Yang Luna was still thinking about it, but she didn't notice that Xi Lingchen had already taken the initiative to stand in front of her.

"Why are you standing here alone, not used to this kind of atmosphere?" he said lightly. Holding a goblet in his hand, he swayed with an intoxicating flush. And his voice is like an old wine, with a kind of hoarse magnetism.

Yang Luna was startled, retracted her chaotic thoughts, and hurriedly bowed after standing firm: "President Xiling, do you remember me? I'm Yang Luna, we met at the business dinner before?"

Xi Lingchen smiled calmly: "I regret the change in your company. He raised his glass to her and gestured slightly, "But you seem to be much more mature now, and sometimes suffering is an experience, isn't it?"

Listening to his tone that he had nothing to do with himself, the long-standing resentment in Yang Luna's heart suddenly became like a torrent: "Since you have always known, why do you never answer my father's call when he asks you for help?"

Xi Lingchen's tone did not fluctuate without any fluctuations: "I'm busy. I have to deal with hundreds of millions of dollars in business every day, and I don't have time to listen to a loser's complaints. ”

Yang Luna hurriedly said: "My father is not a loser! He used to be able to manage such a big company, he has the strength and vision......! If someone is willing to inject money into him, he can come back to life!"

"If you are willing to lend him money...... she bit her lip and raised her head sharply, her eyes flashing with a clear light, "In the future, we are willing to pay you back with interest......!" Think it's an investment, a gamble on him, okay?"

Xi Lingchen still shook his head indifferently: "I'm not a philanthropist. I'd rather invest a horse in the field than a waster in the business. As he spoke, he raised his glass to the boss in the distance, still in a calm and calm manner.

Yang Luna was enraged by his analogy, and was about to retort regardless of it, but Xi Lingchen spoke again.

"The most important thing is that his vision will not shift with the situation. This alone proves that he is not the material for big business. ”

"Shopping malls are inherently risky, maybe you are still worth more than 100 million today, and tomorrow you will already be in debt. If you want to prosper in this industry, you must develop a mentality that is not shocked. ”

"If you want to make a comeback, the most important thing is to accumulate the principal, so where does the principal come from? He can start from odd jobs, have his first savings, and then start a small business, and then gradually invest and expand, there will always be a turnaround. But what about him? What he did was to stay at home every day, keep calling his former boss friends, begging them to lend him money, and every time he borrowed it, it would be hundreds of millions. ”

"Then I asked him to think about it, if someone wants to borrow money from him, he will naturally have to take into account his ability to repay. The way he is now, who would think that he will have to pay a huge sum of tens of millions in the future? Unless they acquiesce, this money is just a waste, and they are not ready to pay it back, but do you have such a friend by your father's side?"

Yang Luna was fascinated by what she heard, and the anger in her eyes subsided unconsciously. The person in front of him, although in the eyes of the outside world, he is cold and terrible, but he has to admit that he always analyzes the pros and cons with the most calm attitude, without any personal feelings. Perhaps it is this absolute intellect that allows him to always make the right choice every time.

"He is a poor man now, and he is even worse than those poor people with stable jobs," Xi Lingchen casually shook the red wine in his glass, "but he has always stuck to his boss mentality, feeling that he can't do dirty work and tiredness, and the funds must be in place in one step...... And then he holds on to such a dream and stops forever, and this is his fatal mistake! If he continues like this, he is just wasting his time to turn the tables. ”

"This world is very realistic, no one has the obligation to pull you," Xi Lingchen raised his eyes slightly, and swept towards her indifferently, "Relying on yourself is always better than relying on others, remember my words." ”

Yang Luna couldn't help nodding, she actually felt that there was some truth in what she said.

He has also persuaded his father more than once to go out and find a simple job first, at least with a meager salary to survive, but he refuses to do anything.

Even he and his mother sold their expensive clothes and jewelry, and worked in various service places every day, but my father still wore his former formal clothes and tie, and locked up in his room every day, intoxicated by his identity as a boss and unable to get out.

