Now that we are reborn, who still wants to be an honest person?

Chapter 264 Chocolate Animation?

The name "Chocolate Studio" sounded somewhat familiar to Fangzhou.

But I can't remember where I heard it right now.

It must be from a past life.

And it should be quite famous.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have remembered the name of the studio so quickly.

Fangzhou looked at Tangtang:

"Has this studio produced any famous works before?"

Tang Tang's eyes looked somewhat confused:

"I'm not quite sure about that yet."

"You're asking this? Is there something wrong with this studio?"

Zhao Xiaotong said:
"Probably not."

"There's not much to be proud of in the domestic animation industry right now."

"If this studio really had any good works, people in the industry would know about it. I've never heard of this studio before."

"What, you remember this studio?"

Fangzhou shook his head in confusion:

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Zhao Xiaotong knew Fang Zhou's personality.

Since he asked that question, this studio must have something special about it.

I thought about it.

Zhao Xiaotong said:
"I'll have someone check it out later."

"Since it's an animation studio, maybe they've made some anime or short films before, or maybe they've participated in international awards."

"It's relatively easy to find out."

Animation, comics...

Fangzhou's eyes lit up.

He waved his hand and said to Zhao Xiaotong:
"Let's change our approach and stop checking what works they've done before."

"Find out with someone whether this studio is located in Sichuan Province, or more precisely, whether they were established in Chengdu."

"Is there anyone in the studio...?"

"Um, I don't know his real name. Let's see if he has a nickname or alias like 'Dumpling'."

Fangzhou remembered why it felt familiar.

In the memory of the previous life.

A few years later, a Chinese animated film suddenly appeared, stunning everyone.

If this Chocolate Animation Studio is indeed the Cocoa Bean Animation Company I know, then Ark won't miss this opportunity.

If it really is him, it's currently just a studio, so acquiring or collaborating with him would be easy.

Want to make movies?

Okay.

We have plenty of money.

Zhao Xiaotong looked at Fang Zhou in surprise:

"You want this studio?"

"However, since it's a studio, it means it's not very large."

"You want to get into animation and turn the story of Kapibala into a movie? Then we can set up our own studio."

Fangzhou shook his head:

"This is not the studio I want."

"It's this person."

Tangtang Mingwu:

"This woman named Dumpling is a stunning beauty!"

ark:???
"If such a person really exists."

"Have the legal department gather some evidence to see if they have infringed on any rights, and send them a lawyer's letter to scare them."

Zhao Xiaotong didn't ask any more questions and nodded, understanding Fangzhou's meaning.

He had fallen for this person.

Zhao Xiaotong knew.

Fangzhou often has some unexpected ideas.

But often.

These ideas also had unexpected effects.

Since Fangzhou values this person so much, it means that this person must have some extraordinary abilities. Let's think of a way to recruit him.

This reminded Zhao Xiaotong of that line—

What's most important in the 21st century? Talent!
In any case, once an animation production studio is consolidated, it will definitely be under the management of a media company.

Zhao Xiaotong was naturally happy to do it.

at this time.

Zhao Xiaotong's phone rang.

It was Zhang Ai who called her.

Yes, Fang Zhou had made a bet with Meng Bin before, saying that he wanted Zhang Ai to do things for him.

Meng Bin was originally going to Kyoto.

They were even thinking of bringing Zhang Ai along.

After all, having such a useful person by your side makes things more convenient.

However, Meng Xiaorong intervened and, on the grounds of accepting the consequences of a bet, persuaded Meng Bin to keep the man, who is still working at the clubhouse.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhang Dong from Sujing Electric Appliances is here. He brought your friend to our clubhouse to discuss business."

Zhao Xiaotong's face showed a look of astonishment.

He paused for a moment before saying:

"I see."

"I'll see if it's suitable later, and then I'll go and say hello."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaotong was still a little confused.

He noticed several people staring at him.

Zhao Xiaotong said:

"Zhang Dong is here."

"Why is he here?"

"When the Zijin Club opened, we sent out invitations to many people, including Zhang Dong. However, apart from coming to the opening ceremony, these people never came back."

"I guess they look down on this place."

"Now."

"Suddenly changed your gender?"

