97. Decide to sign a contract
After Liu Xiaofei left, Zhao Ruozhi stared at Ah Piao, his face was heavy but he didn't say a word.
Ah Piao was stared at by Zhao Ruozhi: "Why are you staring at me like this?" Is there anything strange on my face? β
"I'm going to see how long you're going to hide it from me?"
"What am I hiding from you?" Ah Piao said that he didn't know anything.
"Who is the largest shareholder of IR Films? You wouldn't be unaware, would you? β
"I thought you already knew." Ah Piao looked innocent.
"What do you think?" Zhao Ruozhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Ah Piao.
Ah Piao said, "Don't look at me like that. I didn't mean not to tell you. β
"Then you didn't mean to hide it?"
"What's going on with you today? Why are you giving me trouble everywhere? I had a good discussion with Liu Xiaofei, but why did I suddenly change my mind? β
Zhao Ruozhi stood in front of Ah Piao, and his tall figure gave Ah Piao an invisible sense of oppression.
"What's going on with me today? You forced it. Zhao Ruozhi was a little irritable and pulled his long hair behind his back.
Ah Piao didn't understand: "What did I force you to do?" β
"Even the largest shareholder of IR Film and Television didn't tell me who it was, so they wanted to trick me into signing the contract. If Su Xiaoyu hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known how long I would have been deceived by you. β
"How can you think that? The largest shareholder has nothing to do with our cooperation, he is only responsible for paying the money, and we will not have anything to do with him. β
"As long as it's related to him, I don't want to touch it." Zhao Ruozhi's expression was serious, Ah Piao had never seen her like this, and she had never asked about these things before.
"Would you like to be rational?"
"How do you make me rational? I've been talking about my boyfriend for almost two years, and a fiancΓ©e suddenly popped up, how can you make me rational? Zhao Ruozhi raised his voice, "Isn't it that I'm too good at talking, and you don't take me seriously?" β
"Not really. You can't think so. β
"So what do you want me to think? Is it that you colluded, one to squeeze my labor, and the other to deceive my feelings? Zhao Ruozhi's cheeks were flushed with anger, and tears were already rolling in his eyes, "He has already broken up with me, why doesn't he let me go?" β
βKatyβ¦β¦ You calm down. As I said, our cooperation has nothing to do with him. β
"Do you think that if I cooperate with Liu Xiaofei, my mood will be much better?" Zhao Ruozhi's eyes were red, and his tone was excited: "It's not that I don't ask, it's just that I have always felt that choosing a partner is what you are good at, and I just need to do my part." I trust you so much, you actually ...... ...... actually," Zhao Ruozhi choked up and couldn't speak.
"Not what you think." Ah Piao grabbed Zhao Ruozhi's arm and wanted to explain to her, but Zhao Ruozhi was so emotional that he didn't want to listen to Ah Piao's explanation at all.
"I never said a 'no' to so many jobs for me, and I was so busy that I almost died of stomach bleeding, and I never complained to you about anything. Because I always thought that I enjoyed so many quality resources, these are what I should do, so I always gave it my all.
"Acting well and being a qualified entertainer is my essential job. As for what companies to cooperate with and whose investment to receive, I don't want to ask, and I don't want to ask. But this time is different, I can't accept Zhouyi's investment. β
"Then are you going to accept Su Xiaoyu's investment? Are you going to be independent from my company and make your own? Then we will be competitors in the future. β
"Even if this is the case, even if the quality of my resources will decline and I will encounter a lot of trouble, I don't want to cooperate with IR Film and Television." Zhao Ruozhi's eyes were firm and unquestionable.
Ah Piao sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you that Zhou Yi is the largest shareholder, it's that he won't let me say it." β
"He won't let you say it?"
He knows that once he tells you that accepting Liu Xiaofei's cooperation is equivalent to accepting his investment, you will definitely not agree. So it doesn't matter if it's 10% of the shares, or whatever other conditions, as long as you are willing to cooperate, he can agree to any conditions you propose. β
"As long as it's his money, I don't want any of it."
"Katy, have you figured it out? Give up IR film and television to work with someone who doesn't even know the details? β
"He didn't leave me behind when the Empire State Building was terrorized. When I got lost in the woods and encountered a poisonous snake, he was the one who saved me. In view of this, even if I can't fully trust him, I should have expressed his two life-saving graces. Zhao Ruozhi paused and said, "Even if I completely trusted Zhou Yi before, what would it be?" Did I get any benefits in the end? And you saw it. β
"That's not what I meant." Ah Piao hurriedly explained, "At least Zhou Yi won't hurt you." β
"Will Su Xiaoyu definitely harm me?" Zhao Ruozhi clutched his chest with a faint pain, "Did Zhou Yi really not harm me?" β
After speaking, Zhao Ruozhi left Ah Piao's office without looking back, leaving Ah Piao alone in the office sighing.
After Zhao Ruozhi came out of Ah Piao's office, he immediately asked Su Xiaoyu to meet.
"I'm downstairs in your company, and I haven't left." Su Xiaoyu picked up the phone, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked an arc.
