Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

The male students working part-time at the studio started to exert their influence, simultaneously accusing others of being blind and using various provocations such as "Do you dare to look at the picture before you speak?"

As a result, more and more people copied the image address of the post and saw Fan Bingbing's makeup, and the public opinion gradually changed.

Naturally, some of the early active members of Tianya were also present.

Ning Caishen: "Fan Bingbing is so beautiful! She's both alluring and innocent."

Nalan Rongruo: "God of Wealth, your nearsightedness has worsened again. By the way, are you a henchman sent by Fan Bingbing?"

Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens: "cocoboy, check the IDs in the previous posts praising Fan Bingbing's beauty. I suspect this is an organized and premeditated act."

Lao Leng: "What's there to argue about in terms of subjective aesthetics? You like peonies, I like roses, and he likes Chinese roses. It's all perfectly normal. To insist on a unified aesthetic is dictatorship."

Ximen Da Guanren: "I vote for Fan Bingbing. Some people say that girls change a lot as they grow up, but it's not because of age. If you compare Fan Bingbing on TV with pictures, you can see that her eyebrows are looser and her eyes are more expressive. This can only mean one thing: she's no longer a virgin. So, who did it?"

Based on recent news, the answer is obvious: screenwriter Yang Che. Now I know why you're in the entertainment industry, damn it!!!

Azhu: "My lord is awesome! That word 'gan' is so apt, but I think Yanzi is beautiful. Those big, fluttering eyes make me surrender without even lifting a finger."

Baiyi Canggou: "Fan Bingbing's appearance and face shape are destined to be that of a leading lady, so no matter how you compare, she can't compare to Yanzi."

The ferry crossing was deserted: "My lord, I recently went on a blind date with a nice girl. I'll send you her picture; could you take a look?"

"........."

Just as Yang Che was about to say something, his phone rang. It was Fan Bingbing calling.

Little Fatty said in a low voice, "Brother, Sister Hua said there are thousands of people online discussing whether I or that other person is prettier. A reporter even called her to ask what's going on, haha."

Yang Che smiled and said, "There aren't thousands of people, probably just a few thousand posts, but it's definitely a hot topic online."

"Sister Hua asked me if I did it, haha. I said I didn't know, probably not. Then she said I was lucky, hehe. Bro, are your people that amazing?"

"Okay, I'm laughing so hard my teeth are about to fall out. My people just started it. The fact that it has become a topic of discussion is because people's spiritual world is too barren. They can just do something casually and it becomes a hot topic."

"Hey, cheer me up! Have you arrived yet?"

"I'm in the car, we'll be there soon."

"Oh, I'm hanging up now. Da Bing's calling me for lunch."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Che saw Xiao Zhou looking in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Hehe, Fan Bingbing is my girlfriend. That was the person who called just now."

Zhou, in his thirties, panicked slightly. He turned around while driving and said, "Huh? Oh. Mr. Yang, I... I didn't mean, I meant..."

Yang Che's face turned green, and he quickly grabbed the handrail: "Drive properly, I didn't say anything, besides, I asked you."

Xiao Zhou chuckled awkwardly twice: "I support Fan Bingbing, but I can't type. However, a colleague of mine commented in support."

Yang Che smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you on Xiao Fan's behalf."

"hehe."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Zhou suddenly said, "Um, Mr. Yang, I'd like to go to Beijing with you to develop my career, is that alright?"

Yang Che laughed heartily: "Why didn't you call before? Why did you have to meet in person to tell me?"

Xiao Zhou paused, then forced a smile: "I hadn't made up my mind yet. Uh... Mr. Yang, it wasn't an impulsive decision."

Yang Che nodded. He naturally appreciated Xiao Zhou. His brief interaction with him last time showed that Xiao Zhou was a meticulous and thoughtful person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that Xiao Zhou was suitable to be a producer.

"Sure, I'm short-staffed. Is your home okay?"

Xiao Zhou was a little excited: "No problem, I believe I can quickly gain a foothold by following General Manager Yang, and then I can take them over."

Yang Che was even more satisfied. It wasn't that Xiao Zhou said he was awesome, but that he thought about his family, which made them able to work together for a long time.

So Xiao Zhou got a name. He said his name was Zhou Liren, he was 32 years old, he served as a truck driver for 3 years in 85 and was discharged. He was assigned to work as a freight driver in a textile factory for 5 years. After being laid off, he drove long-distance transportation for 4 years. He earned a house and had a son. Then he went to work at a car rental company run by his comrade-in-arms and has been working there ever since.

That's how it was settled. However, Xiao Zhou won't be going to the capital with Yang Che tomorrow; he still needs to be settled first.

As we were talking, the car arrived at a restaurant near Confucius Temple called Lao Zhengxing.

When they were almost there, Xiao Zhou called Fan Xiaotian, so he was waiting for them at the restaurant entrance.

"Mr. Fan, you look much better than last time. It's true that good things come to those who are in high spirits."

"Hehe, congratulations! You must be tired from your journey. Please come in."

"Lao Zhengxing, an old shop!"

"Yes, authentic Nanjing cuisine."

It was indeed authentic. There were two dishes: stewed raw pork and eight-treasure gourd duck. Yang Che had only heard of them but never tasted them in his past and present lives. Fan Xiaotian said that these two dishes were reserved yesterday and could not be eaten on the day of the visit.

Yang Che couldn't wait to try the two expensive-looking dishes. The ingredients and cooking techniques were absolutely top-notch, and as for the taste...

Whether it was stewed raw eel or duck in Eight Treasure Gourd Duck, these were the lowest-grade high-end dishes he had ever eaten. They weren't actually bad, but the price made them seem unappetizing.

"Mr. Fan, is this really authentic?"

"It's authentic, don't you like it?"

Yang Che gave a thumbs up: "The crab roe tofu and stir-fried river shrimp are really good."

Fan Xiaotian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "It's not like I opened it. And even if I did, criticize me if you want, it's okay."

"We still have to consider the host's feelings; this isn't hypocrisy, it's just etiquette. By the way..."

As Yang Che spoke, he pulled out the agreement written on the plane from his back pocket: "President Fan, please forgive me for not having a computer while traveling."

"It's alright, what?"

Fan Xiaotian took it and slowly unfolded it. The regular script was neat and tidy, and it was very pleasing to the eye.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that Yang Che's personal investment of 200 million yuan was transferred to Doubao Media, with his shareholding changing from 25% to 20%.

Fan Xiaotian was deeply moved and ashamed, and said excitedly, "How can this be? How can an agreement that has already been signed be changed?"
