Chapter 50: Exploiting Each Other
"Don't you want to be a star?"
She was stunned for a moment, not understanding the intention of the other party's sudden words, Lou Tang leaned over to meet her eyes, "I remember you told me that no matter what happens, you will never give up the choice of wanting to be a star."
Celebrities have to give up a lot of things, so they will get much more than ordinary people, you have different feelings for Du Yang, don't show it, my advice on this matter"
Xia Chunai didn't know, but this kind of thing really happened to herself, and it was difficult to control herself for a while.
"Alright, good night." The building walked towards his room.
"Loutang." Xia Chunai called him by name and surname, "Are you really good for me?" ”
He was stunned, "What did you say?" ”
Xia Chun's words of love retracted without a hint, and said, "It's nothing, good night." ”
Lou Tang turned around, his originally confused eyes were clear, and there was still a look that he pretended not to understand just now.
There was a vibration in the bag that Xia Chunai was carrying, she took out her mobile phone, only to find that it was Loutang's mobile phone, and the things she bought today happened to be in her bag.
Lou Tang took it, and after listening to it for a while, his face changed greatly, and the serious look after hanging up the phone was something Xia Chunai had never seen before.
"There is something in the company that must go back now."
It took more than three hours to return to China from Tokyo, Japan, and since the two of them rushed back overnight, it was 4 o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the airport.
Sending Xia Chunai back to the villa, Lou Tang rushed to the company in a hurry, and called the assistant halfway, "I want all relevant personnel to come to the office to see me within two hours." ”
At 5 o'clock in the morning, the quiet building ushered in several people in a hurry, most of these people were dug out of the bed, and some of them still lived outside the fourth ring road.
Even though he hadn't slept all night, Lou Tang was still in good spirits, and his anger made him look terrible gloomy.
The supervisors rushed in, trying to sit as far away from the angry man as possible, only thinking that the other party's anger would not spread to themselves.
"I think you should all know that suddenly 6 companies that have cooperated for more than a year submitted a termination order to us, and they all said that the spokesperson for the next issue will no longer be selected from our company."
He held the documents that terminated the cooperation in his hand, and walked slowly around the desk, and the others didn't dare to come out, what else could he say?
The 6 companies are domestic first-line luxury cosmetics brands, clothing brands, tourism brands and oil brands, and the company has cooperated for more than 6 years, and the endorsement fee can help the company earn more than 100 million yuan in profits in one year.
Lou Tang unbuttoned the top few openings of his suit shirt and pulled off his tie, "Seeing this, you don't have anything to say?" ”
"The celebrities who endorse these brands are all first- and second-tier stars, except for the first-line luxury cosmetics Xinchen, and they have not intersected at all recently, and they have not made any news, and they themselves feel inexplicable."
Another executive said: "And we contacted each other as soon as possible, and these six companies are very consistent, and they all said that the boss was on a business trip." ”
The rest of the people present can guess what kind of things will make the 6 companies that can't beat the eight poles even have the same reasons, which is obviously a lie.
Lou Tang slapped the table, his eyes were heavy, "No matter what the excuse is, I have to know the reason for the termination of these 6 cooperations, and the lawyer department and the finance department will each hand over a list of losses and a copy of the contract to me tomorrow." ”
"Yes."
It was already 7 o'clock in the morning when I walked out of the company's elevator, and employees came to the company one after another, and they didn't dare to mess with him when they saw the building's black face and disheveled appearance.
Before the sun came out, the black elongated Lincoln occupied the most conspicuous position at the entrance of the building, and the man in the black suit said calmly: "Good morning, Mr. Lou." ”
Lou Tang stopped, took out his mobile phone and called the assistant, "No need to check, I know the reason." ”
Quansheng Group
The building in the house, which is as luxurious as the villa, is in the room next to the president's office, and Xia Youguo has lived here for a long time after sending the white-haired man to the black-haired man.
