Chapter 126: All buddies, why distinguish between us?

~8 min read 1,401 words

In the car, Jianguo's look at Li Xin was full of admiration; he's still the boss!

People sit at home, and girls fall from the sky.

Others spend money to go pick up girls, but the boss has girls sent to him by others, and they're top-notch beauties—truly enviable.

During this time, he also followed Boshu and saw quite a bit of the world; such top-notch ones, he hasn't seen a single one—really beautiful!

Li Xin saw Jianguo's expression in the rearview mirror and gave him a thump on the back of the head.

He laughed and scolded: "You're not familiar with that old lecher Boshe, are you? Haven't you seen a pretty girl?"

The usually quiet Jianjun spoke up: "Boss, those two brothers have something to ask you, right?"

"It doesn't count; you could only say it's paying respects in advance to the temple gate, for fear of later carrying a pig's head and not finding the way—these are smart people, they won't hug the Buddha's foot at the last minute."

"Especially this kind of gift that's beneficial without cost—they don't have to put in much, they don't even need to spend money, so why not?"

Li Xin explained to Jianjun that this is easy to guess—Xuqiang and his brother never held a position at Xinji; what they're doing now is legitimate business.

"Where to find such high-quality debtors? They're definitely picked out of Xinji Financial Company."

"Another benefit is that from now on he won't have to personally look for top-notch girls; people who ask him for help will voluntarily send them over."

Best of both worlds!

Clear Water Bay Red Trust Media station.

Li Xin got out of the car and went straight to Xiao Pangzi's office, seeing many people inside fiercely debating something, each with red faces and thick necks, unwilling to yield, arguing heatedly.

Everyone saw Li Xin enter, stood up to greet him, and the room instantly fell silent.

Xiao Pangzi yielded the main seat to him, smiling: "Boss, please sit; we're discussing the plot and casting of A Better Tomorrow—this film's investment is huge, we dare not be careless."

After Li Xin sat down, he looked at everyone and said: "The main storyline has real-life material provided, that's certainly enough; the rest should follow Director Wu's opinion."

"As for the casting, who have you chosen? Tell me so I can listen."

Wu Baige immediately responded:

"Boss, I think A Fa would be perfect for Xiao Ma's role, and Dilong playing Hao Ge is no problem—they look too alike."

"We just lack a big-name star to draw box office; this film's investment is huge, we lack confidence, we need a big name to guarantee it."

Nobody said anything else; they were all waiting for the boss's reply.

Li Xin didn't even consider it, directly saying: "Xiao Ma will be played by A Hui—no discussion. You're supposed to pick actors; aren't you choosing from your own company? Or do you have other ideas?"

Wu Baige heard this and broke into a sweat! He knew the boss's identity—this is dissatisfaction with his choice of person!

He quickly explained: "Boss, A Hui just starred in Rainy Night Butcher; audiences might not accept this role change."

"After release, it would greatly affect box office results, so I wanted to use A Fa instead."

Li Xin glanced at him—this guy is less reassuring than Xiao Pangzi; we'll just make do with him!

He pointed a finger at him and said: "This isn't something you should worry about; your job is just to make the film well."

"In the future, the company will pick actors for the remaining roles, then go outside to look; taking from inside and stripping outside isn't a good habit—do you understand?"

Wu Baige wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly replied: "I understand, boss; I won't make this mistake again."

Li Xin nodded and continued: "For this film, I want big scenes; any shots that can be filmed in Xi Gong should stay there, so the locals of Xi Gong can also earn a little money."

"Dilong is fine; Xiao Ma will be played by A Hui; as for Song Zijie, Liu Dehua is a good choice; the rest, you can pick as you like."

"Moreover, the film's explosion scenes must be grand; the Xi Gong car lot has already prepared explosion vehicles for this film—we can just go there and shoot directly."

"Afterwards I'll have the group finance handle this film's accounts; you don't need to touch props—they'll take care of the bookkeeping—understood?"

Wu Baige quickly nodded and replied: "Understood, boss; we'll follow your instructions exactly, without cutting corners."

"Hmm, good, you're still sharp! The company won't shortchange you, but put away your petty thoughts; otherwise, you should know the consequences."

"Also, I'll get Longwei and Dingdang to cameo; any other problems?" Li Xin asked.

"Nope, boss."

Li Xin waved his hand, letting them go to work, leaving only Xiao Pangzi.

He laughed and asked: "You kid also lack strength—how can you let them stick thorns in your head?"

Xiao Pangzi lowered his head embarrassedly, not daring to look at Li Xin; the boss entrusted him with great authority, yet his words lack force—this can only be blamed on himself, who let his inexperience show!

Li Xin saw Xiao Pangzi lower his head and stay silent, realizing: they think he's young and easy to bully, coming to test his depths!

He chuckled and said: "From now on, show some media company manager poise; in these two days, an external liaison deputy manager will come over—if anything else comes up, go to him for resolution."

Xiao Pangzi gave an embarrassed laugh: "Thanks, but I really can't handle some things; I can only slowly build experience—this is how everyone does it, I have no choice!"

Hmm, Hua Hua will give these old timers a new feeling; in this regard he's very professional.

After Xiao Pangzi left, he picked up the phone and dialed Hua Hua's old-school mobile number.

"A Xin, got an emergency?" Hua Hua asked.

"Hua Hua, when can you finish the handover on your end? I've already arranged work for you here, just waiting for you!"

"I'll come find you tomorrow; today I'll hang out with the brothers." Hua Hua said.

Li Xin told him: "Just come directly to the media company's station; start as an external liaison deputy manager—you're good at this."

"Once things are on track here, there's an even bigger matter waiting for you to handle—you'd better quickly get familiar with the business; that big thing, you'll definitely want to do it."

Li Xin finished speaking and hung up, not giving Hua Hua a chance to ask anything.

Drink? Hang out?

Li Xin thought to himself: "I made you anxious, and you still want to go drink and play? Go dream about it!"

Sure enough, within two hours, Hua Hua appeared in the office.

Upon meeting, he complained: "A Xin, nobody's like you! If you have something to say, just say it! Why are you still the same as before? You just know how to bully me!"

Li Xin laughed loudly, got up and went to his side, putting an arm around his shoulder and said: "Is this still that scary flower-tailed snake? How are you acting like a resentful woman?"

Not all of these bad ideas are yours? Otherwise I couldn't have this reputation? You really have the nerve to say that!

Have the nerve!

Li Xin answered quite naturally, without a hint of embarrassment! What's there to be embarrassed about between brothers? We're all buddies.

No need to be so clear-cut!

The two were joking around when the mobile phone rang; Li Xin picked it up, held it to his ear, and listened to the other side finish speaking.

He said harshly: "Thanks, throw them into the sea to feed the fish; keeping them is useless, just send them back to the embrace of Heavenly Illumination!"

After hanging up, Li Xin wondered, puzzled: "Didn't Jiang Tian Sheng tell him they'd already reached a settlement with the Mountain Gate Group?"

How come someone is still coming to look for Li Zhengren?

Then don't stand on ceremony—send them all back from the sea. Whether the person behind the scenes receives them is none of his concern; if they're tied up and can't swim back, it's only their swimming skills to blame.
