Chapter 327 A Tacit Understanding of Ability

After reviewing the information about Asia-Pacific several times in her mind, Wang Jinghua had a plan in mind. Even though she had just been rejected by Zhou Huimin, Wang Jinghua still smiled and continued to stand in front of Zhou Huimin, jokingly playing with the kitten.

I felt a little melancholy; the world is developing too fast, and there are some things I can't understand.

Two years? Not even two years... Vivian Chow in front of me has already distanced herself from everyone else in the entertainment industry. Vivian Chow's obvious refusal to make small money was too abstract, and Wong Jing was somewhat spurred on.

I'm now considered to be at the very top of the entertainment industry, but while I used to be able to compare myself to Vivian Chow, now I feel like a small fry compared to her.

All that hard work and running around, and after a year it's not even as good as the fluctuations in Zhou Huimin's stock, not to mention that Zhou Huimin's internet company is still doubling in value.

Most importantly, Wang Jinghua also noticed that Yabo.com has begun to show its influence on the entertainment industry.

Therefore, Wong Jing-hua understands Zhou Huimin's current attitude of being somewhat detached from the entertainment industry.

Even He Daqi has somewhat adopted this attitude, but fortunately, he has only expressed the attitude and has not yet put it into action.

Thinking of this, Wang Jinghua suddenly realized that she should have talked to He Daqi earlier. At least she could have chatted a bit more, instead of being rejected without hesitation by Zhou Huimin after just getting started.

So she glanced at He Daqi without making a sound and found him laughing heartily with Ning Hao about something.

Taking advantage of the moment before He Daqi finished laughing and had a chance to speak, Wang Jinghua said with a smile, "Daqi, Sister Hua has something else she'd like to ask you."

"Hey! Sister Hua, you're being too polite. We're all from Beijing, why are you begging me?" He Daqi responded quite frankly, but he didn't say whether he agreed or not.

Hearing He Daqi's response, Wang Jinghua smiled even more brightly; this felt just right!
I guess it's because I've been so busy these past few days that my mind wasn't clear, which is why I made the mistake I did before.

"I can't stay here for more than a few days, and it's my fault, I've been really busy lately. So I wanted to take advantage of my time here to hold the artist signing ceremony for Hong Lei and Nai Liang. Inevitably, the Crazy Stone crew will be mentioned, and as everyone knows, it was invested in by your Yonghui Qiming..."

He Daqi understood what Wang Jinghua meant. Wang Jinghua's connections were already considerable, and now that she was in the center of the storm, if she held a press conference, it would probably generate a lot of buzz.

The crucial point is the last sentence: this movie was invested in by Yonghui Qiming...

He Daqi chuckled and ignored Wang Jinghua's probing. Instead, he suggested, "I saw that Sister Wu just signed Bo Ge and Xun Ge's contracts. We've caught up with them this time. Why don't we hold a press conference together?"

“Okay, it’s settled then.” Wang Jinghua nodded with a smile.

Wang Jinghua stayed on set until the end of filming before leaving. When she left, she took Sun Honglei and Jia Nailiang with her, presumably to discuss the specific details of the contract.

He Daqi and Zhou Huimin left early. They had come to Sichuan with a purpose, not to find Ning Hao but to find his wife. However, their original plan to stay for one day changed, and they decided to stay and watch the signing ceremony before going back.

……

Wang Jinghua is very fast.

Many things were arranged by the morning of the third day.

He Daqi also got to see the connections of top agents in the industry.

If Wang Jinghua hadn't run into He Daqi and his wife on the set of Crazy Stone, then the signing ceremony between Sun Honglei and Jia Nailiang would probably have been postponed for a while, at least until Wang Jinghua found a new partner.

This chance encounter was clearly unexpected, which will put Wang Jinghua's ability to handle the situation to the test.

In just a day and a half, reporters from all over the country rushed over, including print media reporters, portal website reporters, and even many local TV entertainment channel reporters.

Unlike Ning Hao's abstract approach of holding a press conference in a machinery factory, Wang Jinghua directly booked a restaurant as the venue for the press conference, which seemed much more reliable than Ning Hao's approach.

At this moment, inside a private room on the third floor of Shuxiangyuan.

Vivian Chow was enjoying a dry pot of duck head, while Ho Tai-kai picked up a large piece of Dongpo pork skin, spread it on his rice, and ate it while watching the live broadcast on the small TV.

This is a live broadcast conducted by reporters from Yabo.com. He Daqi asked them to set up an online private room on the third floor.

