I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 724 721. Control

When Qi Lei received another call from Yang Ying and heard that she had arrived at the factory, Xu Xin and Liang Binning stood up and left.

Before leaving, Xu Xin did not forget to say to Qi Lei:

"At least hold her down until the end of the year."

Qi Lei nodded to express his understanding.

After the two came out, Liang Binning said:

"Go shopping with me? What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Whatever. Just have something to eat~"

"Let's go, find a supermarket to buy some food. I'll bake you pancakes and make seafood noodles? Yantai specialties."

"OK."

After Xu Xin responded, the two of them walked out of the office building.

Wang Dongying was already waiting at the door.

After getting in the car, Liang Binning ordered to buy groceries, and Xu Xin suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, how old is Teacher Gao this year?"

"Who? Teacher Gao Huang?"

"right."

"I remember... he seemed to be born in 1942, right?"

42 years…

Xu Xin pulled his fingers.

"Oh, you're almost 70?"

"No, it will be 70 next year."

Speaking of this, Liang Binning glanced at him and asked:

"how?"

"..."

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"Sister, in the past two years, I have asked Xu Zhi and others to keep in touch with you. If there are any artists from Yuntu who come to pitch for the project, you will come forward and take a share of the credit."

After instantly understanding what he meant, Liang Binning nodded:

"good."

"Pay more attention to your own career. I understand that you have to secure your position as the number one person now. But... you also have to start begrudging your own feathers.

The acting and management of the actor troupe in the factory are currently separated. On the surface, Teacher Gao is the leader, but in fact the management is still a matter of the branch.

In the past two years, you have been very active in recruiting talents. Starting next year, I will help you operate it and let Teacher Gao step aside and make way for talents. By pushing you up, you can just take advantage of this wave to completely take root.

Once you have a professional title, qualifications and honors, you don't have to look at anyone's face in the future. You will have no shackles in this circle. "

"Um."

Liang Bingning leaned on her seat and listened carefully.

In terms of sensitivity in this kind of thing...she is far worse than Xu Xin.

To put it bluntly, if she were herself, she might just have a false title of deputy leader in this life.

But it was different when Xu Xin helped her plan.

She can go further.

At this time.

"Sister, Director Xu, this is Yang Ying."

Hearing this, Xu Xin took a look outside the car.

I saw Orange holding an umbrella for Yang Ying, and they were walking along the tree-lined road to the factory.

Seeing this, Xu Xin said to Wang Dongying:

"Yingying, when you enter the factory in the future, don't interfere in the things that Sister Bingbing can do by herself."

"……ah?"

Wang Dongying was a little puzzled.

But Liang Binning understood the meaning and nodded slightly:

"Indeed, you have to pay attention to these things in public. I still remember...when I first debuted, there was a woman named Qin Lan in the circle. Have you heard of her?"

"...I seem to have some impression of "Returning the Pearl"?"

"Yes, the third part. She was really good at acting at that time, and then... she participated in a certain brand event. She was interviewed, and the assistant knelt next to her and held up the microphone to her. As soon as this incident came out, She received a lot of condemnation and has almost disappeared in recent years.”

Xu Xin didn't know much about this kind of gossip.

but……

"The more you are in public, the more careful you are in what you say and do. Now is the Internet age. Everyone has a mobile phone, and if they take some bad things about you casually, it can easily cause a disturbance. The more popular an artist is, the more public he or she is. The artists you pay more attention to are more like this. Sister, you should pay more attention."

"Well, okay... Yingying, write this down. After the study meeting is over, ask the people in the studio to come up with a set of rules. Everyone, including me, must abide by them."

"Okay sister."

Wang Dongying nodded and kept this in mind.

The business car left Xiying Factory all the way and went to the supermarket to buy groceries.

Yang Ying, who didn't know that he had once again become a typical example, came to Qi Lei's office with his heart full of thoughts.

The orange will certainly not be able to get in at this time.

So I could only wait aside and watch Yang Ying knock on the door and walk in.

"Mr. Qi."

Yang Ying smiled and said hello.

"Oh, here we come."

Qi Lei greeted him with a smile.

The attitude is a spring breeze.

No matter what he was thinking, he couldn't let Yang Ying see it.

"sit."

