After Pei Mingzhan posted Weibo, he didn't respond to the rumors on the Internet. He and Zhao Yao had a simple meal, and then the two discussed the live broadcast platform for a while.
"Yao Bai is probably still busy now, can you wear my pajamas?" Pei Mingzhan glanced at the time.
Zhao Yao used to stay overnight at the company, and occasionally returned to the apartment in the morning to freshen up. He didn't pay too much attention to these issues, "It's fine."
Just after eleven o'clock, the two ended their discussion.
After Zhao Yao came out of the shower, he was wearing Pei Mingzhan's pajamas, and he didn't wear his underwear, except that they were a little too big. Seeing that Pei Mingzhan was packing up the documents, he said again: "I wrote half of the plan documents, why don't you finish writing and then rest."
It's still early at eleven o'clock, and it's still some time before he goes to bed. Why don't you take advantage of this time to finish your writing.
Pei Mingzhan turned off his laptop, "Eleven o'clock is late enough, don't you feel tired after playing for so long during the day?"
Zhao Yao paused: "It's okay, I work and rest late, and I won't be able to adjust at half past one."
Although my sleep quality has improved recently, I don't feel sleepy until after twelve o'clock.
Pei Mingzhan led him to the guest bedroom, "It's better to go to bed early at night. It's more comfortable to lie down and close your eyes than to concentrate on reading documents."
After he finished speaking, he said: "I'll go get the quilt, you wait."
Zhao Yao stood at the door of the guest bedroom, watching Pei Mingzhan come out from another master bedroom with the quilt in his arms.
While making the bed, Pei Mingzhan said, "The weather is turning cold, some quilts have been sent for washing and have not been brought back, so you will use this bed first."
Zhao Yao: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."
There was also a small blanket in the guest bedroom which was adequate.
After finishing his work, Pei Mingzhan said, "Has your sleep quality improved recently? I heard from Yao Bai and the others that you still suffer from insomnia?"
Zhao Yao nodded: "It's much better."
"Then go to sleep." Pei Mingzhan said, "Or should I have a conversation with you?"
Zhao Yao paused, "That's not necessary."
After Pei Mingzhan left, Zhao Yao lay on the bed to rest. He thought that he would recognize the bed or take a long time to sleep, but he didn't expect that he would feel sleepy soon after touching the pillow and relaxing.
The pillows and sheets were all changed and washed, only the quilt that was just delivered had the faint smell of Pei Mingzhan's body.
The temperature in the guest bedroom is just right, and you can still see the city's lights that stay on all night outside the window. Zhao Yao half-closed his eyes and looked at the scenery outside the window, then closed his eyes a little bit, scrambling to climb up from the exhaustion all over his body.
Before falling asleep, he thought in a trance-
It's amazing that he didn't continue to think about it even though so many things happened today.
Pei Mingzhan took a shower after packing up the documents in the living room. He was worried that Zhao Yao would not sleep well at night, so he went to warm a cup of hot milk.
When he finished his work and went to the guest bedroom to check the situation, he found that Zhao Yao had fallen asleep.
He stood outside the guest bedroom and watched for a while, then closed the door lightly.
The screen of the mobile phone that was randomly thrown on the sofa was now on. He walked over to answer the phone and said, "Hello? Brother."
He lowered his voice a little: "I'm here, I just fell asleep, the things on the Internet are fine, I'll let someone deal with it."
The voice of the eldest brother of the Pei family came out on the phone: "Mom also saw it on the Internet, and told you to take Xiao Yao to the house some time to have a look. It has been many years since we saw each other."
Pei Mingzhan laughed: "I haven't seen you for so many years, why is she still thinking about these things. It will take a while to go back. Zhao Yao hasn't mentioned anything about my childhood to me now, and I probably don't remember it."
The eldest brother of the Pei family said again: "You two had such a good relationship when you were young, you should mention it to him."
"When I was a child, it happened when I was a child. Besides, the relationship between me and him is not based on the past when I was a child." Pei Mingzhan said: "I feel that the affairs of the Zhao family still have a little influence on him, and it is not the same as when I was a child. gone."
