Inertia Dependence of Rebirth

As soon as Duan Ling came to the company, he received a piece of bad news.GT Group and Huaying Media, which were originally members of the film investors, suddenly withdrew their capital.Due to the cancellation of the two parties, Duan Ling's film in production suddenly lost nearly one-sixth of the budget. The plan had to be cancelled.

The secretary showed Duan Ling the divestment notice sent by GT Group and Huaying Media. Duan Ling read it carefully. Literally, it was only in a polite and perfunctory tone. The reasons for the divestment all claimed that the company had difficulty in cash flow.The investment of more than one billion yuan was withdrawn just like that. This weight is too heavy. No matter how much you can reduce the budget cost of film production, it will not work. The only way is to find investors again.

Duan Ling put the divestment notice aside after reading it, and began to think about which other companies might be willing to invest.He took out the roster of long-term cooperation companies and began to screen, first selecting six potential investors for cooperation.Then, Duan Ling's itinerary for the whole afternoon was to talk to the heads of these companies one by one.

Duan Ling reckoned that at least three of these six companies would agree to cooperate, but after Duan Ling ran around all afternoon, those companies declined his request for various reasons. In the end, only one company agreed to contribute, and the investment amount was Only [-] million.Duan Ling's first reaction was: Shen Kuang is playing tricks.

He tentatively asked the person he was negotiating with, "Is it because someone is putting pressure on you that your company is afraid to cooperate with us?"

The supervisor replied: "President Duan, that's not the case."

Duan Ling asked, "Then, can you tell me the reason?"

The supervisor looked embarrassed, "This..."

Duan Ling continued: "It must be because our company is not doing well enough, so I hope you can point it out, don't worry about it."

"SY is very capable, we all know it, but..."

Duan Lingchao nodded slightly to the supervisor to signal him to continue talking.

"Mr. Duan, I would like to ask, is there something wrong with masturbation? It seems that the control over artists is not tight enough, the brothers and sisters are very loose and indulgent, and even... there are many addicts?"

Duan Ling narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "Who did you listen to this kind of false news?"

"Fake?"

"It must be false." Duan Ling replied earnestly, "First of all, I have never heard of this. Second, masturbation's reputation has always been good for all to see, and we have almost no negative news."

"It is true that there is no negative news," the supervisor replied in a low voice, "so this is considered gossip, and no news has been exposed. However, many people in the news circle already know about it, and they said that you suppressed the negative news. Yes. Presumably...Mr. Duan also encountered a lot of obstacles in finding investors this time, right?"

Duan Ling asked again: "Who misreported this news?"

The supervisor shook his head, "I don't know who spread the gossip, but there is a video circulating. It's an artist under your company... Uh, not a very good video..."

"An artist under my umbrella? A video?" Duan Ling's face darkened, as if he had grasped an important clue, he followed up and asked, "What kind of video is it? Can I watch it?"

The supervisor was surprised, "Mr. Duan, don't you know? That belongs to your company..."

Duan Ling only said: "Let me see."

In the end, the other party agreed to Duan Ling's request. Duan Ling's heart skipped a beat the first time he saw the video.

The content of the video is that several well-known actors of SY violated the rules for drinking and driving when they returned home at night. They were stopped by the police at the intersection in the middle of the night, and all of them were captured by surveillance cameras.And it's not just drunk driving, the intercepting police also suspected that the actors had smoked marijuana and asked them to undergo urine tests, including Bai Yuze.

This incident happened before Duan Ling was reborn, because during the period before, Duan Ling was quite decadent, the company staff was loose, artists were also opportunistic or indulgent, and the internal unspoken rules were once very rampant.Other companies in the same industry took the opportunity to suppress, and a reporter took this video.It's just that Duan Ling suppressed it later, and no one dared to post it, and the urine tests of the actors with Bai Yuze were normal and did not smoke marijuana, so there was no follow-up evidence.This matter is over.

Therefore, after being reborn, the first thing Duan Ling did in the company was to tighten up his work style.Entertainment companies are inherently exaggerated, and once they relax, everyone will be loose.So Duan Ling changed the work discipline to be more stringent, in order to make all employees adapt to this serious model.At the same time, in order to give Bai Yuze a warning, Duan Ling did not let him participate in this filming.And Duan Ling also made the worst plan. At worst, the video was released and the company was attacked by public opinion, but Bai Yuze was the one who suffered the most. Therefore, Duan Ling didn't use Bai Yuze very much for the time being, and left him alone. On the one hand, in order to avoid possible influence from him.But it's not easy to say these words to Bai Yuzeming, so as not to cause grievances.As the manager of the company, Duan Ling naturally has his own considerations, and must maximize the company's interests as the ultimate goal.

