Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 172 Cunzi thought he was going to a hotel, but ended up becoming a legal representative! Investing in a Middle Eastern game company!

May I be like a star and you like the moon, shining brightly together every night.

The morning after the screening of "The Fairy Castle 2" ended, a line of ancient poetry suddenly appeared on Weibo's trending topics.

Many netizens were stunned when they saw this ancient poem.

Upon seeing this ancient poem at the end of August, many people had only one thought: "Isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival still a month away? Are they already starting their marketing campaign?"

After all, this ancient poem contains the character for "moon" and seems to imply companionship, so it's probably a Mid-Autumn Festival marketing ploy.

It's already the end of August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is in September.

Many people are unsure exactly which day of September the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on. Anyway, after August, summer vacation will be over, and the next important festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At that moment, those netizens thought there was some Mid-Autumn Festival event going on, so they clicked in to take a look.

"So it was a movie promotion."

"It's just movie promotion, why are so many people showing off their bracelets?"

After clicking on the trending topic on Weibo, some netizens scrolled through it randomly and saw someone saying that their brother gave them a gold bracelet, which means "to stay together in love".

Whenever someone posts a similar photo, hundreds of people instantly flood the comments section, shouting, "I envy her! When will it be my turn?"

Someone joked, "My family is in the gold business, and we have a unique, ancient method for authenticating gold. Could you send me your bracelet so I can have it appraised?"

Most netizens and passersby kept asking: "Is it real? Is this a new kind of scam? Giving away a gold bracelet with a movie ticket? Which cinema would do something so unprofitable?"

Some people also asked, "Is this some kind of prize draw? Movie sales must be really bad lately, right? Are they giving away gold to attract viewers?"

Faced with these uninformed onlookers, the fans who knew the truth would patiently explain, even with a hint of boasting on their faces: "Lu Yunzhou's movie screening, 'The Fairy Castle 2,' every fan who attended got an autograph, a photo opportunity, an LDC gold bracelet, and a Kiko Qixi Festival skincare gift set—these two gifts are priced at 3888 at department stores, and the skincare gift set is 688!"

Upon hearing this, netizens were stunned: "These days, celebrities don't accept gifts from fans at their offline meet-and-greets, they even give gifts in return? Is that for real? What kind of organization are you? Can I join?"

"sure."

These young fans, after receiving Lu Yunzhou's gifts, not only support him daily by helping him with data collection, but also recommend their idol to other netizens, praising how great he is.

"I'll send you a fan group; just join. We have lots of daily activities in the group."

"We're always the first to know about LDC's gold and jewelry discounts during holidays. We also get insider discounts for Kou Rui's brand launches and new product releases."

"By the way, there's also a new user event for Kiko Beauty recently, and people in the group are sharing tips on how to get these deals every day."

"We also have a skincare expert in our group who compared Kiko and Olay. At the same price point, Kiko offers significantly more product. Plus, Zhouzhou often gives us freebies, so many people in our group have already switched sides!"

In the eyes of many people, idol worship is foolish; it's about spending money on your idols and going crazy with them.

Many people have a very bad impression of die-hard fans who idolize celebrities.

Who knew that Lu Yunzhou's fans would be described as having truly unique talents.

Is it possible to profit from your idols while following them?

LDC gold jewelry isn't a popular item, but during holidays or special occasions, many people will have a demand for gold jewelry.

With a reliable and prestigious brand, LDC jewelry has become a new option for many people.

As for Kou Rui's women's clothing and shoes—products that change seasons very quickly—if they don't sell, they'll be treated as overstock. Lu Yunzhou directly gives out discount coupons to fans to get sales going, which is much more profitable than clearing out unsold stock.

Fans get some benefits, and Lu Yunzhou earns more, so it's a win-win situation.

Needless to say, Kiko Beauty is currently in the market distribution phase, and they are willing to operate at a loss to market their products, at least to let potential customers try their products before making a decision.

Customers are more likely to make repeat purchases after using the product.

As for harvesting韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting people)?

Just kidding—these high-quality fans are all Lu Yunzhou's treasures; he's too busy taking good care of them.

After years of nurturing, his fans have become the most powerful force in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Their purchasing power is also extremely strong.

