King of People

Zhu Yilin didn't want Lu Jiachuan to worry about him, so he acted very relaxed, but he had his mobile phone with him all day - in the past, his mobile phone was handed over to Tan Xiaoqing for safekeeping.

Tan Xiaoqing didn't know what happened, and instinctively felt nervous about Zhu Yilin's abnormality.

She has developed a habit now, whenever Zhu Yilin is acting abnormal, she will observe Lu Jiachuan to see if Lu Jiachuan caused the problem.

But this time she was disappointed, Lu Jiachuan couldn't be more normal, and seemed to be very dull, turning a blind eye to Zhu Yilin's anxiety.

Can't he see it?

Tan Xiaoqing was a little confused. Just as she was secretly watching Lu Jiachuan, Lu Jiachuan noticed her eyes, looked over with smiling eyes, and stared at her for a few seconds.Tan Xiaoqing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away, not daring to look any further.

She thought about it, should she remind Zhu Yilin, "Your boyfriend is very green tea, you can do the same thing in person and the other behind you"?

But she didn't dare to say it, and she didn't know Lu Jiachuan very well, maybe he wasn't as bad as she thought, he was just playing tricks on her boyfriend and acting like a baby, it was for fun, and it was too immoral for her to say bad things like sowing discord.

Besides, she and Zhu Yilin are in an employment relationship, so she doesn't need to meddle in Zhu Yilin's private affairs, and she should avoid making trouble for herself.

Tan Xiaoqing retreated cowardly, Zhu Yilin and Lu Jiachuan were filming the last scene of the day.

Lu Jiachuan is different from Zhao Sitong, he is better at acting, and he and Zhu Yilin are real couples, they are free to act in intimate scenes, every scene is played over and over again, Cheng Jieshi praised Zhu Yilin for a long time and got tired of boasting, so to Mr. Zhu He took his superb acting skills for granted, so those compliments fell on Lu Jiachuan.

Cheng Jieshi half-sincerely and half-exaggeratedly said: "Young Master Lu, have you really never studied acting? You are such a genius, you are born to eat this bowl of rice!"

When Lu Jiachuan is in a good mood, he is easy to talk: "Is there any? It's okay, if Director Cheng thinks my acting is good, next time you ask Zhu Yilin to make a movie, remember to call me too."

Cheng Jieshi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to say that, and said jokingly: "You are filming with Big Star Zhu, and you can only play a supporting role for him, why bother? Don't delay."

"No need." Today's work was over, they walked back together, Lu Jiachuan had to lean on Zhu Yilin when walking, and chatted with him, "I'm on soft food, why do I want a male lead? Brother support me."

Zhu Yilin gave him a hand, "corrected" his lack of bones, and said to Cheng Jieshi: "Don't listen to his nonsense, if you have a suitable play, go to him, he can act."

Lu Jiachuan wanted to act like a spoiled child again, Zhu Yilin was in a bad mood and couldn't cooperate, let him poke and grope secretly, and went back to the hotel room with him.

The dinner was brought in by Tan Xiaoqing, Lu Jiachuan sat on the sofa and ate quietly, Zhu Yilin stood by the window and talked with Wen Xian on the phone.

Wen Xian said that the person at Hongfa who was in charge of communicating with her has now been transferred, and gave her the contact information of a new supervisor. She called to make an appointment to meet, but the attitude of the other party was good and polite, but he refused to continue with her. Talking, excuses one after another, doing Tai Chi non-stop, quite difficult.

Zhu Yilin frowned when she heard that, Wen Xian said: "I'm not stupid, isn't this obviously tricky, I can't get an appointment with him, I went around a few circles to find out what happened to Hongfa? No Ask if you don’t know, when I asked, an acquaintance couldn’t help but tell me, it seems that someone deliberately targeted you, Yilin.”

"For me?" Zhu Yilin was surprised.

Wen Xian said: "Think about it, have you offended someone recently?"

"..."

Zhu Yilin couldn't remember.

In fact, it is inevitable to offend people when you are outside. No one can do everything and please everyone.

