Chapter 45：

After Pei Mingzhan posted on Weibo, he didn't pay attention to the rumors on the Internet. He and Zhao Yao simply ate something, and then the two discussed the live broadcast platform for a while.

"Yao Bai is probably still busy now, can you wear my pajamas?" Pei Mingzhan glanced at the time.

Zhao Yao used to spend the night in the company, and occasionally only returned to the apartment in the morning to freshen up.

Just after eleven o'clock, the two ended their discussion.

After Zhao Yao came out of the shower, he wore Pei Mingzhan's pajamas, and his underwear was not worn, except that it was a little bigger. Seeing that Pei Mingzhan was packing up the documents, he added, "I have written half of the plan document, or I will rest after finishing it."

It's still early at eleven o'clock, and it's still a long way from his sleep time. It's better to take advantage of this meeting to finish writing things.

But Pei Mingzhan turned off the laptop, "It's late enough at eleven o'clock, don't you feel tired after playing for so long during the day?"

Zhao Yao paused: "It's okay, I work late, I won't be able to adjust it in half an hour."

Although the quality of sleep has improved recently, it will not be sleepy until after twelve o'clock.

Pei Mingzhan led him to the guest bedroom, "It's better to rest early at night. It's more comfortable to lie down and close your eyes than to concentrate on reading documents."

After he finished speaking, he said, "I'll go get the quilt, you wait."

Zhao Yao stood at the door of the guest bedroom, watching Pei Mingzhan come out from the other master bedroom with the quilt in his arms.

Pei Mingzhan said while spreading the bed: "The weather turns cold, and some quilts have been sent to wash and have not been brought back, so you can use this bed first."

Zhao Yao: "Actually, you don't need to be so troublesome."

There is also a small blanket in the guest bedroom, which is also sufficient.

After working hard, Pei Mingzhan said, "Have you been sleeping better recently? Listen to Yao Bai and the others saying that you are still insomnia?"

Zhao Yao nodded: "Much better."

"Then go to sleep." Pei Mingzhan said, "Or do I have to talk with you?"

Zhao Yao paused, "It's not necessary."

After Pei Mingzhan left, Zhao Yao lay on the bed to rest. He thought he would recognize the bed or sleep for a long time, but he didn't expect to relax as soon as he touched the pillow, and soon became sleepy.

The pillows and sheets were all changed and washed, and only the quilt that was just delivered had the faint smell of Pei Mingzhan's body.

The temperature in the guest bedroom was just right, and the city lights could still be seen from the window. Zhao Yao half-closed his eyes and looked at the scene outside the window, then closed his eyes for a while, and climbed up all tired.

Before falling asleep, he thought in a trance—

Even though so many things happened today, he didn't continue to think at all, it's amazing.

Pei Mingzhan took a shower after cleaning up the documents in the living room. He was worried that Zhao Yao would not sleep well at night, so he deliberately went to warm a cup of hot milk.

When he finished his work and went to the guest bedroom to check the situation, he found that Zhao Yao was already asleep.

He stood outside the guest bedroom and watched for a while, then closed the door softly.

The phone that was randomly thrown on the sofa was now on the screen. He walked over to connect the phone and said, "Hello? Big brother."

He lowered his voice slightly: "I'm here, I just slept, everything on the Internet is fine, I'll let someone handle it."

The voice of Pei's eldest brother came from the phone: "Mom saw it on the Internet, and said that you will have time to take Xiao Yao to your house to see it. I haven't seen each other for many years."

Pei Mingzhan laughed: "I haven't seen each other for so many years, why is she still thinking about this. It will take a while to go back. Zhao Yao hasn't told me about his childhood now, and he probably doesn't remember it either."

The eldest brother of the Pei family said again: "You two had such a good relationship when you were young, you should mention it to him."

"When I was a child, it was a matter of my childhood. Besides, the relationship between me and him is not based on the past events in childhood." Pei Mingzhan said: "I feel that the affairs of the Zhao family still have a little influence on him, and it is not the same as when he was a child. already."

