Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

For something like inspecting a new company, Li Shuo, as the boss, naturally wanted to have the most impressive parade. But the embarrassing thing was that there were only a few cars in the Beijing branch of Shuoguo Culture, and the best was only a Mercedes-Benz.

Fortunately, Li Shuo was not the kind of person who cared about appearances, so he took Wei Shuting with him and headed straight for Qianyu Times with a small entourage.

"Qianyu Times is headquartered in Dongcheng District, Beijing. It has long-term leased 5 floors of office buildings with a total working area of ​​more than 3000 square meters..."

Listening to Wei Shuting's introduction of Qianyu Times, Li Shuo laughed: "Doesn't that mean it's even bigger than Shuoguo Culture's Beijing branch? Tsk, maybe in the eyes of the outside world, we have accomplished a feat of swallowing an elephant?"

Wei Shuting smiled and said, "That can't be said. After all, everyone in the industry knows that Shuoguo's roots are in Lenghai, and this place in Beijing is just a branch of a subsidiary."

"I'm just afraid that some low-level people don't understand these things..."

Li Shuo said this casually. What he didn't expect was that there were indeed "low-level people" in Qianyu Times, and there were quite a few of them...

……

At the Qianyu Times headquarters, Zhu Mingyu was also extremely busy: the company's new boss was coming to inspect, so he naturally had to make preparations. It was essential to get all of the company's top artists over. To this end, he had been calling those big names one by one since the morning.

When Li Shuo and Wei Shuting started to set off, Zhu Mingyu had just notified everyone and asked the secretary again:
"Is everyone here? I should have notified everyone, right?"

"Boss Zhu, all the contracted artists and executives of our company currently in Beijing have been notified...but..."

The secretary nodded first, then said weakly: "Sister Xu and Wang Ruoran, who she is in charge of... haven't replied yet..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Mingyu's brows twitched violently. Of course, he was not the only shareholder of Qianyu Times. The second largest controlling shareholder was Sister Xu. Her full name was Xu Huixin. She was an extremely powerful agent in the Beijing circle. Mainland artists like Cao Ying were actually contacted and signed by Xu Huixin.

Her artist Wang Ruoran is one of the four little beauties together with Liu Tianxian, Huang Damien, and Yang Xiaomi. Moreover, Wang Ruoran signed a traditional S contract with Qianyu Times. It can be said that she is the real trump card and face of Qianyu Times!
The second largest shareholder and the trump card of the facade did not come, so how could Zhu Mingyu save face? Without saying anything, he directly called:
"Sister Xu, my dear aunt, why are you angry with me at this time? Didn't I discuss this with you? Qianyu Times needs new capital injection, otherwise our company will not be able to survive..."

"I know you would rather work with Zhou Huanian, but Li Shuo is actually not bad either. I have a feeling that he will be a giant in the industry in the future. Even Li Shaohong treats him with courtesy..."

"What? My hunch is useless?! Auntie, you can ask around yourself. Shuoguo Culture is not completely unknown... Yes, yes, yes, I know that its influence is currently mainly concentrated in Lenghai, but we have to look at the future..."

"Sister Xu, since we have known each other for many years, if you have anything to say, please come and say it in person, okay?"

Zhu Mingyu finally persuaded Xu Huixin, but the latter made a slightly excessive request...

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Mingyu sighed, and the secretary asked softly: "Sister Xu agreed to come, right? Will Wang Ruoran come with you to attend the signing ceremony?"

Zhu Mingyu said unhappily: "Keep your mouth shut, I didn't say there's a signing ceremony today!"

The secretary was his confidant, and said nonchalantly, "In my opinion, the conditions offered by Mr. Li are already very good. Sister Xu is too rigid and only recognizes powerful people in traditional circles. She doesn't even realize that this is the Internet age. In my opinion, if Sister Xu can't keep up with the times, even if Wang Ruoran is as beautiful as a fairy, without the support of popular works, her future celebrity status will only be reduced step by step..."

"Hush, be silent!"

In fact, what the secretary said was not the main point. The reason why Zhu Mingyu was willing to cooperate with Li Shuo, in addition to being intimidated by Li Shuo's momentum last night, was another important reason, that is, there was a clause in the contract about share exchange. What was given away were the shares of Qianyu Times, and what was received were Zhu Mingyu's personal shares...

At this time, the subordinate came over and said, "Boss Zhu, Boss Li's car will be downstairs soon..."

Zhu Mingyu was cheered up and immediately called all the executives to go downstairs to greet them!

