Late at night, Mo Ting was still sitting in the study room. Meanwhile, Lu Che was even faster. In just 5 hours, he managed to track down Xia Jingyi's brother's whereabouts. It turned out, he had lost his phone with his classmate and couldn't remember his family's phone number, so he didn't contact them immediately.
He was currently safe.
After hearing this news, Xia Jingyi let out a sigh of relief. She and Tang Jingxuan were still in Hai Rui's practice room. Amidst the darkness, the two looked at each other and suddenly smiled.
"President Mo is indeed amazing. He was able to see through everything with one glance," Xia Jingyi sighed.
"Of course. Did you think anyone could marry my sister?" Tang Jingxuan laughed as he held onto his guitar. "Since your brother is fine, let's wait and see what happens to Chairman Zhou."
Xia Jingyi smiled and nodded her head.
"Come, I'm still energetic. Help me with the accompaniment."
"No problem," Xia Jingyi said as she sat down on the piano...
...
The next morning, Mo Ting sat in the CEO's office at Hai Rui and looked through all the information on Chairman Zhou.
"When Chairman Zhou was young, he was a gangster and arrogant. But, he had one weakness."
"He wasn't afraid of anything, but he was afraid of someone called Father Li. It was said that Father Li single-handedly helped him get to where he is today. That's why he is extremely afraid of Father Li."
Lu Che followed by Mo Ting's side and told him everything he found out so he could save Mo Ting some time reading through the documents.
"Although Chairman Zhou is a terrible person, Father Li has a good reputation. He is an upright person and a loyal friend. It's just that he doesn't go out much these days."
Mo Ting pulled out the information and looked at the photo on the resume. He then threw it to one side, "Ask Father Li out..."
"I've already asked him out. I should be able to hear from him before noon," Lu Che replied respectfully.
He had already lost count of the number of times he had dealt with similar problems with Mo Ting.
"Also, ask Father Zhou out," Mo Ting said coldly. "Make preparations for negotiations..."
After speaking, Mo Ting threw the matter to one side and continued to deal with other matters at Hai Rui.
"Tomorrow is the third pre-screening of 'Stupid'. Invite the last group of people to watch it..."
Needless to say, Lu Che understood. The third group of people were famous reporters, entertainment reporters and influential journalists.
It was for no other reason than to ensure that the reporters would roll their eyes the next time a member of 'Demon King' mentioned that Tangning's acting wasn't as good as theirs.
Needless to say, running a movie is as difficult as you can see.
…
At noon, Lu Che received news that the other party had agreed to meet and had arranged to have dinner that night.
In order not to worry Tangning, Mo Ting did not tell her he was going to negotiate. He simply told her he would be home late.
Tangning could roughly guess what was going on, so she secretly gave Lu Che a phone call to confirm her suspicions. In the end, she decided that after everything was over, she would personally drive over to pick her husband up.
Seven o 'clock in the evening, high-class club.
Father Li and Mo Ting had already greeted each other. But, Father Li knew the reason for his visit, so he said to him by the pool, "Young man, do you want to have a competition? Let's see if you can beat this old bag of bones. "
Mo Ting was well aware of Father Li's background, so he nodded his head, "It would be impolite to refuse."
After changing into a pair of swimming trunks, Mo Ting entered the pool. His muscles made Father Li praise him profusely, "To be able to manage your body so well, it's no wonder you can manage the entertainment industry."
The two men swam with all their might towards the middle of the pool. But, after one round of swimming, Mo Ting had fallen a little behind Father Li. Father Li knew Mo Ting was only using half his strength, so he laughed, "This Xiao Zhou is too much."
Not long after, a waiter entered the pool to inform the two that Chairman Zhou had arrived. Only then did the two men enter the VIP waiting room.
"Have a seat. Xiao Zhou, you sit too," Father Li greeted. "Since everyone is here, let's get straight to the point. Xiao Zhou, why did you threaten an artist from Hai Rui?"
Chairman Zhou's expression did not look too good as he looked at Mo Ting with a complicated expression.
Mo Ting's lips curved upwards as he took the initiative, "Chairman Zhou, it seems you don't have much confidence in your own film."
"You took advantage of the fact that you've dominated the entertainment industry for so many years to block my path to riches. Of course, I'm going to cause trouble for you," Chairman Zhou replied straightforwardly.
"This is his ability. If you can't do it, then you use despicable methods. Don't you think it's too unsightly?" Father Li asked as he dried his hair.
"Since Chairman Zhou says Hai Rui is blocking your path to riches, then fine. After all, the two films will only be released one day apart. We won't interfere with the cinema's operations and will let them decide how they want to distribute the films. Are you satisfied with that?"
"Hmmph, how could I not interfere with the distribution of the films?" He wanted to make money, he couldn't possibly give in just for the sake of fairness.
"Fine, you interfere and I'll let it go. Are you satisfied with that?" Mo Ting asked as he raised an eyebrow. The king's aura from his body made even Father Li feel threatened.
"Would you be so kind?"
"I, Mo Ting, always do what I say. But, no matter what the box office results, you are not allowed to cause trouble for Hai Rui again," Mo Ting pointed his finger at Chairman Zhou. "Otherwise, Hai Rui will fight to the death with you. I'm sure Chairman Zhou is a smart man. I'm sure he wouldn't put his property business on thin ice just because his film didn't make enough money, right?"
"I've already given Father Li enough face. If another artist from Hai Rui is threatened like this, I will blame it all on Chairman Zhou."
"Feel free to try my methods."
After hearing Mo Ting's words, Father Li knew the outcome had been decided.
"Xiao Zhou, are you not satisfied with President Mo's suggestion?" Grandpa Li asked Jay Chou, "Not only did they not interfere with the cinema's screening, they also did not interfere with you influencing the cinema's screening. This gift is enough to show their sincerity. If you continue to do such a despicable thing, then I, Grandpa Li, will pretend that I never knew you."
Chairman Zhou weighed his options and finally nodded his head, "OK, remember what you said."
"Of course," Mo Ting nodded.
"I'm sorry about what happened to Xia Jingyi. I will never touch Hai Rui again. Father Li can be my witness," Chairman Zhou vowed.
Mo Ting's lips curved upwards without saying another word.
"OK, since we've come to an agreement, let's all have dinner together."
"No need, Father Li. I need to go home and keep my wife company, so I won't be joining you," Mo Ting said as he stood up. "Thank you very much for today."
"Don't mention it. President Mo's wife sure is lucky."
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone left. As Mo Ting led Lu Che out of the club, he noticed Tangning's car parked outside.
He was a little surprised as he walked over. As soon as he saw it was Tangning, his expression changed, "Why are you waiting here?"
"Of course I'm here to welcome you home," Tangning smiled. "Everything's settled, right?"
Mo Ting turned around and said to Lu Che, "Do as I say. Drive home."
"Yes, President," Lu Che nodded his head and left.
Of course, since he said he wouldn't interfere with the distribution of the films, he was going to keep his promise. So what if they had 80% distribution?
He, Mo Ting, would still win.