Duan Ling was really worried about another aspect.As a reborn person, he knew the follow-up development of many things in advance, so in order to avoid future troubles, he directly negotiated with the reporter and took away the master tape of the video.At that time, Duan Ling had repeatedly confirmed that the master tapes that served as the only evidence were all in his own hands, and he had not given any handle to other companies.Moreover, SY has never had any negative news or turmoil.Other companies in the same industry simply cannot shake it.

This time, someone stole the master tape, but there was no press release.If that was the case, Duan Ling would be much easier to deal with.Solemnly hold a press conference to apologize to the public, and participate in more public welfare and charity activities, and persist for a period of time to restore a good image.The person who stole the master tape also seemed to have guessed this, so he chose to release gossip secretly and in the circle, using this video to one-sidedly frame most of SY's artists with style problems, and even gathered people to take drugs.Use this despicable little trick to encourage investors to withdraw their funds and hinder the filming of the film.Duan Ling can't take the initiative to release the video that damages the company's image just because of this small trouble, can he?

Sending someone to steal the mother tape, this kind of petty but despicable trick made Duan Ling immediately think of one person, Cheng Ziyi.

Running around all afternoon was not all fruitless, at least [-] million investment was obtained and the culprit was found out.

Duan Ling raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, and said in his heart: Cheng Ziyi, you don't see enough of playing such small tricks in front of me.

"Mr. Duan, should we go back to the company now or go somewhere else?" the driver asked.

Duan Ling straightened the neckline of his suit and said in a deep voice, "Go to Cheng Zhai."

When Duan Ling arrived at Cheng Zhai, the housekeeper immediately greeted him with a smile and led the way when he heard his surname Duan.

As soon as he entered the living room, Duan Ling sat down on the sofa by himself, and the servant immediately brought him a cup of tea.

The butler said, "Young Master Duan, can you wait a little longer? My young master is talking to a guest in the study upstairs, and he will come down after the talk."

Hearing this, Duan Ling said: "You'd better go upstairs and call him down, I have something important to tell him, don't delay."

The housekeeper hesitated and said, "But, this is not very good...Master Duan, can you wait for a while?"

"OK then."

The housekeeper thought Duan Ling promised to wait obediently, but Duan Ling stood up directly, turned around and left.

"Then I'll come again next time."

"Hey, young master Duan, please don't leave. My young master has been looking forward to your coming." The butler was impatient now, so he had to say, "Young master Duan, please sit down quickly. I'll go and urge the young master to come down!"

Duan Ling calmly sat back down again.

Two minutes later, Cheng Ziyi hurried down, glared at the butler as he walked, and cursed something in a low voice.

Cheng Ziyi sat across from Duan Ling and said, "You're finally here..." The tone was teasing, with a smile on his face.

Duan Ling turned the cup in front of him without raising his head, and said, "Give it back to me."

Cheng Ziyi was taken aback, "...what?!"

"I'm here to get back the master tape."

Cheng Ziyi smiled and covered it up: "What master tape? Besides, why do I have it here?"

"It's the video of the masturbation artist drinking and driving and being suspected of taking drugs!"

Cheng Ziyi was taken aback by Duan Ling's suddenly raised voice, and then he came to his senses and replied, "Don't worry, I don't have that kind of video, and I won't threaten your company or you. However, if Something bad really happened to SY, I will definitely help to the end."

Duan Ling sarcastically said: "Isn't that what your purpose is, you want me to ask for your help?"

Cheng Ziyi laughed instead, "Why are you talking so badly? And begging... as long as you are willing to speak, it's just a matter of one sentence."

These words finally made Duan Ling raise his head. He looked at Cheng Ziyi who was opposite, and suddenly smiled.

"Do you think my film won't have any funding if I gossip with the investors? Do you want to shake SY's integrity and authority with just a few words and a video? You are too naive."

Cheng Ziyi leaned back on the sofa, folded his hands, "Hey, it seems that our Young Master Duan is very confident, did he get all the funds?"

Duan Ling said without hesitation: "Of course."

Cheng Ziyi's face froze, and then he simply had a showdown with Duan Ling, "How did I hear that you have been running around all afternoon today to fight for investment! Just don't..."

