Chapter 45: Jinjiang Dufa You do what you want...
Jiang Chen didn't mention Lu Chiyuan when he invited him on the phone. Ling Qi thought he was the only one there. When he entered the box and saw Lu Chiyuan sitting with him, he paused slightly.
Zou Xin was talking to Zhuang Ningyu behind him. He was carefree and joking with Zhuang Ningyu before entering the room, trying to make her happy. But after entering the room, he found Lu Chiyuan was there too, and he immediately became honest.
When Zhuang Ningyu met Lu Chiyuan in person for the first time, the public relations consciousness in her mind turned around and focused on Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan. She suddenly felt that she had been a little too worried.
Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan's seats were next to each other, so there was no problem with the distance. However, after they appeared, Lu Chiyuan's eyes changed.
Ling Qi acted as a middleman and introduced the two parties.
Zhuang Ningyu had neat short hair and wore a professional suit, looking very elegant. He did not fawn on Lu Chiyuan, a high-ranking official.
Zou Xin has not been working recently, so he dresses casually, with his hair highlighted in burgundy. As a singer, his appearance is not as outstanding and distinctive as Ling Qi's, but it is not bad either. He has regular features and a tall figure, and he still stands out in the crowd.
Jiang Chen exchanged a few pleasantries with Ling Qi and asked him some questions about the filming in City A. It sounded like a casual chat and there was nothing uncomfortable about it.
"Do you have any other work arrangements after you finish filming this commercial?" Jiang Chen asked.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table became a little cold, and Ling Qi shook his head.
According to the previous plan, he should discuss the script with Zhuang Ningyu now, but Jiang Chen asked him to wait a moment because he had no other plans at the moment.
Jiang Chen looked at the three silent people and asked, "Do you often have such a long window of time? But when I listened to the report today, I found that your company has a lot of business."
Xingyuan Entertainment has a direct job, whether it is advertising, film and television or variety shows, the department reports in great detail.
When it comes to work, the atmosphere is not as relaxed as it was at the beginning.
Ling Qi has only been here for a short time. Compared to his previous company, at least he has work now and he accepts the period of leisure well.
Zhuang Ningyu and Zou Xin hesitated for a moment and just laughed it off because Lu Chiyuan was here and it was impossible for them to complain about the company system in front of the boss.
Facing their evasion, Jiang Chen did not ask further questions and changed the subject, "I came to you today to talk to you about your acceptance of a drama. We have to wait and see about that unit drama. Are you interested in taking on a fairy tale first?"
Jiang Chen briefly talked about the situation of the script. Since it was a niche track, he wanted to hear Ling Qi's opinion.
Ling Qi was still thinking, and Zhuang Ningyu frowned and said, "Assistant Jiang, do you want to give this play to Ling Qi? But the director will not agree. He has decided to give this play to Duan Yi."
Zhuang Ningyu knew that the drama Jiang Chen was talking about, although it was a niche subject, the script had a clear logic chain, a strong story, and the main characters were not cold and aloof, but each had its own characteristics.
She had already taken a fancy to this script before Ling Qi came to her. After Ling Qi came, she mentioned it to the director, but the director...
Zhuang Ningyu got angry whenever he thought about it, and suppressed his resentment with a smile.
Jiang Chen was a little surprised: "Duan Yi is an artist of your company?"
[No way, this guy later ran away with the investors' money. He is actually an artist of Xingyuan Entertainment. ]
Jiang Chen's mouth twitched slightly. He thought the management was explosive enough, so why did the artists also lay mines?
[Is this a company, or a training ground for the Five Poisons? ]
Jiang Chen looked at Lu Chiyuan with a resentful look. He understood why Xu Chen said that Lu Chiyuan was a god of wealth. Probably, apart from the god of wealth, no one would take over such a mess unconditionally.
[Brother Lu, you have this money, why don't you do something else? ]
[No, I want to make this money back. There is no reason to let Brother Lu always lose money! ]
Jiang Chen comforted himself and cheered himself up secretly. While Zhuang Ningyu was talking, he used this topic to chat with her a little more, hinting at things about the company.
Perhaps because it involved Ling Qi, or perhaps because the conversation had already started, Zhuang Ningyu still revealed the company's internal problems to Jiang Chen.
Lu Chiyuan did not participate in the conversation. He sat aside as a bystander, his attention always on Jiang Chen.
Whether in the conference room or right now, Jiang Chen was very serious about this matter. He listened attentively, frowned and thought, his fair skin glowing under the light of the room.
Lu Chiyuan thought about himself when he bought the shares. He was full of energy and ambition at that time and did not take the problem of poor management to heart. He thought that with Xu Chen and Lu Mingxuan, he would be able to turn the situation around.
But reality often comes before plans. The world expands overseas, and his parents leave one after another, and the burden of the world falls on him. The ambition to make a living is confined to the building, and the dreams that he joked with Xu Chen and others under the influence of alcohol also become silent.
The world is a business empire that is bigger than his dreams, and it is not easy to manage it well. He has put his mind back into the company, and the situation of the company has remained unchanged year after year.
Now that this mess fell into Jiang Chen's hands, even if Jiang Chen felt it was troublesome and didn't want to continue and gave up halfway, Lu Chiyuan wouldn't say anything.
But Jiang Chen didn't. Instead, he thought that he couldn't let Lu Chiyuan lose money again.
Lu Chiyuan didn't show it on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.
After listening to Zhuang Ningyu's complaints, Jiang Chen said with a half-smile, "Your director is really interesting."
They intercept artists' work, engage in power-for-sex transactions with their agents, and pimp for artists.
