Chen Xi hung up the phone. This was the tenth call he had received today. Some of them were insulting competitors in the past, and some came here specifically to inquire about the situation in an attempt to lower the price to buy shares from him. Huihua fell into a financial crisis due to a wrong decision. If it weren't for the difficulty in capital turnover, he would not have made such a decision.
"Mr. Chen." The secretary outside knocked on the door.
Chen Xi said: "Come in."
The secretary handed a document to Chen Xi, "This is the document you ordered me to prepare."
Chen Xi took it and glanced at it, his face became even more sad. Is it possible that he really wants to hand over Hui Hua? Thinking of the painstaking efforts he had put into it over the years, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became.
Seeing Chen Xi's sad face, the secretary knew that her boss might not be able to get along with other people. She thought about the phone call she received in the morning, and said cautiously: "By the way, boss, a strange call came just before the meeting. I left a message saying that I have something to look for you."
Chen Xi waved his hand, "If you want to lower the price, don't worry about it." He has answered too many of these calls recently, and he has ordered his secretary to ignore those calls to inquire about the situation.
"The phone number is from the city. When I called, it was different from the phone calls I used to inquire about the situation." The secretary handed a piece of A4 paper to Department Chen, "He left a contact number and hoped to talk to you about cooperation. He said His boss is named Zhao."
Chen Xi was a little surprised, "surnamed Zhao?" He looked at the phone number written on the paper.
The secretary nodded: "Yes, he hopes to talk to you face to face."

The backstage dressing room of a TV station.
The private dressing room was quiet, when the door suddenly opened, and the manager quickly walked towards the young man who was resting on the sofa, "Don't sleep, Lao Pei, I have something to do."
Pei Mingzhan opened his eyes and sat up straight: "So anxious?"
"I'm not in a hurry. Director Cheng contacted me just now, saying that his play is going to start next month, and I would like to ask you for a favor." The manager said, "I tried my best to reject your future jobs, but Cheng I need to discuss with you about the director's request."
When Pei Mingzhan first entered the entertainment industry, he was promoted by the process, and the relationship between the two has always been good. Although Director Cheng is not a great director, he has good contacts in the industry. He helped Pei Mingzhan a lot in the beginning. He has not directed a play for a few years, saying that there is a script that has been grinding. And Pei Mingzhan has been reducing his work and preparing to fade out of the entertainment circle during this period, and the things that should be pushed are almost pushed.
"There are not many roles, an online suspense drama. There are two old actors in the cast, and the rest are new actors. I heard that the quality of the script is good, but the overall team is not good." The agent showed the script and the investigation information to Pei Ming Zhan persuaded: "I know you have a good relationship with Cheng Dao, although we haven't had much contact in these years. Cheng Dao came to me, and he probably felt embarrassed to talk to you. What do you think?"
Director Cheng really likes to use new actors, if not for this, he would not have discovered Pei Mingzhan's talent at the beginning.
Pei Mingzhan took the script and looked at it twice, "Go ahead."
"In this case, you will have half a month to film next month." The agent was not surprised when he heard Pei Mingzhan say, "Is your company still busy?"
Pei Mingzhan's family background is not simple. Entering the entertainment industry to act is both a hobby and an accident. Now he has almost won the honors he deserves. He himself is willing to return to a normal life. On the one hand, he is ending his work in the industry, and on the other hand, he is taking over the family At the same time, I am also preparing for my own new company. In short, the schedule is full.
"Fortunately, let's finish the work here first." Pei Mingzhan flipped through the script, "By the way, how did you check the things I asked you a few days ago?"
The agent paused, "Are you talking about Zhao Yao?" He didn't know why Pei Mingzhan became interested in the Zhao family. The Pei family and the Zhao family didn't have much business communication, and the main industry is not here. He is from the border city, but ever since he met Zhao Sanshao under the Zhao's building that day, he suddenly became interested in this person.
Pei Mingzhan nodded: "What has he been doing recently?"
Agent: "Didn't it be rumored that Chairman Zhao was about to die before? The Zhao family has been fighting for property recently. I inquired about it. It's not a secret in the circle. The other day when we went to discuss the termination of the contract, we were having a meeting. Woolen cloth."
Pei Mingzhan closed the script, "He also wants to fight?"
"Zhao Yao? He doesn't fight." The agent was a little puzzled when he said this, and told Pei Mingzhan what he had inquired about: "Originally the most promising heirs of the Zhao family's property are the boss of the Zhao family and Zhao Yao. It is said that the two of them are having a quarrel. But I heard that when the meeting was held last week, Zhao Yao suddenly gave up and gave up the opportunity to Zhao Changshuo. Do you think it is strange?"
"It's not strange for him to do anything." Pei Mingzhan smiled, "And then, what is he doing now?"
"I heard that he has resigned. He seems to be recuperating at home recently. You saw him last time. His leg was caused by a car accident. He probably needs to take care of it for a month or two." The agent asked, "I'm curious." , you asked me to inquire about the details of his car accident, and asked me about Zhao's situation, and now you are still paying attention to his daily life. He is neither your competitor nor your partner... "
Thinking of Pei Mingzhan's sexual orientation, he suddenly realized: "No way, old Pei, is it possible that you want to chase someone?"
