Zhuang Mo is intensively preparing for the launch of the platform, while Xu Jingzhi called Ren Mingqing and told him to go home for dinner: "The old man said, you left in a deserted place, and asked you to come back to see it when you have time, and you are not active. "

Ren Mingqing accepted Happiness' complaint and agreed.

Xu Jingzhi said again: "The old man also said that he asked you to call Zhuang Mo."

"Mr. Zhuang?"

"Don't you live together? After all, he needs to pick up and drop off, and add a pair of chopsticks."

Putting down the phone, Ren Mingqing explained the Xu family's invitation to Zhuang Mo: "Are you familiar with Mr. Xu?"

Zhuang Mo was quite surprised: "No." It's just that he met twice when he went to take over Ren Mingqing, and he looked familiar.

"He told you to go back to have dinner with me." Ren Mingqing was uneasy, unable to figure out why Mr. Xu was looking for Zhuang Mo.

Zhuang Mo comforted him in turn: "Are you still afraid that he will eat me? Maybe he just wants to help you investigate me."

Ren Mingqing felt reasonable.If he was just a student that Teacher An liked and grew up with his help, the Xu family would only be kind to him.He is an adult, the Xu family has no responsibility to take care of him anymore, and he can't climb high.However, he chose Mr. An's career and ended Mr. An's unfinished "The Great Chronicle", which is completely different.The Xu family father and son treated him as the successor of Mr. An, and felt that he had inherited something very important from Xu Anzhi, and they were very close to him, treating him as their own family.Perhaps Xu Jingzhi told Mr. Xu about signing him to Mr. Zhuang, and Mr. Xu wanted to help him check it out, fearing that he would suffer losses and be wronged outside because he had no experience in this field.

At noon the next day, the two got up, packed up and went to Xu's house for a banquet.Xu Jingzhi was wearing his signature T-shirt, shorts, flip flops, and waited sloppily at the door. When he saw Ren Mingqing's face, he stepped forward and hooked his shoulders: "Nephew!"

Zhuang Mo couldn't help but slapped Xu Jingzhi's hand away.

Xu Jingzhi was beaten for no reason, and rubbed the back of her hand innocently: "Why did you hit me?!"

Zhuang Mo couldn't tell why, he subconsciously didn't want Xu Jingzhi to touch Ren Mingqing.He knew that what he did was inappropriate, so he had no choice but to write it lightly: "Be polite to your wife, we still rely on him for food."

On the surface, Xu Jingzhi is a dynamite, but in fact she has no airs at all, and if she is beaten, she will be beaten, and she doesn't take it seriously.On the contrary, when Zhuang Mo mentioned work, he went to trouble Ren Mingqing like a dog: "Madam, what will you write in your next book, and when will you open it?"

Because he wants to get involved in the cultural industry, he now reads novels from time to time.It seems that Ren Mingqing's writing is really good.

It is said that there is no harm without comparison.In the past, when Ren Mingqing continued to write "The Great and Poor Chronicle", the comparison object was his brother, and Xu Jingzhi didn't have that much feeling; now he is pulled out to compare with other authors, Ren Mingqing is simply Chen Duxiu.

The three of them chatted and laughed and came to the Chinese-style courtyard, Mr. Xu was sitting on the Taishi chair and working on his Ipad.Ren Mingqing found that there were only four chairs beside the dining table, and finally he let go of his hanging heart.He is shy by nature and does not like to socialize.Zhuang Mo is used to socializing, he has never seen any scene before, he generously stepped forward to shake hands with Mr. Xu: "Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Zhuang Mo, the copy editor of Ren Mingqing, I have long admired you."

"Editor? You are too modest." Mr. Xu looked at Zhuang Mo calmly.

This is not the first time they have met, they have met several times before.Zhuang Mo knew that Ren Mingqing was very close to their family, but he didn't intend to cling to him. He always waited across the street for pick-up and drop-off. He was very polite. Elder Xu had a good impression of him.

