Du Xi had also experienced many ups and downs, so she smiled bitterly and said, "Why do I feel like I'm being used?"
Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "It should be said that they are using each other."
Seeing that Du Xi had made up her mind, Fang Zhicheng took the phone and called Qin Yuming. After explaining his intention, Qin Yuming was silent for a moment and said, "Zhicheng, I'm afraid we have to think carefully about this matter. Your idea is very good. If we use this event for marketing, the popularity of Yuming Artist Company will definitely be a big hit in the industry, and more artists will definitely come to join us later. But Du Xi is now banned by the media, and her price is too high, which is not something a small company like ours can afford."
Qin Yuming considered the issue from the perspective of an operator. She saw the benefits behind the contract, but was more concerned about the profits. In the past, even if Du Xi was signed at a high price, it would not be a problem, because she was a cash cow, and the company could survive well just by earning film remuneration and commissions. However, Du Xi was now in the midst of a public opinion storm, and it became a losing business.
Fang Zhicheng frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Or you can try another way, such as using shares as an inducement to get her to join the artist company."
Qin Yuming was slightly startled, and said with a smile: "You are too cunning. This is like giving her a blank check."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "No one can resist the temptation of a blank check. After all, she can go directly from an employee to a shareholder."
Qin Yuming pondered for a few seconds and said, "I need to discuss this matter with other senior executives, and then I will take the initiative to contact Du Xi. You are a good consultant and have once again come up with a good idea. The group company is now on a roadshow and needs some good news to open up the market. If Du Xi can join the group, with some clever operations, the stock will have a good opportunity in the adverse market."
Fang Zhicheng said with emotion: "Sister Ming, you are becoming more and more proficient in how to run a company."
Qin Yuming smiled and said, "Isn't it because you are a good teacher?"
Qin Yuming was telling the truth. Three years ago, Qin Yuming was a well-behaved female teacher, but now she has become a smart and wise business elite. Fang Zhicheng did not expect Qin Yuming to do so well. She is very good at cultivating the cohesion of employees. The senior management of Yuming Media Group rarely engages in intrigue and is very loyal to Qin Yuming. This may be due to her innate charm.
After the call, Fang Zhicheng walked back to the living room. Du Xi put her long white legs on the coffee table and ate melon seeds. Xie Yuxin took the initiative to ask, "How was the talk?"
Fang Zhicheng simply kept it a secret and said with a smile: "I don't know either. She said she needed to go back and discuss it with other managers. After all, this is a big deal and she can't make the decision alone."
Du Xi pursed his lips and said, "If you don't want to, forget it. I don't care about such a small company."
Du Xi is still as petty as ever, which is why the media banned her. Because she is independent and free and doesn't like being restricted, she often gives some media the cold shoulder, so once provoked, the media will work together to make the decision to ban her.
Fang Zhicheng didn't say much, but he could hear a little disappointment in Du Xi's tone. The big star who was once the center of attention suddenly became a dog-buried bun. It was like a senior official who suddenly lost his power. The helplessness and frustration can be imagined.
Chapter 0546 Living in the same house
Fang Zhicheng stayed at Xie Yuxin's house tonight. After taking a shower, Du Xi kept slapping her face as she passed by the guest room. Seeing that the door was closed, she pushed it open and entered the master bedroom. Xie Yuxin was looking through the script for tomorrow's host show under the lamp and said with a smile, "What would have happened if I hadn't come today?"
Xie Yuxin closed the script, glared at Xie Yuxin, and said unhappily: "What can happen? Nothing will happen."
Du Xi smiled strangely and said, "If nothing happens when a man and a woman are alone in the same room, it can only mean that there must be something wrong with one of you."
Xie Yuxin winked at Du Xi and spat, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't we still have Lele? Lele is grown up now and can understand everything you say. Don't say these things in front of her."
Lele was yawning beside her and said sleepily, "Mom, are the three of us sleeping in one room tonight? It's so crowded!"
The house that Xie Yuxin rented had two bedrooms and two living rooms, so there was only a master bedroom and a guest bedroom. Fang Zhicheng was the only man living alone in the room, so the other three had to squeeze into the master bedroom. Although the master bedroom had a 1.8-meter-long bed, it did seem a bit crowded for three people to sleep in one bed.
Xie Yuxin sighed helplessly and said, "Le Le, just make do with it. Uncle Fang will leave Qiong Jin tomorrow, and then there won't be a need for so many people to squeeze together."
Lele blinked, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said, "Mom, I have a suggestion. Can I sleep in the same bed with Uncle Fang? That way, we don't have to squeeze together."
