Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Young and Promising Director Song!
After they had eaten, Song Yun made a call to Lu Guan in front of Xiao Wan, arranging to have dinner together that evening.
Only then did Lu Guan realize that the big boss had already arrived in Forty-nine City. He dared not relax and made a phone call to Director Ma, who was on the film set.
"President Song has arrived in Forty-nine City. We'll all have dinner together tonight."
"Has President Song decided on the candidate?" Director Ma was looking forward to it, thinking that Song Yun, an outsider, definitely wouldn't understand all the intricacies. As long as the other party chose someone from the list, he would be able to connect with the female artist. Wouldn't that make tonight fantastic?
"President Song said it's tentative."
"What? But I've contacted the artists on the list, and they've all cleared their schedules to wait."
Lu Guan laughed to himself and said indifferently, "If you have any complaints, take them up with President Song directly."
Upon hearing this, Director Ma felt deflated. He didn't dare provoke someone as formidable as Song Yun. In the entertainment industry, money is king. For someone who could fully acquire a big company like Tianyu Company, dealing with a director would be a piece of cake.
"Alright, then I'll ask them to wait a little longer."
"Make sure you don't mess up at dinner tonight, you understand?"
"Absolutely!"
Director Ma thought to himself that if he dined at the same table as President Song that evening, he must show off all his skills to flatter President Song wholeheartedly. His future at Tianyu Company and even in the entire circle would be soaring!
...
In the afternoon, Ye Qingqing went with Xiao Wan to buy a dress. When Xiao Wan saw the price tag of over a hundred thousand on the dress, she hurriedly tried to decline it.
But Ye Qingqing, as her sister-in-law and meeting her little sister-in-law for the first time, definitely couldn't be stingy. Besides, as the chairwoman of Mo Jing Group, she certainly wasn't short of money.
After buying the dress, as the two women walked the streets, Ye Qingqing also bought several sets of matching jewelry, as well as expensive cosmetics and skincare products.
Song Yun, carrying big and small bags, followed behind them. He didn't understand why the two seemingly delicate girls didn't get tired at all from walking around shopping. He, a man enhanced by the system, was already panting, while Ye Qingqing was still dragging Xiao Wan to visit two more shops before going back.
Finally, the shopping was done, and the trunk was so full of gift boxes that it could hardly fit them all, so half ended up piled on the back seat of the car.
When the women returned home, they began to do their makeup and change clothes, while Song Yun chatted with his uncle in the living room.
After more than an hour, Ye Qingqing, quite generous, led a somewhat shy Xiao Wan out.
This was Xiao Wan's first time wearing a formal dress, and she clearly felt a bit uncomfortable.
Upon seeing his daughter's stunning appearance, her father's eyes lit up as he said, "My daughter grows more beautiful each day!"
"It's getting late, let's go to our appointment."
Naturally, Song Yun couldn't just take a taxi there; he had contacted his father-in-law in the afternoon to arrange a business car from the Ye family's company branch, which was now waiting downstairs.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the designated hotel.
Director Ma was already waiting there early. He had changed into an expensive suit, slicked his hair back, and no longer looked greasy but rather had an air of a literary man about him.
As for Lu Guan, he was dressed in casual attire, looking like he was going to meet an old friend.
This was the difference in status. Director Ma might try his best to fight for a chance to stand out, while Lu Guan aimed to leave as harmless an impression on Song Yun as possible.
Soon, a Rolls-Royce pulled up at the hotel entrance.
A driver got out and opened the rear car door. Song Yun stepped out first.
Lu Guan had seen Song Yun's photo in the internal network of Mountains and Waters Corporation and immediately recognized him.
He gave Director Ma a look, who obediently took over the driver's position, his hand resting on top of the car door to prevent those following from bumping their heads.
Ye Qingqing was the second to come out. Upon seeing her, Director Ma's face turned red; he didn't know what was happening, but the presence of Chairman Song's female companion inevitably brought to mind the feeling of a first love.
He dared not look more and quickly lowered his head.
This meant that, when Xiao Wan emerged, he was still cautiously looking at the tips of his shoes, afraid to incur the displeasure of the important figures.
However, Xiao Wan recognized the man at a glance.
Why was Director Ma here?
Could it be that the secondary female role Brother Song Yun referred to was from the movie Director Ma had previously mentioned?
At this moment, her heart was in turmoil, filled with panic, doubt, and surprise, but she quickly suppressed all negative emotions.
Because she saw Tianyu Company's President Lu Guan groveling before her brother, it was apparent he was trying to curry favor.
She wanted nothing more than to play a role and not to cause trouble, so she silently followed her sister-in-law.
"Chairman Song, such youthful achievement! Under your leadership, Tianyu Company will surely become even more splendid," he complimented.
After flattering him, Lu Guan led the way, and Director Ma, who was of lower status, lagged behind, not yet in a position to introduce himself to Song Yun.
Lu Guan ushered the trio of Song Yun into the private room and then stopped Director Ma at the door, whispering, "It seems Chairman Song does not intend to use anyone from your list. I know one of the two female companions he brought; the most beautiful one is the Ye family of Magic Capital's only daughter. The other might very well be the secondary female lead!"
"Any requests the young lady has regarding the script, whether reasonable or not, you must agree to them!"
Upon hearing these words, Director Ma swallowed hard. The Ye family of Magic Capital?
It seemed that Chairman Song's identity was quite mysterious! He had heard that the Ye family's only daughter was a famously formidable businesswoman, but now she was quietly accompanying Chairman Song. Did that not suggest Chairman Song was even more...
Pondering this, Director Ma quickly nodded in agreement, "Don't just speak of revising the script; even if we have to change the entire script, I have no objections!"
Lu Guan patted Director Ma on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "The professional aspect is up to you later on."
Song Yun, Ye Qingqing, and Xiao Wan were sitting inside the private room.
This private room was the most expensive one in the five-star hotel, and Lu Guan dared not relax at all with a major boss coming for an inspection.
Just ordering food cost more than half a million, not to mention additional drinks.
He exited the room with Director Ma, displaying a serene smile and said, "Chairman Song, welcome to Forty-nine City. Allow me to introduce, this man is the director of that film, Ma Dongyang!"
"Hello Chairman Song, you can just call me Little Ma," Director Ma said with his head lowered submissively.
Although Director Ma was in his forties and Song Yun was only in his twenties, the difference in status could not be bridged by age.
It could be said that Song Yun's mere act of calling him Little Ma was already giving Ma Dongyang face.
Song Yun nodded without getting up.
Seeing this, Lu Guan took a seat with Director Ma.
He personally poured a glass of wine for Song Yun and then respectfully said, "Chairman Song, it is an honor for Tianyu to have you personally inspect our operations in Forty-nine City. As President of Tianyu, I toast to you. I will finish my drink; you are free to do as you please."
After finishing his drink, Lu Guan downed it in one gulp, while Song Yun, with an indifferent expression, drank a small half of his glass, also giving face to Lu Guan.
