I’ll Pick You Up

“Yang Lin Jie?” Li Cheng was a little confused and asked doubtfully.

“In Shang Jing, there are only a few people who can be surnamed Lin. How many people do you think there is with that name? ”Wu Chengdong smiled and said.

After hearing these words, Li Cheng seemed to think of something. His expression became a little stiff and shouted,

“Shang Jing Lins! The eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Jie? One of Shang Jing's four famous rods, Lin Jie? ”

“Fright!” Wu Chengdong nodded.

“This ..” Li Cheng looks rather pale.

There was a Boom of pain in his heart. In his eyes, Zi Yan belonged to him. But now that he was being watched by Lin Jie, didn't that mean he didn't have a chance?

How much did he spend on this trip for Zi Yan? Now the ripe fruit will be picked by others! Li Cheng felt a pain in his heart as he spoke with a feeling of annoyance.

“So, so, Zi Yan can't return anytime soon?”

“In general, that's right,” Wu Chengdong shook his head slightly and said, “But nothing is absolute. It was possible, since he was quite stubborn and resolute, he might have come back early. But it also depended on Lin Jie and what methods he was willing to use on him. Now that Lin Jie has called me, it means something important to him. So I can only cooperate with him, and .. “

Wu Chengdong thought for a moment, then patted Li Cheng on the shoulder again and said meaningfully, “Sometimes a beautiful woman is just a toy. Just like a toy. When you are bored, you will look for new toys. But just because one person no longer wants it doesn't mean someone else can't have it. I think you know what I mean. “

“Ah .. Well, I understand, Uncle Wu, I'll be back first.” Li Cheng left while exuding a lonely attitude.

He felt like someone had stolen food from him, and he would not get it back after being tasted by someone else. He had tried hard, but he would only end up with leftovers, which made him feel very sad. However, his status could not compare to Lin Jie.

But .. although there are policies to be followed, there are also precautions.

Li Cheng left the company using the elevator. Then, as soon as he got into his car, he called Zi Yan,

“Zi Yan, this is Li Cheng. Why haven't I seen you in the last few days? I asked about you and found out you have business in Shang Jing. I heard some information. It seems you are in a difficult situation. There's someone named Lin Jie .. “

Two minutes later, Zi Yan hung up the phone.

He glanced at Zhou Fei, who was in front of him, and his brows furrowed slightly.

At this moment, how could he not know what Lin Jie was thinking?

Just now, Fu Shan called to say that he would arrive at Shang Jing tomorrow to talk to Wei Chao about cooperating and the role of Zi Yan, which would take a few more days.

More importantly, because of the media reporters at the front door, Lin Jie kindly arranged eight bodyguards for Zi Yan. They stood at the door waiting for orders at any time, which gave Zi Yan the feeling that they were not only there for her protection.

“Old Sister Yan, that Childe Lin should be infatuated with you. He arranges programs for you, as well as some movies and TV shows. Uh, it's a pity that I, Zhou Fei, already have a brother-in-law. ”By the side of Zi Yan, Zhou Fei pursed his lips and sighed.

“It's not that simple.” Zi Yan shook her head gently.

“It's not complicated. Childe Lin likes you, so she gives you resources to express her love. That's normal. ” Zhou Fei was a bit doubtful as he did not know what Zi Yan meant.

“i talk about what happened with the programs and TV shows. Director Fu came to talk about the contract. It felt like Lin Jie was guiding me. I don't like that. “Zi Yan slightly frowned. He does not like the feeling of being manipulated.

“So what should we do? Fu Shan came here directly, and this contract will definitely be negotiated, “Zhou Fei thought for a moment and said.

“I've decided. We will not discuss film and television contracts with him. The day after recording the program, we will return to Hong Kong soon. ”The expression in Zi Yan's eyes changed and became somewhat firm.

It was faint, but he also felt a slight threat from Lin Jie. With what Zhang Han had told him earlier, he decided that no matter what it took, he would return to Hong Kong after recording the program.

While they were talking, someone knocked on the door.

