Chapter 61: 61 Remember the Promise

Morning.

Xu Yang went to the hotel to pick up Xu Xiaoyu and the two others, and drove them to the company.

He had Xiao Dongsheng sign them up and arrange training.

In that period, the company had signed up quite a few anchors. The three of them trained with these anchors.

After that, he, the hands-off manager, didn’t have to worry any longer.

Not knowing where to go, Xu Yang just sat in the company’s rest area, drinking tea and playing with his phone.

After a couple of games, his phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Lin Junyi calling.

“Junyi bro,” Xu Yang answered the phone.

“Xu Yang, have you returned to River City?” Lin Junyi asked.

“I have, just got back yesterday,” Xu Yang said.

“Great, I said before Mid-Autumn Festival, I wanted to treat you and Zhao Yuxin to a meal, let’s do it tonight,” Lin Junyi said.

“No problem,” Xu Yang didn’t decline.

After all, given their relationship, inviting for a meal was no big deal.

He hadn’t seen Lin Junyi at the company just now; Lin Junyi must have been out shooting a video.

He didn’t inquire about these matters, as Lin Junyi didn’t need anyone to supervise him.

Such matters were something Lin Junyi was more than happy to do himself.

After hanging up the phone, it rang once more.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

“Hello,” Xu Yang answered the call.

“Hello, I’m Wu Jing, may I ask if this is President Xu?”

The caller was indeed the director, Wu Jing.

“Yes, it’s me,” Xu Yang nodded and responded.

“I heard from Han Yanghui that you’re interested in investing in my film, is that right?” Wu Jing asked.

“I am interested, but we still need to meet in person to discuss and understand the details more clearly before making a decision,” Xu Yang said.

“That’s reasonable. How about we meet tomorrow afternoon at three at the River City Grand Hotel? Does that work for you?” Wu Jing asked.

He had been in the capital and had received a call from Han Yanghui the day before yesterday.

But Han Yanghui had mentioned that Wu Jing would only be back to River City yesterday.

Therefore, he only called Xu Yang today, as he didn’t want to disturb Xu Yang’s life.

“No problem, see you tomorrow,” Xu Yang readily agreed, as he had no plans for the next day anyway.

“Alright, see you tomorrow,” Han Yanghui said.

That evening.

Xu Yang, Zhao Yuxin, and Lin Junyi had dinner together.

It was a high-end restaurant, one that Lin Junyi had visited during the Mid-Autumn Festival and had said had a very good taste, so he brought the two to try it out.

during Mid-Autumn Festival, their anchors didn’t have holidays. When people were resting, that was the busiest time for them.

Xu Yang didn’t treat them harshly. In addition to the regular overtime pay for statutory holidays, he had given each company employee a bonus of a thousand yuan.

This energized all the company’s employees.

After several rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes,

Lin Junyi asked, “How’s the taste?”

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin both praised, “It’s really good.”

Lin Junyi laughed, “In the future, you guys should watch more of the videos I shoot, go to the restaurants I’ve reviewed. If it’s a restaurant I’ve chosen, it’s definitely a good one.”

Zhao Yuxin laughed and said, “Sure, we’ll follow you and eat all over Jiangcheng. It’s just that we might not be able to keep up with your pace; you check out a new place every two or three days, and we can’t be eating out so frequently.”

Lin Junyi said, “No problem, we’ll go when we have time.”

In the small private room next to the trio, two people were having a meal.

These two people were none other than Zhao Yulu and Chen Guanglei.

“Yu Lu, my dad wants me to meet a director tomorrow to see if his movie is worth investing in. Do you want to come with me?” Chen Guanglei asked.

Tomorrow was already Saturday, and Zhao Yulu didn’t have to work.

“Meet a director? Your dad’s company invests in movies?” Zhao Yulu was somewhat surprised; she really didn’t know about this.

“Yes, my dad’s company had invested in two TV dramas before, but they both lost money. After that, we stopped. This time a director approached us with a movie project, so he wanted to see if it’s worth the investment, asking me to meet with him,” Chen Guanglei said.

His dad wasn’t too keen on this investment, but since the director had approached them, he decided to let his son handle it, taking it as an opportunity to gain some experience.

“Which director?” Zhao Yulu asked.

She was still curious about directors or stars from the film and television industry.

Being able to meet them in person would be of interest to her.

“Wu Jing,” Chen Guanglei said with a smile.

“Him! He’s turned to directing?” Zhao Yulu was a little surprised.

She did know a bit about Wu Jing.

“Yes, I’ve looked into it a bit. Wu Jing’s acting career was pretty smooth when he was younger. He starred in period TV dramas and was quite popular.”

“Afterwards, when he went to Harbor City to make movies, he never made it big and always played minor roles, often villains.”

“Having failed to make a mark in Harbor City, he returned and wrote, directed, and starred in his own movie. Halfway through the production, the budget ran out, and they couldn’t continue filming.”

“Now, he’s seeking investment everywhere. He came to my dad’s company before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my dad asked me to meet him.”

Chen Guanglei explained the situation in detail.

“I see,” Zhao Yulu nodded, “What kind of movie is he making, an action flick?”

Chen Guanglei said, “A military action film.”

Zhao Yulu frowned. “That genre doesn’t seem popular. From what I’ve seen, military action films in recent years have underperformed at the box office, or they’ve hardly caught any attention at all.”

Chen Guanglei laughed and said, “There’s not much interest, which is why he’s running out of investment funds. Anyway, I’m just going to have a look and learn more about it.”

Zhao Yulu nodded, “Okay, I’ll also go with you to check it out and meet Wu Jing.”

Chen Guanglei laughed, “Great, the appointment is at 2 pm at Jiangcheng Grand Hotel. We’ll have lunch together tomorrow, and then head over.”

“Okay,” Zhao Yulu nodded and then asked, “What about that Southwest Business Association matter?”

Chen Guanglei said, “It should be settled in the next couple of days. Don’t worry, my dad said he’s going to have dinner with the vice-chairman tonight, and it should be sorted out by Monday.”

In truth, he was even more anxious than Zhao Yulu.

After all, Zhao Yulu had said that once the matter was taken care of, she would become his girlfriend.

Zhao Yulu said, “That’s good.”

Chen Guanglei reminded her, “Zhao Yulu, you must remember your promise.”

Zhao Yulu knew what Chen Guanglei was referring to: “Rest assured, as long as the matter is handled well, I naturally agree to be your girlfriend.”

Chen Guanglei’s smile was radiant: “Good, as long as you remember.”

In his eyes, this was already a done deal.

He had decided that on the day Zhao Yulu became his girlfriend, he would do everything in his power to take her to a hotel.

Having pursued Zhao Yulu for so long, he was finally about to see results.

Once they were in the hotel room, he was determined to ravage Zhao Yulu fiercely.

After that, how could Zhao Yulu still be arrogant in front of him?

The women who ended up with him had no right to be arrogant in front of him.
