Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Minmin?

What Minmin?

Wu Youde frowned slightly, his mind racing. This Minmin should have a good relationship with Xia Meng, and Xia Meng is an actress, so...

"You mean Youmin?"

Wu Youde was just guessing. Since Xia Meng was an actress, her friends were likely to be actors as well, since they were in the same industry. Then he thought of You Min, who was signed to the company.

It was just a subconscious question.

Unexpectedly, to Xia Meng's ears, this became a disguised admission.

Xia Meng's eyes flashed, "Mr. Wu, it seems that you know about this matter. Please be kind. Minmin has a reckless temper and sometimes speaks without thinking, but she is actually not a bad person and she really has no bad intentions..."

"..."

Wu Youde was a little confused, but he couldn't say that he was just guessing, so he said calmly: "Tell me clearly what's going on!"

As he said this, he raised his hand and looked at his watch.

Xia Meng noticed his action and her heart tightened immediately. She quickly said, "Mr. Wu, please give me a little more time. This is what happened..."

"..."

"........."

five minutes later,

Wu Youde finally heard the whole story and understood what was going on. He felt like he was shot even when he was lying down.

Things are actually not complicated.

You Min, Xia Meng and Lydia Lo are all actresses signed by "Dragon TV". Before Lydia Lo and Wu Youde became a couple, they had equal opportunities or resources, which can be said to be fair competition.

Everyone has a chance to act in any drama, and they can decide whether to act or not, and which role to play, based on their audition performance and their personal understanding and cognition of the role...

But everything changed after Letty slept with Wu Youde.

No matter which drama she is filming, Lydia Lo is the first one to choose all the roles. She will play whatever role she likes and wants to play!

After she has chosen, Xia Meng, You Min, Zhou Lili and others can take their turn.

And as an actor, who doesn’t want to be the leading role?

Therefore, the heroine of many dramas on Oriental TV is Lydia Lo, and others have no chance at all and can only play supporting roles.

If this is because I don’t have the ability to play the leading role, that’s fine, but this is not the case. I don’t even have a chance to compete!

For a long time,

It’s inevitable that everyone has opinions in their hearts, and You Min is one of them. So once at the casting site for a new drama, when she saw that there was no female lead yet, she complained and made some weird innuendos...

She didn't say it in public, but was complaining to Xia Meng in the dressing room.

But the walls have ears, and other people heard it.

Since then,

Forget about playing the leading female role, You Min couldn't even play a supporting role, not even a little maid.

Can only sit on the bench!

For an actor, having no plays to perform is the worst, saddest and most fatal thing!

There was no filming for a long time.

Over time, your acting skills will become rusty, your acting range will become narrower, and you will have no source of income. In the end, you can only retire sadly...

But in You Min's case, she didn't even have the qualifications to exit in disgrace.

Because she signed a long-term contract with "Dongfang TV", for thirty years.

Within thirty years,

I can only film dramas for 'Dragon TV'!

If you breach the contract, you will need to pay a sky-high penalty!

Therefore, in the past few years, You Min has almost become a marginal person, with no films to shoot and can only get by on a basic salary every month.

The basic salary offered by Oriental Television to its actors is not low. Take You Min for example, her basic salary is 500 yuan a month.

Five hundred dollars a month was enough for her to live comfortably in Kowloon.

You can get paid even if you don’t work!

It stands to reason that such a life is pretty good. How many people want to live such a life but cannot? But You Min doesn't think so, and neither does Xia Meng.

They are all ambitious actresses who want to make it in this industry and become big stars!

Enjoy the spotlight, flowers and applause!

Five hundred dollars a month...

This is not what they want!

……

Xia Meng and You Min have a good relationship. Seeing her good sister in such a miserable situation, she wanted to help her.

But with her identity, she couldn't contact 'Mr. Wu' at all, or she didn't dare to contact him actively, because Director Tong had given the order...

All actresses in the company are not allowed to harass Mr. Wu privately.

If discovered, the contract will be terminated at the very least, and the person will be put on ice at the worst.

Xia Meng also heard that this order was issued by President Chen at the request of Director Tong.

Who is President Chen?

President of the Oriental Group’s board of directors and the third wife of the Wu family—Chen Xueru.

What is the Oriental Group Board of Directors?