The reason why Zhao Xiaotong is so strange.

It's because Zhang Dong's identity is different from that of ordinary people; he has a significant background.

He is the owner of Sujing Electric Appliances, and for a time he was the richest man in Sujing. He is also the vice president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

Although Meng Bin had previously boasted about how powerful the Zijin Club was and how extensive its connections were.

But in reality, only a limited number of people can come here.

Or rather, a type of people.

Someone of Zhang Dong's status wouldn't stoop to this level.

Take Tang Tang's father, Tang Jianhuang, for example. He often goes to Suzhou for business. Although he knows about the Zijin Club and has received invitations, he rarely goes there.

So before that.

Tangtang was unfamiliar with the Zijin Club.

Knowing that Zhang Dong had arrived, Zhao Xiaotong, though not certain, already had a guess.

It must also be related to Fangzhou acquiring Mengbin's shares.

downstairs.

The lobby of the guild hall.

Su Junqiu and his group were preparing to leave.

These people got a sum of money from Fangzhou, essentially getting something for nothing, and they were all beaming with joy.

Just got to the door.

Then they saw three people coming in.

Upon seeing the people entering, Su Junqiu, who was walking at the front, looked surprised.

He quickly bowed slightly to greet them:

"Uncle Zhang."

"Why are you here?"

The people around them also showed a slight respect.

Although the person opposite is just a businessman, Suzhou is the provincial capital, and these spoiled rich kids, regardless of whether their family connections are in the province or the city, all operate in Suzhou.

I still hold this former richest man in some respect.

Zhang Dong glanced at Su Junqiu.

Nodding and saying:
"It's Xiao Su."

He didn't seem to care much about it in his words.

Although Su Junqiu has now taken over the Su family business, the people who can really talk to him are still from Su Junqiu's father's generation.

Su Junqiu is just a junior.

Despite the Su family's unusual background.

But at Zhang Dong's level, who wouldn't know some people?

So after exchanging greetings, Zhang Dong had no interest in talking to Su Junqiu much and prepared to lead his men inside.

Su Junqiu, on the other hand, had just taken over the Su family business and wanted to interact with these people more.

He said solicitously:
"I have always admired Uncle Zhang."

"Uncle Zhang rarely comes here before, what brings you here today?"

Zhang Dong said calmly:
"I just found out about this place."

"I had some things to discuss with a friend and wanted to find a quiet place, so I found this place."

talking.

Zhang Dong led his men inside.

Su Junqiu and the people next to him looked rather displeased when they saw Zhang Dong's attitude.

In the eyes of outsiders.

They're pretty much troublemakers. This guy, just because he has some money, doesn't respect them at all.

They naturally realized that Zhang Dong's words were just perfunctory; Zhang Dong hadn't come to the Zijin Club before simply because he looked down on them.

Fangzhou has now become a major shareholder of the club.

He arrived.

He just wants to get closer to Ark!

Rumors are circulating that quite a few people want to curry favor with Ark; they're really too opportunistic.

Zhang Dong naturally didn't care what these people thought.

We just got to the front.

Zhang Ai immediately came forward:
"So it's Mr. Zhang who has graced us with his presence."

"Are you looking for a place to have some tea?"

Upon seeing Zhang Dong, Zhang Ai was also taken aback, but she quickly understood the key point. She was amazed by the influence of the new boss, as even someone like Zhang Dong was starting to approach him.

People who came to the association hall before.

Aside from the second-generation rich kids who have some connection with He and Meng Bin.

The businessmen who came were either of average means or had something to ask of Meng Bin and his group, and wanted to establish a relationship with them.

Find connections through the second-generation rich kid.

It's easy to imagine that these people were truly at their wits' end.

People like Zhang Dong are too busy distancing themselves from these spoiled rich kids to bother trying to get close to them.

As Zhang Ai led the three to the private room, Zhang Dong asked:

"Does your Mr. Fang always come here?"

Zhang Ai paused for a moment, then spoke truthfully:
"Here I am."

"Moreover, Mr. Fang and Mr. Zhao are at the club today. I'll go and inform the boss later."

In the guild hall, Fangzhou was considered the host.

Since the guest has asked, I should give them a definite answer.

