Chapter 631 What is a piece of cake
"Mr. Cheng, as your trader, there are some things I must be responsible for. So there are some things I still need to tell you." Peter Li hesitated for a long time, and finally said to Cheng Xuyuan with great entanglement.
Not making your employer angry is one of the daily rules for traders.
In the face of the employer's insistence, as long as the trader has given a reminder, he has fulfilled his responsibility.
But now, Peter Li decided to talk to Cheng Xuyuan about the stock issue.
This boss is really too casual.
He was also not optimistic about the stocks he chose.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled at the serious Li Peter and said, "Mr. Peter, I know what you are going to say."
"But when it comes to stocks, I trust my own judgment."
"You just need to implement my arrangements."
"As for the rest, don't worry about it."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who looked confident, Peter Li didn't know what to say.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Dear Mr. Cheng Xuyuan, as a stock trader, I will follow your arrangements."
"But I hope you can keep your sanity."
“When there are problems with stocks, you can listen to our most professional opinions.”
Cheng Xuyuan patted Peter Li on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Peter Li, although I am not prepared to follow your advice, I think you are the most conscientious trader I have ever met."
“I hope that through our cooperation, we can bring you some changes.”
Peter Li looked at Cheng Xuyuan, who looked serious, and sighed softly.
He had already given up on this client, but out of courtesy he still shook hands with Cheng Xuyuan.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
By converting the money in the bank into the stocks he wanted, Cheng Xuyuan's purpose of coming to Hong Kong this time has basically been achieved.
As for buying a house, now is not the time.
After a while, housing prices will fall sharply, and that will be a good time to buy.
After having a meal with Peter Li, Cheng Xuyuan returned to his residence.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan had just washed his face, there was a knock on the door.
Cheng Xuyuan opened the door and saw a man wearing black-rimmed glasses who quickly asked, "Mr. Cheng, is this the place where you secretly meet the beautiful Zhao..."
When he heard this question, Cheng Xuyuan immediately understood who this person was.
Cheng Xuyuan knew very well that there was no way to explain clearly to these people.
Because what people need is news. If you can't give them news, then even if you talk your mouth off, they won't pay any attention to you.
On the contrary, if you tell the news and don't say anything, they will cover it up for you in whatever way they can.
After closing the door, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly wanted to leave.
Being here in Hong Kong, I feel like a big tree attracts the wind.
It would be better to go back to your hometown and stay there for a few days.
Anyway, the work has been done, and I can ask Peter Li to help me with the stock transactions over the phone.
As for the autograph session, just talk to Mr. Cha and just hold two sessions.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about how to get home, he heard a knock on the door.
When he heard the knock on the door, Cheng Xuyuan's instinctive thought was that it was the paparazzi again. This time, he absolutely could not open the door.
However, the knock on the door was very light this time. After seeing that Cheng Xuyuan did not respond, someone said, "Hello, Mr. Cheng, I am a waiter at the hotel. Are you in the room?"
After hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan opened the door.
Standing outside the door was the same young waiter from yesterday.
When he saw Cheng Xuyuan, a hint of envy appeared on his face.
Obviously, he was full of envy for Mr. Cheng, who was much younger than him but much better than him in ability and status.
"Mr. Cheng, our supervisor will come over to apologize to you later."
"Please forgive us for disturbing you due to our carelessness."
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this matter is not entirely your fault."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan continued, "Tell your supervisor that he doesn't need to come over to apologize. I know what you mean."
The young waiter hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Mr. Cheng, when I came here, Miss Zhao asked me to bring you a message, saying that she very much hopes to talk to you."
"Even if it's only ten minutes."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the young waiter, and then said lightly: "I really don't know what to talk about."
"So please decline for me."
"Nothing, I need to take a rest."
Although the young waiter felt a little uncomfortable, he was more helpless.
Because he had no influence on Cheng Xuyuan's decision.
His feeling towards Cheng Xuyuan was that this person was really a bit unromantic.
