Daddy Academy

Chapter 2558 The Silly Child Who Takes Advantage of Other’s Misfortune
If Yu Qin wants to get close to Zhang Tan, he needs to establish a personal relationship with him, not just a working relationship like he has now.

The most effective way to establish personal relationships is to establish exchanges between the two families.

His wife thought about it and made a suggestion: "Isn't Xiaoyou's birthday coming up in a few days? Invite Xiaobai to join. They are both children, so they will definitely have something to talk about."

Yu Qin asked in surprise: "Xiaoyou is 16 years old, and Xiaobai is just eight years old! There is a generation gap between the two."

His wife said, "They are all children, and they are all girls! How can there be a generation gap?? There is no problem!"

Yu Qin added, "Xiaoyou is going to invite many of her classmates and friends to come that day. Can Xiaobai chat with her when he comes?"

"I'll tell Xiaoyou about it later."

Yu Qin thought for a moment and said, "How about this, in addition to inviting Xiaobai, we can also invite Mr. Zhang's goddaughter. That way, Xiaobai will have a companion and won't be bored."

His wife asked curiously, "Who is Mr. Zhang's goddaughter?"

"She is a little girl named Tan Xier. She is very cute and loves to laugh. She always looks happy."

His wife said, "Then find a chance to invite Zhang Tan in the next two days. I'll go talk to Xiaoyou."

"I'll be with Zhang Tan tomorrow, and I'll mention it to him then."

Yu Qin was about to take a shower when his wife Wan Zhen suddenly said, "Did you watch the news? Sun Jianrong mentioned The Matrix in an interview today, and what he said was not very nice."

Yu Qin stopped, turned around and asked, "Sun Jianrong? What did he say?"

Wan Zhen said: "He complained that the cinema company gave him too many screenings and gave them too few, so the box office of the two movies was so different."

Yu Qin sneered and said disdainfully, "He is just being stubborn. His own movie is obviously not good, but he blames the schedule. If his movie is good, would the theater company not increase the number of screenings for him? Who wouldn't want to make money? He is putting the cart before the horse, making specious arguments, and just making excuses for himself. Don't pay any attention to him."

At the same time, at the Little Red Horse Academy, Xiaobai is excitedly applying to Zhang Tan that she wants to visit the art museum with Xiaomi tomorrow.

"Bring Xiwawa and Xiao Xiaobai. Xiaomi will go, Chengcheng will go, Liuliu and Dudu will go, too. Everyone will go."

Xiaobai has already made plans. He is not here to apply to Old Man Zhang, but to notify him.

Zhang Tan asked what time tomorrow, and Xiaobai said that they had to arrive at the art museum at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

Zhang sighed and said, "But I have a meeting at the company tomorrow morning. I have to attend."

Tomorrow morning's meeting is the half-yearly summary meeting of Xiaohongma Film and Television Company, and he will definitely attend as the chairman.

Xiao Bai seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, so he immediately said: "It's okay, it's okay, old man, you go, we can just ask Sister Jin'er to take us there, Sister Jiamin will also go, we can take care of ourselves, we can still have fun without you."

Zhang Tan: "..."

Seeing that his old man was silent, Xiao Bai thought that he was unhappy because he couldn't go play with him, so he volunteered to say, "Old man, do you want to go play with us too? What meeting do you have tomorrow? Tell me, I'll ask for leave for you. Who should I call? Brother Xiao Guang, right?"

She naturally picked up the mobile phone that her old man had placed next to him, and skillfully unlocked the password. She then said that she was about to call and ask for leave from her old man.

Zhang Tan thought to himself, "As the chairman, who else can I ask for leave from? If I don't attend, this meeting won't be held."

He explained the reason to Xiao Bai, who understood and patted his shoulder, comforting him not to be sad. "Don't be sad, old man. I won't abandon you. I'll go explore the way tomorrow. If it's fun, I'll take you there next time. We'll go by ourselves. I'll take you there whenever you're free, okay?"

Why does this sound like coaxing a child? Zhang Tan expressed his gratitude, and Xiaobai ran to find Xiaomi and the others happily. They gathered together and chattered about how to play tomorrow.