The eldest brother of the Pei family said: "There have been so many things in the Zhao family over the years, and the aunt died so early. This kind of family is not an ordinary family. Do you still expect him to follow you all day long like when you were a child?"

Pei Mingzhan leaned slightly on the sofa: "I don't want to, he's cute now too."

-*

When Zhao Yao woke up, Pei Mingzhan had already made breakfast.

He was a little surprised when he was washing, that he was able to fall asleep so quickly in an unfamiliar environment. This was the night he hadn't passed since his rebirth. Since he said something to Pei Mingzhan that night, he gradually stopped thinking about the events of his previous life. It is undeniable that his mental state was largely affected by previous events, and too much thinking seriously affected his sleep state.

A lot of things happened yesterday, but he didn't worry about it before he fell asleep, as if he knew that the miscellaneous words on the Internet were irrelevant, and the live broadcast platform was still under scrutiny... All things don't require him to think about it at this stage.

"I asked the driver to bring over a change of clothes." Zhao Yao said, "Do you have any arrangements for today?"

Pei Mingzhan: "Go to the company to deal with things. Gu Sui has traveled a long way. We will visit his studio next time."

Zhao Yao nodded: "Also."

After breakfast, Zhao Yao's driver came over. He took a shower and changed his clothes, and then separated from Pei Mingzhan. On the way back, I noticed the rumors about "Limeng" on the Internet, and Huihua's public relations suppressed the matter overnight, but some scattered rumors spread, mainly targeting Zhang Qi.

When Chen Xi signed Zhang Qi into Huihua, he had already had Zhang Qi's background checked. Most of the situation is similar to what Pei Mingzhan said to him. After Zhang Qi's wife died, he took his daughter to work alone outside, but was suppressed by others in the circle everywhere. And most of these people were instructed by Shiyang Films after Zhang Qi originally signed with the company Dingfeng Culture, in order to make Zhang Qi unable to get along in this circle.

Shiyang Pictures is now a well-known big company in the industry. His boss is surnamed Lin, and it is this boss Lin who is offended by Zhang Qi. In addition to his hand in the circle, this person also has connections in other circles, so most of the people in the circle will give him a thin face, and they will not think about offending him.

Chen Xi had this consideration originally. It is a trivial matter to have a conflict with Dingfeng Culture, but if he has a bad relationship with Shiyang Films, later film projects or webcasting projects will be affected more or less, because he is affiliated with Shiyang Films. The cinemas and platforms under the name are also well-known platforms in the circle.

In this circle, maybe the surname Lin didn't speak out, but there were only a lot of people who cleared obstacles for him one after another.

Zhao Yao flipped through the documents sent by Yao Bai. Since Chen Xi didn't speak to him about this matter, it meant that this matter was still within Chen Xi's expectations, so he didn't need to resolve this matter.

In the eyes of those people, Zhang Qi is a dispensable person, at most a little annoying, but there is no conflict of interest.

But in the future, the growth of Huihua will definitely affect some people's cakes, and the inability to achieve a win-win situation means that there will be conflicts. In the eyes of others, they may feel that it is a reckless move to offend Shiyang Films for Zhang Qi, but judging from Huihua's current development plan, it is only a matter of time before it competes with Shiyang Films.

Sooner or later, we have to fight, it is not about offending people for Zhang Qi, it is better to leave Zhang Qi a hole card.

Huihua Culture moved quickly, and with the help of Pei Mingzhan's studio, the black hot search that just appeared yesterday was quickly resolved. At the same time as the hot search, the auspicious day was also selected for the launch of "Limeng", and the official announcement of several characters was made along the headwind of the black hot search. act.

Chen Xi thought for a while after receiving the report: "They won't do much about "Li Meng", but the main focus will be on Zhang Qi. This is the point that the crew should pay attention to at present, and can be done when necessary. Use it for propaganda, but if it comes to the core issue, the best way is to clarify."

The secretary said: "The person in charge also said that the clarification plan will be done in advance, but Mr. Chen, it was found out that the person behind the Dingfeng culture took action yesterday. Should we deal with this matter?"