The eldest brother of the Pei family said: "There have been so many things in the Zhao family these years, and the aunt passed away early. This kind of family is not an ordinary family. Do you still expect him to follow you all day like when you were a child?"
Pei Mingzhan leaned slightly on the sofa: "Then don't think about it, he is also very cute now."

When Zhao Yao woke up, Pei Mingzhan had already prepared breakfast.
When he was washing up, he was a little surprised that he was able to fall asleep so quickly in a strange environment. This was a night he had never experienced since he was reborn. Since he told Pei Mingzhan that night, he gradually stopped thinking about the events of his previous life. It is undeniable that his mental state was greatly affected by the previous events, and too much thinking seriously affected his sleep state.
A lot of things happened yesterday, but he didn't worry about it before falling asleep, as if he knew that the gossip on the Internet was irrelevant, and the matter of the live broadcast platform still needs to be considered... All things don't require him to pay attention at this stage.
"I asked the driver to bring over a change of clothes." Zhao Yao said, "Do you have any arrangements for today?"
Pei Mingzhan: "Go to the company to deal with things. Gu Sui has something to go on a long trip. Let's go to his studio next time."
Zhao Yao nodded: "Alright."
After breakfast, Zhao Yao's driver came over. He took a shower and changed clothes, and then separated from Pei Mingzhan. On the way back, I noticed the rumors about "Li Meng" on the Internet, and Huihua suppressed the matter through public relations early in the morning, but some scattered rumors spread, mainly targeting Zhang Qi.
When Chen Xi signed Zhang Qi into Huihua, he had already had Zhang Qi's background checked. Most of the situation is similar to what Pei Mingzhan said to him. After the death of Zhang Qi's wife, he took his daughter to work hard outside alone, but he was suppressed by other people in the circle everywhere. And most of these people were instigated by Shiyang Film Industry after Zhang Qi's original contract company Dingfeng Culture, with the purpose of making Zhang Qi unable to get along in this circle.
Shiyang Films is considered a well-known big company in the industry. His boss is named Lin, and it is this boss Lin that Zhang Qi offended. In addition to having a hand in the circle, this person also has connections in other circles, so most people in the circle will give him a little face, and will not think about offending him.
Chen Xi had this consideration in the beginning. It is a trivial matter to have conflicts with Dingfeng Culture, but if he has a bad relationship with Shiyang Films, it will be more or less affected when it comes to film projects or webcast projects in the later stage, because it belongs to Shiyang Films The theaters and platforms under the name are also well-known platforms in the circle.
In this circle, perhaps the surnamed Lin did not speak out, but there are only a few people who have cleared obstacles for him.
Zhao Yao flipped through the documents sent by Yao Bai. Since Chen Xi didn't open his mouth to tell him about this matter, it meant that this matter was still within Chen Xi's expectations, so he didn't need to solve this matter.
In the eyes of those people, Zhang Qi is a dispensable person in the final analysis, at most it is a bit of an eyesore, but there is no conflict of interest.
But in the future, it may not be possible. The growth of Huihua will definitely touch the cake of some people, and the failure to achieve a win-win situation means that there will be conflicts. In the eyes of other people, it might be considered reckless to offend Shiyang Films for the sake of Zhang Qi, but judging from Huihua's current development plan, it is only a matter of time before they compete with Shiyang Films.
Sooner or later they have to fight each other, not to mention offending others for Zhang Qi, but to leave Zhang Qi with a hole card.

Huihua Culture moved very quickly. With the help of Pei Mingzhan's studio, the black hot search that just popped up yesterday was quickly resolved. At the same time as pressing the hot search, "Li Meng" also selected an auspicious day for the start-up, and made a few official announcements of the characters along with the headwind of the black hot search. play.
Chen Xi thought for a while after receiving the report: "They won't do too much about "Li Meng", but the main focus will be on Zhang Qi. Use it for publicity, but if it involves core issues, the best way is to clarify."
