Chapter 642



642 Chapter 642 a mountain

In Luo Yin’s heart, she could afford to drink this cup of tea that he had personally made, but she still couldn’t take away the share dividends from his hands.

Tao cen picked up the teacup and took a light sip. The biting-cold fragrance of the tea was still in her lips, but the tip of her tongue had already tasted its bitterness. This situation was slightly similar to her current situation.

She didn’t like to drink tea. Compared to the endless aftertaste of tea, she preferred coffee, which was rich and mellow.

“I remember that the last time I had tea like this with you was more than seven years ago.”

She put down the teacup and Luo Yin smiled.

Both of them knew the reason why Tao cen had come over this time.

Galaxy of the century Jiang SE’s development was unstoppable. Tao cen was clearly lagging behind her.

With the release of ” God’s salvation “, even if Jiang se made her debut many years later than Tao cen, it was highly possible that she would catch up to the box office with her new movie.

Once Jiang SE’s total box office earnings did not lose out to Tao cen’s, Tao cen’s advantage in box office sales and the age of his debut would be shortened by Jiang se.

In fact, due to Jiang SE’s close relationship with chessaray and the fact that the film she had starred in had been nominated for the best film Award, she had more potential than Tao cen in the future.

In such a situation, regardless of whether everyone admitted it or not, it was an undeniable fact that Jiang SE’s future prospects were better than Tao cen’s.

“Yes, I am.”

Luo Yin nodded. Tao cen was talking about more than seven years ago, when they were discussing the renewal of Tao cen’s contract.

when you first signed into the company, I was particularly fond of you. Luo Yin also put down his teacup. Even though he had already guessed Tao cen’s intentions, he did not have any intention of falling out with him.

“You were still young at that time, but your eyes were already filled with radiance.” He was so excited that he leaned forward, bent his right index and middle fingers, and knocked on the table twice.

I have a feeling that the future of China’s film industry is waiting for you to conquer it.

Speaking of the scene back then, Luo Yin still felt a little emotional. before that, I had never seen such a pair of eyes. They were full of confidence and ambition.

The most important thing was that she had succeeded in the end.

Opening a management company, he signed handsome men and beautiful women. In fact, Luo Yin had seen too many good looking people. The stars signed by century Galaxy were all good-looking, but not everyone was worth Luo Yin’s attention.

Luo Yin was well aware of the value of a person. At that time, Tao cen was still young and immature, but he could already see her extraordinary future.

Luo Yin was in this line of work because of his sharp eyes. That was why he had picked Tao cen from a bunch of newbies.

the artistes in the company are required to sign at least a 10 to 15-year contract. However, I’m different to you. I’ll allow you to sign an eight-year contract on your first contract.

Hearing him mention the past, Tao cen also nodded, ”

yes, it was precisely because you valued it back then that when the contract was over and you talked to me about renewing it, I decided to extend the contract for another ten years and never thought of leaving the company. Tao cen’s facial muscles twitched slightly when he mentioned the ten-year extension.

“But Mr. Luo, I don’t think you’re being fair,”

With a smile, she said something that many people thought was ‘treasonous’. In the face of the old man of this century, who could cause a shock to the company with a slight stomp of his foot, she did not beat around the bush.

after Chaoqun’s contract is over, when it’s time to renew it, you have to find her personally and discuss the renewal conditions. Reward her with 0.1% of century Galaxy’s shares and win her over to continue staying in century Galaxy.

Luo Yin’s Special Assistant’s expression changed slightly. In such a position, to be able to follow Luo Yin and deal with all kinds of small and big matters for him, in terms of temperament and will, he was more skilled than the average employee in not showing his emotions.

However, when he heard Tao cen’s words, he could not help but change his expression.

However, Luo Yin was smiling, as if his eyebrows did not even move. He just listened quietly to Tao cen.

when it’s time for me to sign the contract, you said, ” she paused, raised her head, and grinned, revealing a faint smile, ”

“It’s too early.”

When she said these three words, she had mixed feelings, as if many sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy feelings were all mixed in.

“It’s too early!”

She thought about this sentence for a long time. Was she not worthy of century Galaxy’s shares? In what way was she inferior to Xia Chaoqun? Was it because of the difference in background and status?

In the early years of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang’s uprising, they once said,”do the Kings and nobles have balls?”

Tao cen agreed with this.