It's very convenient, and it saves you from having to watch the replay later. As for going to see it live, that's absolutely impossible.

"Daqi, how come you know so much about Sichuan cuisine? Don't you not eat spicy food much? You made a fool of yourself last time you ate that spicy rice dumpling."

"Don't even mention it. Those spicy rice dumplings aren't proper food. Besides, not all Sichuan cuisine is spicy. Try the non-spicy dishes I ordered later. Actually, this restaurant put too much chili in the Dongpo pork knuckle. The original chili in this dish is just for flavor, not like what they're doing now, throwing in a bunch of dried chilies and cooking them thoroughly. It's different from the duck head you're eating now. Too much chili in this dish will actually mask the aroma of the pork knuckle."

Putting aside other things, He Daqi can comment on the local cuisine of Beijing and Sichuan cuisine, and he can also speak eloquently about Shandong cuisine, after all, he really knows what these dishes taste like when made by top chefs.

"It's on." Zhou Huimin's eyes were also fixed on the small TV screen. When she saw Wang Jinghua leading people in, she reminded her.

He Daqi abandoned his idea of ​​showing off his erudition to Zhou Huimin and turned to look at the screen.

After a moment, Zhou Huimin commented: "Wang Jinghua is very good at publicity. No wonder she was able to attract so many reporters this time. She is willing to answer reporters' questions seriously and does not change the subject. However, she always ends her sentences in a vague manner. She does have some skill."

He Daqi didn't respond to her, and continued to eat his rice while watching the screen. It was Ning Hao's turn to answer the question. Compared to Wang Jinghua, Ning Hao seemed a bit dull, which made He Daqi laugh.

"Hahaha! My senior brother is such an idiot!"

Vivian Chow glanced at the heartless fellow with a smile, pursed her lips, and picked up a spicy duck head to gnaw on.

"Da Qi."

"what happened?"

When do you think Da Wang and Xiao Wang will contact you?

Upon hearing this question, He Daqi stopped eating, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head: "Not necessarily. It's possible that they and Wang Jinghua terminated their contract amicably. If it was amicable, they probably wouldn't come to test us. If not... then they'll probably contact us soon."

"Can it be considered a peaceful termination of the contract if all the shares have been withdrawn? Just wait and see. I bet their probing will begin the moment we get off the plane in Beijing tonight."

"Come on, it's just normal cooperation. If they really lose their minds and want to mess with me, then let's give them a hand in advance."

Holding a press conference in such a grand restaurant is indeed a good idea, with a venue and waiters, and the reporters can even enjoy a fine meal afterward. Unfortunately, this approach is only suitable for Sichuan and Chongqing; it won't work in Beijing. The restaurants there are either too small or don't accept private bookings, making them only suitable for gatherings and banquets. Otherwise, these jobs wouldn't all be taken up by large hotels.

The press conference went very smoothly. The Crazy Stone crew and Wong Jing-hua mutually benefited from each other's popularity. For Sun Honglei, Jia Nailiang, Huang Bo, and Wang Xun, it was a great exposure opportunity.

Despite his brief moment of fame with "Conquer," Sun Honglei's current status is actually quite average, roughly on par with Jia Nailiang.

Don't forget, our Brother Liang has some classic roles: the Magic Prince in the entire series of Balabala Little Fairy, and the supporting role, the Prison Chief, in the recently aired "Miracle in Cell No. 7" with He Daqi.

They're both third-tier celebrities, so neither of them should look down on the other.

As for Huang Bo and Wang Xun, they actually made a pure profit this time; they're not even considered 18th-tier celebrities anymore.

After the press conference, He Daqi quickly said goodbye to Zhou Huimin and Wang Jinghua before rushing to catch his flight.

Going back to Beijing isn't a big deal, but the temperature in Sichuan right now is unbearably high, like being stewed in a pressure cooker. Compared to that, going back to Beijing is like escaping the heat.

Didn't you see that He Bing has been suffering from heatstroke these past two days? He's been lying in his room all day drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine for heatstroke).

Otherwise, He Daqi would have argued with his uncle for a while when he came over. But now there's no need for that. His uncle said he didn't want to see this brat, lest he get heatstroke and get a sore throat.

……

The press conference was held at noon, and the news appeared in the afternoon.

It takes more than three hours to fly from Sichuan to Beijing, plus the waiting time for the flight, so it takes about four hours.

The sun hadn't completely set when the couple left the airport.

Inside the van, Vivian Chow was laying the kitten on her lap with its belly exposed, gently stroking the kitten's chin with her fingers.