After the waiter left, Cheng Xuyuan picked up the book and started reading.
Although he has many books in his memory, Cheng Xuyuan still likes to read when he has nothing to do.
“Ding ding ding…”
Just over half an hour later, the phone rang.
Cheng Xuyuan answered the phone, and Li Hanxiang's voice came from it: "Xuyuan, what are you busy with?"
"Nothing, just reading a book." Cheng Xuyuan said casually.
"Reading is good. Hey, I used to like reading when I had nothing to do, but now, I really can't bear to read anymore."
Hearing Li Hanxiang's sigh, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said nothing.
For an old man like this who likes to talk about the past, the best way is actually to say nothing.
On the contrary, if you start a discussion with him, he can talk to you for half an hour.
"Xuyuan, let's have dinner together tonight. Mr. Cha treated you last time, so this time it's mine."
Li Hanxiang said with a smile: "I'll invite a few girls to show you the nightlife in Hong Kong."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan's heart was inexplicably moved.
But thinking that he would be going back soon, he smiled and said, "Director Li, thank you for your kindness. Let's just have dinner, nothing else."
"Okay, let's just eat then."
At this point, Li Hanxiang continued, "Xuyuan, there is something I would like to ask you for help."
Cheng Xuyuan said casually: "There's no need to be so polite between us."
"Director Li, if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."
Li Hanxiang said: "Xuyuan, an old friend who helped me just called me, and I really can't refuse."
"He said that the beautiful Zhao Songlan wants to meet you, so he asked me to help introduce her to you."
"I asked you to meet just for a meeting. As for what she said, you can do whatever you want. You don't have to give me face."
After hearing what Li Hanxiang said, Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Director Li, you are really giving me a difficult problem."
"But since I promised you, let's meet."
"Well, there's a cafe on the second floor of the hotel. I'll book a room later and we'll meet in the tea room in half an hour."
When Li Hanxiang heard Cheng Xuyuan's agreement, he immediately said happily: "Xuyuan, thank you very much!"
"If you have any questions in the future, just ask."
After hanging up the phone with Li Hanxiang, Cheng Xuyuan shook his head.
If the words hadn't been said, he really didn't want to see it.
But then again, these past few days those tabloids have been hyping up the news about him and that beautiful lady Zhao, and this person has been coming to explain himself.
It’s not impossible to meet and ask what’s going on.
Half an hour later, Cheng Xuyuan arrived at the small private room in the coffee shop he had booked.
Before entering the door, I saw a woman who looked to be in her thirties and slightly plump, smiling and saying, "Hello, Mr. Cheng, I am Song Lan's friend."
"Song Lan has been waiting for you here for more than ten minutes. Please come in."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and pushed the door open and walked in.
In the elegantly decorated private room, soft music was playing, and Zhao Songlan was pouring hot water into the coffee pot, apparently making coffee.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan coming in, she smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, although my coffee grinding skills are not as good as those of the professional staff in the coffee shop, I think only in this way can you feel my sincerity."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan felt a surge of emotion.
Regardless of whether they are sincere or not, at least they did a very good job in saving face.
The reason why others do this to give you face is naturally because they value you.
He smiled and said, "Thank you for the coffee, Miss Zhao. I wonder why Miss Zhao asked me to come here?"
Zhao Songlan poured a cup of coffee for Cheng Xuyuan and said with a smile: "If I say that I like Mr. Cheng's book very much and want to discuss the content of the book with Mr. Cheng, would you believe it?"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Zhao Songlan, who was smiling like a flower, and then said, "As long as Miss Zhao says so, then I will believe it."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words, Zhao Songlan laughed and said, "No wonder people say that you are so smart, Mr. Cheng. I won't play such tricks in front of you."
"But I really like your stories about the Ming Dynasty."
"When I have nothing to do on weekdays, I like to take it out and read it."
At this point, she continued, "And Mr. Cheng's cultural journey, I like and admire it even more."
"When I feel irritable, I read this article and feel relaxed and happy, and my worries are reduced a lot."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't completely disbelieve what was said later.
