Chapter 744

~5 min read 995 words

Yanjing.

Haidian District, Zhongguancun.

Sina Headquarters.

Night fell,

and the office on the top floor was still brightly lit.

Cao Zong Guowei was smoking one cigarette after another.

"This is really screwed up."

"I don't know if that bastard Zhang Tufang has confessed at the station yet."

Cao Guowei's brows were twisted into a knot.

His face was full of anxiety.

He had originally thought he could let Zhang Tufang do the dirty work and then gain a favor from Lin Yu.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yu's fighting skills were enough to take on a hundred, and it backfired. If Zhang Tufang started talking nonsense, he would become the mastermind behind the scenes.

Truly unlucky!

"Cao Zong,"

"Lin Yu is downstairs."

After hearing his subordinate's report,

Cao Guowei burned the back of his hand with his cigarette butt.

"Hurry, invite Mr. Lin up."

"Wait, I'll go down and invite him personally."

"..."

Meanwhile,

in the lobby on the first floor.

Lin Yu was holding his phone, muttering.

"Brother Yu, since the script is fine, I have a few big influencers on hand."

"We can use them to attract a wave of popularity first."

On the other end of the phone, after Da Peng's first script was approved, he began to actively recommend actors.

In terms of shooting short videos, Da Peng was definitely gifted and very good at grasping audience preferences.

Finding some familiar faces would make the start of the short drama much easier. Considering the need to save production costs, influencers were the most suitable candidates.

"Don't rush! I'll handle the actors."

Lin Yu looked at the magnificent lobby of Sina Headquarters and smiled lightly.

"We're about to start shooting."

"Brother Yu, are you sure the people you found are okay?"

"Although our script focuses on content, if we find some fresh faces, I'm afraid it won't be satisfactory."

Da Peng's heart shrank, and he said worriedly.

Although traffic influencers have average acting skills, at least they face the camera every day and won't get stage fright!

This first phase is crucial; he couldn't just appoint people based on favoritism!

"Brother Yu, it's winter break; where are you going to find people?"

"Beijing Film Academy, Beijing Dance Academy? Or are we collaborating with Jiaxing Media?"

"I plan to start shooting tomorrow."

"We can still harvest a wave of the market at the end of the year; we can't drag this out."

Da Peng said anxiously.

He had to live up to this 150,000 monthly salary!

"The 'talent' delivery boy is here."

"Brother Da Peng, remember to report to the company tomorrow."

Lin Yu saw Cao Guowei, chuckled, and hung up the phone.

Two days ago in the interrogation room, the police had reminded Lin Yu that Zhang Yaosi's account had recently received an extra 500,000, which should be related to the group fight at the wild lake!

After a series of meticulous analyses,

Lin Yu pinned the suspicion on Cao Guowei.

Only Cao Guowei knew about investigating Zhang Yaosi. If he got beaten up, Cao Guowei, being cunning, would definitely help out and take the credit for the favor.

This old guy's abacus was working quite well!

If it weren't for Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong as witnesses, Zhang Yaosi and Cao Guowei might have really gotten away with it.

Lin Yu had already made up his mind; this visit was to collect a debt.

"Mr. Lin,"

"Your arrival is an honor; I failed to welcome you from afar!"

"Come, let's talk upstairs."

Cao Guowei couldn't be sure of the purpose of Lin Yu's visit, but being polite was never wrong; you don't hit a smiling face!

"Mr. Lin, I heard about your business at the Summer Palace. You should have told me earlier! I could have solved it for you; no need to do it yourself."

Cao Guowei smiled after entering the elevator.

"Not at all, Cao Zong helped a lot this time."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed.

He even emphasized the last four words.

"Mr. Lin, you're too polite."

Cao Guowei's heart shrank.

He was even less sure now.

Did this "help" mean his effort in finding out Zhang Tufang's identity, or the 500,000 matter?

This kid Lin Yu, young as he is, is no less capable of playing riddles than those old guys at the top!

Cao Guowei's office,

was over 200 square meters, with embroidered red carpets and a dazzling array of antique collections; the artistic atmosphere and prestige were maxed out, showing off his immense wealth!

"Cao Zong,"

"I came this time to talk about cooperation."

Lin Yu crossed his legs and sat down on the sofa for guests on his own.

For this kind of businessman who only sees profit, there is no need and no reason to be polite.

If you have strength, they will naturally lower their posture and treat you as an honored guest!

"Cooperation!"

"Great!"

Hearing this, the stone in Cao Guowei's heart finally fell.

He smiled and took a bottle of champagne and two tall glasses from the wine cabinet.

Lin Yu had that person backing him; no matter what project they cooperated on, it would be a guaranteed profit!

"Cao Zong, I heard that Weibo Night has a 20th-anniversary commemorative special and celebrity interviews this year."

"I suggest we don't do it."

"Take the time saved and bring them all to my side to guest star in short films!"

As soon as Lin Yu said this,

Cao Guowei was stunned, and then a thick ball of anger rose in his heart.

This 20th-anniversary commemorative interview.

From negotiating with celebrities to signing contracts, it took nearly two months to adjust the schedule, and he invested a small target in interview fees.

And you say stop just like that?

"Mr. Lin, you must be joking with me."

"How can we just cancel it like that?"

Cao Guowei suppressed the resentment in his heart, wiped the tall glass, and said with a smile.
