“Oh, nice to et you.” Chen Changqing greeted her with a smile.
“Nice to et you, too.”
Li Anna pursed her lips and looked a little shy and uneasy. She wasn’t sure if she should stay and chitchat with Zhang Han.
“Have a seat,” Zhang Han invited.
“No, thanks. Brother Zhang Han, I’m already very happy that you still rember ,” Li Anna said, smiling. When she intended to leave, she looked ahead and saw several n in black passing by, peering at the roughly 30 custors in the bowling alley.
As Li Anna saw them, her countenance changed slightly.
“Is she in trouble?” Chen Changqing glanced at those n and muttered.
“I...” Li Anna thought for a mont and said, “I don’t want to bother you again.”
The word “again” made Chen Changqing’s expression alter slightly.
“Eh?
“Did sothing happen between the two before?”
He glanced at Zhang Han and did not take the initiative to speak again.
“Just sit with us for a while,” Zhang Han said again.
Zhang Han knew that LI Anna had been exploited by others back then. Even without her, those people would use soone else to harm him all the sa.
He still rembered how she ardently helped him make contacts to rent the mountain.
Now, she was clearly in trouble. Since he had run into her today, Zhang Han didn’t intend to let her face it by herself.
From Li Anna’s expression, he knew that her trouble was quite tricky. But for him, he could sort it out with a few words.
Hearing Zhang Han’s suggestion, Li Anna hesitated for two seconds and then sat down.
“Is it really okay?”
“Yeah.” Zhang Han shook his head slightly and looked at her clothes. It seed that the black stockings above her knees were torn.
“Did you change your job?” Zhang Han asked casually.
“Yes. I’m working in a private company now. The paynt there is relatively higher.” After saying that, Li Anna showed a complicated expression. “Brother Zhang Han, last ti...”
“Let bygones be bygones.” Zhang Han waved his hand.
“She’s there!”
At this ti, the three n in black suits at the door spotted Li Anna and marched over. The man in the lead had a crew cut and looked indifferent.
“Li Anna, you’ve got so nerve! How dare you use violence against Boss Mu!”
“It’s because he went too far,” Li Anna replied, looking slightly flustered.
The man with a crew cut glanced at Zhang Han and Chen Changqing. He didn’t do anything outrageous. Instead, he said with a faint smile, “Co back with us.”
“Sorry, I don’t want to go back upstairs.” Li Anna refused.
“Why are you being so difficult? Don’t forget, your financial problem has yet been settled.”
What the man with a crew cut said made Li Anna’s face pale slightly.
Seeing her expression, the man with a crew cut sneered.
Then, he remarked, “Let’s talk about our business after we get back. We’d better stop disturbing these two gentlen here.”
“There’s no need to talk.”
A voice suddenly ca from the side. There were about six people coming over, who were led by a bald fat man.
The bald man looked at Li Anna and said with a dark smile, “Since Miss Li has t her friends, don’t bother her at the mont.”
The look in his eyes seed to be saying that he would settle scores with her later.
Li Anna was in a panic. She just sat there, not knowing what to say or do.
The bald man walked forward.
Just then, he saw a beige-suited man hurrying over from ahead. He was taken aback, then put on a warm smile shocked, and quickly ca up to greet him.
“Mr. Luo, hahaha, long ti no see.”
The man coming his way was none other than Luo Shan.
“Hi.”
Luo Shan nodded slightly at the bald man but directly ignored the hand he extended toward him. He walked past him and rapidly headed for the back to stand in front of the two people the bald man ignored before. Then, he respectfully said, “Hello, Mr. Zhang.”
“Hiss!”
The bald man’s expression changed.
He didn’t expect that the two sitting with Li Anna would have such a powerful background.
Thinking of what just happened, the bald man began to panic.
Li Anna was his new secretary. He didn’t give her much to do because he didn’t hire her for her ability but for her beauty. It just so happened that Li Anna had made a little mistake in her work, which had caused so losses to the company. Now he had got sothing on her, he wanted to take this opportunity to land this new secretary. However, Li Anna turned out to be rebellious. She resisted vehently.
