Jiang Ruochu walked out of the classroom and looked down curiously.

Chu Morong was seen standing at the entrance of the corridor, looking like an angry bird.

"Chu Morong, don't be so ungrateful! This is not the attitude you showed when you were humbly asking me for investment."

"Yes! I am short of funds, but I am not that lowly!"

"It's okay if you don't want to. Don't you have a lot of new people in your company? There must be a few who want resources and want to get ahead. You can introduce them to me, and I'll put the money aside. How about that?"

The other party seemed to think that his approach of settling for the second best was very generous, but unexpectedly, Chu Morong became even angrier.

"You think I'm a brothel owner?! I'm introducing you to new people? Just because you have a little money, you can't control the two pounds of fat in your lower body? Take your trifles and get out of here!"

"Chu Mo Rong! You are aloof and proud! Do you think your aloofness and pride can make you a living? When you are desperate, don't come back crying and beg me!"

The cursing on the other end of the phone was so loud that it could be heard echoing in the corridor. Plus, Jiang Ruochu had very good hearing now, so she heard it all clearly.

Words like "You are aloof and proud" sound so familiar. Jiang Ruochu often hears them.

When chaos and unspoken rules become the norm, being sober and disobeying the unspoken rules becomes a sin.

"Please? What a joke! If you have the guts, just cut off all my funds! I want to see how capable you are."

Chu Morong hung up the phone angrily. If she hadn't had a trace of rationality left, she would have almost smashed the phone in her hand.

The agent next to him said with a sad face: "If you want to refuse, you can be more tactful. If you offend him, it may not only be a problem of funds, but he will also do something behind your back when your film is released in the future."

"Brother Chang, wasn't I being tactful before? But he doesn't understand what I'm saying at all. He's already attacking me, and I'm still being tactful?"

"What about the funding? If you stop working for one day, you will lose money. The longer you stop working, the longer you will lose money. By then, it will probably be 20 million."

"If the project fails, all the money you invested will be wasted."

When Chu Morong heard this, no matter how angry she was, it was extinguished by reality. She suddenly felt a little regretful, but what she regretted was not that she did not help the other party to pimp, but that she regretted losing her temper and not being able to endure it any longer.

But what's the use of regret?

Chu Morong curled his lips: "You know my temper..."

The agent sighed deeply and said, "Don't be discouraged. There is always a way out. We can think of other ways to get the money we need."

Just when the two were at a loss, a clear and gentle voice came from above.

"Senior, you're tired of scolding me, would you like to drink something?"

Chu Morong and his agent looked up and met a pair of beautiful smiling eyes.

When they looked over, Jiang Ruochu smiled and shook the unopened bottle of lemon tea in her hand.

When the agent saw an outsider here, his first reaction was that it was bad. If the other party took a picture of Chu Morong swearing and then posted it out of context, he would be finished!

The second reaction was that I didn’t know how much it would cost to buy this material.

However, Chu Mo Rong felt relieved when she saw that it was Jiang Ruochu. She walked upstairs, took the lemon tea, and said tiredly, "Thank you."

Jiang Ruochu noticed the manager's vigilance and worry: "Senior sister just helped me, I won't expose it, don't worry."

In fact, even if Chu Morong had not helped her, she would not be so bored as to reveal the information.

The agent's thoughts were exposed and he smiled awkwardly: "Thank you for your understanding, thank you for your understanding."

After he finished speaking, he began to look at Jiang Ruochu and Ye Sha seriously. These two were both good prospects for entering the entertainment industry. This school really was full of hidden talents.

Perhaps it was because the agent's eyes were too direct that Ye Sha misunderstood what he meant, so he turned around silently, holding the only remaining box of lemon tea.

Jiang Ruochu would be generous in giving drinks, but he wouldn't, he is very stingy.

Jiang Ruochu noticed Ye Sha's little movements and thought to himself that this guy was really amazing. Was it because he had been hungry before that he was particularly obsessed with eating?

However, the agent did not think much about it. He thought Ye Sha was shy. When Ye Sha turned around, he felt that the other party's profile was simply invincible and very photogenic. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was, and the more his heart was moved!

Jiang Ruochu felt that the two of them must have had their minds wandered, but she didn't have the time to deal with them for the time being, so she asked, "Senior, what trouble did you run into?"

Chu Morong sighed. She didn’t want to make her family worry, so she always reported good news but not bad news in the circle.

