My wife is in my arms

Chapter 821 The Zhang Family (Three)

"..."

Lin Bao'er fell silent instantly. After a while, she said irritably, "Why would I avoid you?!"

You know the truth in your heart.

Zhang You replied with a smile.

Zhang You checked the time on his phone, then turned to the recording studio staff and said, "Jin Zhen's take was fine just now, there's no need to record it again." After saying that, Zhang You looked at Lin Bao'er and said, "It's 11:30, come on, treat me to dinner."

Why don't you treat me to a meal?!

Lin Bao'er rolled her eyes and said, "If you want to eat, go to the company cafeteria. I have a lot of things to take care of later."

"also"

Zhang You nodded in agreement.

After the two entered the elevator one after the other, Lin Bao'er asked again, "You still haven't said whether the online posts are true or false!?"

"it is true"

Zhang You rubbed his head and said, "So, Bao'er, I might need to borrow some more money from you this time. I don't need much, just lend me 100 million."

"No need to borrow, go be a mentor on 'The Voice of China'."

Lin Baoer said with a smile.

"Forget it"

Zhang You shook his head helplessly.

Lin Bao'er stared at Zhang You's face for a while, and seeing that he didn't look worried at all, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

When she learned about the situation from Song Lan this morning, she was also shocked. You know, when this guy gets into gambling... even her father was so scared that he didn't care about the relationship between his family and Uncle Zhang's family, and didn't dare to help him. He was afraid that if he tried to help him, the guy would get deeper and deeper into it.

Later, she thought it was unlikely, but she was still a little worried. The main reason was that this guy's ability was undeniable. If she really wanted to gamble, no matter how difficult the assigned song was, he could still find the time to participate.

Fortunately, this guy didn't gamble.

Otherwise, she would have to stay away from this guy.

"Slapping" isn't scary; what's scary is being "slapped" by a gambling addict.

Because people like that are capable of anything for money. If they really use a small photo to threaten her, she will have no choice but to obediently hand over the money, and then be repeatedly exploited by this guy.

Just as she thought of this, Lin Bao'er's fair face became slightly unnatural. Ever since she heard this guy sing "She", she had been thinking about this for no reason.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but it happened many times.

Lin Bao'er even felt that she might actually have some feelings for this guy. She guessed that it was only because he got married that the two of them might end up together.

Anyway, she had made an assumption: if this guy wasn't married and came to pursue her, Lin Bao'er found that she didn't seem to be opposed to it, but... it was impossible.

"It's best to avoid gambling altogether. Since you've quit, stay quit. This stuff is absolutely forbidden. Don't even mention you; even the wealthiest person can squander their fortune once they get involved in gambling."

Even though she now knows that the "Zhang" singer mentioned in the post is not Zhang You, Lin Bao'er still said a few more words.

The two went into the restaurant, got their food, and then sat down to eat together.

Just like usual.

Upon seeing Lin Bao'er appear, the staff members dining around the restaurant deliberately lowered their voices.

"Your wife isn't a mentor on 'The Voice of China,' are you really not going to be one either?!"

Lin Bao'er asked while eating.

"This morning, Cainiao Music Chairman Xu Zhonghua offered me a 150 million yuan appearance fee, which I refused."

Zhang You said with a smile.

"He!"

Lin Bao'er scoffed, saying, "Rookie Music is actually trying to ride the coattails of 'Special Voice' by plagiarizing it. It's really beneath an entertainment company to do something like this."

"I think the reason you can sit here and laugh at him is because of the confidence I gave you."

Zhang You joked, "Don't think I don't know. In the meeting a while ago, you asked the production department to change the rules of 'Special Voice,' saying that they should look at themselves first. Bao'er, you're being a bit reckless."

"roll"

Lin Bao'er couldn't help but laugh and scold. However, she also knew that Zhang You was telling the truth. If Zhang You hadn't brought up the idea of ​​"The Voice of China", she really planned to do the same as Rookie Music and upgrade and modify "Special Voice".

There's no way around it; this show has only aired a few episodes and the ratings are already so high, and that's not even the peak.

After a while, we'll see another surge.

As the head of EE-Media, Lin Bao'er has access to detailed information channels and knows that the second season of "Special Voice" has received more than 600 million yuan in advertising sponsorships alone.

They also earned a lot of money from TV broadcasts and online video views. It's worth noting that online videos have a 27-second hard-sell ad slot, and this alone brought in tens of millions for "Special Voice".

To avoid watching ads, one has to become a paid member, from which the production team gets a significant cut.

When the singing competition comes, this one episode alone will bring in a considerable amount of money. If this program were not produced by a TV station but by a listed entertainment company, doubling the stock price would be an easy thing.

Which entertainment company could sit still in the face of such a program?

However, since Zhang You's plan is highly feasible, and given the choice, she naturally prefers to save face. In order to speed up the progress of this project, the production department is frantically recruiting people.

Those who had already been recruited were sent to various cities for preliminary selections.

She estimated that at most a month would be needed to record the first episode of the first season of "The Voice of China." After thinking for a moment, Lin Bao'er asked, "The production budget for 'The Voice of China' has been finalized. When will your investment arrive?"

"Waiting for the revenue sharing from 'Love Letter' and 'She'."

Zhang You replied.

He simply doesn't have that much money on hand right now. The main problem is that he's taking too big a step. With one project after another being finalized, even if he's making money very quickly, he can't keep up with investing in so many projects.

"I'll cover the cost for you first. After we finish eating, come to my office to sign the joint investment agreement."

Lin Baoer spoke.

"it is good"

Zhang You responded.

Even if you have a very good relationship, it's best to sign a contract when it comes to collaboration. This can help avoid unnecessary disputes in the future. Both the actors in "The Truman Show" and "Goodbye Mr. Loser" signed contracts.

"Could you write another song for Ma Chu?!"

After a while, Lin Bao'er suddenly spoke up.

"No time, no inspiration."

Zhang You finished the last bite of his meal and replied while drinking the remaining half bowl of tomato and egg soup.

That's somewhat untrue.

Lin Bao'er laughed and said, "I think you still resent me for not taking your side last time. Don't deny it. Even if you didn't want to write it before, you wouldn't have refused so decisively."

"How did I refuse before!?"

Zhang asked curiously.

"You'll add money."

Lin Bao'er replied.

"Alright then! I'll write it, no problem, just give me twenty million."

Zhang You laughed.

Before Lin Bao'er could answer, Zhang You carried the empty plate to where the empty bowls were placed. Lin Bao'er's eyes flickered a few times. This guy was indeed testing the friendship between the two of them last time.

After hesitating slightly, Lin Bao'er placed the empty plate down and, after entering her private elevator with Zhang You, said, "I bought you a few fishing rods, hoping to salvage our friendship. Do you think it's possible?"

"What do you think!?"

Zhang You countered with a question, then laughed and said, "How about this, you let me hook a fishhook onto your clothes, and then you swim back and forth in the river... You should weigh about ninety pounds. I've never caught a fish that big before. Let me experience the weight of a ninety-pound fish in the water."

"..."

Lin Bao'er looked at Zhang You with surprise. After a while, she held up a little finger to Zhang You.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, she stepped out first, followed by an angry voice.

"I treat you as a friend, but you treat me like a water ghost. Don't even mention that I don't need to swim anymore. Even if I could, you can forget about it. This is even worse than 'slapping'."
