Part Two: East Soil Big Sugar, Chapter 3: Trap

ersonally handle the previous flips and untieing of the ropes.After finishing the scene, Lu Yao Yao got up and her assistant hurriedly draped a thin white shirt over her to cover her bare back.Lu Yaoy...Sister Hao had nothing more to say. After all, Lu Yaoyao was the true owner of the company. As long as she wanted, she wouldn't lack money or resources. Even the boss of Shangbian Listening Whale Finance was blindly devoted and blindly threw money to support her; a few million dollars was nothing.

"There's something Hao Jie has to mention: "How are things going with Yuan Binghuan lately"

"That's great, let's keep in touch every day."

He's been a bit more energetic lately, I heard he wants to start his own studio. You could try subtly asking him about it.

Sister Hao is the head of the company. Although cultivating Lu Yaoyao is a priority, the company also needs to be profitable and generate revenue. Currently, the only one who can really carry the banner in the company is Yuan Binhao. If he were to break his contract and leave, it would be even harder for the new recruits to make a name for themselves.

"Okay." Lu Yaoyao didn't pay much attention to this matter and just sent a message to Yuan Binghuan asking what he was doing.

Yuan Binghuan replied, "I'm filming. Going back to Senzhou in the evening and have a dinner appointment."

"What kind of social engagement is it"

"Paoli's Place Productions."

Yuan Binghuan was always willing to answer any question, so Lu Yaoyao trusted him very much. However, she felt that their relationship was similar to a long-distance one. He spent most of his time outside, either filming or attending various events.

Yuan Binghuan has an open and sunny appearance. Since his debut, he has been following the idol traffic route. In recent years, he has been working hard to transform himself into a powerful actor.

This time, I came to Baili Club because Cai Zong, the head of Dongyang Film and Television, contacted me proactively. He said that his company is preparing to shoot a drama and invited me to come over and chat about it.

Donghuang Film and Television is one of the top companies in the industry. The few dramas they have produced in recent years have all been smash hits with excellent reputations. Yuan Binghuan, who was approached by them, took special leave from his current work to join their crew.

As soon as Yuan Binghuan entered the private room, he was slightly taken aback. The scale of this gathering was a bit large. Besides Cai Zong, there were producers, well-known directors, and several renowned investors in the room.

The play they plan to make is a very popular ancient costume fantasy drama currently trending online.

The director saw him and said, "This novel's male protagonist has countless fans online. In terms of appearance and temperament, you are very similar to him. If you can take on this role, it will definitely be your best work for a transformation."

Producer: “This drama is the biggest investment project for our Dongyang Film and Television this year. The leading actress needs to be a top-tier star, and also a top-tier actress with strong acting skills. All other supporting roles must also be first-line actors. Our goal is to create a phenomenal work.”

Even the investors are nodding frequently: "Our money is already in place, we just wait for you to get the team together."

Several people were discussing the show enthusiastically.

Yuan Binghuan was in a daze, as if he had been brainwashed by a pyramid scheme. But this was Baoli Club, an exclusive place ordinary people couldn't enter. And the director was a well-known figure he knew, and Cai, the head of Dongyang Film and Television, was also here. He had no right to speak his opinion, so he nodded frequently, thinking to himself that hard work pays off, and this was finally a good opportunity.

At this point, Cai Zong, who had been silent all along, finally spoke: “Are you currently signed under Whale Entertainment”

Yuan Binghuan: "Yes."

"Is this company just you as an artist Oh, right, and there's also the little artist Lu Yaoyao, right"

Cai Shuai gritted his teeth when he said that name.

Last night's charity gala hosted by Dongyang Film and Television, they were the host, and the donation amount was definitely going to be the largest. However, halfway through, a Lu Yaoyao suddenly appeared and donated several million yuan. In fact, in order to maintain the face of the host, he wanted to add an amount exceeding hers. But last night, Gu Shao, who rarely attended the gala, smiled and stopped him: "Let Miss Lu keep the first place."

"Since she's the top donor, we should give her a good spot."

Out of the blue, the company got hit hard and lost face. And now, they're moving her position from the last row to the middle of everything When I mention her name now, I can't help but feel a bit emotional about it.

"As you know, our company only uses our own artists or very well-known independent studio artists for our productions. We generally don't collaborate with artists from other companies because contracts are troublesome and if we make someone famous, it's like making a wedding dress for someone else. Besides, Tingjing Entertainment is still our competitor."

This statement was already straightforward enough, and Yuan Binghuan instantly understood the main purpose of today's meeting. Dongyang Film and Television and the director both wanted to promote him, having him star in this fantasy drama as the male lead. But the only obstacle now is that he's an artist under Listening Whale Entertainment, and they don't want to give such good resources to a competing company.

Cai Shuai finished speaking and said: “Think about it yourself.”

“Okay, I’ve thought it over and will get in touch with you.” Yuan Binghuan was indeed moved. He had been considering leaving Tingjing Entertainment recently. Although the company had abundant resources and money, everything revolved around Lu Yaoyao. Every project was tailor-made for her, and his own development was unclear. Now that such a good opportunity presented itself, he didn’t need to think twice.

After Xiao Cai finished talking with him and saw him off, he turned around and went upstairs, entering another luxurious private room.

In the private room, Gu Shao was intensely focused on playing cards with several friends. When he saw him enter, he just glanced at him without saying a word. But Xiao Cai still hurried forward, slightly bending over, and briefly reported the content of today's conversation.

Gu Ruandong listened nonchalantly while shuffling cards, glancing at Xiao Cai after he finished speaking. His expression clearly indicated that he was waiting for the final outcome of Xiao Cai's story.

Xiao Cai said: "Yuan Binhuan said to consider giving a reply, but it can be basically confirmed that he will leave Tingjing Entertainment."

Gu Ruandong played a card and said with disdain, "Can't you resist such little temptation"

"Facing the cards, Xu Zefang said to Gu Shao: 'Gu Shao is a master strategist. What seems like a temptation is actually a trap. You can't win, you can't win.'"

But Xiao Cai understood that Gu Shao wasn't talking about the cards, he was talking about Yuan Binghuan. Therefore, this Xianxia drama would never possibly collaborate with Yuan Binghuan.

Just that Xiaocai doesn't understand, how did this small star offend Gu Shao It's really hard to know how he died!

They played cards until almost dawn before they dispersed.

Chen Xinmin put his arm around Xiao Cai's shoulder and grumbled, "Lost another hundred thousand. Learn your lesson for next time, don't play with Shao Gu, you lose every time."

Gu Ruandong passed by them: "With your kind of brain, stay out of Macau and cause trouble."

As soon as he spoke, Chen Xinmin immediately retracted his words: "I went to Macau for business, I don't gamble."

After the Gu Group got back on track a few years ago, all the entertainment industries under Gu Ruandong's name, such as game halls and billiard halls, were given to Chen Xinmin to manage.

Chen Xinmin, under Gu Ruandong's tutelage these past few years, has managed these industries quite successfully, enough to live a carefree and luxurious life. However, the nature of his character always resurfaces from time to time. When he gets desperate for money, he wants to make a quick buck. Gu Ruandong has warned him many times about this.and a Western style kitchen. Further on is the dining room, inside of which lies the living room.These halls are built around a central courtyard. The side facing the courtyard is large floor-to-ceili...
