Chapter 242 Distinguished Guests (2 chapters in 1)
After Duan Hongji pushed Di Wanshu away, Chai Youyan and the other two CEOs immediately rushed forward and surrounded CEO Mi.
Mr. Yan was the first to question: "Lao Mi, what happened to you today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Mr. Mi frowned and said nothing.
After Chai Yaozu had the audacity to do such a thing to Mr. Di Hantian, the old Chai family had been struggling to survive and had to retreat to the second line. The new Chai family chief could be called the new Chai.
The new CEO is young and not very familiar with the feud between the Chai, Mi, Youyan and Duan families, as well as the personalities of these CEOs who are keen on smoothing things over. He asked in confusion, "Old Mi was indeed a little impulsive just now, but the Di and Bo families are Dragon City families after all. It's okay for CEO Mi to protect our Haicheng locals, right?"
You snorted coldly, "Xiao Chai, you don't understand what has happened over the years." He then turned to Mi and said, "Old Mi, when did you and Duan Hongji become like one?"
Mr. Mi waved his hands impatiently: "Don't try to get me to say anything here. Our families have been beaten to the ground by Duan Hongji for years. Now those old bald donkeys in Longcheng are here and they are scolding Duan Hongji - what, you are so glorious?"
Mr. Mi's words were just to fool the young people who didn't know the world. The old foxes present wouldn't believe a word of it. Chai Youyan and the other three CEOs looked at each other and understood that Mr. Mi would not let them know.
On the other side, Zhao Ruoming pushed Di Wanshu's wheelchair and strolled leisurely in the banquet hall.
203 monitored the conversation between Mr. Mi and others, and said to Zhao Ruoming: "Host, Mr. Mi must have encountered something, but he is very tight-lipped. When talking with the bosses, he refused to reveal anything."
Zhao Ruoming pondered. In terms of family background, the Chaimi Youyan families were all about the same, and much lower than the Di family. Whether it was Di Hantian or Di Wanshu, they should not be so desperate as to plot against Mr. Mi for this.
What is the difference between Mr. Mi and the other three companies?
Zhao Ruoming's eyes suddenly widened.
Glory Entertainment!
Mr. Mi is the leader of Honor Entertainment, while Feng Baobao and Jiang Huiyi are affiliated with Honor Entertainment!
The entertainment industry is not the main focus of the Di family. After all, the Di family is in politics and disdains to get involved in this circle. Except for Di Wanshu who came to join in the fun to cause trouble for Zhao Ruoming, the rest of the Di family has never had anything to do with this industry.
Judging from President Mi's appearance just now, the main firepower was concentrated on Di Hantian, and Di Wanshu and Di Hanxin were just incidental targets of attack... What could Di Hantian do?
Zhao Ruoming frowned. Logically speaking, Di Hantian was an indigenous character, or an indigenous mini version without the male protagonist's halo, so it shouldn't have any impact on her. But she just felt uneasy.
Zhao Ruoming said, "Brother Tongzi, I think you may have to work hard for a while. Go check the accounts of Honor Entertainment or the minutes of meetings. The workload may be huge."
203 flickered slightly: "No problem, host. Stay safe. If anything happens, I will come back as soon as possible."
Di Wanshu suddenly asked, "Mr. Duan, you don't look very happy. Is there something at the banquet that makes you unhappy? Or is it that the waiter didn't treat you well enough?"
Zhao Ruoming thought that the thing that made him most dissatisfied at the banquet was you. He smiled and said, "I was scolded by Mr. Bo as soon as I arrived. I am a thin-skinned person. I am sorry to make Mr. Lao Di laugh."
Di Wanshu's pale fingers grasped the corner of Duan Hongji's clothes and gently stroked the expensive and smooth fabric a few times: "It is indeed Mr. Bo who was rude in this matter. Mr. Duan, rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory answer."
If Zhao Ruoming had waited for Di Wanshu to help him, he would have no need to live.
Zhao Ruoming lowered his head and could only see the top of Di Wanshu's head, but not the expression on his face.
The wheelchair was pushed further and further away, and gradually arrived in the quiet corridor. There was no one around, Zhao Ruoming stretched out a hand and pinched Di Wanshu's chin.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Duan Hongji's hands were thin and slender, but very rough. Perhaps it was because he had suffered a lot when he was young. Di Wanshu felt his chin itchy and couldn't help rubbing it on Duan Hongji's hand.
"!?!"
Zhao Ruoming almost slapped Di Wanshu to death with one palm. Such an opponent is quite rare. He doesn't even fight back when you scold him, and even licks your hand when you hit him.
"In what capacity are you asking me this question?" Di Wanshu felt Zhao Ruoming's trembling with satisfaction, his tone very light.
