When Lu Yuan stood at the feet of Huajin Company, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Huajin is located in the center of Yanjing's downtown area. In such a place where every inch of land is valuable, it is definitely not an easy task to build such a magnificent building.

The scale of "Remote" is nothing compared to Joaquin, the difference is not even a little bit.

Even Lu Yuan felt like he was seeing a mountain made of RMB.

He stayed here for about a few minutes, then put on his hat and walked into the Joaquin Building silently.

"Excuse me, sir, do you have an appointment? If you don't have an appointment, then please...ah, you are...you are..."

"Uh, yes, hello."

"Ah, Mr. Lu, please come this way! Mr. Xu has been waiting upstairs for a long time."

"good."

After Lu Yuan and a tall receptionist got on the sightseeing elevator, Lu Yuan leaned slightly inside.

He is a little afraid of heights.

However, some people seem to like the top floor very much.

For example, Xu Hong likes to sit in his office on the top floor, the 30th floor, and look down at the people below.

This gave him a sense of accomplishment.

After all, he is a person standing at the top, so he should also be at the top.

When Lu Yuan came to the office and knocked on the door and entered, he saw Xu Hong sitting at his seat, sipping coffee.

The sun shines on his face...

He took a sip of his coffee.

"Mr. Lu, please take a seat."

The smile was calm yet seemed to carry a sense of control over everything. Of course, there was more of a sense of unquestionability in the voice.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Xu." Lu Yuan sat opposite Xu Hong and silently looked at the surrounding environment.

Joaquin's office is very different from Lu Yuan's own remote office.

In terms of scale alone, Joaquin's office needs to be at least as large as three or four remote offices.

At the same time, the items placed are also different.

Lu Yuan's office is actually very simple. Apart from the necessities and the calligraphy and paintings given by several senior predecessors in the cultural circle, there is nothing else. However, Xu Hong's office is filled with various calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and seemingly some high-end-looking literary and artistic objects.

If Lu Yuan were asked to describe it, he could only use four words: "Fuck, so pretentious."

As for the others, Lu Yuan couldn't find any adjectives to describe them.

A typical example of a person who is uneducated and can only say "fuck" to others.

"Musk coffee?"

"Yes, either is fine."

"good."

After Lu Yuan sat down, Xu Hong asked his assistant to make a cup of coffee for Lu Yuan, and then looked at Lu Yuan.

He was dressed in casual clothes, with a simple and sincere smile on his face. His movements were very proper, and his eyes, apart from looking around, revealed a sense of confusion and envy.

It really doesn't look like the insidious and cunning person Shen Lianjie said. He is calculating from head to toe, and is even more shrewd than an old fox...

Rather than these, it would be better to say that Lu Yuan at this moment is like a young man who has just entered society.

A little ignorant and a little immature.

Of course, this was Xu Hong’s first impression of Lu Yuan.

"Mr. Lu, the reason I asked you to come here today is to talk to you about remote matters."

"Well, Mr. Xu, you say..."

"Mr. Lu, I like to get straight to the point and don't like beating around the bush. As I said on the phone, I'm very interested in your remote team." After Xu Hong said this, he kept his eyes fixed on Lu Yuan.

Then, he saw a flash of confusion in Lu Yuan's eyes, which was then replaced by a smile.

"Mr. Xu, you are joking. Our 'remote distance' is everyone's remote distance, and it cannot be measured by money. Let alone 2 billion, even if you give me 2.5 billion, I will not sell it. This is a matter of principle. Of course, there is also our common dream and deep feelings involved..." Lu Yuan looked at Xu Hong and then shook his head.

Xu Hong was observing him, and he was actually also observing Xu Hong.

But Lu Yuan was disappointed to find that there was no other emotion in Xu Hong's eyes except calmness.

Xu Hong is an old fox.

Of course, Lu Yuan noticed that Xu Hong seemed unusually confident!

Even to the point of being unbelievable.

"Haha, Mr. Lu, have you ever studied history?"

"ah?"

"From ancient times to the present, feelings are worthless in front of money. How much do you think your feelings for your distant love are worth? Or, how much feelings do other people have for your distant existence?"

"Mr. Xu, I don't understand what you mean. Sorry, I have something to deal with first." Lu Yuan frowned and then stood up.

"Haha, it's nothing. Mr. Lu, young people shouldn't be so impetuous. Don't rush to leave. Have you read today's headlines?"