After all, his fans have gradually evolved into loyal customers of his fashion empire, in addition to following his idol.

【The Supreme Guard of the Emperor of Congee - Universe's Number One Squad】

This is Lu Yunzhou's core fan base.

-

The event included a screening of the movie "The Fairy Castle 2" and an offline meet-and-greet. Out of the 2000 people in the group, about 100 people participated.

The group admin, Hu Lianxin, got up early and started chattering in the group, asking, "So, how was the movie last night? Was it good?"

One of the fans who hadn't attended the event, upon hearing this, retorted sarcastically, "Xiao Hu, didn't you go to the screening last night? I saw the photo you posted on Weibo of you with Zhou Zhou. You even asked what the movie was about? Are you deliberately showing off? I advise you to tone it down, or you'll be in trouble."

Hu Lianxin laughed and said, "I finally get to see my brother in person, how can I possibly watch a movie? Movies don't run away, I can watch them however I want after they're released."

"At the movie screening last night, I sat with Xiao Hezi, but we didn't watch the movie at all; we just stared at my brother the whole time."

"My brother is so handsome!"

"We've been drooling all night."

"If you don't believe me, ask Little Box what the movie was about yesterday. I guarantee she won't be able to tell you anything, just like me."

It's only a little past 9 a.m.

However, the group is already overcrowded.

Upon hearing Hu Lianxin's words, other netizens became curious: "Hu, don't you and Xiao Hezi live together? Why hasn't Xiao Hezi shown up?"

Hu Lianxin laughed: "Little Box is still having a sweet dream. I just took a peek, and she was pouting, hugging the blanket tightly with both hands and feet, refusing to let go no matter what."

Upon hearing this, other netizens immediately chimed in, saying, "Look how tightly she's squeezing her legs together! If she is, she's definitely having a wet dream."

"Tight, very tight."

A short while later, Hu Lianxin came over to report: "The little box's two short legs are almost tearing the blanket."

""

Upon hearing this, the others burst into laughter: "Little Box must be dreaming about drinking porridge. Xiao Hu, go and whisper in her ear: 'Little Box, have you forgotten your promise of one sip of porridge each?' I guarantee it will scare Little Box awake on the spot."

Haha!

That person is so wicked!

If Hu Lianxin really did that, it would be something He Shiyu would never forget!

In the past, Hu Lianxin would probably have joined in the teasing, but today, she said sourly, "Don't make fun of Xiao Hezi. Last night at dinner, I heard my brother say that he's planning to film an action movie with Xiao Hezi, a high-quality drama with about 20 episodes. It might be a series, like 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'."

"In a couple of years, you might have to ask Little Box for autographs."

The first group leader, Wang Churan, took off with "Queen of Tears".

The second group leader, Tian Xiwei, is currently not doing very well. However, Lu Yunzhou has taken Tian Xiwei to many fashion events and she has also secured an endorsement deal with Tom Tord, a top luxury brand under Estée Lauder, giving her a wealth of fashion resources.

The third group leader, Hu Lianxin, has gained nothing so far.

What made Hu Lianxin jealous was that Lu Yunzhou skipped her and went straight to He Shiyu, preparing to film an action movie with her.

However, Hu Lianxin wasn't envious of He Shiyu's ability to become a big star—she, being a rich girl, didn't care about her career.

She simply envied He Shiyu, who was able to spend so much time with Lu Yunzhou, and who knew they might develop feelings for each other and eventually become engaged.

"Xiao Hu, you must have been flirting with Zhou Zhou. He's very proper, unlike other cheap girls in the entertainment industry. He doesn't like a vixen like you—look how well-behaved Xiao Hezi is."

"If I were Zhouzhou, I would also choose the small box between the two of you."

An administrator suddenly appeared in the group, whose nickname had been changed to "Zhang Changshi". It was clear that he had sided with He Shiyu and stood on the side of Empress He.

Immediately afterward, another person appeared, showering He Shiyu with flattery: "Little Box is as beautiful as a fairy, full of ancient charm, as if she stepped out of an ancient painting. The last person who gave me this feeling was Liu Shishi. I reckon Tang Yan must really like Little Box."

That person is right.

Last night during dinner, Tang Yan took good care of He Shiyu.

Of course, Hu Lianxin was not neglected either.