"What identity?" Zhao Ruoming asked coldly, "Will the answer be different depending on your identity?"
"Yes and no." Di Wanshu smiled, "Actually, I prefer you the way you are..."
"uncle."
A gloomy voice came, Zhao Ruoming looked up, only to see Di Hantian standing in front of them without knowing when. The other party's eyes fell on the hand that Zhao Ruoming pinched Di Wanshu's chin, and his eyes were gloomy.
Di Wanshu was unhappy for a moment - teasing Zhao Ruoming was the most interesting thing in the universe, and watching him baring his teeth and claws but being helpless was one of his few pastimes. Di Hantian, this useless guy, had no other skills, but he was a first-rate expert at disturbing other people's good times.
"Hantian, why are you here instead of greeting the guests?" Di Wanshu said indifferently, "It's very rude that the host is not in the hall."
Di Hantian almost wanted to sneer out loud. It would be rude of him to ignore the guests. But could it be that Di Wanshu was being elegant and decent by playing the face-pinching game with Duan Hongji?
Di Hantian took a step forward, his tone hinting at provocation: "Isn't uncle the host of the banquet? After all, what is to be announced today is also somewhat related to uncle."
Yo ho.
Zhao Ruoming immediately became interested. Although she hated this pair of plastic uncle and nephew, if Di Hantian could keep pouring out some useful things like a big colander, she could tolerate it for a while.
Di Wanshu propped up his chin in boredom: "Are we going to announce it now?"
"We have to wait a while." Di Hantian lowered his eyes and said, "The distinguished guest has not arrived yet."
"You two really don't treat me as an outsider." Duan Hongji suddenly said, "If that's the case, why don't you be more clear - what is the purpose of holding this banquet today?"
Di Hantian tried his best to suppress his anger: "Mr. Duan is curious, but I am more curious. It doesn't look like Mr. Duan and uncle are meeting for the first time."
Just as Zhao Ruoming was about to say something perfunctory, Di Wanshu squeezed in front of her and spoke: "This is not something you should ask, Hantian. Do your own thing. Today is your last chance."
Di Hantian gritted his teeth and did not refute in the end: "Yes." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the hall.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ruoming suddenly had an idea - yes, it was true that Mr. Mi's target today was Di Hantian. But what if Di Hantian had been sidelined?
In name, Di Hantian is still the person in charge of the Di family. In reality, everything Di Hantian does is based on the instructions of Di Wanshu... Di Hantian bears the blame, but the one who actually comes up with the bad idea is this bitch in the wheelchair.
As if to confirm Zhao Ruoming's guess, 203 returned to the sea of consciousness and spread out pieces of information for Zhao Ruoming to see.
"Host, there are indeed some problems at Glory Entertainment." 203 said solemnly, "Glory Entertainment has seven pillars, that is, popular artists. I just checked the internal information of Glory Entertainment, and four of them recently asked the company to terminate their contracts."
Zhao Ruoming blinked in surprise. The weight of these four words, popular artist, cannot be underestimated anywhere. People come and go in the entertainment industry. Today this is popular, tomorrow that is popular. It seems that anyone can be called popular. In fact, after the great waves wash away the sand, they are nothing but gilded obscure celebrities. There are very few who can truly withstand the erosion of time, and even fewer who can become pillars of the industry. Glory Entertainment is the leader in the industry, but it has only produced seven people in all these years. Four of them were lost at once. No wonder Mr. Mi is so angry.
"Since they are the pillars of the company, I believe the company treats them well." Zhao Ruoming played with Di Wanshu's pointed chin while thinking, "What conditions can lure them away?"
"They did it very covertly," 203 cleaned Zhao Ruoming's fingers, "but I still found some clues. The next employer of these four people seems to be a newly opened entertainment company. Host, guess who is the boss of this new entertainment company?"
Combined with Mr. Mi's attitude today, the answer to this question is obvious. Zhao Ruoming poked Di Wanshu's face - his skin was as soft as tofu, leaving many red marks.
Di Wanshu could no longer bear it, and finally grabbed the finger that was causing trouble: "You can just chat, but can you please stop poking me?"
If he was just poking him out of boredom while chatting with him, it would be fine. But Zhao Ruoming poked his face while talking to someone else. This contemptuous, almost playful attitude made Di Wanshu feel a little uncomfortable. In human terms, he felt as if he was being objectified.
Zhao Ruoming slapped Di Wanshu and said, "Shut up." Then he said to 203, "Go on, there are three more."
203 hesitated for a moment: "There are three more. The house will collapse tomorrow."
Zhao Ruoming: “.”
Zhao Ruoming opened his eyes wide: "A preview of a house collapse? As expected, the entertainment industry in every world is like this."