"There is a Dingfeng today, and tomorrow there will be other moths." Chen Xi had already prepared for this, "After all, Zhang Qi was once hidden in the snow, and his starring role will sooner or later attract other people's targets. These are all trivial things, as long as Shiyang Pictures doesn’t end, at other times you let the crew let go of their hands and feet to do it.”

The secretary nodded: "At the RH party next week, the invitation has already been sent. It's just..."

Chen Xi heard the words and said, "Just what?"

The secretary handed the invitation letter to Chen Xi, "We received two invitation letters, one for Huihua Culture, and the other for Mr. Zhao's name. The RH party specially invited Mr. Zhao."

Chen Xi was shocked: "Then the Great Demon King specially invited President Zhao??"

-*

Yao Bai was so busy that he was physically and mentally exhausted, and when he finally had time to rest, he suddenly found that his brother had been running towards Pei Mingzhan for the past few days. On this day, when he just took the invitation letter sent by Chen Xi to Zhao Yao's apartment, Zhao Yao was sitting on the sofa with the documents to read.

"Uncle Wang, my brother doesn't watch TV shows today?" Yao Bai looked at the folders on the table with a confused expression.

Uncle Wang came over at this time, "Young master just finished watching the update, the next episode will be two days away."

Yao Bai asked, "Those documents were sent by Chen Department?"

"It's not, it was sent by Mr. Pei." Uncle Wang said, "Young master and Mr. Pei have been discussing cooperation recently. In the afternoon, I will spare time to read the documents."

"Xiao Bai is here?" Zhao Yao tilted his head to look at him, "How's the project going?"

Yao Bai sat next to him. His brother somehow wasn't worried about the crisis encountered by the project, but instead asked him from time to time what he had learned in dealing with problems, as if the project "Limeng" was only used for him to practice. Yes, I don't care how much Huihua invested in it.

"Except for some troubles a few days ago, I've dealt with it very well recently." Yao Bai briefly explained to Zhao Yao about Zhang Qi's hacking, and then talked about how the project team dealt with the crisis, "This piece of Qi is quite difficult. Yes, I recently came into contact with those black materials, and only then did I know that he has had a hard time these years. His daughter's illness is not a serious one, but the investment is very expensive. He took his daughter and invested a lot of money in the past two years. Now that my daughter has someone to take care of, I am desperately trying out lines and finding feelings."

"Looking for feelings?" Zhao Yao was a little curious.

Yao Bai said: "The role of Su Liguang has too many faces. Although it requires a certain amount of experience, the things that the character has experienced and the sense of substitution in reality still need to be adjusted. Two days before the makeup photo was taken, Zhang Qi discussed with Director Tang. One night, I started to go on a diet to find my feelings, and even went to sit in the countryside for one night, and the next day I came back with a different spirit."

When Zhao Yao heard this, he thought of Pei Mingzhan's high evaluation of Zhang Qi, so he said, "He is a very good actor."

"I can feel that he is under a lot of pressure." Yao Bai has been busy with the project recently, and naturally he can see Zhang Qi's efforts, "I hope he can act well."

Zhao Yao flipped through the document and said, "Yao Bai, as one of the project leaders, you can't actually think too much about the feelings of the actors. It's not that you don't think about feelings well, it's just that you see that the level is wider than others. Actors focus on acting, and you are facing all the problems that the project has encountered from beginning to end. Everyone is doing their part in their positions, but this is not enough, doing 100% of the work may not be 100% In the same way, you need to pay more for this.”

"I don't think you need to care about how Zhang Qi plays this role, because of his special experience, his requirements for himself will become very strict. He is not a newcomer who has just entered the circle. He has played leading roles and supporting roles, and also ran There are not many things he can see in his eyes." Zhao Yao lowered his eyes slightly and continued to flip through the documents, "Such a person will cherish the opportunity in front of him, because he understands that he has to exceed expectations when he takes up this project. Otherwise, the public's label on him will not change, and their views on him will not change, and the enemy will have a better chance to kick him off the cliff. But this is not enough, a project is not carried by the star, you behind the scenes The staff also have to work hard.”

