Chapter 419 Preparation Completed
Yabo.com Building.

Many of Yabo.com's employees took taxis to make room for today's event, in order to free up the underground parking lot and above-ground parking spaces.

There was no mandatory requirement; it was just a suggestion from the department heads after get off work yesterday. However, it seems that everyone had the same idea, so there were plenty of parking spaces today. Even though all the guests had parked their cars, there were still more than half of the spaces left.

After getting out of the car, Mr. Ma adjusted his glasses, looked at the rows of Buicks nearby, and had a rough idea of ​​who was coming today.

Even though Wang Rui had mentioned it to him before, he still felt a little strange seeing it now.

As important strategic partners, Tencent and Yabo.com have already completed several projects. Apart from the video website, which is still burning money, the others, such as the live streaming platform and the online ticketing platform, are now starting to generate returns.

Among them, live streaming platforms are the fastest to see returns on investment. Their daily revenue has been increasing day by day since their launch, making it seem like live streaming platforms are going public ahead of schedule, even before Yabo.com has had time to go public.

"Mr. Ma, welcome."

Wang Rui led his people out through the main gate, smiled and shook hands with President Ma, and then began to greet those who had come with President Ma. It was clear that the two sides were quite familiar with each other after several collaborations.

Dozens of people entered the building chatting and laughing. This was the first time Mr. Ma had come here since Yabo.com moved. He seemed quite interested in the interior design and looked around with a hint of curiosity after entering.

Wang Rui noticed this situation, so instead of leading the penguin group upstairs, he introduced them in the lobby.

Ultimately, they had business to attend to, so both sides tacitly agreed not to stay downstairs for too long. After wandering around for a bit, they took two separate elevators upstairs.

On the way to the conference room, Mr. Ma and Wang Rui chatted in hushed tones as they walked.

"After this round of financing, will the listing date change? Will it be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange like ours?"

"It was before June, also a Hong Kong stock, and I had already applied. However, after the financing is completed, there will be another review. It's just a change in shareholding, so the review won't take too long."

How many shares are you planning to issue?

"The current target is 10%, but it's not certain; it depends on how the shares are distributed after this round of financing."

"I estimate that when you go public and announce your shareholder list, shareholders will see that our two companies have cross-shareholdings, and Tencent's stock will also hit the daily limit."

"Hahaha, let's make a fortune together."

"Yes, let's get rich together."

As they were talking, the group pushed open the door and entered the conference room.

There were only two people sitting in the not-so-small conference room.

Upon seeing Wang Rui and Boss Ma enter, He Daqi and Zhou Huimin stood up and greeted them warmly.

After exchanging pleasantries and discussing the shares, the conversation turned to entertainment gossip.

Mr. Ma also loves gossip. He sat next to He Daqi and asked in a low voice about photographer Chen. After hearing some inside information, he commented repeatedly, "As expected, it's still the capitalists playing tricks."

After chatting for a short while, He Daqi and his wife went out with the others.

Since it was inconvenient for the two of them to show up at the next event, Wang Rui, along with several managers from Yabo.com and Mr. Ma, along with a few people from Tencent, waited there.

About ten minutes later, the companies that were interested in receiving funding were led in by customer service.

The confident expressions that Wang Rui and Boss Ma had on their faces vanished instantly, and the two of them bowed and scraped as they went to greet them.

"Hello, President Dong. I am Wang Rui, the president of Yabo.com. You can just call me Xiao Wang."

"Hello Mr. Zhou, welcome to this Yabo.com financing. Whether it succeeds or not, let's be friends. If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. I'm Penguin Xiao Ma. We met once in Shenzhen. We also have shares in Yabo.com."

"General Manager Deng..."

"Mr. Ye..."

……

……

Many flowers in the yard have bloomed, filling the air with their fragrance. In particular, the wall of pink roses, which Zhou's mother had pruned, are now in full bloom and look quite beautiful.

He Daqi's hands were a bit idle, so while he was on the phone, he used his thumbnail to pinch a flower vine. After a long effort, he finally managed to pluck one off.

“Mr. Adolf, there’s no rush. It’s better to be more prepared. I’m not finished here yet. Let’s contact each other again in three days.”

“He, I said I was ready last month, but you kept saying three days later, then three days later, then three days later still. It’s almost been a month, and you often don’t answer my calls. Can you give me a specific time?” Adolf’s tone was slightly aggrieved, feeling that He Daqi had been standing him up all along.

