Chapter Seventy-Seven: I Am the "Advisor"
Happy times are always short-lived, and after everyone finished dinner together, Choi Jin-ryong accompanied Lee Byung-kook to drive Lee Ai-jeong, Lim Yoon-a and Seo Joo-hyun home separately. On the way back, Cui Zhenlong said to Li Bingguo: "Uncle, thank you for your careful care during this time, I can be very willful sometimes, I am also grateful that you can tolerate my shortcomings, you are really a very qualified agent." ”
"I'm also honored to be your agent, anyway, there is also a 'national' level artist in my hands, which is the envy of other peers." Li Bingguo said with a smile.
Cui Zhenlong also nodded with a smile and continued: "For a long time in the future, my acting career may come to a standstill, and I will not take any more trips unless it is a special circumstance. Of course, there is one more thing, which is that at one o'clock in the afternoon next Saturday, please come to my house, and there are some work things that need to be handed over. ”
After Li Bingguo heard this, he nodded clearly, he expected from the beginning that there would be such a day, Cui Zhenlong's identity as a child is too special, and his development in the entertainment industry is only temporary, and leaving is inevitable, but what Li Bingguo didn't expect was that this moment would come so soon. For a moment, both of them stopped talking and fell silent in the nanny's car.
A week passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, Li Bingguo came to Cui's house ten minutes in advance according to the agreed time, he sighed lightly, and straightened his tie before ringing the doorbell in front of him.
It was the nanny of the Cui family who came to open the door, and Li Bingguo immediately greeted politely: "Hello, aunt!" ”
"It's Li Bingguo, come in!" When the nanny saw that it was an acquaintance, she welcomed Li Bingguo in with a smile, "You go and sit casually first, and I'll make you tea." With that, the nanny turned around and went into the kitchen.
And Li Bingguo walked into the living room as he said, and to his surprise, there was a young man who looked to be only twenty-seven or eighteen years old sitting on the sofa drinking coffee in the living room. "Hello, Senpai!" When the young man saw Li Bingguo's arrival, he hurriedly got up and bowed to say hello.
"Ah, hello, are you here for the appointment too?"
"yes, I made an appointment to meet President Choi himself."
"Oh~~ That's the case," Li Bingguo said suddenly, and then the two of them sat back on the sofa and began to be silent.
At this time, the nanny aunt came to the living room with a cup of tea in her hand, she put the tea set in front of Li Bingguo, and said with a smile: "Please use it slowly, Li Bingguo xi!" Zhenlong will come down soon, you can wait patiently for a while. Li Bingguo also hurriedly thanked him.
When the nanny and aunt left the living room, the scene fell into an embarrassing situation for a while, and neither of them knew what to say to each other, so they continued to remain silent. Fortunately, not long after the appointed time, Cui Zhenlong appeared in the living room with a thick Wen Jiàn clip in his hand.
After seeing Li Bingguo, he apologized with a smile: "Uncle Bingguo is really embarrassed, there were some things just now, so there was a little delay in time." And it also caused you to make a special trip. After saying this, he put the text on the coffee table and sat on the main seat.
"This... I'm sorry, I think I'd better miss the company first" The young man saw that Cui Zhenlong and Li Bingguo seemed to have something to discuss, so he politely took the initiative to say this.
However, Cui Zhenlong stopped the young man who wanted to get up and leave, and asked, "May I ask if you are Assistant Xu?" ”
"Yes, I'm Xu Zhenghuan, and President Cui informed me to come today." Xu Zhenghuan himself also felt very strange today, what needs to be discussed at the boss's own home? Can't you say it in the company? But now Cui Gengyou has not yet arrived after the appointment time, but his son has appeared here. And for the relatively immature boy in front of him, Xu Zhenghuan is still very familiar, he can be seen in major newspapers and news media recently, the youngest general trend artist, with the title of "national brother" of the Republic of Korea, the eldest son of the boss Choi Gengyou - Cui Zhenlong.
"Xu Zhenghuan senior!" Cui Zhenlong opened his mouth and said: "You don't have to leave in a hurry, in fact, it's not my father looking for you today, it's me!" Xu Zhenghuan opened his mouth slightly, looking at Cui Zhenlong in surprise, he really couldn't imagine that the truth of the matter was like this, even Li Bingguo on the side looked at him with a questioning face, a little curious about what Cui Zhenlong would do when he looked for the young man in front of him.
Cui Zhenlong ignored the change in the expressions of the two people in front of him, and continued to take care of himself: "You two seniors should know my identity very well, so I won't say much about this, let's go straight to the point." This time, I am looking for two seniors to come here because of an important matter, and I need to ask for your opinions... My father's C.P Film and Television Company's subsidiary, C.PEntertainment, must have known both of them, right? ”
Li Bingguo and Xu Zhenghuan both nodded slowly to this question, one of them is now working in C.P Film and Television Company, and the other is a special assistant under Cui Gengyou, how could they not know about C.PEntertainment, an economic company?