During this visit, Zhuang Mo wore simple jeans, a thin beige sweater, and wore only a Richard Mille RM011 carbon watch. Brother son.Although he was dressed so young that he was almost young, but facing Mr. Xu, he was still neither humble nor overbearing, calm and composed, exuding a strong and calm self-confidence in his speech, and he did not have the air of being in charge.Mr. Xu felt that this kid was very talented, and he was very energetic, so he could be taken out.

Elder Xu shifted his gaze to Ren Mingqing: "After resting for a few days, why did your face look worse? Did you eat and sleep well when you got home?"

"Yes, it's just that I'm tired after finishing the novel and haven't gotten enough sleep." Ren Mingqing cheered up, he had a little stomach discomfort recently.

"If you are not in good health, you will be raised at home. If you insist on moving out, no one will drive you away." Old Xu said harshly, but his tone was quite sad, "——you still live in Jinlong Garden?"

"Um……"

"You don't care if your author can't eat or sleep well?" Old Xu turned his gun and accused Zhuang Mo.

Zhuang Mo saw that Ren Mingqing had finished drinking matsutake stewed fish maw, and was pushing his own bowl to him. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Of course we have to take care of it. The house has been renovated, and it has been ventilated before. It will be planned at the end of this month." moved in."

Ren Mingqing was taken aback, looked at Zhuang Mo, and asked quietly, "Do you want to move?"

"Yes." Zhuang Mo whispered to him softly.

"I do not know how?"

"I've arranged everything, you don't have to worry about it."

Elder Xu asked, "Where did you buy the house?"

Zhuang Mo reported a community, and even as picky as Mr. Xu, he thought it was not bad.

Ren Mingqing was in a hurry, and Mr. Xu nodded, it must not be cheap: "The rent..."

Zhuang Mo quickly stuffed the peeled shrimp into his mouth, hinting him to go back and talk.

Elder Xu was basically satisfied with Zhuang Mo's performance.He doesn't have much contact with writers and editors. He heard Xu Jingzhi say that he is like a celebrity and an agent. He felt that my child was signed to you and you had to take good care of him.

During the dinner, Zhuang Mo didn't speak much, and took care of Ren Mingqing most of the time. He looked like a competent elder brother, which was in line with Xu Lao's requirements for a manager.

Old Xu could tell that Zhuang Mo was not pretending to be courteous, his eyes could not deceive anyone.Zhuang Mo really cared about Ren Mingqing, even when talking with others, he was always paying attention to Ren Mingqing's every move from the corner of his eye.

Ren Mingqing has an introverted personality, suffered a lot in her early years, and has her own personality weaknesses.When he first came, he was very timid, especially afraid of strangers, and he didn't dare to speak at all when there were strangers at home.Although he has been with him for a long time, Mr. Xu knows that he is really good-hearted, but Mr. Xu can't understand his reserved and trembling character, and always wants to teach him with hatred: "Boys must be brave! "I'm afraid he won't be able to get along in society.Who would like a guy who goes down with three sticks and can't make a dull fart?He knows that he is looked down upon and hated by others, and he is very defensive when interacting with others.If she hadn't gotten used to Zhuang Mo's care, Ren Mingqing would definitely not have relied on him as much as she does now.

Whether two people are close or not can be seen from the details.Ren Mingqing thinks matsutake stewed fish maw is delicious, and he drank his own share, so according to his personality, he would not ask for it again, but Zhuang Mo gave up the one he drank, and Ren Mingqing took it, and it was fine. Twitching, it can be seen that they are used to it, and the two of them really get along very well.

Although Ren Mingqing is not in good spirits now, she is still lively and not as gloomy as before. From time to time, she has to secretly chat with Zhuang Mo, and she doesn't know how there are so many things to talk between young people.

