A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Chapter 94 You play the media game, I'll use connections!

After finishing his call with Huang Ming, Gu Yun glanced at the time; it was only seven o'clock.

It was still early, and Wang Hailong was probably still asleep, so I didn't rush to find him.

Instead, she took a shower, changed into some decent clothes, and tidied up her things.

At 9:30, Gu Yun went downstairs to eat breakfast right on time, and ran into Wang Hailong in the cafeteria, who had just finished getting his breakfast and was about to eat.

"Hey, so early, bro."

Wang Hailong greeted Gu Yun: "Come on, let's eat together. Today is our last meal together."

"The contracts for 'Let's Go Now 3' have already been signed, Brother Wang. We'll have plenty of opportunities to have dinner together."

Gu Yun casually picked up a fried dough stick, grabbed a cup of soy milk, and sat down opposite Wang Hailong.

He dared to approach Wang Hailong for two reasons: firstly, because the two had a good relationship, and secondly, because the two would be collaborating on a future project.

If possible, Wang Hailong would definitely hope that Gu Yun gets better and better, and that he can bring more viewership to the show in the third season.

Instead of having a bad reputation and stagnating in the third tier.

"That's true!"

Wang Hailong stroked his smooth, bald patch and chuckled, "I'd completely forgotten about that. Hey, something on your mind today? You're only eating this little?"

When Gu Yun was filming "Let's Go Traveling Together", he often had breakfast with Wang Hailong. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to have such precise timing.

Wang Hailong also remembered Gu Yun's appetite; one fried dough stick was far from enough for him.

"Brother Wang, I won't hide it from you."

Gu Yun rubbed his face and said truthfully, "I'll get straight to the point, it's like this—"

Gu Yun explained the situation, then said helplessly, "I was forced into this situation. You know my personality; if I hadn't been forced into it, I wouldn't have done this."

"I was wondering why you ate so little today. Turns out you had something on your mind."

Wang Hailong pushed up his glasses and chuckled, "Return to you? Just call me that like before, why be so formal?"

Gu Yun had helped Wang Hailong a lot before, and Wang Hailong remembered it all.

Moreover, after spending time together, he had long since accepted Gu's younger brother.

Furthermore, Gu Yun was very tactful; he only asked me to help sound out the possibility of arranging a meal together, without forcing me to include him.

Given Wang Hailong's relationship with Zhao Qichen, getting information out of him shouldn't be too difficult.

"I'm familiar with Brother Zhao, but to be honest, I haven't had much contact with Director Deng."

Wang Hailong said, "I can get information, and I'll do my best regarding the dinner party, but as for this role, I probably can't help you much."

"That's enough!"

Gu Yun was very grateful to him!

Really, that's enough! It's already helped Gu Yun a lot!

"Okay, then wait for my news."

Wang Hailong thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a message by midnight at the latest tonight."

"Thanks, Brother Wang. Let's go out for a nice lunch today."

"Forget it, let's wait until this is settled before we talk about it. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat."

Wang Hailong laughed and scolded, "You, go ahead and do your own thing. Don't you have to control public opinion?"

"Okay, I'll remember this meal. I'll treat you later."

Gu Yun thanked Wang Hailong, saying he had been a great help this time.

After Gu Yun left, Wang Hailong immediately called Zhao Qichen: "Hey, Brother Zhao, congratulations! Qingqing's daily routine has wrapped up."

"Yes, at least we can finally rest for a while."

Zhao Qichen said lazily that he had slept in late today, which was rare for him.

"How about we grab a bite to eat together?"

"Sure, why not?"

Zhao Qichen shifted to a more comfortable position and laughed.

"Hey Zhao, I've seen a lot of noise about the drama 'Da Feng' online, what's going on?"

Wang Hailong asked casually, as if chatting about everyday matters.

"Don't even mention it, Brother Deng has had a lot of headaches because of this."

Zhao Qichen scratched his butt, looking speechless: "The two of them are fighting over the role, they both want it."

"Several people auditioned, and Brother Deng found the actor who was closest to the character, but some people were unhappy and hired online trolls to stir up trouble."

"You know, this whole thing is a mess. If you're not a big shot, you should just put up with it. Why did you have to make such a fuss?"

"The film is about to start shooting, and the public opinion is so great that Brother Deng is almost frantic with worry."

"This is outrageous!" Wang Hailong laughed and cursed. "Didn't Brother Deng think of replacing them? Are you just going to spoil them?"

"Change it? Where can I change it?"

Zhao Qichen complained, "Where are we going to find people who can perfectly match the original character's image all this time?"

"Besides, whether or not to change the actor isn't a decision that Brother Deng can make alone."

"It depends on what Brother Liu says."

"Sigh, this is quite a troublesome matter."

Wang Hailong didn't press further, instead saying, "How about we get together and invite Brother Deng out for a meal and a drink?"

"I can do it. As for Brother Deng, let me ask him first."

The phone hangs up.

Wang Hailong waited for about ten minutes before Zhao Qichen messaged him: "Okay, you decide the location, and I'll decide?"

"I decide!"

Wang Hailong smiled.

He arranged a dinner party for that evening, then immediately booked a plane ticket and set off for Yanjing.

He didn't call out to Gu Yun.

This was a gathering of the three of them, and it was also the first time he had a private meal with Deng Ke. Bringing a stranger along would easily hurt their feelings.

Back at the company, there wasn't much Gu Yun could actually do.

Huang Ming was busy hiring online trolls to stir up trouble and also had to help Gu Yun control the comments section.

Gu Yun could only wait for news.

During this time, Gu Yun received phone calls from Meng Ziyi and Wang Chu.

"This is outrageous! How could they do this? Being second-tier doesn't make them superior! It's disgusting!"

Meng Ziyi was furious and threatened to post on Weibo to support Gu Yun and criticize Zhang Xincheng, but Gu Yun persuaded her to stop.

"If you're feeling unwell, my phone is on 24/7, you can tell me~"

Wang Chu is very gentle, and she also wanted to speak up for Gu Yun, but the company wouldn't allow it.

Tian Xiwei called during dinner time.

"Gu Yun, are you alright?"

Xiao Tian looked at Gu Yun with worried eyes: "Where are you? I'm taking a plane to find you right now!"

"Don't come looking for me, it's okay. Just listen to your agent and keep auditioning. I've already found a solution."

"Really?" Oda's big eyes sparkled.

"Yes, really."

Given Tian Xiwei's personality, if Gu Yun hadn't said that, she really would have flown to find him.

"Once this is resolved, send me a message immediately! I'm looking forward to your good news, hehe~"

Before hanging up the phone, Xiaotian blew Gu Yun a kiss.

Gu Yun smiled knowingly, feeling much more at ease, as he watched the time approach midnight.

Waiting is agonizing!

at last!

At 11:53, Gu Yun received a call from Wang Hailong!
