"Hey! Is Director Wang busy?"
"Even if you're busy, you still have to make time to call, right?"
"Is it urgent that you're calling so late?"
"It really is an urgent matter."
"I want to ask you about someone."
"Please feel free to speak if you need anything."
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
Do you still remember Li Dongyang from your previous company?
Wang Jiansheng's face changed instantly at the mention of Li Dongyang's name.
"Yes, he was a new screenwriter at the company before."
"It's good that you know me. I called you this time because I wanted to ask you about something."
Do you have Li Dongyang's phone number?
He might not actually have Li Dongyang's phone number.
"I've been away from the company for over a month, so I still need to find the phone number."
"By the way, Manager Liu, why are you looking for Li Dongyang's phone number?"
"I'll talk to you about this later. You help me look for it first!"
"I'll treat you to drinks later."
To be honest, Wang Jiansheng felt a tightness in his chest whenever he heard the name Li Dongyang.
Regardless of the other party's status as a mid-to-senior level manager in the company, it's always good to build a good relationship.
Although Wang Jiansheng was very reluctant, he really had to help with this.
"Manager Liu, please wait a moment. I'll ask someone I know to get your contact information."
The next day, at noon.
After get off work, Li Dongyang went downstairs with Qu Hengsheng to eat stir-fry.
Just as he was having dinner with Qu Hengsheng, a middle-aged man wearing a jacket suddenly appeared in the stir-fry restaurant.
The man, wearing glasses, found a seat at the next table.
I also ordered a stir-fry and started eating.
Last night after get off work, this Manager Liu booked the earliest flight from Chongqing to Wancheng this morning.
He did a lot of research last night.
Learn about Li Dongyang's preferences and the salary offered to him by Chaofan, etc.
He even specifically asked Wang Jiansheng for Li Dongyang's photo.
Otherwise, even if someone appears right in front of him, he wouldn't know it.
Chaofan's fixed salary of 4,000 for Li Dongyang is relatively low in this industry.
I heard he received 500,000 in commissions.
If Li Dongyang's previous data were on Douyin, he could get at least 800,000 yuan in commission.
Money is the bargaining chip.
In this era, superpowers can solve everything.
This so-called Manager Liu is quite confident in himself.
We'll definitely be able to take down Li Dongyang today.
However, it seems there's no chance now; he waited outside the company for half a day but still couldn't wait for Li Dongyang to come down alone.
After all, they've gone so far as to steal someone's job right up to the company's doorstep. If the company finds out, they'll be ridiculed by everyone in the industry.
If this gets out, will my reputation be ruined?
The boss served two dishes, but he had no appetite for them.
He kept glancing towards Li Dongyang and Qu Hengsheng.
After finishing their meal, Li Dongyang and Qu Hengsheng paid the bill and left without even getting a chance to leave.
He could only sit in the restaurant, anxiously waiting.
Having no other choice, he could only wait outside the Extraordinary Company.
He might not find time during the day, but he still needs to go home after get off work in the evening!
This wait lasted for an entire afternoon.
He watched as all the company employees left work, but he still didn't see Li Dongyang come out.
At this moment, Li Songbai and Zhang Wenbing came out from inside carrying a leather bag. Li Songbai immediately spotted the middle-aged man standing outside.
He nudged Zhang Wenbing beside him with his elbow and asked in confusion, "Hey! Isn't that the production manager from Douyin?"
Zhang Wenbing followed Li Songbai's gaze.
Yes!
DouDou and ChaoFan have no cooperative relationship, so what is he doing here?
"Could it be that they've come to inquire about what web series our company plans to produce next?"
Zhang Wenbing pondered for a moment, "I don't think so. If they really wanted to find out, they could just send anyone over, and that way they wouldn't be exposed."
Sudden.
Li Songbai had a flash of inspiration.
"I think there's a high chance it's because they're looking for someone?"
Zhang Wenbing: "Looking for someone?"
"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone finding a competitor here."
"Let's find a spot to hide and watch for a while, see who he's looking for?"
Then two middle-aged men, carrying bags, hid in the security booth to investigate.
"Old Li, you have to admit, this DouDou is really despicable! They only lost one game, and they're already trying to poach our players?"
"That's just too unfair."
"Tell me, if it were you, which of our company's employees would you poach?"
Zhang Wenbing poked his head out and pondered for a long time.
"If it were me, it would be Qu Hengsheng and Li Dongyang."
After all, these two are currently the most valuable people in the Extraordinary.
Li Songbai nodded in agreement. "I think there's a high chance they're all here to poach your protégé."
"Because their past, which was full of interesting anecdotes, didn't have much significance."
"After all, a director follows the script. Without a good script, he's just a commander without troops."
"So I think the possibility of poaching Li Dongyang is very high."
"That's so despicable. They can't beat us, so they try to poach our players. Don't they have any shame?"
"They claim to be number one in the industry, but they got there entirely through such despicable means."
"That's so despicable."
"Fortunately, we found it."
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Just kick them out?"
“Give Dongyang a call,” Li Songbai said.
"What should I say when I call him? Should I tell him to tremble and ask him if he's willing to go?"
"To be honest, as a teacher, DouDou is more capable than our ChaoFan. If DongYang could go there to develop, he might have a better future."
"As an individual, I certainly hope that my students have better opportunities for development."
Upon hearing this, Li Songbai choked.
"I've never seen anyone as selfish as you."
“You’ve known me for so many years, and I’ve been selfish for quite some time now.”
As people with experience, they naturally know that the screenwriter is the biggest contributor to an excellent film or television drama.
Even the most talented director lacks core competence without a brilliant screenwriter.
"I personally think this is a good opportunity."
Zhang Wenbing immediately understood what Li Songbai meant.
Because a good screenwriter is very important to a company.
Companies would generally be unwilling to let go of such outstanding talent.
Therefore, "this is a good opportunity for Dongyang."
"People only become popular when they're in high demand, don't you think?"
"We're both that kid's seniors, so of course we should maximize our interests, right?"
This is a good opportunity to help Li Dongyang raise his profile.
The two exchanged a glance, and Zhang Wenbing was the first to smile.
"As expected of Old Li, only someone with your brain could come up with something like this during this period."
"Try to let President Qin know about this. She values Li Dongyang so much right now, she'll definitely try to keep him here."
"Yes, you're right. I'll take a picture and send it to President Qin to tell her about this and see how she handles it."