"You've seen Infernal Affairs too?"

"Infernal Affairs? What's that?"

"Um... I was just joking with you about a movie I'm in. I'm really busy and can't find the time. Let's leave it at that for now. Anyway, Seagate will take care of all your eating, drinking, and having fun over there, so don't worry about anything else. Just focus on preparing for the movie." He Daqi's tone was as perfunctory as possible, and he made up a few more excuses with a laugh.

"But I've already made all the preparations..."

Before Adolf Reinhard could finish speaking, He Daqi interrupted, "Oh dear, I'm busy again, I have to go now, bye-bye."

After saying that, he put the phone away from his ear and hung up with a swipe of his finger.

Without giving Adolf Reinhard time to react, and before he could call again, He Daqi opened his contacts, quickly flipped through a few pages, and then dialed.

"Hello, Chairman Li, this is He Daqi."

"Hello Mr. He, are you here to ask about Mr. Adolf?"

"No, I wanted to ask about the content of 'Wild Chrysanthemum,' and also about how to control the public opinion in South Korea after its release."

"You don't need to worry about those two points. We at Seagate are very skilled at guiding fans, and since you have your own fan club here, you can easily shift their focus to other aspects of the movie's plot."

It won't have a significant impact on your reputation. Besides, I have a plan to shift the blame. If things get out of hand, I have ways to redirect public opinion elsewhere. Please have faith in Seagate's capabilities.

As for the issue of content, you don't need to worry about that at all. I can say with absolute certainty that as long as it's in South Korea, there's no film that Seagate can't or dares to make! Wow!
He was stunned by Chairman Li's powerful final promise. He wondered if Seagate was really that powerful.

"Okay... I was just asking casually. Since you guys can handle it, I'm relieved. That's all for now, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, He Daqi was a little suspicious. Chairman Li had come up with a plan to shift the blame? Could it be that he was going to shift the blame onto him? That shouldn't be the case. There's still a film about veterans that hasn't been shot yet. It's unlikely that he would shift the blame onto him.

It's clear that after becoming familiar with the film censorship standards in China, He Daqi started using those standards to judge other places, and he's starting to misjudge the censorship standards of those other places.

Especially given the recent setbacks He Daqi has faced in helping Ning Hao with the approval process in the no-man's-land, hearing Chairman Li's boastful remarks made him seem like he was spouting nonsense.

Without giving it much thought, He Daqi, still in his pajamas and not wanting to stay in the yard for too long, returned to the villa with flowers in one hand and his phone in the other, yawning.

With her two children not home, Vivian Chow didn't sit on the living room sofa to watch TV with them.

She was lying on her bed in the bedroom playing on her phone. When she heard that He Daqi had returned, she didn't even bother to look at him and focused on typing instructions and planning the activities of He Daqi's anti-fans association.

"Here, I'll give you a little flower." He Daqi waved a pink rose in front of Zhou Huimin.

"Could you be any more perfunctory?" Zhou Huimin rolled her eyes at him disdainfully.

"Sending flowers is just a token of affection. We're an old married couple, why bother with formalities?" He Daqi tossed the flowers at Zhou Huimin, grinned, and lay down on the bed.

He glanced at Vivian Chow's phone screen and clicked his tongue, saying, "You spend money every day organizing people to smear me, don't you get tired of it?"

"Not tired at all, not tired at all. I even think they didn't scold me harshly enough."

Zhou Huimin picked up the flower, intending to throw it back at He Daqi's face, but hesitated and held it to her nose. She then noticed that the pink rose wasn't fully open. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and stopped directing the haters. She nuzzled against He Daqi and grumbled, "Daqi, you've never given me roses before. I don't care, you have to find some time to give me roses."

"Are there still people chasing after you for money these days?"

"Are you going to see me off or not?!"

"Of course I'll send it. I'll go out and buy it this afternoon. Otherwise, if I forget again in a couple of days, the earliest I'll remember will be a month later."

Zhou Huimin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why a month later?"

"I'm going to South Korea to film a movie in a couple of days. It'll be at least a month before I go."

In the past few days, Vivian Chow has witnessed just how procrastinating Ho Tai-kai can be. He clearly promised others that he would go to film as soon as he was ready, but he kept postponing it, putting it off for another half month. It's not just laziness that can achieve this level of procrastination; Vivian Chow doesn't really believe that he doesn't have a procrastination problem.

