The weather is getting into July, which is relatively hot,

People who have free time often start to leave their homes and move around in the evening.

As a relatively well-known beverage brand, there is not a lot of traffic in the café, but most of them are packed away after buying at the counter, and few people sit down to talk.

However, almost everyone who enters the café will unconsciously look at a corner of the store.

"That sister over there is so pretty...... Is that a star? So white, put on a no-makeup cream. ”

"I haven't seen it, maybe it's some kind of Internet celebrity?"

"Please, it's not good-looking or a star or an Internet celebrity."

"But with such a temperament, it must be some kind of big blogger, right? I also wear a suit in the summer. ”

"What kind of successful person is you?"

Good-looking people are always easy to attract attention.

What's more, she is a beauty who is very decent and in place in terms of appearance, manners, and dress.

Some people in the café whispered, and some communicated face-to-face through chat software on mobile phones.

The kind of people who can talk loudly about others are still a minority after all.

And among them, of course, there are some people who are ready to move, planning to come forward and talk to them.

But soon, when their eyes fell on the opposite side of the cold white-skinned beauty, they instantly extinguished their intention to get up.

They couldn't see the straight face, it was a man who only relied on his back, and the words 'fierce', 'strong', and 'burly' were vividly embodied.

"It's kind of a marriage."

"You make your movie, and I'll take care of the post-production and publicity...... work, and you just need to do a good job as a director. ”

"We should be more like a business partnership than a marriage relationship, helping each other, but it will be closer."

Putting down the black teacup in her hand, Zhang Xueming calmly looked at Lu Zhengyi in front of her, "Although I said that, I ...... Arrogance, but I personally feel that I am still quite good in appearance, and in terms of personality, you should have been clear about the contact with you until now. ”

"If we're together, we'll be a good match."

"And we've been able to solve most of our troubles through this marriage."

Although in terms of purpose, it should be a confession and a marriage proposal.

But in terms of rhetoric, she is as always, inclined to cooperate and talk about business.

Zhang Xueming is not a little shy, or she yearns for love.

Of course, it doesn't seem to exist between them.

Compared to love, it is more like a comradeship in the same trench.

Lu Zhengyi looked at her and didn't speak.

It took him a long time before he picked up the juice in front of him and took a sip.

“…… To be honest, I wasn't surprised. ”

Lu Zhengyi spoke softly.

The moment he was suddenly 'proposed', he did not react.

But when I think about it, I take it for granted.

This is Zhang Xueming's style.

"I'm approaching my thirties now, although my family says ...... I didn't particularly urge my marriage, but occasionally I did mention a few words. ”

Zhang Xueming looked at Lu Zhengyi in surprise, and then smiled calmly, "As an only daughter, I will definitely get married after the right age." I'm sure you're the same, even though you're a few years younger than me, I don't think you can escape the fate of being talked about once in a while. ”

"Everyone is an adult, and what they say about love and love is not appropriate or believable. But for now, I have a good impression of you, if we want to get married, as two people, or the union of two families, it is more compatible. ”

"As you mentioned before, the problem of overseas line expansion, if it were just you, of course other people in the company would not make such a big bet. But if we get married, then the relationship will be different, and you will also be a part of the light and shadow, and I am sure that they will be happy to promote the development of overseas lines. ”

She pushed her chips out.

"Now that we've said what's good for me, what about the good for your light and shadow?" Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "I can't be the only one who profits, right?" If that's the case, I'm not afraid to say yes. ”

"Of course our light and shadow will be beneficial." Zhang Xueming replied seriously, "We'll get a ...... A director with great potential and a strange man with mysterious abilities. ”

Lu Zhengyi shook his head, "Don't expect me to use those powers beyond ordinary people to help you do something, some things can be done, but some things can't." ”

Zhang Xueming asked rhetorically, "But if I, or my family, encounter these things, and they are victims, you will always be willing to help your own people, right?" Get closer to you, at least in terms of safety, we can guarantee it. ”

Lu Zhengyi hesitated, "Okay, that's a little bit." ”

"And then there's the impact on our company's operations." Zhang Xueming said this, the smile on her face became bitter, "You should know that our company has recently begun to change the direction of its operations and operate in the direction of promoting those Internet celebrity bloggers, right?" ”

"I've heard you say that."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "What's wrong?" Got cheated by that new vice president? ”

"He wasn't caught, he ran it well."