Inviting Yang Ying to sit down, he walked from the desk to the sofa again.

Boil water and make tea.

asked:

"Where did it come from?"

"Come here from Magic City... I have been here in Magic City these past few days."

"Oh~"

Qi Lei nodded.

Then continue playing with the tea leaves.

He will definitely not take the initiative to speak, but will have to wait for Yang Ying to speak first before he can continue to talk about these things.

Yang Ying was sitting in front of the sofa, seeing that Qi Lei had no intention of actively chatting. After thinking about it, he said:

"Mr. Qi, I...have to explain this to you."

"Well, you say."

"What Li Fei said is completely untrue, including that text message. That text message was... We hadn't officially confirmed our relationship yet, so I asked him. But he assured me at the time that he was single..."

In fact, after hearing this, Qi Lei wanted to complain:

"Aren't you just going to sleep first and pay for your tickets later?"

But you definitely can’t say that.

Therefore, he just waited quietly for Yang Ying to finish explaining the cause and effect of the matter.

Just listen to it as gossip.

From how she and Huang Xiaoming met, to how they determined their relationship, to how Huang Xiaoming explained to her how he and Li Fei broke up, etc.

When she spoke, Qi Lei never interrupted.

He waited until Yang Ying finished speaking before he nodded:

"Well, that's it."

"...Yes, Mr. Qi, I am really not a mistress. Our relationship is normal. There is no such thing as me being Li Fei's boyfriend..."

"Um……"

Qi Lei nodded again.

Then the conversation changed:

"Of course I believe you, baby. But you also have to consider one thing, that is... no matter what happens this time, you don't have any evidence. Can Huang Xiaoming come out and prove it to you?"

"..."

Yang Ying was momentarily speechless.

Qi Lei continued:

"What's more, whether you prove it or not, in the eyes of people who don't like you, you are already the so-called "mistress" in their eyes. And what has happened now, whether you have a clear conscience or not, as the factory, we must I want to protect you. Do you understand?"

"Then...what should I do now?"

Qi Lei did not answer her directly, but asked:

"Why doesn't Huang Xiaoming stand up and clarify?"

"..."

Yang Ying was immediately speechless.

She was the one who didn't choose to let Huang Xiaoming clarify in the first place.

But now... this matter has become a mess.

Seeing this, Qi Lei shook his head slightly, as if he was not very satisfied, and sighed directly:

"Baby, you have to know... you were supposed to be the artist that Yun Tu is favoring this year. But now... at least this year, Yun Tu will not continue to take any action against you. This matter must be cooled down."

"!!!"

Yang Ying instinctively wanted to speak.

But Qi Lei waved his hand to stop her:

"I know, you may feel that it is more than this... Indeed, if it were other units or private enterprises, this matter would indeed be more than this. But don't forget, we are a state-owned factory, and you are part of an actor troupe. As a member of the company, your words and deeds are related to the face of the factory and Yuntu."

"Mr. Qi, but I really don't..."

"I know, even people in the factory know who you are, and everyone trusts you. But one code is the same, understand? This matter, from an objective point of view, is your personal behavior, right? Or In other words, from an ethical point of view, your problem can be classified as "lack of self-love." Do you agree?"

"..."

Yang Ying was speechless and could only nod passively.

really.

This is the crux of the matter.

The screenshot of Li Fei's text message made it very clear.

The relationship between me and Huang Xiaoming did not happen after they were together, but it was an impulse after drinking...

Seeing that she didn't refute, Qi Lei said directly:

"The artistic value and artistic ethics of the actors in our factory are directly linked... Otherwise, why do you think we will suddenly launch a study meeting this time? Or is it mandatory for everyone to participate?"

"It's...because of me."

Yang Ying's face was already full of bitterness.

She really never thought that things would develop like this.

But it's too late to say anything now.

"Mr. Qi, what should I do next?"

"Yesterday, the factory held a meeting very late because of your matter. Everyone's attitude is that you should stop working for a while."

Yang Ying's body trembled and he panicked:

"Qi...Mr. Qi!?"

Qi Lei waved his hand and motioned for her to listen to him:

"After the decision came out, Xu Xin just called me. After hearing about this matter... he tried to protect you, saying that it was really not your fault. And he had already started to find someone to do Li Fei's job... We communicated on the phone for a long time.