Zhao Ruozhi came out of the door of the office building, and a gust of wind blew through, blowing away her long hair.
The man stretched out a pair of broad hands and walked towards Zhao Ruozhi: "I'm glad to cooperate with you." β
"I'm happy too."
Zhao Ruozhi held Su Xiaoyu's outstretched hand, Su Xiaoyu gently pulled Zhao Ruozhi, and Zhao Ruozhi was caught off guard in front of a strong chest.
The male hormones passed through the thin shirt to Zhao Ruozhi's cheeks, making her heart beat faster and her face flushed.
"Let's go, I'll show you around your new office."
"Is the office ready? Are you so sure I'm coming? β
Su Xiaoyu smiled evilly: "Whether you come or not, I am ready for you." β
"Thank you."
"Thank me for what? Don't we have a deal? β
"yes, we have a deal." Zhao Ruozhi smiled bitterly.
Su Xiaoyu drove Zhao Ruozhi to the office. In the building, which looks inconspicuous from the outside, it has been renovated and has all kinds of facilities, just waiting for employees to move in.
"You come with me."
Su Xiaoyu led Zhao Ruozhi to an iron door that had been painted with black paint. The black iron door is at odds with the modern office atmosphere that surrounds it.
He opened the iron door with ease and pulled Zhao Ruozhi to a window. Thick curtains keep light out.
"Pull back the curtains and see." Su Xiaoyu stood behind Zhao Ruozhi and said.
Zhao Ruozhi obediently opened the curtains, and the setting sun dyed the white clouds in the sky orange, blending with the dark blue sky into a beautiful oil painting. ON THE TURQUOISE MOUNTAIN, HOLLYOOD HAS SEVERAL LARGE WHITE CHARACTERS DAZZLING AND EYE-CATCHING.
"Do you like it?"
Zhao Ruozhi looked at the scenery outside the window, and his heart was indescribably excited. How many actors dream of a place? She actually stood here like this, standing in this place that can be called a movie dream factory.
"I like it."
After a long time, Zhao Ruozhi calmed down his excitement and slowly said these two words. She felt like she was in a dream, and she couldn't believe she had just stepped onto Hollywood soil.
"This room is specially prepared for you, and no one can come in except you."
"Thank you."
Hot tears slid down Zhao Ruozhi's cheeks.
"It feels like a dream."
Su Xiaoyu hugged Zhao Ruozhi to his chest with a smile and said, "Do you hear my heartbeat?" β
The breath of a man permeates the small space.
Zhao Ruozhi listened to the rumbling sound in the man's chest, and finally nodded.
"So you're not dreaming. These are all true, and they are all gifts that I have prepared for you. β
"Thank you."
In addition to thanking, Zhao Ruozhi couldn't think of any other words to thank him.
"As long as you like it."
"I love it here." Zhao Ruozhi was hugged tightly by Su Xiaoyu, only feeling that his cheeks were hot and uncomfortable.
Zhao Ruozhi originally thought that he was just doing acting as a job, thinking that he could act again, and he was doing well on this road, relying entirely on luck.
It wasn't until she stood here, looking at Hollywood at sunset, that she realized that the little desire buried in her heart, which was almost invisible, was breaking through the ground.
She could feel the blood pounding against her eardrums, how long had it been since she had experienced that sensation of blood in her veins? So long that she couldn't even remember herself.
It was also in front of this small window that Zhao Ruozhi clearly realized that he really wanted to be an actor, carve his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and leave his own handprint.
That's how amazing life is.
Maybe at a certain moment, I found the meaning of my existence.
Zhao Ruozhi turned his head to look at the sky outside the window that was darkening little by little, and colorful lights began to light up on the land, illuminating a dark world again.
It seems that a bright light has been lit in her heart, guiding her forward.
"It's not early, I'll take you to see where you live."
"Do you have a place for me to stay?"
"The most valuable actress poached from Boss Fu must be received with the most generous conditions."
"Don't say that, I'm not that valuable yet."
"Anyway, I'm not here to make money, so how can I be happy." Su Xiaoyu has reverted to the appearance of a rich second-generation gentleman.
Zhao Ruozhi smiled and said, "It's good to be rich." β
"It won't be long before you're going to be the most expensive Asian actress in Hollywood, and you're going to be rich."
"Don't make fun of me."
"Seriously, have you figured out the name of your own company?"
"Lin's film and television."
While speaking, Su Xiaoyu had already taken Zhao Ruozhi to a villa area.
"Beverly Hills?" Zhao Ruozhi looked at the map positioning on his mobile phone and was startled by his location.
"This is one of my vacant properties, if you don't mind, you can live here first."
The meaning of the words is very obvious, Su Xiaoyu has more than one property, and he usually doesn't live here, so he will give it to Zhao Ruozhi to live.
"Don't you usually live here?" For the sake of insurance, Zhao Ruozhi still has to confirm it in person.
Su Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't mind if I live here......"
As he spoke, Su Xiaoyu had already locked the door of the villa from the inside.