"No... I rushed to Yanjing as soon as I got up today, and didn't pay attention to the headlines."

"Oh, that's perfect. I have a newspaper with the headlines here. This newspaper happened to be published by your Chaoyang Entertainment News... I just saw it by chance." Xu Hong laughed and moved a newspaper next to the table.

“……” Lu Yuan took the newspaper silently.

Then he saw a message.

"Shocking! Well-known Chinese director Wei Wuji spent hours chatting and talking with Xu Hong, the new director of Joaquin Phoenix, and it seems that he has confirmed his job change..."

"Shocked, Hundred Flowers Award winner Lu Yihong and Wei Wuji entered Huajin together, are they discussing cooperation, or...job-hopping?"

“…”

After reading these news, Lu Yuan was silent for a while.

"Mr. Xu, these stories made up based on pictures cannot explain anything. Zhou Shuai is such a talent."

"Mr. Lu, aren't you curious why reporter Zhou would suddenly publish this kind of news?"

"Mr. Xu, what do you mean?" Lu Yuan looked up at Xu Hong.

He saw a huge confidence in Xu Hong's eyes, a confidence that was difficult for him to describe.

as if……

In the glow of general.

"Lu Yuan, you are too young. Do you think that all the people under you are of the same mind as you? Or, do you think that you are the smartest in the entire 'Remote' entertainment, and the others are fools? Are they all fools with no desires or aspirations?" Xu Hong looked at Lu Yuan who lowered his head. At this moment, he was really a little self-indulgent.

Yes.

Self-absorption.

"They are not fools, and I have not treated them unfairly." Lu Yuan looked up and his expression became a little stubborn.

"Yes, that's true, but what you can give them, I can also give them. Not only that, I can even double it for them! People in this world are bustling about for fame and fortune. Lu Yuan, aren't you the same?" After Xu Hong said this, he saw Lu Yuan lower his head again, and then he laughed.

In terms of momentum, he felt that Lu Yuan was no match for him at all.

Even when facing Lu Yuan, he felt that he was an endless ocean, and Lu Yuan was just a small boat in the ocean, swaying constantly...

The hustle and bustle is all for fame and fortune.

He felt that no one could resist these words.

"I don't believe it."

"Haha, why do you have to go to the point of brothers killing each other? Lu Yuan, in fact, you have already lost the support of the people." Xu Hong took out his mobile phone, then dialed a number with a smile.

Lu Yuan looked at Xu Hong quietly, and then drank a cup of coffee.

He seemed to be pretending to be calm.

A few minutes later, the door opened.

Fatty Wei had a complicated expression, but seemed to have made some decision as he walked into the office.

Behind Fatty Wei are Qian Zhong and Li Qi...

"Ayuan, I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu..."

"sorry……"

The three of them glanced at Lu Yuan, then looked away.

"Tell me why? Did I do something wrong, or did I wrong you?" Lu Yuan looked at the three of them, his hands trembling slightly, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart.

The other two lowered their heads and said nothing.

But Fatty Wei shook his head.

"Ayuan, it's not that you did anything wrong, and there's no other problem. The key is... we want more."

"What do you want?"

"Fame and fortune!"

“I can give you all of these!”

"No, you gave too little..."

"What can he give you? He is a restaurant businessman, yet he has crossed over to the entertainment industry. Can you trust him? Can he give you a future?" Lu Yuan suddenly stood up and stared at Fatty Wei fiercely.

"I don't know what the future is, but I know you can't give us a future. You have talent and ability, but these things have nothing to do with us. We will never achieve anything under you!"

"So, you all want to change jobs collectively? You want to betray me?"

"No! Not job-hopping..."

"Then what are you going to do!?"

"Lu Yuan, you should leave the company, take the money he gave you, and go! Leave 'Remote' to me! Everything that comes next is up to me!"

"What's the meaning!"

"In the past two days, I have secretly contacted everyone in 'Remote'... They are all willing to follow me instead of you..." Fatty Wei and Lu Yuan confronted each other, and sparks flew between them!

"You're crazy! Do you know who gave you all this today?"

"I earned it myself!"

“Bang!”

"You hit me?"

"What's wrong with me hitting you?"

“Bang!”

In the sun...

Xu Hong, who was originally watching the fun, was frightened when he saw Lu Yuan take a step forward and slap Fatty Wei hard in the face, and even saw Lu Yuan pick up a chair and smash it hard at Fatty Wei.