He Daqi was browsing the blogs posted by entertainment influencers on Yabo.com on his phone, looking very careful, afraid that he might accidentally click a like.

The phone used to log in with the secondary account was out of battery, otherwise He Daqi wouldn't have used the main account to browse. It was not only troublesome, but every time he logged in, there were 999+ message notifications in the message bar, which made He Daqi want to click on them to take a look.

The nanny van didn't go straight back to the residential area, but instead exited the highway on the East Third Ring Road.

Feeling the car slow down, Zhou Huimin looked up at the window and then patted He Daqi's arm: "We're here."

The couple started wearing masks and sunglasses.

After parking the car, the two got out and wandered around the perimeter of the construction site.

The site we selected last time has already started construction, and the progress is quite fast. The road connecting to the main road has been opened, but because construction vehicles need to travel back and forth to the site, the road hasn't been properly repaired yet; it's just a dirt road for now.

This didn't stop the couple from leisurely walking towards the construction site.

Once you get to the gate of this newly opened construction site, you can't go any further in. The construction site had been closed for about an hour. Apart from trucks delivering earth and stone, anyone else who wants to enter needs to register.

"Has the foundation been laid?" He Daqi looked into the house through the gate and could vaguely see the progress of the construction of his new home.

Zhou Huimin, holding the cat, also leaned close to him and looked inside. When she heard He Daqi's question, she shook her head and said disapprovingly, "Isn't this a basement? The building we're going to build isn't very tall, so laying the foundation won't take this long."

"Huh? What's that over there? Why is there such a big fence around it?" He Daqi glanced over casually and noticed that the houses next to his new home were also under construction.

"That's the indoor sports field I chose. The basement will be an indoor swimming pool, the first floor will be an indoor basketball court, the second floor will be a badminton court or tennis court, the third floor will have a few ping-pong tables, and a tea room will be set up, with a water bar at the entrance. Then we won't have to worry about wind or rain when we want to exercise."

Listening to Zhou Huimin's well-organized arrangements, He Daqi stared blankly for a while, making Zhou Huimin uncomfortable. She nudged He Daqi and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Are you sure you want to move around then? I feel like you haven't exercised in ages. Forget badminton or basketball, this summer, whether in Beijing or South Korea, you haven't been in the swimming pool even once. And here you are, fenced off such a huge area..."

Zhou Huimin was a little taken aback by He Daqi's words. She tilted her head back and retorted confidently, "I'm willing! I have plenty of money! Even if we don't build an indoor sports field, I can still build an indoor children's playground, just for the two kids to play in, isn't that okay?"

"No problem! As long as you're happy!" He Daqi chuckled and gave a thumbs up.

The more He Daqi acted this way, the more Zhou Huimin felt that He Daqi might be secretly criticizing her.

However, He Daqi's smiling face made it impossible for Zhou Huimin to find an excuse to argue with him. At this moment, Zhou Huimin felt extremely aggrieved. Fortunately, she was used to being unreasonable, so she immediately found a reason.

"You were talking too loudly! It hurt my ears!" Zhou Huimin said triumphantly, stomping on He Daqi's custom-made leather shoes.

Looking at Vivian Chow with her cape, Ho Tai-kei was so angry he almost laughed. "You can do that?"

"Damn it! You're being unreasonable, aren't you? I didn't say anything else about you, I even praised you."

"Yeah, maybe the praise was too loud!"

He Daqi sneered, grabbed Zhou Huimin's arm and started walking back: "Let's go, we're not watching anymore, let's go home first."

If she went home, she would be in big trouble. Vivian Chow immediately squatted down and started throwing a tantrum: "What are you doing! Let go, do you hear me? If you don't let go, I'll yell!"

"Are you going home or not? Are you trying to fool me?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to go home? We haven't had dinner yet." Seeing He Daqi's expression, Zhou Huimin was even less inclined to get up. She pouted, hugged the cat, squatted on the ground, and tilted her head back. He Daqi, who was standing next to her with his arms crossed and looking down at her, looked like a rogue bully who was bullying a weak girl.

“Eating at home is no different. After dinner, I’ll teach you a lesson on what it means to be gentle and virtuous,” He Daqi said cheerfully, kicking Zhou Huimin’s butt as she squatted on the ground.

"Do you believe I'll delete your game account? If you bully me again, I'll... Ugh, you're so annoying. Hmm~ Daqi, let's talk this out~ I want to sleep with the kids tonight..."

Zhou Huimin was halfway through her sentence when He Daqi, impatient with her, picked her up in a princess carry. She immediately changed her mind, her intimidation turning into appeasement.