Xia Chunai can imagine the luxury in the room with her eyes closed, anyway, her grandfather's personality is how to be luxurious.
Xia Youguo looked out the window with his hands behind his back and the orange sky faintly revealing for a long time, "I've been thinking about what kind of virtue is needed for you to make the move of running to Japan with a man to go wild without permission." He turned his gaze back to the face he hated to the extreme, "That's the man, you have the same despisable blood in your genes. ”
"Don't look down on my dad." Xia Chunai glared, "You already knew that I was going to Japan, but if you want to find me at this time, you can't help but want to cover it up." ”
Xia Youguo sat down, there was an exquisite breakfast on the table, a small glass of wine, a small piece of lamb chops and half a slice of lemon on the plate, he picked up a knife and fork and cut the lamb chops elegantly, the anger just now had subsided from his face.
"No, I just wanted to remind you again that I gave you your freedom."
"I want to remind you too." Xia Chunai spoke, "Even if the people of the Quansheng Group listen to you, but I have 50% of the legal shares in my hand, if I sell these shares, then the Quansheng Group will be split." ”
Xia Youguo stopped the cutting action in his hand, and raised his somewhat loose eyelids, "If your mother had half of your ruthlessness, she wouldn't have chosen your father." ”
"If I had half the ruthlessness I have now, Dad wouldn't have died!"
The fork slammed on the plate, Xia Youguo stood up excitedly, "He should die, it's not an exaggeration to die ten thousand times!" ”
His chest rose and fell violently for a while before he sat back down, wiping his hands with the napkin on the table, "Don't try to disobey me again, otherwise Xinchen can escape the first time, but not the second time." ”
Xia Chunai pursed her lips, although she could compete with the other party, if she really played tricks, she would lose.
The general assistant knocked on the door, walked in and bowed to Xia Youguo, who got up and left without saying anything.
The general assistant stayed, this man in his forties had been with Xia Youguo for too many years, and his expression was already somewhat similar, he turned on the CCTV on the wall, and then stood aside and waited quietly.
In the huge president's office, the building stands, the arms hanging at the sides of the body are tense, and the palms are curled into fists.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so angry."
He turned around, "Xia Lao." ”
"Don't." Xia Youguo sat down, and after the other party was about to sit down, he suddenly said coldly: "I really didn't invite you to sit down, Mr. Lou." ”
Lou Tang was stunned for a moment, then got up silently, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, obviously suppressing anger.
Xia Youguo admired his expression like appreciating a painting, "This is my thank you for taking my granddaughter out to play." ”
"No, yes, polite, angry," Lou Tang gritted his teeth and said slowly.
The latter chuckled, "Sit on the bar, Mr. Lou, I thought there was no need for us to meet again after last time." ”
Loutang is not sitting, not sitting, the previous humiliation has been alive again, and when people sit down, Xia Youguo re-spoke, "Actually, I admire young people like you, success belongs to you, but success is not easy to come by, you still have to be careful." ”
"Xia Chunai and I are now just a relationship between a boss and a subordinate."
"Oh?" Xia Youguo raised his eyebrows, "But that's not what you do." ”
"Mr. Lou, so I like young people like you, and I don't need me to make my words clear, and you are not allowed to show your feelings to her."
Lou Tang didn't mean to hesitate, "Okay." ”
In the office on the other side, Xia Chunai looked at the building that answered crisply and cheerfully in the video, and when she saw her grandfather's glance of nothingness, she stood up angrily and rushed out.
"Let's go, Mr. Lou."
As soon as Lou Tang came out of the office, he saw Xia Chunai, who was a little aggrieved, he didn't stop, just hurriedly passed by her, and soon disappeared around the corner.
Xia Youguo walked out slowly, looked meaningfully at Xia Chunai, who was about to cry, and then left without looking back, the general assistant bent slightly towards her, and then left with him.
