Chapter 197 What to eat? Let’s eat melons

A private dinner party that has not yet reached a formal cooperation with the capital will certainly not attract the attention of paparazzi in a big way. The brothers' itinerary this time was very low-key, and no one outside noticed that they were attending the same dinner party.

In fact, when Lu Hu first saw the cooperation invitation from Huanyin China, he was really panicked. Why did they choose him?

No, it should be said that they skipped his brothers and went straight to him. Is that really a good idea?

The feeling of being flattered and terrified was probably the same as when he was singled out to shoot a commercial during the previous competition, and when he had two contracts in front of him while others only had one.

The follow-ups of those few times were not pleasant, so he was more cautious this time. When he saw the outrageous conditions for breaking up the friendship in the end, he applauded and felt relieved. There were really no good intentions. He felt that the person who came up with such a plan had very bad intentions.

How could he abandon his brothers for the sake of profit? Even if it was just a superficial act, it wouldn't work. Aren't there enough fake things in this circle? Why can't he stick to something real?

But how could he refuse without offending such a giant? And how could he explain to Yu Yu, who was comforting him, that a big contract had come to him and he could become rich overnight just by breaking off relations with them on the surface? Lu Hu couldn't even say such words.

The same situation happened to Zhang Yuan. If Yu Yu hadn't told them in the end that it was just a false alarm and asked them to feel free and take the signing fee first, they might have really exhausted themselves to the point of not being able to eat.

Although Lu Hu didn't know why Yu Yu said that there wouldn't be any problem with the signing fee, and he didn't know how this could be a false alarm, he believed that Yu Yu would never lie to them and make up stories.

So even though he still had doubts, he happily went to the agreed private restaurant.

You know what, he only dared to put that private custom restaurant in his favorites and never thought about checking in.

That place was not only a high-end place that was notoriously difficult to book, it was said that reservations had to be made for at least half a year, and it was also a notoriously high-cost place. He had previously thought of saving up some money and bringing her here to see it on his and Xuxu's anniversary. Now that he could see it for free, he might as well come and check it out.

But Zhang Yuan was different. Of course, he believed that Yu Yu would not lie to them, but he couldn't help but think, how could such a big record company treat signing artists as a joke, and how could it spend money casually? Even welfare institutions would only provide financial assistance to poor students after layers of review and application.

He was even a little worried that maybe Yu Yu had done something for them behind their backs, which was why he made them sign the contract with confidence because he had already borne the corresponding price for them.

But Yu Yu had already done too much, he shouldn't do this for him anymore.

Before he was sure that everything was safe, Zhang Yuan couldn't feel at ease. He was as timid as a bird and couldn't control his brain which became more and more pessimistic the more he thought about it.

Su Xing, who had come with him all the way, talked to him about many topics that were completely different from the topic, trying to get the anxious Zhang Yuan to relax and stop being so nervous. Unfortunately, the response was mediocre. He didn't say much, and it was Su Xing who was talking all the time.

He was not only worried about himself and his other brothers, but also about Yu Yu. He was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Su Xing for the time being.

Su Xing sighed helplessly. Yu Yu said that this might be a misunderstanding, but he did not tell him specifically what was going on. It was no wonder that Zhang Yuan was still struggling with it until he was about to reach the private room.

Of course, Su Xing is still optimistic about all this. After all, these old guys, to put it bluntly, are "poor and penniless" and have only become popular this year and been recognized by the current audience group. What can they deceive about?

Money? Which of them has not been troubled by being on the verge of bankruptcy? Even Wang Zhengliang, who has the most successful career, has suffered huge losses from failed investments.

Fame? A year ago, Su Xing thought he was quite famous in the eyes of the two or three fans who picked him up at the airport. A year later, the number of fans who picked him up at the airport increased from single digits to double digits. However, fame ultimately depends on strength. Fame without strength will of course be taken away by external objective factors.

Talent? The last company that tried to cheat him out of his talent has become his former company, and they even filed a lawsuit. Talent is always his own, and no one can take it away.

Before, Su Xing called Yu Yu the second after seeing the agreement, while Chen Qiansheng habitually passed it to the legal advisor in his team. This was a habit he developed after the breach of contract penalty case.

Yu Yu's lawyer friend - of course now we know that he is also his agent - gave him some inspiration. If he himself cannot understand something and his agent does not fully understand it, he should leave it to the professionals around him.

The legal officer looked at it several times before expressing his doubts in disbelief - was this really made by a professional record company? Was it really not a scam from Southeast Asia? According to the loophole hidden in this agreement, even if he signed it and did nothing, he could still get the signing fee. Was this a joke?

In other words, as long as Chen Qiansheng signed, the money would be given away for free.

Of course he wouldn't sign it even if it was given to him for free.

However, Chen Xinsheng almost thought that this was an email from a liar with strong forgery and imitation skills. He ignored it and deleted the email directly. It was not until he saw the message sent by Yu Yu in the group that he was slightly stunned and dragged the email out of the trash can.

Chen Qisheng happened to run into Da Wang and Xiao Wang, who arrived at the same time as him, in the restaurant lobby. Coincidentally, they were the only two people who almost sent an email to reject Yu Yu's invitation before she sent the message in the group.

Wang Yuexin's behavior is easy to understand. He took a quick glance at the agreement, and when he saw the unfair clause at the end, he just complained "What the hell" and threw the agreement into the trash can without even checking it out with his agent. If the price of getting the opportunity to work with a major record company is to damage the harmony among his brothers, then forget it. It's better not to have such an opportunity.