He thought that Li Anna was his toy, and he could twist her round his little finger. But it turned out that she knew such a big shot.
If he offended a powerful man like Luo Shan, he would be dead at for sure.
“Do you know these n?”
Zhang Han glanced at Luo Shan.
“I guess I know who they are.” Luo Shan turned around and looked at them. The aning of his gaze was that he would not let them off the hook.
“She seems to have so financial problems.” Zhang Han pointed to Li Anna.
“Okay, I see.” Luo Shan bowed slightly and nodded.
“Well, that’s it.” Zhang Han smiled and said, “Let’s go.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Zhang Han and Chen Changqing got up and left.
Li Anna was left behind with a complicated look on her face.
In her impression, Zhang Han was very powerful, but he was not so powerful that he could order boss Luo Shan at will.
After all, who was Luo Shan?
He was the right-hand man of Patriarch Luo of the Luo family, which was the number one family in Xiangjiang.
In the entire Luo family, Luo Shan was only second to the patriarch. He had great power. Even all the rich and powerful families in Xiangjiang were respectful to him.
But such a big shot acted like a subordinate in front of Zhang Han!
That was beyond her.
After Zhang Han and Zi Yan left, Luo Shan’s whole temperant changed. He was no longer calm and steady, but a little aggressive.
He looked at the bald man with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
“So, what financial problem is it? I think we can discuss it.”
“There is no, no problem.” The bald man broke out in a cold sweat.
In the next five minutes, under Li Anna’s watch, the bald man humbly made all kinds of concessions. He voluntarily agreed to terminate the employnt contract with Li Anna, double her salary, and fix all the issues bothering her.
Ten minutes later, the bald man and his n left in dejection.
“Thank you,” Li Anna said.
“You should thank Mr. Zhang,” Luo Shan said.
“I, I don’t have Brother Zhang Han’s phone number. Do you have it?”
“Oh?”
Luo Shan didn’t turn a hair. He said with a smile, “neither do I.”
He was wondering if he should give Li Anna a good job.
But now, Luo Shan had made a conclusion in his mind.
“Li Anna is soone Mr. Zhang knows but is not close to.
“He only told to fix her financial problems. And she doesn’t have his phone number...”
“Li Anna, when looking for a job, you’d better not go to such a small company. It looks good in size. Still, you have to carefully study the backgrounds of the board of directors.”
Luo Shan glanced at Li Anna and said, “I still have sowhere else to be, so please excuse .”
“Thank you so much.”
Just like that, this great trouble in Li Anna’s eyes was fixed by a few words.
After walking out of the club, Zhang Han and Chen Changqing ambled back to the company.
They had so coffee in the company’s restaurant. Their leisure ti passed quickly.
At 3 p.m., a promotion video was quietly released on the Purple Moon Entertainnt Company’s official website.
Not many netizens paid close attention to the official website of Purple Moon Entertainnt Company, but quite a lot of their peers did.
“Is it a trailer?”
“Purple Moon Entertainnt Company hasn’t made any classic films or television works in the past three years. Is it because its creative powers have dried up or it has made more than enough money?”
“Maybe this is just a gimmick Purple Moon Entertainnt Company uses to attract lots of attention. In terms of shooting a movie or a TV play, Purple Moon Entertainnt Company is really subpar now.”
“Yes, the Entertainnt Circle changes every second. Haha, it was only five years ago when I joined the industry. Now, five years have passed. Except for Sun Dongheng, who likes doing live streams, Purple Moon Entertainnt Company has few influential artists. Even Sun Dongheng is barely a first-rate celebrity. But how many second-rate celebrities are there in that company? Just a handful. The rest are not even worth ntioning. Five years ago, Purple Moon Entertainnt Company was in full swing. Pitifully, it missed the opportunity to expand, which led to its lasting sorrow.”
In an entertainnt company, a director who was having a eting with more than 30 people comnted, “In the Entertainnt Circle, we should grasp every business opportunity. Purple Moon Entertainnt Company is a typical negative example. What is the biggest mistake it made? Any of you know that?”