The secretary said: "The person in charge also said that the clarification plan will be prepared in advance. It's just that Mr. Chen, it was found out that someone from Dingfeng Culture was behind the incident yesterday. Should we deal with this matter?"
"Today there is Ding Feng, and tomorrow there will be other Ya Mo Zifeng coming out." Chen Xi has long been prepared for this, "After all, Zhang Qi was once a person who was hidden by the snow, and sooner or later he will be targeted by others when he plays the leading role. These are trivial matters, as long as Shiyang Films does not end, you can let the crew do it freely at other times."
The secretary nodded: "The invitation letter has been sent to the RH party next week. It's just..."
Chen Xi heard the words: "Just what?"
The secretary handed the invitation letter to Chen Xi, "We received two invitation letters, one from Huihua Culture, and the other with Mr. Zhao's name on it. Mr. Zhao was specially invited to the RH party."
Chen Xi was shocked: "Then the Great Demon King specially invited Mr. Zhao??"

Yao Bai was so busy that he was physically and mentally exhausted, and when he finally had time to rest, he suddenly found that his brother had been running towards Pei Mingzhan for the past few days. On this day, when he arrived at Zhao Yao's apartment with the invitation letter entrusted by Chen Xi, Zhao Yao was sitting on the sofa with the document to read it.
"Uncle Wang, my brother won't watch TV dramas today?" Yao Bai looked at the folders on the table in a daze.
Uncle Wang came over at this time, "Master just watched the update, the next episode will be in two days."
Yao Bai asked: "Are those documents sent by Department Chen?"
"It's not, Mr. Pei sent someone to deliver it." Uncle Wang said, "Master and Mr. Pei are discussing cooperation recently, and I will spare time to read the documents in the afternoon."
"Xiaobai is here?" Zhao Yao turned his head to look at him, "How is the matter with the project?"
Yao Bai just sat next to him. Somehow his brother was not worried about the crisis encountered by the project, but asked him from time to time what he had learned in dealing with the problem, as if the project "Li Meng" was just for him to practice. Yes, I don't care at all how much Huihua invested in it.
"Except for a few troubles a few days ago, everything has been resolved recently." Yao Bai briefly told Zhao Yao about Zhang Qi's being hacked, and how the project team dealt with the crisis. Yes, I came into contact with those scandals recently, and then I realized that he has had a hard time these years. His daughter's illness is not a serious illness, but the investment cost is very high. He took his daughter and spent a lot of money in the past two years. Now that my daughter has hired someone to take care of her, I am desperately trying to find my lines and feelings.”
"Looking for a feeling?" Zhao Yao was a little curious.
Yao Bai said: "The role of Su Liguang is too multifaceted. Although it requires a certain amount of experience, the things the character has experienced and the sense of reality still need to be adjusted. Two days before the photo shoot, Zhang Qi discussed it with Director Tang. One night, I went on a diet to find the feeling when I looked back, and went to the countryside to sit in the fields all night, and when I came back the next day, my whole person’s energy was different.”
When Zhao Yao heard this, he thought of Pei Mingzhan's high evaluation of Zhang Qi, so he said, "He is a very good actor."
"I can feel that he is under a lot of pressure." Yao Bai has been busy with the project recently, so he can naturally see Zhang Qi's efforts, "I hope he can perform well."
Zhao Yao turned over the file and paused, "Yao Bai, as one of the project leaders, you can't really think too much about the actors' feelings. It's not that it's not good to think about feelings, but you see a wider level than others. Actors focus on acting, and you are faced with all the problems encountered in this project from the beginning to the end. Everyone does their job well in their positions, but this is not enough, and 100% of the work may not be able to achieve 100% In the same way, you need to pay more for this.”
"I think you don't need to care about how Zhang Qi plays this role at all, because of his special experience, he will become very strict with himself. He is not a newcomer who has just entered the circle. He has played leading roles and supporting roles, and has also run There are many things that he can see in his eyes.” Zhao Yao lowered his eyes slightly and continued flipping through the documents, “Such a person will cherish the opportunity in front of him, because he understands that he has to go beyond the estimate to undertake this project. Otherwise, the public's label on him will not change, nor will their views on him change, and the enemy will have a better chance to kick him off the cliff. But this is not enough, a project is not carried by the leading actor, you behind the scenes The staff also have to work hard.”