We were even communicating this morning... To tell you the truth, just now, Xu Xin was still here communicating with me about your affairs. He said he respected the factory's decision, but hoped not to stop all work but to retain the resources in Yindu.

Moreover, he will personally communicate with the people in Yindu... He has issued a guarantee, guaranteeing that you will never have any problems in this regard in the future. Tomorrow, I will organize another meeting to discuss your matter again. The premise is that he can get Yindu's resources... I say this, do you understand? "

"..."

Yang Ying didn't answer.

When she heard that she was going to be stopped from working for a while, everyone panicked.

But with Qi Lei's words, she seemed to see another life-saving straw.

After a moment of panic, she asked:

"Then...when can you recover?"

"Until this matter is completely settled. Baby, you should understand that we don't want this. But as an actor, if you can't have both ability and political integrity, it will not only be a shame on your personal identity. As one of your supervisory units , we must give appropriate explanations both upwards and downwards in order to protect your future."

Did Yang Ying understand?

understood.

But compared to these, she cares more about the specifics.

For example...

"Then... the work here in the factory has completely stopped, which means... "The Voice"..."

"One of them too."

Qi Lei sighed:

"Sigh... The factory is currently in the process of urgently selecting candidates to take over your job. Be prepared for the handover. Once a suitable candidate is determined, the official "The Voice" official expo will issue a personnel change announcement."

"..."

Qi Lei's words were like a thunder that exploded in Yang Ying's heart.

Like a disaster passing by.

Only a mess was left.

…

"This clam soup...isn't it high in purine?"

Leaning against the door of the kitchen, he looked at the pot of clam soup used to make seafood noodles and asked unconsciously.

"It's okay to eat it once in a while."

Liang Binning smiled.

"You will know after you taste it. It tastes very good. It will definitely suit your taste~"

"Okay~...Mengmeng, go buy some beer."

He directed Su Meng to go to the gate of the community to buy beer.

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.

After taking out the phone and taking a look at it, he said to Liang Bingning:

"This is from Yang Ying."

"Um."

Liang Bingning responded and closed the range hood directly.

"Hello?"

"Hello... Director Xu, I'm baby."

"……What’s wrong with you?"

"ah?"

"How can I not save your number? Why do I feel like you are out of your mind?"

Xu Xin's acting skills are so natural.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Director Xu... I just came out of Mr. Qi's office, and right now... I'm a little confused."

Hearing this, Xu Xin made a surprised sound:

"Oh?... So you know everything?"

"……Um."

Yang Ying responded, and a very sincere voice rang from the phone:

"Thank you, Director Xu...I really...except this, I don't know what to say."

"well……"

Xu Xin sighed:

"Don't blame the factory. What happened to you this time is a big blow to the factory. If you don't take a serious attitude and deal with it seriously, then you won't be able to control your people in the future."

"I can understand...I...I..."

There was a cry in her voice.

But Xu Xin didn't let her cry:

"Okay, don't get too excited now. It's not that this matter is extremely bad... Did Mr. Qi tell you that I contacted people in Yindu for you?"

"...I told you."

"Well, I'm doing work over in Yindu, but... they should sell me this face. And I also said hello over there in the headwind. Your future career will definitely be affected to some extent, but it doesn't mean it will be completely affected. There is no way to go. Don’t forget, you have now established your own studio, and you have a certain degree of autonomy in terms of business. Do you understand what I mean? "

"Huh?...Huh??"

The cry in Yang Ying's voice disappeared instantly, replaced by a touch of surprise:

"Xu...Director Xu, what do you mean?"

"Didn't I say that you should still be able to get Yindu's resources. However, Yuntu's management is against the wind. The reason why the factory stopped your work is because you are a member of the Xiying actor team. They must Make a look.

But if you can find a job that has nothing to do with the factory, Yuntu won't say anything for my sake. In other words, if you have some other resources in hand, it will be no problem to continue following up.

What's more, here in the factory, you are actually only one from "The Voice" and one from "The Masked Singer". Your main business is in film and television, do you understand?

The punishment given to you by the factory may seem severe, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that everyone has left you some room. Otherwise, Qi Lei will not tell you about the punishment in the factory, but will be issued directly from Yuntu. Got it, girl. "

After what he said, Liang Binning was already holding up the dismembered lobster and giving him a thumbs up.