This is an organization that governs and manages all the "Oriental System" companies. The president is the second in command of the organization and the actual manager.

This order was issued not long after Letty and Mr. Wu established a relationship!

This made many eager actresses at the time cry out in regret, beat their chests and stamp their feet, and bluntly say that they missed a great opportunity to 'fly up to the tree and become a phoenix'!

……

And a few days ago,

Xia Meng suddenly received a notice asking her to participate in "The Twins" produced by LeTV Pictures and play the leading female role.

This huge surprise took her by surprise.

After she met President Le and asked him politely, she found out that it was actually recommended by 'Mr. Wu'...

Recommended by 'Mr. Wu'???

Xia Meng was very confused. She couldn't understand why this happened.

But later, when President Le asked her politely whether she was married or had a boyfriend...

She understood a little bit.

After returning,

She discussed this matter with You Min for a long time, and finally You Min said, "Could it be that Mr. Wu has taken a fancy to you?"

Before Xia Meng could say anything, she hugged Xia Meng and cried, "Meng Meng, you have to save me. I am relying on you this time..."

"Mengmeng, when you fly to the tree, don't forget me, your little sparrow!"

"As long as you are rich and noble, don't forget each other!"

"..."

Xia Meng was so upset that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After hesitating for several days,

With You Min constantly nagging in her ear, she finally bravely walked towards Director Tong's office and expressed her desire to meet "Mr. Wu".

Surprisingly smooth.

Director Tong didn't scold her for violating the rules, but instead said in a friendly manner, "Just ask..."

……

It turned out to be the case.

Wu Youde looked at Xia Meng, who was nervous and tense. At this moment, the elegance and intelligence of the other person were gone, and she was just an ordinary person.

This woman...

Tsk!

This means that he feels that he has a crush on her and wants to use this opportunity to get close to her, and then pleads with his good sister, hoping that his good sister can get out of the predicament.

This guy Le Wenyuan still misunderstood what I meant!

And there is Tong Fu!

This fellow was born into a Qing Dynasty red-belt family, and his ancestral skill was to figure out the intentions of his superiors.

This was true for Lotte in the past, and it is also true for Xia Meng now.

Maybe in Tong Fu's eyes, Xia Meng should be the next Lydia Lotte.

After all, Xia Meng's appearance, figure, and temperament are no worse than Lydia's, and may even be better.

This meets the requirements of becoming Mr. Wu's woman.

……

"Ha ha……"

Wu Youde smiled calmly. He was not angry at being misunderstood. He looked at the nervous Xia Meng and said with a faint smile: "Miss Xia, what if I don't agree?

Talking about others behind their backs is a very immoral thing, isn't it? "

Xia Meng's expression froze, she bit her lip, and said seriously: "Mr. Wu, shouldn't fairness be the most basic principle of a company?

If everyone relies on nepotism to get to the top, how can they produce a good work?

I think a good work requires the hard work of all the actors to become a good work!"

Eh?

Xia Meng is accusing me of nepotism and unfair treatment of employees...

Wu Youde became a little interested. In recent years, few people dared to talk to him like this, only the naughty kids at home dared to do so.

He looked at Xia Meng and asked with interest: "Are you blaming me?"

"Ah, Mr. Wu..."

Xia Meng looked a little flustered, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not..."

"No, you are, you are blaming me." Wu Youde waved his hand and interrupted her.

Xia Meng bit her lip and said nothing.

Wu Youde then asked, "If you are the leading actress, will the resulting film be a good one?"

"Mr. Wu, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

"Then you are asked to be the heroine, wouldn't you like it?"

"..."

Xia Meng stopped talking.

Wu Youde looked at her quietly. After being stared at by him for a long time, Xia Meng nodded slowly and said softly, "Yes."

"Ha, isn't this the end?"

Wu Youde smiled and said calmly: "Look, you have selfish motives too, don't you?"

"Ah I……"

"You don't need to say anything."

Wu Youde looked at Xia Meng, "You want You Min to not sit on the bench and have a movie to shoot in the future, right?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Wu, Minmin is just outspoken. She doesn't actually have any bad intentions. I've talked to her about it later and she knows she was wrong..." Xia Meng nodded repeatedly and said hurriedly.

