Chapter 1045: Crying in the Stairwell
After returning from Northeast China this time, Suning decided to move the headquarters of Phantom Culture to Shanghai. It always felt that the business atmosphere in the old city was not that strong.

As for Phantom's agency, it will still remain in Chongqing. After all, the discoveries in the mountain city are obvious to all, and Zhang Lisha is a very stubborn woman who is unwilling to return to Shanghai.

Of course, Suning understands Zhang Lisha's complex mentality very well. After all, Shanghai, the magical city, is a hurt to her, and it is likely that this hurt will never be erased in her lifetime.

So Suning did not force this beautiful woman of his. As long as she was willing to stay by his side steadily, there was no need for him to turn her into another Youyou.

"Mr. Xu, someone claiming to be Mr. Lin's secretary wants to see you?"

"Oh? Then bring it to the reception room."

"Yes! Mr. Xu."

Suning had long anticipated that this day would come for Mr. Lin. After all, the super factory had already confirmed many things, which naturally made Mr. Lin's original doubts a joke.

After meeting Mr. Lin's trusted secretary again, Su Ning laughed heartily as if nothing had happened. "Haha, Secretary Zheng, it's been over a year since we last met, hasn't it?"

"Yes! Ever since you left Guangzhou more than a year ago, Mr. Xu, we haven't had time to sit down and talk."

"Well, how is Mr. Lin doing recently?"

"Very good! I came to your Phantom Culture headquarters this time because Mr. Lin asked me to scout ahead for him."

"Secretary Zheng, is Mr. Lin coming to Shanghai on a business trip soon?"

"There's an important meeting in Shanghai recently, and Mr. Lin wants to come and inspect your Phantom while attending the meeting."

"Sure! We at Phantom Culture will definitely provide a good reception. If you have any special requests, you can send someone to discuss it."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for supporting our work."

"Secretary Zheng, you're welcome."

The fact that a political leader like Mr. Lin is willing to come to Phantom for an inspection in person shows that he has truly accepted the reality. After all, Phantom Culture and Ningshan Capital are not as unknown as he imagined.

Especially this time, the dispute over the new energy vehicle super factory has completely become Mr. Lin’s obsession that he will never be able to get rid of throughout his life. You know, all of this was originally his political achievement.

However, just because of an unnecessary question and pretentiousness, he did not expect that it would cause such a big reaction from Suning and Ningshan Capital. To be honest, Mr. Lin's heart was full of regret and frustration.

A few days later, Mr. Lin came to Phantom with a large group of subordinates, and then began the journey of easing the relationship between Mr. Lin and Suning.

"Mr. Xu, I don't need to introduce this person to you. You should know him as Wanda's Chairman Wang."

"Mr. Lin, I know Mr. Wang, a wealthy man." Su Ning tried his best to maintain a smile on his face and nodded to Mr. Lin. Then he turned to the wealthy man Wang and extended his right hand. "Hello, Mr. Wang! I am Xu Huanshan from Phantom Culture."

"Hello, Mr. Xu! I've been hearing about a big name emerging in the entertainment industry recently, and today I finally got to meet him thanks to Mr. Lin's introduction."

"Mr. Wang, you're welcome! Mr. Lin, please come in."

In fact, there is not much worth investigating about Phantom Culture Company. Anyway, anyone with insight can see at a glance that Mr. Lin is being humble and asking for help, so after a brief inspection, they get down to business.

"Mr. Wang, as a giant in the domestic entertainment industry, Wanda must provide ample support to emerging companies like Phantom Culture!"

"Mr. Lin, don't worry! We at Wanda will definitely cooperate more with Phantom Culture in the future."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin and Mr. Wang, for your concern."

"Mr. Xu, you're welcome! If you have any unresolved problems in the future, feel free to contact Secretary Zheng directly."

"Okay! Mr. Lin."

Although Suning really looked down on people like Mr. Lin in his heart, what was obviously a mutually beneficial and great thing was ultimately ruined by his self-righteousness.

The mess left behind still needs to be cleaned up by Mr. Lin himself, so it will not be easy for the two parties to negotiate next time. Naturally, the sincerity that Mr. Lin shows this time needs to be more weighted.

When Su Ning and Mr. Lin were the only ones left in a secret private club, Mr. Lin sipped his tea and said, "Mr. Xu, let's get straight to the point today. What conditions do you, Ningshan Capital, want?"