As for her friends, those outside the circle didn't understand her and even thought that she made so much money that any time she complained, she was just being pretentious. She could understand that people's joys and sorrows were not the same, so she rarely talked about these things with friends outside the circle.

As for her friends in the circle, there are too many interests involved, and there are some things she absolutely cannot say.

If you hold things in for too long, problems will arise.

Right now, Chu Morong was worried that she had nowhere to vent her worries and grievances. Now that Jiang Ruchu asked her, she didn't want to hold it in any longer.

Chu Mo Rong pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly: "Do you know why I helped you just now?"

"Because when I see you, I feel like I am seeing my past self."

"I have climbed up through my own abilities, but there are always people who doubt me and throw mud at me."

"Either they suspected that I was committed to the sponsor for the role, or they suspected that I was using shady means to steal resources from my peers."

"But I have never done that. I, Chu Morong, have always been upright until today!"

"It's good to be upright, but...but I have also offended a lot of people."

Jiang Ruochu asked: "For example, the person on the phone just now?"

"He's just one of them." Chu Morong said helplessly, "In fact, I majored in directing in college, but in the directing industry, if you don't have a strong background and resources, it's almost impossible to get the opportunity to direct. At that time, my agent..."

Chu Morong pointed at the man next to him with his chin: "Look, that's him. He said that my appearance is very suitable for being an artist, so why not be an artist first, and then switch to being a director after I make it big and have money and connections."

"I thought what he said made sense, so I accepted his opinion."

"Gradually, I made some money and accumulated some resources, so I thought about transformation and realizing my original dream."

The agent interrupted and said, "It's not that easy to achieve a dream. There are so many male directors in this industry. They almost control the resources of the entire industry. Female directors are rarely seen at all."

"How can it be called a dream if it's not difficult?" Chu Morong replied to his agent, then looked at Jiang Ruochu and continued, "I turned down a lot of work in order to prepare for the filming of this drama. I just want to devote all my time to it."

"Originally, the funds and personnel were in place, and the pre-production shooting had already begun, but an investor suddenly asked me to accompany him. If I didn't, he would withdraw his investment."

"He just knew the timing and knew I was in a difficult situation, so he made unreasonable demands. I naturally refused, and then he wanted me to introduce beautiful girls to him."

"Fuck him! He's so arrogant just because he has a little money!"

Chu Morong touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "Actually, my purpose for agreeing to come to the school anniversary this time is not simple. I want to see if I can get investment from alumni."

Jiang Ruochu asked very patiently: "Senior, what type of project are you planning to shoot?"

"It's a martial arts movie. The script was written by a screenwriter I know. I've read the script and it's very well written. Unfortunately, martial arts movies are declining now, and there are too few people willing to invest. The few who are willing to invest will also make various requests. It's considered good to want to include people, but some people are pushing their luck and just want to take advantage of them!"

The agent advised: "There are too many such things in the industry. It's all consensual. I know you are unhappy, but you should think positively. The entertainment industry is a big melting pot."

Chu Morong looked unhappy. It was obvious that she disagreed with what her agent said, but she couldn't refute it.

Indeed, there are some people in the circle who are willing to contribute themselves in order to get the opportunity to move up.

Jiang Ruochu said with a smile: "How can you make something like unspoken rules sound so justified and natural?"

“If there is really a fair chance to compete, who would want to contribute?”

"In the final analysis, the resources are controlled by a small number of people. They set the gameplay and rules, so they can act recklessly and manipulate others."

"Don't take advantage of others and then say that they did it voluntarily."

Chu Morong immediately responded, "That's the truth! If I could get a fair audition opportunity, I would rely on my real ability and not bother trying to please everyone. Is it because the script is not good, or the role is not attractive enough? I have to study those bosses."

The agent looked at Jiang Ruochu, then at Chu Morong, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone understands the truth, but it's difficult!" The agent is not a fresh-faced young man who has just graduated and has long lost his passion. He is more realistic.

Fu Yanxi had previously suggested to Jiang Ruochu that she join a certain capital camp. Only in this way could she make money more safely and quickly.

At that time, Jiang Ruochu thought about it. She was unwilling to join any capital camp. Her ambition was greater, so she chose to become a member of a capital camp.

However, the idea is good, but which project to start with and what kind of partners to look for are things that need to be considered seriously.

Now is a good investment opportunity.
