"Hey, Xu Lu, I can finally get through to you on the phone? I thought you blocked me!"
Just after seeing off female reporter Bingbing and expert Zhao Lao and others, Xu Lu received a call from his boss, Boss Yang.
Xu Lu could practically feel the other person's resentment even through the phone screen.
"Ahem, um, Mr. Yang, did you need something from me?"
Xu Lu's experience in dealing with this was to quickly change the subject and get straight to the point.
When dealing with women, you must control the pace of the relationship. This way, you can leverage their strengths and turn them into your own, thus gaining an invincible advantage from the start!
"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"
The woman opposite, Boss Yang, was a little annoyed. For a moment, she couldn't tell who the boss was.
Why does she sound like a secretary reporting work, while Xu Lu is the leisurely boss?
However, Xu Lu's words did indeed divert Boss Yang's attention, and she complained, "..."
"Here's the thing, didn't you say a couple of days ago that you wanted me to get you more roles? Well, here comes the role."
Check your email. You're going to be busy from now on, with nothing to do but go shopping all day..."
At this point, Mr. Yang suddenly remembered something.
When Reba called her last time to report, she said that Xu Lu had a chicken cup that was the same model as the one at the auction.
Although we don't know if it's true or not, the one from Sotheby's auction house sold for a record price of 280 million!
“Um…Xu Lu, I heard from Reba that you have an antique called the Chicken Cup…”
After carefully considering his words, Mr. Yang asked.
But before the other party could finish speaking, Xu Lu directly denied it:
"No! Mr. Yang, I don't have any chicken cups on hand right now. Your information is outdated!"
"Keep lying, Dilraba already told me everything... uh, what do you mean by 'outdated information'?"
Boss Yang was about to make a sarcastic remark, but he noticed the second half of Xu Lu's sentence.
Xu Lu casually replied:
"Outdated is outdated. I've already sold that chicken cup, so I don't have it on hand now."
"You sold...you sold it? How much did you get for it?"
Hearing this, Mr. Yang became genuinely curious.
She didn't know much about antiques. Although she heard from Dilraba that the chicken cup sold for 280 million at auction, she just thought it was news. Under normal circumstances, who would spend hundreds of millions to buy a small cup?
Just then, Xu Lu casually said something from the other end of the phone:
"It didn't sell for much, only about 300 million!"
"Three...three hundred million?"
Ms. Yang initially thought she had misheard, but she quickly confirmed that her hearing was correct, and was immediately shocked:
"Three hundred million! Xu Lu, doesn't that make you a billionaire overnight? You..."
Mr. Yang felt it was a bit unreal.
Just two days ago, she threatened to deduct Xu Lu's salary.
But after hearing Reba say that Xu Lu made millions selling an antique, Boss Yang felt that the tactic of 'deducting wages' probably wouldn't work on Xu Lu anymore.
Who knew that just a few days later, Xu Lu actually made 300 million yuan by selling antiques. This... I bet he wouldn't care even if his salary was deducted.
This is so hard for me!
How do you manage an employee with a net worth of over 100 million?
Mr. Yang was extremely depressed.
She felt she was facing the most serious workplace challenge she had ever encountered, and the situation was extremely difficult.
"Hey, Mr. Yang, is your signal bad? If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now!"
Just then, Xu Lu's voice came from across the street again, interrupting Mr. Yang's thoughts.
She was about to say something like, "Even if you have money, you can't forget your work, and you should treat acting as a career."
But Xu Lu on the other end of the line had already hung up, which infuriated Boss Yang, who was at his wits' end but had no choice but to do nothing about it.
...
Xu Lu had no idea how Mr. Yang felt after she hung up the phone.
What he was most interested in right now was to see what kind of role the other party had offered him, so he immediately opened his email and quickly found the information that Boss Yang had sent him.
"After joining a talent agency, it's definitely much easier to get roles than before!"
Looking at the email, Xu Lu thought with some delight:
"And I don't know what Boss Yang was thinking, he just shoved several roles into my hands. Doesn't that create a conflict?"
Xu Lu took a closer look and discovered that Boss Yang had actually planned quite well, managing to stagger the timing of the roles in several dramas.
But just as the other party said, Xu Lu is likely to be quite busy from now on.
Of course, Xu Lu doesn't mind at all; his purpose in making movies is actually quite different from others.
Others might get paid for their work, but Xu Lu mainly did it to hone his skills and gain 'experience points'.
The benefits of 'skills' are self-evident; the few skills he currently possesses are already being used very effectively.
The 'experience points' mentioned here actually refer to the increase in fame and status within the industry.
Xu Lu is currently unknown in the industry, and even though she has joined a talent agency, the roles she can get are not very good.
None of the roles that Boss Yang sent him were lead, second, or even third male leads.
"But you have to take things one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time. Let's take it slow!"
Before, I was playing minor male roles, and I wasn't even guaranteed to get roles often. Now, at least I don't have to worry about getting any roles!