Seeing them doing so well, Mr. Xu was relieved.He was particularly worried that Ren Mingqing would be unkind to others.If Zhuang Mo can bring a positive influence to Ren Mingqing, let's not talk about whether it is appropriate for the two of them to do business together, at least he will not interfere with the issue of young people making friends.

After Ren Mingqing finished his meal slowly, Mr. Xu gave Xu Jingzhi a wink and asked him to take Ren Mingqing down. For a while, only Mr. Xu and Zhuang Mo were left in the courtyard.

Mr. Xu changed his comfortable posture, his eyes turned cold: "You used to be the president of Guanwen, and your father is still the chairman of the board of directors of Guanwen." As he said, he threw the Ipad on the table in a serious manner. It was a plan written by Zhuang Mo to Xu Jingzhi.

Xu Jingzhi wanted to hire Zhuang Mo as the president of the entertainment department of Liancheng University. This was the main reason Xu Lao invited Zhuang Mo here.If Zhuang Mo is just Ren Mingqing's copy editor, then Mr. Xu is undoubtedly very satisfied with him; but if he really wants to hand over Liancheng's entertainment sector to him, such a large business, Mr. Xu is worried.Shen Congxin is not an ordinary core executive, he is Guanwen's own son!Jingyu and Guanwen are competing companies, but the bosses of both companies are surnamed Shen. Mr. Xu has to be cautious if he wants to invest money in it.

Zhuang Mo understood Mr. Xu's concerns, and calmly cleared himself up: "At that time, Young Master Xu was very depressed when he learned about Sihai Zongheng's identity. He wanted to develop "The Great Chronicle" but didn't know where to start. I'll give him more advice. It's just a little effort, nothing else."

"With just a little effort, you can create a whole industrial chain. You can figure out what company you want to buy and how much it will cost. It's too much effort for you to do so." Xu Lao doubled up the proposal, "Why did you leave Guanwen?" ?”

There was a crack in Zhuang Mo's calm expression, but he concealed it well: "The concept is different. I think that the company has developed to the current scale, and should have more sense of social responsibility in addition to chasing interests, but the board of directors is not satisfied with my business plan. Not interested. To be honest, the Skynet system was rejected by the board of directors collectively. I believe in the value of this case, so I jumped out to do it alone."

Mr. Xu snorted, got up from the teacher's chair, leaned closer and asked him: "Then when did you suddenly have a sense of social responsibility?"

Zhuang Mo couldn't hold back at all this time, looking irritable.

Elder Xu had heard of Shen Congxin's name a long time ago, and he knew exactly how he developed Guanwen.Shen Congxin is a businessman through and through, which means he is ambitious, ruthless, and mercenary.He suddenly talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality, as if enlightened by the Virgin Mary, and anyone would be suspicious.

"I'll ask you one last time, why did you leave Guanwen?" Elder Xu asked.With Shen Congxin's position in Guanwen, he couldn't be squeezed out if he couldn't pass a few proposals. Guanwen followed his surname Shen.Old Xu wanted to find out why Shen Congxin was against his father.

"...It's a family misfortune." Zhuang Mo could only say so much.

Elder Xu stared at him for a long time, his expression finally eased.That's pretty much what he found.Guanwen Group conducted a platform self-inspection at the end of last year, and all novels involving violent sexual behavior were removed from the shelves.The writer received a call in the middle of the night and was warned that male characters are not allowed to have any threatening physical contact with female characters. Once it happens, female characters must not accept it calmly and must call the police.The domineering president Wen became the hardest hit.Three days later, the writer received another call, and the platform clarified that the self-examination was a farce, and the relevant plot was pardoned.

This self-examination was quickly forgotten amidst the scolding.What others don't know is that within three days, the top management of Guanwen Group has undergone a big change.Shen Cong left without looking back, not even taking Tan Si with him, and the team could walk or disperse.Xu Wei was ordered in the face of danger, and his party feathers ascended to heaven.