Jiang Chen counted the gossip he knew so far and had a clear plan in mind, but he was not in a hurry.
After dinner, Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan had to go back, so they left first.
Zhuang Ningyu slumped in the chair for a long time, as if remembering something, and tilted his head to look at Ling Qi, saying: "I forgot to ask you last time in City A, did you really only invite Assistant Jiang to dinner?"
Ling Qi said: "Yes, but Mr. Lu was also there. I didn't know until I went there."
Zhuang Ningyu: "...next time, remember to tell me this kind of news."
Zou Xin continued, "They are really inseparable! But Ling Qi, are you so close to Assistant Jiang?"
Ling Qi shook his head and corrected, "Assistant Jiang is a good person."
In Ling Qi's view, Jiang Chen is his benefactor and he is willing to help him.
Zhuang Ningyu listened to the two people's conversation and shifted her gaze to the ceiling above her head. Compared with the relationship between Assistant Jiang and Ling Qi, she noticed the difference between Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan.
From the moment he came in until now, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lu Chiyuan's eyes followed Jiang Chen. He admired and indulged, seemingly not participating in the topic and not interested in what they were talking about, but in fact he boldly gave all the decision-making power to Jiang Chen.
Zhuang Ningyu's sixth sense told her that their company was going to undergo a major change.
When they came out of the restaurant, it was already time to get off work. There was no need to go back to the company at this time, so Lu Chiyuan asked Uncle Qin to take Jiang Chen home first.
After getting in the car, Jiang Chen sent a few messages to Xu Chen, briefly complaining about today's battle.
Lu Chiyuan waited until he finished sending the message before asking, "Any ideas?"
Jiang Chen looked up, his amber eyes shining in the sunlight, like transparent gemstones, very beautiful. He stared at Lu Chiyuan with a faint smile on his face: "Can I apply for a position?"
Lu Chiyuan nodded and said, "Of course, what about Tang Song's position?"
Jiang Chen refused: "No, I want the position of director. Didn't Tang Song say that he can't be moved? Then let him stay for two more days."
Tang Song was sent by the head office. Even if Lu Chiyuan was a major shareholder, it would be a bit troublesome to fire him directly. Jiang Chen didn't want to make things difficult for Lu Chiyuan. His plan was to make changes within Lu Chiyuan's capabilities, rather than tying up too much of Lu Chiyuan's energy.
Lu Chiyuan saw through Jiang Chen's thoughts and said, "Don't worry about Tang Song, just do what you want."
Lu Chiyuan supported Jiang Chen in doing this and had already cleared the obstacles for him. He had contacted the shareholders and the board of directors. The initiative was in his hands, not Tang Song's.
"Director is what I want to be." Jiang Chen said seriously.
Lu Chiyuan lowered his eyes, his expression paused for a moment, and after a while he said, "Okay, I understand."
Jiang Chen doesn't want to take the position of general manager, and Lu Chiyuan is determined to get rid of Tang Song, so the position of general manager will definitely be replaced.
Changing someone else would only become a hindrance to Jiang Chen.
Lu Chiyuan thought carefully and soon found a candidate. Xu Chen was idle at the headquarters, so he might as well follow Jiang Chen to make the move.
To satisfy his regret of not being there today.
Uncle Qin parked the car at the gate of the community as usual. Lu Chiyuan watched Jiang Chen walk away before letting Uncle Qin drive away.
As soon as Jiang Chen got home, he went to the bathroom to wash up, washed away his fatigue, changed into home clothes, lay on the sofa and played with his mobile phone.
Snowball jumped onto his stomach, squatted upright, and looked at the phone with him.
Jiang Chen passed his hand through its head and asked, "Qiuqiu, do you have evidence that Tang Song embezzled public funds?"
Snowball tapped his tail: [Yes, but what you get from me is not from a formal channel. Do you still want it, Chenchen? ]
Informal channels are questionable and in some cases may even have the opposite effect.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "My evidence is not a formal channel. If I send it to others and ask them to provide evidence, it should be a formal channel, right?"
Snowball turned to look at Jiang Chen, frowning in confusion. He had heard of money laundering, but this was the first time he had heard of evidence laundering.
[You can give it a try. Who do you want to send it to? ]
"Send it to his competitor within the company!"
Tang Song obviously has someone to rely on today. How could a person like him not have some connections within the company? Since he has connections, he will naturally have competitors. Competitors do not belong to the same camp as him and will not miss any opportunity that can be fatal.
So what if the evidence is from an unknown source? Your competitors will verify it.
Snowball retrieved the system information and found Tang Song’s network of relationships. After some searching, it found a suitable candidate and packaged the existing evidence and sent it to him.
Jiang Chen didn't ask how to do it, and his thoughts shifted back to his phone.
The time spent playing with the phone always passes by especially quickly. When Jiang Chen came to his senses, it was already dusk outside the window. The afterglow of the setting sun fell between the tall buildings, and golden light and shadow cut through the world.
Half is in the sunlight, and half is in the shadow, without interfering with each other.
Jiang Chen's eyes felt a little sore and there was a slight double vision in front of his eyes. He stood up and wanted to turn on the light. While putting on his shoes, he glanced at the balcony out of the corner of his eye.
Under the cut light and shadow, he saw the space being extended, and the balcony that was originally very close suddenly became very far away.
Jiang Chen suddenly felt creepy. He looked again and found that the balcony was still in the same place. He was just dazzled.
Jiang Chen calmed himself down, rubbed his eyes, and didn't care.
He got up and went to the refrigerator to get some water. Snowball squatted on the sofa, licking his paws, looking towards the balcony with a heavy look.
How strange! It just saw fluctuations in space.