To outsiders, Qianyu Times is actually one of the top domestic brokerage companies. It is located in the core area of ​​the commercial district, with a large plaza area downstairs.

Zhu Mingyu led a group of executives in suits downstairs. Before he saw Li Shuo's car, he saw Xu Huixin's car driving over...

"Boss Zhu, why are you coming downstairs?"

Seeing this, Xu Huixin immediately misunderstood. She got out of the car with a smile on her face and grabbed Zhu Mingyu's hand: "Hey, we are all family, do we really need to welcome you like this?"

At this point, he slapped his forehead again and said in sudden realization, "Oh, by the way, you are welcoming Ranran, right? Haha, Ranran really suffered this time. During the filming of "Du Lala", you can't imagine how hard she worked. This girl is aiming to defend her title. This year, if she can win the Magnolia Best Actress Award again, she will be the only actress in China to win this honor!"

Zhu Mingyu's smile was a little awkward, but of course he couldn't expose it on the spot, so he just nodded in agreement. Then Wang Ruoran got out of the car. This young actress, whose reputation and fame even surpassed Yang Xiaomi, greeted everyone with a warm smile.

Taking this opportunity, Zhu Mingyu pulled Xu Huixin and whispered, "Sister Xu, didn't I just tell you that Li Shuo is coming to our company for an inspection..."

Xu Huixin was a seasoned expert, and she immediately realized that she had misunderstood. She immediately became very unhappy:

Li Shuo's investment in Qianyu Times will dilute a large number of her shares, not only reducing her from the second largest shareholder to the third, but also greatly reducing her voice.

Secondly, this was inconsistent with Xu Huixin's future plans. Zhou Huanian had always been interested in Wang Ruoran, and she wanted to make this happen, but there were some twists and turns: Wang Ruoran was one of the four little beauties and a top star, so she was naturally not happy to be subservient to Zhou Huanian. Therefore, Xu Huixin deliberately pushed Zhou Huanian to take over Qianyu Times: He became the boss of the company, so you should succumb to power, right?

"Boss Zhu, Boss Li's car is here!"

At this time, Zhu Mingyu's secretary reminded everyone and drew everyone's attention to the car that was slowly driving in front of them... "Mercedes-Benz? And there is only one?"

Xu Huixin's mouth twitched, and she almost laughed out loud. She even wanted to turn around and ask Zhu Mingyu: Is this what you call the Lenghai boss, the new upstart in Beijing? Is this the person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Huanian?
Even Zhu Mingyu and many of his senior executives frowned: Qianyu Times is one of the best companies in the industry, and the starting car for its senior executives is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class!
What is even more eye-catching is that the car Xu Huixin was driving was a pure white Bentley Mulsanne. The car had a stylish and beautiful appearance. Compared with the Mercedes-Benz S350 that happened to be parked behind it, the Mercedes-Benz suddenly became a little brother and had no luxury car style at all.

Even Zhu Mingyu couldn't help but complain in his heart at this time: Mr. Li, Mr. Li, you are such a powerful rich man, why did you come here in such an "ordinary" Mercedes-Benz? That's fine, but as the new CEO, you came to inspect the company, at least get a fleet of cars? Your Shuoguo Culture is also a well-known company in Beijing!

No matter what others think, Li Shuo doesn't care. He can be grand or casual, everything depends on his own preferences and convenience!
Of course, Li Shuo also had some regrets. As soon as he and Wei Shuting got out of the car, his eyes immediately caught sight of Wang Ruoran standing next to Zhu Mingyu. Well, there was actually Xu Huixin in between, but Li Shuo automatically ignored her!
Because she was going back to the company, Wang Ruoran not only did not wear sunglasses, but also did not put on too much makeup. Her youthful and elegant appearance, and her tall figure stood out there, making her the visual focus of all men.

Li Shuo first saw the rare T0-level beauty and was instantly stunned. Then he took a closer look and thought, huh? Isn’t this that so-and-so…

Unfortunately, he was not a fan of Wang Ruoran in his previous life, so he didn’t recognize her at first. He just felt that her face was familiar and thought she must be a little star.

"Ahem, Boss, Mr. Zhu is here..."

At this time, Wei Shuting whispered a reminder in his ear, and Li Shuo immediately retracted his attention and reached out to Zhu Rongjun...

"Haha, welcome Mr. Li to visit Qianyu Times..."

"Boss Zhu, we are all family from now on, no need to be polite..."

"Mr. Li is talking about... Let me introduce you to this person, Xu Huixin, a famous agent in the industry and a shareholder of Qianyu Times..."

