Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Wu Mei remained silent for a long time. 👌💀 6999.10 ...

"Alright, I'll give you all my secret stash of money, and in return, you give me 20% of YiMai's shares."

Li Haoyu shook his head.

"Twenty percent of the shares is too much. At this stage, I can only give you a maximum of ten percent of the shares, no more than that, otherwise there won't be enough shares for subsequent rounds of financing."

Wu Mei glared at her fiercely.

She hadn't expected the conversation to go this far.

Li Haoyu actually argued with him over every little thing.

Wu Mei couldn't help but retort, "Do you know how much money I'm going to give you? Let alone 20% of the shares, even 30% wouldn't be much."

Li Haoyu shook his head.

"This has nothing to do with how much money is involved. Besides, I'm only asking for the price of 10% of your shares. Even if you give me a hundred million, I'll still only ask for the price of 10% of your shares."

Wu Juan couldn't help but complain, "How can a grown man like you be so stingy? Wouldn't it be better to have more money as working capital?"

Li Haoyu glanced at Wu Juan. "You didn't get your money for nothing. Do you really think you don't have to pay back the money you raised through equity financing?"

"Only fathers will offer help in times of need; capital only adds to existing success. Even though you're a novice investor now, I still need to be wary of you."

"I don't want to accept more money because I believe the value of the company I started cannot be sold off cheaply."

"So you have to look at the present with a future-oriented perspective, and look at the industry with an industry-oriented perspective. That's why your current money is too hot to handle... unless you get it for free!"

Wu Mei was also amused by Li Haoyu.

"You're dreaming."

However, Wu Mei seemed to remember something.

She walked over to Li Haoyu and whispered.

"Actually, it's not impossible. How about you marry into my family? That way, you won't have to pay back a single penny."

Li Haoyu looked at Wu Mei, who was flirting with him.

"Let's forget about me marrying into your family. I'm young and should spend my time dating more girlfriends. But I could seriously consider marrying into your family."

This was both a joke by Li Haoyu and his true feelings.

Although he did admit that Wu Mei was beautiful

However, it is absolutely impossible to give up an entire forest for the sake of one tree.

Moreover, Li Haoyu is not short of money at all.

This amount of money wasn't enough to make him submit.

If Li Haoyu were to agree so easily, it would be like two armies facing off, only to have the enemy commander force him to betray them, ultimately giving him a nominal position with no real power.

He had no high-ranking official positions, generous salaries, money, or beautiful women.

Do you think you can convince yourself to be joking just because of a few empty words?

Besides, he wasn't without his share of bad experiences; he'd made those promises in two previous film and television productions. He'd casually agreed to them, and as a result, he never dated another pretty girl in his entire life.

Looking back now, Li Haoyu realizes...

He still felt a little regretful.

He will never repeat the same mistakes in this world. 💥🎯 6➈şℍ𝓾ⓧ.ᑕᵒм 👣🍓

Even when faced with a woman like Wu Mei, Li Haoyu has his own attitude.

That means you shouldn't act until you see the benefits.

It would be ridiculous to talk about feelings at this point.

Hold hands if you can, put your arm around my waist if you can, kiss if you can, get intimate if you can. No matter how much you talk, nothing beats sleeping together.

It's not a big deal to have a clear outcome before starting a relationship.

Otherwise... Wu Mei verbally gave Li Haoyu a lot of perks, but in reality she wouldn't even let me touch her.

Let him wait in vain, and then say in the end—you're a good person, but we're not a good match?

Therefore, Li Haoyu clearly distinguished between Zhou Rong and Zheng Juan; he only talked about his feelings for Zheng Juan.

Wu Mei, however, was still arguing with herself about the shares.

That would make it impure.

When it comes to business, stick to business. Don't bring up feelings at this time. Mixing the two things together will only make things unclear.

Just like Wu Zetian now... she clearly hasn't managed to control herself.

She's still too inexperienced.

……

However, Li Haoyu was thinking about these things.

However, there was no sign of anything unusual on his face.

He looked up and glanced at Wu Mei.

Wu Mei was undeniably beautiful; her tiny face looked almost photoshopped, like a delicate Barbie doll. She wore virtually no makeup.

But she's perfect from every angle, in no way inferior to some celebrities. That face alone is enough to make any man go bankrupt.

In addition, there was the added advantage of Wu Zetian's status.