She and Tian Xiwei have a very good relationship. Tian Xiwei even said that after she enrolls in school, she will let her experience what it means to be able to do whatever she wants at school.

Something's not right.

After chatting in the group for a while, Hu Lianxin turned off her phone, leaned against the headboard, and turned to look at He Shiyu, who was fast asleep.

Empress He and the Ten Attendants both appeared.

So who am I?

Considering that General Tian was his mentor and also a relative of the emperor, by this analogy, could he be the legendary Yuan Shao?

If you were Yuan Shao and wanted to turn the tide, shouldn't you invite Dong Zhuo into the capital next?

But where is my Dong Zhuo?

If Dong Zhuo is not brought to the capital, how can the world descend into chaos? How can I emerge victorious from the chaos?

"Dong Zhuo comes from the northwest, and his army is strong and well-equipped."

From the Northwest?

Didn't Liu Haocun just return from the Northwest?

Hu Lianxin lowered her head and thought for a moment, then immediately found the account 【存舟侧畔千帆过】 in the group: "Cunzi, stop pretending, I know this account is yours. Are you free today? Shall we go out and have some fun together later?"

"I'm busy, I have a meeting at the company today."

Liu Haocun was indeed unavailable, but not because he was attending a company meeting.

At this moment, Liu Haocun was sitting in Lu Yunzhou's car, accompanying him to a high-end hotel.

Are they going to book a hotel room?

"Brother, isn't it a bit arrogant of us to go to a hotel in broad daylight?"

Liu Haocun was feeling very anxious, filled with anticipation but also a little scared.

The paparazzi in Shanghai are quite sharp.

It was impossible for Lu Yunzhou to take her to a hotel room without being discovered.

If they were discovered, wouldn't their relationship be exposed?

She didn't care.

If Lu Yunzhou's relationship is exposed, his fans will be unable to accept it and will collectively unfollow him. This would affect Lu Yunzhou's career plans.

Then she would be utterly culpable.

Lu Yunzhou turned to look at Liu Haocun: "If we go tonight, we might not have enough time."

"oh."

Liu Hao thought to himself that Lu Yunzhou would definitely go home that night.

Wang Churan has been idle at home recently, and school hasn't started yet. She's probably keeping an eye on Lu Yunzhou every day. If she finds out that Lu Yunzhou is out fooling around, she'll definitely cause a scene.

Wang Churan has a terrible temper.

That's why Zhang Ruonan is the eldest sister.

If Wang Churan becomes the eldest sister, the family will never have a peaceful day.

"Brother, you should have told me last night that you wanted me to go to the hotel with you today. I wasn't prepared at all."

Liu Haocun thought to himself, "The movie really has a lasting impact."

It's likely that Lu Yunzhou saw his perfect performance in the movie and realized his feelings for him.

He finally decided to let go of everything and be with himself.

Liu Haocun glanced at Lu Yunzhou furtively, his face flushing slightly.

Regardless, she had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and finally her wish came true; it still felt like a dream.

"No need to prepare anything special. You look great as you are today. You're poised and elegant, and your makeup is fresh and light. I don't really like girls wearing heavy makeup."

Lu Yunzhou turned to look at Liu Haocun and smiled gently.

A woman wearing makeup looks very beautiful from a distance.

However, in real life, when meeting in private and looking at things up close, the human eye has a much higher resolution than a camera.

Liu Haocun looks quite good even without makeup.

Fresh and elegant.

Unfortunately, after spending several months in the Northwest, my skin is now quite dark.

It will recover in two months.

"Big brother, I didn't wear lipstick today."

Liu Haocun smiled sweetly, turning to look at Lu Yunzhou every now and then, and made a point of emphasizing something.

She used to put on lipstick and try to sneak a kiss on Lu Yunzhou, but she would always be questioned.

Now, she's learned to be smart.

When I go out to meet Lu Yunzhou, I will definitely not wear lipstick; a little lip balm will be enough.

"She's not wearing lipstick, but her complexion is still pretty good."

Lu Yunzhou responded with a reply while driving.

He turned to look at Liu Haocun: "Did you guess it? I knew it, you can't be fooled by something like this. You girls are all so clever."

"hey-hey!

'

Liu Haocun also chuckled foolishly.

