Chapter 743

~6 min read 1,127 words

"Lin Yu, do you really want to run a media company?"

"As someone who has been there, I can tell you responsibly, it's quite troublesome and exhausting."

Yang Mi sighed and said softly.

"Then I'll let you relax a bit."

Lin Yu's mouth curled up, and he turned around to lock the door of Da Mi Mi's office.

After a hearty time,

the next task was to run to the Radio and Television Bureau.

Establishing a media company in China requires giving a heads-up to the Radio and Television Bureau in advance.

This is different from other enterprises; it involves the control of public opinion and the public image of artists.

However, when Lin Yu arrived at the entrance of the Radio and Television Bureau, he was directly stopped by the guard.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

"Fill in your personal information first."

The guard uncle raised an eyebrow.

Although he was just a security guard, the guards at the Radio and Television Bureau were not ordinary; the people coming here to handle business were all big shots. Just by collecting tips, he could earn over a hundred thousand a year.

"Okay! I'm looking for..."

Lin Yu's words were on the tip of his tongue, but he paused. Looking for Director Wei so blatantly would likely bring unnecessary trouble to the man. The atmosphere had been tight in recent years, and the higher-ups were very sensitive about arranging positions for direct relatives or through the back door; he couldn't be careless.

"I'm looking for Section Chief Chen to get a document approved."

Lin Yu thought for a moment. At the Weibo Night, there seemed to be a Section Chief surnamed Chen under Director Wei, so he started bluffing.

"Section Chief Chen?"

"Kid, who are you trying to fool?"

"What kind of status does Section Chief Chen have? How could he approve documents for you?"

The guard frowned and scolded him in a deep voice.

A few days ago, he had seen Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige walking out with Section Chief Chen; how could this wet-behind-the-ears young man dare to spout such nonsense here!?

Of course, this was mainly to get some grease money.

Those who could come to the Radio and Television Bureau mostly had some background and wouldn't dare to cause trouble by bluffing.

"Uncle, wait a moment."

"I'll go get you a carton of Zhonghua cigarettes."

Lin Yu saw through the guard's thoughts at a glance and smiled.

"Oh, young man, I didn't see clearly just now; you look a bit familiar!"

"Section Chief Chen should be back soon."

Seeing Lin Yu was so sensible, the guard's attitude did a 360-degree turn.

Not long after,

Lin Yu returned, carrying two cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes and a bottle of Moutai, humming a little tune.

And just then, Section Chief Chen happened to be walking back from the parking lot with his briefcase. Having been doing well under Director Wei recently, he thought about how his change in luck was all due to that night at Weibo Night, and his estimation of Lin Yu deepened.

Director Wei was only 49 years old; in the system, being able to reach this position was already outstanding.

Following this trend, it was very likely he would take another step up, and that would be reaching the heavens.

"This is?"

Seeing Lin Yu carrying cigarettes and alcohol, Section Chief Chen, being a shrewd person, understood instantly.

"Slap!"

"Who the hell are you stopping?"

Section Chief Chen's chubby body rushed forward in one stride and slapped the guard on the shoulder.

"Mr. Lin, with your status, don't get angry with this kind of small-time guard; I'll find someone to fire him right now."

"Damn it! Daring to openly demand bribes."

"This kind of person is a black sheep among the masses."

"Mr. Lin, how much did this cost? I'll reimburse you."

Section Chief Chen could reach this position because his words and actions were absolutely flawless.

He secretly acknowledged Lin Yu's status while also restoring face for him.

"Haha, no worries."

"Section Chief Chen, let's go inside and talk."

Lin Yu's heart stirred; he was worthy of being a leader at the Radio and Television Bureau. This whole routine didn't offend him while also stating his position; maybe the guard would even have to be grateful to him later!

His social sophistication was truly perfected!

Section Chief Chen enthusiastically welcomed Lin Yu into his office.

Unexpectedly, there was more to it here; there was a hidden door, and after pushing it open, there was an extremely special tea room.

Lin Yu's eyes shifted.

This must be the place for secrets.

After all, it was the Radio and Television Bureau; there were many things that couldn't be said in the open. Looking at the layout, there was even a signal jammer and electromagnetic interference device on the side, directly ensuring the safety of the tea room and preventing any recording or video information from existing.

"Mr. Lin, what brings you here this time?"

Section Chief Chen rinsed the tea set and smiled.

"I'm thinking of starting a media company, and I wanted to ask for Uncle Wei's opinion."

Lin Yu said truthfully.

There was nothing to hide about this.

"I'm a few years older than you; calling you 'little brother' shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Section Chief Chen poured a cup of tea for Lin Yu and said with a laugh.

"Uncle Chen, you're really flattering me."

Lin Yu hurriedly stood up to receive the teacup.

After some small talk,

the two entered the main topic.

"This is no problem!"

"No need to bother Director Wei; I'll help you handle the arrangements here."

"However, Lin Yu, you must be careful."

"The current environment is not good, and the entertainment industry cake is hard to divide!"

Section Chief Chen stopped at the right point,

and even meticulously found a company address for Lin Yu, using his connections to waive three months of rent for him.

Seeing things go so smoothly, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh—connections are truly useful!

If it were any other company, running this errand would take ten days or half a month without even getting to see Section Chief Chen. In the entertainment industry, you really can't play without a background.

When he returned to the studio,

everyone was arguing noisily.

"Boss! Let's call it Yuhui Media."

"What kind of crappy name is that? It sounds like a supermarket."

"Yeah! Are you trying to force our boss to take the surname Dong?"

"If you ask me, let's call it Lin Yu Hall."

"Damn! Then I might as well be called Xu Zhimo."

"Stop arguing, let's talk about something important: who the hell ate my takeout?"

"..."
