Chapter 38: A piece of meat snatched from the wolf's mouth
Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.
Both brothers feel out of place in the world at this moment, as if they are aliens.
Without talking about sex, this life doesn't smell good.
After a period of mutual silence, Ling Xie had to go to a meeting and said to his brother before leaving, "Go sign a contract, this time Fun Video almost broke the contract, you really think so much of them?"
According to Ling Xie, the company doesn't seem to be anywhere near worthy of the brother's attention. With so much video software available these days, it's hard to break new ground when the market is so saturated.
Ling Xie thinks it can't swallow so many markets in one go, and would rather focus on its own. We would rather focus on our own. We would like to make a good transition slowly instead of seeking other development across fields.
But my brother likes it, this money to buy a he is happy, why not, but now is not happy.
The contract with Fun was delayed for almost a week, and as Jing Rong predicted, the cut-off was not an immediate success once he knew the plot.
Several other companies that handed out olive branches in advance also had more or less unexpected minor situations, but most of them he could solve. But Fun's side was more troublesome, it was the Wu family that came in.
In the days when they were talking about taking a stake in Fun Video, Sen Pai Technology learned about the project somehow and from somewhere, and after learning about it, they also had an interest. After knowing Jing Rong's personal intention to take a stake in the project, they were ready to sign a new agreement with Xiang Qiu in the name of the company.
In their opinion, there is a chance before they officially sign.
Business cooperation, whoever has more chips has a better chance of winning, but not first come first served. Sen Pai Technology has done a lot of things like this.
After consulting with the upper management, their planning department wanted to invest 2.5 million, 1 million in shares and 1.5 million in R&D funds.
Fun's original shareholders are divided, and it's not a question of money. Shi Wu is a large conglomerate that focuses on high-tech and can give more technical support than Jing Rong's personal stake, which is much more suitable than Shi Xie, who started in real estate.
Jing Rong had expected that the will of the world would not be so easy to send such a large golden finger to the hands of the cannon fodder for nothing, and indeed the original is obviously just a wide net of Fun Shi Wu, suddenly interested in this small company.
Jing Rong decided to take the initiative and had to get the contract signed before Hanqi Wu noticed.
He took the initiative to contact Xiang Qiu and made a good point, explaining why he was bullish on Fun and its future prospects, showing that he was not investing blindly.
Jing Rong wants to bet, bet on time.
His artificiality, faster than the will of God.
He believes that Hanqi Wu himself will rarely ask for such small investments.
But this person's vision is surprisingly sharp and precise, Jing Rong is very scrupulous about this person, if possible, try to avoid.
As long as Hanqi Wu does not interfere, the chances of winning are high.
Xiang Qiu hesitated, too much temptation ahead.
He was born a technician and did not like to socialize, nor did he want to go back on his word, Jing Rong was the one who appeared in his desperate situation. He was given an extra sum of money to pay his salary before he signed the contract, and this money solved the urgent need.
This extra subsidy, which is not part of the contract, is taken by Jing Rong from his own coffers, so breaking the contract does not affect Fun's signing with another company.
This is the key to Xiang Qiu's decision to keep his word, and he believes in the character of the shareholder.
And from the company's point of view, he actually prefers to work with investors like Jing Rong who are quick and easy but don't interfere with their operations, like Sen Pai Technology, which has a lot of rules and regulations when the company is big. Previously, they had already proposed some changes to their software, and if they really wanted to follow their requirements, Fun would have to change the entire kernel.
Looking for investment for most of the month, he has seen all kinds of things on earth, understand a truth, the human heart is unpredictable, a heart to let go of their investors, perhaps more reliable than the random investment in large companies.
Today is the day Jing Rong officially signed the contract. As soon as the alarm went off early in the morning, Jing Rong immediately opened her eyes and made Xi Gu the breakfast specified by the other party and brought it to the door of her room.
There was a knock on the door and the person inside muttered, then made a soft Jiangnan-like grunt that looked like it was coming from under the covers, "Is it breakfast, just leave it at the door."
Looks like he didn't wake up, rolled over and went back to sleep.
Soft voice, listen to the people who want to send all the treasures in the world to him.
Jing Rong but not the general Alpha, the temple veins slowly emerge, although you are a senior, but not too nonchalant point.
Jing Rong discovered that Xi Gu is actually a bit of a scoundrel underneath that cool and self-possessed exterior.