Several subordinates sitting at the table issued their opinions one after another.
“I think it’s that it failed to make any good films or TV works. Since the Pirates of the Caribbean Zi Yan played in broke all box-office records, the company has been going downhill. What a pity!”
“Maybe it’s because the new artists it hired are not very good. Sun Dongheng participated in a few movies, and the box office incos were just average. In the current era, things are changing rapidly, but the works the company produced are old-fashioned. The audience won’t pay to watch those.”
“I think that after Zi Yan, the top female star, backed out, no artists in the company could beco the next mainstay, so it has gradually declined.”
“Yes, the major reason is that Zi Yan went to work behind the scenes. She shouldn’t have quit being a star so early.”
Listening to these analyses, the director nodded and said, “You’re right. Purple Moon Entertainnt Company has declined because of those reasons. To be honest, a few years ago, all the people in the industry predicted that Purple Moon Entertainnt Company would beco a super-large international enterprise. But things changed too fast. Just like a has-been, it’s very difficult to return to Peak-Stage. Purple Moon Entertainnt Company has remained quiet for a long ti. Though it just released a promotion video, it’s already too late. Because the company is trying to get out of a slump after it had its mont, the public will appraise it with slightly stricter standards. Oh, by the way, we haven’t watched this video yet. Let’s see what that company is playing at first.”
“Beep—”
He clicked the video open.
Thump. Thump...
The screen was pitch-black.
Low rhythmic voices could be heard.
The director’s pupils froze for a mont.
“The background music is not bad.
“But the quality of the content matters more.”
Thump. Thump...
When the music reached the second ter, an image erged.
“It’s the universe?”
Everyone was surprised and stopped talking. They all looked at the screen intently.
“Swish!”
As the music ca to the third ter, the image suddenly flashed to the right.
A huge space station appeared in front of them!
There were all kinds of huge spaceships, which seed to be bursting out of the screen!
The cara slowly approached the space station in the void.
Behind the space station was a... planet they had never seen before. Nurous aircraft flew out of the space station and headed for the land behind it like bees.
The cara was getting closer and closer to the space station.
It ca to the nearest spaceship.
Everyone, including the director, felt their scalps go numb.
This spaceship was too gigantic and real!
It was shaped like a python and was completely black, as though it were a giant beast living in the universe.
“Clatter.”
“This...”
The bottle of water in the director’s hand fell to the ground and spilled all over the floor, but he didn’t pay attention to it at all, for he was shocked by the first scene of the video.
Everyone was thinking about one thing at the mont.
“It’s too real!”
The first shot ended. It could be seen that the storyboard designed for it was extrely professional.
Then the second shot started, which showed the Roland Star from far!
It was an erald-green planet.
When looking at it from the void of the universe, it was like a green diamond.
The cara approached the Roland Star.
“Elves!”
“What a beautiful place!”
“Oh my god, where did they shoot this? It’s incredible!”
The video showed the Elf Clan, the Fluorescent Trees, and the side of the waterfall.
It was astonishing.
The scene changed again.
It now displayed the Cloud Shadow Sky
Behind layer upon layer of clouds stood precipitous and strange peaks!
The spectacular view dazzled everyone.
Finally, with the rhythm of the music coming to an end, the video ended. It lasted for two minutes and three seconds.
The entire eting room fell into dead silence.
The director looked a little lost.
He wailed in his head, “I just used Purple Moon Entertainnt Company as a negative example. Now, it has proved wrong with this video.
“Oh, that doesn’t seem to be the case. I should have played the video first!”
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt.
He had actually humiliated himself instead, hadn’t he?
Fortunately, he was the director, so no one dared to say anything. It was just that he was a little embarrassed.
“Ahem, ahem.”
The director coughed lightly and said with a normal look, “to continue with what we discuss, I want to point out that there can be another scenario. If Purple Moon Entertainnt Company makes a classic film or TV work, it will promote the company’s reputation and bring it to the peak.”