Wu Youde did not comment, and said calmly: "Misfortune comes from the mouth. This is a basic truth that every adult should understand."

After a pause,

He added: "Well, I know what happened..."

"How about this, tomorrow night at 7 o'clock, meet me at room 9 on the 18th floor of the Victoria Hotel. You can call me when you get there. Here is the number."

Talking

Wu Youde took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote down a string of numbers, and put it on the table in front of Xia Meng.

"Oh, by the way, you can think about it and not go."

Wu Youde showed his white teeth and smiled, "It's okay."

"Goodbye, Miss Xia."

finished,

He stood up and walked away, soon leaving the cafe.

Xia Meng sat there, staring at the paper in front of her, blankly, her mind was blank, she didn't know what she was thinking...

……

Wu Youde left the coffee shop.

After getting in the car, he told me to go to "Oriental Building" and then he lowered his head to play with the small black box in his hand.

This black box is only the size of a baby's palm and is very thin and light, probably less than two centimeters thick. There is a long and narrow screen on the front with several round buttons on it.

As for the back,

There is a white pattern that looks like a flying pigeon and the Chinese character "Dong". This is the logo of "Eastern Electronic Communications".

Meaning: In ancient times, people used carrier pigeons to deliver messages, and now we have Oriental Electronics.

As for this black box, it is a pager.

One party calls the paging station, tells the staff the paging number to which the message is to be sent, and then hangs up.

Soon after, the other party will receive a message from the paging station, which will also indicate who sent it to you.

For example: When you come back, buy a bag of rice.

For example: I'm waiting for you in Room 512 of Xingya Hotel. I've brought leopard print stockings. Come over as soon as you see me.

For example: If it’s urgent, please call me as soon as possible after receiving it.

In the first two cases,

The person who receives the message does not need to make a phone call. For the last type, he needs to find a nearby telephone booth to return the call.

therefore,

This thing is suitable for many purposes and can be applied to many different scenarios.

It is more convenient and faster than the telegram, and you can carry it with you.

In the original history,

As soon as this thing appeared, it became popular all over the country and became a must-have item for business travelers!

The pager in Wu Youde's hand is the second-generation product of the "Transsion" series developed by "Oriental Electronic Communications". It supports seven functions including clock, alarm, address book, message, memo, weather forecast, and news.

The first five are basic functions, and the last two are value-added services. You can activate any of the services for five yuan per month.

The price of the 'Transsion' series of pagers is not particularly expensive, with one unit priced at 499 yuan.

Once listed,

It immediately created a huge stir in the market, attracting countless businessmen, officials, scholars and other wealthy people to buy it.

nowadays,

The main research directions of 'Eastern Electronic Communications' are wireless paging, wired telephone and wireless telephone.

The research on wired telephones is aimed at further reducing the cost of installing wired telephones, so that more households can install wired telephones and increase the penetration rate of wired telephones!

……

Thinking about the development of "Eastern Electronic Communications" in recent years,

The car quickly arrived at the destination, stopped, and opened the door. Wu Youde stepped out of the car, looked up, and saw an 18-story skyscraper.

In the sunshine,

The glass curtain walls of the skyscrapers sparkled with dazzling light.

Is 18 floors a skyscraper?

Calculate!

It really counts!

This was in 1966...

On the top of the skyscraper, four big characters were hung - 'Eastern Bloc'.

"Mr. Wu!"

"Hello, Mr. Wu!"

"Mr. Wu..."

Seeing Wu Youde, the uniformed security guards and greeters at the entrance of the building all bowed and greeted him and opened the door...

Wu Youde nodded slightly with a smile on his face and walked into the hall without stopping.

There are eight elevators in the lobby on the first floor, four on each side.

As the chairman of the Oriental Group, Wu Youde had his own elevator and reached the top floor in no time...

"How did you come?"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Chen Xueru, who was reviewing documents, looked up and asked with a smile.

"Haha...I missed you, so I came to see you."

"Stop it!"

Chen Xueru curled her lips and rolled her eyes at Wu Youde again, "I just came out this morning, and you miss me now?

Besides, you have so many babies, how can you still think of an old woman like me?"

"Ha ha!"

Wu Youde laughed, walked over and slapped Chen Xueru on the butt.

"Where can I find such a beautiful old woman? Give me a hundred more!"
