Everyone enjoyed the meal, and Fang Yang took the opportunity to get closer to the old principal and professors from various departments. After promising to give each of them a calligraphy piece the day after tomorrow, Fang Yang and Zhao Liang saw off the elders who were slightly tipsy. They smiled at each other, and after the designated driver got into the car, Zhao Liang called Fang Yang to get in, "Hurry up, I'm exhausted, go back and get some sleep."
The designated driver took Fang Yang and Zhao Liang to a hotel near the Central Conservatory of Music. Zhao Liang paid the fare by scanning a QR code and then put his arm around Fang Yang as they walked toward the hotel. "Hey Yangzi," he said, "I didn't expect you to be able to teach those junior students now. See if you can find any particularly pretty girls to introduce to us the day after tomorrow?"
Fang Yang rolled his eyes at Zhao Liang, "Go ahead and try to get the old principal's marbles. Maybe he'll take a liking to you and keep you at the school for a few more years to be groomed as his successor!"
Zhao Liang shrank his neck. "No way! I finally managed to convince my family to let me escape this misery. Going back would be the death of me. Sigh, how will those junior girls survive without me?"
Fang Yang showed his ID card to the receptionist, "Do you have a deluxe double room? Please give me one!"
The receptionist took the ID card and said, "Yes, please wait a moment, we'll process it for you right away."
"Let's process it for three days first. We'll let you know if we need to extend it."
"Okay, a deposit of 5000 is required. Will you be paying by card or scanning a QR code?"
"Scan the code." Fang Yang pulled up his payment code, scanned it at the front desk, and the receptionist quickly processed his check-in. After watching Fang Yang and his colleague enter the elevator, the receptionist couldn't help but exclaim to her colleague, "Hey Ping'er, did you see that handsome guy just now? He's really handsome!"
"You silly Qing'er, you can't resist handsome guys! Why don't you follow him? He'll definitely welcome you!"
"You damn Ping'er, I'll tear your mouth apart! Do I look like such a shameless person? I just think this guy is even more handsome than a celebrity. Handsome guys are meant to be admired, don't you understand?"
"Alright, alright, stop talking, someone's coming in!"
Fang Yang and Zhao Liang arrived at room 1808, opened the door with their room cards, and Zhao Liang glanced around and said with a smile, "It looks alright, it's a pity there's no presidential suite, otherwise I would definitely book one."
Fang Yang looked at Zhao Liang and said, "You're just being pretentious. You should at least look where you are. What hotel near a school has a presidential suite? It's already quite good that it's this clean and tidy."
Zhao Liang collapsed onto the large bed, saying, "Aren't you afraid they'll give you a hard time when you visit your future father-in-law tomorrow?"
"What are you talking about? It's just a normal visit between two companies, don't spread rumors."
Zhao Liang chuckled mischievously and said, "Let me give you a quick interview. How do you feel about meeting your future father-in-law for the first time?"
Fang Yang was speechless: "That's enough! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out and make you sleep on the streets tonight!"
"What are you afraid of? Don't you know Kyoto is my territory? Besides, if I really have nowhere to sleep, I can just go home to sleep."
"You're so awesome, you're right!" Fang Yang gave a thumbs up. "Come with me to Jinghua Film and Television tomorrow. You'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with Jinghua Film and Television when you take over the cinema chain. We need to start paving the way now."
"As long as you honestly admit you're scared, I'll go with you. I'm very familiar with Mr. Zhou Haijun, the general manager of Jinghua Film and Television. I can at least guarantee that you won't face any open anger from your future father-in-law if I go with you!"
"roll!"
Fang Yang composed himself, stopped arguing with Zhao Liang, took a hot shower to wash away the smell of alcohol, made a cup of hot tea, and sat by the window to admire the night view of the Imperial City.
Zhao Liang also took a hot bath, made himself a cup of hot tea, and sat down opposite Fang Yang. "How is it? The night view of Beijing is pretty good, isn't it?"
"The ancient capital of five dynasties naturally has its own historical heritage. As the current capital, it is certainly prosperous, but in terms of economic development, it still lags far behind Shanghai!"
Zhao Liang nodded, no longer dwelling on the matter. "Have you thought about what you want to discuss at Jinghua Film and Television tomorrow?"
"At present, the most important thing is to discuss film cooperation with Jinghua Film and Television. Yuewen Entertainment's foundation is too weak. At present, it can only slowly accumulate in the field of TV series. However, once the acquisition of Dadi Cinemas is successful, a successful film is needed to open up the market and accumulate funds to improve the cinema chain. All of these require deepening cooperation with Jinghua Film and Television."
"Who is in charge of the cooperation with them?"
“Naturally, we will take the lead, there’s no doubt about that. Jinghua Film and Television will at most handle the approval, distribution, and online promotion as producers. We lack experience in these areas, so we will assign an assistant to go along and learn from their experience.”
Zhao Liang covered his mouth, "You've come to your father-in-law's house to fleece him, be careful he won't let you play along!"
Fang Yang rolled his eyes at Zhao Liang. "You're stuck on this trope, aren't you? How about we give you the position of deputy?"
Zhao Liang jumped up as if his pants were on fire, "No, no, no, please don't! I'm not cut out to be a producer. Besides, didn't you promise me you'd manage the cinemas? I'll put you in charge of the cinemas, and I promise you won't have to worry about it!"
Fang Yang glanced at Zhao Liang and said, "You're really useless. Look how scared you are. Producers mainly do business in Beijing. You have connections in that area. Being a producer is practically made for you."
Zhao Liang shook his head vigorously, "No, absolutely not. There's no way I'd go begging those bastards. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to me?"
"Fine, fine, I won't go then. In my opinion, you're just a lazy bum who won't leave unless I pull the plug!"
Zhao Liang downed his tea in one gulp. "I'm not going to say anything more. I drank too much tonight. Those old guys are all heavy drinkers, each one of them can hold their liquor. I'm going to sleep now. You can stay here and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Beijing!"
Nothing happened that night. The next day, after Fang Yang and Zhao Liang had breakfast, Zhao Liang drove to Jinghua Film and Television: an old office building located in the city center on the Second Ring Road.
Fang Yang drove smoothly into the underground parking lot. After getting out of the car, he was surprised to find that the parking lot of the old office building was surprisingly novel. The entire underground parking lot was filled with hundreds of luxury cars of all colors.
There is an elevator in the underground parking lot that goes directly to the chairman's office on the top floor. Unfortunately, Fang Yang and Zhao Liang did not have cards and could not enter the elevator. They could only obediently walk up the stairs to the lobby on the first floor and find the receptionist.
The entire first-floor lobby was decorated in a magnificent style. The reception desk was located not far from the entrance, next to a very large and luxuriously decorated customer lounge. Fang Yang glanced around and saw that the rest of the floor consisted of security rooms, security activity rooms, and cleaning rooms. It seemed that the entire first floor was the activity area for the staff.
Security guards frequently enter and exit the security activity room, and there seem to be quite a few of them. There are two security guards at the elevator entrance, who often press the elevator button for people going up and down. They seem very friendly, but in reality, they are blocking any potential threats.
Fang Yang nodded. As expected, it was a big, established company. It was outwardly welcoming but inwardly heavily guarded, so secure that not even a mouse could get in.
