Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 156 When the people below are awesome, I'll appear even more awesome.
Upon receiving the development plan from Hu Weiwei, Chen Xiu did not immediately begin reviewing it.

He turned to look at Dilraba, who had a blank expression, and reached out to pull her back.

Reba hugged Chen Xiu and looked up, asking, "Brother Xiu, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I just need to start working now. Why don't you go back to your room and get some sleep?"

"I'll keep you company. If you want anything to eat or drink, just tell me. I can even give you a massage!"

Reba looked at Chen Xiu with a charming smile, feeling that being able to work with him like this was far better than going back to her room to sleep alone.

Hearing her say that, Chen Xiu didn't insist anymore, but just asked Reba to be as quiet as possible and not disturb her.

Reba had no choice but to obediently nod in agreement to this request.

In the quiet living room, the lights were as bright as day. Chen Xiu leaned back on the sofa, staring intently at the Mobike development plan on her phone. Her eyes moved back and forth as her fingers flipped through the pages at a fast pace.

Reba had already moved to the back of the sofa and was gently helping Chen Xiu relax her stiff shoulder and neck muscles.

Chen Xiu couldn't see or understand the densely packed, tiny print on her phone.

However, by observing Chen Xiu's expressionless face, which gradually relaxed, Reba could still guess that this so-called development plan was quite well done.

About 10 minutes later, just as Reba felt her fingers getting sore, numb and weak, Chen Xiu suddenly placed her hand on the back of her hand.

"I've finished reading. Aren't you tired?"

"Not tired……"

Even though her knuckles felt sore and numb, Reba still smiled and gave a negative answer.

However, Chen Xiu, who had been staying at home typing away at her keyboard to write scripts for the past three weeks, was well aware of the fatigue caused by overuse of her fingers.

Pulling Reba into his arms, Chen Xiu held her close, taking her slender, soft hand in his and gently pressing the muscles of her palm with his thumb.

Feeling Chen Xiu's gentleness, the girl, who had been harboring some resentment but dared not express it, felt a warm sensation in her chest.

Leaning her back against Chen Xiu's chest, feeling his heartbeat, Reba turned her head and kissed Chen Xiu on the cheek.

The strange sensation on her face made Chen Xiu look down at the hot bar in her arms.

"what happened?"

"Nothing much! I just wanted to kiss you."

With her eyes crinkling into crescents, and the light illuminating her delicate and sculpted face, Dilraba's simple contentment was vividly displayed.

Looking at the smiling face in front of her, Chen Xiu raised her hand and drew a line on the corner of her eyebrow that curved backward.

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, and I'll probably be gone for several days."

These words instantly froze the smile on Dilraba's face, and even the light in her eyes turned pitiful.

"So sudden?"

"Yes, my partner has made great progress, and I need to get back to my own work."

At this point, a thoughtful look suddenly flashed across Chen Xiu's eyes.

After a while, he reached for the phone he had just put down, and with his other arm around Reba, he called Wei Feng again.

Seeing that Chen Xiu was about to start talking about work again, Reba could only suppress her reluctance for the time being.

"Hey, Xiao Feng, are you asleep?"

"Not yet... Boss, is there any work to be assigned?"

"Well, I'm going to Shenzhen tomorrow to discuss some work. I'll probably be there for a few days. At the celebration banquet just now, I talked to Wu Jing about a movie project. He'll be bringing the project proposal to the company tomorrow. You'll be in charge of receiving him."

Hearing this, Reba finally understood why Chen Xiu was so happy tonight...

"She said she was happy because she saw me, huh, what a sweet talker!"

Muttering these words to herself, Reba frowned and pouted as she looked at Chen Xiu, and suddenly felt that it was good enough that he was willing to coax her.

Seeing the change in Reba's expression, Chen Xiu raised her hand and tapped the tip of her nose, then quickly began to explain to Wei Feng.

"I've already taken a preliminary look at Wu Jing's project. He said there's still a 10% investment share vacancy. Take a close look at the project proposal tomorrow and try to secure it!"

"Okay, I will read it carefully."

“I won’t be taking Da Xiong with me on this business trip. Let him stay by your side and observe and learn, just like last time. The company will have more projects this year, and he will have to try to be a producer.”

"Boss, then you won't have anyone to use?"

“Going to Shenzhen is no big deal. If Da Xiong can take on more work, I can just recruit new people.”

"Ok."

"Okay, that's all for now. You should get some rest."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiu turned to look at Reba, who seemed a little downcast.

Upon careful consideration, he understood the reason for this change.

"I've handed the film project over to Xiao Feng, but I'm handling the important people and things myself." "Hmm?"

Reba's eyes widened in surprise. She naturally included herself in the category of important people, and the slight grievance that had just arisen in her heart disappeared.