A little angry, but also a little funny, at least Xi Gu trusts him, he is really see.
Take a deep breath and say, "I'm going to the office today, I'll be back as soon as possible before lunch, how's your health."
The person inside was still very sleepy, covered his head and rolled around wrapped in the blanket.
With a thud, he fell to the carpet on all fours.
The posture was so indecent that Xi Gu, who is good at behavior management, snapped awake and immediately adjusted her over-indulgent posture.
Look around in confusion.
It's a familiar room, and a familiar voice.
The small beast-like wary eyes suddenly softened.
Hearing the man outside who was still ordering, he straightened his hair, cleared his throat, and said with some reserve in his gentleness, "I'm fine, please, in fact, I have no problem with take-out for breakfast."
If he eats any more, he's afraid his heart won't be able to control it.
Jing Rong doesn't think so: "I'm going to eat it myself, so there's no difference between making one serving and two."
Xi Gu felt like waking up today, something was different.
The smell in the air he could not smell himself, and only felt the lightness of his body.
Is that the end of the rut?
Xi Gu looked incredulously at the hands, at the body.
From his developmental years to now as an adult, his estrus has never been that smooth.
Jing Rong listened to the sound through the door again, and fell asleep again?
Xi Gu in heat was surprisingly quiet, never bothered him, even the painful dozen of drugs, Xi Gu did not make a sound, if not for the daily note at the door, Jing Rong would have thought that no one was next to him.
Only one night, Jing Rong got up in the middle of the night and vaguely heard the unbearable sound of pain from next door.
Very low, very low, so low that he almost ignored to go.
Jing Rong did not knock on the door, he knew that Xi Gu's self-esteem was very strong and did not want to be discovered by himself, so he just pretended not to find out.
He admired and could not help but feel a little pity, too strong people, always live harder than normal people.
Making sure that Xi Gu is sleeping like a dead pig in his room at the moment, he puts his micro signal on the note he passes today and asks Xi Gu to contact him if there is an emergency.
When you think about it, they are considered to know each other, actually even each other's contact information, as an Alpha, this kind of thing should be a little more active.
When I went out, I felt that I was watched by some kind of eyes.
Jing Rong looked around and saw no one suspicious.
Xi Gu on the second floor stands silently behind the curtain, notices Jing Rong looking upstairs and quickly leaves the window.
Seeing Jing Rong did not find himself, he exhaled and slowly sat down.
Xi Gu can't help but roll on the ground when he thinks about all the things he did during the days of rut.
Rolled a few rounds, silently stopped, stretching his arms and legs out naturally and looking at the ceiling.
"Well, shame on you."
What will he think of me? Crazy and shameless Omega?
The initiative pounced on it and was pushed away, or to be precise, pushed away repeatedly.
"Ah-" I am not Xi Gu, and the one who was repeatedly rejected is not me.
Looking at the next room, luckily the people are gone.
He has rarely been so relaxed, these days, actually feel like the best days since he was born.
Xi Gu knocked down his chest, stop being greedy, you've got too much, hurry up and collect yourself.
Xi Gu started to deal with the work that had piled up during this time in order to keep himself from thinking about his awkward time with Jing Rong.
Apologize again, yes, again, to all absentee collaborators separately.
When he decided to stand the company up, he had already explained his health condition in advance with all the people and companies that would be affected during this time, and said he would refund the breach of contract as promised. He will also recommend other stars around him to replace him during his absence. Xi Gu is well-connected in the entertainment industry, and there are few people who are willing to return the favor when he is in trouble.
Xi Gu is the top stream, and most companies will choose to settle when he is so sincere and does a good job.
Otherwise, he did not take the trip for no reason things have already fermented, now there are just some rumors. Although the studio was pitted again, but in the fan control comment period, plus he also spent a lot of money in advance to buy a lot of water army daily brush comment, the impact has been reduced to the smallest extent.
Xi Gu intended to sell the house he had taken out a loan on, he didn't want to go back, and when he thought that Juelian Fang, whom he regarded as his best friend, was thinking of him in that way, Xi Gu didn't want to stay there anymore, so he sold it to pay for the breach of contract during this period.
His scandal with Jiarui Xun has run out of steam and has long been dominated by other news.