You deliberately avoided everyone and secretly brought me to the hotel early in the morning. How could I not know what you wanted to do?

Do I need to guess about something like this?

"Just park here. There's a space available."

Lu Yunzhou drove the car to the underground parking garage, then took Liu Haocun in the elevator to the top floor of the hotel, where the presidential suite was located.

Seeing this, Liu Haocun's anticipation grew even stronger.

Lu Yunzhou really has a strong sense of ritual.

After all, it was her first time.

Although they were in a hotel, not in Lu Yunzhou's home, nor in her nearly completed Jinmao Mansion mansion.

But at least it's a presidential suite.

When she looks back on it later, she'll definitely have a special feeling about it.

Thinking of this, Liu Hao couldn't help but hug Lu Yunzhou's arm and said shyly, "Big brother, I'm still a little nervous. Do you think Sister Nan will agree?"

"Hmm—Sister Nan is gentle and generous, she should agree."

"Sister Tangtang should be easy to talk to."

"Xiaotian is my best friend, she should agree too."

"It's Song Yameng. She'll probably cause trouble for you again."

At this point, Liu Haocun suddenly remembered the "Contending for the Central Plains" group that Cai Xukun had created, which was full of Wang Ran's rivals.

It must be said that Cai Xukun was truly prescient.

Wang Churan was indeed the common enemy of all of them.

The elevator was almost at the top floor. Lu Yunzhou gently patted Liu Haocun's hand and said, "Wait a moment, don't make a sound. I'll handle everything."

"what?"

Liu Haocun was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, does Lu Yunzhou have such a strange fetish? Does he not like women making a sound during that time?

Isn't it said that men like women to make some noise during that time?

Moreover, in that situation, could you control yourself and not make a sound?

But this was a hard-won opportunity to drink porridge, so Liu Haocun gently bit his lip and said, "Brother, I'll do my best. It's just—I'm afraid that I might not be able to control myself. Please don't blame me."

Can't control it?

What is she saying?

Lu Yunzhou looked completely bewildered as he led Liu Haocun to the door of a presidential suite and gently knocked.

"Mr. Lu, please come in!"

A short while later, an Arab man dressed in a white robe opened the door and respectfully gestured for Lu Yunzhou to enter.

"What's going on? Why are there outsiders here?"

When he saw several Arab attendants appear, Liu Haocun was dumbfounded and began to realize that he might have misunderstood something.

"Lu, you're here so early. I just got up."

In the presidential suite, His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa is having breakfast.

He was quite familiar with Lu Yunzhou, so he didn't stand on ceremony and asked Lu Yunzhou, "Lu, have you had breakfast yet?"

Want to order something together?

"I've already eaten, please enjoy your meal."

Lu Yunzhou sat on the sofa with Liu Haocun.

The servants immediately brought Lu Yunzhou and Liu Haocun two cups of coffee, as well as various fruits and snacks, and invited them to enjoy them.

At the same time, a butler-like person brought over a large stack of documents and a laptop, and prepared them on the side.

I guess they wanted to take some meeting minutes.

Twenty minutes later, Prince Khalifa finished his breakfast and had his servants clean up.

He sat down opposite Lu Yunzhou, plopped down on the sofa, gripped the armrests with both hands, and said casually, "Lu, are you sure you don't want the copyright fee? That's 3000 million US dollars."

Lu Yunzhou smiled and said, "Your Highness, I'd like to consider these royalties as an investment, a stake in your game company. Also, I have some friends in Montreal. You know, I have a visual effects studio there."

"I'll find someone to help you find a suitable game development company to create a series of spin-off games using the 'Fairy Castle' IP. After that, we'll find a Chinese team to operate the games."

"What do you think of Tencent? They have extensive experience in game operation. They're currently actively expanding into overseas markets."

""

"I've had some contact with their team. Although I'm not prepared to sell the company to them, we can cooperate as a three-way partnership."

As long as the game can be sold in the Middle East, this business is guaranteed to be profitable.

In recent years, many domestic game developers have reskinned their own mobile games and sold them to the Middle East, with considerable economic benefits.

However, this kind of reskinned gameplay is definitely not sustainable.

Which partner can compare to Prince Khalifa's background?

