Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 63: No Initiative, No Rejection, and Absolutely No Responsibility

Jimenli Community

"Brother, you're amazing. When the price reached 65,000, he refused to budge. I thought the negotiation was going to fall apart, but in the end, that guy actually agreed."

Lin Jiachuan talked about the negotiation process when he followed Yan Li to acquire the Internet cafe license, and praised Yan Li highly.

"He has poor psychological quality, and I saw through his flaws."

Yan Li just casually mentioned it. In his heart, there was really nothing to be proud of.

Before the negotiation, he had already learned the bottom price from the system.

As long as you keep the rhythm of the conversation steady and employ certain negotiation skills so as not to anger the other party or reveal your own cards, you can basically get the item at the reserve price or slightly above it.

At the beginning, Yan Li was excited because he could use the system to cheat when negotiating prices. Later, after experiencing more negotiations, he became accustomed to it.

Of course, this is also related to a small business worth only tens of thousands of yuan.

Yan Li is now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, so saving twenty or thirty thousand dollars through negotiations doesn't really give him a sense of accomplishment.

If a business deal is concluded in the future and he can save hundreds of thousands or millions, he will be happier than Lin Jiachuan.

As he was about to reach the apartment building, Yan Li suddenly saw someone waving at him from a distance.

After a glance, Yan Li hesitated for a moment and stopped: "Chuan'er, I'm out of cigarettes. You go up first, I'll go buy two packs of cigarettes."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiachuan, as Yan Li's assistant, naturally volunteered: "I'll go buy it."

"It's okay, it's just a few steps. You've been tired all day, go up and rest."

"Okay, I'll go up."

Lin Jiachuan didn't insist and left after saying hello. Yan Li watched him enter the building before turning around and walking towards the man who had just waved, his tone stiff.

"Why are you here?"

"Brother."

Huang Shengyi's cheeks flushed slightly, and he called out softly, "I have a classmate who lives here. I came here to visit her, but I didn't expect to run into you."

Jimenli Community is right opposite Beijing Film Academy, and the distance is very close. Indeed, many students from Beijing Film Academy rent houses here.

However, it is hard to say whether Huang Shengyi has any classmates living here. Anyway, Yan Li saw from the system that she asked someone about her residence.

"What did you call me for just now?"

Yan Li did not expose him and directly asked about his purpose. Huang Shengyi looked at him with some grievance, with redness in the corners of his eyes.

"Brother, you were so gentle to me before, why are you so different now?"

Huang Shengyi has a pretty face and pure temperament. When she looks at you with tearful eyes, there is a kind of stubborn innocence and a touch of sadness. I feel pity for her and she is very touching.

Hey!
This acting skill is much better than half a year ago. Yan Li was applauding Huang Shengyi's performance in his heart, but at the same time he felt a little eager to try it.

Delicate little white flowers and the like are the most fun to bully!

However, Yan Li still did not make a move, but seemed to be moved, his attitude softened a little, and he allowed Huang Shengyi to explain in a gentle and apologetic tone.

"...You didn't contact me at that time, and I was angry with you...I didn't like him, I was just being coaxed. You know, I'm very sensitive...Now we've broken up..."

Finally, Huang Shengyi looked at Yan Li pitifully, and said in a soft voice: "Brother, can you forgive me?"

Yan Li didn't comment, but stamped his feet: "It's too cold outside, I'll take you to eat."

"it is good."

Huang Shengyi's eyes flashed with joy. He didn't accept it, but he didn't refuse it either. There was a chance.

It was cold, so Yan Li found a hot pot restaurant and booked a small private room.

There was heating in the box, and they ordered shabu-shabu hotpot, so it was a bit stuffy. Huang Shengyi took off his coat and put on a white slim sweater, which showed off his exquisite curves and elegant temperament.

You really put in some effort!

Yan Li felt that it was a pity for this girl to spend all her time on him. It would be much better for her to find a rich young man to be with. Maybe she could just become his mistress.

"Brother, try this beef."