"Mr. Lin, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"We had already reserved a factory area for your Ningshan Capital in Nanhai District in the early stage. Now you have suddenly built a super factory in Wuhan, which naturally puts us in an awkward position."

"But from what I understand, your Nanhai District site seems to be reserved for Tesla's second Gigafactory, right?"

"It's just a rumor! It's not credible."

"Also, I heard that Hengtai Group has always wanted this piece of land. I think it won't be a big problem even without Ningshan Capital."

"No! Hengtai Group is just a real estate company. Their new energy vehicle project is just a smokescreen. These termites are just trying to transfer Hengtai's assets."

"Mr. Lin, logically I should give you this favor, but our Qinglong Auto Super Factory has already started production. Even if we want to accept your Nanhai District, we are powerless."

"Mr. Xu, isn't Ningshan Capital also going to develop a fuel vehicle project?"

"Oh! You must be talking about the Suzaku fuel vehicle manufacturing plant. To facilitate future management and save costs, the Suzaku fuel vehicle project is still located in Wuhan."

"This……"

"Mr. Lin, if you really want to trust us, why not transfer this piece of land in Nanhai District to us as the site for our second Gigafactory?"

"Oh? Ningshan Capital is about to start considering the second Gigafactory?"

"That's right! In fact, the new energy vehicles we produce in Wuhan are battery-powered. We will also increase the production of new energy trucks in the future. We have also made some progress in hydrogen-powered vehicles, so the next step is to use hydrogen energy technology in our second Gigafactory."

"Mr. Xu, are you serious?"

"Huh? Mr. Lin, although I share the same last name as Mr. Xu from Hengtai Group, I'm not a talker like him."

"Okay! I will give you an answer within three days, Mr. Xu, and I promise that the last time I didn't trust you will never happen again."

"Mr. Lin, we at Ningshan Capital actually understand your situation. After all, this type of investment is a major matter that affects millions of households. However, we at Ningshan Capital truly do business with sincerity."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your understanding. I hope Mr. Su will say good things about me."

"Mr. Lin, don't worry! Ningshan Capital will appoint you as the president of Ningshan Capital Asia. The business of Qinglong Automobile and Suzaku Automobile will also be under my management."

"That would be great. I hope we can have more cooperation."

……

With the establishment of the Qinglong Automobile Super Factory and the Suzaku Automobile Manufacturing Factory, Ningshan Capital has become the most prominent investment company in Asia, and everything has become more and more incredible.

At this time, not only did Mr. Lin change his attitude towards Ningshan Capital and Phantom Culture, but Suning also became a guest of honor for domestic bigwigs from all walks of life.

Especially after Ningshan Capital announced that Suning would become the president of Ningshan Capital Asia, no one could ignore Suning's position in the business world. "Huanshan, why don't we remarry?"

"Gu Jia, I own a large forest now. Do you think I should give up the hard-earned life I've lived?"

"As long as you don't go too far, I can actually turn a blind eye."

"Forget it! I think you should just keep your eyes open. There's no need for you to pretend to be deaf and dumb for me."

"Huanshan, Ziyan is too young to live without his parents. For Ziyan's sake, we must learn to accept each other."

"Haha, then tell me what is excessive?"

"The last time you went to the Northeast, you enjoyed the women you had that night. As for the Phantom Dance Troupe, it's best to disband it. At the very least, don't have any new women."

"I can't do that! Besides, I feel like I'm in a pretty good state right now. There's really no need to mess around with anything else. It doesn't feel good to be secretly monitored by you every day."

"I……"

"Gu Jia, I know what you want most, and I'm willing to help you achieve your wish, but there's really no need to remarry."

"Alright! You must promise to be responsible for the future of Zi Yan and me. No matter how many women and children you have in the future, you must never let Zi Yan's interests be harmed."

"Don't worry! I'm not an irresponsible scumbag."

"Bah! If you, Xu Huanshan, weren't such a scumbag, then everyone in the world would be a good man."

"Tsk! Gu Jia, I suggest you read more news about society and ethics. Only then can you make the most appropriate assessment of me."

"..."

Gu Jia naturally knew that Suning was not the kind of bastard who would take advantage of others, otherwise she would not be willing to endure such grievances. You know, she is a stubborn woman with a strong sense of self-esteem.

The reason why she always reminds Suning of the "scumbag" is simply to make Suning realize that he owes her, Gu Jia, and Xu Ziyan. In this way, even if Suning really becomes the new richest man in the East, he will never forget the benefits that she and Xu Ziyan, mother and son, should have obtained.