Zhou Fei went to open the door, only to see the well-dressed Lin Jie with a smile on his face, holding a handful of champagne roses. The light pink roses would have been absolutely adorable in normal times, but Zi Yan didn’ even look at them.

“Childe Lin.” Zhou Fei smiled and greeted him.

Even if she didn’t like him in her heart, she still had to observe common courtesy on the surface.

“Mmm.” Lin Jie nodded and thought about it. He put the roses on the tea table, then smiled and said, “You haven’t eat yet and it’s almost six o’clock. Shall we go out for dinner? I booked a spot at Love Lucy’s Restaurant. I heard they are serving Kobe beef there today. Miss Zi, why don’t we go and taste it together?”

In the upper class, people pay more attention to the quality of food, such as the world-famous Kobe beef. It was ranked 5A, which made it one of the most popular dishes of the rich. They cannot eat it every day because of its low production.

Facing Lin Jie's invitation, Zi Yan did not even think about it. He just shook his head and said,

“Sorry Childe Lin, I've been recording all afternoon.I'm a little tired, so I want to stay at the hotel and rest.I won't be able to accompany Childe Lin. “

“So like that,” said Lin Jie with ******created regret, “Well, it looks like I won't be able to have dinner with you ladies. Then, I'll bring some food later. Miss Zi and Miss Zhou, you can rest here. If there is anything you need, please let the people at the door know at any time. I'll leave you alone. “

“OK, thank you, Childe Lin.” Zhou Fei smiled and moved to send Lin Jie out of the door. He looked at her and said, “Childe Lin, be careful.”

Bang out!

When the door closed, the smile on Zhou Fei's face instantly disappeared. He turned around and sat down beside Zi Yan, stretching as he said,

“Heh, it will be difficult for us to come out with him acting like that.”

Outside the room, the smile on Lin Jie's face faded. He glanced at the door, slightly shook his head, and muttered softly,

“More interesting.”

Then he turned and left.

For him, the chase was just another part of the game, and he would definitely be a winner.

After about two hours later, someone knocked on Zi Yan's door once again.

This time the cook was dressed. She is not only a foreign chef, but she is also the head cook at Love Lucy Restaurant. He came here personally and made two steaks, two seafood pizzas, and some snacks for the two of them. He even carried a bottle of 82 Lafite, which was worth over 100,000 yuan. It was a very expensive dinner.

He had come here to prepare his own food, so Zi Yan could not resist. In the end, they just sat back and enjoyed it.

After all, the steak was Kobe beef. Although it wasn't as good as the meat dish Zhang Han cooked for them, it wasn't much worse, so it was the most delicious meal they had eaten since they came here.

On the next day, Lin Jie did not appear, but during the day someone sent a handful of flowers. This time a large number of flowers are known as blue enchantress. On top of the flowers, there was a small card with a handwritten note from Lin Jie.

May Miss Zi, who is prettier than this flower, have a happy day.

In the afternoon, Fu Shan took his two entourage for a face-to-face interview and simply asked Zhou Fei about the program. After learning that the next program would be recorded the next day, the three of them immediately left.

Zi Yan and Zhou Fei decided to stay in the hotel room and had no intention of going out.

On the other side where Zhang Han was, something interesting happened at three in the afternoon.

“You are the owner of this restaurant, right?”

Three young people stepped in, and the thin-faced man in the lead asked haughtily.

“Ya.” Zhang Han gave a gentle response.

“Ha-ha,” the skinny-faced man sneered and said, “I'm chef Aslin Restaurant. Our Aslin restaurant is a Two Star Michelin restaurant. We watch programs about your restaurant, but it's just propaganda, completely wrong and too much. So our chief cook, Lu Chao has decided to invite you to a competition the day after tomorrow, this weekend. I hope you can show some real skills so losing you won't be too ugly. “

As he spoke, he placed the invitation letter on the table, then turned around and left quietly.

However, if he had come two hours earlier and shown that attitude, he would have been criticized by the restaurant guests.