"So if you really want to do a good job in this project, you have to spend more time and energy." Zhao Yao said simply: "Opportunities wait for no one, and students understand this truth, not to mention those of you who have experienced many things. grown ups."
After hearing this, Yao Bai had mixed feelings, "I understand, and I will urge other people to do other work well in the future."
He handed the invitation letter to Zhao Yao, "By the way, Brother Chen asked me to send you an invitation letter. It's strange to say that Huihua actually received two invitation letters, one of which was for you by name. "
Zhao Yao took the invitation letter, opened it and only glanced at it before closing it.
Yao Bai asked: "Brother, you don't seem surprised?"
"Because it's her, this is very similar to her style." Zhao Yao continued to look at the document, "Chen is busy with the press conference next week. Since there are two invitation letters, Huihua will probably send a high-level executive. You these few days Arrange the work and come with me next week."
Yao Bai nodded: "Do I need to prepare anything?"
"No, just take someone with you, don't be nervous." Zhao Yao continued to read the file, "Just play in the past."

Lu Zishi's phone was hung up by someone from the company again, and now even the vice president doesn't answer his call. The Internet has been calm for the past few days. When the news about Zhang Qi came out a few days ago, he wanted to add fuel to the fire, but he didn't expect that the marketing account that originally cooperated with the studio said that he had received news from the company and was not going to get involved in this matter.
Only now did Lu Zishi's agent get nervous. Originally, these marketing accounts would not refuse their request, and Lu Zishi's popularity is booming now, so the company should support them. Why did they suddenly change their minds at this time? He had no choice but to call the vice president. Unexpectedly, the vice president didn't answer the phone, and even those people in the company began to reject their requests.
The agent has some connections, but after careful inquiry, he found out that the boss at the head is showing off his power. Now all departments in the company have to report and deal with the matter of Lu Zishi's studio. Even the two resources that were originally to be connected have also been replaced by other second-tier stars. To be clear is not to give resources to Lu Zishi.
"What's going on here?" Lu Zishi dropped the phone, "I was talking about renewing the contract with me before, and now I'm starting to transfer our resources? I don't want to stay here anymore, and this company is not the only one that can stay. You call and ask the company that approached us before, and go to see the contract in two days."
This company engages them in this way, and also gives resources to others. Based on this, it is impossible to keep them. It's not that Lu Zishi can't find a new home.
The agent was looking for ways around, and just after making a phone call, he said with a gray face, "There is no other way."
Lu Zishi was shocked and said: "What can't be done? Didn't a company come to ask about it two days ago?"
The agent said: "I just called and they said we offended someone."
"Offend people?" Lu Zishi thought for a while but couldn't figure out why. His resources this year have always been smooth, and Mr. Wang has specially supported him. These big guys are also very careful when getting along, and it is absolutely impossible to offend them, "Did I make a mistake?"
The agent frowns: "There's no mistake. If you think about the attitude of the company and these people, it's obvious that they don't want to meddle in our business anymore. Think carefully about whether you have offended anyone recently. If you can't do it, call Call Mr. Wang and ask?"
Only then did Lu Zishi get nervous, "I'll call right away."
He took out his mobile phone and called Mr. Wang directly, and it took two calls before he got through. As soon as he got through, he heard Mr. Wang's obviously impatient tone on the other side.
Lu Zishi had no choice but to soften his voice and ask about this matter.
Mr. Wang said: "Xiao Lu, this matter is not easy to handle. You joined the navy to work on the crew of "Li Meng" a while ago, right?"
Lu Zishi should say: "But isn't the production team the same as Huihua's Xiaoqiongsan production team, what does it have to do with this matter?"
There was laughter from other people on the other end of the phone, Mr. Wang should be socializing.
Hearing Lu Zishi's question, Mr. Wang said: "This matter is not easy to handle. Since you know that it is the crew of Huihua Culture, then you should know who the boss of Huihua is now?"
