Chapter 496: Men’s Cooperation

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Xiao Yan was relieved to hear his words. He didn’t want to get involved in this matter. It was just that the people whom Wang Bo tried to frame included his sister… so he couldn’t turn a blind eye to this matter…

Xiao Yan fell into a short silence and then nodded. “Okay, as long as your revenge doesn’t affect my company.”

Seeing Xiao Yan take sides with him, Ning Yan smiled and put his arm around Ning Yan’s shoulder. “Great. Although Bo Xue starred in this movie, what Wang Bo has done has nothing to do with her, so it won’t affect her at all… Besides, everyone knew that she starred in this movie because she wanted to explore the market abroad…

Tang Xi was confused at his words. Bo Xue wanted to get an acting award with this movie, but now the movie was going to be destroyed by him. How could he have the cheek to guarantee Yan that his revenge wouldn’t affect others?

Xiao Yan also looked at Ning Yan with a strange look. “Why are you so sure it won’t affect her?”

Ning Yan raised his eyebrows and explained, “I think Bo Xue is a very good actress. If Wang Bo’s movie is banned, many netizens will feel sorry for her. I think they may even initiate a topic #I Owe Bo Xue A Movie ticket# on the Microblog. Then if another famous director invites her to act in his movie, she will only gain more popularity!”

Xiao Yan immediately got what he meant, so he looked straight at Ning Yan, asking, “Which director? What movie?”

When Ning Yan saw Xiao Yan’s reaction, he secretly smiled. Then he tugged on He Wanzhou’s arm and coughed. “What are you waiting for? Now Bo Xue’s boss is here. It’s just like Bo Xue herself being here”

He Wanzhou laughed and the three men sat down in a corner and began to drink and talk.

Looking at their ‘evil’ smiles, Tang Xi shook her head helplessly. She didn’t expect that men cooperating was so simple. They just drank, chatted and then nailed down their cooperation…

Qiao Liang looked at her and turned up the corners of his mouth. Then he beckoned her to sit down beside him. “What’s up?”

Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang. “Do you also negotiate with your business partners like this?”

Qiao Liang gave her a confused look, and Tang Xi raised her chin at the three of them. “Just like them. They are drinking and discussing how to solve a man they all hated. Is this the way you men talk about cooperation?”

When she was still Tang Xi, she hated talking about business at the dinner table, but it seemed like they all preferred this way of negotiating…

Qiao Liang glanced at them and raised his eyebrows. “I don’t have to do this. My subordinates will do this job for me.”

The Qiao’s International Group was managed by his ‘father’ in the past and after he took over the company, Xiao Jing helped him deal with these matters. As for Long Xiao… he certainly wouldn’t negotiate with his business partners at the dinner table.

If there were any problems that couldn’t be solved via negotiation, he would just resort to violence. Except in the beginning years, Long Xiao usually achieved landslide victories.

When Tang Xi heard his words, the corner of her eyes twitched. This man was showing off his abilities to her again! Didn’t he know that the more he behaved like this, the more she felt inferior to him and was more desperate to catch up with him?

Refusing to think about the distance between Qiao Liang and her, Tang Xi stood up. “I’ll go ask Ning Yan when we can solve that man.”

When Tang Xi walked up to them, the three of them were still chatting attentively. Xiao Yan held a glass of wine. “So you not only want Bo Xue to star in that movie, but also want Shengda Entertainment to invest on it?”

He Wanzhou laughed. “Haha, President Xiao, it will benefit the both of us. It’s the first cooperation of our companies. I believe we will make a great movie together! The first cooperation of the top two companies in the entertainment industry will surely attract a lot of attention!”

Xiao Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at He Wanzhou, motioning him to go on. He Wanzhou took a look at Tang Xi and smiled. “And your sister also stars in my other movie. She will promote for this movie.”

“What movie are you talking about?” Tang Xi asked curiously, “Who is the director? And the playwright?”

“Ren Liang will be the playwright and Li Feng will be the director.” Ning Yan said with a smile, “It’s an art movie, called ‘A Land of Wild Flowers’. It’s about the educated urban youth working in the countryside in the 1980s. Two young people fall in love with each other in a village. I’ve read the script. I think this movie has a chance to win an award at the Cannes Film Festival. With a bit of luck, it might even win the ‘Best Movie’ award.”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “That’s awesome.”

“Yes, but there is a risk with this movie.” Ning Yan nodded.

Tang Xi looked at him and smiled. “Literary movies usually perform poorly at the box office, but with a strong cast, the investment in this movie must be huge, so perhaps you will sustain losses, right?”

Ning Yan turned up the corners of his mouth. “But what if the investors are your brother and He Wanzhou?”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “Tong Lu is an actor of Qingcheng Entertainment, and Bo Xue is an actress of Shengda Entertainment… The two companies could be the biggest winners.”

“Okay.” Xiao Yan nodded and looked at He Wanzhou. “But there is one condition.”

He Wanzhou looked at Xiao Yan. “What is it?”

“The producer. I want co-production.”

Ning Yan smiled, took a look at his watch and stood up. “No problem. Now I’m going to teach that man a good lesson.”

Tang Xi immediately stood up when she heard Ning Yan’s words. “I’m going with you!”
