Qiu Zi'an walked towards us step by step, and the only people who knew him on the scene were me, Qiao Ye and Jin Qiu, so the others didn't take it too seriously, especially Liu Liu, who asked while adding charcoal to the oven: "Whose friend, I haven't seen it before." ”

Jin Qiu and Qiao Ye looked at me together, but I never regarded him as a friend in my heart. Because I don't have a natural affection for these kinds of people, I don't like their shrewdness in taking one step at a time. Not only that, but I'm even more tired of the deep scheming they have when they do things. is like him to Chen Yi, I still suspect that the live broadcast accident that caused Chen Yi to leave the hosting circle was planned by him.

Qiu Zi'an didn't get too close to us, he stopped under a plane tree with colorful lanterns, smiled and said to me: "I know that I am not a popular person in your eyes, but I came here today mainly to find President Jin Qiujin, but if you are willing to talk to me, I also feel very honored......" After a pause, he turned to Jin Qiu and said, "Is it convenient to borrow a step to speak?" Talking about something about work here may disturb your friends' interest in eating and drinking. ”

Jin Qiu nodded, and after making a waiting gesture with us, he and Qiu Zi'an walked to a corner not far away where building materials were piled up.

At this time, I replied to Liu Liu, who had just been questioned: "You should have heard of his name, he is a person in the circle. ”

This time, not only Liu Liu, but even Yao Yu and Yang Qu also looked at Qiu Zi'an's side together.

Qiao Ye smiled disdainfully, took my words, and said, "This person's name is Qiu Zi'an, the boss of Yi'an Media...... If you don't know, you've heard of your local Apocalypse Media in Shanghai, and that company also has his shares...... This person is a bit well-known in the circle, but ...... Character, hehe, I don't like it anyway. ”

After hearing that Qiu Zi'an was a shareholder of Apocalypse Media, Liu Liu and Kang Kang, two people who had been mixing in the underground music circle, finally nodded, Liu Liuzhi didn't say anything, but Kang Kang widened his eyes and said with emotion: "Then this person must be quite awesome...... People in the entire Shanghai circle, who don't know that Tianqi Media's resources and star-making ability are ranked among the best in the country...... Last year, they did a music show, which became popular with several newcomers, and they all started concert tours across the country, and they also made big movies. ”

"Then you hurry up and stammer."

Liu Liu said a word without being salty, Kang Kang smiled a little embarrassed, and replied: "I just said the influence of Tianqi Media in the industry in a matter-of-fact manner, and I don't mean anything else." ”

I didn't speak, I just wondered in my heart what Qiu Zi'an was looking for Jin Qiu, I remember that a long time ago, they had an intersection, and they could even be said to be friends in the same circle.

A moment later, Jin Qiu returned to us, but Qiu Zi'an did not leave, he seemed to be answering someone's call. Jin Qiu said to me, "Do you want to go over and talk to him?" ”

"What can I talk to him about?"

"Don't you want to know that Yuan Zhen signed a contract with Apocalypse Media and has launched a national tour, but he is nowhere to be found with Xiao Ai, and who paid this liquidated damages for him in the end? …… Qiu Zi'an may have an answer there, after all, he is now one of the shareholders of Apocalypse Media. ”

My heart shook, and then I put down the beer in my hand, and I glanced at Qiu Zi'an again, and found that he had finished the call with others, and he was also looking at me, and he nodded to me.

I finally got up and walked to him, then stopped in front of him, lit a cigarette and said to him: "Yuan Zhen is a contracted artist of Apocalypse Media, I heard that after he left without authorization, he faced a compensation for liquidated damages, you are one of the shareholders of Apocalypse Media, you should know who bears this liquidated damages in the end, right?" ”

Qiu Zi'an didn't rush to answer, but just asked me: "Do you know how much compensation he faces for liquidated damages after playing such a play?" ”

"I don't know."

Qiu Zi'an stretched out 1 finger to me, I was stunned for a moment, and asked, "1 million?" ”

Qiu Zi'an smiled and replied, "1 million!" You also underestimate the company's determination to praise him in the first place, after he left without permission, the tour that has been launched, and the compensation for the breach of contract in the venue alone is far more than 1 million. ”

"So what?"

"10 million RMB."

The answer given by Qiu Zi'an shocked me beyond measure, I couldn't speak for a long time, I just kept thinking about who Yuan Zhen could pay this liquidated damages for him, but after thinking about it, there was no result, because this was not 100,000, but a full 10 million, and I had never seen so much money in my life.