Unlike Xia Chaoqun, she did not come from a prestigious family in Hong Kong. She did not have the resources that Xia Chaoqun had in the early days. However, the hard work she put in later on was not any less than Xia Chaoqun’s. In fact, she put in even more effort than Xia Chaoqun.

Her fan club was from all walks of life, including the noble Mrs. Zhou from Jingtai real estate. She had been waiting for Luo Yin to initiate a redrawing of the contract, but it never happened again.

In recent years, the ten-year agreement between her and century Galaxy had been shortened day by day, but the company still did not make much move.

Those who were loyal to her were gradually excluded from the list of core members. Rohault’s attitude towards her had changed from being close to her at the beginning to being respectful and distant.

it’s fine if it’s Chaoqun, but why is it Jiang se? ”

It wasn’t that she didn’t understand those problems, but she just couldn’t swallow her anger. Some things could only be achieved if they were fought for. If she didn’t fight for them, she might always be neglected.

“You should have waited a little longer.”

After Tao cen finished speaking, Luo Yin did not get angry. He only shook his head.

“I’m still going to wait. How can I wait? when my contract is over and you want me to renew it, the profit-sharing agreement between me and the company will change from the current 8:2 to 10:0?”

She said this out of anger, but she couldn’t help but laugh as she said it.

Luo Yin also laughed. Tao cen said,

“Or are you also willing to use the shares to make me stay?”

why do you think I won’t use the shares to keep you after the ten-year contract ends? ”

Luo Yin retorted. Tao cen was stunned,

“Will you?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Luo Yin let out a long breath, the corner of his mouth moved, as if he was a little tired from sitting. He leaned back on the sofa,

the company has never been stingy with people who have made great contributions to the past, the present, and the future or who are capable. Chaoqun is like that, Jiang se is like that, and you are the same!

The inside information revealed by Luo Yin’s words made the special Assistant’s eyes reveal a look of horror. The shares in the Chairman’s hands, even if it was just a tiny amount, was not a small amount.

However, Tao cen was not as ecstatic as he had imagined. On the contrary, he was so calm that he was almost cold.

After hearing these words, she was silent for a long time before finally smiling bitterly.

if Chaoqun’s shares represented the present and Jiang SE’s shares represented the future, then am I the past you’re talking about? ”

Luo Yin’s eyes flickered, and then he raised his head to look at her. Her back was straight, and her eyes met Luo Yin’s, not retreating in the slightest.

“Mr. Luo, do I represent the past?”

She was insistent on getting this answer. Luo Yin’s face showed signs of teeth gritting. After a long while, he said,

no matter what I think of the future, at the very least, my past achievements can not be denied.

He didn’t say it explicitly, but the meaning in his words was obvious.

Tao cen could not help but laugh.

“Mr. Luo, I’m very grateful to you,”

She sighed a few times.

“I know that you’re willing to say such words and offer me your shares to keep me. This is already a great affirmation of me. I’m also very grateful that you didn’t hide it from me, and didn’t deceive me with your good words.” Her eyes seemed to be brighter than before.

“But I can’t do that.”

Tao cen’s choice was beyond the special Assistant’s expectations. He wanted to say something but stopped. He looked at Tao cen as if she had gone crazy.

“Oh?”

Luo Yin’s answer to Tao cen was either beyond his expectations or within his expectations.

if the company wants me to stay because they are optimistic about my future development, and I believe that I will still be the only representative of the company in the future, then you don’t need to give me these shares. I will ask for them myself.

She shook her head. some things can’t be obtained by relying on charity.

She had yearned for these shares and these promises for many years. Luo Yin had finally relented and promised to give them to her. However, the strange thing was that Tao cen found it difficult to be happy when she heard these words. She even felt a sense of loss.

She also had her own pride. She would rather be unique than lower her head and beg.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Luo. I would like to talk to you about the termination of the contract.”

She brought up the issue she had wanted to discuss with Luo Yin on this trip.

One mountain could not hold two tigers. She would not stay in Galaxy century any longer. It was destined that she and Jiang se would not be able to live under the same roof peacefully.

“I’ll entrust the matter of the breach of contract to a lawyer later.”

However, due to their many years of friendship and courtesy, she greeted Luo Yin in private first.

She thought that Luo Yin would fly into a rage, and that he would become angry and berate her for not knowing what was good for her. But in the end, Luo Yin only sighed and asked her,

“Are you sure?”

“I’ve thought it through.”

Tao cen did not rely on luck to get to where she was today. She had thought through every decision she made carefully.

“What do you plan to do next?”

