Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

This is no small sum of money.

It cost a full 20,000 yuan.

This is much higher than her monthly internship salary.

Li Haoyu said with a smile, "It's the rule. We always give a red envelope as a token of appreciation when we invite new members to the group."

"Especially since you don't own a car yet, which is technically against the rules, it's only fair to give out more red envelopes."

Guan Juer couldn't help but say.

"Who made these unreasonable rules?"

"Sorry, I'm the one who set this rule. I'm the group admin."

Guan Juer: ...

"Ugh."

Guan Juer sighed and said, "Then I'll buy my own mountain bike later. Until then, I'd like to borrow your bike for a ride."

Li Haoyu immediately said, "Of course, no problem. It's just a coincidence that there's a cycling event going on recently. Let me take you along."

"If you try cycling yourself and still don't like it, then you can just leave the group yourself."

Guan Juer could only nod helplessly.

Li Haoyu smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this.

No matter how cunning a fox is, it can't outsmart a good hunter; Guan Juer finally fell into her own trap.

Most importantly, this is just the beginning.

Li Haoyu watched Guan Juer walking ahead with a limp.

His smile widened.

Guan Juer definitely can't take the subway anymore.

Li Haoyu said to Guan Juer, "Since you're already in this state, I'll give you a ride along the way."

Guan Juer originally wanted to refuse.

But Li Haoyu's next words left her speechless.

"You can't even walk in a straight line now, so I suggest you stop being stubborn. Besides, rush hour is coming soon, and you might not be able to find a suitable ride if you try to book one at the last minute."

Guan Juer heard Li Haoyu say this.

She thought about it and agreed.

"Then I'll go home, grab my bag, and head out."

Li Haoyu added a comment afterward.

"Go and call Qiu Yingying along, and warn her that if she makes me wait again, she's really in big trouble."

Guan Juer nodded.

"I'll tell her. She really needs to be given a little push, otherwise she'll be arriving at work on time every day tomorrow."

"Alright, then I won't go upstairs. I'll go get the car and wait for you downstairs."

Girls tend to be quite slow when it comes to tidying up.

Li Haoyu waited downstairs in his car, and picked up his phone during his free time:

The result showed several missed calls.

Li Haoyu glanced at the number and realized it was Andy calling him.

It seems Andy is actually a bit anxious this time, which is not in line with her unapproachable goddess image.

Li Haoyu pondered for a few seconds.

He dialed back immediately, and the call was answered quickly.

However, Andy's voice clearly sounded very tired, and even a little hoarse.

"Mr. Li, the new listing plan is ready. When would be a convenient time for us to meet?"

Li Haoyu asked directly, "How many sleepless nights did you stay up all night to come up with this plan?"

Andy answered decisively: "How much time it takes is not important, but I believe you will be satisfied with this plan."

Li Haoyu continued, "Okay, now that you say that, my expectations have increased a lot. I'll look forward to seeing how you perform on Monday."

"But why are you calling me so many times? Is it something urgent?"

"I just want to get a chance to present my proposal separately. I'm not the only one who's worked hard on this case."

Andy's answer was far beyond Li Haoyu's expectations.

He never expected that Andy would also know how to use connections.

If it were in her usual style, she would definitely believe that her solution is the best and that it would stand out even when competing with other companies.

How come you've lost even this much self-confidence?

Was it because I hurt her too much last time?

Li Haoyu did not answer Andy's request.

Andy on the other side did not make any further requests.

The two fell silent.

After a long silence, Li Haoyu spoke first: "Considering our personal relationship, this request is not unreasonable."

"However, this is business. I am not your neighbor or friend, but the chairman of Snail Games. I must be responsible for the company."

"Actually, it was already unfair of me to give you some preparation time before, and presenting a separate plan goes against my principles. So now I can give you a final answer: no."

Andy fell silent.

In fact, she wouldn't have even had such thoughts in the past.

But recently, Andy has been under too much pressure from different sources.

Especially after the higher-ups learned that Andy and Li Haoyu had a personal relationship.