Qiu Zi'an said again: "Actually, like you, I also want to know who is so generous, but all I can know so far is that this money was transferred from overseas...... After Yuan Zhen left, the company was shocked, and divided into two factions, some advocated that he should be held accountable through legal means immediately, and the conservatives had a wait-and-see attitude, after all, once they resorted to the law, it would also have a great impact on the company's reputation, so they privately found a lot of connections to inquire about Yuan Zhen's whereabouts, but this person was the same as missing, and finally the conservatives were forced to accept the legal way to solve the matter, which was very unfavorable to Yuan Zhen personally, and he was likely to lose his freedom because of this...... But at this time, the company's books received 10 million liquidated damages sooner or later...... Later, this matter was suppressed. ”

I was silent for a while, and I felt strange in my heart, but I didn't want to talk about it until I had a definite answer, so I put away the doubts in my heart and took another hard puff of my cigarette.

"Why, don't you thank me for telling you this? …… I think this is a very useful piece of information for you. ”

I looked at Qiu Zi'an, and then said, "There's no need to thank you, you have such a strong purpose, you choose to tell me this." I'm definitely not getting as much as you. ”

"Ehashi, between us, I don't know if I should describe it as having a holiday, but I really don't want to maintain this hostile state...... If you were hostile to me at the beginning, it was because of Chen Yi. But now, she has her own belonging, and none of us are the last people she chooses, in fact, in a way, we are all quite pathetic! ”

I didn't agree with what he said, and I didn't choose to disagree, and he patted me on the shoulder like a friend, and walked towards the car he was driving, but I don't know if because of the inertia of thinking, or for some other reason, I still felt that I needed to keep a certain distance from this person. In short, he will definitely not be my friend on the long road of life.

Or, his overtures today are because everyone knows that I am Yang Jin's son, if this is really the case, I will not be even more unkind to see this person, and he will not be able to get any benefits from me.

But I'd rather be so, because it would make his purpose of showing favor a lot simpler.

……

On this night, several of us drank a lot of wine and talked a lot about the future operation of the bar, especially me, as the matchmaker and leader, I explained my development ideas and current conditions to everyone. As a result of the final communication, everyone had a certain degree of confidence in the project, but they were not blind, and at the same time agreed that there would be more challenges and difficulties to face in the future.

After the dinner, everyone left one after another, only Jin Qiu remained here, and I knew that she might want to tell me about Qiu Zi'an looking for her.

Sure enough, she asked me, "Don't you want to know why Qiu Zi'an came to me today?" ”

"It can't be for love!"

Jin Qiu slapped me on the face and complained, "Can you be serious!" …… Actually, he wanted me to take on the position of general manager of Yian Media. ”

I was just a little surprised, because of course Qiu Zi'an would not ask her for anything other than cooperation or work, I smiled and asked her, "What conditions did he offer?" ”

"Actually, you should ask what he will get from me."

"Hehe, you're still so confident!"

"I'm not confident...... It's just that you don't quite understand what a businessman can calculate...... He said that as long as I was willing to be the general manager of Yian Media, he would give me some shares, a seven-figure annual salary, and many other benefits, including a house in Shanghai. ”

I finally sighed, "He's really willing to put in the blood...... But what do you think? Anyway, I will never give you this treatment. ”

Jin Qiu shook his head and replied, "I'm not telling you this to bring out any treatment issues...... I just want to tell you that the biggest reason why Qiu Zi'an wants me to go over is to hope that I can hold your mother's thread for him...... And that's priceless. ”

I immediately raised my doubts and asked, "Is there any abnormal cooperation between them?" ”

"You're a bit extreme...... Let me tell you this, Qiu Zi'an wants to squeeze into a more upper-class circle, which has more than just commercial resources, and may also have political support...... Therefore, he is a very ambitious man who is also very good at running himself. ”

I smiled with a little sarcasm: "Hehe, then he may be hugging the wrong thigh, right?" Doesn't he know that you were put on the spot by Yang Jin to get to where you are now? ”

Jin Qiu also smiled and replied, "My relationship with your mother is not as bad as you think...... When she ended her relationship with me, it was actually the result of our discussions, and we had to sacrifice to preserve the future of the hotel...... Probably what you're hearing is just scratching the surface. ”

As soon as she said this, my face suddenly fell, and I asked in a cold voice: "So you came to Shanghai, and it was also arranged by Yang Jin?" ”
