Love Apartment: My Girlfriend Hu Yifei.

Chapter 87: The Star Scout Finds Lin Jingcheng (Two chapters merged and posted in the evening)
Under the questioning gazes of the crowd, Lu Ziqiao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

His eyes dodged, and after a long while, he stammered and said:
"I accidentally saw their advertisement when I was wrapping the ham in newspaper."

After saying this, as if eager to get rid of this awkward atmosphere, Lu Ziqiao quickly changed the subject, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and he said loudly:

"I'm going to have an interview tomorrow. Just wait and see. My brilliant acting career is about to set sail!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up excitedly, as if he had already seen himself standing on the shining stage.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a waiter carrying hot water walked slowly past Lu Ziqiao.

He jumped so suddenly and with such a large amplitude that the hot water that the waiter was holding steadily in his hand spilled out.

The hot water splashed everywhere like water and landed squarely on his calf.

"hot!"

"hot!"

"hot!"

"My leg hair!"

Lu Ziqiao's face changed instantly. He covered his calves tightly with both hands, jumped up and down, and shouted loudly. His funny appearance made people laugh.

Seeing this, Hu Yifei couldn't help but burst out laughing and said jokingly:
“It’s indeed time to pluck the hair.”

……

CHENGGUANG TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED.

The atmosphere in the spacious and bright conference room was serious and warm.

"Mr. Lin, regarding the food delivery software, after our R&D team has conducted rigorous tests day and night for tens of thousands of times, the software is now running very stably and all functions have reached the expected standards."

The director of the R&D department straightened his back and reported his work seriously to Lin Jingcheng who was sitting in the main seat.

Lu Zhanbo sat quietly next to their department director. As the main person in charge and core developer of this software, he knew the importance of this meeting, so he listened attentively.

Lin Jingcheng nodded gently, and his deep gaze was like a precise searchlight, instantly directed at the director of the marketing department.

The marketing director keenly noticed Lin Jingcheng's gaze and quickly stood up and said in a loud voice:

"Boss Lin, after all the members of our department worked overtime and forgot to eat and sleep over the past few days, we have successfully negotiated with 345 merchants, and the number of riders who have joined is currently around 2,000."

Lin Jingcheng has always been a man of vigorous and resolute style of doing things. In his plan, when a project is launched, all departments are like precisely moving gears and must operate efficiently at the same time.

Now that the food delivery software has been completed, the next step is to successfully put it on the shelves of major mobile shopping malls.

"R&D Department and Marketing Department, you two departments must properly arrange the connection between merchants and riders within three days."

"Not only do we help merchants and riders to successfully register for our company's food delivery software, but we also ensure that they can use it proficiently."

Lin Jingcheng's voice was firm and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Advertising department, remember to carefully arrange the publicity work, diversify the publicity channels, and increase the publicity efforts. We must let more people know about our food delivery software and increase its popularity and influence."

Lin Jingcheng continued to give orders in an orderly manner.

Everyone who came to the meeting knew Lin Jingcheng's style of doing things.

No one dared to neglect his instructions, and they all took out paper and pen to write them down carefully.

As soon as the meeting is over, they will immediately plunge into their intensive work.

This was Lu Zhanbo's first time attending the meeting.

Seeing Lin Jingcheng's serious expression, I couldn't help but compare him with Lin Jingcheng in the apartment.

It can be said that Lin Jingcheng in the company and Lin Jingcheng in the apartment are completely different people.

A serious person with rarely a smile on his face.

A smiling face that rarely looks serious.

"R&D department, your recent tasks are very urgent. The most urgent task is to maintain the food delivery software and pay close attention to its operation. Once any bugs or other problems are found, they must be modified and improved in a timely manner."

"As for the research and development of video software and other software, you should make reasonable arrangements based on your own work progress and actual conditions and strive to complete it as soon as possible."

Lin Jingcheng glanced at everyone in the R&D department and gave a serious warning.

Several people attending the meeting from the R&D department nodded in agreement, with firmness and determination in their eyes.

After some discussion, Lin Jingcheng looked around the conference room and said slowly:
"The Legal Department will stay. The others can leave first."

When Zhuge Dasheng and others from the Legal Department heard Lin Jingcheng's arrangement, they couldn't help but feel confused.