They put pressure on Andy, either openly or covertly.

As for his own subordinates, they've barely slept in the last few days; you could count the hours on your fingers. Although they haven't said it outright, the longing in their eyes is even more potent than that of the higher-ups.

Andy hesitated for a long time before deciding whether or not to make the call.

She ultimately couldn't resist that yearning gaze.

However, she only plans to try it once.

So when she heard Li Haoyu reject her.

She actually felt relieved.

"This is my fault. Using back channels is very unprofessional, but I'm still confident in my solution. Let's discuss it again at the meeting on Monday."

Li Haoyu smiled upon hearing this.

Andy is Andy, and that's what makes him so interesting.

At that moment, a knocking sound came from outside the car window.

Li Haoyu recognized them as Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer.

He also said, "Then it's up to you. I have something to do now, so I'll hang up now."

Qiu Yingying was still more proactive.

She sat down directly next to Li Haoyu.

"Hey boss, I'm really sorry to have to hitch a ride with you to work."

Li Haoyu glanced at Qiu Yingying dismissively: "You seem completely taking it for granted. I can't even tell if I'm your boss or your driver."

It's true that you don't know the harm without comparison.

It seems Li Qianwen is a very competent secretary. However, something seems to have happened at home, so she has taken a few days off to go home.

This has resulted in Li Haoyu not being able to eat any homemade breakfasts for the past few days.

Although Qiu Yingying still helps her get food at the Snail Games cafeteria, the breakfast at Snail Games is quite good.

However, while the breakfast was delicious, it was still far inferior to the breakfasts that Li Qianwen made herself.

"I'm starting to regret hiring you as my assistant."

Li Haoyu sighed.

Qiu Yingying also knew that her performance was much worse than Li Qianwen's.

She didn't want to lose her job like this.

Qiu Yingying immediately begged for mercy in a pitiful manner.

"Boss, I will study hard, but you need to give me some time to adapt."

"Before Sister Qianwen left, she told me that she also started from knowing nothing, and it was under your wise guidance that she gradually grew up."

"Alright, but you don't have much time left."

Qiu Yingying immediately put on a pitiful look. "Boss, please don't! Just tell me what you're unhappy about. I'll definitely listen to your advice."

Li Haoyu ignored Qiu Yingying's attempt to gain sympathy.

He countered directly with, "Have I finished my schedule?"

Qiu Yingying didn't dare to delay and immediately took out her phone. "I've finished it and will send it to your phone now."

9:30-10:30, company routine meeting, manager meeting discussion.

10:30-11:30, financial report.

11:30-14:30, lunch break.

14:30-16:30, meeting with clients.

From 16:30 to 18:00, the itinerary will be decided by Li Haoyu.

18:00; Time to leave work.

Li Haoyu glanced at the itinerary.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Actually, apart from the two routine meetings in the morning, the afternoon is basically all free time.

The so-called clients and customized itineraries were just excuses Li Haoyu made up. After all, he was now the top decision-maker at Snail Games, and he couldn't just slack off and do nothing.

Therefore, proper packaging is still very necessary.

……

Guan Juer sat quietly in the back seat the whole time.

Even though Qiu Yingying and Li Haoyu were bickering like that.

She remained silent.

This made Li Haoyu wonder: Did I scare Guan Juer just now?

After all, she's a pure and innocent girl, so it's normal that she can't accept it right away.

However, Guan Juer was not at all like what Li Haoyu thought.

Instead, she started asking for help online, and even posted a message about it.

"I met a man who added me to a cycling group. He even gave out 20,000 yuan in red envelopes in the group and provided me with a road bike for free so that we could ride together."

"What should I do?"

Perhaps it's because Guan Juer's registration information indicates she's a girl.

This post already has many replies.

However, a significant number of posts were malicious and extremely aggressive.

Is it even necessary to say? If a man spends money on a woman, is it because he's after her body or her soul?

[I think the guy just admires you, maybe he's worried about his bike rusting and just wanted someone to ride it. Do you really believe that nonsense?]