"Hello"

Li Shuo didn't even recognize Wang Ruoran, so he naturally didn't know Xu Huixin, so he just exchanged pleasantries normally, and then Zhu Mingyu introduced other people...

Xu Huixin was unhappy with Li Shuo, and seeing that she didn't take her seriously, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows fiercely, then pulled Wang Ruoran and retreated behind the crowd: Zhu Mingyu asked them to be present, and now that they are here, there is no need to introduce their own trump card to Li Shuo.

Li Shuo didn't notice this, but after Zhu Mingyu finished introducing the executives of Qianyu Times, he suddenly remembered: Where is the beautiful little T0 star just now?

However, in this public occasion, Li Shuo naturally could not ask Zhu Mingyu to introduce him again. Everyone then entered the office building and came to the floor where the core department of Qianyu Times was located.

"Thank you, President Zhu, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to invite you all here. This really opened my eyes... I've heard that Qianyu Times is full of stars, and seeing them today, they are indeed extraordinary..."

Li Shuo was being polite when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wang Ruoran again, and also saw Xu Huixin standing next to her.

So he changed the subject and smiled at Xu Huixin, "I just heard from President Zhu that President Xu is the second largest shareholder of Qianyu Times. How come he is standing so far back..."

Zhu Mingyu was stunned at first, then he saw Xu Huixin and Wang Ruoran beside her, then he realized something and hurriedly called out: "Yes, Sister Xu, we will be the closest partners in the future, we should get closer... And Ruoran, aren't you going to compete for the Magnolia Award? Come on, come and meet Mr. Li..."

To be honest, Zhu Mingyu would not speak like this on a normal day. Not only is he very caring towards his artists, but he will also step forward to stop them when they encounter problems like unspoken rules.

Especially to Wang Ruoran, she is Xu Huixin's artist and has almost no interaction with Zhu Mingyu in daily life. He said this as if he was pimping, purely out of kindness. The "Magnolia Award" is an artist award created by the Lenghai circle, which is Li Shuo's traditional sphere of influence!

But this made Xu Huixin angry. She grabbed Wang Ruoran's hand, looked at the two men warily, and said with displeasure: "The contract hasn't been signed yet. It's still unclear whether this man can become a shareholder of Qianyu Times! Besides, the Magnolia Award is such a big award. Just based on him... hehe..."

He looked Li Shuo up and down with eyes full of contempt.

"Sister Xu..." Zhu Mingyu smiled bitterly and explained to Li Shuo: "Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Li, our original shareholders' meeting did not agree..."

Li Shuo raised his hand to stop Zhu Mingyu from saying the next thing. He looked at Xu Huixin and smiled: "Sister Xu seems to have any opinions about Shuoguo Culture's investment. You might as well make it clear. As you said, the contract has not been signed yet. Everything is still in time..."

Xu Huixin raised her eyebrows. She was going to endure it in front of so many people, but after Li Shuo said that, she naturally had no scruples:

"First of all, Mr. Li, you look very young. From what I have heard of Shuoguo Group and Shuoguo Culture, they are both very young start-ups. Your scale is not even comparable to Qianyu Times. How can you help Qianyu get out of its current predicament?"

Li Shuo answered without thinking: "What Sister Xu said is only part of the truth. Although my company and I are very young, if we look at the revenue, Qianyu Times cannot compare with Shuoguo Group, let alone Shuoguo Culture!"

"To put it simply, the Shuoguo system can make money and has strong profitability. Does Qianyu Times have this?"

"The answer is no. If there was, Qianyu Times wouldn't have to raise funds from outside! In addition, what supports a company is always the purest capital, that is, cash flow. Sister Xu, didn't you read the contract? I personally and the Shuoguo Group will invest a large amount of cash in Qianyu Times within a week after the contract is signed!"

This statement is very business-like and implicit. When translated, it actually means one thing: I can kill you with money!
Xu Huixin pursed her lips, and after a long while she sneered, "Okay, you have money, right? Then how can you guarantee a good future for Qianyu Times?"

"This will be a long speech about the company's future decisions and its development direction. Are you sure you want me to talk about it here, Sister Xu?" Li Shuo asked back.

"I can just talk about one point, for example, the development of Qianyu Times in the next month. I previously suggested that Mr. Zhu discuss financing with Zhou Yi Company because Zhou Yi Company can provide Qianyu with a large amount of resources in the industry..."

This time, before Xu Huixin could finish her words, Li Shuo interrupted her and asked, "Zhou Huanian? What specific resources can he provide?" (End of this chapter)