She is truly a rare beauty.

However, girls like this often don't have a good ending. Beautiful women, in their youth, can use their beauty and youthful bodies to navigate several social classes.

However, a woman's beauty will only fade with age, and the value that comes from her beauty will gradually disappear.

This perfectly illustrates the saying: "If you rely on your looks to please others, their love will wane when your looks fade."

Even among those once stunningly beautiful women in Hong Kong, how many have a happy ending, because beauty inevitably depreciates?

However, at least in this respect, Wu Zetian was quite outstanding.

Because at least she knows how to find herself.

From this perspective, she's quite a smart girl.

.........

What Li Haoyu just said.

This left Wu Mei speechless for a long time.

She herself couldn't completely hide her emotions; she was still a little unhappy.

But he couldn't say anything at all.

Because even she herself knew that what Li Haoyu said wasn't actually a big problem.

Wu Mei took a deep breath.

Suddenly she raised her head and looked at Li Haoyu with pleading eyes.

"Would 12% be okay?"

Li Haoyu originally wanted to continue refusing.

But this time, I saw a fleeting glance of affection in Wu Mei's eyes.

"Okay, then it can't be more than 12 percent of the shares. I'm a guy with principles."

Wu Zetian smiled happily.

She happily picked up a cup of tea, saying, "Knowing you have principles, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."

Li Haoyu also raised his glass and casually said, "Does your promise to introduce me to my best friend still stand?"

She pursed her lips slightly, looking incredulous.

Li Haoyu said again, "Hmm?"

Wu Mei took a deep breath, her face slightly flushed.

She spoke, her voice slightly trembling with emotion. "I know you are indeed very outstanding. You might think I'm not pure... that I'm scheming or something."

"I admit all of that, but I was born into this industry. If I didn't think things through before doing anything, I probably would have been led into countless traps by now."

"I'm giving you this chance so seriously, and you're still thinking about my best friend. Don't think you can get away with this so easily until you give me a reasonable explanation."

The most outrageous thing is that Wu Mei even had a hint of crying in her voice.

Even if this was her performance, it still carried a bit of genuine emotion. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so sincere; she was probably truly angered by Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu: …………

His lips twitched slightly.

If he hadn't known that Wu Mei wouldn't have understood what he was saying, he wouldn't have understood either.

Li Haoyu really wanted to make a serious complaint at this moment.

"Really? I don't believe it."

"You've misunderstood me. You know, I've never even met any of your girlfriends. No matter how outstanding they are, how can they compare to this stunning beauty in front of me?"

Li Haoyu's tone became more relaxed this time.

Wu Mei looked at Li Haoyu's calm demeanor.

She didn't know what to say about Li Haoyu for a moment.

Wu Mei really felt like she was punching cotton, unable to exert her strength.

This made her feel extremely frustrated.

Li Haoyu continued, "The main problem is that you always leave things unsaid, which bothers me because I have a bit of OCD. If you don't like it, then forget it."

Wu Mei listened to Li Haoyu's words.

She couldn't help but sigh.

This time, she believed that what Li Haoyu said was true.

After all, although those girlfriends were all outstanding, Li Haoyu had never actually met any of them. But why did Li Haoyu specifically press Hao Dongmei for answers?

Even among her many beautiful girlfriends, she was the most beautiful.

Is it really just a coincidence?

But we've already gotten to this point in the conversation.

Wu Mei also said in a huff, "There's another one named Hao Dongmei, but her father's identity is rather sensitive, so it's best if you don't get involved with him right now."

Li Haoyu nodded.

"I know, but it won't hurt to get to know her. I don't want to meet her father anyway, you promised me that."

"Anyway, I still need to satisfy my curiosity."

Li Haoyu also stood up and said, "It's been quite a while now, I have to go out and keep an eye on things. Just come find me when you've prepared the funds, I won't renege on my debt."

Li Haoyu is still the same deadbeat.

It seemed that nothing could move the tower.

What's most infuriating is that Li Haoyu just seriously suggested that I introduce my best friend to her. Where does that leave me, this beautiful girl?

This is really frustrating.

So even though Li Haoyu had already gotten up.

However, Wu Mei remained motionless in her office chair.

It's just... infuriating.

Li Haoyu glanced at her, then shook his head and smiled.

"Then you can just sit here and do it for as long as you like."