Xie Yuxin hesitated for a moment and said, "This is not a good idea."
Du Xi yawned and said, "What's wrong with that? Lele is still a child. Are you afraid that something might happen if he sleeps with him? I don't want so many people to sleep in one bed. How about this, Lele, go next door and knock on Uncle Fang's door to see if he is willing."
Xie Yuxin thought to herself that Du Xi was really outspoken. Fang Zhicheng treated Lele like his own daughter. There was nothing wrong with letting him sleep with Lele. However, Xie Yuxin always felt that she should treat Fang Zhicheng well. Her daughter had no sleeping rules and often cried and made a fuss. Fang Zhicheng had to get up early tomorrow to go back to work. It would be bad if it affected his rest.
Seeing that Du Xi agreed with her idea, Lele no longer cared whether her mother agreed or not. She skipped and knocked on the door of the guest room and shouted, "Uncle Fang, open the door quickly." Fang Zhicheng had just taken off his coat and heard Lele calling him in a baby voice outside. He didn't care about the bad influence and went straight to open the door.
"Uncle Fang, can I sleep with you at night?" Lele asked with a sweet smile.
Fang Zhicheng certainly wouldn't reject the lovely Lele. He stroked her hair and said with a smile, "Of course no problem, but does your mother agree?"
"My godmother agreed." Lele answered the question irrelevantly.
Fang Zhicheng was speechless. At this time, Xie Yuxin had already walked out of the master bedroom. She was wearing a pink silk pajamas, her hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her pretty face had a touch of purity because she had removed her makeup. Because she was not wearing underwear, her chest was bulging like a cone. He couldn't help but glance at her subconsciously. As for Xie Yuxin, she didn't care and said to Fang Zhicheng calmly, "Lele, is it okay for me to sleep in the same room with you?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "No problem, just leave it to me."
Xie Yuxin didn't say much, just looked at him deeply, and then walked back to the master bedroom. Fang Zhicheng sighed secretly, feeling itchy in his heart. At this time, Lele took Fang Zhicheng's hand and walked into the guest room. Lying in the same quilt, Lele was like a soft toy. Fang Zhicheng had no distractions and was full of love for Lele.
The feelings are mutual. Lele regards Fang Zhicheng as her father, and Fang Zhicheng also regards Lele as his daughter.
In the middle of the night, Xie Yuxin went to the bathroom. When she passed by the guest room, she gently pushed open the door. After she walked in, she saw Lele sleeping inside. She leaned over, gently pulled the corner of the quilt through Fang Zhicheng, and stuffed Lele's exposed arm into it. Then, she subconsciously glanced at Fang Zhicheng, only to see that he was breathing evenly and sleeping peacefully.
Xie Yuxin was distracted and actually reached out to touch Fang Zhicheng's face. At this time, Fang Zhicheng suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Xie Yuxin's soft hand. Xie Yuxin was startled and almost lost her voice. She quickly covered her mouth. Fang Zhicheng was also awakened by Xie Yuxin. When he reacted, he smiled bitterly and whispered, "It turned out to be you."
Xie Yuxin pulled her hand back and explained in a low voice: "Le Le is restless when she sleeps, I'll check on her to prevent her from getting cold. It's very cold at night now."
Fang Zhicheng smiled unhappily and said, "It's fine if you take care of Lele, but why do you take care of me? Do you really think of me as your child? Should I say thank you, mom?"
Xie Yuxin thought to herself that it was a good thing that she didn't turn on the light. Her face was flushed as if it was dripping with blood. She collected her thoughts and spat, "Don't talk nonsense. Go back to sleep. I won't disturb you."
Fang Zhicheng's mind was moved, and his mind was distracted. Xie Yuxin entered the room in the middle of the night. This hint was too obvious. He had known Xie Yuxin for a year or two, and his affection for Xie Yuxin had already taken root. Xie Yuxin was a strong and resilient woman, with the shadow of his mother. Fang Zhicheng never denied that he had a good impression of Xie Yuxin.
Fang Zhicheng originally thought that this kind of emotion was similar to that of friends or family, but when in a dark environment, the emotion began to change and spread to the whole body, causing the body to secrete an excited emotion. So he boldly hugged Xie Yuxin's waist and pulled her hard, and Xie Yuxin suddenly lost her balance and leaned against Fang Zhicheng.
Their faces were only a few centimeters apart, and the dark space suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing, which rose and fell one after another, like plucking the strings of a guitar, and soon rose and fell in tacit harmony.
"What are you doing!" Xie Yuxin twisted her body. Because Lele was right next to her, she was afraid of waking her up, so she tried to control her movements.