Xi Gu has never given a response and most of Xi Gu's fans and Jiarui Xun's fans have fallen out, except for some CP fans, who don't want both sides to be tied to each other.
Xi Gu's fans think that the other side touch porcelain, look at our brother's reasoning? And then look at our brother's curry, and then look at your family, before is a foot wash maid, selling misery out of the circle. You are just rubbing the heat, reasoning you is to give you a sedan chair for nothing.
Jiarui Xun's fans think Xi Gu has a lot of scandals, who does not know Xi Gu once in a while to spread a scandalous object, such a showbiz social flower, our brother is not rare, don't put gold on your face.
The scandal that could have been hot a handful of fans of both families tore up the boiling.
After Xi Gu went online, he first contacted a big fan with his own microblogging number. Before he tore his face off with the company, Xi Gu's previous whereabouts and movements, the company would occasionally contact the big fan and let the other side do some support work.
The big fan ran to the support group and cried for hours after finding out that it was Xi Gu himself who contacted him. The fans almost went crazy with the dozens of big support groups after knowing Xi Gu's own thanks.
You should know that Xi Gu is notoriously cold, usually not to mention interactive, most of the time even smiling faces are rare, occasionally a response that is a shooting star across the sky.
But fans have expressed their understanding, not at all wanting to force their brother who has worked hard on his career to be forced to smile again, it's all happening for a reason ah.
When Xi Gu first debuted, some crazy fans came to the event with acid and forced Xi Gu to be with them. They also said that Xi Gu must have liked them because they smiled at them during the book signing, which is beyond common understanding.
Most of their fans are actually very repulsive to this non-sense, they powder brother, would not want to hurt brother.
After that time, Xi Gu almost got poured with acid, after that Xi Gu seldom smiled in public, even if he smiled, he only smiled lightly, very polite and distant kind.
We all can't wait to feel the pain, where do we still want Xi Gu to respond, brother as long as the safety is good.
My God, my brother is thanking us.
As evidenced by the chat screenshot, the brother thanked us for the controlled commentary during this time and said it was hard work.
Brother you are the archangel descending ah, you are the archangel, down to earth hard oooooooooooooooo. We do all this should be, powder on you are also too happy!
Xi Gu also saw that Shengteng Xu and Qi Yang's presence in the bureau was exposed and indeed published in the media, but Shengteng Xu and others found out that Xi Gu had posted the specious tweet in advance, and then hired a water force to suppress the news of their presence in the bureau, while fanning the flames of Xi Gu's unexplained absences from work again.
Fans never realized that it was Teng Sheng who was behind it.
Over the years, Xi Gu's company seems to have worked very well with him, and one would not normally associate anything bad with him.
Shengteng Xu is a person who can do superficial work and marketing, the company is also relatively formal, the resources given to Xi Gu is not bad, except for the gap of three years, almost nothing can be accused, will never reveal that big handle outside.
This time, if one's pheromones weren't overbearing, one might not have gotten that much evidence.
Think you guys are the only ones who can find a water force?
Xi Gu clicked on his phone album and found the video of that day. After a darkness, there was the ceiling.
The darkness was because he found Shengteng Xu on top of himself while his phone was under the covers, and the ceiling was because he kicked the covers off later.
That day he not only took the taser, but also in the heat of the moment the phone that had been hidden under the covers pressed open.
When he got up from bed, he had already clicked on the camera function, and with a little processing he could sell it to the media, but he wasn't going to sell it to the media this time.
Because it was so disgusting at the time.
Although nothing was captured, but the sound of their conversation and the sound of the police is enough.
As Xi Gu's absenteeism continued to fester to a crescendo, Xi Gu posted the processed video to his Weibo account.
And regardless of the ensuing bloodbath, once again opened the flight mode.
He started looking for Jing Rong's account, and after he found it, he quit the big one and followed it with the small one.
Then I looked for Jing Rong's global fan support official blog, but found that there was no ......?
It is also true that although Jing Rong was hot for a while a few years ago, but then it fell silent, and now there is no support group is quite normal.
Xi Gu is suddenly a little uncomfortable, he can't say, just a little sad.
Why not Jing Rong?
He should have, must have, how can he be so good without a back up club.
Gu Xiaoxi is now very unhappy.
If not, he will build one himself.
Xi Gu never built this kind of support blog, after understanding the process, began to learn how to apply for an account, and at the same time, and applied for the support group Q1, Q2, temporarily get two, and then add more people later.