Huang Shengyi stood up and served Yan Li some food, further showcasing her graceful and alluring figure. Yan Li silently drank a sip of the Arctic Ocean, suppressing his anger. Ever since breaking up with Dong Xuan, he had flirted with Qin Lan once, but they hadn't actually gotten into any real trouble.

Although he has had a lot of social engagements recently, Yan Li never touches those girls in the entertainment industry.

The psychological difficulty is one thing, but the more critical issue is insecurity, which can easily pose a risk to one's career or health.

However, as a young man with a lot of energy, and having been a vegetarian for so long, Yan Li was inevitably a little energetic.

I had been thinking that if things didn't work out, I could go visit Dong Xuan on set later, or try to deepen the relationship with my schoolmate Zhao Ke, who I've been chatting with quite well recently. However, I didn't expect Huang Shengyi to come to me today.

In fact, for Yan Li, it doesn’t matter if she comes back to him a few times. What he is afraid of is that she will stay there and cling to him.

Therefore, although Yan Li was somewhat active in his thoughts, his attitude was still lukewarm.

The main feature is not to take the initiative, not to refuse, and absolutely not to take responsibility!

"Brother, it's cold, let's have a drink."

Seeing that Guang was unable to chat while eating, Huang Shengyi took the initiative to ask for some wine to liven up the atmosphere and lighten the mood.

Yan Li hesitated and agreed: "...Okay."

The effect was indeed good. Yan Li was obviously much more cheerful than before, and his speech and behavior were more approachable.

Huang Shengyi struck while the iron was hot and sat close to Yan Li, and the atmosphere gradually became charming and ambiguous.

After three rounds of drinks, the meal was almost over. Huang Shengyi, who was a little tipsy, was half leaning in Yan Li's arms, and Yan Li couldn't push him away even if he tried "hard".

Yan Li's voice sank slightly: "It's getting late, let me take you back to school."

Huang Shengyi hugged Yan Li's waist and rubbed his cheek against his: "I... don't want to go back."

"Then shall I take you to the hotel to rest?"

Yan Li asked, Huang Shengyi hesitated and didn't say anything, obviously he hadn't made up his mind yet.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go and pay the bill."

Yan Li didn't ask her any further, letting her think for herself before going out to pay the bill. Huang Shengyi patted her dizzy head, a look of struggle flashing across her pretty face.

She was not stupid, and she understood Yan Li's intentions to some extent. She was afraid that she would be taken advantage of and refused to admit her mistake.

But if she didn't let Yan Li get the benefits, she was afraid that the relationship that had been eased with great difficulty would return to the past, and she was even more afraid that Yao Xiqian and the others would get there first.

Thinking of this, Huang Shengyi suddenly noticed that Yan Li’s mobile phone was left on the table and he hadn’t taken it away.

She gritted her teeth, took the phone, and quickly flipped through the call logs and text message inbox.

Nothing was found in the call logs, but Huang Shengyi saw a familiar name in the text message inbox and felt something was wrong.

Just as I was about to take a closer look at the content, I vaguely felt someone coming and quickly put the phone back where it was. Ten seconds later, Yan Li pushed open the door.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to school."

Huang Shengyi shook his head repeatedly: "I don't want to go back. They are all gossipy. When they saw me drinking, they asked random questions."

"Then where did you say you were going?"

Huang Shengyi rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Can I go to your house?"

She knew that Yan Li shared the house with someone else, and with a stranger present, even if Yan Li wanted to turn his back on her, he would be embarrassed. Maybe if she could do it well, she could even turn the tables.

Yan Li looked at her deeply and said, "Okay, let's go to my house."

After the two left the hot pot restaurant, Yan Li first went to a convenience store to buy some things, then stopped a taxi, exchanged a few words with the driver, and asked Huang Shengyi to get in the car.

Huang Shengyi initially thought that Yan Li was worried that she would feel uncomfortable in the wind after drinking too much, and secretly praised him for being thoughtful. However, as he watched the car driving further and further away, he was a little confused.

"Isn't this the way to Jimenli?"

Yan Li looked at her strangely: "Who said we're going back to Jimenli? I have more than one family."

Huang Shengyi: “…”
