Chapter 524 Can't play without a brain!
There is a batch of cool ones.
Zhou Chao, who hasn't eaten hot pot for a long time, can be regarded as satisfying his desire for tongue and tongue today.
After leaving the hotpot restaurant, Zhou Chao didn't take Jiang Li home immediately. He was going to chat with his friend first to find out about the latest developments. Last time when Lei Mingtang was hyping for PK, Zhou Chao discovered Lei Mingtang Maybe something happened.
"Why don't you call Sangu and tell me you're back?" Jiang Li said with his arms around Zhou Chao.
"Don't worry, I'll call later, we can have a meal together then."
Jiang Li nodded and followed Zhou Chao into the car.
Lei Mingtang's studio is not very far from where Zhou Chao eats. It took about five or six minutes, and soon two cars parked steadily at the door of the studio.
Looking through the glass at the studio, which was much more depressed than before, Zhou Chao frowned, and strode in.
As soon as I walked into the studio, I saw a young girl in her 20s sitting at the desk at the front desk with her head down, playing games, and she was still muttering: "Come on, Ye Wang Geigei, I have lost several times. Got it!"
A trace of impatience flashed in Zhou Chao's eyes when he saw this, and he tapped lightly on the desk with his fingers.
The little girl who was playing the game raised her head and saw Zhou Chao standing in front of her, hastily put down the phone in her hand.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" The little girl said apologetically.
"Is Lei Mingtang in the studio?"
The little girl at the front desk blinked a few times when she heard Lei Mingtang's name, looked at the black-clothed bodyguards behind Zhou Chao, and said nervously, "May I ask who you are?"
"I'm his friend." Although Zhou Chao was a little impatient, he still said softly.
The little girl glanced at the office area. Although her eyes were very hidden, she was still watched by Zhou Chao.
"The boss is not here today, come back tomorrow!" The little girl spoke a lot louder this time than before, as if she was telling someone that someone was coming to him.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chao was quite sure that something had happened to his childhood friend. He looked at the little girl at the front desk and smiled, "I'm really a good friend of your boss. If you don't believe me, call him out."
The little girl didn't believe what Zhou Chao said at all, and she became a little impatient, "I told you that our boss is not here, if you continue to pester me, be careful and I will call the police."
Perhaps it was because of the impatient voice of the little girl at the front desk, and sparse noises from the office, and soon Lei Mingtang's loud voice rang out, "What are you going to do, I have already paid for you I have lost the money, why are you still looking for trouble for me?"
No one was seen, the voice came first, and the next second, Lei Mingtang came out of the office aggressively holding a baseball bat.
When he saw that the person standing at the front desk was Zhou Chaoshi, his fierce expression changed instantly, and the baseball bat in his hand fell to the ground.
Lei Mingtang trotted to Zhou Chao and Jiang Li with a smile on his face and shouted: "Brother Chao, sister-in-law, why are you back? When did you come back? You didn't call me."
"Boss, this is really your friend!" The girl at the front desk said suddenly.
Zhou Chao smiled, "Didn't I tell you earlier that I am a friend of your boss."
"Sorry, I thought you were."
Before the little girl at the front desk finished speaking, Lei Mingtang stopped her with a look, "Xiao Chen, you play games again at work, be careful, I will deduct your salary!"
"Okay, let's go to your office, it's not a problem to keep blocking the door of your studio!" Zhou Chao lightly patted Lei Mingtang on the shoulder, and led Jiang Li towards the office.
Lei Mingtang glared at the little girl at the front desk angrily, looked at the bodyguards who were sitting on the sofa just now, and motioned to Xiao Chen, "Pour some water for these handsome guys, and get some fruit!"
"Understood, boss." Xiao Chen curled his lips in response.
Lei Mingtang nodded, and walked quickly towards his office. As soon as he entered the office, he saw Zhou Chao sitting at the tea table making tea.
"Brother Chao, you don't even need to call when you come back, so that I can make arrangements for you and catch up with you!" Lei Mingtang said with a smile.
"I also just arrived in Fuzhou at noon, and I came here just after I had dinner with your sister-in-law." Zhou Chao poured out a cup of brewed tea and handed it to Lei Mingtang as he spoke.
Jiang Li, who was sitting on the side, took a glass and drank it self-consciously, without any intention of speaking. She also knew from the words of the little girl at the front desk that something happened to Lei Mingtang.
