Chapter 113: Circle of Influence
The three strangers at the banquet who Yunkang had never met looked at him, their eyes were blazing, and they were obviously very interested in the newcomers who had been hyped up in the company recently.
Yun Kang looked calm, occasionally nodding and smiling at them.
It was no accident that he sat down at this round table, and that Gudali had been instructed to do so in order to win him into the camp of this circle of influence.
Gu Dali was very interested, his smile was full of red light, and he introduced Yunkang: "This is the director of Nangong Guosheng, this Ms. Baili, the company's gold medal screenwriter, and this Miss Guo Jing, a senior psychological counselor, is also a psychology instructor in charge of newcomer training. ”
Both sides were polite, Yun Kang's gaze swept to the faces of the three people, Nangong Guosheng was in his early fifties, combed a big oily back, and his body was slightly bloated, but his skin was well maintained, and only a trace of inconspicuous wrinkles could be seen under the bright and dazzling crystal lamp.
Bai Li is a slightly chubby woman in her thirties, who looks like a housewife, with small eyes, a pink face, wearing a pair of round-edged eyes, with a gentle expression, looking at Yunkang with interest. Guo Jing, who was sitting next to her, was young and beautiful, with long wavy curly hair scattered over her shoulders, dark and shiny eyes, and a wise charm.
Seeing that these people had a respectful attitude towards Nangong Guosheng and were full of pandering, Yun Kang suddenly understood that he was the most important person at this table.
Yunkang secretly observed again, the five round tables of the banquet were arranged like flower petals, the middle table was arranged extremely gorgeously, the chairman and the company's top executives sat on that seat, and the other four tables were around the four corners. This Nangong director did not go to the middle, but sat next to him, obviously with a sense of division and resistance.
The sound of the cello in the banquet hall was melodious and tactful, which made people feel relaxed, and the guests at each table were cautious, and Yun Kang suddenly felt that there was a kind of stagnation in the atmosphere.
Nangong Guosheng had a lovely smile on his face, but his eyes gave people a sense of majesty and inviolability, and two scorching gazes shot out and fell on Yun Kang, and asked casually: "I heard that Li Wen is going to compete with you for the leading actor in the Xianxia movie." What are your thoughts?"
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. In the afternoon, the confrontation between Li Wenzhu and Yunkang had already spread throughout the company, and the high-level directors had also received news from their cronies, and Nangong Guosheng was interested in this matter. At this time, I want to see Yunkang's attitude.
The eyes of the people at the table were all focused on Yun Kang, with different expressions, and Dai Mei pursed her red lips and kept glaring at him. If it weren't for the other people at the table, she couldn't wait to run to Yunkang's side immediately. Raise your ear and tell him: "Director Nangong has asked, you have to answer carefully, and you must not be reckless." ”
Yun Kang hurriedly avoided her gaze, and when he saw Little Pepper's lips, he was a little nervous. In order to ease the embarrassment, he smiled slightly and said, "I'm a newcomer......"
Yan Ruoxuan quietly pushed him under the table, looked at him with a hint of earnestness, and said with a smile: "Yunkang, just say anything directly." Nangong Guosheng's question was tentative. If Yunkang's answer is too mediocre, I am afraid that it will disappoint the directors and be very detrimental to his future development.
Yun Kang was stunned for a moment, and the hint given by Yan Ruoxuan made him think deeply, and the intricate relationships in the dinner party flashed in his mind. Judging from the subtle arrangement of the seats, Nangong Guosheng deliberately avoided Ansi and Chu Hanghe, and the meaning was already very obvious.
In other words, Nangong Guosheng doesn't like Li Wen, if he wants to be outstanding on this topic, Yunkang must take a clear stand. will make the people at this table satisfied.
He felt helpless for a while, although he didn't want to get into the company's power strife, but this kind of thing was inevitable. However, he is Li Wen's sworn enemy, and there is no need to save face for the enemy at this time.
These thoughts flashed through my head. Yun Kang said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If a newcomer wants to abide by the rules, he must respect the opinions of his predecessors. ”
"How sure do you feel about competing with Li Wen for the leading role?" Nangong Guosheng's attitude remained unchanged. Continue to ask.
This young man is not shocked, and he does not grovel in the face of the company's directors, and he stammers desperately, and has a frank general's wind, but he is a malleable talent.
Yun Kang guessed his thoughts, and if he was too cowardly at the moment, he would be despised by the directors. There was a look of confidence in his eyes, and he was full of pride, and said: "If I can't choose, Li Wenzhu will have no hope." ”
The film company auditioned for the leading actor of Xianxia, and it is uncertain who will win it, and Yunkang himself cannot assert that he can compete for the role, but he can guarantee one thing, Li Wensheng has absolutely no chance.
Because Wen Li must die!