203 said: "The remaining three are all veterans who have followed Mr. Mi for many years. They were unwilling to abandon their old employer and refused the olive branch of termination of contract. So all kinds of negative information were dug up about them - you know who dug up the negative information. The technology in this world is simply powerless to resist. It is not even a secret how old their fathers wet the bed."
After hanging out with Zhao Ruoming for a long time, 203 has become able to use some metaphors, and they are metaphors that are very much in the style of Zhao Ruoming.
Zhao Ruoming chuckled: "No wonder Mr. Mi is so anxious. Lao Banjie is just hitting him in the face, which is equivalent to digging up someone's ancestral grave and then taking a dump in the coffin."
You can poach people if you want to, it's human nature to climb the ladder. But if you send away all the loyal old friends, that's not fair. Everyone is here to make money, it's fine to just fight in the middle of the gate, why do you have to create a style problem?
203 nodded: "In addition, countless mid-level artists have left, so I won't talk about them. The Di family seems to have endless money and countless information channels. They will poach those who can be poached, and destroy those who cannot be poached with black material. In short, Honor Entertainment is now... in a difficult situation."
At that time, the Mi family was declining and was about to be kicked out of the ranks of aristocratic families. The family leader, Mr. Mi, resolutely embarked on the path of the entertainment industry, which was not welcomed by the aristocratic families. He accompanied the artists to drink until he had stomach bleeding, and went to the artists' hometowns thousands of miles away to build them. He also dealt with the underworld forces in the Baogang circle in a humble manner. He held on for two years and happened to catch the vent of the times. Only then did he soar to the sky and became a must-visit mountain in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Even though the Mi family later entered other industries, Honor Entertainment is still the bone of Mr. Mi’s bones, the flesh of his flesh, and the medal of military honor for his half-life of military service.
Gently, Di Wanshu came. Gently, Di Wanshu picked his teeth with President Mi's medal. Gently, Di Wanshu left.
No matter how big an entertainment company is, its core is nothing but talent. After all, you can't expect the fat-bellied CEOs to personally go on the screen to harm the audience's eyes, and the agents' eloquence can't deceive purchasing power and box office. This also explains why as soon as an artist's career improves a little, the entire company's resources will immediately tilt towards him. Because a company that can only cultivate obscure and failed stars will only be a matter of time before it blows out the candle and pulls out the wax. This is the cruel reality.
Either explode in silence or perish in silence. Obviously, the intolerable Mi chose the former - although the force of his explosion was about the same as that of a mad beagle.
As Honor Entertainment declines, Feng Baobao, who is under Honor Entertainment, will naturally be affected. Could this be Di Wanshu's plan?
Isn’t this too inefficient and roundabout?
Zhao Ruoming felt a sense of irritability. She didn't know what she was irritated about. This feeling only appeared when 203 disappeared.
Zhao Ruoming pulled his fingers out of Di Wanshu's palm. Di Wanshu raised his head and smiled, "Are you done talking?"
Zhao Ruoming looked at him. Di Wanshu had a fair appearance, but there were some red marks on his face and his chin was also red, which made people have some unhealthy associations.
Zhao Ruoming suddenly asked, "Is there an empty room upstairs?"
Di Wanshu didn't ask why, he just smiled and nodded: "Of course."
Zhao Ruoming suddenly leaned over and fiercely strangled Di Wanshu's neck!
This small space seemed to be gradually heating up, but this temperature had nothing to do with ambiguity. It was a kind of heat that contained provocation, disgust, the desire to win and the desire to conquer.
At this critical moment, Di Hantian appeared again like a ghost: "Uncle, the distinguished guest is coming."
Zhao Ruoming seemed to be scalded and shook off the fair and fragile neck in his hands.
Her voice suddenly turned cold: "Mr. Di Wanshu, let me push you out."
The wheelchair rolled over the spotless ground, and Duan Hongji pushed Di Wanshu through the crowd of well-dressed people. Finally, it stopped under the podium.
A tall and straight figure walked slowly with another tall and beautiful figure. The man and woman were handsome and had outstanding temperament. The gorgeous clothes were just their decorations, and their looks were better than any precious jewelry. They were really a perfect match.
The moment he saw the couple, Zhao Ruoming immediately understood where Mr. Bo's sense of familiarity came from - they looked 70% like his eldest grandson, how could they not look familiar!
This pair of "distinguished guests" as Di Hantian called them, the handsome man and beautiful woman who attracted everyone's attention as soon as they arrived at the scene, were none other than the male and female protagonists of the double-substitute novel that Zhao Ruoming had seen on the set not long ago, Bo Tianjiao and Nanzhi!
