Chapter 034: Exploitation
In the café.
Mu Chu sat at the top, Ling Cheng was opposite her, and Shen Lang was on Ling Cheng's left.
Yuyu has been taken away by Lili, three adults, sitting around the table, how strange the atmosphere is.
Mu Chu lowered his head and pretended to read the script, but his mind was not on the script.
Shen Lang has been talking eloquently, talking about his work experience abroad in the past few years, as well as his views on the company.
Only then did Mu Chu know that after Shen Lang came back, he started his own business and sat as an intermediary agent of an advertising company, which gave him the opportunity to talk about business with Ling Cheng.
Shen Lang bluntly spoke about his ambitions and made no secret of his ambitions in his career.
Ling Cheng listened to it with a pleasant face, without any rebuttal.
The cup of coffee had already been drunk, Mu Chu saw that the time was not early, and planned to remind Ling Cheng to finish early so that he could leave and go out, and the shooting could not be delayed.
No, Ling Cheng saw that Mu Chu was leaving, stretched out his hand, and called the waiter, "Give this lady another cup of coffee." ”
"Yes, Mr. Ling."
Mu Chu raised his head suddenly, looked at the waiter, and then at Ling Cheng, and suddenly understood, no need to ask, this coffee is Ling Cheng's industry again.
Shen Lang said with a smile, "Producer Ling has a lot of industries, it's really enviable." ”
Ling Cheng still didn't speak, only looked down at the coffee he hadn't drunk.
Shen Lang saw that Ling Cheng didn't speak, and he didn't stay on this topic for long, and he became quiet.
The atmosphere continued to be awkward and eerie.
After a while, Ling Cheng suddenly asked Mu Chu, "Is Yuyu's body better?" ”
Mu Chu was stunned for a moment before replying, "Okay, the child's body recovers quickly, and she will be suffocated in the hospital." I'm planning to send her to kindergarten again next week. I've already found a new one. ”
Before finding out who the person who hurt Yuyu was, Mu Chuke would not rest assured that Yuyu would be handed over to that kind of kindergarten, and directly changed to another kindergarten, which was cost-effective, and it was convenient for Lili to pick up and drop off.
Ling Cheng nodded, and asked again, "Did Yuyu say anything, what the hell is going on?" ”
Mu Chu shook his head.
"What's wrong? What happened to Yuyu? Shen Lang suddenly interrupted the two.
Mu Chu didn't bother to answer Shen Lang's words, as if he hadn't heard it, he lowered his head and continued to hold the coffee silently.
Ling Cheng didn't seem to have the heart to explain it to Shen Lang, he just squinted his eyes and smiled at Mu Chu like an old fox.
Shen Lang was left out in the cold, and at a glance he was a superfluous person.
Someone else must have left, but he still sit, didn't continue to ask questions, didn't continue to find topics, and didn't drink coffee.
The atmosphere continued to be tense.
Mu Chu seemed to understand Ling Cheng's intentions, and deliberately made Shen Lang ugly, but his performance was not so obvious.
It seems that he is helping Mu Chu break away from Shen Lang, but in fact, he is also using Mu Chu to give Shen Lang a look.
Mu Chu couldn't help but sneer, "Old fox." ”
Ling Cheng looks down on Shen Lang for sure, his status is different, and his height is different, but Shen Lang doesn't know how to keep a low profile, and squeezing into a circle like Ling Cheng all day long will definitely make people look unpleasant.
can use Mu Chu to give Shen Lang face, this is really ...... Done by villains.
Mu Chu said to Ling Cheng unhappily, "Producer Ling, I want to go home first, you have a good talk with Mr. Shen about work, right?" I'm a busy person and don't want to be a salted fish. ”
In other words, he Ling Cheng is the stinky salted fish.
Ling Cheng was pouted, but he didn't smile, "It's not bad to sit down once in a while." ”
"Hmph, I have my own arrangements, the crew doesn't have to go there, I won't be there this time, goodbye!"
Mu Chu, a cold-faced screenwriter who is well-known in the circle for being scared when she sees people and does not give face, if it weren't for her talent and ability, she would definitely not be able to get many good resources if she offended so many people, let alone win an award.
Playing the most tempered in front of Mu Chu, few people can win.
Ling Cheng is no exception.
Ling Cheng was stunned again, and he really had no choice but to say, "Then it's up to Mu Bian, you can go home first, and we'll finish the shooting by ourselves." ”
"Thank you."
Mu Chu got up and left, and he didn't leave his back.
Seeing that Mu Chu was really leaving, Shen Lang couldn't sit still.
"This ...... Actually, Mr. Ling, I came to have a good chat with my old classmates, I'm really sorry. She's all gone, and I can't stay longer. ”
Ling Cheng raised his eyebrows indifferently, "The matter of the contract ......"
"Ah, this ...... Naturally, I want to talk more about the contract. But...... Well, I'm afraid there is not enough time, don't you still have to rush to the shooting site? ”
"There's no hurry."
After speaking, Ling Cheng gently put the document on the table, pulled out the pen in his pocket, opened the place where he signed, and the pen poked lightly at the place where he signed, but his hand stopped.
"I remember...... Are you classmates with Mu Bian? ”
Shen Lang's eyes lit up, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he stared at Ling Cheng's hand.
"Yes, yes, we're classmates."
"You've been together for three years."
“…… Ah, yes, three years, and then broke up. ”
"And then?" Ling Cheng's pen dropped lightly, and Ling's two points of water outlined.
Shen Langjin was anxious, like a fire, once Ling Cheng signed, his first order can get a commission of three million, which is an astronomical amount for him in the early stage of entrepreneurship, for this order, he did not hesitate to move the company to China temporarily, this is a great opportunity for him to become a senior person.