Elder Xu carefully looked at Zhuang Mo's face. His face was blue, his back molars were working quietly, and his hands on the table were trembling slightly.He saw hatred on Zhuang Mo's face.

Although I still don't know the whole picture of the matter, Mr. Xu guessed it in sevens and eighties.Shen Congxin broke not only with Guanwen, but also with his entire family because of a sexual assault case.Disagreements... Although these four words sound like a poor excuse, they are so crisp and clear, drawing a clear line between Shen Congxin and the past.Shen Congxin was a lost dog.Still an ambitious, sharp-mouthed hound.

Mr. Xu felt that he could take a big gamble: "In your vision, Jingyu will become Liancheng's core IP database, but in the field of culture, no matter what, it will have to reach the point where it can compete with Guanwen. I will give you three years, Show me your grades."

Zhuang Mo raised his head, with an expression of disbelief on his face.He thought he had been sentenced to death.

Mr. Xu continued: "Even if you can't achieve the level of Guanwen, you still have to show me the climate of Jingyu. Great author, you have to build five or six, right? Liushui, you can do 1.7 in this wave Billion, we can’t be unsustainable in the future, right? Including the concept of the entire industry chain, Jingyu is the core of the content industry. What I want to see is not a company, but a linked group; of course, the most important Yes—put Ren Mingqing to the top of the list." Elder Xu assigned him a task with a serious expression, "As long as you put Ren Mingqing to the top of the list, I will hand over the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment to you with peace of mind."

Ren Mingqing is one of them, he is willing to write a book, and Xu Laoben will arrange follow-up operations for him.As for this candidate, Mr. Xu had doubts about Zhuang Mo at first, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he believed that Zhuang Mo's sincerity towards Ren Mingqing.

And Zhuang Mo's loyalty to Ren Mingqing gave him decisive points when Mr. Xu was selecting the candidate for the president of the entertainment department.The cultural industry does have broad prospects for development. If there is a trustworthy person to take care of it, it is a good investment.There are traders, and they are only responsible for giving money, which is fine.

Zhuang Mo was overjoyed.All the work he did, including making dishes for Xu's family, was for Ren Mingqing.It would be great if Mr. Xu had the same intention.

There's just one small problem with this.

Zhuang Mo said frankly: "For Mingqing, I will do my best to help him reach the top, that's for sure. But if I have to wait for him to reach the top of the list, I can be in charge of the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment. I'm afraid that Young Master Xu can't afford to wait for these three years. "

The market is changing rapidly, and there is no three years to delay.He knew that Liancheng had no shortage of talents, but he also conceited that besides himself, it would be difficult to find top talents who crossed the two majors of business and content.He was very worried that others would mess around and ask him to wipe his ass in the future.

"It's not like you haven't done things for Jingzhi in the past three years." Mr. Xu solved his problem lightly. "I will give you a position above P10 in Liancheng Entertainment, and you can do whatever you want. Of course, being a high-level executive is definitely not as enjoyable as a CEO. The name is not right, and you have to deal with more complicated interpersonal relationships. Various regulations and procedures...but this is also a kind of experience."

"..."

"you are not willing?"

"This workload is too much for me." The black-hearted capitalist Zhuang Mo got a taste of the more black-hearted big capitalists, and was so exploited that he couldn't help but whisper.

"It's a lot of work, so don't do it." Mr. Xu eagerly picked up the teacup on the side and drank some leisure tea. "I think you can't get to that position. What are you going to do to support him? The one by Jingyu A broken website and a few books?"

Mr. Xu threatened Ren Mingqing's resources, Zhuang Mo immediately signed the contract of prostitution without hesitation, and took up two jobs concurrently.

On the other side, Ren Mingqing and Xu Jingzhi were wandering in the garden, feeling uneasy.With his keenness, it is impossible not to feel the subtle difference in attitude of Mr. Xu.Elder Xu didn't seem to like Zhuang Mo very much, but he didn't hate him either.He turned around every step of the way, for fear that Mr. Xu would deliberately distract him to make things difficult for Zhuang Mo.