As for whether it would offend Huanyin? Let's not talk about whether Huanyin China would be so petty as to get angry over a small shrimp like him. He thought that he was still a small shrimp with no popularity, and people's impression of him as an actor was even greater than that of a singer.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If Huanyin's picking on him affects his career in the film and television industry, he can just calm down and make music well, or go out for a trip to relax and play poker. It's not a big deal.

Wang Zhengliang's response was unexpected but reasonable. He had already edited a set of official responses that were perfect and impeccable. However, every word between the lines was a stern rejection. It was tactful but firm, and there was no room for negotiation. Before he could reply, he saw the words Yu Yu sent in the group.

Generally speaking, he is a very easy-going person as long as his bottom line is not crossed. However, he still has the spirit of a musician in his bones. He dares to speak his mind and he will really help his friends when they are in trouble.

In fact, compared to the illusory fame, compared to the big record companies, big productions, and big investments, he cares more about the art of music itself. Obviously, the condition given by the other party is not a reflection of respect for the singers they are working with, so he has no hesitation in rejecting Huanyin, and will not care about the other party's reaction. No matter what the other party does, it will not affect his making his own music.

Later, when Yu Yu asked them to agree to the agreement in the group and click without hesitation to get the money, Wang Yuexin was so confused that he deleted the email and was ready to reply to reject it. Why did you suddenly do this to him? While pressing +1, Wang Zhengliang also asked Yu Yu privately what was going on.

Yu Yu didn't say it directly, but just replied in the group that it was okay, just agree, let's go have a meal together then he will talk to his brothers in detail, and then he started playing the missing game that had just become popular a few days ago.

"Brother Sheng, should we wait here for others? This meal doesn't seem good. It would be so awkward if we go in and stare at the people over at Huanyin first." Wang Yuexin said, and asked Chen Qisheng to sit on the sofa nearby to have a rest.

Anyway, this private restaurant has excellent privacy, and the private room reserved by Huanyin is the best one they have. There is only one private room on the entire floor, and no one disturbed them at all when they sat in the elevator.

It didn't matter to Chen Qiesheng whether he went into the room first or waited for his brothers to arrive and go in together. Since Wang Yuexin said so, he sat down without hesitation. Before he could chat with the two Wangs for a few words, the Land Rover came up, followed by Su Xing and Zhang Yuan.

"Hey, you guys are all here, are you waiting for me?" Su Xing saw them and said jokingly, "Okay, no need to wait for me so solemnly, Yuanyuan and I are already here, let's go to the private room directly."

"Where's Yu Yu? He hasn't come yet. Shouldn't we wait for him?" Lu Hu was a little confused.

"He sent me a message saying that he had arrived a long time ago. If I had arrived, I would have gone in with you. It seems that he knew that you were planning to gather together in large numbers to look more imposing." Su Xing replied.

Since Yu Yu had already arrived, they didn't have to wait any longer. Led by the concierge, the six of them came to the private room.

Yu Yu had indeed been waiting in the private room for a long time, but the weird atmosphere between him and the other two people in the room made Zhang Yuan turn his head to look at the central air conditioning in the room, wondering if the heating was not turned on at all.

This dinner was more formal, so they were dressed a little more formally, with suits and jackets per person, but they couldn't wear shirts and ties underneath. Of course, it was fine to dress like this for a general business bureau, but now the two strangers in the room were dressed too formally, making people feel that they should be at a banquet full of social elites, not a private restaurant.

It is understandable that a middle-aged man with an oriental face would wear a four-piece suit, as bosses would wear that at business banquets outside. But the slightly familiar blonde lady, in a tight black fishtail dress, brought her cool aura to the maximum, making people definitely not mistake her for the female companion of the man in the suit. Instead, the man who seemed to be in a high position looked like an honest assistant next to her.

If Yu Yu hadn't been sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, they might have thought they had walked into the wrong room.

"Are you all here? Come on, brothers. I know that if I don't explain first, you may not feel very satisfied with this meal. So let me introduce it to you first." Yu Yu raised his hand to greet his brothers, then stood up.

The man in a suit sitting at the round table saw Yu Yu stand up and wanted to stand up with him immediately, but suddenly he remembered something and glanced at the lady in a black dress sitting at the main seat next to him. He didn't know whether to stand or not, and he hesitated for a long time before standing up straight with an inexplicable look on his face.

It's no wonder he was trembling with fear. He really didn't expect that Yu Yu, who was jokingly called a beautiful internet celebrity and a "sidekick" in a boy band by some uninformed people in the industry, with no traffic and stage works, was actually...

No, why? What kind of a rich kid's habit is this? He likes to act like a nobody? He gave up his huge fortune and status to come to China's entertainment industry to suffer?

The key point is, even his big boss doesn't know this secret, right? He is just a project manager, is it really okay for him to know it? Moreover, he just witnessed the quarrel between the noble siblings. I heard that the means behind these nobles are more terrifying than each other. Will he be "silenced" suddenly because he knows too much?

Yu Yu ignored Zhou Yuan's gloomy face and tried to smile, and introduced himself: "This lady who insisted on wearing an evening gown for dinner and dyed her blonde hair and didn't have time to fix it is my sister, Fiona. The other gentleman is the one we toast at this business dinner, the person in charge of the Huanyin Porcelain Country Project Group, Mr. Zhou Yuan."

It was over, he was doomed. Not only did the young master introduce him after Ms. Alaric, he also let him know that Ms. Alaric's hair was dyed. Zhou Yuan left tears of a dead man in his heart.