Although their department has had a lot of work tasks recently, they have always kept up with the work pace of other departments and have never slacked off, and the tasks are progressing in an orderly manner.

Now they were suddenly left alone, Zhuge Dasheng and the others looked at each other, all with faces full of confusion.

Did they make a mistake in their work?
But after thinking about it, I couldn't figure out where I went wrong in my work.

We should just wait and see what Mr. Lin says.

After the people from other departments left the meeting room one after another, Lin Jingcheng slowly spoke:
“Once the food delivery software goes online, it will definitely involve many complex disputes.”

"Your legal department is a little short of staff at the moment."

Having said this, Lin Jingcheng looked at Zhuge Dasheng standing beside him and said:

"Director Zhuge, when the time comes, please communicate and coordinate with the Human Resources Department to recruit more professional talents to enrich your department."

Zhuge Dasheng nodded and said:

"Boss Lin, this is no problem. Leave it to me."

"It's just... you deliberately kept our legal department here, it shouldn't be about this matter, right?"

The person in the entire company who has the best relationship with Lin Jingcheng, besides Lu Zhanbo, is Zhuge Dasheng.

She knew that it would not be so simple for Lin Jingcheng to stay in their department alone.

If it is just a simple matter of recruiting, it can be easily done with a sentence or even an email. There is no need to specifically leave their department alone and talk to them seriously.

Lin Jingcheng raised his lips slightly, showing a hint of approval to Zhuge Dasheng, and said:

"Director Zhuge is really smart. He kept your department here for more than just this matter."

"As you know, the R&D department has been working intensively on the video software."

"I plan to go to various major novel websites and film and television production companies to purchase a large number of their copyrights."

"After our video software is launched, we will put the purchased movies and TV shows on it to attract users."

"The copyrights of the novels we purchase later will also be gradually arranged for film and television adaptation and made into high-quality products of our company."

"This whole process will involve a lot of complicated contracts and copyright issues, so I need your legal department to help me write the relevant contracts as soon as possible to ensure that every link is legal and compliant and foolproof."

Lin Jingcheng has his own long-term plan in mind.

In the past, a hit movie or a best-selling novel could create hundreds of millions or even more astonishing wealth.

Lin Jingcheng knew the importance of copyright. If he did not plan ahead, these huge fortunes would be taken away by others.

It’s just like Boss Jia who always claimed that he would return to China but ended up going bankrupt.

Although his business suffered a severe blow, thanks to the copyrights of certain film and television works that he had purchased previously, his company's video software was able to support the entire company and many employees with these high-quality film and television resources.

Copyright - is a big piece of cake.

While everyone's copyright awareness is not very strong yet, Lin Jingcheng wants to make arrangements in advance.

"But, Mr. Lin... Based on my understanding of the market, the price of film and television copyrights is not a small amount of money."

"If you plan to buy in large quantities... the company has funding problems..."

Zhuge Dasheng frowned slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself, a hint of worry revealed in her eyes.

As an important member of the company, she has the responsibility to remind Lin Jingcheng to carefully consider the purchase of copyrights, after all, it involves a huge investment of funds.

As a friend of Lin Jingcheng, she was even more worried that Lin Jingcheng would get carried away and have too radical ideas, and then make blind investments and squander all the company's funds.

"Director Zhuge, I understand what you mean."

Lin Jingcheng understood what Zhuge Dasheng meant. He looked at Zhuge Dasheng and said, "I have discussed this matter in detail with the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance."

"They promised me that they would do their best to lower the price as much as possible."

"If they encounter a situation where they really can't suppress it, or the amount involved is extremely huge, they will communicate with me in time."

"As for the funding issue..."

Lin Jingcheng paused when he spoke here.

Then, Lin Jingcheng leaned back on the chair and said with a smile:

"money is not a problem!"

"If it doesn't work, I'll go borrow some from my dad."

Lin Jingcheng never thought about borrowing money from his father.

Copyrights are not valuable now, unlike in a few years.

The money I have and the company's working capital are more than enough to buy those copyrights.

Zhuge Dasheng: “…”

In the entire Chenguang Technology Investment Company, and even in the whole of Shanghai, there are only a few people who know Lin Jingcheng's specific identity, only two of them.

