This man knows how to hype

Chapter 96 Human Essence (2 more)
Looking at Xu Xiyu in front of him, Qin Weiwu actually felt very complicated.

In his opinion, Hu Ningtian didn't care about Xu Xiyu.

The fact was exactly as he thought, Hu Ningtian really didn't pay any attention to Xu Xiyu at all.

If he was paying attention, why would he need Zhao Yuchen's reminder to know what Xu Xiyu was doing in public opinion?
Since they are not paying attention, why are they making such a fuss here and asking Qin Weiwu to come forward and Ke Xinying to hire people?

Does this make any sense?

It actually doesn't make sense.

But, it’s meaningless.

What Hu Ningtian wanted was for this matter to seem to have no meaning.

Think about it, is it more powerful to let people do "meaningful" things or to let people do "meaningless" things?

Naturally it is the latter.

This is a way to discipline subordinates.

He just wanted his people to work hard on something that seemed meaningless, unprofitable, and even cost them money, just because of his orders.

In this way, after a long time, everyone only needs to do everything based on his orders.

"Be obedient, do as I tell you, and don't ask questions. Just do what I tell you to do. I won't manage you and I won't understand you." This is the effect Hu Ningtian wants to achieve.

Temporary losses or revenues were not within his consideration when arranging this matter. How much profit Xu Xiyu could bring was incidental.

It doesn’t even matter whether there is any profit or not.

Qin Weiwu and Ke Xinying actually knew this very well, but they had to pretend not to know it.

This is a bit like the tacit understanding between the emperor and his subjects in ancient times that "don't speculate on the will of heaven". It is a statement of "self-humiliation" to Hu Ningtian or his group.

This behavior pattern is really a bit different from that of ordinary people, and even a little incomprehensible, but they are indeed playing high-end games.

Therefore, they now have to find enough benefits from Xu Xiyu, at least it has to appear that there are benefits on the surface, so that this matter can be considered truly done well.

For them, the first priority now is to find a way to sign Xu Xiyu to Huaqing. And it has to be signed with relatively profitable terms.

After signing the contract, Xu Xiyu had to obtain Hua Qing's consent for any public activities, which was also the basis for many artists to be hidden.

Some unscrupulous companies will even let you sign a full contract so that you can’t even deliver takeout. Doing any work will be a breach of contract, unless you take the civil service exam.

In short, signing the contract will control Xu Xiyu and stop him from jumping around and making himself famous. There can only be one reason why he became famous, and that is because he was in love with Ke Xinying.

At the same time, as long as the contract is signed, it will be very easy to achieve the main task of Ke Xinying and Xu Xiyu falling in love.

The question is, how to get Xu Xiyu to sign the contract?

Two-pronged approach, carrot and stick.

Kill a few chickens in front of him, shock him, let Xu Xiyu feel Hua Qing's ability in the entertainment industry, and at the same time let him see the dirty side of the entertainment industry.

In addition, they also had to paint a rosy picture for Xu Xiyu, making him feel that he was particularly valued, in order to coax him into signing the contract.

Thinking of this, Qin Weiwu smiled and said to Xu Xiyu: "Xiyu, I came here especially for you this time."

"I'm flattered by your words." Xu Xiyu also laughed.

Qin Weiwu pointed at Xu Xiyu and laughed, "You are not honest."

"Boss Qin, where did this come from?"

"I think your expression of being flattered is fake, and your real feeling is that you are full of doubts. I can see that you are very resistant to me and our Huaqing people." Qin Weiwu laughed.

"No, no, you must have misunderstood." Xu Xiyu would not admit it. Some things are one thing for everyone to know, and it is another thing for you to admit it yourself.

“It’s normal to resist. Capable young people like you always have a bad impression of companies like ours.

I understand that you think we are all monsters who eat people without leaving any bones, and that we will squeeze you to death." Qin Weiwu continued with a smile.

After hearing this, Xu Xiyu did not reply, but waited for his next words.

