When Yan Xiao said this, he was standing next to Ye Fei.

He was wearing soft gray loungewear, buttoned to the top, still looking as if he was in the office. p49oAb

Ye Fei’s heartbeat suddenly slowed for half a beat, but soon returned to normal. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. Ye Fei had not expected Yan Xiao to spend more than a hundred million yuan to make him happy, in order to avoid a divorce.

On the other hand, in Yan Xiao’s current position, the most precious thing is not money but time.

“Don’t you need to read the script first?” Ye Fei asked him.

Yan Xiao said “No”. He asked again, “When will the contract be signed? I’ll call someone to arrange it.” odYd0P

Yan Xiao’s property was managed by a professional financial management team. Although one or two hundred million is not a large amount for him, he must prepare in advance.

Ye Fei raised his head.

Yan Xiao was very tall, and because he was standing, he was more than half his height. But Yan Xiao’s eyes were honest as they looked down on him, and even if he was talking about throwing money for Ye Fei, he did not have any taste of charity. It seemed that no matter how excessive Ye Fei’s demands were, he could satisfy them.

No one could refuse such a clumsy and clichéd flattery. Even if Yan Xiao had another purpose, Ye Fei was still a little moved.

From the time he decided to invest in <<Super Time Redemption>> , Yan Xiao was the first person to support him unconditionally.

“What if I lose money?” Ye Fei asked him softly.

“It doesn’t matter”, Yan Xiao said before squatting down to look into Ye Fei’s eyes. “Ye Fei.” He called his name.

Ye Fei let out a “hmm”. qZWzg

“It’s okay,” Yan Xiao said, his fingers twitching, as if he wanted to touch Ye Fei’s hand. Instead, he continued, “You pay, I’ll make it up.”

“I have money,” he added, telling Ye Fei, “Don’t be afraid.”

For a moment, Ye Fei seemed to have withdrawn from the world. His brain was buzzing, and Yan Xiao’s words ‘Don’t be afraid’ kept echoing in his ears. The visual senses of his body seemed to have become Yan Xiao’s property and completely out of Ye Fei’s control. He could only see Yan Xiao, and think about him.

Ye Fei wanted to interject like before, with a couple of rude remarks, or change the subject. However, what was originally in his grasp, could not be said no matter what. KHyztm

In the end, he could only open his eyes in embarrassment and say, “Okay”.

Ye Fei did not sleep well all night, and when he arrived at Tianxi the next day, his eyes were still a little bloodshot.

“Tsk tsk tsk, those who experience spring every night are just different from us.” Gu Ruijia teased him.

Spring every night – What the shit! Ye Fei was in a bad mood already, but when Gu Ruijia said that, he was even more depressed. Ye Fei had never even tasted  meat in his two lifetimes.tasted meat in his two lifetimes vHdpDM

“F*ck,” Gu Ruijia listened beside him when he called, scratching his head with curiosity. As soon as Ye Fei hung up, he leaned over and questioned, “Where did you get that one hundred million from?”

Ye Fei: “…” TBHvdZ

Ye Fei didn’t want to talk about this topic. “It’s not important.” He waved his hand away.

Gu Ruijia refused to accept this response, and was about to have a good chat with Ye Fei. However, Ye Fei deftly changed the subject and started talking about business affairs: “The company does not have much working capital on its books, and the investment project timeline is too long, so now there is only one road left—”

Gu Ruijia’s thoughts were led astray and asked, “What way?”

“Buy IP.” Ye Fei answered. The IP battle was not like the scene of two years into the future, with millions thrown about. Generally speaking, an IP was worth hundreds of thousands at most. Of course, phenomenal works were not in this category. jhIkzU

Ye Fei remembered that in June of this year, an ancient costume drama adapted from an online novel became popular all over the country, and thus started the IP frenzy. The major film and television companies acted like the stupid sons of landlords, and they would start pouring money into them, regardless of whether they could shoot the drama serial.

This situation lasted for two years, until a series of national policies appeared. The film and television industry entered a cold winter and gradually subsided.

“Why should we buy IP?” Gu Ruijia was puzzled, “With our current conditions, we can’t produce them.”

Buying IP was only the first step in the shooting process. The audiences of online novels and TV movies were different. After the film and television company obtained the copyright, it must be changed by a professional screenwriter before it could be turned into a script. Preparations and project establishment were still required… In short, it was impossible to make easy money with all kinds of troublesome things cropping up. sMpadC

“Of course we don’t shoot,” Ye Fei smiled, “We sell it to other film and television companies.”

Gu Ruijia still couldn’t figure it out: “How do you know that people want IP? If they don’t want it, won’t it sit as a liability?”

“They will want it.” Ye Fei’s tone was firm.

Gu Ruijia didn’t know where his confidence came from, but these days he was used to listening to Ye Fei’s words, and he still followed what he said and ordered the people under his command to contact those IPs. qa3NS6

After talking about business, Gu Ruijia was about to invite him out for a fun night when he heard Ye Fei say, “Go, call me those little fresh meat newly signed by the company.”

Gu Ruijia: “???”

Gu Ruijia was on the alert.

“What do you want to do?” Gu Ruijia was not overly suspicious, but Ye Fei’s criminal record was already raising red flags. A few days ago, Ye Fei was clamoring for divorce, and today he wanted to look at the fresh meat? What could go wrong? cK0IdC

Ye Fei sneered. “Why, are you afraid that I will impose unspoken rules on your family’s artists?”