Luo Yin asked, ” in this line of work, you’ve been in the company for many years and have been in contact with some of the company’s upper-level business. You know the most resources and opportunities in the company. The best scripts and endorsements are given to the company’s artists first.”

After leaving century Galaxy, with Tao cen’s ability to fight alone, the road ahead might be more difficult than it was now.

“I know,” She smiled. After leaving century Galaxy, she would still follow her old path. Although she would not have the company’s protection, Tao cen might not admit defeat in a one-on-one fight.

I feel that my new journey is still waiting for me in the future. Her ambition was written in her eyes. I’ll wait for you to try to win me over with stocks.

Luo Yin couldn’t help but laugh at her words. Although it involved some benefits, Luo Yin had no intention of making things difficult for her. After knowing that she was leaving the company and decided to go solo, he didn’t say anything to suppress or threaten her.

To Tao cen, this conversation was very relaxing. Ever since Jiang se won the best film Award for ‘centuries-old filmmaker’ in “the salvation of God,” the heavy gloominess in her heart had dissipated after she met Luo Yin today.

Next was the reshuffling of the company’s power. Zhou Sheng and the others, who followed Tao cen, naturally had to leave the company and fly alone with her.

She also needed to take her manager and the team she was used to. Luo Yin didn’t mean to make things difficult for her, but she still had to pay the penalty fee.

With her current status, that number could be a sky-high price. However, Tao cen was relieved that Luo Yin did not make things difficult for her. At least, there were no more obstacles on her path of going solo.

When she came out of Luo Yin’s mansion, her manager, Song Yi, was waiting for her in the car. When he saw her, Song Yi let out a sigh of relief and asked eagerly,

“Sister Tao, how did your talk with Mr. Luo go?”

She was in high spirits, as if she was thinking of herself many years ago, when she had just entered the entertainment industry.

“It’s almost time.” She ran her fingers through her hair. She recalled that Jiang se and ” God’s salvation ” had been the talk of the town for a long time. Under such circumstances, many celebrities did not dare to take the lead. Some of the movies that were released at the same time could not even compare to Jiang SE’s.

However, Tao cen smiled confidently.

Jiang se has been in the headlines of the Chinese media for a long time. It’s my turn now!

No one could stand up to Jiang SE’s sharp edge, but Tao cen could.

Even though many people, including Luo Yin, thought that she was already weak, under such circumstances, she was still the one who could compete with Jiang se. Luo Yin had to be clear about this!

On December 29th, ” the salvation of God ” was going to be released worldwide at the same time. After four days of screening in North America, the box office sales soared to 380 million US dollars, breaking the historical box office records and shocking the industry insiders.

The momentum of ” the salvation of God ” in China was also very strong. The first stop of the film crew’s publicity in China was set to be in Beijing. The invitation letter for the premiere that night had reached the point where people from all parties privately tried their best to get a vote.

As the reputation of ‘the salvation of God’ rose, the box office sales also soared. It was only a few hours away from screening, but the tickets for the pre-sales at the cinemas in the imperial capital had been sold out long ago.

Even though the theater chain had repeatedly increased the screening frequency, the movie tickets were still hard to get.

Jiang SE’s various social media accounts, the official website of God’s salvation, Weibo, and various forums related to the movie were filled with comments from movie fans asking for tickets at high prices.

As the entire nation was fervently discussing topics related to ” God’s salvation ” and Jiang se, Tao Tao was extremely busy. She had returned to the country a day earlier than Jiang se, but since ” God’s salvation ” had won an award, as a member of the media who had personally witnessed it, she had recently been immersed in sorting out the scripts for her trip to United States.

The public loved to read news about Jiang se. Even if it was an old topic, they liked to talk about it over and over again. A single post about Jiang se would attract a lot of reading and comments.

She had been so busy that she had been using the company as her home for the past few days. She had written several articles about Jiang se, which were very popular among the netizens. She had also received her boss ‘praise. Before she could even heave a sigh of relief, she heard her colleague say, ”

“I don’t know how many netizens who bet United Kingdom CBS gambling website lost money recently!”

sister su, do you still remember the last time on that website, someone bet 500000 Yuan on the least promising ‘God’s salvation’? ”

Among the colleagues, a girl was excited. “At that time, I sneaked out to take a look. A group of netizens on the internet even said that this was a gift from God! You’ve earned a lot, haven’t you?”

When Tao Tao heard her colleague’s words while she was busy, she suddenly gasped. She remembered this!