Even the people at Penguin couldn't find a way to collaborate with Prince Khalifa. It's common for members of the royal family to avoid direct involvement.

Because it's perfectly normal for things to go well.

If they mess it up, it will damage the image of the royal family.

Therefore, many of Prince Khalifa's businesses are managed by his butler.

Lu Yunzhou also happened to be in the right place at the right time and made some contact with the Qatari royal family.

"Lu, if you're willing to join us, I'd certainly welcome you."

"I'm very confident having you lead this project. After all, 'The Fairy Castle' is your film, a world you created."

"You won't let anyone ruin this project."

For Prince Khalifa, while the gaming industry is profitable, it certainly can't compare to his family's oil and gas business.

However, as the king's brother, he could not be a useless person.

He's disgracing his mother.

Therefore, he has to use his intelligence and talent to achieve something, at least to live up to his mother's years of nurturing.

Otherwise, when people mention him as a prince, they all say he's a spoiled brat.

Doesn't he have any pride?

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."

"I will set up an investment company, inject the copyright of the 'Fairy Castle' IP into this investment company, and invest in your game company in Qatar."

At this point, Lu Yunzhou turned to Prince Khalifa and introduced Liu Haocun: "I'm going to have Ms. Liu Haocun, the female lead of my movie, serve as the legal representative of this company."

"she?"

Prince Khalifa turned to look at Liu Haocun, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

However, he didn't say much, just nodded slightly: "Lu, this is your company, you can do whatever you want with it. I believe Ms. Liu is a smart woman. She won't ruin our cooperation."

Lu Yunzhou turned to look at Liu Haocun, gazing intently at her: "Xiao Cun, will you ruin the cooperation between me and His Highness the Prince?"

"No, I won't."

Liu Haocun hurriedly shook his head: "Brother, how could I possibly ruin your cooperation with His Highness the Prince? It's just that I don't understand company management, and I don't understand game operations. I'm just worried that I might mess this up."

Prince Khalifa laughed heartily: "Miss Liu, rest assured, my butler will handle everything. In Qatar, who dares to ruin my business?"

That's true.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haocun felt relieved and nodded gently: "I have no other questions."

"That's fine then."

Prince Khalifa nodded slightly, then turned to his butler and spoke a few words in Arabic. The butler nodded slightly and wrote down all the key points in his notebook.

This meeting is simply to discuss the cooperation framework.

After Lu Yunzhou and Prince Khalifa finalized the framework, the business team will naturally follow up to conduct various business collaborations.

As for how to secure shares and how to agree on the cooperation method—that's a matter for the subordinates.

Lu Yunzhou and Prince Khalifa will not be involved in these kinds of discussions.

If the big boss is arguing so fiercely, what's the point of having subordinates?

The big boss is nonchalant, enjoying tea and conversation, going out for a sea breeze and a yacht trip, and maintaining the friendship is all that matters.

Those dirty and tiring jobs are naturally handled by subordinates.

We finished discussing things this morning.

In the afternoon, Lu Yunzhou went on a yacht trip with Prince Khalifa.

Lu Yunzhou himself didn't really like this kind of activity, so he just sat on the deck enjoying the breeze by himself. However, he specially invited Huang Yida over to keep him company.

Huang Yida was having so much fun that he forgot all about home, and his legs were weak when he got off the yacht.

"Brother Xiaochuan, you're truly my good brother. You never forget me whenever there's something good happen. But I just heard that you left the legal representative position of the game investment company to Liu Haocun?"

Huang Yida was a little puzzled about this.

Because he vaguely heard that Lu Yunzhou had met a girl outside named Zhang Jingyi, who was a student at the Beijing Film Academy and Zhou Xun's last disciple.

He also heard that Lu Yunzhou wanted to take Zhang Jingyi as his fifth wife.

But now, the legal representative of the new company, Lu Yunzhou, didn't give it to Zhang Jingyi, the fifth son, but gave it to Liu Haocun first?

This puzzled Huang Yida.

"Okay, give it to Cunzi."

Lu Yunzhou nodded slightly: "Xiao Cun made a huge contribution to the success of the 'Fairy Castle' IP. If Jingjing were to become the legal representative of this investment company, Xiao Cun wouldn't be satisfied. Nor would anyone else."