So seeing that Suning firmly rejected the proposal of remarriage, Gu Jia wisely stopped mentioning the matter and instead once again used her beauty.

Now Gu Jia's tea factory has prospered under Suning's operation. After all, Phantom Culture is a professional entertainment company, and it can be said that it has spared no effort in promoting the former boss's tea factory.

So now Gu Jia's tea has been placed on legal high-end counters across the country. It is definitely not the embarrassing situation in the original drama. Naturally, this makes Gu Jia more convinced of Suning's capabilities.

Gu Jia, who had something to ask of Suning, naturally didn't dare to provoke him easily. Instead, she tried her best to meet all of Suning's requirements and strange mentality. Then, the relationship between the two of them was destined to never return to the past.

……

Suning now spends most of his time in Shanghai and Wuhan. After all, his career in these two places is more important, so he rarely goes to Phantom Culture Agency.

"Huanshan, you haven't been to Chongqing for a long time. Can you spare some time to come visit me in Chongqing?"

"Okay! I don't have much to do recently. I'll try to get there the day after tomorrow."

"Great! I'll wait for you here then."

Suning naturally understood that having too many women would cause a lot of trouble, but he always maintained a happy attitude and often traveled to various places to interact with his women in his spare time.

After Suning finished all the things at hand, he remembered the sweet appointment with Zhang Lisha, and immediately went to the airport to take a private plane to Chongqing.

By the time the private plane landed at Chongqing's Jiangbei Airport again, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. He took out his mobile phone and opened it, only to find many missed calls.

Suning smiled silently and called back, then explained to the anxious Zhang Lisha, "Lisha, the plane just landed, where are you now?"

"Humph! I thought you broke the appointment, so I'm still in the company."

"Then wait at the company! I'll take a helicopter to pick you up."

"Okay! You probably haven't eaten yet! I'll take you to Chongqing late-night hotpot tonight."

"Haha, okay."

Helicopters are naturally the most convenient means of transportation in Chongqing, the magical mountain city. Sometimes they represent not only wealth and status, but also a pursuit of the ultimate enjoyment of life.

Soon, Suning's private helicopter landed on the top of the building where the agency was located, and then he took the elevator to the 22nd floor where Phantom Culture was located.

However, when Suning and his assistant Youyou just walked out of the elevator, they vaguely heard crying from the stairwell next door, and then ran over to check with confusion on their faces.

Then Suning saw a girl sobbing softly. It was obvious that she must have encountered a very tragic and sad thing.

"Girl, why are you crying here? Did something happen to you?"

"what?"

The girl, who was already crying, naturally had her makeup smudged. Suning and Youyou couldn't tell each other's true appearance, but instead felt even more curious.

Sure enough, the female assistant beside her understood and walked forward and asked, "Young lady, don't be afraid! I guess you are also an employee of Phantom Culture? This is Mr. Su Ning, the president of Phantom Culture. He will definitely help you solve the problem you encounter."

"Ah? Hello, Mr. Su! I'm Lu Yangyang, a contracted artist at Phantom Culture Agency."

"Lu Yangyang? I remember you! You're the artist that Manager Wang Manni personally signed. So who's your current agent?"

"Boss Su, ever since Manager Wang went to study in the United States, the company assigned me to Sister Manda."

"Well, then, are you having some kind of problem? Why are you crying alone in the hallway?"

"No! It's just that people on the internet are saying that my new film looks like a blind man, and that I'm just a vase with no acting skills."

"Haha, acting skills still need to be honed. As long as you are willing to endure loneliness and hardship, you will definitely improve."

"Thank you for your encouragement, President Su. I will definitely work hard."

"Yeah." Then Su Ning turned to look at his assistant Youyou and told him his plan for Lu Yangyang. "Youyou, have that Sister Manda bring Lu Yangyang to my place tomorrow. I want to see for myself how good Lu Yangyang's acting is."

"Yes! Mr. Su, I'm contacting Sister Manda."

Then Su Ning looked at the girl who was completely dumbfounded. "Lu Yangyang, go home and have a good rest tonight. You must perform well tomorrow."

"Ah? Okay...Okay! Thank you, Mr. Su."

Su Ning looked at Lu Yangyang again, whose true face he couldn't see at all, then turned around and left the corridor with his female assistant, heading straight towards Zhang Lisha's general manager's office.
