Chapter 674: Calling Xu Daming

Gao Yimeng had seen rich people's homes before, and they were indeed splendid and luxurious……

But compared to this courtyard, she finally understood what understated luxury means.

The Yang Family truly is the premier household in Gangdao.

Even in the Mainland, it is extremely luxurious.

Yang Qing and Chen Ziqiang paid no attention to the woman with a glint of gold in her eyes.

After leading the person to the main room, Yang Qing went to the living room to wait.

After a moment, Chen Ziqiang and Gao Yimeng finished their Household Chores.

Yang Qing then took them to Emerald Cloud Hall to welcome them and cleanse their travel fatigue.

This Emerald Cloud Hall was indeed the elegant, artistically infused canteen that Yang Qing had originally proposed to build.

Gao Yimeng had never been to a place like this; compared to it, what five-star hotel, what nonsense……

Look at their setting: amidst a flowerbed, fish swim nearby, a patch of shade perfectly covers their seats; it's said this place only opens at specific times, because the timing, sunlight, and shade must all be just right……

Look at their drinks: Autumn Dew White, Jade Spring Intoxication……

Just hearing the name feels wonderful, accompanied by music like flowing water, elevating both body and spirit.

The food is exquisitely refined, adorned with carvings, too beautiful to eat……

Chen Ziqiang was also astonished by Emerald Cloud Hall's high standards.

"In this place, I dare not speak loudly while eating."

Yang Qing laughed heartily.

"It's fine, go ahead and speak; this is called a scenic banquet, and this view is our seasoning……"

"What we eat is our mood; we're not restricted from speaking."

"The scenery here is the essence of ancient garden art……"

"If you're interested in calligraphy and painting, there's also a study and painting gallery here for people to indulge in literary and artistic pursuits after meals……"

"This place is not just for dining; it's a cultural hub where many people come daily to exchange and learn."

"Accommodation is also provided, though the courtyard's price is very high; there are also supporting guest buildings, comparable to ordinary hotels……"

Because Yang Qing proposed the cultural revival request, Yang Tian also put considerable effort into this, even recruiting some masters, so the artistic standard here is very high.

To be honest, before coming, Chen Ziqiang looked down a bit on the Mainland, thinking himself backward.

After experiencing this, he only then realized how much wealth is buried in this land; even a casual scrape yields riches no one can match.

Gao Yimeng also set aside her arrogant attitude; it was truly overwhelming……

Look at their food and lodging, this taste—even all the country bumpkins of Gangdao combined can't compare.

She had already begun to imagine arranging her own home in the same way.

Just thinking about it makes her excited.

After the meal, Yang Qing let them go rest.

The courtyard is very quiet; one can even hear the sounds of nature.

That nap, the two slept very comfortably, a natural difference from high-rise buildings……

It also differs greatly from a villa.

Push open the window and you're in the courtyard; the courtyard is the scenery; a glance left or right sees everything clearly.

This feeling is special; anyway, it's just very comfortable……

After breakfast, Yang Qing had Qin Huairu take Gao Yimeng out for a stroll.

Meanwhile, he brought Chen Ziqiang to start discussing matters.

"Ziqiang ah, have you thought about what to prepare to do?"

Chen Ziqiang had already thought it over; he still wants to stick to his old trade.

"I want to start an entertainment company; I don't know if it'll work."

Yang Qing shook his head.

"If you want to run the company yourself, I feel it would be difficult."

Yang Qing pointed to his own head and said.

"Your mind has already formed a very stubborn mindset."

"The Mainland and Gangdao are different from anywhere else in the world."

"Following our past methods, it's likely to fail here."

"Put simply, it's a case of not adapting to the local soil and water."

"Moreover, there are many taboos regarding the cultural industry here."

"You also can't easily grasp it."

"I feel it's like our co-produced films; you'd better find a local director to collaborate with."

"Or jointly start a company, or invest in the other's films; first spend two years getting to know locals, deepening relationships, then look for a chance to set up a company……"

"You have Gangdao's resources; if you also cultivate Mainland connections and resources, the future looks promising."

Chen Ziqiang pondered and felt the suggestion was very sound.

However, he now urgently needs a local to guide him through Mainland circles.

"Director Yang, I think you're right; could you introduce someone familiar with this circle? I'm stumbling around in the dark, running about recklessly—wouldn't that just be wasting effort?"

Yang Qing thought for a moment.

"I actually have a suitable person right here."

"He used to be my neighbor, then went to Beijing Film Academy."

"He's doing pretty well."

In that case, I'll call him and arrange to meet him.

You two talk; if it's suitable, you discuss cooperation yourselves. If not, have him introduce someone suitable.

Speaking of which, after he returned to Jingcheng, he hasn't seen Xu Damao many times.

It's not that the two have grown distant; most of the cooperation between Eternal Splendor and the Mainland involves Xu Damao.

This is all because of Yang Qing.

They meet infrequently because Yang Qing has declined various social engagements, wanting a quiet life, and everyone is also busy.

Maybe Chen Ziqiang and Xu Damao still know each other.

Yang Qing placed the call.

Xu Damao happened to be in his office, and upon receiving Yang Qing's call he felt a surge of delight.

Qing Ge'er, you big shot still know to call me? Speak, what's your instruction?

He's doing quite well at the Beijing Film Academy.

Yang Qing didn't waste any words with him.

Mao Ge, ah, the boss of Eternal Splendor is currently with me; do you want to come over?

Upon hearing that, Xu Damao was mentally shaken.

Go, I must go—I've long admired him in spirit.

Ah, right, is that the boss?

Didn't they change personnel?

It's Chen Ziqiang, Manager Chen.

That's great; I'll head over right away.

The call Yang Qing placed—he must go; Xu Damao isn't a fool.

Although Chen Ziqiang has left his position, he still knows how influential this person is.

Knowing someone like this brings only benefits, no drawbacks.

Soon Xu Damao drove over.

Upon entering, he also brought some things.

The lotus-root white and osmanthus wine were blatantly obvious.

Qing Ge'er, I'm here.

Yang Qing took the items and then introduced him.

This is Manager Chen Ziqiang.

This is the External Relations Department head of the Beijing Film Academy, Xu Damao.

Most of the cooperation between Eternal Splendor and the Beijing Film Academy is accomplished through him.

Xu Damao looked at Chen Ziqiang, then his excited hands clasped……….

Long admired, long admired—upon seeing Manager Chen, indeed he has an extraordinary bearing.

I've long wanted to visit; today I've gotten to see you thanks to Qing Ge'er's luck, being able to meet someone as busy as you.

That mouth of his hasn't changed at all.

Chen Ziqiang also sensed Xu Damao's smoothness and flattery.

He, who has always been in Eternal Splendor's harmonious atmosphere, still feels a bit unaccustomed.

No need for formalities, no need for formalities—I didn't expect that the one we've been cooperating with all along is Department Head Xu; I feel ashamed.
