In addition to business partners, there were also representatives of the political circles, the Artists Association, the Quyi Artists Association, the Writers Association, as well as representatives of various associations and trade unions whose names Shen Tong had never heard of, and of course, many sisters and brothers from the church who came to attend the farewell ceremony. The square grew noisy and the visitors were dressed in solemn clothes, and black or white dresses soon filled the square behind the hall. The memorial service began at 10 a.m., and by 8 a.m., several hundred people had already gathered in the square.

There was little sadness on the faces of the visitors in the square, and everyone seemed to default to this occasion as an occasion to expand their network and exchange business cards or contact information with each other. Yang Qingran's girls are like oirans welcoming guests, shuttling between the small groups of people gathered in three or five.

Li Rui asked Meiya to take Mrs. Lin to rest in the seat under the black canopy, and he asked the rest of the family to take over the matter of greeting guests in the small square outside. These people are the people Shen Tong saw sitting with Li Rui in the small reception room yesterday afternoon. There was still some time before the memorial ceremony began, and according to the arrangement, Li Rui took Shen Tong back to the living room where he could overlook the entire square.

Shen Tong began to eat again, he spread the caviar on the roasted toast and put it in his mouth in one gulp. Close your eyes and feel the deliciousness of the roe burst between your teeth.

"Let's continue to talk about Xinwen Fatou," Shen Tong said while chewing on it, "I haven't heard you mention it to me and Meiya." ”

"I only recently came into contact with me, and I was asked out a few times. It is interested in our Tongrui business, and it seems that we want to talk about financing. And it's not the old man's relationship that pulls the strings. ”

"That's a good thing."

"Good thing...... Suddenly, there is such a powerful person who shows interest in our business, and he doesn't know each other, and the other party is so urgent. The husband is not responsible, and he is guilty. Until you understand the true intentions of the other party, you can't see them casually. ”

"If you don't meet, you don't talk, how can you get to know each other."

"Is the talk of the real thing? Rely on our own information channels. The most bottomless thing that strikes me is that in order to find us, he can let the people around us pass on the news. You don't think maybe we've been targeted. ”

Shen Tong didn't care, he continued to eat his roe roe toast, and said, "What you said is right, but it never hurts to make more friends." ”

"This is what Meiya and I are most worried about you, your kindness sometimes makes me feel naïve and terrible."

Shen Tong wanted to punch Li Rui, but when he looked at Li Zhi, who was standing not far away to answer the phone, he still resisted the impulse in front of others. Li Zhi answered the phone and walked in front of Li Rui.

"Mr. Rui, there is a temporary guest who wants to see you alone." Li Zhi reported to Li Rui.

"Isn't it on the list?"

"No. It is Fan Dan Fan of Jingdi Group, and a friend of hers. ”

"Is this time in time?"

"Except for Mr. Ma of Hetai and Mr. He of Xinwen Investment, there are no other guests. It's still early. ”

Li Rui rubbed his cheek with his little fingernail, glanced at Shen Tong, who seemed to be out of the way, and said, "Then please come in." ”

Jingdi Group is the largest film and television group company in the industry, with many studios and brokerage companies, many super first-line and first-line stars signed by it, and countless potential newcomers. In the industry, only enterprises under the national prefix can have the power to compete with it.

Fan Dan and Shen had a relationship with Li Rui. At the annual meeting of the cultural industry in a certain year, Fan Dan made an annual summary report of traditional media on behalf of the film and television industry, and she impressed Shen and Li Rui very deeply. There was a time when the two of them wanted to visit her, but they always failed to do so because of – in the words of Fan Dan's assistant – "work arrangements".

After Li Zhi went out, Li Rui stood up and tidied up his coat. He felt his throat feel a little dry, so he poured a glass of water and drank it all. He paced two steps beside Shen Tong and then returned to his seat and sat down. Shen Tong finally finished eating the few pieces of roasted toast on the coffee table and began to look at Li Rui.

"How?" Li Rui asked Shen Tong.

"What!" Shen Tong said.

