Yan Qiang and Huang Yuan's appointment was at seven o'clock in the evening.
Yan Qiang arrived a quarter of an hour before seven o'clock, but she didn't expect Huang Yuan to come earlier.
"I'm late?"
Yan Qiang almost doubted whether her watch was malfunctioning.
Huang Yuan stood up with a smile: "No, I arrived a little early."
After Yan Qiang sat down, the waiter brought the menu. Yan Qiang handed it to Huang Yuan: "Mr. Yuan ordered."
"It's up to you to do whatever you want. I have no taboos." Huang Yuan didn't answer.
The place was chosen by Yan Qiang, and the taste of Jinghai is completely different from that of Hong Kong City.
She ordered several of the restaurant's signature dishes.
After the waiter left, Yan Qiang looked at Huang Yuan with a smile: "Jinghai's dishes are more heavy-flavored, and there are also light ones, but they are definitely not as good as those in Hong Kong City, so I ordered a few representative ones. Mr. Yuan doesn't mind, right?" ?”
Huang Yuan smiled: "Just in time to try the authentic Jinghai cuisine."
After saying this, there was a moment of silence on the table.
"I originally planned to pass by Zhouhai and go to Yangling when I returned to Hong Kong City, but I didn't expect you to return to Jinghai. What a coincidence." Huang Yuan looked at Yan Qiang with a smile.
Yan Qiang's thoughts moved slightly: "Mr. Yuan, do you want to see me for something?"
"I plan to talk to you." Huang Yuan looked at Yan Qiang with gentle eyes, "Do you know about Xiaobao and Huo Qi's upcoming engagement?"
Yan Qiang nodded: "I know."
Even if this matter did not spread, Huo Qi told her that she was aware of it.
"Xiaobao feels very sorry for you."
Huang Yuan's words made Yan Qiang a little difficult to accept. He said it as if he was acknowledging her relationship with Huo Qi. But if she denies it, it seems to be telling them that she and Huo Qi are indeed related.
Yan Qiang took a sip of water from the table and asked him, "Is the date set?"
"Not yet." Huang Yuan said, "Mrs. Huo passed away suddenly, so this matter may be put on hold for the time being."
Huo Qi's mother passed away. If Huo Qi wanted to observe filial piety, he would not be able to marry for at least a year.
When he said this, Yan Qiang suddenly felt that the time of Huo Qi's mother's death was too coincidental.
Huo Qi was about to get engaged to Huang Qinying. As soon as some news about their engagement came out, Tong Zi passed away.
No matter how you look at it, it feels a little weird.
It seems that he is blocking Huo Qi's way as much as possible, not wanting him to go with the Huang family in Hong Kong City.
Thinking of this, Yan Qiang glanced at Huang Yuan again.
"Don't look at me like that." Huang Yuan looked helpless, "At least now Xiaobao won't feel ashamed of you."
Yan Qiang didn't want to discuss this matter with him.
Her relationship with Huo Qi was a private matter, and the two had almost no communication with the outside world.
The feeling of being told a secret is not a good one.
She thought for a while and asked Huang Yuan: "Does the Huang family really want to build a film and television city in Jinghai?"
"Do you think this is fake?"
"Not really." Yan Qiang smiled at Huang Yuan, "I just thought that Mr. Yuan wants to open up the market, and there is more than one way."
Huang Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Have you figured it out?"
"I want to invest, and I also need to sign people. I will market myself first, and then recommend people later. I have resources and connections. If Mr. Yuan's path can be tilted towards me, I think this path can Open soon.”
Yan Qiang said it sincerely.
But she didn't tell everything. At least her cooperation with Xiao Jingshan was impossible to tell Huang Yuan at this time.
We've only met him a few times, but they still don't trust him to this extent.
Huang Yuan looked at Yan Qiang.
At this moment, she was a little different from the Yan Qiang he had seen before. The change in her mood made her whole aura begin to change.
Now Yan Qiang is even more ambitious.
The light in the eyes of that bright and charming face was brighter than before.
There were not many people in this restaurant.
Because it is in a narrow alley, looking out from the window, there are very few people.
After Huang Yuan pondered for a moment, he asked her: "I need a project, a project that can impress me. There are too many people who want to cooperate with the Huang family in Hong Kong City, but the highlights are the same. I have no interest, so I haven't left yet. .I’m looking forward to your surprise.”
Yan Qiang smiled.
What Huang Yuan said was very interesting. He neither refused nor agreed immediately. Instead, a plan lies in the middle as the standard of measurement.
No matter what kind of plan she makes, subjectivity is still in Huang Yuan's hands.
Yan Qiang didn't want to master this passivity.
But one meeting was not enough for her to reveal all her cards.
"Okay." Yan Qiang raised the glass of water towards Huang Yuan and said with a smile, "I'll give you a cup of tea instead of wine. I just don't know that it's inconvenient for Mr. Yuan to go through the back door. Let me first bring those things that I can't bring to Yuan." Total surprise highlight kicks off.”