This rapid fluctuation of emotions also made Reba's mind exceptionally clear, allowing her to discover some puzzling aspects of what Chen Xiu was saying.

"Brother Xiu, since you think Wu Jing's film project is good, why not postpone your business trip by a day and handle it yourself?"

"Postponing it by one day isn't a big problem, but Xiao Feng is already very mature, so we can let him handle more things."

“But if Wei Feng were to do the work himself… I’m not saying he can’t, but he would definitely be more confident.”

Reba quickly clarified that her words actually concealed another hidden meaning: the longer Chen Xiu stayed, the longer she could spend with him.

“I used to have the same thought.”

Chen Xiu gave Reba her approval and continued, "Later I found that I had a lot of energy, and I needed to handle many things at the same time. At this time, it became very necessary to cultivate the people around me."

“Xiao Feng has been working with me for three years. I can trust his abilities and character. Even if something goes wrong and leads to bad results, I am capable of bearing the consequences.”

Upon hearing this, Reba hesitated for a moment, and then, with Chen Xiu's encouraging gaze, asked a new question.

"If things go wrong, wouldn't that be a wasted opportunity?"

"This is an opportunity cost, but if you want to train your subordinates, you have to take this risk. And..."

Chen Xiu stopped, flicked Reba's nose, and said, "Of course I can win the project if I personally take charge, but if I have to do everything myself, wouldn't that be too much work for me?"

"It's fine if the company is hard work, but if the people under me can't handle things when the company grows bigger, and I have to personally supervise every project and personally receive every person of every caliber, that's just too low-class. I might as well close the company down as soon as possible."

"laugh!"

Reba covered her mouth and chuckled, finding Chen Xiu's helpless remark somewhat amusing.

After laughing, she understood Chen Xiu's intention: "Brother Xiu, so you want to train Wei Feng and Xiong Ben to be capable people on their own?"

"Yeah! They're amazing. Even if I, as the boss, don't do anything, people will just think I'm more amazing!"

Chen Xiu leaned back, looking every bit the part of someone who wanted to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

He entrusted Wei Feng with handling the matter concerning the little fairy fan last time.

After all, given his status and position, it would be too low of him to personally contact the fairy's agent.

Even if you manage to accomplish something like this, you won't feel much sense of accomplishment. Instead, it will feel like a ridiculous situation where the big boss goes to great lengths for an elite monster.

Seeing Chen Xiu raise his chin, Reba leaned over and blew a breath into his ear.

"Brother Xiu, what time are you leaving for your business trip tomorrow?"

"Are you well rested?"

Chen Xiu's answer was irrelevant, but it was exactly the answer Reba wanted to hear.

She smiled and nodded with her eyes narrowed, and the next second, she felt herself being lifted up.

She gasped and hugged Chen Xiu's neck, then burst into laughter, kicking off the second half of the battle...

At the same time, in the chairman's office of Huayi Pictures.

Sitting on the sofa, sipping whiskey, Wang Zhongjun listened with great interest as Wang Zhonglei recounted his experiences at the victory celebration banquet.

After he finished speaking, Wang Zhongjun automatically ignored the sarcastic remarks made by Chen Xiu and instead gave some affirmation to these comments.

"I never expected this young man to have such a clear understanding of issues. In the past year, I have often felt that our initial 'de-cinematization' strategy was too radical, but I didn't know where the problem lay. Now I understand."

"Brother, you also think he's right?"

“Let’s stick to the facts! If Chen Xiu only belittles us, then his evaluation is not worth a second glance. But he still acknowledged our achievements, which is similar to Ma Yun’s evaluation.”

"So, we'll just leave it at that?"

Wang Zhonglei said with some frustration that as a Beijing native, he values ​​face the most.

Tonight he was publicly humiliated by Chen Xiu, and tomorrow the entire entertainment industry will know. If he does nothing, what will the big shots of his caliber think of him? Will the respect those artists who rely on Huayi for their livelihood lose?
These are the things that Wang Zhonglei really needs to consider!
Seeing his younger brother's indignant expression, Wang Zhongjun swirled his wine glass, frowning slightly as he pondered for a moment.

"You just said that before he went to find Chen Xiu, he was chatting with Wu Jing. What did they talk about? How did their conversation go?"

"I don't know the specifics of what they talked about, but judging from their expressions, they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation."

"Wu Jing has been busy with the sequel to 'Wolf Warrior' lately. If the conversation went well, then it means..."

"Is Chen Xiu planning to invest in his movie?"

Wang Zhonglei, understanding the implication, quickly answered.

Wang Zhongjun nodded with a smile: "We have no business dealings with Chen Xiu, and we can't do anything else. Since he's optimistic about Wu Jing's project, let's use this to teach the young man what rules are."

"Understood. I'll have someone contact Wu Jing first thing tomorrow morning!"