In about five minutes, the door of the living room was opened by Li Zhi, and Fan Dan appeared at the door, followed by a sharp-eyed man. Unlike most of the female guests who came in Western-style dresses, Fan Dan wore a simple Chinese-style cheongsam, the black cheongsam was decorated with white buttons, although it was the most simple and ordinary style, and the height of the slit could be described as old-fashioned and conservative, but she couldn't hide her sexiness at all. Except for a delicate leather strap watch, only the silver cross necklace hanging around the neck is barely jewelry. Capable and elegant in her delicate and beautiful face perfect fusion, her beauty is a kind of grace, belongs to the precipitation of the precipitation of human feelings, is a kind of affinity and solemn intoxication, what is admirable is that this temperament belongs to a 32-year-old soul.

Shen Tong and Li Rui stood up at the same time to greet them, and they tacitly chose the same serious and slightly sad emotion. Fan Dan naturally walked up to Li Rui, hugged him politely, and whispered in his ear: "Mourning is good." ”

After hugging Li Rui, Fan Dan naturally walked up to Shen Tong and shook hands with him naturally, and said, "Mr. Shen." ”

Li Rui let Fan Dan and his party sit opposite Fan Dan on a long sofa, and he and Shen Tong sat opposite Fan Dan. Li Zhi closed the door at the right time, poured a cup of hot tea for everyone, and sat on the single sofa next to the four of them.

"Mr. Rui, Mr. Shen. It's been more than two years since we last saw each other, and time flies, so I didn't expect to meet again in this way. ”

"The world is changeable, and Mr. Shen and I have wanted to visit you a few times, but we have always failed to do so due to some reasons. Today is also a matter of mind. ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Fan is busy with affairs, and Mr. Rui and I always want to find an opportunity to visit and ask for advice."

Mr. Shen joked. In fact, I have been following you two for a long time, and you have always been leaders in the new media industry. I always want to find a chance, but there are so many things that I can't get out of it. But today I also fulfilled one of my wishes. Fan Dan let out a deep sigh.

Fan Dan continued, "When I heard the news of Li Dong's passing, frankly speaking, I really didn't sleep for a few nights. He is a respectable companion and a rare and reliable friend. Seriously, if it weren't for his guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today. He took me to do a lot of projects together, and he gave me careful guidance when I was a novice, and I have always regarded Li Dong as a life coach. Although in the end, we worked in different fields, so there was little intersection in business, but our relationship has always been very good. His sudden departure made me really sad and painful. Fan Dane's eyes turned red as he spoke.

"Mr. Fan, let's all mourn. I didn't expect my father to have such a relationship with you. Li Rui motioned to Li Zhi to hand Fan Dan a tissue, but he and Shen Tong did not believe that Fan Dan came to the memorial ceremony for such a simple reason as "grief and pain", nor did they believe that Fan Dan's grief was "true feelings".

After receiving the tissue handed by Li Zhi, Fan Dan nodded to him and thanked him, wrapped his fingers in the tissue and gently touched the corners of his eyes, and slowly sighed again. Silence then filled the small space.

Shen Tong looked at Fan Dan. Li Rui glanced at Shen Tong, and he felt that he had to say something to break the silence.

"Mr. Fan hasn't introduced this friend to you yet?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Fan Dan adjusted his emotions, "Last year, there was a very coincidental opportunity, I was finally able to plan a case with Li Dong, and we jointly launched a project, led by Li Dong, to build a film and television industry base here in Dapeng Bay, with the goal of making a super location center composed of Class A and Class B studios like Hengdian." The land for the industrial base has been approved in the third quarter of last year, and the investment promotion work has also been promoted. Because it was led by Chairman Li, we were all relieved, so I didn't worry about the details. Now that such a change has suddenly ushered in, these trivial matters may have to be rearranged and re-planned. ”

"Mr. Fan, the chairman has always respected Mr. Rui's personal ideas and supported Mr. Rui to start his own business, so Mr. Rui has only recently become familiar with the things in the group. The Pengwan Cinema project you just talked about had a meeting with the senior executives of the group a few days ago, and I also reported to Mr. Rui himself, and everyone's opinions are unanimous. However, due to the excessive need for project docking, some matters need to be re-evaluated and audited, and then a set of practical implementation plans can be formulated, so that our projects can have a soft landing. ”

"How long is this cycle?" Fan Dan asked.