One is Zhuge Dasheng who is sitting next to Lin Jingcheng at this moment, and the other is Lin Jingcheng’s sister Lin Wanyu.

When Zhuge Dasheng heard what Lin Jingcheng said, the worry in his heart immediately dissipated a little.

After all, with the strong financial resources of the chairman of Lin’s Bank, it is not difficult for him to set aside some funds to support his son’s career.

The other employees couldn't understand the conversation between Lin Jingcheng and Zhuge Dasheng.

Mr. Lin’s family strength seems to be very strong?

Is there a mine at home?

But who cares!

Anyway, Mr. Lin is rich, and he has never treated them unfairly in the past few years of the company.

Even if there are some financial problems at that time, we will try our best to help Mr. Lin.

If nothing goes wrong and Mr. Lin makes money, their bonus will only be more, not less.

……

When Lin Jingcheng came out of the company, it was already past three in the afternoon.

All the work that needed to be arranged had been properly arranged, and he felt that it was time for him to relax.

Go to the bar downstairs for a drink?

Or ask Yifei out for a walk?

While Lin Jingcheng was thinking, he, wearing a neat black suit, just arrived downstairs of his company.

He looked up at the sky, and the warm sunlight fell on his body.

He was just about to stretch out in the sun to relieve the "fatigue" brought by today's work.

But before he could stretch his body, a man wearing a fisherman's hat, a gray windbreaker and a blue mask on his face came to him mysteriously like a ghost.

"Handsome guy, I'm a talent scout!"

The man introduced enthusiastically.

"You have such outstanding looks and handsome appearance, you are born to be a star!"

"Have you ever thought about entering the entertainment industry and becoming a star that everyone pays attention to?"

As he spoke, the man enthusiastically handed a business card to Lin Jingcheng.

The security guard standing at the company gate became alert when he heard the man's words. He was about to hurry over to help his boss drive away the uninvited guest, but was stopped by Lin Jingcheng's eyes.

"Oh?"

Lin Jingcheng raised his eyebrows slightly and took the business card handed over by the man.

"Scout?"

He glanced at the words on the business card and almost laughed.

Isn’t this the same agency that Ziqiao went to?

"Hong Tong Tong Entertainment Agency?"

Lin Jingcheng recited.

"That's right! Our Hong Tong Tong is the most famous agency in Southeast Asia!"

"I've been a talent scout for many years and have seen many handsome men and beautiful women, but this is the first time I've seen a handsome man like you!"

"I can guarantee that as long as you enter the entertainment industry, you will definitely become a big star!"

"When that time comes, the salary you earn from acting in any movie, TV series, or participating in any show will be more than what you earn working here!"

The scout spoke excitedly, as if he was afraid that Lin Jingcheng would not agree.

He didn't know Lin Jingcheng's identity and only thought that Lin Jingcheng was a white-collar worker working here.

It’s no wonder that if Lin Jingcheng is really a white-collar worker, he can make money much faster in the entertainment industry than working as a worker.

"real or fake?"

Lin Jingcheng asked uncertainly.

Star scout said:
"Of course! You should also visit blogs and forums, right?"

"You've also seen many celebrities earn tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars from a performance, right?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Lin Jingcheng "struggled" for a long time, but finally nodded:
"Okay, I'll go with you."

"Is this the address for me to go to your company for an interview?"

When the scout saw Lin Jingcheng agreed, he almost jumped for joy.

"Yes, yes! That's right!"

“That’s the address!”

Lin Jingcheng put away the business card and said:
"Okay, let's leave a contact number. When I get there, if there's anything I don't understand, I'll call you and ask."

The scout was so happy that he immediately gave out his phone number.

After Lin Jingcheng left the scout's phone number, he said goodbye to the scout and left.

The scout stayed where he was, looking at Lin Jingcheng's back.

His face, which was originally easy-going and full of smiles, now turned extremely sinister.

"Another big fish has been caught..."

After that, he took out his cell phone and made a call:
"The bait's on the hook, watch out over there."

"This is a big fish. I've been waiting here for several days."

I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone. After the scout hung up, he whistled and walked away slowly.

The four security guards at the door of Lin Jingcheng's company saw the change in the scout's expression just now.

After they exchanged glances, one of them said to the other three:

"I'll report to General Manager Lin."

The other three security guards nodded.