"What are you thinking about?" Pei Mingzhan tapped the script on the agent's leg, "I just knew each other before."
"If the two of you know you, can't you just ask?" The agent glanced at him, "It's like asking about a blind date."
Pei Mingzhan ignored him and said casually, "He probably doesn't remember me."
The agent was a little curious when he heard the words, and just about to ask a few questions, he heard the staff of the TV station outside calling for someone. Pei Mingzhan threw the script to the agent, took the coat brought by the assistant and walked out.

Chen Xi finally called the person. At first, the man who answered the phone was not Zhao, but an assistant, but after hearing that he wanted to find Mr. Zhao, he gave the phone to another person. The person who answered the phone sounded young, and Chen Xixin made an appointment with him for a meeting time and place with doubts, and now he was sitting at the appointed place waiting for someone.
The location was also decided by that Mr. Zhao, it is a famous club in S city.
Chen Xi came over early, checking the time from time to time, and waited until one minute before the appointed time before the waiter opened the door.
A man walked in pushing a wheelchair, and a young man with an outstanding appearance was sitting in the wheelchair.
Chen Xi hurriedly stood up and looked at the person in the wheelchair.
He has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he has never seen such a handsome guy or beauty. For the entertainment industry where the average person is well-dressed, the most indispensable thing is a beautiful skin. However, the person in front of him was only wearing simple casual clothes, and his face was a bit sick, but when his eyes swept over, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel his heart twitch.
With outstanding appearance and unrepeatable temperament, such good seedlings are not uncommon in the entertainment industry.
After looking at it, he suddenly came back to his senses, and asked a little uncertainly: "Mr. Zhao?"
"Hi, Mr. Chen, I'm Zhao Yao." The young man nodded in greeting.
Zhao Yao? Chen Xi heard the name was a little familiar, but he came over politely and shook hands with Zhao Yao, "Hello, Chen Xi."
The place of conversation was changed to the sofa in the meeting room. Before Zhao Yao could speak, Chen Xi asked something anxiously, "You said to discuss in person, this is our Huihua information." He handed the document to Zhao Yao .
Zhao Yao took it over and took a closer look. The important parts of Huihua were not mentioned in the document, but what was written on it was not much different from what Zhao Yao asked people to investigate before. It can be seen that Chen Xi came here this time with full sincerity. .
It is really difficult for Huihua to encounter this situation. First of all, it has a lot of resources under it. There are other companies in the circle waiting to see how Huihua can deal with it. solve. And Chen Xi didn't want to go to the last step, his first thought was to cooperate.
Yao Bai was waiting by the side. In fact, he didn't know why Zhao Yao was suddenly interested in Huihua, but during this period of time, there were too many unusual actions by his brother Yao. From this point of view, investment in the project was considered normal in a series of actions. of. Chen Xi on the opposite side was still chattering about Hui Hua's situation, while Yao Bai was thinking about how to properly invite that master to come to see Feng Shui so as not to be kicked out by Uncle Wang.
Everyone on the field had their own thoughts, Zhao Yao took a sip of coffee calmly.
He listened carefully to what Chen Xi said, and he could probably understand what his plan was. The capital injection cooperation fit Zhao Yao's idea. Huihua is a company with fair resources and a good reputation, and Chen Xi is a capable person. In the past, Zhao Yao might have waited for the opportunity to strike directly like other people who were eyeing behind the scenes, but based on his current opinion, he prefers to be the shopkeeper.
Chen Xi spoke dryly, but Zhao Yao on the opposite side didn't make any movement, and he felt a little lost all of a sudden.
It is true that under the current situation, he is on the side of the begging party, and the higher conditions will easily make others lose their patience. Chen Xi finally said: "We can discuss the specific cooperation."
Zhao Yao waited until Chen Xi had finished speaking, and then pushed the other side of the contract to Chen Xi, "You probably understand what you said, and you can understand your thoughts. These are the conditions and terms of cooperation we proposed. Mr. Chen may wish to take a look first." ?”
Chen Xi paused when he saw the contract, took it over and took a closer look, and found that the conditions here were not much different from the conditions he proposed, and it could even be said to be much better than he expected. He said in a slightly excited tone: "Mr. Zhao, I need to discuss with a lawyer."
"That's no problem." Zhao Yao said, "When Mr. Chen has made a decision, please contact me again."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xi expressed his inner doubts: "Can I ask Mr. Zhao why you want to invest in Huihua?"
Although Huihua is an established company, it still has a distance compared with other big companies in the current industry, and now that many artists in the company have left, there is actually no advantage in investing in Huihua, and it may even come to nothing. The young man in front of him didn't seem like a reckless person, and even had a maturity beyond his appearance. Chen Xi always felt that he handed over this contract after careful consideration.
Zhao Yao wasn't surprised by Chen Xi's inquiry, and he didn't beat around the bush, he said bluntly, "Mr. Chen, rather than cooperating with Huihua, I want to cooperate with you."
Cooperate with him
Chen Xi paused the hand holding the document, and looked at Zhao Yao in astonishment.
"Huihua is worthy of my investment, and you are a good partner." Zhao Yao smiled, "This is my sincerity."