Zhang Dong waved his hand:

"Need not."

"I'll visit Mr. Fang again later."

Upon seeing the Zijin Club membership card handed to him by Zhang Ai, Zhang Dong hesitated slightly before accepting it.

……

In the blink of an eye.

The end of the semester is approaching.

During this period, the university campus is usually much quieter.

People who don't usually attend classes will study seriously or pretend to study seriously at this time. Some people even stay up all night to study, as if they want to make up for everything they missed before.

As Fangzhou returned to 307, he passed by dormitories filled with diligent figures.

Go back to dorms.

Those animals are all there.

“My dear sons, your beloved father has come to see you again.”

In the matter of vying to be the roommate's father.

Boys always enjoy it.

but.

I want to be a good father.

He must show the kind of fatherly care befitting his status.

For example, now.

Fangzhou left a pack of Su cigarettes on the dormitory table.

The three people in the dormitory, who were busy with their own things, heard such arrogant words and originally wanted to teach that ignorant guy a lesson, and also wanted to ascend to the throne in front of them.

Upon seeing the rations, the three men's expressions immediately changed.

"Dad, why are you here?"

This is just a perfunctory response.

The three opened the rations brought by the Ark and soon began to smoke, filling the dormitory with a misty, ethereal atmosphere.

These three guys are all married now.

Find a partner in college.

It cost a lot of money.

You should always go on a date on the weekend!
We can't eat in the cafeteria all the time; we need to treat ourselves to something nice every now and then!

On holidays and birthdays, let's add a little romance!
This all costs rice.

Usually, before the end of the month, we have to start borrowing food to make ends meet because of the living expenses provided by our families.

The end of the semester is the worst period for disasters.

Instant noodles are a luxury.

Buy a few steamed buns at the cafeteria.

With the leftover seasoning packets from instant noodles mixed with some hot water, even plain steamed buns can have some flavor.

Although Old Sun's wife is not by his side.

But this is the monthly phone bill.

The expenses are not small.

Occasionally, they would send small gifts or Suzhou specialties back home, but life was still quite frugal.

Originally, Sun Laohu's mature-looking face and acne-covered cheeks gave him a natural advantage if he were looking for tutoring work.

But he is the class monitor.

In addition, a student council was added.

Student unions in universities are breeding grounds for bureaucracy.

Those sophomores and juniors who are student union officers are either trying to build relationships with the teachers in the student affairs office or giving orders to other members.

The freshmen student council members are at the bottom of the food chain.

It means doing manual labor.

Every weekend there are all sorts of activities.

Comrade Tiger is determined to go back and become a school principal in the future, so he can't miss this opportunity for political study.

So I don't have much time for part-time work.

It was the end of the semester.

They also lived a very hard life.

His wife did send him money.

However, even a tiger has a sense of shame, and he can't just spend his wife's money without a clear conscience.

As for Ma Xiaoshuai...

He's from Suzhou, and his family is quite well-off.

Moreover, the family provided a car before the start of the school year.

But this time, he chose the nightmare difficulty level for his romance adventure, and his target was Li Xiaoxiao, a classmate.

Li Xiaoxiao.

They are also people with life goals.

If she meets someone she truly wants to give her heart to, she'd work part-time and eat only steamed buns to support him through food, drink, and internet access.

As for Ma Xiaotiao, who took the initiative to approach him.

I want to spend time together.

The standard of living must not be low.

Ma Xiaotiao himself is also a person who cares a lot about his image.

He frequently treated Li Xiaoxiao to meals, mostly at restaurants, and often took her and her dormmates out on weekends, which resulted in endless expenses.

His parents knew about this.

Living expenses are subject to a fixed amount.

this time.

They have to share a single cigarette.

It completely wore away Ma Xiaotiao's slight air of being a spoiled young master.

Seeing the whole thing Fangzhou brought, I was deeply moved and truly regarded Fangzhou as my second parents.

Meng De asked curiously:

"Old Fang."

"What brings you here today?"

"It's almost the end of the semester, are you also planning to cram at the last minute because you're afraid of failing your final exams?"

Fangzhou also took out a cigarette and lit it using the tiger's lighter.

He squinted and said:
"Old Huang contacted me this morning."
