Chapter 536

Today was Sunday,

but Gu Xiaojun still woke up early,

wanting to strike while the iron was hot and immediately launch a new project,

and also finalize long-term contracts with Zhu Suosuo and Qian Sanyi,

so,

before eight o'clock,

Gu Xiaojun was dressed in fresh attire,

kissed Qin Feng tenderly, then reluctantly stepped out of the hotel,

and then,

Gu Xiaojun received a call from the general manager of a cooperation platform,

"Hello, General Gu, this is Zhao Lei from Miaoxu Platform. Congratulations on surpassing fifteen million in first-day top-ups!"

"Thank you."

Gu Xiaojun was now completely calm,

replied coolly, "General Zhao, it's the weekend—why the sudden call if not for more than just congratulations?"

"General Gu, you're as wise as an orchid."

Zhao Zong quickly flattered him, then laughed, "General Gu, your short drama 'The God of War Returns' broke multiple platform top-up records in just twenty-four hours."

"So we've discussed among ourselves and would like to meet you in person to talk about the future direction of the drama, and also throw you a victory banquet."

"General Gu, are you free at noon?"

"This…"

Gu Xiaojun had originally planned to meet Zhu Suosuo at noon,

so he hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, General Zhao, I already arranged to meet my actress to discuss contract matters, so…"

"Hey, then just bring her along!"

Zhao Zong sounded unexpectedly delighted: "General Gu, you don't know—we all watched your short drama multiple times. It's absolutely thrilling, and the female lead is truly amazing—great acting, stunning looks!"

"General Gu, if you don't mind, bring them along to the gathering. Let everyone meet and get to know each other—it'll help expand their networks."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaojun thought for a moment and found Zhao Zong's proposal quite acceptable.

After all,

Qin Yumo and Zhu Suosuo came from short dramas, but their appearance and aura were far better suited for stardom,

and Gu Xiaojun only needed to produce a few more short dramas,

to push Qin Yumo and Zhu Suosuo into the public eye, build up their popularity, then broaden their roles toward film and television.

At that point,

Gu Xiaojun could also, under their momentum,

gradually break free from the confines of short dramas and move toward web films, TV series, even the broader film industry, fully expanding the company's scale.

However,

all of this must rest on the condition that Zhu Suosuo has already signed a long-term contract,

so securing a long-term contract with Zhu Suosuo as soon as possible remains essential.

After consideration,

Gu Xiaojun nodded and said, "Alright, General Zhao. I'll bring our two female actresses to meet your executives at noon."

"Perfect, General Gu."

Zhao Zong's voice on the other end grew noticeably excited, almost trembling: "General Gu, we've booked the Gray Whale Restaurant, West Dream Private Room. Best of all—it's at one o'clock. Don't be late."

"Understood, General Zhao. See you then."

Gu Xiaojun hung up the phone,

then called Zhu Suosuo and Qin Yumo separately, set the meeting time and location, and turned toward his office.

When Qin Feng woke again,

it was already past nine,

and the one who woke him was none other than Yu Zhouzhou's call,

on the phone,