[This man's intentions are obvious to everyone, don't you know what he's thinking? I think you're just posting this to brag about finding a rich man!]

However, there were many unreliable comments, but some people still stood on Guan Juer's side.

I really did give her a serious analysis.

Judging from your post seeking help, you are probably not very old and don't seem to have much aversion to men. This suggests that you likely don't dislike the place.

Since that's the case, I think you should calm down first. After all, the worst outcome is that you have to pay back the money out of your own pocket.

So there's nothing to worry about. You'll know what's going on once you go there yourself.

If you really like him, don't suppress your feelings. Just go for it! He seems like a really great guy...

Guan Juer put down her phone.

She had already made up her mind; listening to advice wouldn't change anything, and she still had to take control of her own destiny.

Those suggestions are no longer important.

Actually, she had already made up her mind when she posted the message. She wanted to try cycling and see what it felt like, regardless of what Li Haoyu thought.

She was fed up with being everyone's good girl.

This time, she decided to listen to her heart. This was an experience she had never had before. Instead of worrying about what might happen in the future, she decided to focus on the present and enjoy what was there.

Besides, Li Haoyu doesn't seem like a bad person.

…………

Soon, the three arrived at the Financial Building.

Li Haoyu went to park the car alone.

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying waited for Li Haoyu at the door.

The two stared at each other, both feeling a little bored.

They started chatting casually.

The conversation naturally turned to Li Haoyu.

Qiu Yingying spoke first: "Guan Guan, why don't you tell us about my new boss? Anyway, he can't hear us."

"Was he constantly manipulating me? He kept insulting me the whole way and didn't seem to care about me at all."

Guan Juer laughed, "I think he's actually a pretty good boss. We got to work so smoothly today thanks to him. Otherwise, we would have had to squeeze onto the subway for at least half an hour."

"oops!"

Qiu Yingying became increasingly annoyed as she listened, and rubbed her forehead in dissatisfaction.

"I can't even tell if he's my boss or yours. Why are you always taking his side? Have you forgotten the psychological damage he caused me?"

Guan Juer looked helpless: "I think you don't know how lucky you are. Not to mention that your salary and benefits are much better than before."

"At least you've been going to get off work on time these past few days. I've been working overtime until 10:30 every night lately, and unlike my colleagues who have family members to pick them up, I don't even have my own car."

"When I took the elevator to the first-floor lobby, it was completely empty except for me. I felt so miserable at that moment. Working overtime is so inhumane!"

"So what do you have to complain about?"

Qiu Yingying tilted her head.

"If that's what you're saying, then you're not wrong. He is indeed a good boss. In that case, I'll forgive him for his sharp tongue towards me in the car today."

"So, setting aside his status as a boss, what do you think of him as a person?"

Guan Juer closed her eyes and thought for a moment. The advice he had given her downstairs flashed through her mind, and she said, "Be confident, calm, and resolute."

"This person seems carefree on the surface, but he has an indescribable confidence, as if nothing can shake him."

"I've met many so-called successful people, including second-generation rich kids, first-generation entrepreneurs, and even accomplished businesspeople. But in terms of sheer presence, none of them can compare to him."

"None of them gave me that feeling. He truly has a spirit of 'I will go even if there are thousands of people against me.'"

"That's the shining point I see in him."

Qiu Yingying heard Guan Juer's evaluation.

"Your opinion of him is quite high; you wouldn't have already fallen for him, would you?"

Guan Juer tapped Qiu Yingying on the head.

"What the hell are you thinking? I've only met him two or three times, how could I have fallen for him so quickly?"

Qiu Yingying said with a regretful expression.

"I know it's unlikely, but if you become his girlfriend, I'll never be treated like a maid by him again."

Guan Juer glanced at Qiu Yingying

She said in a low, languid tone.

"You're dreaming. Instead of thinking about betraying your friends for personal gain, you should focus on improving your work skills."

Qiu Yingying chuckled.

"Guan Guan, why are you taking this so seriously?"

"I was just joking, why did you take it seriously?"