This may also be the answer that Nangong Guosheng needs, Yunkang has already figured out the mystery, whether he can be the actor or not, Nangong Guosheng doesn't care, the key is to PK off Li Wen.
Yun Kang's words were very conceited and arrogant, which made the people at the table a little stunned. Nangong Guosheng smiled, slapped his face, looked at Yunkang with appreciation, and said: "The future is terrifying, if you have any trouble in the company in the future, come to me directly." ”
What he meant by saying this was already hinting to Yunkang that in the future in Xingyi Company, there would be a big umbrella covering him, which could shelter him from the wind and rain.
Yang Huai, who was sitting opposite, had a happy face, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Director Nangong soon." Yunkang is a newcomer she selected, and he is already regarded as her descendant, so she has high expectations for him.
And Director Nangong has the heart to cultivate Yunkang, his future star journey will definitely be open all the way, and he can't be popular if he doesn't want to, how can such a good thing make her not happy.
"Thank you Director Nangong, I will work hard. Yun Kang pretended to be very happy and said, but sighed secretly in his heart. Looking at Nangong Guosheng's attitude, he has already classified him as "his own person".
His gaze swept to the people in the seat, from now on, he would be in the same camp as these people in the company, and it was absolutely impossible for him to continue to remain neutral.
There was a sudden sense of loss of freedom in his heart, Yan Ruoxuan squeezed his hand on the table, and there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
"I'll help you. Her voice was thinner than the sound of mosquitoes, but Yun Kang heard it, and held her hand tightly, full of happiness.
The sweet expressions of the two were seen by Dai Mei, and she immediately pursed her lips, her face was very dark, revealing a very unhappy look. Hmph, show your affection to the dinner, Yunkang, I hate you!
"The chairman has arrived. At this time, Yang Huai suddenly reminded everyone.
The music of the cello stops. All eyes were on the door. I saw Annss walking into the venue surrounded by several directors, she was wearing a silk cheongsam, which made her look more young and charming, and her figure was attractive. The high heels are swaying with their steps, and the makeup is very exquisite, with a kind of charm of a rich and famous lady in the old Shanghai era.
The people at the banquet stood up and shouted, "Hello chairman." Only Nangong Guosheng was still sitting as steady as Mount Tai, holding a crystal red wine glass in his hand. A faceless look.
Ann Si was slightly stunned when she saw it in her eyes, and although she was unhappy in her heart, her face was silent.
Xingyi is only one of the many subsidiaries of the Tang Group, and Ances has no say in the entire Tang Group, except for being in charge of Xingyi. And Nangong Guosheng is different, he owns 35% of the shares of the Tang Group, and even Xingyi Company accounts for 7%, since the death of Boss Tang, Nangong Guosheng has become the pillar of the Tang Group.
In the eyes of Nangong Guosheng. Inss is just a small star that Boss Tang spends money to raise, and the Star Art Company is like an ornament, and the huge empire of the Tang Group can scrap it at any time.
It was for this reason that Ances was afraid of Nangong Guosheng and did not dare to offend him lightly, so she could only endure it at this time.
As an immortal cultivator, Yunkang's eyes were very sharp, and he had already seen the micro-expressions of these people in the field, and seeing that Ansi was very jealous of Nangong Guosheng, he felt that Nangong's director had a strong background.
Ances walked over to the middle seat and sat down. On the left and right sat male directors, who were very attentive to her.
Chu Hanghe, whom Yunkang had always wanted to see, did not appear, and Li Wenyan was sitting at the opposite table at this time, glaring at him coldly. Full of provocation.
Yun Kang unceremoniously reciprocated with cold eyes, his eyes shot a cold light, and Li Wen did not retreat, all the people around him looked at him with blazing eyes, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder for a while.
"Please take your seats. Inses smiled, the rouge on her face glowing pink. Red lips said slightly. She was used to big scenes, so she didn't let the tension in the banquet affect her mood.
The master of ceremonies who presided over the dinner was dressed in a tuxedo and said a bunch of high-sounding words in front of the stage. Yun Kang didn't have time to listen to his ramblings, so he turned his head and asked Yan Ruoxuan in a low voice: "There is still a vacant seat at this table, who is late?"
The empty position is next to Nangong Guosheng, the bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses have been arranged, and even the red wine has been poured, Yun Kang knows that this mysterious person who has come belatedly must have an extraordinary identity.
Yan Ruoxuan shook her head suspiciously, although she was a gold medal agent in the company, she could not reach the status of the high-level, at most she was on the periphery of the circle of influence, so she didn't know a lot of things.
When Dai Mei saw them bowing her head and whispering, she felt sour in her heart, and she wanted to throw the fork out and stab it into Yunkang's mouth.
The master of ceremonies spoke for more than half an hour, and the speech was not over, he presented several contribution awards on behalf of the company, praised the success of the advertising filming, encouraged the newcomers to learn from their predecessors, and achieved excellent results in the training camp in the next month.