She also knew that her father was worried that once she took the first step to work, she was afraid that her entrepreneurial ambition would be wiped out, and she would be just an ordinary worker for the rest of her life. But without principal, without connections, staying at home and daydreaming every day is never the way to go!

"That'...... Can I ask you for another thing?" Eventually, Yang Luna moved her lips and spoke with difficulty.

If she had always regarded herself as the eldest lady, life at home would have been even more difficult now! If she wants her father to recognize her identity, she herself must also recognize her identity...... She is no longer the daughter of the rich family, now she is a female artist with no name, and she is a female artist waiting to be selected! What she should do is to leave behind the self-esteem of the eldest lady and make an "equivalent transaction" with him.

"As you can see, I'm at the bottom of the entertainment industry right now, and I have to wait for a boss who is willing to give me a role...... However, because I had some unpleasant encounters with Young Master Rong Huang, no investor dares to use me at all now......"

Before she could elaborate on the love and hatred between her and Rong Huang, Xi Lingchen interrupted her again: "I don't care if there is any conflict between you and Rong Tianzhen's son. ”

"I just want to know, what can you give me?"

Business...... Is it finally coming?

Yang Luna shrank for a moment, and her gaze subconsciously dodged his direct gaze. But such an escape was only for a moment, thinking of the actress's disdain for herself in the same period, thinking of Xie Shaochen's ultimatum, and thinking of her determination that she had finally made up, she finally raised her head again.

"I ......" she didn't say any more, but slowly untied the suspenders on her shoulders, a simple gesture that was already obvious.

Although the heating was on in the venue, at this moment, she still felt cold. The bare skin is cold, but the panic in my heart seems to have ignited a fire in my body. With ice on one side and fire on the other, she could only tremble helplessly, bearing the torment of this fall.

Until now, she was still terrified of what was about to happen. She can only comfort herself over and over again with "It's better to accompany Xilingchen than to accompany other bosses".

It was the most painful moment of her life.

However, Xi Lingchen didn't even look at her, but just took a sip of wine casually.

"I think you're mistaken. ”

"I'm a businessman, not a guest visiting a green house. Your body is worthless to me. ”

Yang Luna's pupils contracted suddenly. If he really wanted to take himself away, he would resist, but his not uncommon attitude made his self-esteem as a woman disappear.

Silently pulling on the shoulder straps, she only felt humiliated again.

"I'll just be clearer. Xi Lingchen looked at the rippling whirlpool in the wine glass, and smiled indifferently, "What can you give me?" If you can guarantee the ticket and let you be the heroine, you will definitely become a hit, and you can also jump directly to the front line and become a popular topic person, not to mention that it is an advertising space, I will directly invest in a drama for you." As for Tianzhen's side, I will naturally settle it out. ”

"The question is, ask yourself, can you give me such a guarantee?"

Yang Luna was stunned. Before, I hollowed out my thoughts, all in order to fight for a role. As for the follow-up questions...... But she never thought about it.

Indeed, she could not do it. Whether it's acting or modeling, she's a complete newcomer. What Xie Shaochen cares about is just to recruit beauties and then sell them out one by one. But he never thought of paying out of his own pocket to train their professional skills first.

Except for one face...... She really didn't have anything she could handle. So what qualifications does she have to ask others to invest for her?

"Looks like you've got it. Xi Lingchen nodded appreciatively and handed her a business card.

"Then when you have the confidence to do this one day, come and talk to me again. ”

With his usual style, as long as he can make money, even if he is a beggar, he can help him to the altar, if not, even if you are a big boss with a net worth of more than 100 million, he doesn't want to take care of you.

Tianzhen's ban order, he also didn't pay attention to it. That little young master Rong Huang is nothing more than a second ancestor, what kind of ability does he have, and it doesn't all rely on Tianzhen's family background. With his current status as an equal to Rong Tianzhen, as long as he casually says hello to him and asks him to restrain his son, then everything will be solved.