"So if you really want to do this project well, you have to devote more time and energy." Zhao Yao said simply: "Opportunity waits for no one, students understand this truth, not to mention those of you who have already experienced a lot of things. grown ups."

Yao Bai was in a complicated mood after hearing this, "I understand, and I will urge others to do other work later."

He handed the invitation letter to Zhao Yao, "By the way, brother, Chen Xi asked me to send you an invitation letter, which is strange, Huihua actually received two invitation letters, one of which was named to you. "

Zhao Yao took the invitation, opened it and closed it with a glance.

Yao Bai asked, "Brother, you don't seem surprised?"

"Because it's her, this is very similar to her style." Zhao Yao continued to read the document, "Chen Xi is busy with the press conference next week. Since there are two invitation letters, Huihua will probably send a high-level executive. You these few days Schedule your work and come with me next week."

Yao Bai nodded: "Do I need to prepare anything?"

"No, just bring someone, don't be nervous." Zhao Yao continued to read the document, "Just play it in the past."

Lu Zishi's phone was hung up again by someone from the company, and now even the vice president doesn't answer his call. The Internet has been calm these past few days. When the news about Zhang Qi broke out a few days ago, he wanted to add fire, but he didn't expect that the marketing account that originally cooperated with the studio said that it had received news from the company and was not going to get involved in this matter.

Only now did Lu Zishi's agent get nervous. Originally, these marketing accounts would not refuse their request, and Lu Zishi's popularity is booming now, so the company should be holding them up. Why did he suddenly change his mind at this time? He had to call the vice president. Unexpectedly, the vice president would not answer the phone, and even those in the company began to refuse their requests.

The agent is still a bit well-connected. After careful inquiries, I found out that the boss was arrogant. Now all departments in the company have to report and deal with matters related to Lu Zishi's studio. Even the two original resources that need to be connected have also been replaced by other second-tier stars. It was clear that he would not give Lu Zishi the resources.

"What's going on?" Lu Zishi threw the phone, "I told me about renewing the contract before, but now we're going to transfer our resources? I don't want to stay here anymore, and it's not just this company that can stay. You call and ask the company that approached us earlier, and look at the contract in two days."

This company did this to them and gave resources to others, so don't even think about keeping them. It's not that Lu Zishi can't find a next home.

The agent was looking for a way around, and just after the phone call, he said with a gray face: "There is no way."

Lu Zishi said in astonishment: "What can't you do? Didn't a company come to ask two days ago?"

The agent said: "I just called and they said we offended people."

"Offend people?" Lu Zishi thought about it and couldn't come up with a reason. His resources this year have always been smooth, and with Mr. Wang's special support, he has basically pushed to the top of the traffic. These big guys are also very careful when they get along with each other, and it is absolutely impossible to offend them, "Did you make a mistake?"

The agent frowned: "You can't go wrong, you think about the current attitude of the company and the attitude of these people, it is obvious that you don't want to care about our business. Think carefully about whether you have offended anyone recently, if you really can't, just hit Call Mr. Wang and ask?"

Only then did Lu Zishi get nervous, "I'll call now."

He took out his mobile phone and called Mr. Wang directly. After calling twice, he got through. As soon as he connected, he heard the obvious impatient tone of Mr. Wang on the other side.

Lu Zishi had to soften his voice and ask about it.

Mr. Wang said: "Xiao Lu, this is not easy to handle. Did you join the army a while ago to work on the production of "Limeng"?"

Lu Zishi should be: "But isn't that the crew of Huihua's little poor and sour? What does it have to do with this?"

There were other people laughing on the other end of the phone, and Mr. Wang should be socializing.

Hearing Lu Zishi's question, Mr. Wang said, "This is not easy to handle. Since you know that it is the production crew of Huihua Culture, then you should know who is the boss of Huihua now?"

