailiang thought about it, the more proud he became, and the more Lou Ye looked like a tall cash cow.
"What? You don't believe me anymore? Let me show you something." Zhang Cailiang said as he walked around to the desk and took out two paper documents.
Scripts and contracts.
"Director Cheng thinks your appearance and temperament are suitable for his second male lead. You are really lucky to have Director Cheng's favor."
Lou Ye carefully read the script and contract and did not find any problems.
The second male lead in the script is a well-developed villain, with a difficult life but a kind heart. Such a character with strong emotions and a dramatic plot is most likely to resonate with the audience, but of course it is also very difficult to play.
But if he performs well, he believes that even if he doesn't get a good script in the future, he will never have to worry about not getting a role in a film.
Lou Ye was a little excited and a little confused.
He was excited because his acting career was getting on the right track, but he was confused because he was supposed to come to the company to apologize, but now it seemed like a pie fell from the sky and he was hit by it.
How could such a good thing happen to him?
However, that was not all. Zhang Cailiang used his ultimate move and painted a big and round pie: "Now you believe it, right? Let's go sign the contract. Don't forget me when you become rich in the future."
The excitement was only momentary, Lou Ye still had his sanity: "Brother Zhang, I believe in the script and the contract."
I don't trust you.
Everything is implied.
Zhang Cailiang laughed awkwardly: "You are guarding against me, kid."
Lou Ye looked at him scrutinizingly without saying a word.
"Last time was truly a misunderstanding. Give me another chance, and I won't cheat you this time. Haven't you read the script and the contract? They're all true!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said this, because once he said it, Lou Ye became even more suspicious.
Zhang Cailiang is a shrewd old man, very slick. Why would you go to a social event without asking about the other person's character in advance?
Realizing he had said too much, Zhang Cailiang laughed twice more: "I'm really not kidding you. If I let you fall into that situation again, I will not be a human being!"
Lou Ye looked indifferent.
"If you don't sign the contract with me, don't blame me if you have a hard time in the future. This is a rare opportunity. If you don't want it, I have people waiting for you."
Zhang Cailiang gritted his teeth, his determination sharp as a warrior cutting off his own arm: "If this isn't true, and I try to fool you, I'll never get rich in my life. I'd even be killed by a 6'8" dark-skinned burly fellow!"
Lou Ye felt like something dirty had entered his ears, and when he realized what he had heard... it was already too late.
What a vicious oath.
"That's enough. I believe you."
Zhang Cailiang was relieved now. "So, do you think we should sign the contract now or in a few days?"
Lou Ye has always been efficient in his work and will never put off until tomorrow what can be done today.
"Today." Lou Ye stood up from his chair and walked out. Zhang Cailiang hurriedly followed him.
"Brother Zhang, if you are unreliable again this time, I will apply to the company to change your agent, even though you just helped me solve a difficult problem." Lou Ye said.
Zhang Cailiang was not angry at all despite these impolite words. Instead, he agreed in a good mood.
Lou Ye always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
The address sent by Director Cheng's assistant was a luxurious hotel with elegant decoration, which really looked like a place where business could be discussed.
Lou Ye: "Why do we need to send the room number when signing the contract?"
Zhang Cailiang pulled the contract out of his bag and said nonchalantly, "You can't let others wait in the hotel lobby. That's ridiculous."
Lou Ye didn't ask any more questions.
If Zhang Cailiang dared to lie to him, he would have no good life.
The hotel waiter was extremely attentive. He took the two of them to the corresponding room and opened it by swiping a card.
If it was just suspicion just now, now something is completely wrong.
Why don’t you knock on the door and ask the assistant to open it, but just swipe the card and go in?
Lou Ye's face tightened and he turned to look at his agent. Unexpectedly, Zhang Cailiang was prepared. He pushed Lou Ye in and quickly locked the door from the outside.
Can't open.
Lou Ye was completely furious and kicked the door with a ferocious look on his face: "Zhang Cailiang, just wait to be fucked to death by that dark-skinned burly guy!"
Knowing that he had been tricked again, Lou Ye looked at the furnishings in the room with red eyes. What caught his eye were the lace curtains floating in the room, and the roses and pink balloons everywhere, creating a very romantic atmosphere, covering the walls and the floor.
Anyone with a brain can see that this is a couple's room.
Lou Ye sneered, picked up the floor-standing celadon vase in the corner, and began to scan the room.
There's no one in the living room.
There is no bathroom either.
He pushed open the bedroom door and was stunned. The vase in his hand also fell to the ground inadvertently, making a crisp sound.