Is this guy crazy?

Then he immediately called the security guard to pull Lu Yuan away...

"Boss Lu, please talk nicely if you have something to say. Don't hurt our relationship..."

"Xu Hong, you are not a good guy either!" Lu Yuan stared at Xu Hong fiercely.

"You... Lu Yuan, I can forgive your youthful recklessness, but I hope you understand that these are realities!" Xu Hong's smile disappeared and his expression became a little cold.

"Reality? Hahaha, reality..." Lu Yuan suddenly laughed, and his laughter was a little crazy.

It made Xu Hong feel inexplicably creepy.

"Lu Yuan, I..." Fatty Wei was also furious and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the security guard.

"Director Wei, you guys go out first. President Lu and I want to talk alone..." Xu Hong waved his hand and said this with that unquestionable and irresistible smile.

"Okay." Fatty Wei nodded, but before leaving, he still glanced at Lu Yuan and said, "Lu Yuan, your time has passed. I might as well tell you another secret. Zhou Shuai doesn't like you either. If you weren't good at making trouble, no one would like you!"

Lu Yuan looked gloomily at the direction where Fatty Wei left.

Then he took a deep breath.

"Mr. Xu, your move of cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron is very good! Very good!" When Lu Yuan calmed down and looked at Xu Hong, he suddenly sneered.

"Older people are more experienced. As I said before, Lu Yuan, you are too young, and you have taken too big steps in the past two years. You are not capable of supporting a company. It is better for you to just quit while you are ahead and take some money. Of course, if you are willing, you can come to Huajin, and I can give you the position of vice president of operations..." Xu Hong laughed.

"Haha, Mr. Xu, do you think you can acquire my company like this?"

"What else?"

"Mr. Xu, you should know our company's contract, right?"

"I know. I have investigated. What do you want to say?"

"Our company's contract is absolutely free. Even if you acquire my company, it will be useless. As long as they want to leave, you can't stop them... Besides, no one wants to be bound by your new contract."

"Hahaha, don't worry about these things. I've said that everyone in the world is after fame and fortune. A contract can't restrain people. As long as I give them enough, they won't leave. Contract? Haha... just a piece of paper." Xu Hong laughed extremely happily.

"The company's song, film and television copyrights and other things are all in my hands. Even if you acquire my company, it will just be a shell company!" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

“Hahaha, you don’t have to worry about these. The most important people in a company... shell company? Maybe you think it’s a shell company, but I think it’s a kind of wealth... Two best directors, an actor, a new actress, and a group of first-line stars in the entertainment industry, these things are wealth... These are more important than some copyrights. Of course, there are more important things..." Xu Hong laughed, and his smile became more and more brilliant.

"What?"

"Public opinion can create huge public opinion. I can hype up huge things, and in this upcoming Internet era, these are wealth. If my investigation is correct, Xia Hong and Wu Tingting are both the manipulators behind you, right? From the very beginning, they began to hype up your topic intentionally or unintentionally, right? Everyone thinks that you, Lu Yuan, are very powerful, but in fact, the people behind you are more powerful. Without them, there would be no you, Lu Yuan. I even have the confidence to doubt how many of your works are yours and how many are from your team. Others banned the news about you, but they did not ban your team in essence..." Xu Hong narrowed his eyes.

Yesterday, Fatty Wei told him some remote secrets, and Xu Hong naturally believed it halfway based on the information he had previously investigated.

"I won't sell 'Remote'!" Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and finally shook his head.

"Two billion three hundred million!"

"I said, even if it's 2.5 billion, I won't sell it!"

"Two billion six hundred million!"

"Xu Hong, you are going too far. I, Lu Yuan, have never been a money-grubber!"

"Really?" Xu Hong noticed Lu Yuan's footsteps and then narrowed his eyes. "If you leave now, you will get nothing. Although 'Remote' is a signboard, without them, you are nothing... If you stay now, you can get a lot of money... I can even consider cooperating with you."

"I need time to think about it." Lu Yuan finally shook his head.

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply!"

Lu Yuan's every move was in Xu Hong's eyes.

Xu Hong smiled.

Smiling with unusual confidence.

as if……

As if he had everything under control.

…

In the bathroom.

Fatty Wei touched his face.

Damn it!

This guy Ayuan really hurt me...

but……

The effect seems to be...
