After Dong Wenfeng left, Dong Xinhui took out a sedative pill that he hadn't taken for many years and hurriedly put it in his mouth.
Ye Zhizhou brought Dong Xinhui a glass of water at the right moment, and after drinking it, Dong Xinhui's mood finally calmed down.
"Xiao Zhou, don't worry. No matter what he says, your uncle is on your side."
He used to regret not helping his sister sooner, but now he has a chance to make up for it.
Ye Zhizhou pursed his lips, "Uncle, I'll only be in Haishi for a month at most. You don't need to make such a big sacrifice for me."
This wasn't her territory to begin with, and she figured she wouldn't have any further dealings with Dong Wenfeng anyway.
But Dong Xinhui is Dong Wenfeng's cousin, and it wouldn't be good if any conflict between them got out.
"It's not a sacrifice. I never thought much of him anyway. Alright, your uncle will take you to meet someone today."
He couldn't meet with his old friend yesterday, so he made a special appointment with him again today.
Western restaurant.
Dong Xinhui and Ye Zhizhou waited for almost half an hour before his old friend finally arrived.
"Old Dong, is this the promising talent you were talking about?"
The visitor was a middle-aged woman, dressed very fashionably, and her skin and figure were well-maintained; she didn't look over forty at all.
Dong Xinhui introduced Ye Zhizhou, "Xiaozhou, this is Lucy, a director of Xingying Media."
Ye Zhizhou smiled politely at Lucy and said, "Hello Lucy, my name is Ye Zhizhou."
Lucy put her bag down, somewhat surprised by Ye Zhizhou's composure.
"Xiao Zhou, right? You're very confident, at least more confident than many actors I've ever met."
Ye Zhizhou had some knowledge of Xingying Media. If she remembered correctly, her brother seemed to be an artist under Xingying Media, but his path was obviously different from that of others in Xingying Media.
He's a true actor, focusing on solid acting skills and never relying on scandals to get on trending topics.
"I saw you trending on social media, that's impressive. If you want to enter the industry in the future, you can become an artist under my company."
Lucy speaks frankly and doesn't say anything unnecessary.
Dong Xinhui was slightly surprised. "Lucy, when I recommended actors to you before, you always had to do internships first. Why is it different with Xiaozhou?"
Although he was well aware that Ye Zhizhou's strength was extraordinary, he also knew that anyone who wanted to break into any circle had to go through a series of tests first.
"No need, Lao Dong, you're too outdated. You know, as long as there's buzz and her acting is passable, I can still promote her."
Lucy looked at Dong Xinhui as if he were an antique.
Ye Zhizhou frowned slightly; this Lucy seemed to be quite different from what she had imagined.
Dong Xinhui looked slightly ashamed and said, "I don't really understand the aesthetics of young people these days. I'm definitely not as good as you."
Lucy said smugly, "Of course, our company has recently produced several new heartthrobs who are incredibly popular. Old Dong, don't just focus on making movies; spend some time learning about variety shows and such."
Ye Zhizhou felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. Although Lucy's words made some sense, why should she make his uncle change his mind?
"Many popular celebrities nowadays have a large following, but their acting skills are poor, and audiences won't accept what they produce. For artists, reputation is still the most important thing."
Lucy's expression froze for a moment, then she said sarcastically, "Old Dong, I only came because of you. How can your niece talk like that?"
She thought Dong Xinhui would blame Ye Zhizhou.
Unexpectedly, Dong Xinhui remained silent for a while before saying, "I think Xiaozhou is right, Lucy. We may have some differences in our creative work, but it won't affect our friendship."
Lucy paused for a moment, then picked up her bag and left. "Looks like I shouldn't have come today!"