Xia Chunai went to chase the building, and from looking at his expression in Japan, he knew that his grandfather must have done something to the company, otherwise he would not have looked shocked at that time, but it is conceivable that it is the same routine as dealing with Sister Xinchen, using these things to separate the two of them. She chased out of the building, just in time to see the car in the building disappearing.
Even if the people in the group were curious, they didn't dare to see what was going on, she was sad, and she didn't want others to see her like this, so she casually got on the elevator and rushed out when the elevator door opened.
When she saw a closed conference room, she opened the door and wanted to go in and stay for a while, but she didn't expect that a meeting was going on inside, and the person presiding over the meeting happened to be Wang Shichu, the general manager she invited back.
"I'm sorry, I'm going now."
"Don't, this group belongs to your family, you can come whenever you want." Wang Shichu put away the information, "Okay, that's all for today, and the meeting will be dismissed." ”
The employees came out one after another, and Wang Shichu was the last one, standing at the door, "Do you need me to close the door?" ”
Xia Chunai turned his back to her, and his voice couldn't hear the emotion, "Under his nose, what does it make if the door is closed or not?" ”
Wang Shichu shrugged his shoulders, closed the door and walked to the farthest place from her and sat down, "I don't care about you and Xia Lao, but for your gratitude for inviting me to participate in the management of the company, what I can tell you is that Xia Lao did not exclude you from the group." ”
Before, he also thought that this title should be just a gimmick, and the management was all inconspicuous and innocuous little things, but after taking over, he found that this was not the case.
Many of the cases in his hands were very important, so important that he was surprised that Xia Youguo really transferred part of the power to this little girl, maybe he really saved the preparation for this little girl to be in charge in the future.
He wanted to remind the girl of this, but seeing that she was really annoyed, he didn't say anything more, shook his head and walked out of the office.
Since that time, Lou Tang has not come to Xia Chunai, and Xia Chunai has not gone to him again, and the two of them suddenly fell into a cold war.
Two months later, in the last scene, the daughter of the Xiangfu and the woman of the cloth workshop were in danger at the same time, and the Xiangye finally recognized his feelings for the daughter, saved the woman of the cloth workshop without hesitation, and then jumped off the cliff with the daughter of the Xiangfu.
The woman in the cloth workshop was lying on the edge of the cliff crying sadly, the camera was pushed from far to near, the director felt that it was almost over, and shouted, "Card! ”
The camera cut all at once, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and high-fived each other to celebrate, the play was finally finished, I was tired for more than half a year, and when I heard the cry, several people looked at each other.
Xia Chunai, who played the woman of the cloth workshop, continued to cry on the edge of the cliff, heartbroken. Actors often enter the play, some stars entered a role too deeply, and later suffered from depression and had to quit the showbiz, but this Xia Chunai is only acting for the first time, and she just enters the play like this, which is a talent and may also be a danger.
The director personally went over to reassure, "Xiao Ai, you acted well, I hope you can cooperate in the future." ”
After the finale, there is a finale banquet, the director set six tables in the restaurant, the star director team sits at one table, and the other team members make a table, and the atmosphere on the table is very good.
Xinchen also heard that Xia Chunai was crying uncontrollably at the scene, and she felt that it was not so simple to find an opportunity to pull people aside and ask.
"I will follow the director team to promote in the next month, as the second female lead, you may also follow, has the company talked to you about the next itinerary, it has been completed, haven't you given you the follow-up arrangements?"
Xinchen felt that something was too wrong, she had been a star for so many years, and it was the first time she had seen this situation, and she didn't give any resources at all, and she didn't even find an assistant makeup artist for her agent, Xia Chunai did it all by herself, what the hell was Lou Tang doing.
Xia Chunai shook her head, not only did she not have any settlement at work, but even her personal feelings were a backwater.