The next morning, Zhang Tan went to the company early. Before he left, he happened to meet Tan Jin'er coming to the school with Xiao Xiaobai and Xi'er. Xiao Xiaobai was carrying a yellow cartoon schoolbag, which was bulging. I don't know what was in it. There was also a water bottle hanging around his neck. Xi'er was carrying a yellow duck bag, which was also bulging, and there was also a water bottle hanging around her neck.

The two looked like they were going on a long journey.

As soon as the two saw Zhang Tan leaving, they greeted him with laughter. The silly child Xiao Xiaobai laughed especially happily, waved his hands loudly and said, "Uncle, you can't go play with us - hahahaha~~~~~"

I don't know what she was laughing at, and her laughter sounded very gloating. I really wanted to pinch her cheeks and make her cry.

"Jin'er, thank you for your hard work today." Zhang Tan said to Tan Jin'er.

"It's not hard, just go to the company without worries." Tan Jiner spoke gently, giving people a sense of quiet strength.

Zhang sighed and said, "I gave the car keys to Xiaobai. Go upstairs and ask Xiaobai for them later."

Tan Jiner said: "We can take a taxi. If you want to use a car, you can drive there."

Zhang sighed, "It's inconvenient to take a taxi, and the weather is hot, so driving is better. As for me, there's a company car coming to pick me up, so you can use it without worry, but be careful when driving."

After hearing this, Tan Jin'er said no more and reminded him to be careful on the road.

Outside the school, the company's black car had arrived. Zhang Tan said goodbye to them and got in the car and left. He thought that he should buy another car. It wouldn't be a waste to have two cars at home.

Shortly after Zhang Tan left, Tan Jiner also left the Little Red Horse Academy with a few other children, preparing to go directly to the Pujiang Art Museum, where they would meet up with Xiaomi and the others.

On the other side, after Zhang Tan arrived at the company, he sat in the office for a while, and then, at the reminder of Wang Wenming, he went to the meeting room next door.

All the staff have arrived. They are all senior managers of Xiaohongma Film and Television Company. Only Zhang Tan’s main seat is empty.

Zhang Tan walked in and sat down at the main seat. Office Director Wang Wenming followed him into the meeting room, turned around and closed the door, then sat down at a seat at the back of the meeting room, took out a notebook and pen, and prepared to take notes of the meeting.

After Zhang Tan sat down, he smiled and said, "Everyone is in good spirits."

Everyone is in high spirits and full of vigor. On the one hand, they are all young people. Among them, the oldest are General Manager Wu Zebing and Deputy General Manager Li Qing, both of whom are 35 years old. The others are in their twenties and thirties. The whole team is full of integrity. On the other hand, of course, the currently popular movie "The Matrix" has been a huge hit in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, which has allowed everyone to see a bright future.

There are still second and third parts of "The Matrix" waiting. According to preliminary estimates, these trilogy should be able to bring the company tens of billions of box office revenue, catching up with the market value of many listed companies.

Zhang Tan's tone was relaxed, and the atmosphere in the conference room became even more relaxed, with everyone in high spirits.

General Manager Wu Zebing said with a smile: "At present, the reputation and box office of "The Matrix" are both rising, and other film and television projects are also being prepared in full swing. Everyone's mental state and work enthusiasm are very good. When "The Matrix" was first launched, we encountered many setbacks. Except for ourselves, no one else had confidence and was worried, afraid that the investment would go to waste. It was the chairman who had a far-sighted vision and made strategic plans, which gave us sufficient confidence and pushed the project forward. This is how we presented a science fiction masterpiece to the audience and left a strong mark on Chinese film and television."

Wu Zebing took the opportunity to tactfully tell Zhang Tan that everyone was in good spirits because of your correct leadership, which went against all odds and led to the release of "The Matrix". Now that the movie is so popular, everyone sees a bright future, so they are in good spirits.

Wu Zebing continued without pausing, "It is thanks to the correct leadership of the chairman and the concerted efforts of everyone that the company's performance in the past six months has been booming, continuing the good momentum of growth in the past year, and all undertakings are progressing very smoothly. I propose that before the meeting, everyone give a warm round of applause to the chairman and the company, wishing the company smooth development and abundant financial resources."

As he took the lead in applauding, everyone in the conference room applauded enthusiastically. Zhang Tan also followed suit, thinking to himself, I just said that everyone was in good spirits, but Wu Zebing came up with a bunch of flattery. He was really like an old sow in a bra, one set after another, and his ability to flatter was comparable to that of Liuliu.