"Why did you suddenly return to Fuzhou? Is there something wrong?"
"It's not a big deal, but the day after tomorrow is my third grandfather's 80th birthday, I'll come back and have a look." Zhou Chao paused after speaking, and his eyes fell on Lei Mingtang's face.
Seeing Zhou Chao staring at him, Lei Mingtang said embarrassedly: "Brother Chao, what are you doing looking at me like this, it makes me feel a little embarrassed!"
"Tell me, what happened, it hasn't been long, and it feels like your studio is about to collapse!"
Hearing Zhou Chao's words, Lei Mingtang's face became quite depressed. He drank several cups with his teacup, looked at Zhou Chao with some hesitation, and opened his mouth several times without saying anything.
Zhou Chao frowned slightly, "Why, I can't say it, why don't I call your wife and ask what's going on?"
As soon as he heard that he wanted to call his wife, Lei Mingtang hurriedly said: "No, Brother Chao, you must not call Zhou Qian, she doesn't know about this matter, if she knows, she must make me kneel down No keyboard."
Zhou Chao put the teacup in his hand on the tea table, and couldn't help but increase his tone: "Tell me, what's going on!"
Lei Mingtang let out a long sigh, groped in his pocket, took out a pack of green pandas, and ordered it on his own. Seeing this, Jiang Li quietly picked up the teacup in his hand, walked to a place near the window and sat down.
Zhou Chao just looked at Lei Mingtang quietly, until he was about to run out of cigarettes, and then he heard him say: "It happened some time ago, Brother Chao, you know, I borrowed your light to let me Fired up quickly.
Not long ago, a large company specializing in self-media approached me, talked for a long time, and promised me that this studio could be placed under their company’s banner, and the company would also vigorously support the development of the studio. Their new anchor, help attract popularity! "
Speaking of which, Zhou Chao still doesn't understand that some capital has raised his own piglet as a sow, borrowing his litter to give birth to other people's cubs, and it seems that his "big sow" might not fail in the end. To the benefit.
"You were borrowed from a chicken to lay eggs, and you were sold afterwards!" Zhou Chao looked at Lei Mingtang's decadent look, and was not angry at all.
"Oh, that's right, I didn't expect them to do such a great job. At first, the company arranged for me to play PK with some newcomers in the company. It was nothing at first, but gradually I found that they arranged people in my fan group I lied to my big brothers, and said some things that were made out of nothing, and there is relevant evidence."
After Lei Mingtang finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and continued to smoke, "Although I found out that I stopped the loss in time, I was still cheated by the company. In the end, I paid a million yuan to get rid of the company. contract, but the heat is never what it used to be."
Zhou Chao leaned on the chair and frowned slightly, "Are you stupid? Think about how those big companies would give you such good conditions for no reason, and why didn't you call me about this matter?"
Zhou Chao looked at Lei Mingtang's disappointment, and originally wanted to scold him, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, and he couldn't add fuel to the fire.
Lei Mingtang smiled wryly, "I'm not afraid to trouble you, and this matter is not too big, it can be regarded as a lesson for myself!"
Seeing Lei Mingtang's disappointment, Zhou Chao became even more angry, "It's not a big deal, just look at your studio, there are two or three kittens, besides, my Zhou Chao's brother was killed. People are bullied like this, how can they not get back their face, what is the name of which company!"
Seeing Zhou Chao's slightly angry look, Lei Mingtang was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at Zhou Chao, and said with some embarrassment: "The name of the company is Yaoyang Entertainment, and the company's headquarters is said to be in Kyoto, but the specific I don't know very well."
Zhou Chao was so angry that he laughed, and looked at Lei Mingtang angrily, "You only know the name of the company, and you dare to sign a contract with the other party. Let me tell you what's good about you."
Seeing that Zhou Chao was really angry, Lei Mingtang stammered and said: "This company is still very famous in a certain music, I asked a few familiar big anchors before I chose to cooperate with this company , I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
"Okay, okay, I understand, I will let people investigate this matter, then what are you going to do in the future, continue to hang around in this business?"
Lei Mingtang thought for a while, looked at Zhou Chao and said seriously: "Brother Chao, I still want to continue."
Zhou Chao nodded when he heard the words, sat up straight, crossed his hands and propped his chin, and said: "I have a large entertainment company under my umbrella, and I will let someone arrange you to go in. I won't give you too much support. Higher is up to you.”