Liu Haocun was appointed as the legal representative of the investment company.

Others couldn't say anything.

The "Fairy Castle" IP was originally built by Lu Yunzhou and Liu Haocun together.

In terms of merit and reward, Lu Yunzhou ranked first, and Liu Haocun ranked second.

"That's true."

Huang Yida nodded slightly, then thought for a moment and said, "Brother Xiaochuan, there's something I've never understood. Could you please enlighten me?"

'

Lu Yunzhou said nonchalantly, "Uncle Da, we've known each other for years, why are you being so polite? Just ask me what you want to say."

Huang Yida hesitated for a moment, and seeing that no one was around, he couldn't help but ask, "I admit that Liu Haocun made a great contribution to this film. But haven't you given her too much? Why can't you wait until she makes even more contributions before giving her a reward?"

Lu Yunzhou pondered for a moment and then said, "Uncle Da, let me tell you a story. It's about my own story."

"Other parents usually reward their children by buying them a gift if they get one of the top grades in an exam."

"Our family is different."

"My parents are much harsher on me."

"After graduating from elementary school, during the summer before starting junior high, I wanted a brand new PS2 game console, and my parents bought it for me without any hesitation."

"They let me play for a week."

"Then, before I started junior high, they confiscated the game console. They had one condition: I had to be in the top 50 of my grade in the midterm exams before they would return it to me. Otherwise, they would give it to my cousin."

"Do you know how much effort I put in to save that game console?"

Lu Yunzhou felt that his parents had him completely under their control.

If his parents, like other parents, promised him a game console if he ranked in the top of his grade in the midterm exam.

He wouldn't care at all.

Even if he ranked among the top students in his grade, he wouldn't believe that his parents would keep their promise.

After all, adults always have various reasons to cheat, and children are powerless to stop them.

However, his parents were the first to keep their promise and let him enjoy it ahead of time.

From that moment on, his mindset changed.

His mindset became: If I fail, I will lose everything.

Instead of the mindset of other children who are lured by promises from adults: if they succeed, they will make a fortune, and if they fail, they will not lose anything.

Therefore, he did everything in his power to protect what he already had.

"I have bestowed both fame and fortune upon Xiaocun."

"If she betrays me, she will lose too much."

"I believe Xiaocun is a smart person; she knows what to do."

If Liu Haocun behaves well, she will receive a "super gift" from Lu Yunzhou; but if she gets too cocky, she will lose everything.

Under these circumstances, she would naturally understand what rules are.

After all, Lu Yunzhou's amazing gift was right in front of her; she could see it every day. It wasn't just empty promises, but she couldn't actually possess it.

In order to obtain this "super gift," Liu Haocun will do everything in his power, just like Lu Yunzhou did when he was a child to keep his game console.

After hearing Lu Yunzhou's "family education story," Huang Yida couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Xiao Chuan, if only I had met you 10 years earlier."

Regardless of whether Liu Haocun will betray Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou's skill in manipulating women left Huang Yida in awe.

What love and romance?

Lu Yunzhou may also have feelings for his girlfriends.

However, he preferred to use business management and human weaknesses to specifically prevent those women from betraying him.

Always keep a trump card up your sleeve.

Huang Yida felt that in front of Lu Yunzhou, he was just a little Huang.

Lu Yunzhou is his uncle.

"Uncle Da, please don't say that. If Sister Ji hears you, she'll misunderstand."

Lu Yunzhou took a few steps back, directly distancing himself from the situation: "Sister Ji treats me no differently than a biological sister—if Sister Ji smells anything unusual about you, just say you got on the yacht yourself. It has nothing to do with me."

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Huang Yida snorted and muttered, "If I betray you and confess everything, she'll just say I led you astray. I would only get one beating normally, but if I betray you, I'll get at least three!"

In front of Ji Rujing, Lu Yunzhou was as perfect as a biological son.

Later, he gradually went astray. In Ji Rujing's eyes, he was led astray by Huang Yida, Wu Xiaoqiang and others, and became tainted by the bad habits of the entertainment industry.

How could he dare to speak ill of Lu Yunzhou in front of Ji Rujing?

"If Yan Yan asks, I'll just say we negotiated a deal worth several hundred million US dollars today—and she won't say anything more!"
