Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

Xie Jin felt like she was being watched by a tiger for a moment, and Old Liu's forced smile sent a chill down her spine.

Xie Jin appeared calm, but she was actually sweating under her shirt.

But the best thing about actors is that no matter what they think in their hearts, at least they can perform.

She can act out loving you, she can act out being very filial, and she can also act out being very composed in the present moment.

"Uncle Liu, what are you saying? I heard from Brother Hu that you are an outstanding entrepreneur and philanthropist in this city, and even a senior member of the Communist Party. I am very content to have a cup of your tea."

These words amused Mr. Liu.

He waved his hand dismissively and lit a cigarette.

"You're spouting nonsense, three parts human language and seven parts gibberish. Don't be nervous, I'm not trying to force you to do anything. This may be the area outside the Great Wall, but I'm not a bandit."

"I want my son to get into film and television investment; we can't have two generations risking their lives with knives. I am me, and he is him."

Xie Jin felt a little more at ease, and the sweat on her hands under the table gradually stopped.

"The capital is a turbulent place, and he's new to the industry. If you could give him some pointers or talk to him a bit to help him avoid being targeted by malicious people, I would be extremely grateful."

"Of course, if you have any concerns, I'll pay you back every penny. This is the end of our relationship; a forced relationship won't be happy."

Xie Jin remained silent for a while, and President Liu did not urge him.

To be honest, Xie Jin was really scared when she found XX in the armrest box that day.

But then again, even if that coal boss didn't have some tricks up his sleeve, he still managed to get into the industry, didn't he?

Having more financially secure friends who can stand by you through thick and thin might not be a bad thing.

Most importantly, even if I don't want to, at this moment, I am in a foreign land.

Do I have the right to refuse?

If you refuse, you're gambling on how magnanimous the other person is, or whether they'll hold a grudge.

If you lock yourself up first, then find a promiscuous woman and lock the two of you in a room.

If someone just accuses you of PC sex or rape and then calls the police, can you really explain yourself clearly?

"The film and television industry is a glass fishbowl; everyone lives under a magnifying glass, even the investors behind the scenes. Are you sure?"

Mr. Liu nodded without saying a word.

"Alright, Uncle Liu, I'm heading back to Beijing today, and tomorrow morning I'm flying to Taibei for the Golden Horse Awards. If you're not too busy after the New Year, you're welcome to visit Beijing. The tea at Vision Light Magic isn't great, but there's plenty of rock sugar."

Mr. Liu picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "Then let's go to Beijing as a family after the New Year. Second son, pack Xiao Jin's things."

Seeing Hu Yang bring Xie Jin down safely, Gu Renlong finally felt at ease.

He put his hands behind his back, afraid that Hu Yang would see that his hands were trembling.

Huang Bo smiled and stepped forward to chat with Hu Yang. Hu Yang opened the trunk and took out a small burlap bag.

"Everyone says that we coal miners like to carry money in sacks. This sack is something I found especially for you, so you can experience our local culture."

As he spoke, he stuffed the burlap sack into Huang Bo's arms; the 46 jin (approximately 28 catties) of banknotes were heavy.

Huang Bo glanced at Xie Jin and Gu Renlong, and Xie Jin nodded slightly.

"Aren't you going to thank Brother Hu Yang?"

Huang Bo then felt at ease and held the money securely.

Xie Jin chatted with Hu Yang along the way, then patted Gu Renlong, signaling him to be quiet.

Once they arrived at the airport and Hu Yang had left, leaving only their own group, Gu Renlong leaned over and asked, "What's this?"

"Tea stove........."

"Why did I give you this thing?"

"After the New Year, people came to our company for tea. Qingtan Mining wanted to try its hand in the film and television industry, so they asked us to test the waters."

He explained the matter in detail.

Gu Renlong breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death! I even called President Yu."

Old Gu was really scared just now. The artist was "invited away" by several big men outside the pass to talk to the boss.

His professional agent instincts were immediately triggered, and he made a phone call to Mr. Yu to exchange pleasantries, just to confirm that Yu Dong's phone was still connected.

.........

.........

"Thank goodness Mr. Liu talked to you. I was so relieved. I thought you'd been..."

"What? Why are you detaining me?"

Gu Renlong, in a moment of panic, lowered his voice even further: "Why not! Did you know that Lu Tianwang (a famous male celebrity) spent 00 million to perform in SY in 300?"

Xie Jin shook her head: "00 million in 300 was an astronomical price."

Gu Renlong slapped Xie Jin's thigh: "If it weren't for the 300 million, who would go to the Northeast? We were originally going to SY, but we were detained by another group as soon as we arrived in DL, and we had to do several more shows."

"SY's leader had Lu Tianwang snatched back, and the entire team was placed under house arrest. He himself was even beaten. Do you know how many people pleaded for him before they finally got him out?"

"That guy has a sweet tooth; he just ate iron peanuts this year."

"That's quite tempting..."

...........

Gu Renlong became more and more excited as he spoke, rambling on and on. Xie Jin had initially thought he was a domineering and elite CEO, but for some reason, he was starting to sound more and more like a mother hen.

He's so nagging, I don't know how his wife can stand him.

Xie Jin placed Lao Gu's hand on his own leg, wanting to pat himself down!

"The person Mr. Liu is talking about is not on the same level. One is afraid others won't know how ruthless he is, while the other is afraid others will smell the blood on him."

Gu Renlong thought for a moment and nodded vigorously: "So you have to take dealing with them even more seriously. We artists are glamorous in the eyes of the public, but in the eyes of some people, we're just so-so."

"Do you know how many shows TS had to perform at CC, how many times he got slapped, and how many people mediated before he was released? Xiao Qiang, Xu Q, Wei W—which of them hasn't been detained at CC?"

"TStm deserves it. He was a perfectly good singer, but he had to get a shrimp tattoo to cosplay as a thug. He also bullied others quite a bit. This is karma."

"Actually, you could argue that he's a perfectly normal rogue cosplay singer."

"........."

"Alright, it's all in the past. Stop scaring yourself. Pack your bags and go on a trip!"

The plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Silly Chun is oblivious to all the trivial matters that have happened these past two days; all she does is eat, sleep, and practice.

But Huang Bo and Shanzi weren't stupid; even though Gu Renlong didn't explain in detail, they had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

The two of them dragged Sha Chun along, and the three of them stayed by Lao Gu's side the whole time, sleeping directly in the cubicle outside Lao Gu's suite at night.

Old Gu was very satisfied with this. Regardless of whether they had any issues with their performance, at least they didn't let things down when problems arose.

.........

The labor costs for General Manager Liu have increased, so after discussing it with Xie Jin, Gu Renlong gave each of the three brothers a raise, contracting out tens of thousands of yuan worth of labor.

Gu Renlong then gave each of the three of them a red envelope to round it up, which meant he didn't punish them this time.

This business trip was the first time the three of them had earned the 100,000 yuan they had actually earned since they entered the industry.

This can be considered the first large sum of money in one's life.

Inside the car, Gu Renlong watched as Sha Chun chuckled as he counted the money over and over again. Old Gu, with a stern face, said, "Don't make money recklessly. Send most of it home and keep some for yourself."

"Don't worry, bro, I gave them all to my mom to save for me."