“But have you ever thought about this question: if we are really like what people say, how can our company keep so many first-tier and second-tier artists?
There are many artists who have grown up with us from obscurity. If we were really ruthless, these people would have run away long ago.

We can't sign a lifetime contract with them and we can't get away with it, right? Xiyu, we value talents very much. Artists are not scarce, but good artists are. "

"Do you mean that I am a good artist?" "No." Qin Weiwu shook his head. It was too fake to say that Xu Xiyu was a good artist. He was not a fool. Qin Weiwu didn't think that such words could appease Xu Xiyu.

So, he added: "But you are a good artist seedling. Our Huaqing has been around for more than 20 years. In the past 20 years, I have seen countless newcomers. Do you believe that I can tell who has potential?"

"I believe this." Xu Xiyu said this sincerely. After being immersed in an industry for so many years, even a fool should have developed a keen eye, not to mention that Qin Weiwu looked like a shrewd man.

"Ever since I first saw the news online about you and Lv Qinyao calling the police, I've felt that you're a good candidate. Because you're naturally eye-catching. No one knew you at the time, but you were more eye-catching than Lv Qinyao."

"So it was your idea that Mr. Ke came to me?" Xu Xiyu asked deliberately after hearing this.

"Yes and no."

"How to say?"

"I did ask her to sign the contract. I really want you to join the Huaqing family. But I really don't have the ability to order her to date you."

His words surprised Xu Xiyu a little, because it was too straightforward to admit.

However, there was no change in Qin Weiwu's expression. He could see that Xu Xiyu was testing him.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have admitted it, but Xu Xiyu is a smart man.

In other words, he knew that even if he admitted it, Xu Xiyu would not believe it. Not only that, but all his previous "heartfelt words" and "goodwill words" would be rendered useless the moment he admitted it.

Even what you are going to say later will be treated as nonsense.

Thinking of this, Qin Weiwu continued: "Have you always been wondering why she wants to date you?"

"Indeed." Xu Xiyu nodded.

"I'm curious too." Qin Weiwu changed the subject.

Then he showed a gossipy expression, winked at Xu Xiyu and said: "If you know, please tell me if it's convenient. I'm really curious.
I don’t know if you understand, but Xinying has been single for a long time since her debut, and now she is inexplicably dating, this is simply bizarre!”

“???”Xu Xiyu.

Do not believe.

His first reaction was to disbelieve that Qin Weiwu didn't know.

But he had no reason not to believe it, because Qin Weiwu obviously couldn't make Ke Xinying fall in love with him.

So, it's normal if he doesn't know.

From this we can see Qin Weiwu's experience. What he wants is to get closer to Xu Xiyu, not to answer Xu Xiyu's questions.

Of course, he could come up with a lot of reasonable reasons to explain why Ke Xinying wanted to date Xu Xiyu.

But he couldn't do that.

Because any reason would help Xu Xiyu control Ke Xinying.

He wouldn't do that.

This is stupid.

Before Xu Xiyu could reply, Qin Zhengwu spoke again, "To be honest, if she hadn't told me this, I wouldn't have come here today to invite Meng Chengming and Lin Yang to dinner.

You said that if you signed with Huaqing, we would become a family. With your intelligence and the strength of Huaqing, why would you care about them and try to smooth things over?
Xiyu, don't blame me for gossiping, it's really too weird. If you know the reason in the future, please tell me if it's convenient. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone else, believe in my character. "

He took the opportunity to explain why he came here to treat people to a meal. He even took the opportunity to make a "secret agreement" with Xu Xiyu.

This is a good way to build closer relationships.

Because Qin Weiwu's status is high enough, the best way for a person of high status to get closer to people of low status is to make a "secret agreement", or even a secret agreement of "asking for something".

This makes people of lower status feel valued.

Of course, Xu Xiyu doesn't buy it.

However, he really couldn't think of any way to refute Qin Weiwu's words at the moment.

In fact, there is no need to refute it, as he is not here to participate in a debate competition.

We’ll see what happens after dinner tonight.