"Who said I went to get investment?" Duan Ling interrupted him, "I went to terminate the contract with them."

Cheng Ziyi was stunned, "What?!"

"Speaking of which, I still want to thank you," Duan Ling tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and he would do this action unconsciously when he was thinking, "It's so easy to believe your nonsense just based on a video. Companies that are vacillating and only focus on short-term interests must never become the long-term partners of SY. This is just right, we can exclude these companies, and save a lot of money for future company communications, at least we don’t have to bother to win them over It matters."

Duan Ling stood up, smiled indifferently, and said word by word: "I will never ask you to help me."

"Besides, that video is nothing to me. You don't think there will be trouble in the future, so keep it if you want."

After saying these words, Duan Ling got up and left.

"Don't go yet!" Cheng Ziyi saw Duan Ling leaving as soon as he said so, so he immediately stood up and called to Duan Ling behind him.

Duan Ling stopped, and after a pause, he turned around calmly, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Ziyi gritted his teeth, and looked at Duan Ling bitterly, with unwillingness and disbelief on his face.

"You just left?"

Duan Ling shrugged indifferently, "I don't want to waste precious time on such trivial matters," he looked down at his watch, and urged a little impatiently, "Say what you have to say, I'll hurry up time."

Cheng Ziyi's expression became even more rigid.

Duan Ling turned around immediately.

Cheng Ziyi said, "I do have that video tape."

Duan Ling didn't stop when he heard these words, but slowed down a little.

Cheng Ziyi gritted his teeth and said, "I can return the master tape to you!"

Duan Ling then replied: "Take it here."

"But you have to promise me one condition."

Hmph, it's this classic line again, Duan Ling twitched his lips sarcastically, "Cheng Ziyi, make it clear that I'm not making a deal with you, if you're negotiating terms, just get the hell out of here."

"Duan Ling, are you so tough with other people too?" Cheng Ziyi was annoyed by Duan Ling's attitude, and his face changed into that kind of sinister smile again, "Because it's me, that's why you are so unscrupulous, in front of Qi Jingrui Do you dare to do this? You are not so soft that you can be trampled on!"

As soon as Duan Ling heard him mention Qi Jingrui, he frowned heavily, "Shut up."

"You dare not admit it..."

Duan Ling walked up to him in a few steps, his face sank.He was very imposing and oppressive, and Cheng Ziyi unconsciously took a step back.

Duan Ling grabbed him by the collar and pulled him over, stared into Cheng Ziyi's eyes, and said: "No one else has the right to make irresponsible remarks about my relationship with him, you don't even know how much I have gone through with him! Whether it's sarcastic remarks or fanning the flames, I didn't get angry after hearing it, not because I really believed your nonsense, but because I was patient and didn't hit you!"

Cheng Ziyi snorted coldly, "Duan Ling, you really know how to put on a show, how long are you going to lie to yourself?"

Duan Ling slowly loosened Cheng Ziyi's collar, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he whispered, "I, Duan Ling, just like to pamper him, coax him, and even... , press, hold."

Cheng Ziyi gritted his teeth in hatred, pointed at Duan Ling and cursed, "Duan, you are a fucking lunatic! Crazy! You have to..."

Duan Ling lightly interrupted his accusation, still softly said: "Cheng Ziyi, I don't care if you say these things in front of me, I can try my best to endure you for the sake of the friendship between the two families, but you dare to say these provocative words in front of him If you don’t, you’re doomed! Don’t try to challenge my bottom line.”

After getting back the master tape, Duan Ling left Cheng Zhai. It was already evening at that time. The driver wanted to take Duan Ling home, but Duan Ling let him drive to the company instead.At that time, it was already time to get off work, and there were only a few sporadic overtime employees left in the company.Duan Ling strode to his office, where the female secretary organized various documents for him.

When she saw Duan Ling push the door open, she raised her head and smiled, "President Duan, you're back."

Duan Ling looked at her expressionlessly.The secretary was a little puzzled, so he had to stop, and asked submissively, "Mr. Duan, are you in a bad mood because you didn't get the investment today?"

"If I answer yes, can you report the latest situation to Cheng Ziyi again?"

The female secretary's face turned pale, "President Duan, what are you talking about?"

Duan Ling snorted, and threw the master tape in front of her, and the master tape hit the table with a dull sound.

The female secretary immediately turned pale, but still pretended to be innocent, "Mr. Duan, you... what do you mean by this?"

Duan Ling laughed, "What do you mean? You don't know what you stole yourself now?"