“Ha-ha.” Zhang Han picked up the invitation letter, but he wasn't even interested in seeing it. He flicked his finger and threw the invitation letter into the trash.

“Eh? PaPa, what, what are they doing here? ”Ask Mengmeng, somewhat confused.

“They, there may be something wrong with their head ..”

…

The next afternoon, Zi Yan and Zhou Fei went to the TV station again to record the program.

When they came out this time, geez, there were more than 30 people at the door that rushed towards them. They all take photos or hold a microphone while trying to get an interview.

This time, many of them were not media reporters hired to come here. They have a sharp feeling when something interesting is going on. With so many reporters coming to block Zi Yan, there must be something going on, so.

Fortunately, the bodyguards arranged by Lin Jie were extremely professional. Because of them, they can get into the car smoothly.

From the moment they arrived at the TV station until 5:30, the program was successfully recorded. Zi Yan instantly rejected the dinner invitation and returned to the hotel. Upon his return, he had Zhou Fei book a flight that night. Before he could tell Zhang Han, Fu Shan arrived.

“Zi Yan, get ready. We'll have dinner with Childe Lin and Director Wei at seven. ”Fu Shan says directly.

“Eat night?” Zi Yan shook her head and refused, “Sorry, Director Fu, but I already booked a flight at eight. We're going back to Hong Kong. ”

“What did you say?” Fu Shan's face was suddenly severe, he said in an undeniable tone, “Go return your ticket. I will give you half an hour to prepare. We leave on time at 6:30. ”

Zi Yan's face turned cold after she heard those words. He faced her directly and said, “Director Fu, you can talk about cooperation itself. As for me, I'm going back to Hong Kong tonight. ”

“Hah?”

Fu Shan frowned. It was obvious that he was a little angry because his fat cheeks were shaking. He looked at Zi Yan angrily and said in a sullen tone,

“What? Have your wings hardened? ”

“Hahaha, freedom?” Fu Shan let out a cold laugh, then stopped and said coldly, “Zi Yan, let's clarify your position and situation.I will currently arrange a job for you, but you become a picky? Are you still popular? you're wrong! Don't you know that you're worse than a third-rate actor? The company is willing to use some of its resources to help you grow, but not only are you ungrateful, you even refused? Is this something you can refuse? ”

“I think I have the right to refuse, and this is not even a resource given to me by the company. As a director, don't you know all the details? ” Zi Yan argues dipper gleaming with firm demeanor.

“Well, well, well, I didn't expect you to have such a stubborn temper.You didn't even respect me, director, did you? “Fu Shan trembled furiously and said,” Don't forget that you signed a three-year contract with our company. With your attitude, I can make you cold! Do you understand?”

“Then try!” Zi Yan rose up violently and said in a cold voice.

Hearing those words, Fu Shan was stunned. Zi Yan's tough attitude was somewhat unfathomable, but it made her even more furious. He had many ways of dealing with disobedient staff. But she did not want to fight now, nor did she want to break off from him completely. So he softened his tone and said,

“Zi Yan, I will tell you, this cooperation is very important to us, and Boss Wu ordered it personally. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here by myself. Now is not the time for you to show your anger. If Boss Wu is unhappy, no one in the Royal Entertainment Company can protect you. “

After hearing that, Zi Yan's eyes slightly flickered. He was also unaware that Fu Shan had come because of Wu Chengdong's orders. He was just not sure if it was really Boss Wu's order or if he was just trying to take advantage of the authority of others.

Zhou Fei could not take it anymore. At this moment, he stood up and said, “Don't you use Boss Wu to force us, you know, it's useless! We'll be back today! We must return, even if the emperor comes, he must also get out of our way .. “

Zhou Fei's words made Fu Shan's eyes widen gradually.

Do they want to rebel?

Fu Shan could not suppress the flames in his heart.

