Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 70 Strike up a conversation
Yu Xin was still trying to build a better relationship with Wang Jing when Jiang Tiantian, who was not far away, took the phone and walked straight to Wang Jing's side. She leaned close and whispered in her ear, "President Wang, President Song is here."

Wang Jing muttered to herself, "Didn't the boss say he couldn't come?" and asked疑惑地问道, "Where is he?"

"Just arrived downstairs at the hotel."

"Excuse me, gentlemen," Wang Jing said, then led Jiang Tiantian to greet Song Ci.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Wang."

"You go ahead and do your work."

Yu Xin and Gao Yuanyuan quickly and politely responded, making way for them.

"Who was that just now?" Yu Xin gestured towards Jiang Tiantian's retreating figure and asked Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan thought carefully, but she had never seen him on set and had no recollection of him at all. She shook her head and said, "I don't know him."

"Let's ask around." Yu Xin saw that Jiang Tiantian could speak directly into Wang Jing's ear, so he figured she must be someone close to Wang Jing, and maybe she was a potential connection.

Gao Yuanyuan understood immediately. She lifted her skirt and swayed gracefully as she moved to Qiao Zhengyu's side, smiling as she asked, "Director Teng, Brother Yu, what are you talking about?"

As the director of "So Young," Teng Huatao was clearly the focus of today's celebration banquet, and he was in a good mood with a bright smile on his face.

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan come over, he didn't stand on ceremony and shared his joy, "Tengda is preparing to make a youth trilogy series. The second part, 'My Old Classmate,' is about to be prepared, and they still want me to direct it."

"Congratulations, Director Teng." Gao Yuanyuan noted down this important news. If she could act in another film, she could solidify her title as a youth goddess and be promoted to a top-tier actress in no time.

"Brother Yu, do you know the person who just called President Wang away?" The two had been working together on set for several months and were already quite familiar with each other, so Gao Yuanyuan asked directly.

It wasn't a company secret, so Qiao Zhengyu answered frankly, "The person you're talking about is President Jiang. She's the assistant general manager of the company, in charge of logistics and administration, and one of the three senior executives of our Tengda Culture."

Gao Yuanyuan successfully obtained the information she wanted. After exchanging a few more polite words with Teng Huatao and Qiao Zhengyu, she returned to Yu Xin's side.

"What did you find out?" Yu Xin asked calmly, taking a sip of champagne.

Gao Yuanyuan recounted the story of "My Deskmate" and Jiang Tiantian's identity, asking Yu Xin for his opinion.

Yu Xin's brain raced, and after a moment he analyzed, "The title 'My Old Classmate' is obviously a youth drama that promotes people, just like 'So Young.' But don't even think about this drama. Tengda won't let you continue playing the female lead unless you offer equivalent resources in exchange."

Gao Yuanyuan also knew that a film and television company would definitely prioritize using its own artists for its self-produced drama projects. Originally, she still had some illusions about "My Old Classmate", but after hearing what Yu Xin said, she finally gave up.

"As for President Jiang that Qiao Zhengyu mentioned, I'll inquire about him later and see if I can make contact with him."

Being able to manage administration certainly gives him influence within Tengda, but Yu Xin doesn't know Jiang Tiantian and has no idea how to establish a relationship with her.

"But in the end, we still need Qiao Zhengyu's help. He's the only acquaintance we have at Tengda Culture, so we have to maintain a good relationship with him."

"You're young and beautiful, so use whatever methods you have. Don't waste your energy on Old Zhang; it's not worth it if you have no status or recognition." Yu Xin thought for a moment, then couldn't help but nag the leading lady.

Gao Yuanyuan glared angrily at Yu Xin, "President Yu, that's my private matter!" She had been criticized terribly by netizens for her affair with Zhang Yadong over the past few years. "Alright, alright, I won't say anything." Seeing that the beauty was annoyed, Yu Xin quickly begged for forgiveness. Gao Yuanyuan was now the company's darling, and he couldn't afford to offend her.

At this moment, Song Ci had just arrived at the lobby of the Beiping Hotel, looking around at this grand hotel that had weathered many storms and was full of legendary stories.

Today, he wore a long gray trench coat, a simple yet sophisticated outfit that, combined with his handsome features, showcased his elegant and refined demeanor.

Before long, Song Ci saw Wang Jing and Jiang Tiantian arrive together, and she greeted them with a smile.

"President Song, why did you suddenly come here again?" Wang Jing asked with a bright smile. She had communicated with Song Ci in advance about the celebration banquet and invited him to attend, but Song Ci had declined because he had something to do.

Song Ci smiled gently and said, "Yes, I come to visit whenever I have time. Why aren't you welcoming me?"

He hadn't originally planned to attend the celebration banquet, but Shen Sisi had been pestering him whenever she had the chance. He didn't know what methods Miss Shen had used to win over his three roommates. Even though she knew about his relationship with Shi Ye, she still helped him and stirred things up, which really bothered him. So he simply left the campus and ran away to find some peace and quiet.

"Look at what you're saying. You're the company boss and the screenwriter of 'So Young.' How could you not welcome us at the celebration banquet?" Wang Jing replied irritably.

"Would President Song like to say a few words on stage later?" Jiang Tiantian also chimed in. Recently, Song Ci had been entrusting her with some personal matters, and her relationship with the boss had improved significantly. She could now be quite at ease in front of Song Ci.

Song Ci shook her head, showing no interest in speaking in this kind of setting. "Forget about speaking, Sister Jing and the crew are the main characters today."

The three of them talked as they took the elevator back to the banquet hall. "President Song, I still have some leaders from the TV station to entertain, so I can't keep you company for now. Tian Tian, ​​please take good care of President Song."

"I don't need your help. You all go ahead. The guests are the priority. I'll just wander around."

Seeing that Song Ci didn't want her to stay by her side, Jiang Tiantian tactfully left, saying, "Then call me if you need anything."

Song Ci waved his hand, indicating that the two did not need to worry about him. He looked around the room and saw that the atmosphere of the banquet was lively and joyful. Tengda's employees and guests were in high spirits, and laughter filled the air.

Song Ci was a little hungry because she hadn't eaten dinner. Seeing the dazzling array of delicious food, her appetite was whetted, and she didn't hold back, picking up a plate of exquisite pastries to enjoy.

"Young man, this sushi has a very unique flavor, would you like to try some?"

Song Ci was enjoying his meal and on his food-hunting journey when a voice suddenly came from behind him, catching his attention.

Turning around, he saw a man standing about a meter away with a small plate of sushi in his hand. Beside him was a woman he recognized; actress Gao Yuanyuan, dressed in a white evening gown, standing there gently and quietly.

Others might get excited to see Gao Yuanyuan and like her portrayal of Zhou Zhiruo, but in this life, he sides with the woman in yellow, and he doesn't care about Minmin or Zhiruo.

Yu Xin was an observant person. He had been paying attention to Wang Jing's actions. The young man in front of him had been welcomed by Wang and Jiang, so he came over specifically to make his acquaintance.

"Thank you!" Song Ci simply replied politely.

Yu Xin didn't mind, placed the plates on the table, and asked with a smile, "Young man, you're quite special. Everyone else is busy socializing, but you're the only one eating. You're quite unique."