"Are you going to buy me flowers this afternoon? How about this, we'll sleep at the new house tonight, and you can buy more roses. I want to cover the bed with petals." Zhou Huimin smiled and snuggled up to He Daqi, preventing him from looking at his phone, and rubbed her face against He Daqi's chest.

……

……

I've already learned my lesson twice; I can't let it happen a third time.

This was said not only to He Daqi and his wife, but also to the elders in the family.

The couple had brought their child to South Korea twice before, and each time the child came back with a tan. When they heard that the two troublesome people were going to take the child to South Korea again, Grandpa He and Grandma He were not very happy, as was Zhou's mother.

Fortunately, when the two little rascals heard that they couldn't go with their parents to play, they cried, made a fuss, and rolled around on the ground, whining all day long. In the end, Zhou's mother softened and decided to go to South Korea with them to take care of the children. Otherwise, Zhou's mother was a little worried about leaving Zhou Huimin to take care of the children while He Daqi was filming.

"Oh! Oh! We can ride the Ferris wheel again!"

"I want to ride the bumper cars!"

As soon as the two little ones got off the plane, they started jumping and skipping around in the airport terminal.

Zhou's mother held their hands, preventing the two mischievous boys from running around.

Zhou's mother had come here once before, but at that time the couple hadn't bought a house here; they were renting a villa. This time, after getting out of the car and entering the house, Zhou's mother saw that the living room was full of children's toys, and she knew that this house belonged to them.

Zhou's mother glared at Zhou Huimin and then stopped nagging her. There was no need to ask; she knew that this house was definitely her daughter's idea. Her son-in-law wouldn't be so extravagant as to buy a villa abroad that he wouldn't live in for long each year.

Zhou Huimin noticed her mother's gaze, and with a playful smile, she clung to He Daqi's arm and hid behind him. After her mother led the children upstairs, Zhou Huimin whispered to He Daqi, "What are we having for dinner tonight? The usual? Invite your confidante over for barbecue and drinks?"

"Don't talk nonsense, she's not a confidante."

"Oh! Still won't admit it? He Daqi, you have no guts! We've cooperated so many times, and now we're going to cooperate again? Aren't you going to invite them over for a chat?"

He Daqi was so jealous that he didn't want to talk to Zhou Huimin anymore. He tried to pull his arm away from Zhou Huimin's embrace but couldn't. Too lazy to argue with her, he simply grabbed his suitcase and dragged Zhou Huimin into the bedroom.

After entering the bedroom, the couple unpacked the clothes from their suitcases together. He Daqi then explained, "This time we're not working with Sun Yizhen. The female lead hasn't been decided yet. We're waiting for me to come and select the actress."

"Why do we need you to come and select people?" Zhou Huimin was taken aback.

For some reason, she suddenly glared at me, her voice rising several octaves: "Oh right, you've been talking about art films and explicit content, but you haven't told me about the plot yet! He Daqi! You've got some nerve! Don't tell me you're planning to make something like Lust, Caution! A Category III film, huh? Otherwise, why would I have you come here to choose the female lead?"

"Don't yell! What will it look like if the child hears this!" He Daqi quickly covered her mouth.

Before the door could even be closed, the couple started tearing at each other. Although they had both taken health-enhancing pills, the effects were different. Zhou Huimin was ultimately no match for He Daqi's strength, and she couldn't pull He Daqi's hand away after pulling for a long time.

She was also determined. She suddenly tilted her head back and, taking advantage of the gap in He Daqi's hand not following up, bit He Daqi's thumb. He Daqi hissed, but did not dare to shout loudly. He patted Zhou Huimin's arm to make her let go quickly.

"Stop biting, it's not what you think, it has nothing to do with porn. Let go now, and I'll explain."

"Humph!"

Zhou Huimin released her mouth and looked at He Daqi's grimacing face as he covered his hand. She couldn't help but glance at his thumb with a pained expression. She noticed that the bite mark wasn't deep and knew that He Daqi was faking it. So she glared at him and snorted.

At this moment, Zhou Huimin was thinking a lot. No wonder she didn't work with Sun Yizhen this time. It turned out there was a passionate scene. With such a good opportunity, given He Daqi's character, he would definitely choose the one with the bigger breasts.

I had a feeling something was off before, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Turns out, this was what was going on. I blame myself for letting my guard down. I always check the scripts that He Daqi takes on, but this time, I don't know if it's because He Daqi hasn't taken on a role in a long time or because I let my guard down, but I actually forgot to ask about the plot.