Moreover, the resources in the film and television industry are limited, and those who work in his industry are very competitive with their peers. Zhu Yilin is a big fan, and there are too many people who are jealous of him. Even if he doesn't do anything, he is just a target. Countless people want to pull him off the horse, replace him, and share the meat in his hand.

But all this has nothing to do with Hongfa Group.

Hongfa's outside capital has always only looked at money. He is a well-known cash cow. Even if the new executives don't like him, they can't deny his commercial value.

A businessman values ​​profits and only assesses whether the value is worth investing in. Who would act impulsively?Most of the time, the partner signed the contract with a smile on his face, and scolded his mother behind his back. What would that affect?

Unless there is a serious personal grudge with him.

Zhu Yilin couldn't remember anymore.

He seldom deals with people in private. Those so-called competitors in the circle don't have that much energy, and they don't have the ability to trip him up. Apart from that, they have no enemies.

Wen Xian lowered her voice and said suddenly: "Since the collapse of the Lu family, there has been an undercurrent in the circle in recent months. Many small companies have been annexed. Follow those transactions to dig deeper. The holding companies behind them are all one after another. It is difficult to dig out the real behind-the-scenes capital... Outsiders say that Hongcheng's forces are quietly shuffling the cards, and you should be cautious when investing recently. I wonder if it has something to do with this?"

Zhu Yilin was silent for a while.

After all, he is a layman, most of the talent points are added to acting skills, and his business sense is not keen enough, but then again, what does this have to do with him?

Regardless of whether Hongcheng's surname is the former Lu or the current Zhao Qiansun Li, capital will always pursue profit, and he is "profit". This is the most basic truth, and Hongfa has no reason to target him.

Zhu Yilin couldn't take it anymore, and he didn't like looking at people's faces, since Hongfa didn't want to talk about it, then let's not talk about it, he hung up the phone and went back to the sofa.

Lu Jiachuan finished his meal and asked him, "Brother, aren't you hungry?"

Zhu Yilin couldn't eat it.

Lu Jiachuan was his brother's caring little padded jacket, he picked up the porridge bowl with his own hands, scooped up a spoonful and handed it to his mouth: "Take a couple of bites, don't worry, is the company's problem hard to solve?"

Zhu Yilin ate a few mouthfuls of Lu Jiachuan's hand, his expression was indifferent, maybe he didn't want to say it at first, but finally nodded to Lu Jiachuan honestly.

He is a person who hardly has violent mood swings, and "calmness" is his synonym.

But this does not mean that Zhu Yilin has no joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. His emotions are tied to the corners of his brows and eyes. When he is relaxed, he doesn’t look directly at people. He chats casually with people. His eyes freely look at everything around him, as if nothing is in his eyes. , calm and casual, people can't help but want to get close to him and smell his lips.

When he is in a bad mood, like now, his eyes will be very focused, concentrated on a certain point, the corners of his lips are tightly pursed, and the line of his jaw is tight. Too daring to approach.

But Lu Jiachuan is obviously not the kind of person who "dare not approach".

Zhu Yilin's eyes were very hostile, showing a trace of irritability, as if he stabbed anyone who dared to provoke him at this moment.However, Lu Jiachuan stepped on the blade to meet him, and suddenly pushed Zhu Yilin into the sofa.

Zhu Yilin was taken aback by his actions without warning: "Don't make trouble."

Lu Jiachuan was sticky and gibberish like brown sugar: "Brother, you seem to be crying."

Zhu Yilin laughed: "Where is it?"

"Yes." Lu Jiachuan said, "Don't be embarrassed, just tell me if you're sad, I know you're helpless, no one can help you, what are you going to do? Or just give up and leave the company alone No matter how tired so many people are? Power is pressure. If you worry about not having enough money to spend, I will work hard to make money to support you in the future, so you can rest assured to eat from me, okay?"

"...how do you say it? You seem to be expecting me to go bankrupt?"

Zhu Yilin glanced at him and pushed him away: "I have my solution, don't worry."

That being said, the current situation is that there are more problems than solutions.

Zhu Yilin didn't want to run into a wall with Hongfa again, and started to contact other investors.

He has to keep up during the day for filming, and at night he is exhausted, talking on the phone with all parties.But no one does charity, no one offered to help, and many people found that he was in crisis and wanted to take the opportunity to knock him out.