And Jing Rong's previous reputation is not very good, in order to prevent trouble, it is best for him to personally review the fans, to avoid mixing in some phi black.
Although Xi Gu had never done it before, he could learn.
If you don't understand anything, just follow the process that the previous broker said, and learn like a beginner. Xi Gu occasionally asks peers who know.
He was contacted by Big Pink and seemed to be worried about the video, but this time Xi Gu did not reply.
Xi Gu went to Weibo to look at his big number, and the bottom of his message area had fallen.
This time, Jing Rong arrived at Ling Xie's company and had the conversation with his brother just now.
This time, both parties signed the contract with sincerity, and Jing Rong looked at the sky outside from the moment he signed the contract.
Just into the company is a clear sky, and suddenly dark clouds, as if to herald a thunderstorm will come.
Against the odds, it's indeed time for a change.
Just after the last signing, Jing Rong and Xiang Qiu shook hands routinely when Hanqi Wu called.
It was hard to grab a piece of meat in the wolf's mouth, and the wolf came to call, which was unexpected and reasonable.
Jing Rong came to a quiet place, looked at the caller ID, calmed down, and clicked to connect.
Hanqi Wu's elegant voice came: "Little guy, I heard that you recently scuttled a project that our family was interested in?"
Jing Rong took Zhou You and walked into the elevator with a smile: "Uncle Qi, how can it be stirred up, and this is the first thing I saw and signed the letter of intent, at most I was quick. In business, you can't talk about personal feelings, this is what you taught me before."
Hanqi Wu was not angry, but appreciated the way Jing Rong was comfortable with himself, unlike many of the younger generation who were scared to death of him.
"Know how to block me with my words?"
"Uncle Qi, do you really want to be bothered with me?" Jing Rong replied childishly, from the short time he spent together, he found that Hanqi Wu had a bit of a look at him as a junior, and he would mostly go along with the other side. This kind of controlling man, it is useless to confront him, he has a way to force people to give in.
As expected, Hanqi Wu is very happy with Jing Rong's pampering.
"This is just a small thing, you want to sign it, do not cry to uncle when it fails. Ling Xiao has told me that investing in black holes, and I want to see if you are a black hole." The car happened to pass Shi Xie building, Hanqi Wu casually pointed out, let the driver stop at the curb, continue to close their eyes to recuperate, "I still have four hours to board the plane, Jing Xiao on behalf of your father to send off uncle?"
With more than 20 years of friendship between Wu and Xie, it is normal to go to the plane to send off.
The Wu family has always given face to the Xie family, even the last time Jing Rong made Jian Huang to the toilet to lose face, the Huang family wanted to take it up, but Hanqi Wu said: "Just a fight between children. The Huang family did not dare to confront Hanqi Wu and chose to let the matter rest.
In fact, Ling Xie can also be settled, but Ling Xie's seniority where, may be a little blood. Now Hanqi Wu has solved the problem in advance, and this favor must be owed even if it is not. Jing Rong had a thank-you call afterwards, but it didn't mean he liked getting along with the other side.
He thought of ways to refuse, this old fox can be too cunning, who knows he appreciates himself, what medicine sold in the gourd.
"It's too inconvenient for me to come out today without an umbrella in this heavy rainstorm. How about next time I come to Shanghai, how about coming to visit the Wu family?" The dark clouds just now, soon outside crackled and rang with the sound of rain.
Hanqi Wu closed his eyes and smiled: "I was in Shangjing this time, you say good things, but you have not contacted once, and still come to Shanghai? It's not a good habit to keep your word, remember what you said when you were a kid, do ten things for your uncle?"
Ten things?
Jing Rong recalled that there was.
When the original owner was young, in order to keep the busy Hanqi Wu company, she cheated and said that she would promise Hanqi Wu ten things as long as he could stay with her for one day.
The Hanqi Wu vacuum out a day to accompany, did not expect nine years did not pay attention to the original owner, actually this time suddenly talk about this.
Jing Rong finally found a company today, work is also very busy, next time must send a reason to send Hanqi Wu's invitation, joking, the old fox's appointment can casually respond to it.
Jing Rong had just walked out of the building when he saw the man under the eaves, holding two umbrellas, covering his arms against the wind and rain, wearing a classic duck-tongue hat and mask.