Cui Zhenlong saw that both of them confirmed the matter, so he continued: "It has been a few months since the establishment of this C.PEntertainment, but there has not been much improvement, and now the company is barely counted as the only artist under the company, but I can't be in the entertainment industry for a long time, and my father doesn't pay much attention to this company, and the investment is limited." I was interested in buying the company from my father. However, then the problem came, I was too young to directly manage this company, and there was no one under my hands now, so I asked Abba for someone to come and help me, and that person was Assistant Xu. ”
Immediately afterwards, Cui Zhenlong turned his head to Li Bingguo and said: "Uncle, you have been my temporary agent for a while ago, and I feel very happy to cooperate with the two of us, so I also hope that you can come to C.PEntertainment to help me!" ”
"Zhenlong, do you mean to run C.PEntertainment yourself?" Li Bingguo asked again with some uncertainty, Cui Zhenlong nodded affirmatively and repeated: "I really hope that my uncle can help me." ”
Hearing this, Li Bingguo couldn't help but gasp, although he knew that the Cui family was rich, and C.PEntertainment was just a small company that had just been established for a short time and had a limited scale, but just handed over a regular company to the underage Cui Zhenlong to operate, which... That's a bit child's play.
And Xu Zhenghuan also said: "Cui Zhenlongxi, if you asked me to come today to ask me personally if I have any intention to help you take over C.PEntertainment, then my answer is very sorry, I don't have time to play this business game with you." ”
"And what if this is my Abba's order to ask you to help me?"
“… Then I will only follow President Cui's arrangement! Xu Zhenghuan replied categorically.
Cui Zhenlong also expected that things would not go so smoothly in the current situation. Li Bingguo is okay, after all, the two have been together for a while, and both sides know each other well, and it is not difficult for Cui Zhenlong to persuade Li Bingguo to help him.
As for Xu Zhenghuan, it is a little difficult to do, listening to Cui Gengyou say that this person is very talented, but he is more tough in character, and it is easy to offend people when he speaks more straightforwardly, if he enters those large group companies, it is difficult to get ahead according to his temper, but under Cui Gengyou's hands, he is like a fish in water, and now several companies are in full swing when they are in full need, and they are in urgent need of talents from all aspects, so this person will be favored by Cui Gengyou, and he will sit in the position of special assistant to the president at a young age. Originally, Cui Gengyou still wanted to keep him by his side and continue to exercise for a while, but now Cui Zhenlong just needs someone here, so Cui Gengyou recommended him. And the implied meaning of Xu Zhenghuan's words just now Cui Zhenlong also understood, that is, if Cui Gengyou asked him to work at C.PEntertainment, he would go, but he would not listen to Cui Zhenlong's arrangement.
"It's a son of a loser" Cui Zhenlong laughed self-deprecatingly, a talented but arrogant person like Xu Zhenghuan had met a lot in his previous life. This kind of person needs to have a stronger or more capable person than him to be able to suppress them, otherwise this kind of person will be the most headache for the bosses, love their talents and be proud of them, want to use but dare not use them, if they can grind their temperament, it will become a good helper.
Cui Zhenlong looked at Xu Zhenghuan thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Assistant Xu, do you know the 'consultant'?" ”
"Advisor? Do you mean the 'consultant' who is rumored in the company..."Xu Zhenghuan is a little strange how Cui Zhenlong could ask about this topic that is only circulated among the company's top management, and Xu Zhenghuan has also heard of all kinds of rumors about the mysterious "consultant", but so far except for the boss Cui Gengyou himself, no one else in the company has seen this "consultant" himself, and he himself privately thinks that this is just a suspicious plan by the boss to make a huge difference, and there is no "consultant" at all. Li Bingguo, who was on the side, was in a fog and didn't know what the two of them meant, after all, he was just an ordinary employee of C.P Film and Television Company, not a senior executive of the company, and it was understandable that he didn't know about the "consultant".
Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two, Cui Zhenlong felt very proud and proud in his heart, who would have thought that the mysterious planner "consultant" behind Cui Gengyou's several large companies was such a half-grown child! Cui Zhenlong suddenly felt a wave of pride in his heart, and even his eyes gradually became sharper... Cui Zhenlong clenched his fists and slowly stood up, looked at the two of them in a condescending posture, and said word by word with a tone that could not be questioned by others: "Now I would like to introduce to the two seniors, I am standing in front of you at this moment, Cui Zhenlong, is what you call 'consultant'!" ”