"It won't be long, I promise." Li Rui said, "It will not affect the overall time node of the project, and there is no need to stop the things that are already in progress, and we just need to adjust the personnel arrangement." ”

Fan Dan nodded and said, "I believe that Mr. Rui will definitely inherit the mantle of Li Dong." She glanced at the man next to her for a short time, and continued to say to Li Rui, "This is an independent producer friend of mine, a very talented director, who recently got a good book and is launching a project at the Internet University. ”

"Mr. Fan is such a talented person, why don't you include such a friend under your command." Shen Tong's sensitive nerves suddenly beat, and he was still calm on the surface. Fan Dan smiled without saying a word, she relaxed her upper body and leaned back on the back of the sofa.

"In fact, we independent producers are more important than the word independent, do not depend on capital, and do not compromise with any factors that affect production. This is the insistence of our independent producers. The man spoke, "Although Fan and I have always been good friends for many years, our philosophies in the professional field have always been contradictory. So now, in Mr. Fan's eyes, I am still a guerrilla who changes places with one shot, and I am proud of myself in my own circle. ”

"What you say yourself is better than what I say." Fan Dan added with a smile.

"Haha." The man laughed dryly twice and continued: "Although cooperation is unlikely, I know that Mr. Fan has a wide circle of contacts and many friends. I heard that there will be a lot of industry insiders here today, so I didn't invite you. Contemptible Koo, this is my business card. He got up and walked in front of Shen Tong and Li Rui, Shen Tong took the business card he handed over, and Li Rui waved his hand and let Li Zhi take it. Ke Ao looked at Li Zhi's disdainful gaze when he took the business card, and then looked at Li Rui who was sitting firmly on the sofa, Li Rui did not look at Ke Ao, but looked at Shen Tong with interest.

Ke Ao retreated to the sofa he had just sat on with some embarrassment, and said more dryly than just now: "If you two can have some time, I can introduce you to the basic information of this project." ”

Li Rui didn't look at Shen Tong now, he was obviously angry, and put down the teacup in his hand. Shen Tong laughed, pinched Ke Ao's business card, and looked at Fan Dan who continued to drink tea. Li Zhi walked to the door of the room at the right time.

Fan Dan drank tea, her expression was a little embarrassed, and she was embarrassed to look at Shen Tong or Li Rui now. Only Ke Ao looked confused, he knew that the atmosphere was very wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"Otherwise, so be it. Mr. Rui," Shen Tong said, "Mr. Fan is also very kind, let's make an appointment later, is it okay, Mr. Fan?" ”

"Okay." Fan Dan got up, Shen Tong also stood up, stepped forward and shook hands with Fan Dan politely.

Ke Ao hurriedly got up at a loss, he still wanted to say something, Li Zhi behind him said: "Mr. Ke, since the chairman passed away, Mr. Rui has been doing his best to deal with his old man's aftermath during this time, and there is almost no rest, it is better to listen to Mr. Shen's advice and make an appointment after a while." ”

"Mr. Rui," Fan Dan took over, "Dong Li is really my most respected friend, please accept my apologies again." ”

After listening to Fan Dan's words, Li Rui stood up, walked up to Fan Dan and hugged her politely, saying, "You are also a respectable friend. ”

"Don't be overly sad, and mourn freely." Fan Dan patted Li Rui's back.

Under the eyes of Li Rui and Shen Tong, Fan Dan left the room. Until he left the room, he was still wondering what was wrong with him. Fan Dan's back was cold, he felt Fan Dan's indifference, but he didn't know what made her and Li Ruishen and them collectively unhappy. Fan Dan didn't say a word to Ke Ao again, and left Ke Ao in the hall and walked to the square by himself.

In Ke Ao's heart, he never knew what respect was.