"Many companies are now trying to talk about cooperation with Huihua. You directly offend other people's film crew. Which company will take your job now? Being with you means you can't get along with Huihua." After a while, Mr. Wang Cai said: "The crew is a small crew, but the force behind it is not a small force. Do you know that the person in charge of Huihua is Zhao Yao, and his ability is not as simple as rumored by the outside world, does the Zhao Group know? It's Xingchen. The culture was packaged and given to Zhao Yao, if you say Huihua wants to mess with you, who would dare to help you?"

Lu Zishi was stunned, what do you mean?

Is Huihua going to mess with him just for the crew of "Leaving the Dream"?

"Brother Wang, you have to help me with this matter, I really didn't know it would turn out like this." Lu Zishi said in a low voice, "Or I'll go and apologize to Mr. Zhao, this is really not what he thought, I..."

Mr. Wang smiled, "You've been with me for a while. I can't help you with anything else. I'll take you to the party next week. Whether it can be salvaged or not is up to you."

He finished and hung up the phone.

Lu Zishiwan was struck by a thunderbolt, and he was speechless for a while.

The agent said anxiously: "What does Mr. Wang say, is there a turning point in this matter?"

Lu Zishi said dejectedly, "We're done."

On the other side, Mr. Wang hung up the phone and said to the other person at the dinner table, "Mr. Lin, let that idiot Lu Zishi come to the party as you ordered."

The man known as President Lin sat in the first place, and there were other people toasting next to him.

Lin always looked like a man in his thirties. At this time, he was carrying peanuts leisurely, ignoring the flattery of others, and when he heard Mr. Wang say this, he suddenly became interested, "Really? "

-*

Zhao Yao followed Pei Mingzhan to Gu Sui's studio several times. The boss was not there, but the others in the studio were still doing their due diligence. Zhao Yao didn't go after several trips. Gu Sui won't be back until a few days later, and he happened to be busy these days.

After knowing that he was going to go to RH, he not only asked Chen Xi to send the materials, but also asked EV to check the situation of RH in the past few years.

He knew too little about the events of his life, and even when he recalled the relevant events, the impression that he stayed was a few years later. At present, the domestic market is in a stage of change and turmoil. Some companies seem to be prosperous now, but in fact they fail in two years. Some companies have no reputation now, but they have suddenly emerged in the market changes in the past few years.

RH has been solid, both now and in a few years.

Zhao Ruihong does not have many properties under her name. She has the ability to flourish in the business circle, but she has no interest in taking risks. Therefore, her only focus in recent years has been on operating RH's foreign industry and reputation, and domestic RH has also stood firm by virtue of this brand's international status. Although it is not as good as those well-known brands that have been operating for hundreds of years, its status among the new brands is still high.

After reading the information sent by EV, Zhao Yao also has a general understanding of the RH situation. These are all minor problems, and the only problem falls on Zhao Ruihong. He didn't know what Zhao Ruihong's attitude towards him at this time was?

If we talk about the previous relationship, they are still a good brother and sister relationship, but when it comes to the last time in their previous life, the relationship between the two of them can only be a cold congratulations.

"Brother, are you leaving?" Yao Bai had already prepared, and with him was the director of Huihua's nominally managing fashion resources.

Zhao Yao, dressed in a low-key black suit, took the thermos bottle handed over by Uncle Wang, and after hearing a few words, he left the apartment.

The driver had been waiting downstairs for a long time, and Zhao Yao got into the car one step ahead of them.

The supervisor followed Yao Bai and asked cautiously, "Mr. Zhao looks calm?"

When I go out to a party, I have to take a thermos with me, just like his old man going out to play Tai Chi. From a distance, it looks unfathomable. He has been in the company for a long time, and he has also met Mr. Zhao at meetings, but Mr. Zhao rarely expresses his own opinions. Most of the time, they let them make up their own minds. This time, let him follow Mr. Zhao to the university Demon King parties, somehow, always have a strange feeling.

Yao Bai also held a list of characters in his hand to avoid not knowing people at the party. He patted the supervisor on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, my brother Yao said, let's play casually."