After experiencing this setback, Lei Mingtang did not continue to be hypocritical. He understood that if he was in this industry with his not-so-bright mind, sooner or later he would not be able to make it. Only by relying on a big tree can he develop well.
"Thank you, Brother Chao!" Lei Mingtang also swept away his previous troubles at this time, and a visible smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, don't say those polite words, you have to know that you are my brother, and you don't call me if something goes wrong. If I didn't come back suddenly this time, I wouldn't know that so many things happened to you Forget about it this time, let's see how I deal with you next time!" Zhou Chao said while looking at him pretendingly angrily.
"There is no next time, how could there be a next time, I will eat under Brother Chao from now on." Lei Mingtang said with some pride, although he didn't know that Zhou Chao was powerful now, but he definitely knew better than he did before Much more powerful.
Zhou Chao realized that Lei Mingtang's face was quite thick. He glanced at the happy Lei Mingtang, shook his head, took out his mobile phone and called Chen Chen.
The phone was connected quickly, Zhou Chao was just about to speak when Lei Mingtang signaled him to go out, Zhou Chao nodded slightly upon seeing this.
Waiting until Limingtang walked out of the office, Zhou Chao picked up the phone and said in person: "Hey, don't be busy now."
"Not busy, boss, just tell me if you have anything to do!"
Zhou Chao directly told Chen Chen everything about Lei Mingtang, and asked him to arrange for his entertainment company to handle it.
"By the way, boss, the integration of the entertainment sector you mentioned earlier has now been completed. Who do you think is suitable to be the person in charge of entertainment!"
Zhou Chao didn't answer immediately, but tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Boss, I plan to recommend Shang Xiaoqing, the former general manager of Hengdian, to be in charge, and Zhao Fang as an assistant."
"Qin Ziwei, how do you plan to arrange it? You must know that she also has great ideas for the person in charge of entertainment!"
“I have already talked with her about these issues, and she also knows that she still lacks a lot. It would be very difficult for her to be in charge of a large enterprise by herself. In the end, she returned to the headquarters and continued to serve as CFO.”
"Well, I agree, this matter will be done according to your ideas!"
"Okay boss, if it's okay, I'll deal with it first!" Early morning was also vigorous and resolute. Now that the matter was decided, he was going to implement these arrangements today.
"I have something to tell you later, maybe we will have more resources after a while, such as oil mines and the like, you arrange for someone to immediately form an energy company and pull up the framework first, so as not to be busy In a hurry."
Hearing what Zhou Chao said, he was also a little surprised in the early hours of the morning. He only went out for a few days, and he added a lot of business to the group.
"Oil? Boss, are you going to rob Lao Maozi?"
"How could it be a robbery? This was delivered to the door. You forgot the gold mine you told me before, it was exchanged with this thing!"
"Hey, Boss, anyway, this gold mine was picked for nothing!" Chen Chen said with a smug smile.
It's just that in the early morning he didn't know that Zhou Chao had signed in to the gold mine, and of course Zhou Chao would not tell him about it.
"It's true, well, I won't bother you, you can arrange these things as soon as possible!"
"Okay, boss!" After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone in the early morning.
Not long after Zhou Chao hung up the phone, Lei Mingtang pushed open the office door and walked in as if he was stepping on it.
"Brother Chao, let's have dinner together tonight!"
Zhou Chao refused without even thinking about it, "Forget about eating, I'll go to my third aunt's house later, let's talk about it after I finish my work these days."
"Okay." Lei Mingtang wasn't discouraged either, he had plenty of time so he wasn't in a hurry.
After chatting with Lei Mingtang for more than half an hour, Zhou Chao offered to leave.
Watching Zhou Chao and Jiang Li get in the car and leave, Lei Mingtang couldn't help but lament how many good deeds he had done in his previous life in exchange for such a small boy.
Just as Lei Mingtang was thinking about his future development, a sudden sentence came from beside him, "Boss, you ate honey shit, and you smiled so happily!"
Lei Mingtang's smiling face instantly froze, "Xiao Chen, it seems that you don't want to raise your salary anymore, just forget about the salary increase I announced just now!"
After finishing speaking, Lei Mingtang pretended to be serious and turned around towards the inside of the studio, leaving Xiao Chen alone at the door.
A moment later, there was a shrill cry: "No~ Boss, I was wrong!"
