Thinking about this matter in his mind, Lu Hao weighed it over and over again, but he just casually agreed with Wang Jianxin's words without changing his smile at all.
After all, Wang Jianxin and I were far from close friends, and we weren't even close friends.
Everyone has a debt in their heart.
That's what this collaboration is all about.
Wang Jianxin's core interests lie in his power and connections. He had previously taken advantage of the situation to let Lu Hao become the president of the Film Guild. There was no loss for him, and their interests were the same, so he could support it.
And now…
With the intervention of Coca, Wang Jianxin probably felt some kind of threat. The relationships with all aspects above were difficult to sort out, so naturally he had no time to take care of his own side.
Of course, Lu Hao couldn't completely listen to him.
When people go to a temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, they are praying for the Buddha to appear. If the Buddha does not appear, the believers will definitely tear down the temple.
This metaphor may be a bit inappropriate, but it is true.
No matter how high your position is or how powerful you are, if you can't get things done, you are nothing.
That's the reality.
If it really doesn't work, I have to think of other ways.
If Gu Ke became the president, given his character, his life would not only be difficult, but a lot of disgusting things would happen.
Wang Jianxin said a few words, vaguely testing Lu Hao's attitude, and it seemed that he had other thoughts.
But he didn't say much.
This is normal.
After chatting for a while and drinking two pots of tea, the meal was ready. He took out his treasured wine and sat down at the dining table.
No one else was arranged for this dinner. Wang Jianxin sat at the host seat, Lu Hao sat at the guest seat, and only Wang Yi was left to accompany them.
She was quite Buddhist, rarely taking things to heart, and was not at all interested in the intrigues between men. She just ate her own meal, occasionally picking up a glass of wine and taking a sip.
The wine is good.
Lu Hao has tasted quite a few good wines, basically all the high-end wines on the market, but he has never tasted this kind of internal special supply, mainly because he has little contact with their circle.
It is soft on the mouth, passes through the throat, has a sweet aftertaste, and warms the stomach.
It’s a unique feeling.
"Is this wine okay?"
Wang Jianxin asked with a smile, chatting casually.
Lu Hao also nodded and smiled, looking at Wang Jianxin, then at Wang Yi, "It makes me taste a kind of... uh, the taste of power."
Both of them: ...
Wang Jianxin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing. This was a direct and funny statement.
As for Wang Yi, he curled his lips and commented with one word.
"acid!"
Still has the taste of power!
Dare you be more pretentious?
Lu Hao took a chopstick of food and continued, "Hey, don't say I'm jealous. Drinking white wine really is like the taste of power. The first glass makes your face flush, the second glass makes your heart burn, and the third glass makes you feel ecstatic... The more you drink, the more you have, right?"
"Dad, is this what's going on?"
Wang Yi still looked noncommittal and turned to look at her father. Anyway, she herself had no real experience of this state of mind.
“There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Wang Jianxin laughed, took the bottle, poured another glass for Lu Hao, and filled his own glass as well. He raised his glass and pointed out the problem directly and frankly.
"Lu Hao, let me say something that may not be pleasant to hear. As the old saying goes, one step back opens up a new world. If we need to retreat, we should. It's not necessarily a bad thing."
He still seeks stability.
He has already decided to basically withdraw from the competition for the position of president, but at the same time he also wants to unify his thoughts with Lu Hao.
After all, after a period of operation in the early stages, in the eyes of many people, Lu Hao is basically considered a member of their own lineage.
But if I withdraw now, Lu Hao might still do something behind the scenes, and if things go wrong, I will be implicated.
This is how many things are, the choices are very clear.
Once you decide to withdraw, you must not hesitate or backtrack. You must leave cleanly and without any dragging your feet.
Hearing this, Lu Hao also understood what he meant. He was about to express his position completely. The hand holding the wine glass froze in mid-air. He pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled.
"I'll think about it."
The so-called "consider it" is, of course, just a nice way of saying it.
When adults discuss things, if there is no immediate agreement, it means rejection; if there is no complete rejection, there is still a possibility of negotiation. These are all unspoken rules.
"Okay, that's okay, think about it carefully."
Wang Jianxin also said this with a smile, but a hint of deep meaning emerged in the depths of his pupils.
…
Since they had nothing to say, the meal was boring. After drinking two more glasses of wine and eating some dishes, Lu Hao saw that it was almost time, so he politely stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Wang Jianxin waved his hand and asked Wang Yi to send Lu Hao out.
Even if the deal fails, benevolence and righteousness still exist.
Besides, Lu Hao is no longer an ordinary person. His net worth of hundreds of billions is still quite heavy. Even in those top families, he is qualified to participate in family decision-making.
To be fair, Wang Jianxin still values Lu Hao's potential.
But there was no way. Anyone who could rise from nothing to this point was no pushover. He wanted to completely conquer Lu Hao, but that was a fantasy.
Wang Jianxin also understood this.
Went out the door.
The cool night breeze blew on Lu Hao's face, which was a little red and hot. He sobered up a little, looked at Wang Yi next to him, and said with a smile: "No need for you to send me off. I can go back by myself."