Two slender legs overlapping, quietly watching the glass roof intermittent as if pearly raindrops, beautiful as if a painting.
Sitting simply like this also makes people entering and leaving the building can't help but look at this man who seems to have a very good figure and temperament.
This time, Jing Rong could tell who the other person was without taking off his disguise.
Jing Rong watched the rain drift onto the man, who did not notice that Jing Rong had come out, but quietly admired the rain outside.
The mind suddenly crossed a sentence from a previous book, you are looking at the landscape, looking at the landscape people are looking at you.
Behind him, Zhou You reminded him that the car was overhauled and could be driven over later, Jing Rong shook his head: "I want to walk back today."
Zhou You saw the person who came over to deliver the umbrella, as if anticipating something, expressed understanding and smiled a little.
Jing Rong looked at Zhou You as if he knew something, a little want to explain, he and Xi Gu really nothing, is simply living together for a few days.
Forget it, cohabitation itself is not pure, the more you describe the darker.
Jing Rong walked straight over: "What brings you to this side of the office, is your... over?"
Xi Gu's joy flashed when he saw a familiar pair of shoes coming to him.
"Are you going to take the car back today?" It was only now that Xi Gu drifted back to his senses, as if he had come for nothing. He put his umbrella behind him without a trace, not wanting Jing Rong to see it, and pretended that he had just come to sit down.
"No sitting, I want to exercise today."
Xi Gu stood up with a sigh of relief, which shoved the umbrella into Jing Rong's hand.
It is Jing Rong's particularly familiar aloof look, aloof, yet something seems to be different.
"Well, it's over." Xi Gu knew what he was going to ask, thought it might be a little too cold to talk like that, and added, "Join us for lunch? I've ordered a meal out."
After building the support group, he made a post on Film academy's forum. He used to read in Film academy and knew that it was very difficult to become famous in the forum, and Film academy itself was full of tigers and hidden dragons, so he might be able to be promoted and find a few fans to try first.
That's it, a few applications for the support blog and several hours have passed.
When I saw that it was suddenly raining heavily outside, I thought that Jing Rong must not have brought an umbrella because the sun was still shining outside this morning.
With hidden apprehension, I await Jing Rong's reply.
This is the first time Xi Gu has invited an Alpha to lunch.
Jing Rong of course, he knows the original, Xi Gu is not like to owe a favor to the nature.
"Good."
Xi Gu laughed at Jing Rong's simple response.
Obscured by the mask, Jing Rong can only see the beautiful peach blossom eyes under the brim of the hat, extending out of the rosy arc.
Jing Rong was close to feeling like she was saying yes, something that was important to Xi Gu.
Well, it's not good to be too narcissistic.
Silently taking the umbrella, the two walked slowly through the rain.
Although there was no dialogue, but both felt that the atmosphere of this moment is not awkward at all, the noise in the ears gradually receded, only the other figure beside.
Xi Gu watched the water splashing on the ground and the raindrops dripping along the umbrella bones, and was itching to catch them.
Bear with it, the image is important, you were close to having little image.
Passing by a couple talking and laughing, the laughter conveyed their happiness.
For once, he doesn't seem to be alone.
A gust of wind came and hit Xi Gu with the rain.
Although wrapped up tightly, but he just came out of heat, Jing Rong frowned hard.
"Hold the umbrella together."
Xi Gu was fixing the umbrella bone and stopped moving.
He did not find the umbrella at the villa, the two umbrellas he bought at the convenience store, which would have been cheaper less solid.
Seeing Jing Rong standing under the umbrella, he calmly invited himself.
Xi Gu's eyes blinked, he had always warned himself that if he was too greedy, God would take back his blessings.
He just thought it smelled too good at first, so he wanted to smell it.
Later, when I saw the pancakes themselves falling from the sky, I couldn't bear to push them out, so I wanted to take a small bite.
Greed is a disease, Xi Gu.
As if to conceal his mood, Xi Gu hung his head sharply.
Let the reversed umbrella bones float along the wind direction and the wind and rain blow to themselves.
It's time to reject.
But Xi Gu found himself unable to say no, stuck in his throat with an uncomfortable feeling.
Being at this time.
A car pulls up beside them and the glass window slides down to reveal Hanqi Wu's gentle face.
" Jing Xiao , work is done?"