Zhang Xueming was a little helpless, "But it is precisely because of the good management that the company's label began to be shaken." ”

"You should know, the chain of contempt in the entertainment industry, right? Veteran actors look down on traffic stars, traffic stars look down on the 18th-tier starlets, and stars who don't have coffee positions feel different from those Internet celebrities. Of course, there are those who make movies, those who don't like to make TV series, those who shoot TV series, and those who don't look down on online dramas. ”

"There are many chains of contempt, and some people who become popular in online dramas are often ridiculed as Internet celebrities, not actors. Our light and shadow is probably in such a situation now, and it is about to transform from the status of an old media company to an Internet celebrity incubation base. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, "Indeed, after the transformation, I made a lot of money. Our company began to gradually have its own output, and no longer needed to be as Party B as before, relying on the projects given by Party A to make profits. ”

"But the resources we have at our disposal are getting less and less, because the class has been lowered unconsciously, and many of them are 'running', 'yearning', 'wuha'...... and so on, almost cut off contact with us, and they didn't want us to cram the company's 'influencers' into it to increase exposure. ”

It's like a person who writes traditional literature, and one day suddenly discovers that online literature seems to be more profitable.

Therefore, he abandoned his original style of writing to learn new genres and new ways of writing.

As for the money, he did earn it.

But what kind of calligraphy clubs, ancient book appreciation meetings, and garden tours in the past...... activities, but he was never called again.

Although, in the eyes of others, the level of these things seems to be less important.

But the chain of contempt exists, and it is also obscure.

Those who have made movies and been on the big screen really don't look down on those who make TV series and online dramas.

Those who sing ancient songs don't look down on those who sing pop songs,

Bloggers on mixed video platforms feel that short video platforms are a group of Internet celebrities who produce videos without nutrition.

Light and shadow are now in such an embarrassing situation, if they find out later, they should have changed from an old company that can easily pull a place as a guest on a big variety show to an Internet celebrity incubation base that can only arrange bloggers under their hands to rub the heat everywhere.

"So you want to be able to rely on me, or my crew, to maintain your company's rank and status in the circle."

Lu Zhengyi understood what Zhang Xueming meant.

"Yes, I know your crew is basically formed." Zhang Xueming nodded, "It's called ...... The Plum Tanuki crew, right? A new name was registered. Like Chang Zhengwei, Yu Wenxiu, Zhang Yuming...... Such actors are all signed in your crew. ”

"But in fact, they don't have a role in every scene, so ...... In situations where your new play is not needed, they need to find their own audition opportunities. ”

"But if we get married, then in fact, Light and Shadow and your Plum Fox Cat crew are a family, we are a family, not to talk about two families, many things can actually be arranged."

As she spoke, she looked at the always calm face on the other side, and said seriously, "Even in a sense, as long as we get married, the company's film territory will be handed over to you, and you are the person in charge of this piece." ”

"Whether it is the selection and training of actors, or what publicity and filming arrangements do we need our company to cooperate with your crew, you can transfer many things yourself, instead of making an application through my side as before, which is win-win and mutually beneficial."

She's really just talking about business.

The benefits that Lu Zhengyi can get, the benefits that light and shadow can get, she spread it out.

People are about to write a project book - "About the goals that can be achieved after the further development of the Meici cat crew and light and shadow media"

Lu Zhengyi was silent for a long time and nodded, "Sounds good, it's quite exciting." ”

"Of course, before a large enterprise can succeed, it must go through various processes of acquisition and reorganization." Zhang Xueming had a smile on her face, "I believe that we can all take this opportunity to get the results we want." ”

She believes that the cooperation has been negotiated.

Not to mention Lu Zhengyi's client, even her as the proposer, she doesn't think that this cooperation has anything to harm the interests of both parties.

"Wife, I want to taste your share, just one bite."

At this moment, a male voice interrupted the conversation between the two.

Zhang Xueming looked up, and after ordering, a man and a woman did not pack and leave, but each took an ice cream and sat down in the seat in front of them.

“…… All right. ”

The female voice responded.

But soon, her slightly angry voice sounded, "Damn, you ate half of it in one bite!" ”

"Hey."

The man on the other side laughed cheaply.

Although they call each other 'husband' and 'wife', in fact, they don't look very old.

Compared with husband and wife, Zhang Xueming feels that they should be just an ordinary couple, and they are not so deeply connected.

"Okay."

But soon, Lu Zhengyi, who was sitting opposite, slowly spoke, pulling Zhang Xueming's attention back, "Just now you kept talking about the work of you and me after marriage. ”

"Then now it's my turn."

"I want to make sure, things about life."

Since people run marriage as a business, he doesn't mind.

Maybe it's going to be a long time coming.

