The meal ended up being unpleasant. Director Xia was arrogant and Lai Yang couldn't afford to offend him. With Hu Zi's help, he apologized to him and drank two bottles of West Wind Sanshi Nian with him before finally sending him away.
When Lai Yang left the restaurant, it started to drizzle outside again. Lai Yang knew that the plum rain season in Shanghai was coming and rainy days would probably become the norm in the near future.
The rain and wind blew obliquely on him. He was like a paper man, unable to stand steadily. Hu Zi supported him and complained a little. He thought that there would be no problem with student employment in Laiyang, but he did not expect that there would be such a big loophole.
But... how to say this
Lai Yang has deeply experienced the saying "a leaf can block one's view".
When I was only thinking about going to school to train backup actors, cooperating with the school, and the things happening in Chengdu, I really forgot the most crucial link.
I was thinking of selecting the best candidates, but I didn't expect the school intended for everyone to be employed.
Li Dian also lacked communication with himself and was careless, which led to such serious consequences.
Laiyang is now in a dilemma. Director Xia just said that we can officially start the class in about a month.
Graduation season is coming soon, and he will have to find a job in more than two months. If he can't do it, no amount of money will be enough to compensate him.
But if we stop now, basically four hundred thousand will be wasted. Not to mention the money on our side, Lai Yang will not be able to explain to Song Wenyunlu!
Hu Zi left, and Lai Yang staggered along the street. He found a bench and sat down to smoke, letting the rain brush his face.
After a while, he called Li Dian and told him the situation. Li Dian was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh.
"First, find a way to give Song Wen and the others their money. That's their wedding money. We can't afford it if something goes wrong."
Even though he didn't say it, Lai Yang knew it.
"Also... there's a commercial performance going on. A bar will open in a few days near the Changji East Road subway station. But the price is not high. Do you think it's worth 8,000?"
"Yes, I can help you collect some money to pay the rent for the next six months."
Li Dian was stunned for a moment, and without asking how he communicated with Tian Jing, he just said okay.
When he was about to hang up the phone, Li Dian hissed a few times and asked again about Lai Yang’s current plan regarding the school.
"To be honest, my head is dizzy now and I really don't know what to do." Lai Yang rubbed his forehead.
"Have you been drinking?"
"Well... that guy drank two bottles of my Xifeng Thirty Year Old, scolded me, and finally peed the wine out. I get so mad just thinking about it!"
Li Dian sighed: "This is my fault. I should have been more careful. I'm sorry."
A few drops of rain just happened to extinguish Lai Yang's cigarette butt. He pinched the cigarette with his fingers and spoke in a slow voice.
"Why are you saying that? There's no need to be so polite. If you hadn't resolutely given me money back then, there wouldn't be the Deboxiao Club today, and I wouldn't have gone from having nothing to being... heavily in debt."
Li Dian was probably almost moved, but because of the last sentence, he was so angry that he rarely cursed him as a grandson.
Lai Yang laughed, and Li Dian also laughed.
Then he asked him to contact Qianying, as she would be taking a client to see a house on Huashan Road that evening and could bring him back on the way.
Lai Yang nodded, then called Qianying. Ten minutes later, a small mini car came breaking through the rain.
Qianying beeped twice, rolled down the window, waved at Laiyang, and shouted, imitating the voice in the chicken game.
“Get in the car!”
Lai Yang laughed and sat on the passenger seat. He suddenly felt that doing talk shows in the past two years was not actually a debt-ridden thing.
Although I didn’t make much money, I met several people who are worth making friends with.
Didn’t Du Yuesheng also say that others save money, but I save friendships. Money will eventually run out, but friendships will never run out.
Hmm... learn from the Emperor of Shanghai.
There was soothing music playing in the car, and Lai Yang was chatting with her.
Qianying is a very simple girl. She is not as straightforward as Yuan Shengda, nor as mysterious as Tian Jing. Everything about her is just like her oval face, full of innocence.
During the conversation, she learned about the difficulties in school-enterprise cooperation and actually asked whether Lai Yang needed investment
Lai Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Who will vote? We are in a precarious situation now."
"Hey, Master, just tell me if you want it or not. I recently met a big client who bought two houses at once. He said I looked like his sister and we had a good chat. He's in the investment business."
Laiyang's mouth slightly opened...
It's obvious that he wants to develop a lover because she's pretty, and he even says she's like a younger sister? Does she believe that
And if the other party really has the ability to buy two houses in Shanghai, would he have time to chat with Qianying
Maybe he is just the younger brother of the real owner of the house. There are many such pimps in Shanghai.
Lai Yang really didn't care about this, but unexpectedly, Qianying actually helped to arrange a dinner the next day. At noon, she drove to Lai Yang's community and took him directly to meet that person.
The location was in the "Wild" Italian restaurant next to Jiahui Plaza. Lai Yang was dragged there in a daze and had a brief acquaintance with this person.
The man's name is Gao Yunjian. He looks to be in his thirties, but he is actually in his early forties. He is quite manly, wearing a suit and his hair is parted in a European style.
After Lai Yang met the real person, he became much less wary of him.
Who knows, maybe he is a big shot who started from scratch and is very approachable.
Qianying chattered like a lark, introducing each other, and then Laiyang talked about the club and the prospects of the talk show.
Gao Yunjian was cutting steak with a frown on his face, and he hummed softly from time to time. After Lai Yang finished speaking, he spoke.
"Actually, Yingmei has told me everything you said."
Sakura sister... What an intimate name.
Lai Yang glanced at Qianying, and she was smiling brightly.
"To be honest, I'm quite interested in this kind of youth project. If it's convenient for you, can you tell me about your current income and expenditure, how much money you need, and what the rate of return is?"
Lai Yang was slightly stunned. He really didn't even have any financing plan, implementation plan, or payback period.
But faced with such an opportunity, Lai Yang didn't want to lose it.
Just as he was organizing his words, Gao Yunjian spoke again.
"Forget it, you don't have to go into too much detail. I heard that Yingmei is just a part-time worker at your place. How about this? You can get 20% of the shares. Name a price. I'll pay for it, but as for the shareholders... you can write us two."
Laiyang's face froze slightly...
Now he understood what this man was thinking.
In Shanghai, there are too many men who use money to support their mistresses, and even more women who fall into this sweet trap and become mistresses.
His apprentice Qianying has become his hunting target...