Just before Zhou Fei finished speaking, Zi Yan interrupted, “Feifei, you don't need to say more than that. In half an hour we'll go to an appointment! “

Upon hearing those words, Fu Shan, who was just about to lose his temper, stopped. Then he laughed and said, “It's time, it's also a chance for you. You should look far ahead. I'll be next door, call me when you're ready. “

After that, he immediately left the room.

“Elder Sister Yan ...” Zhou Fei frowned, then said, somewhat angry, “They are clearly bluffing us!”

“Because they want dinner, let's go. I'll see what they can do! ” Zi Yan replied coldly.

With that, they arrived at the dinner on time. There were about eight or nine people. Other than the two staff members who had come with Fu Shan, there were several Wei Chao people. Upon seeing Zi Yan's appearance, they all praised her, saying that she was a perfect fit for some roles.

And, of course, Lin Jie was busy looking for opportunities to communicate and chat with Zi Yan, but Zi Yan's face remained cold. He did not even give a serious answer, only replied with “uh” or “oh” with great disinterest.

Everyone could see him, and Fu Shan even winked at Zi Yan repeatedly, but he ignored her.

This caused Lin Jie's good mood to gradually disappear. He was a little impatient.

At this moment, Zi Yan opened her mouth and stood up to utter her first complete sentence since her arrival.

“Thank you to Childe Lin for her hospitality. However, I don't feel well, so I'll go first. “

After which, Zi Yan looked at Fu Shan again and said coldly,

“Oh, by the way, Director Fu, my flight has been rescheduled at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.I have some business to do when I get back, so I have to leave everything regarding cooperation with you. ”

After which, Zi Yan and Zhou Fei left directly, leaving the table of the person staring blankly.

” Well .. dia...”

“Oh, well, that's understandable,” Lin Jie laughed faintly, then shook his head and said, “But I don't think you can talk to me about cooperation if he's not here. What are you thinking?”

“Ya yes. Childe Lin is right. He's definitely not coming back.I'll talk to him tomorrow. “When Fu Shan saw Lin Jie's unhappy eyes, he almost broke out in a cold sweat. If he offended Lin Jie, he would leave with a very bad feeling. At this moment, he was ready to explode.

Lin Jie, however, was impatient and even in a bad mood,

“Zi Yan, you're just a star. How dare you reject me, Lin Jie? you really don't know who you are? It's your honor for someone like me, Lin Jie, to hate you. Well then, it seems like I don't have to be polite anymore. ”

For Lin Jie, even a descendant like Zhang Han could be destroyed by him if he was willing to use a certain method, let alone a star.

He had many ways to deal with Zi Yan. Since the gentle way had no effect, then he would try something else.

But Zi Yan's cold expression aroused Lin Jie's desire to conquer.

No more words were spoken that night. At one o'clock the next afternoon, Zi Yan and Zhou Fei were ready to leave.

But when they opened the door and walked out, one of the eight bodyguards standing on either side of the door blocked.

“What do you do?” Zhou Fei raised his eyebrows and questioned him.

“Sorry, Fu Shan's orders. You can't leave here for now, the ”man replied gently.

“Is he your father? Did you do what he said? Move aside! ”Say Zhou Fei with a cold hum.

“Without Fu Shan's order, you can't go,” the man replied again.

“Feifei! Call police! “Zi Yan frowned and said coldly.

“Yes, we should call the police only. Do you know that what you are doing now is illegal? ” Zhou Fei angrily pulled out his phone, ready to make a call.

“Ha ha,” the man said while sneering, “Call the police, please, it is useless. You are the actress Mr. Fu Shan. It is legal to talk about cooperation and set your schedule. Don't be so naive. ”

“Betul!”

Suddenly, the sounds of applause and praise were heard. They looked around, only to see the fat Fu Shan coming with a sneer on his face.

As he approached, he said with a fake smile, “Zi Yan, come on, go inside and we'll talk.”

Seeing this, Zhou Fei put down his phone and returned to the room with Zi Yan.

Fu Shan walked in and slammed the door.

“Director Fu, you have a very underhanded way of doing things,” Zhou Fei said coldly.

