Pei Zhaozhou stared at the photo of Si Huaixi, the data manager, and asked his friend with pity, “Look, what do you think of me setting up an entertainment company? The whole company will only be responsible for Si Huaixi.”
The friend who wanted to tell him about how pitiful this good seedling was, all the while thinking of prying Si Huaixi into his Star entertainment company to be an artiste, had unexpectedly made Pei Zhaozhou, a technology company president who had no interest in the entertainment industry, want to start an entertainment company?
What’s going on?
Zhou Wenjia froze for a moment and said: “President Pei! Why did you come here to grab business with me? This is the person I fell in love with first!”
Pei Zhaozhou frowned slightly: “What does it have to do with you?” He took a fancy to him first.
Zhou Wenjia: “You have never opened an entertainment film and television company, do you know where to find experienced agents, assistants, and crew resources?”
Pei Zhaozhou: “Then I will pay three times the salary to recruit your company’s staff.”
Zhou Wenjia was so angry that he had to stop and stare: “I’m telling you, Pei Zhaozhou! The people in my company are invincible and won’t be moved by such a small amount of money!”
Assistant Jin’s voice suddenly came from the opposite side.
Assistant Jin said: “Mr. Pei, the talents in the film and television industry that you ordered to recruit just now have been approached, and basically all of them have agreed to change jobs. But this subordinate doesn’t understand. I want to ask isn’t the boss of Star Entertainment a good friend of Mr. Pei’s? Why are you recruiting the most talents from Star Entertainment? Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Zhou will be angry?”
Pei Zhaozhou did not feel guilty: “Because I am a good friend, I know that Mr. Zhou’s talents are the best in the industry. I just want the best talent, and I can afford it no matter how high the salary is.”
Zhou Wenjia’s face turned dark when he heard it, and he raised his middle finger and shouted to the other end of the communication: “Your uncle!”
Anger was anger, but Zhou Wenjia also knew that his friend was mostly joking, so he turned his head and asked suspiciously: “I didn’t see you being interested in any celebrity before, why do you suddenly want to start an entertainment company for a small celebrity, if I don’t know you, I would have thought you wanted to keep him.”
Pei Zhaozhou: “…” It was right all of a sudden. He really wanted to take care of Si Huaixi, but it wasn’t that kind of support. He wanted to keep Si Huaixi within his protection range so that he wouldn’t be bullied by outsiders.
Zhou Wenjia’s gossip radar sounded again, his sense of smell was as keen as a dog team, and he asked again: “Pei Zhaozhou, why have I never seen you care so much about someone in so many years, did you know this little star before?”
Pei Zhaozhou was silent for a moment.
Zhou Wenjia: “It shouldn’t be, where did you get to know the little star? Could it be that you met him at my company’s annual meeting that night?”
Watching Zhou Wenjia uncover the truth step by step, it was almost impossible for him not to figure out who had sex with him that night. The truth was about to be found, so Pei Zhaozhou immediately interrupted: “It’s nothing, you think too much, I’m going to hang up.”
Zhou Wenjia immediately said impatiently: “Hey! Don’t hang up first, for you to open a company, you have to ask that little celebrity to come to your place, otherwise it’s useless for you to come!”
Pei Zhaozhou frowned and hung up the communication, he didn’t believe that Si Huaixi would reject him, but he still felt a faint uneasiness which made him call Si Huaixi.
Hearing the beeping sound on the other side, Pei Zhaozhou felt a little nervous for no reason.
Si Huaixi’s voice sounded from the opposite side.
“Hey, Brother Pei.” Si Huaixi said again with a smile in his eyes, “This is the first time you’ve called me.”
Pei Zhaozhou listened to the clear and magnetic voice, his ears were slightly red, and he hummed stiffly: “I need you for something.”
Si Huaixi smiled lightly: “Brother Pei, you can call me anytime.”
The provocative ending sound was like a small hook, tickling people’s hearts.
Pei Zhaozhou inexplicably felt that he was teased by this young man. He felt a little awkward and a little happy, but when he thought of his reason for calling, he said with a serious face: “I saw your live news, your company is not a good one, there is no need to stay there, I can find you a more suitable platform, and I will pay the liquidated damages for you.”
Si Huaixi was a little startled, but he was also touched by the strong sense of protection in Pei Zhaozhou’s tone, whether it was the last days or this era, this was the first time someone had said such words to him.
One must know that the news probably hasn’t been aired for long, but Brother Pei had already thought so much about him, how embarrassing it was for him.
Si Huaixi lowered his head and smiled, his eyes sparkling: “Brother Pei, we haven’t known each other for a few days, why are you so nice to me?”
Pei Zhaozhou thought about it and said with serious words: “I just can’t see a citizen of the empire being persecuted, and they were responsible for the drug use. Although the drug has been excreted from the body and it is difficult to detect by medical means, I can put pressure on the relevant government agencies to investigate this company thoroughly, and there will be clues anyway.”
How should I say, Brother Pei’s answer was a bit unexpected, but also surprisingly reasonable, he was such a responsible person, and Si Huaixi thought that a Brother Pei like this was very good.
But Si Huaixi still refused.
“I’m sorry Brother Pei, I can’t leave this company for the time being.”
“Why? If you are worried about contract disputes, I can ask the best lawyer to help you. You don’t have to be afraid of threats from the company.” Pei Zhaozhou spoke confidently and powerfully, which did not let people doubt his ability.
“It’s not because of this, I will leave there naturally when certain things are settled.” Si Huaixi’s eyes were calm.
Pei Zhaozhou hesitated to speak, and was very puzzled, but Si Huaixi’s attitude was very firm, so he could only sigh lightly and said, “Are you sure you want to do this? Is there anything that can’t be settled after leaving?”
A deep thought flashed across Si Huaixi’s eyes, and he remembered the scene of the original owner of the body being killed. If he could not get rid of the cause and effect and avenge the original owner, he would not be able to stay in this peaceful age with peace of mind.
“Well, I’m sorry Brother Pei, I failed your heart.”
“Well, it’s just that you must come to me if you need it. We are friends…” Pei Zhaozhou was a little cautious when he said the word ‘friend’, but he didn’t have a better word to describe the relationship between the two of them.
They accidentally slept together once, do you want to call him a gun buddy[1]?
But Pei Zhaozhou doesn’t want their relationship to fall into this kind of vocabulary, and they couldn’t be regarded as lovers. It might be a little awkward to meet again, so they could only be regarded as friends who had a subtle relationship.
“Thank you, Brother Pei.” Si Huaixi accepted his kindness heartily, but there were some matters that he had to solve by himself.
After the communication was over.
Pei Zhaozhou called Assistant Jin, looked at him with threatening amber eyes and asked, “How is the investigation of Jinhui Entertainment’s behind-the-scenes relationship going?”
Assistant Jin: “I started investigating this company as soon as President Pei requested. I thought it was a low-end entertainment company with a chaotic business structure, but after in-depth investigation, I found something was wrong.”
Pei Zhaozhou fixed his eyes and accepted the investigation materials submitted by Assistant Jin.
