"The Academy Awards?"
"Do you know who won the Hong Kong Film Award?" Zhang Wenbing couldn't help but want to tease her, but considering Xia Nuan's identity, he swallowed his words halfway through.
Anyway, you're too late.
"You're so old and still not married, all you do is try to seduce young men. You old geezer, you're not being honest!"
As soon as Zhang Wenbing finished speaking, Li Baoguo slapped his thigh in anger.
"It's not like I'm introducing you to a wife, why are you getting so worked up?"
Li Dongyang: "......"
I wondered to myself, are all these older folks so outspoken?
Why would someone not care about their image in front of a younger person like him?
"Let me tell you, stop drooling here."
Hearing his teacher's words, Li Dongyang couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her not being married at such an advanced age, otherwise her teacher wouldn't be so strongly against it.
"Alright, let me tell you, stop coveting my student's beauty. No matter how much you praise your niece, it's impossible."
If this topic continues, the two veteran revolutionaries will definitely start arguing.
"By the way, Lao Li, any news lately?"
Zhang Wenbing said that Li Baoguo didn't know what he was talking about.
He was helping Li Dongyang with his grade.
Even though Li Dongyang's scripts are currently very popular, his level is still stuck there. Although he has money, he doesn't have much.
If you reach a higher level and the short drama becomes a hit, the commission will be substantial.
"This year is over, we'll have to wait until next year. Besides, Dongyang's qualifications aren't enough yet, so it's hard to say whether he can even get a spot."
"You don't need to worry about the quota. Just tell me if Dongyang has a chance to get the level."
The two middle-aged men suddenly started talking about serious matters, and their expressions changed abruptly.
Gone is the carefree laughter from before; now he looks completely serious.
That's a really fast change of heart.
"Dongyang currently has a hit short drama series with billions of views, so the quota issue is easy to resolve; all the company needs to do is write a letter of recommendation. The problem lies with you guys."
He knew that having a letter of recommendation from the company was far from enough.
After all, there are quite a few people taking the screenwriting exam every year, but only two or three are selected each time, so a large number of people are squeezed in during the preliminary selection.
People like Li Dongyang, who don't have enough years of work experience, are at risk of being laid off, so Zhang Wenbing took this opportunity to invite Li Baoguo over to discuss the matter.
After all, this guy is in charge of this.
"Just say the word, and Dongyang's spot will be reserved." Zhang Wenbing stared at Li Baoguo for a long time. No matter what, he was determined to help Li Dongyang secure this promotion spot today, no matter what.
Even if he doesn't care about saving face anymore.
Li Baoguo sat silently in his chair.
This guy used to deliberately mess with him when he was in school, and even after working for decades, he still can't shake this bad habit.
"Old Zhang, aren't you trying to ruin my livelihood?"
It was clear from their conversation that Li Baoguo wasn't embarrassed by the matter; in fact, he laughed as they talked.
"Isn't this because you're the best among us? You want me to go and take away other people's livelihoods? The problem is, they need to have a livelihood for me to take away first, right?"
"You have to help me think of a solution to Dongyang's problem, no matter what."
Seeing Zhang Wenbing's utterly shameless appearance.
Li Baoguo sighed.
You know that screenwriters need to have worked in the field for more than two years to apply for Level 4.
If I'm not mistaken, this child has only been out for about six months!
The traces of this back door are too strong.
Zhang Wenbing was displeased upon hearing this.
"With Dongyang's current achievements, reaching level 2 is more than enough. I haven't even asked you to reach level 3 yet."
Each region has a different rating system, and there are also special cases, such as scripts like Li Dongyang's that have billions of views.
Although it's a short drama, very few have garnered billions of views.
"Old Zhang, don't make things too difficult for me. Unless Dongyang produces another blockbuster drama that grosses over 100 million, this project is doomed."
Zhang Wenbing was waiting for Li Baoguo to give in.
He knew that Li Dongyang's work experience was insufficient and that his application for promotion would be blocked, so he didn't expect Li Baoguo to give him any special treatment.
After all, he holds a high position and has certain things he should and shouldn't do.
All he wanted was a single sentence from Li Baoguo.
"Okay, it's settled then, Dongyang, hurry up and thank Uncle Li."
Li Baoguo originally intended to come and catch up with Zhang Wenbing, but he never expected that this reunion would lead to his betrayal.
Zhang Wenbing has gone to such lengths for his students; no one else has ever done so much.
Li Baoguo patted Li Dongyang on the shoulder and said, "Kid, you're lucky to have Lao Zhang as your teacher. He was honest and simple when he was young, but now he's willing to do anything for you."
Li Baoguo spoke while laughing.
He was actually giving Li Dongyang a warning when he said that, and he knew all of that.
"Uncle Li, don't worry, I will work hard and will definitely not let my teacher down." Zhang Wenbing smiled broadly, his eyes crinkling. This kid had already made him proud enough.
He didn't care about anything else.
Zhang Wenbing was kind to Li Dongyang because he had long regarded the child as his own son.
In addition, Li Dongyang's ambition made him look good.
This son, whom he acquired by chance, is so promising; what reason does he have not to help him?
"Just keep praising it here."
"Seriously, aren't you ever thinking about getting a girlfriend?"
“I have her photos here, she’s very beautiful.” As soon as he finished speaking, Li Baoguo opened his phone and started browsing his niece’s WeChat Moments.