However, he did not comment on this. He just smiled and waited for Zhao Songlan to speak.
The other party found many reasons to come to me, and it was definitely not for the purpose of saying compliments to me, so there was no need to make some things clear.
Seeing that Cheng Xuyuan remained silent, Zhao Songlan did not dwell on this issue.
The words she just said were to make Cheng Xuyuan feel her sincerity.
Whether Cheng Xuyuan believed it or not, she had already said these words.
Next, it’s time to talk about the important things.
"Mr. Cheng, I heard that you and Mr. Si Diwen are friends?"
When hearing Zhao Songlan asking about Sidiwen, Cheng Xuyuan immediately understood that Zhao Songlan's visit to him must be related to Sidiwen.
He smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, Mr. Si Diwen and I have some friendship."
"Mr. Cheng, I know that Mr. Si Diwen is planning to shoot a movie that has an oriental character in it."
"I think my qualifications are very suitable for this role, but I don't have any friendship with Mr. Si Diwen."
"It's hard to recommend myself, so I hope Mr. Cheng can recommend me."
Cheng Xuyuan knew that Si Diwen was planning to shoot Forrest Gump, and based on his understanding of the movie, there seemed to be no role suitable for Zhao Songlan.
Could it be that Si Diwen is still planning to shoot other movies?
It seemed quite normal, so he immediately asked, "What movie is it?"
"The name of the movie has not been finalized yet, but I heard that it is temporarily called Desert Treasure Hunt." Zhao Songlan said solemnly.
She was very much looking forward to getting this role.
Because getting this role means she can enter Hollywood.
And as long as she makes some movies in Hollywood, her status will be greatly improved.
This is also the reason why she tried her best to get to know Cheng Xuyuan and get this role.
Cheng Xuyuan took a sip of coffee and said, "Ms. Zhao, please recommend an actor to Mr. Si Diwen. I don't know if I can do it."
"But why should I waste my favors on doing this?"
Zhao Songlan slowly came to Cheng Xuyuan's side and said, "Mr. Cheng, I won't let you help me for nothing. If you have any requests, you can raise them."
Listening to this soft voice, Cheng Xuyuan's mind was filled with thoughts.
But in an instant, he said calmly: "I don't have any requests for the time being."
"Why not just consider it as Miss Zhao owing me a favor first."
"If I need any help in the future, Miss Zhao will return the favor."
Zhao Songlan didn't expect that Cheng Xuyuan's conditions would be like this.
This favor was neither too important nor too light for her.
Future favors will be a matter for the future.
But she still said: "Mr. Cheng, as long as you asked this question for me, I owe you this favor."
Cheng Xuyuan looked around and saw a phone.
"Can this movie be popular in the United States?" Cheng Xuyuan asked Zhao Songlan.
"Mr. Cheng, I think it's best if you don't call now. After all, it's late at night and Mr. Si Diwen might have gone to bed."
Zhao Songlan hesitated for a moment and tried to dissuade Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at his watch and said casually, "Si Diwen often works at night, so he should not be asleep now."
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan picked up the phone and dialed.
Just one minute later, an unhappy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Who?"
Hearing the English voice of Sidiwen, Cheng Xuyuan said: "Sidiwen, I am Cheng Xuyuan, I am sorry to bother you..."
After listening to Cheng Xuyuan's self-introduction, Si Diwen's anger disappeared completely. He smiled and said, "Dear Cheng, I was just talking about contacting you. Let me tell you, our movie..."
Zhao Songlan listened to Cheng Xuyuan for only two minutes before ending the call with Sidiwen. Although she talked about her own affairs, the length of the call made her heart sink.
It seems to have failed.
Cheng Xuyuan shouldn't have called at this time.
Just when she was feeling sad about losing this opportunity, she heard Cheng Xuyuan say, "Ms. Zhao, you should go to New York as soon as possible. Si Diwen and I have already made an appointment."
"He's giving you an audition."