As soon as Li Haoyu stepped out the door, he heard stomping sounds coming from inside.

He couldn't help but smile.

This Wu Zetian was quite something.

After all, she's not that old, so it's still a bit difficult for her to pretend to be a mature woman.

However, considering her family background, it is quite remarkable that she has achieved this much.

That's why Li Haoyu changed his mind at the last minute.

He decided to accept Wu Mei's investment.

Having more money is a good thing, especially in this early, unregulated era of commerce. This way, YiMai.com will actually be able to grow faster.

Wu Mei looked at the empty office.

Her feelings were also complicated.

She thought that Li Haoyu would definitely turn around after counting to ten at most, but after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was still no movement outside the office.

Wu Mei then realized that she had guessed wrong again.

Her eyes were slightly unfocused.

Angel investor?

Perhaps it really is a viable path.

This time, she's made a big move. Don't underestimate this ordinary shop just because it's not very well-known; Li Haoyu has managed to make her suffer this much.

He would be a prominent figure even in the business world.

She wouldn't have put up with this if she weren't so bad at business.

She took a deep breath, but she believed E-commerce would shine.

She'll definitely impress her family then. She won't be a clueless little kid anymore, but a true investment queen.

Then I'll be able to ride on Li Haoyu's head.

Wu Mei blushed as she suddenly thought of this scene.

She couldn't help but sigh.

…………

With the opening of E-Buy's first store.

Li Haoyu's happy days of slacking off have come to a complete end.

He took Zhou Bingkun to communicate with the manufacturer.

Training the high school girls who have just graduated from school in the store, and telling them what service awareness is?

Li Haoyu ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared by Zhou Rong and Zheng Juan. He didn't know what it felt like for other people to have many girlfriends, but he himself felt a bit full.

Overall, it was a tense and busy period.

Li Haoyu felt as if he had returned to the time when he first started his business. Looking at Zhou Bingkun's clumsy appearance, he was also reminded of his own naivety back then.

Now Li Haoyu also sensed that something was wrong.

His initial plan was simply to find Zheng Juan a stable, low-income business and incidentally solve Zhou Bingkun's employment problem.

How did he end up on the path of entrepreneurship again? Fortunately, Zhou Bingkun wasn't as stupid as he seemed. With just a little guidance, he could quickly grasp the underlying principles.

He was willing to put in the effort himself.

Li Haoyu asked him to observe the sales figures.

Zhou Bingkun worked as a salesman for three days, and his performance was surprisingly good.

Li Haoyu felt that he was too old to say for sure, but if it was just about looking after one or two stores, Zhou Bingkun was more than capable, and could even be described as excellent.

This made Li Haoyu feel that his hard times were finally over.

If Li Haoyu hadn't received the follow-up payment and reminder letter from the literary magazine today...

Li Haoyu almost forgot about this world; he was a great writer who was about to become a plagiarist.

He has been in this world for quite some time, but he has only produced one novella, "The Devotion of Suspect X," and one short story, "The Village Teacher."

This is even less than the number of girlfriends he's dated, which makes Li Haoyu feel quite embarrassed.

Isn't this embarrassing for plagiarists?

Of course, what made Li Haoyu realize this wasn't a sudden change of heart. Rather, it was that the Literature and Art Publishing House also sent over letters from readers, enough to fill two sacks.

The worst part is that this is only what the editors themselves have screened; this is just a portion of what was published in the first issue. Because there were so many reader letters, they had to be mailed out in batches.

The main force is still behind.

Li Haoyu was both amused and exasperated. He then realized that the King of Fairy Tales had bought several houses specifically to store the letters sent by his readers.

This is no joke.

Li Haoyu worried that if he didn't continue writing:

If he continues to be such a lazy bum and keep delaying updates...

The next time readers send us letters, it might not just be letters; it could very well be their threatening messages demanding more updates.

More importantly, Li Haoyu discovered a crucial period: the loyalty of fans in this era was far higher than he had imagined.

After all, writing letters these days is quite a hassle, requiring a trip to the post office and additional expenses. The various hidden costs are actually quite high.

Therefore, fans who can write letters can basically be considered die-hard fans.

This is even with Li Haoyu only having one novella being serialized. If he continues to accumulate a few more books, his future popularity is simply unimaginable.

Based on the situation in previous film and television worlds.

There should be a fairly large number of simulation points.