Gu Ruijia first retorted: “What my family, isn’t it yours as well?” Then he realized that his focus was wrong, and immediately added, “Then I’m really afraid.”

Ye Fei lifted his chin slightly and looked out the window. After a while, he said, “Don’t worry, I just want a look.”

He felt that he must have been deceived by Yan Xiao’s face, so he had the illusion of his heart being moved. He needed to test his hypothesis if it was the same with another good-looking person. wSi9dH

“Bah! Scumbag!” Gu Ruijia glanced at him disdainfully, “Do you think I would believe it? Are you going to tell me that I won’t be able to attend as well?”

Ye Fei: “…”

Ye Fei: “Why are you so filthy in thinking? I’ll see the company’s artists and find out what they’re like. Otherwise, how can I plan a career path for them?”

Gu Ruijia looked at him suspiciously: “Really?” pbfWrn

Ye Fei nodded.

In the end, Gu Ruijia called in the little fresh meat. Tianxi was not a big company, thus all of its sign-ons were unknown artists. At first glance, their accounts were followed by five or six million Weibo fans, but these fans were actually bought with money.

Suddenly summoned by the boss, the little fresh meat did not know what was going on.

Those who can enter the entertainment industry are not ugly. The little fresh meat look handsome, fresh and energetic. Even with a little shyness and anxiety because of their youth, the new-hires were especially delectable. WwXB40

However, Ye Fei’s heart was like an ancient well, and no ripples were made.

This one’s figure is not as good as Yan Xiao’s, the other’s back is not as strong as Yan Xiao’s, and the last one is barely comparable to Yan Xiao’s, but his temperament was not even one star.

Even if Ye Fei did not deliberately compare, those who have eaten at a seafood buffet would turn their noses at clear porridge and mediocre side dishes.

Ye Fei sighed in her heart. He paired up the little fresh meats one by one according to the personal information he had just printed out, before waving his hands in desperation, signaling them to get out. YBhcjQ

Gu Ruijia had been watching and supervising, for fear that Ye Fei would make the kind of mistakes that men would make. Seeing that he really was not planning on anything, his mind suddenly became active. “Wait, you can’t just call that an understanding. Okay, let’s have dinner together tonight and introduce yourselves to President Ye.”

Hearing the words, the little fresh meat looked at Ye Fei in unison, with anticipation in their eyes

There are not many opportunities to eat with the boss, so we grab the chance.

What? What should I do if I get drunk with unspoken rules? If it was someone else, they would have to worry about it, but this President Ye looks better than that. If something really happens, it’s not certain who will take advantage. RUrBuM

Ye Fei thought for a while before nodding. He did not want to go home to face Yan Xiao for the time being.

In the evening, the group went to a barbecue restaurant with a good reputation. This was the advantage of not being famous. Wherever you want to go, you never have to worry about being surrounded by fans.

Tonight was Ye Fei’s treat, and the little fresh meat were too timid to order too much, but Gu Ruijia happily took advantage to order all the skewers on the menu. The store had made full use of technology; with a robot bringing the dishes to their table. The huge six-tiered shelf was filled with all kinds of grilled meat skewers, and the visual impact pierced the eyes.

“Come on,” Gu Ruijia also found it quite novel. He raised his mobile phone and stood by the grill, motioning for the little fresh meat to come over, “Let’s take a photo before eating.” fMI0Tb

The little fresh meat were self-aware, and obediently left the guest of honor position to Ye Fei. But because there were so many people, in order to ensure that everyone appeared on camera, they stood very close to each other. After taking a look at the final photo, Ye Fei felt as though he was being hugged by all sides.

Gu Ruijia, this straight man, did not pay attention. He focused on taking a good picture. After posting the photo to the circle of friends, he happily cheered on everyone to drink and eat meat.

In Feixiao Science and Technology Building, Yan Xiao had finished answering an email for project funding, and was about to ask Cheng Minghao to come over and talk about an internet conference. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he opened WeChat and clicked into the group chat.

Yan Xiao felt that these social groups were a waste of time, like looking at the scenery of a back garden. However, he remembered Cheng Minghao’s suggestion the other day, and planned to refer to group chats in order to post a piece of content that only Ye Fei can read. BriIFN

The circular little rainbow turned twice, and then the latest news came out. The first one was Gu Ruijia’s—

Gu Ruijia: President Ye bled a lot for the little fresh meat today, hahahahahaha! 【photo】

Location: Chuang Yi Barbecue Restaurant.

In the photo, Ye Fei was surrounded by several men, his lips lifted in a smile. He seemed very happy, and even put his hand on one of them. O94QA6

Yan Xiao’s lips gradually pursed. He stared at the photo in silence, and a minute later, called the driver to be on standby downstairs, before striding out of the office.

When Yan Xiao arrived, Ye Fei was leaning halfway on the back of the chair, smiling and listening to a little fresh meat beside him. It was dinner rush hour, and the restaurant was a bit noisy. Perhaps because the other party’s words were unclear, Ye Fei had frowned and leaned forward again. The two were already very close, and this movement, from the back, looked like rubbing of ears and temples between lovers.

Seeing that Ye Fei’s face was about to meet that little fresh meat, Yan Xiao’s head emptied of thoughts. Unable to bear it, he suddenly reached forward and grabbed Ye Fei’s collar, pulling him back.

The table was silent. qWY3Cp

Ye Fei narrowed his eyes and turned his head slowly.

Yan Xiao’s body froze, quickly retracting his hand to his back. He then turned his face and looked to the side blankly, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Fei: “…”