"Xia Chunai!" Xin Chen shouted, "How can you not care at all now, you are far from your father, let me tell you, if you still don't care, your star journey may stop here." ”
Seeing her expression shaken, Xin Chen relaxed her tone, "Listen to me, now your fellow doorman, the one named Du Meiyun has received a new play, that is, the company must have other arrangements for you, you will go to the company tomorrow to find the general manager directly, if the other party does not arrange a play for you, you will find the director yourself, don't forget that you have money now, as long as you spend money to invest in a play, let the director indicate that you want you, and the company will not dare to do too much." ”
Xinchen's words can't be said to have no impact at all, when the finale banquet is over, Xia Chunai went home and was still thinking about it.
At the door, Maserati didn't know how long it stopped, the Lincoln car stopped, Xia Chunai got out of the car, and she was a little nervous.
"Congratulations on the completion of your first play."
Xia Chunai took a large bouquet of white roses and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”
Lou Tang took a step closer and reached out to help her straighten her wind-blown hair, but the latter subconsciously stepped back, avoiding his touch.
"Still angry?" He smiled, "I haven't come to you recently, there are many main reasons, first of all, your first play is about to be completed, you need to enter the state wholeheartedly, after all, this is your first work, and secondly, in order to avoid your grandfather from stirring up the situation, the necessary distance is good for you and me, and finally, I have no other way to go when I met Xia Lao's words that day." ”
Seeing her eyes widen, Lou Tang was a little helpless, "I didn't explain clearly enough?" Then I can explain it more clearly. ”
Xia Chunai shook her head, "I know what you said, but I suddenly realized that I was using you." ”
The latter chuckled and reached out to touch the soft hair of the person in front of him, "After all, I'm 7 years older than you, and you're the same person as me." ”
This is the end of the private conversation, and Lou Tang's tone became cautious, "Come to the office at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will discuss work with you." ”
"Discuss work, isn't it okay now?"
"Now discuss, soon one less chance to meet?"
reconciled with Xia Chunai, Lou Tang did not go home directly, but returned to the office and made a cup of strong coffee.
He still underestimated Xia Youguo, the other party knew what he cared about, and made the company lose hundreds of millions of yuan in bills, thinking that this would force him back, but he didn't know that this made him firm in Xia Chunai's recognition that it was indeed very useful.
The more the other party wants him to return, it can show how much the other party attaches importance to Xia Chunai, and if he loses 100 million orders, then Xia Chunai's value is definitely higher than 100 million.
He called his assistant, "Let Xinchen participate in a month's promotion of the new movie, and then combine the arrangement of her new play with the promotion of the movie, so that she can't take a break from other things." Hanging up the phone, he took a sip of coffee and pushed Xinchen away, many things were much easier.
At ten o'clock the next morning, Xia Chunai came to Loutang's office, and it was obvious that the other party was waiting for him.
"You don't need to attend this movie promotion."
"That's good." Xia Chunai was a little disappointed, after all, it was the first TV series, and she actually wanted to carry out national publicity with everyone.
Lou Tang continued: "The next arrangement the company gives you is to participate in a variety show, and the TV series will be broadcast after a month of publicity, and it just so happens that the time required for the variety show is also a month, and you will be able to increase your fame through this variety show." ”
Xia Chunai was a little surprised, took the information and looked at it, and was greatly surprised when she saw the cast, "Zhang Tianqing!" The first Chinese female star to win an Academy Award! ”
"That's right, this show is called "Big Name Sister", and the approximate way to participate is to invite some celebrities to do some things, similar to reality shows, and this time because Zhang Tianqing was invited, the degree of attention is very high, if you have no problem here, the corresponding public relations will start to unfold later."
Xia Chunai took a look, among the six people who participated this time, only she and Zhang Tianqing participated as actors, and the other four people all wrote singers in the notes, and she did hear about a few of them.
She was a little excited, after all, she hadn't seen Zhang Tianqing yet, and the first thing she knew was through a movie that the other party acted in with her father.
"Do you have any other doubts?" Lou Tang knew from her expression that the other party was very excited.
Xia Chunai calmed down slightly after being excited, "What about acting?" To put it bluntly, she was thinking about acting before, but she never thought about being on a variety show.