"Nowadays, many companies are desperate to discuss cooperation with Huihua. You directly offend other people's film crew. Which company will take your order now? Being with you means that you will have trouble with Huihua." After a while, Mr. Wang Cai said: "The crew is a small crew, but the power behind it is not a small power. Do you know that the person in charge of Huihua is Zhao Yao. His ability is not as simple as the outside world says. The Zhao Group knows it? Its Xingchen The culture was packaged and given to Zhao Yao, and you said that Huihua wanted to mess with you, who would dare to help you?"
Lu Zishi was dumbfounded, what do you mean
Did Hui Hua directly say that he was going to fuck him just because of the crew of "Li Meng"
"Brother Wang, you have to help me with this matter. I really didn't know it would turn out like this." Lu Zishi said in a low voice, "Why don't I go and apologize to Mr. Zhao, this matter is really not what he thought, I..."
Mr. Wang smiled, "You have been with me for a while, and I can't help you with other things. I will take you to the party next week. As for whether this can be redeemed, it is up to you."
He finished and hung up the phone.
Lu Zishiwan was hit by a bolt from the blue sky, and he was stunned and did not speak.
The agent asked anxiously: "What does Mr. Wang say, is there a turning point in this matter?"
Lu Zishi said dejectedly, "We're done."
On the other side, Mr. Wang hung up the phone and said to the other person at the dinner table, "Mr. Lin, according to your instructions, let that idiot Lu Zishi go to the party."
The man known as Mr. Lin sat at the head, and there were other people toasting beside him.
Lin is always a man in his thirties, at this moment he is leisurely carrying peanuts, ignoring other people's flattery, when he heard Mr. Wang say this, he suddenly became interested, "Really? "

Zhao Yao followed Pei Mingzhan to Gu Sui's studio several times. The boss was not there, but other people in the studio were still making preparations dutifully. Zhao Yao went there a few times and then he didn't go. Gu Sui would not come back until a few days later, and he happened to be busy these days.
Knowing that he was going to RH, he not only asked Chen Xi to send the information, but also asked EV to check the status of RH in the past few years.
He knew too little about the things in this life, and even when he recalled the related things, the impression he stayed on was only a few years later. The current domestic market situation is in a turbulent stage. Some companies seem to be prosperous now, but in fact they will lose in two years.
RH has been solid, both now and in a few years.
Zhao Ruihong doesn't have many properties under her name. She has the ability to make a name for herself in the business circle, but she has no interest in taking risks. So her only focus these years has been on managing RH's overseas industry and reputation, and the domestic RH has also relied on this brand's international status to stand firm. Although it is not as good as those well-known brands that have been in operation for hundreds of years, it has a high position among new brands.
After reading the information sent by EV, Zhao Yao also had a general understanding of the situation of RH. These were minor problems, and the only problem fell on Zhao Ruihong. He didn't know what kind of attitude Zhao Ruihong had towards him in this period
If we talk about their previous relationship, they can still be regarded as a good sibling relationship, but when it comes to the last time in their last life, there is only a cold congratulations left in the relationship between the two of them.
"Brother, are you leaving?" Yao Bai had already made preparations, and with him was Huihua's director of fashion resources in name.
Zhao Yao, dressed in a low-key black suit, took the thermos from Uncle Wang, and after hearing a few words, he left the apartment.
The driver had been waiting downstairs, and Zhao Yao got into the car first.
The supervisor followed behind Yao Bai, and asked cautiously, "Mr. Zhao looks very calm, doesn't he?"
When I go out to a party, I still need to bring a thermos, just like his old man going out to play Tai Chi, and it looks unpredictable from a distance. He has been in the company for a while, and he usually meets Mr. Zhao at meetings, but Mr. Zhao rarely expresses his opinions. Most of the time, he lets them make up their own minds. This time, let him follow Mr. Zhao to the conference. Boss parties, somehow, have always had a weird feel to them.
Yao Bai still held a list of characters in his hand, so as to avoid not knowing people at the party, he patted the supervisor on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, Brother Yao said, let's play casually."