"And then? And then ...... Mr. Ling, you sign, and we can all say it after you sign. ”
Ling Cheng laughed loudly, and the second stroke couldn't be settled.
"Why did you break up after that?"
Ling Cheng found many people to find out the relationship between Mu Chu and Shen Lang back then, but only a few people nodded and said something, but it was only scratching the surface of what happened four years before he investigated.
Ling Cheng tried his best, and finally had to hit Shen Lang with his idea.
Who knows, he just came back and saw Shen Lang and Mu Chu together, that scene, it seemed that the two of them were still in love.
If he doesn't make good use of it, how when?
Shen Lang wanted a contract, and he gave it.
He wanted the facts, he had to figure them out, and he signed the contract.
"Mr. Ling, what are you ...... What do you mean? ”
Shen Lang had already seen that the relationship between Ling Cheng and Mu Chu was not ordinary, a producer often valued the screenwriter's script, but he paved the way for Mu Chu everywhere and gave him great treatment and honors, which was unprecedented.
Shen Lang affirmed that Ling Cheng was not ordinary to Mu Chu.
Shen Lang squinted his eyes slightly, accustomed to the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
His fingers missed, and he only touched his nose, which was sweating from nervousness.
He suddenly understood, and suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, Mr. Ling, are you ...... It's a bit of fun. Actually, I broke up with Mu Bian a long time ago. I don't have much to do with her now. You, you have a unique appetite and like a woman with children, hehe, but if you want to know something about Mu Chu, I'd be happy to tell you. ”
Ling Cheng's hand was fast, and the word 'Ling' was finished.
He looked up, buckled the pen and pen, his eyes were sharp, and his gaze was faint.
"Go ahead, maybe I'll change the commission above."
Shen Lang's eyes were like an eagle shining in the dark night and seeing its prey, and a pair of eagle talons were ready to go.
"Hehe, this ...... You might as well ask directly, I must know everything. ”
Ling Cheng's eyelids drooped slightly, and a trace of displeasure sprouted.
Mu Chu must have been blind to find a man like Shen Lang back then.
Fortunately, it was separated.
"Mu family, what's going on?"
Shen Lang's body jumped, and his face suddenly turned white.
"This, this, the Mu family?"
"It's inconvenient to say, but don't say it."
"Actually, it's not inconvenient, but it's always someone else's private matter, and I don't know it in detail. Well...... Not long after Mu Chu and I were separated, she dropped out of school, as if because of her sister Mu Qing, Mu Qing committed suicide. At that time, there was a lot of trouble, and he committed suicide by jumping off a building at school, and he died without ...... Clothings. ”
Ling Cheng knew about this matter, he couldn't cover up such a big thing if he wanted to, his people had already found it out.
But why Mu Qing committed suicide is still a mystery.
"Why did you commit suicide?"
Shen Lang's eyes rolled, "I really don't know, I was busy studying abroad in my senior year, and this matter is not very clear." The Mu family has never said anything, and I have been talking to her family on the phone for the past few years...... It's just to condole, after all, I had a period with Mu Chu, and the breakup was also very sudden, so this is psychologically ...... Ah, of course, it's all over, everyone is an adult, hehe, no one is the same, isn't it? ”
Ling Cheng wiped a text on the document with his fingers little by little, here are the terms that the two of them have discussed to revise before, and the final amendments have been made.
In fact, he can sign this document at any time, and there is no loss if he does not sign it.
But wouldn't it be better to make a little use of Shen Lang?
"After the breakup, are you still in touch? You came back again not long after you left the country, did you meet her and what happened? ”
Ling Cheng's words revealed a message openly and secretly.
Like a hammer, it hit Shen Lang's head hard.
He was a little nervous, and it was hard to hide the panic.
His Danfeng eyes circled around, and when he returned to the table, he was still a little panicked.
"Actually, to be honest, I've always suspected that Yuyu is my child, but I asked Mu Chu, and she said no, I even wanted to do a paternity test, for fear that Mu Chu would hate me even more if he found out. Looking at it now, Yuyu has nothing like me, and I'm a lot more relieved. ”
Whether it is relieved or relieved, Ling Cheng does not want to expose it.
Shen Lang came back and took the initiative to approach Mu Chu, I am afraid that the purpose is not just so simple.
Ling Chengmian did not change his color, and nodded slightly.
The pen was taken out again, and the last word 'Cheng' fell on the place where it was signed.
He blew it and sent it to Shen Lang.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
"Yes, yes, thank you Mr. Ling for your trust, this is my first order, with Mr. Ling's care, it will be really ...... in the future In this way, another day, I will definitely invite Mr. Ling to sit down and have a meal, do you see the time? When are you fit? ”
Ling Cheng got up, simply tidied up his suit, buttoned the suit, and undisguised disgust on his serious face, but he still said, "Wait for me to call, happy cooperation." ”
Ling Cheng took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and the two of them gave each other a formal business handshake, a mechanical standard business smile, nodded to each other, immediately separated, and turned to leave.
Sitting back in the car, Ling Cheng dialed the phone.
The man's low and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, and he coughed for a while before saying, "Mr. Ling, it's me." ”
"Well, Shen Lang's opening record of the hotel in the city that night, the time, the room number, and the person who appeared at that time, check it out, and send it to me an hour later."
"Yes. I only have him in and out of the country for the time being, do you want to hear it first? ”
Ling Cheng stared at Shen Lang, who was driving away in front of him, and snorted, "Tell me." ”
"Four years ago today, he came back out of the blue, stayed for three hours that night, and didn't show up, but the school surveillance recorded. After that, Mu Qing committed suicide, and it was only ten minutes before and after. ”