Huang Yuan also picked up the water glass and touched it with her: "This is what it should be."
…
After leaving the restaurant, Yan Qiang sat in the car and thought about what Huang Yuan said.
The meal didn't take long.
The two of them didn't talk much, but Yan Qiang couldn't tell which of Huang Yuan's words were true and which were false.
While she was meditating, Yang Wenming called her and informed her about the follow-up to the drama "Nine Days" and asked Yan Qiang if she was free to watch the finished film and serve as a reviewer.
"What day?" Yan Qiang asked.
"We can use Miss Yan's time," Yang Wenming said, "but the platform is still under negotiation. Does Miss Yan have a platform that she likes?"
"Nine Days" is a suspense drama.
There are quite a few platforms, but the focus of each platform is different, and most of them are solo dramas. Whether they can get the resources is another matter.
Since Xinyao withdrew its investment, "Nine Days" has not been favored by major platforms. They have too few resources to provide "Nine Days".
Who doesn’t want to become an instant hit!
At least you can’t lose money!
"Which platform do you prefer?" Yan Qiang asked.
"If possible, of course it should be with Second Young Master Xiao." Yang Wenming said with a smile, "Given the relationship between the eldest lady and Second Young Master Xiao, the resources they provide will definitely be better than other platforms."
"I'll ask, cut the finished film first, and I'll show it to him another day." Yan Qiang said.
Yang Wenming was happy: "Miss, don't worry, the quality and quantity will be guaranteed!"
After hanging up the phone, Yan Qiang began to think seriously about what advantages she had that could make Huang Yuan's eyes light up.
Ordinary cooperation is almost non-existent.
If you want to do it, you have to do it big, and you have to make the Huang family excited.
She already had a bold idea in her mind, but now she didn't have enough chips.
"I'm not going home." Yan Qiang said to Daodao who was driving, "Ask where Sister Xun is, I want to see her."
"good."
After Daodao finished speaking, Ling Yin had already dialed Liang Xun's phone number. After learning that Yan Qiang wanted to see her, he went directly to Liang Xun's home.
Liang Xun's house is not too far from Jiangwan.
When Yan Qiang passed by Jiangwan Apartment, she took a look from the car, and with a thought in mind, she asked Daodao: "Do you know who the buyer of that apartment in Jiangwan is?"
"It's a teacher." Daodao glanced at Yan Qiang in the rearview mirror, "A man."
Hearing this, the hint in Yan Qiang's heart was immediately extinguished by a basin of cold water.
Daodao asked again: "Sister Qiang, are you reluctant to let go?"
"After living in it for so many years, I would still be reluctant to part with it even if it is an old thing, let alone a house."
It was still a house with memories shared by her and Huo Qi.
Since it’s sold, let’s sell it.
Only by cutting off the past can we have a future.
…
Knowing that Yan Qiang was coming, Liang Xun went downstairs to pick her up.
"Why did you come to me suddenly? What happened?" Liang Xun looked at Yan Qiang, "Why do I feel a little scared?"
"Go up and talk."
Yan Qiang's solemnity made Liang Xun feel a little heavy. She looked at Daodao and Ling Yin, and they both shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they didn't know anything.
Even now, they still don't understand why Yan Qiang suddenly returned to Beijing.
Only Daodao whispered to Liang Xun: "Sister Qiang just had dinner with the man from the Huang family in Hong Kong City."
Liang Xun was slightly surprised.
She almost had a suspicion in her mind.
After going upstairs, Daodao and Ling Yin were cooking and drinking together in the kitchen. Liang Xun pulled Yan Qiang to the sofa and sat down: "Tell me, don't make it mysterious. My little heart can't be frightened."
Yan Qiang got straight to the point: "If I terminate the contract with the company, how much liquidated damages will I have to pay?"
Liang Xun's pupils were shocked.
She looked at Yan Qiang with wide eyes: "You want to terminate the contract with the company? Why? Your contract with the company only has one year left. If you don't renew it then, won't it be over? If you terminate the contract now, you will have to pay a large sum of money. of!"
"Can't wait."
Yan Qiang did not tell Liang Xun the specific reason. She only asked Liang Xun if there was any way for her to terminate her contract with the company in the shortest possible time.
Liang Xun sighed and shook his head, "You are the eldest daughter of the Yan family, and you have signed a new drama with Director Han. You are now a rising star. If you want to terminate your contract with the company at this time, they will definitely be furious. "
Liang Xun looked at her: "What do you plan to do after the contract is terminated? Do you plan to quit the industry, sign with another company, or... do you want to go it alone?"
Yan Qiang entered the circle not long ago.
Nowadays, her status in the industry is a bit awkward. She is not a popular little girl, but she is not among the 18th-tier elite either. But as long as she is willing and does good marketing for two years, when the Korean director's movie comes online, she will definitely become a big hit. !
