Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

Chapter 158 "Mars Intelligence Agency"

"You're free? What's up? You want to treat me to dinner?" Lin Yu chuckled and looked up at Meng Ziyi.

Meng Ziyi blushed and said, "Well, this is my first film after all. Although there is no wrap party, I would still like to invite you to have a meal with me, senior."

"Just the two of us?" Lin Yu looked at her, raised an eyebrow, and asked.

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi hesitated slightly, but still nodded: "Um... senior, if you want to call someone, you can."

"Okay, then it'll be just the two of us. Send me the time and location on WeChat." Lin Yu shook his phone, but didn't linger any longer, turning and leaving.

Lin Yu accepted Meng Ziyi's invitation.

However, before that, he needs to talk to another person first.

"President Li," Lin Yu said with a smile, looking at the man sitting in front of him.

Li Wei waved his hand: "How can I still call you General Manager Li? I'm just the boss of a bankrupt company now."

...

..

"Hey, in my opinion, Mr. Li, you've just chosen the wrong direction for your business. Once you find the right direction, it's only a matter of time before you rise again," Lin Yu said with a smile.

Looking at the young man in his early twenties, Li Wei couldn't help but feel shocked.

He met Lin Yu once a few months ago, but at that time Lin Yu was just a nobody. "The Ferryman" had just aired and had gained some popularity, but it was only a success in the field of web dramas.

At that time, Lin Yu had already shown his desire to break away, but Li Wei was still focused on the short video field.

Although Lin Yu offered the most generous terms he could at the time, Li Wei still chose to refuse.

However, after that gathering, Lin Yu began to soar to great heights through "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

But Li Wei's company became increasingly lifeless.

It wasn't until the company officially declared bankruptcy that Li Wei accepted Lin Yu's invitation again.

"Choosing the wrong direction? What advice does Mr. Lin have?" Li Wei asked, taking a sip of tea.

Lin Yu chuckled. Ji Wei was noticeably calmer this time than last time, clearly indicating that he had been reflecting on himself during this period.

"I admit that short videos are indeed a huge trend right now, but ordinary people like us can't catch up with this trend."

He spoke, but Li Wei slowly fell silent. A few months ago, Lin Yu had said the same thing, and at the time he thought Lin Yu was just trying to poach him.

But now, his failure, along with those of other short video entrepreneurs, has proven something to some extent.

"So, what direction should we choose for starting a business?" Li Wei asked, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, said nothing, but casually took out a proposal from the bag next to him and handed it to the other party.

Li Wei frowned as he took the book, and opened it with suspicion, only to find a line of text.

Mars Intelligence Agency!

Li Wei's eyes sharpened, but he quickly began to peruse the proposal.

The more he looked, the more surprised he became.

He had actually considered starting his career in variety shows, not for any other reason than that "Running Man" provided him with inspiration.

But to be honest, that was just the beginning; he never expected that Lin Yu would have already surpassed him.

Based on his experience working at Hu Nan TV, this variety show project has a very high chance of becoming a hit!

At least, it's more practical than just sitting in my room daydreaming.

Thinking of this, Li Wei slowly put down the project plan, calmed himself down, and said calmly, "Phew, Mr. Lin, what's this?"

To be honest, this project is excellent and extremely complete.

However, it's absolutely impossible to get him to join Shuyu and become a high-level employee just based on this.

The reason is simple: he gave up his government job in order to start his own business!

Instead of becoming a high-level employee like a CEO or general manager.

Lin Yu looked at the other person and chuckled, "Mr. Li, would you be interested in starting another business?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's heart skipped a beat.

I left the room.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chaoyue, who was squatting at the door, quickly stood up.

Her legs went numb, and she collapsed onto Lin Yu.

..

..

Lin Yu quickly grabbed the girl's body, then swiftly put her arm around his neck to support her and help her stand up.

Once everything was settled, Yang Chaoyue gave Lin Yu an awkward smile: "Uh, my legs are a little numb from squatting for so long."

Lin Yu waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing. How are you feeling? If you're not feeling well, I can help you out."

Yang Chaoyue quickly shook her head. Her boss was a celebrity, and although their posture wasn't exactly ambiguous, it was still somewhat intimate.

If she were photographed by paparazzi on the street, she would be guilty of a terrible crime.

"Smack!" Thinking to herself, Yang Chaoyue quickly stomped her numb foot on the ground.

Then a piercing, tingling sensation made her expression change, and she almost collapsed again.

Lin Yu looked at him, smiled helplessly, and simply waved his hand: "Forget it, let's just go."

After Lin Yu left, Li Wei, sitting in the tea room, looked at the project plan in front of him but remained silent for a long time.

Lin Yu offered very generous terms, with Shu Yu Investment leading the investment of 20 million yuan, mainly for the production of the first season of "Mars Intelligence Agency".

As for the shares, Lin Yu holds 80% of the shares through Shuyu Investment, which is controlled by Lin Yu, while he, as the manager, holds 20%.

..

To be honest, this is quite a lot of money. Lin Yu also made it clear to Li Wei that what he valued from beginning to end was only Li Wei's resources, connections, and abilities.

With the resources he has invested, a 20% stake is definitely not a small amount.

After much deliberation, Li Wei finally agreed.

Lin Yu gave him a name to reference—Galaxy Cool Fish.

Li Wei was quite satisfied with the name; it suited his taste perfectly.

"Boss, are we really going to invest 20 million in him? Didn't his previous project fail?" Yang Chaoyue asked, sitting in the hotel room, her eyes glancing at the gap in Lin Yu's bathrobe from time to time.

Lin Yu, who was studying the script, waved his hand dismissively: "That's because he chose the wrong direction. What? He hasn't even started managing the household yet, and he's already worried about money?"

He smiled gently, but it made Yang Chaoyue blush deeply.

"What... I... I'm just worried that you don't have enough funds, and you won't be able to come up with the money later." She stammered slightly.

Lin Yu watched, then smiled gently, reached out, ran his fingers through her hair, and gently massaged her scalp...

Rou: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If all else fails, we'll just take on more guys."

Immediately, Yang Chaoyue felt a tingling, comfortable sensation spreading from her scalp downwards.

Suddenly startled, she shuddered all over, goosebumps rising on her skin.

"Um...I...I understand," Yang Chaoyue said blankly.

However, she mustered her strength and, with unwavering willpower, managed to free her small head from Lin Yu's hand.

As the sense of comfort vanished, a slight emptiness quietly arose in her heart.