"You're right, it's indeed that sentence, everyone is an adult, what do you love, what you don't love, it's a little empty." Lu Zhengyi continued, "According to your idea, to use a more straightforward explanation, it is probably to follow the rhythm of society and live together. ”

"So how to live this day, we still have to talk clearly, for example, through legal terms to bind, maybe it is more realistic."

"I mean, prenuptial agreements."

He took Zhang Xueming's brain circuit, and felt that it was a good decision, and put forward his own opinions.

Zhang Xueming was a little stunned, "...... Yes, pre-marital property appraisal is indeed required. ”

She was a little surprised that Lu Zhengyi accepted this matter so easily, and had already begun to think about what was going on.

"There is also the joint property of the husband and wife in the marriage, and how the responsibilities should be divided."

"Both families, the future ...... The child's problem. ”

"For some reasons, I am quite concerned about the aspect of responsibility, my responsibility as a husband, your responsibility as a wife, the responsibility of both parents, the responsibility of children, ......"

Lu Zhengyi spoke in a deep voice, and his face slowly became serious.

This is something that needs to be taken seriously.

Some past experiences made it impossible for him to ignore the existence of these responsibilities.

Pretending not to know, agreeing to it for the sake of a win-win situation in this business will be a hidden danger for the future.

Zhang Xueming: "......"

Sitting across from her, her face was slightly embarrassed.

Obviously, she didn't think much about things in her life.

"I'm sorry, I thought with the workload of both of us, these things should be downplayed." Zhang Xueming directly admitted her mistake, "But hearing you say that, maybe I really didn't think about it too clearly." ”

"You're right, we're both only children, and if we get married, it's impossible not to consider the children."

"It's me who thinks things simple, no, no, I should say, I don't think about it at all."

She was very frank.

What the two didn't notice was that the voices of the little couple in the front seat slowly quieted down.

"In addition to this, there are ...... Divorce. ”

Lu Zhengyi continued, "I think we should think about this in advance. ”

"If you get divorced, how can work and life be better separated, or life separated, but work is not separated."

"There is also the custody of the children, the expenses and the maintenance of the children to us in the future, the ...... of the inheritance"

"Poof."

When Lu Zhengyi said the word 'legacy', a voice was obviously heard from the front table.

Then the little couple got up and left as if they were running away.

“…… I didn't think it through, so I came to you in such a hurry. Zhang Xueming hesitated and withdrew her gaze from the backs of the fleeing couple, "Mainly, I think this is a good opportunity to promote our mutual development." ”

"But maybe, I'm really thinking too simply, so let's do it, I'll try to come up with a few plans when I go back, and you'll see when the time comes."

"Let's all think it's appropriate, let's talk about marriage again."

She had taken it for granted.

The business of marriage is different from ordinary cooperation.

In addition to work, marriage also has to be considered in terms of life.

Listening to Zhang Xueming say with a serious face, 'Come up with a few plans', Lu Zhengyi couldn't help laughing.

Although just now, he was a couple with their backs to the front table, but they could more or less guess what was going on.

These young people don't have to think about things together, or things that they have thought about, but deliberately ignored because of various pressures, Lu Zhengyi has thought about them.

"One more thing."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhengyi made another request, "Actually, I realize that now, you still know a lot about some things around me, and the people you know are quite familiar." ”

"But on the other hand, I don't seem to have met any of your friends."

"The most common one is your subordinate Xiao Wang, and I don't know about the rest. So if we're really going to get married, I'd like to get to know you a little bit about your network, and of course, if you need to know me, that's okay. ”

When she mentioned this, Zhang Xueming finally couldn't hold it back.

She took out her mobile phone and crackled on the screen, her face very embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not skilled in my business."

Zhang Xueming recorded in a notepad, "Interpersonal circles, prenuptial agreements, marital property distribution, and children...... Wait, I'll make a note. ”

"This is the first time I've talked about this kind of cooperation, and I really don't know what to think about and prepare in advance."

"Maybe a little unprofessional."

Generally speaking, when talking about cooperation, we must understand the needs of customers, so as to maximize our advantages in cooperation.

But in this matter, Zhang Xueming admitted that she was not fully prepared and not in place.

"And the parents of both sides have to meet each other."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her and tried to mention a little.

"Yes, yes, yes, what can be seen, what must be seen."

Zhang Xueming hurriedly typed on her mobile phone again.

"What about the wedding?"

Lu Zhengyi leaned back in his chair and said with a smile.

"Ah, there's a wedding, it feels so troublesome, get married."

Zhang Xueming's mobile phone screen was already full unconsciously.

Looking at her appearance, Lu Zhengyi was still in a serious mood, but suddenly he couldn't get serious.
