Late at night, Mo Ting was still sitting in the study room. Lu Che acted faster than expected, in just 5 hours he managed to find the exact location of Xia Jingyi's brother. Apparently, he and his friend had lost their cell phone and could not remember their family's phone number, so they lost contact for a while.
He is safe at the moment.
After receiving this news, Xia Jingyi let out a sigh of relief. She and Tang Jingxuan were still inside the training room. In the dimly lit room, they looked at each other and smiled.
"President Mo is truly extraordinary. He could instantly see what was really happening," Xia Jingyi praised.
"of course. Do you think the average person can marry my sister?" Tang Jingxuan smiled as he held onto his guitar. "Since your brother is fine, let's sit down and see how this Chairman Zhou will end up."
Xia Jingyi smiled and nodded her head.
"Come, since I'm still quite awake, help me play the accompanist music."
"OK," Xia Jingyi agreed as she walked over to the piano and sat down ...
...
The next morning, inside the CEO's office, Mo Ting managed to see the information left on his desk about Chairman Zhou.
"Chairman Zhou was a troublemaker when he was young and always acted arrogantly. But, he has one weakness."
"He was not afraid of anyone or anything, except one man named Father Li. Sources say that this is the man who helped her get to where she is now, so she is very afraid of him."
Lu Che stood beside Mo Ting and talked to him through all the information he found so he could save time.
"Although Chairman Zhou was not a good person, Father Li had an excellent reputation and was known as an honest and righteous person. The only problem is, he hasn't left the house very often lately."
Mo Ting opened the information about Father Li and looked at the attached photo. He then put the information aside and instructed Lu Che, "Help me arrange this meeting with Father Li ..."
"I've made contact, we'll get a response by noon," Lu Che replied respectfully.
She had already forgotten how many times she and Mo Ting had dealt with the same matter.
"Also invite Chairman Zhou ..." Mo Ting instructed coldly, ". and be prepared for negotiations ..."
After their brief chat, Mo Ting put the information aside and went back to handling Hai Rui's other matters.
"Tomorrow is the third pre-screening for 'Stupid'. I've invited the last category of people to watch it ..."
This time, Mo Ting did not need to say anything. Lu Che already knew, the remaining categories of people were famous news reporters, entertainment reporters, and influential people in the news.
Simple motive. Next time anyone from 'Devil Shooter' dared to say that Tangning's acting wasn't as good as their cast members', the reporters would know better.
Needless to say, managing a movie is difficult.
...
Morning by noon. Lu Che received a notice that Father Li had agreed to meet for dinner that night as well.
To prevent Tangning from worrying, Mo Ting did not tell her that he was going out for negotiations, he simply told her that he was going home late.
Tangning immediately knew something was wrong, so she secretly called Lu Che to confirm her suspicions. In the end, she decided to personally drop off and pick up her husband after the meeting.
7 O'clock at night. In an upscale country club.
Father Li and Mo Ting had already met and greeted each other. Father Li was well aware of the reason for the meeting, so he suggested beside the pond, "Young man, care about the competition? Let's see if you can beat this old bag of bones."
Mo Ting knew the background of this man, so he nodded his head, "Happy."
After changing into swimming shorts, Mo Ting dived into the pool. Father Li could not help but praise his muscular body, "When one has the ability to regulate their body so well, it's no surprise they can manage the entire entertainment industry."
A moment later, a servant approached the two men and told them that Chairman Zhou had arrived. So, they got out of the pool and headed for the VIP room.
"Let's all sit down. You too Xiao Zhou, sit down," Father Li said in an accommodating manner. "Since everyone is here today, let's be honest with each other. Xiao Zhou, why are you threatening one of Hai Rui's artists?"
Chairman Zhou's expression didn't look good as he looked at Mo Ting so complexly.
Mo Ting's lips curved into a smile as he started the conversation, "Chairman Zhou doesn't seem to be too confident with his film."
"You are utilizing your control over the entertainment industry to block my path to fortune. So of course I have to make trouble for you in return," Chairman Zhou replied straightforwardly.
"That's because he's capable. You can't use dirty methods in return. Don't you feel ashamed?" Father Li asked as he dried his hair.
"Because Chairman Zhou said I was blocking his way to luck, how about this, since the two films were released one day apart, don't get involved with theater operations. Let them decide how they want to distribute the two films. Are you happy with that?"
"Hmmph, how could I not be involved in their distribution process?" he needed to make money, how could he hold back because of what was called justice.
"All right then. You can get as involved as you like, I won't interfere. You happy?" Mo Ting raised an eyebrow as he asked. The king-like presence on his body even made Father Li feel a little intimidated.
"Are you going to be that good?"
"I, Mo Ting, always do as I say. But, regardless of the results in the Box Office, you will promise to leave Hai Rui alone," Mo Ting pointed at the man opposite him and continued with his warning, "If not, then, Hai Rui will take you with them. I'm sure Chairman Zhou is smart enough not to put his real estate business in a risky situation just because his movies aren't making enough money."
"I've given Father Li enough face. If Hai Rui experiences another similar situation where our artist is threatened, I will hold you fully accountable."
"You're welcome to try my methods."
After hearing Mo Ting's words, Father Li already knew who won the negotiation.
"Xiao Zhou, are you still unhappy with President Mo's offer?" Father Li asked. "He not only vowed not to interfere with the distribution of the film, he also vowed not to stop you from intervening. This is a very big gift of sincerity. If you keep doing something cheating, then I just need to pretend that I never know. You."
Pressed from all directions, Chairman Zhou finally nodded his head, "Well, you said it."
"Of course," Mo Ting also nodded.
"I'm sorry for what happened with Xia Jingyi and I promise not to touch Hai Rui again. Father Li will be our witness" Chairman Zhou swore.
Mo Ting's lips curved upwards without another word.
"Okay, since we've come to an agreement, let's eat."
"No need, Father Li. I still have to go home and accompany my wife," Mo Ting stood up as he spoke to Father Li, "One million thanks for today."
"Either. President Mo's wife is a very lucky woman."
After their conversation, the men split up. Mo Ting walked out of the club with Lu Che and saw Tangning's car parked outside.
He's a little surprised. As he walked over and found Tangning sitting inside, his expression suddenly changed, "Why are you waiting here?"
"Of course to drive you home triumphantly," Tangning smiled, "You've come to an agreement, right?"
Mo Ting turned around and said to Lu Che, "Do as I said before. Also, give me back the car."
"Yes, President Mo." After nodding his head, Lu Che turned around and left.
Of course, since he said he would not interfere with the distribution process, he would keep his promise. Even if Chairman Zhou wanted to obtain an 80% distribution rate, it would not matter.
Mo Ting was still going to win.