Xu Jingzhi poked around under the wisteria: "Don't look at it. We are a family, and he is an outsider. If we want to start a business together with him, the old man will naturally take care of it."

"Mr. Zhuang is not an outsider."

Xu Jingzhi looked him in the eye: "Hey, let me tell you, do you have something to do with him?" No matter how careless he was, he still felt that Zhuang Mo and Ren Mingqing were much better than brothers.They were so close, Xu Jingzhi felt weird about their every move at the dinner table just now, including the ambiguous eyes when they looked at each other.

"What's the matter with us?"

Xu Jingzhi gave an example: "Didn't I ask you to send me your contract last time? After my legal team studied it, I found that there was a problem with your contract."

Ren Mingqing had been trained by Zhuang Mo for so long, and when he heard the contract, he pricked up his ears vigilantly.

"It's just...he is so kind to you! Don't you feel that?" Xu Jingzhi jumped under the shade of the tree and taught him like an elder, "He treats you completely differently from us. The attitude he showed , that is, you are the most important thing in his mind, and everything else has to stand aside."

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Ren Mingqing laughed, "He treats me very well."

Xu Jingzhi said quietly: "I think he has plots against you!"

"I have no money." Ren Mingqing sat down frankly, not paying attention to this question at all.

"I didn't say he was trying to steal your money. He gave you all his wealth. How can you still ask for your money? Are you stupid?" Xu Jingzhi looked around and said mysteriously, "I think he tried to your people!"

"Me? Apart from being able to write some articles, I don't have any good ideas. But Mr. Zhuang seems to like the stories I write very much." When he said this, his expression became happier.

Xu Jingzhi detoured for so long, Ren Mingqing couldn't get it right, and was so anxious: "Nephew, I think he's picking on you!"

"what?"

Xu Jingzhi carefully observed Ren Mingqing's expression.He fully thought that Ren Mingqing would be enlightened after being instructed, and then his face turned pale, and he carefully considered his relationship with Zhuang Mo.Unexpectedly, Ren Mingqing not only did not feel enlightened, but was at a loss.After a long time, he even laughed again: "I'm a man, what are you thinking?" After that, he looked forward to Zhuang Mo heartlessly.

Four words popped up in Xu Jingzhi's head: steel, iron, straight, male.

Ren Mingqing is a real steel straight man.

It is said that straight men are homophobic, but in fact, those who are homophobic are deep closets.But in the head of a real straight man of steel, he doesn't think about whether he is gay, whether Zhuang Mo is gay, or whether any of the men around him are gay.With Ren Mingqing's erudition and talents, it's not that he doesn't know the existence of gay, he must know, or have understood.But gay is still far away from his life, he doesn't think about gay at all—gay doesn't exist in his mind.Neither in the shallow mind nor in the deep mind.

I don't know there are gays, regardless of Wei and Jin.

In the era of "basic" national policies, Ren Mingqing still insists on the simplicity and simplicity of the straight man of steel, so he laughed at Xu Jingzhi's reminder.

Xu Jingzhi looked at his heartless back, feeling ashamed.He considers himself a straight steel man, but when Ren Mingqing smiled so calmly, Xu Jingzhi felt ashamed that he was gay.

Zhuang Mo likes Ren Mingqing's books, just like he likes his brother's books, so he naturally takes special care of him; he is also a writer's agent, and he wants to make his author popular, so there is nothing to say; how?If he was stingy and wanted to take advantage of Ren Mingqing in terms of terms, their Xu family would not agree!Zhuang Mo's kindness to Ren Mingqing is well-founded, and Ren Mingqing himself doesn't think about that, why is he such a badass?

Xu Jingzhi swore secretly in his heart that he would learn from Ren Mingqing.He also hopes that he can integrate into Zhuang Mo and Ren Mingqing and share this touching brotherhood.