Finally, Chairman Ances stood up and toasted, hoping that everyone would work together to push Xingyi Company to the top of the entertainment industry.
At this time, even Nangong Guosheng got up, raised his wine glass, everyone drank a sip of red wine, and the dinner officially opened, and the atmosphere was warm and high.
Everyone was tasting the cellar French red wine, and a young woman in a black dress hurriedly walked in from outside the door, looked around the audience, and suddenly saw the table where Yun Kang was sitting, showing a happy look, and exclaimed, "Yun Kang." ”
Yunkang turned his head to look and saw the woman running over with her skirt in both hands, combing her short hair, with an excited face, but it was Tang Li, who had not seen her for a few days.
Since they separated from the Tang family brothers and sisters in Wufeng Mountain, the two sides have not been in contact, and Yunkang has never seen Tang Li in the company, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he suddenly saw her come to the banquet.
"Screenwriter Tang, why are you here?" the master of ceremonies hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and asked with a frown.
Tang Li is a recent college graduate, and with unexpected good luck, he entered the Xingyi Company as a screenwriter, and his status is only a little higher than that of the front desk waiter, who is qualified to participate in the high-level celebration banquet.
Yun Kang saw that the master of ceremonies stopped her, and immediately understood that Tang Li did not have an invitation letter, so he quickly stood up to greet her, and said: "I invited her here, if there was no script written by Tang Screenwriter, our Xianxia commercial film would not have been filmed, so she is a great hero, and of course she is indispensable for the celebration banquet." ”
He didn't want Tang Li to be ridiculed by the master of ceremonies, knowing that his reasons were untenable, he could only help her carry it down.
If you have to blame, blame him for not knowing proportion, anyway, he showed his attitude that this matter was decided by him without authorization, and it had nothing to do with Tang Li.
Sure enough, as soon as Yun Kang's words came out, the people at several tables had strange expressions, and even Yan Ruoxuan frowned, sighing in his heart, when will Yun Kang's temper like to carry the black pot change.
Her heart moved slightly, she had a good impression of Yun Kang, wasn't it because he had helped her righteously? Recalling that Yun Kang pretended to be her boyfriend and helped her resist Ding Pan's matter, Yan Ruoxuan's cheeks turned even redder.
Except for their table, the people at the other tables all whispered, most of them belittled Yunkang.
A newcomer doesn't know the height of the sky, and he takes it upon himself to invite the little screenwriter to participate in the celebration banquet, and he really thinks that if the company supports him, he can fly directly to the sky.
Hehe, it's really ignorant and fearless, dare to break the company's rules, even Li Wenzhu doesn't have the courage to do so.
A group of people shook their heads again and again, this is simply a bad review of himself, such a self-righteous and unknown newcomer must have aroused the disgust of the company's senior management.
At this time, all the people who hated Yunkang gloated, and their eyes narrowed with laughter, this little screenwriter came at a really good time, without her panicking late and breaking into the dinner party, everyone would not have seen this good show.
Li Wen's eyes were even brighter, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel smile, I heard that the chairman was going to look at him and Yunkang's table tonight to assess who was the company's first brother in ancient costumes.
Yunkang took the initiative to let him step on it, but he didn't step on it.
Li Wenyan coughed dryly, stood up with a wine glass, walked in front of Tang Li, and said with a smile: "Screenwriter Tang, right, look at your eyes, you just graduated this year? No wonder I don't know the rules of the company, such a high-level dinner, only VIPs who have received invitations can participate." ”
Yun Kang saw that he was embarrassed by Tang Li, his eyebrows furrowed, this kid was obviously going to target him, but he deliberately took Tang Li's knife.
At this time, Li Wen's expression was disdainful, and he turned his head and shouted: "Master of ceremonies, you take Tang screenwriter out, the dinner has begun, don't disturb everyone's interest in wine tasting." ”
The emcee had an indifferent expression on his face, and said to Tang Li in a strange manner: "Screenwriter Tang, please." "A little screenwriter also wants to mix in the dinner party to eat, thinking that this is a staff canteen, and he is not qualified to be a master of ceremonies.
Yunkang immediately took a step forward, stood up in front of Tang Li, and said coldly, "Don't go too far. ”
It's just a dinner party, Tang Lidu has already come, what's the big deal about sitting down for a meal, they kicked her out in front of everyone, so that a girl can hang up on face.
Everyone turned their heads to look at them, with a lively mentality.
Li Wenyan snorted and sneered: "Yunkang, I see that you forgot that you are a newcomer, the company's senior executives are here, how can you speak here?"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Li's eyebrows were furrowed, his face was furious, he picked up a glass of red wine from the table, splashed it on Li Wen's white shirt, and shouted: "What are you, get out of here!"