Even if it's just a matter of words, he doesn't want to help when there is no benefit. Everything needs to be exchanged for equivalence, that's his principle.

Next, he poured another glass of wine and continued to accept the praise of the other bosses.

Yang Luna looked at his back, but she didn't move her steps for a long time.

It is said that his words are contrary to his ears, and his unpopular words today are like a beam of light that illuminates the door of her heart.

Listening to his words also made her clear for the first time how to go in the future.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, maybe this is what he wants to tell himself.

It turns out that not every boss will only treat women as "goods".

"Xilingchen ......" Yang Luna muttered to herself, and her face also bloomed with the first sincere smile since the family went bankrupt, "Thank you." ”

When she returned to Xie Shaochen and Liu Mo, the two of them were still fighting hotly. She stood on the side for a while before Xie Shaochen noticed her presence.

"How's it going?" In front of Liu Mo, he still had to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, and at this time, he could only hint at Yang Luna.

Yang Luna raised her head generously and smiled at him frankly.

"I figured it out. From tomorrow onwards, I'll be on the set to play tricks. Earn money while gaining experience. Then I will use the money to go to an acting training class. ”

"President Xiling said that when I have the ability to support a drama by myself, he is willing to invest in me. So instead of doing some crooked ways, you should improve your professionalism, don't you think?"

Xie Shaochen could only nod perfunctorily and congratulate. But in his heart, he still blamed Yang Luna for not taking the initiative to dedicate herself, and why she had to take a long detour if she could take a shortcut.

Although Liu Mo also said congratulations on the surface, she secretly looked at Yang Luna with half jealousy, half expected.

President Xiling is really still the same...... I really don't know what kind of woman it takes to arouse his interest.

……

The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

The next day, Liu Mo took a taxi alone and came to the desolate suburban prison.

On the way, her jade slip rang several times, all of which were messages from Xie Shaochen, and the opening remarks were always the same, "What are you doing?"

Eight out of 10 suitors lying on her friends list have "what are you doing?" and she receives dozens of "what are you doing" throughout the day.

It's really a "death opening" that people don't want to pay attention to at first glance.

Exiting the chat interface, Liu Mo checked the map on the jade slip while reconfirming the scenery in front of him.

"This should be the ......"

She still remembered how she tricked Guan Mu into bringing herself here last time-

At that time, after some clever words, she finally conquered Mrs. Guan's defense, and she opened the door and invited herself in. Maybe she has been lonely for too long, and after a little temptation from her, she took the initiative to pour out a basket of heartfelt words.

Liu Mo chatted with her very patiently, and even helped her do housework intimately. In less than half an hour, it made up for the alienation that I hadn't seen for many years. Now Mrs. Guan looks at her like a daughter again.

Her subtle scheming and routines are not only useful for men, but also for elders.

"Aunt, I heard that the main culprit of the year is about to have his sentence commuted, do you know the news?" Seeing that the time was gradually ripe, Liu Mo pretended to be inadvertently tentative while wiping the table.

When Mrs. Guan heard this, her face instantly turned white: "What did you say? Where did you hear that?"

Liu Mo turned her back to her and slowly said the lines she had prepared a long time ago: "Because in this public welfare reality show, the son of the main culprit, Su Shi'an ......" When she said the name, her voice also brought out a slight jerkiness," ...... got in touch with Boss Mo in Moliang City, and Boss Mo had a good impression of him. I think he's going to take advantage of that and do something for his dad. ”

Mrs. Guan's breath became short: "Su Shi'an...... I remember this little brute...... When he was still so young, he knew that he brought reporters to our house, deliberately provoked me, and photographed my ugly appearance in the newspaper...... He's the same as his father, he's been a demon since he was a kid!"

"How can this be...... How can this be? The criminal has to have his sentence commuted...... Is my husband dying in vain?!"

She clutched her shirt tightly on her chest, gasping for a quick gasp, and groping stiffly on the table with one hand, looking for a quick-acting heart pill.