The female secretary looked terrified, "Could it be that the belt was stolen? But, Mr. Duan, does this... have anything to do with me?"

"Wear gloves when stealing, otherwise you will leave fingerprints, and if you are a woman, you will leave nail polish if you are not careful."

The female secretary tremblingly picked up the master tape that fell on the table. She checked it several times before finding a little raised black foreign object on the extremely narrow horizontal edge.

You can't notice it unless you look carefully.

But Duan Ling not only found out, but also recognized that it was her nail polish.

The female secretary let go of her hands in fright, took two steps back in a panic, raised her head and quickly looked at Duan Ling, but met his eagle-like eyes.

"Are you going to continue to quibble? Say it was done by someone else? Fortunately, I recruited you more because I was too busy a while ago. Well, you can get out now."

The female secretary said pitifully, "Mr. Duan, listen to my explanation..."

Duan Ling walked over and smiled gently.

"With the fingerprints you left on it as evidence, I can almost sue you for the crime of commercial espionage. Moreover, because of stealing this video tape, billions of billions of investment have been delayed, which is enough for you to squat for 20 years."

The female secretary never expected that not only was she exposed, but she also had no room for rebuttal.Duan Ling's strength made her unable to utter a single word of resistance. The female secretary trembled and almost cried.

"Mr. Duan, Mr. Duan, you...don't be like this..." The female secretary took a step forward tremblingly, but her legs were weak and her feet were sprained, and Duan Ling helped her in time, "Be careful, don't You fell, but you were hired by Cheng Ziyihua at a high price."

The female secretary only felt a chill down her spine, "Mr. Duan, please let me go. I just listened to him because I was obsessed with money. Mr. Duan, I didn't mean to..."

Duan Ling nodded and interrupted her slowly, "Well, you didn't do it on purpose, you were just bewitched by Cheng Ziyi."

"In this case...well then," Duan Ling let go of her, put one hand lightly on the table, and said slowly, "Go back to Cheng Ziyi's side, and from now on, be my eyeliner."

The female secretary was speechless and could only stare at Duan Ling in a daze.

"Can it be done?"

Duan Ling's fingers tapped on the edge of the table, but the regular soft sound disturbed the female secretary, her eyes were full of blank panic.

Duan Ling repeated again, "I will fire you with formal reasons, and then you will return to Cheng Ziyi's side and be my eyeliner obediently. I will give you twice as much money as Cheng Ziyi gave you."

Now that the children's secretary understood, she nodded immediately, "Okay..."

Duan Ling smiled, "Very well, you can go."

After the female secretary left, the office fell completely silent.

Duan Ling closed his eyes and took a long breath of relief. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the clock on the wall. It was almost seven o'clock.

Just then the phone rang, Duan Ling picked it up, and a familiar voice came over.

"I'll wait for you downstairs in the company."

The clear and clean voice relieved Duan Ling's tense nerves.

"Okay!" He finally laughed from the bottom of his heart, "I happen to be fine here, so I'll go down immediately."

It was dark outside and the street lights were on.

When Duan Ling went down, he saw Qi Jingrui standing on the first step.A small half of his face was hidden in the shadow of the light.Under this kind of dim streetlight, he still looks handsome and handsome, calm and elegant at every moment.

Duan Ling's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he ran and rushed towards him in excitement.Qi Jingrui stretched out his arms to catch Duan Ling, but because Duan Ling's movements were too "fast", both of them shook.

Duan Ling hugged Qi Jingrui tightly, and buried his face in the other's neck.

It was very warm there, especially in winter, Duan Ling couldn't help rubbing against it.

There was a slight itch on Qi Jingrui's neck. He turned his face slightly to create a small space for Duan Ling to breathe, but Duan Ling leaned closer and pressed against him again.

Qi Jingrui asked, "Have you been wronged?"

Duan Ling was silent for a moment, then replied in a muffled voice, "No!"

Qi Jingrui raised his hand and stroked Duan Ling's hair, "Why do you look like a puppy?"

Duan Ling coughed lightly, "...I'm fine." Then he hugged him quietly for a while, until he felt cold standing outside, Duan Ling raised his head from Qi Jingrui's arms, "Okay, let's go , it's past seven o'clock."

Qi Jingrui smiled and indulged, "It's okay, let them wait a little longer."

Duan Ling couldn't help being happy, he looked at the other party's face with a faint smile, and began to feel itchy again.

Duan Ling said: "Then let's do something to keep out the cold!"

Then, his kiss came.