“Shut! you are in no position to talk to me! “Fu Shan cried coldly and glanced at them, then said,” Am I being overshadowed or are you airing too early? Huh huh? Who do you think you are? Do you really think you're special? What happened to you last night? you have been in the Entertainment Circle for so many years, do you not even understand the rules? Are you stupid I don't understand what you're thinking! What are you trying to do?”

“What are you shouting?” Zhou Fei's anger also worsened as he looked at her, ready to curse her.

At this moment, Zi Yan cut him off in a cold tone and said, “Don't waste time talking to him about principles. Director Fu, what are you planning? If you do it again, I will defend my rights and interests using legal methods. “

“Legal method? Huge! Thats okay! ”With a loud laugh, Fu Shan took out a document from his bag and threw it at the tea table. He sneered, “Take a good look at this indictment. If you leave today, the charges will come into effect. At that time, you will have to pay almost 100 million liquidation damages. With your current position, there is no way you can return the money. ”

“You're too far!” Zi Yan's face was really cold. He was furious in his heart, at the same time, he became even more disappointed in the Royal Entertainment Company!

And Zhou Fei's face turned pale with anger. Recalling his original contract, he also felt somewhat helpless.

When Fu Shan saw them becoming silent, his tone softened slightly, and he started playing the good guy, “Zi Yan, I also knew it might be a bit unfair. But there is no other way, this cooperation must continue.You want to go back to Hong Kong and I don't know what happened. If you're in a hurry, why don't you wait for two days, okay? I'll finish the contract in a day or two. If possible, I will try to give you a short vacation, is that alright? “

Looking at Fu Shan's features, Zhou Fei really wanted to say: Don't be so hypocritical! How disgusting!

But he knew that people could not fight the town hall, so he kept his mouth shut, despite feeling uncomfortable to hold back his words.

At this moment, Zi Yan's phone suddenly rang. When he took it, it was Meiqi. After thinking about it, Zi Yan picked up the phone,

“Halo.”

“Zi Yan, I heard about what happened to you there. Even though I haven't paid much attention to you lately, you're still one of my people. How can you be intimidated? If Fu Shan is rude to you, don't give him face. But this problem is still a bit difficult to overcome. Regarding the contract, read it carefully and sign it if you think it is okay. At the latest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will arrange for you to return. When you guys get back, the matter of cooperation will be fine. “

“Thank you, big sister May.” At this moment, Zi Yan's cold heart was slightly relieved.

“Ya, right. After all, we've known each other for years, and our feelings have always been there. So that's it, pay more attention to what's going on around you, ” Meiqi said before she hung up.

This sentence is said sincerely. In fact, if not for Li Cheng, Meiqi intended to develop Zi Yan well. But there will always be situations that make people powerless against it. He chose his own career, so he had to leave many other things behind.

After answering the phone, Zi Yan looked at Fu Shan and said coldly, “Bring the contract to me as soon as possible.”

“You have to wait for a few days.” Fu Shan looked at him strangely, wondering what Meiqi had told him. He thought about it, but said nothing more and left immediately.

At this moment, Zhou Fei was extremely angry and uncomfortable. He angrily pulled out his phone and made a phone call.

“Halo? Brother-in-law! Elder Sister Yan and I were oppressed! Isn't Shang Jing your former territory, brother-in-law? Hurry up and find someone to help us .. “

“Hmm?” After hearing those words, Zhang Han took Mengmeng from his arm and placed her on the sofa to let the little boy watch the cartoon alone. After doing that, she went to the restaurant window with a cold look growing in her eyes as she said, “Speak.”

“I will tell you, brother-in-law ..” Just as Zhou Fei was about to complain, Zi Yan reached out and said, “Let me tell him.”

“OK,” said Zhou Fei, “I will let Elder Sister Yan tell you yourself.”

After which, he handed Zi Yan his phone, after which,

“Zhang Han.” Zi Yan pouted her lips, in a sad tone.

“I'll pick you up!”

At that moment, Zhang Han replied with these four words, simple and neat.