For example, an Internet giant, Huansheng Technology, recently started to get involved in film and television investment, took a fancy to Xingsong Entertainment, and wanted to discuss cooperation with Zhu Yilin, and asked him to win a movie contract.

Signing a VAM agreement is a commonly used financing method in the film and television industry. Zhu Yilin had this plan when he was looking for a solution, but generally the amount involved in a VAM contract is not too huge. vacancy.

Zhu Yilin counted and counted, but it was still not enough.

If Hongfa and his family were the only ones making trouble for him, it wouldn't be that difficult, but for some reason, there seems to be some bad news outside, and every partner came to make trouble for him, and the bank also came. Debt collection in advance.

There was even news on the Internet that "Zhu Yilin committed a crime and will be hidden in the snow", which made the fan circle panic. His fans didn't know what happened, and they wailed every day following the rumors, and refuted the rumors under his Weibo while crying.

Wen Xian also cried at every turn, and within half a month, Zhu Yilin suffered from a nervous breakdown due to her crying, and had to take sleeping pills with her, otherwise she would not sleep well at night and would not be able to shoot the scene well the next day.

Lu Jiachuan noticed Zhu Yilin's emotional changes.

He was happy to take the initiative to comfort Zhu Yilin, but Zhu Yilin didn't want his negative state to affect him, so he drove him back to the room and insisted on sleeping alone.

This should be the most difficult period for Zhu Yilin in the past few years. Accidents happened without warning, and troubles followed one after another. Besides being targeted at this time, Zhu Yilin himself did not believe it.

He didn't know who was behind the scenes, and what did the other party want to do?

If you want to force him to death, you should also show your face at this time to see how he is defeated, so that you can enjoy the thrill of victory, right?

But even if things have come to this, Zhu Yilin doesn't want to give up.

In fact, he does not have too far-reaching ambitions in terms of business. When he first started the company, his original intention was to make himself an independent actor, not easily restricted by others, have more initiative and choices, and would not be forced to shoot things he didn’t like. This is his bottom line.

Later, the company's rapid expansion was beyond his expectation.

But after working well for several years, now he was suddenly asked to give up, how could he be willing?

After thinking about it, Zhu Yilin decided to talk to Hongfa.

The other party refused to meet, so he should take the initiative to go there. Chinese people discuss business, and many problems turn around at the wine table.

After making up his mind, he asked Cheng Jieshi for a day off, took the high-speed train back to Hongcheng that night, and returned by plane the next afternoon—if all goes well.

Before leaving, Zhu Yilin changed his clothes in his room, and decided to inform Lu Jiachuan, so that he would not know and worry.

The door of Lu Jiachuan's room was tightly closed, Zhu Yilin knocked twice, but no one answered.Lu Jiachuan might be taking a shower, or he might not be in the room. He has a room card, so he decided to open the door and go in by himself.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, it’s only past six o’clock in the afternoon, and it’s already dark outside the window, so the indoor lights must be turned on.

Zhu Yilin's hand just touched the switch, and before he could press it, the bathroom door suddenly opened, a ray of light leaked from the narrow door, and at the same time, the sound of water and Lu Jiachuan's phone call came out.

I don't know who it is on the other side of the phone, and his tone is very bad: "I've said it hundreds of times, don't ask me! Are you guys working hard? Is it so difficult to deal with Zhu Yilin?! He wants to meet, you won't refuse ?—Smash face? Who allows you to show face to him? You have no other tricks, right? With such a high annual salary, I raise a waste like you? "

"..."

Zhu Yilin was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had gone to the wrong room.

But Lu Jiachuan's voice is so familiar, he will never hear it wrong——

"Still asking? You really don't have a brain! I want him to go bankrupt, or sell the company to me in desperation, do you understand?"

"Understood." With a snap, Zhu Yilin pressed the switch with a cold face, "It's so late, why don't you turn on the light?"

"..."

The bathroom door opened wide, and it took Lu Jiachuan a few seconds to come out.

He seemed to be choked by an invisible hand, and facing Zhu Yilin, he opened his mouth, but his voice disappeared out of thin air.