As for people in her position, except for those artists in family workshops, there are very few people who would go out and work alone.
There is no other reason - resources.
There is a company to take care of, and the company will recommend resources to you. There is a difference between the company's connections and personal connections, so almost rising artists have a management company, and solo careers almost always occur after they have risen to a certain height.
"I won't back off."
Yan Qiang looked at Liang Xun and asked her seriously: "How have you considered the things I mentioned to you before? The company over in Haicheng, the position of artist director."
"It's very exciting."
Liang Xun was really moved.
She had seriously considered this matter. From the moment Yan Qiang registered the company, she knew that Yan Qiang would eventually go it alone. She is the eldest daughter of the Yan family, and she has the connections of Young Master Xiao. She has a close relationship with the Huo family, and is also on good terms with the eldest daughter of the Huang family in Hong Kong. As long as she makes good use of these connections, she will definitely go sideways in the future. .
But she also has her concerns.
Giving up what she has now and going out with Yan Qiang is tantamount to giving up everything she has obtained before. What she has now needs to be started all over again.
"Please explain to me." Liang Xun grabbed her hand and looked at her very seriously, "If you already have a target for action, I can mediate the matter of terminating the contract. I can even think of a way. Let you terminate your contract with the company quickly."
Liang Xun has something.
Her attitude also said to Yan Qiang, as long as you give me a definite answer, I will follow you immediately.
"Okay, let me tell you." Yan Qiang was also very serious, "I want to make a big bet."
She lowered her voice and whispered in Liang Xun's ear.
Liang Xun was no less shocked than when he heard Yan Qiang say he was terminating the contract.
"Are you sure?" Her pupils dilated, "If you do this, you will lose everything if you are not careful."
"Yes." Yan Qiang nodded, "But if you succeed, the rewards will be beyond your imagination. Even if you fail, you will have to start over again. Sister Xun, I have the cost of trial and error."
The last sentence made Liang Xun admire him.
Yes.
She has the cost of trial and error. Even if she ends up with nothing in the entertainment industry, she is still the eldest daughter of the Yan family. Her relationship with Young Master Xiao is still there, and she still has a chance to make a comeback.
Even if she was tired and decided to quit at that time, she could still go back to being her eldest lady.
But what about Liang Xun?
Yan Qiang's words also reminded Liang Xun that once Yan Qiang decided to withdraw from the circle and leave, her situation would be the most embarrassing.
"I have a way to terminate your contract with the company."
Liang Xun was silent for a while, then she looked at Yan Qiang, "But I also need a guarantee from you that you won't quit halfway."
She doesn't have as much trial and error costs as Yan Qiang.
You could say she was snobbish, or you could say she smiled cautiously, but this was the reassurance she needed.
With this reassurance, she can leave with Yan Qiang without hesitation, and even face off against her old club.
Yan Qiang nodded: "I promise, no."
"Okay! I believe you!"
Liang Xun stood up and walked to the kitchen. Seeing Daodao and Ling Yin secretly drinking soda, she took out two cans of Coke and said, "Stop hiding here, come over and have a drink together." "
knife:"?"
Ling Yin: "??"
The two of them were a little confused and didn't know what happened, but they still followed Liang Xun to the living room.
"Let's have a drink."
Liang Xun handed one of the cans of Coke to Yan Qiang: "My future is in your hands."
It looks very tragic and ceremonial.
Daodao became even more confused after hearing this.
She didn't know why, but she still said half-jokingly: "Sister Xun, are you selling yourself?"
"Yes, I sold myself!" Liang Xun took a sip of Coca-Cola, and the bubbles exploded in her mouth. The sour feeling made her take a breath and said, "From now on, I will follow you. Sister Qiang is working part-time."
knife:"???"
Yan Qiang looked at Daodao and Ling Yin with a smile: "Are you going to sell yourself to me?"
"Hey, you don't have to sell your body," Daodao clinked glasses with Yan Qiang. As long as Sister Qiang remembers to give me a bigger salary increase and a bigger year-end bonus, I will be yours for the rest of my life! "
"Don't worry, your salary will increase every year." Yan Qiang said with a smile.
"Long live Sister Qiang!" Daodao pushed Ling Yin with his shoulder, "Quick, show your attitude. Whether the year-end bonus can be doubled this year depends on your attitude!"
Ling Yinyuan was stunned and quickly raised her soda: "I'll sell myself too!"
Daodao laughed at the side.
I don't know why, but it's funny.
Liang Xun has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has seen many contract termination cases. As long as the contract is not terminated peacefully, the lawsuit will take a long time.
And it will seriously affect the development of artists.
"I have a bad move."
Liang Xun looked at Yan Qiang and coughed slightly, his voice a little weak, "It's really weak. Maybe you can leave the company with a lower penalty, but in the end it depends on whether you can withstand the pressure."