This trick... you finally figured it out.

Give him a slap and a sweet date.

One is a good person, the other is a bad person.

He controlled this girl very well.

as expected.

After Yang Ying was stunned for a moment, the mood in his heart of "a new village is full of bright flowers" turned into a voice:

"ah!?"

"Okay, stop it. Just listen to me, it must be right. I will try my best to fight for you in Yindu, after all, they can fully integrate into the resources of Hong Kong. And the remaining part... you set up your own studio After that, the business development aspect should be operational. So, you actually haven’t lost anything. Don’t be so discouraged. Just do what you need to do normally to develop and plan your career. The maximum punishment in the factory is half a year, one year. The movie...has basically no impact on you. Do you understand?"

"I understand! I understand!"

A wave of ecstasy filled his heart. At this moment, Yang Ying, who was sitting in the car, could only see gratitude and joy in his eyes.

"I understand, Director Xu! Thank you... thank you so much!"

"It's okay. I have to thank your sister for this. She gave me the idea. Also, study hard these days. I will arrange for others to give you a few C-position shots when taking photos for promotion. Pay careful attention to your appearance. Whether it’s clothing or makeup, it can’t be flashy, do you understand?”

"Yeah, I understand!"

"Okay, let's do this...baby, remember, it won't happen again. This is a warning, Yuntu will not bear the next loss, do you understand?"

"Um!"

With Yang Ying's firm assurance, Xu Xin hung up the phone.

Liang Binning reopened the range hood and said with a smile:

"This girl is being fooled around by you. What's next? Let her ask Huang Xiaoming for resources?"

"Um."

Xu Xin had no intention of hiding anything from her:

"Huang Xiaoming owes me a big favor this time. And since he has decided to take Yang Ying back to Qingdao to meet his parents, it means that marriage has been put on the agenda. He will definitely have to show some attitude towards his future wife because she has suffered such a great injustice. . And as long as Yang Ying starts to leverage the resources of Beijing Circle... With the protection of Yuntu and her own vigilance, the chance of getting into trouble is slim. As long as she can leverage Huayi's resources, then others will naturally be able to leverage them too. .”

"The foundation of Beijing Circle...is crumbling."

After following Xu Xin's words, Liang Binning had a look of emotion on her face:

"No wonder they hate you so much after the establishment of Yuntu...and they want to restrain their artists every day, and watch them...your move really hit them seven inches."

"Sister, please pay more attention to yourself."

"hey-hey."

Liang Binning smiled slyly:

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"Um……"

Xu Xin responded, sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

Thinking about whether there are any loopholes in this matter, I quickly made up for it.

Seeing this, Liang Binning took out a clean ashtray from under the TV cabinet.

"Mimi and the child are not here, so you can smoke if you want. It won't bother you."

"Um."

Xu Xin responded, lit a cigarette, and fell into deep thought.

…

"Mengmeng?"

"...Ah? Brother Cong."

Su Meng, who was walking into the community with two bottles of beer, heard someone calling her, turned around and said hello immediately.

"Come on, come on, get in the car."

Wang Sicong parked the Bentley next to her.

And Su Meng also saw Di Wei sitting in the passenger seat.

"Brother Seven."

"Um."

Di Wei smiled and nodded:

"Get in the car."

"OK."

Su Meng got into the car and realized that Xu Dafa and Sister Apple were not there.

But she didn’t ask, but said:

"Brother Cong, Brother Xu is at Sister Bingbing's place."

"not at home?"

"No, Sister Bingbing also bought a house. Do you want to go there?"

"Well……"

Wang Sicong thought for a while and said:

"I won't go. I'll go check out the e-sports base first. How are you going to eat at night?"

"Sister Bingbing is cooking."

"...?"

Wang Sicong was stunned again.

Then he changed his mind:

"Let's go and take a look first and identify the door."

So, Su Meng showed him the way and soon arrived in front of the villa.

After getting off the car, he and Di Wei seemed to have no luggage and followed Su Meng directly into the villa without any intention of opening the trunk.

The hand-in-hand kind.

Su Meng's eyes straightened instantly.

Looking at Brother Cong and Brother Qi...

Then she saw Wang Sicong smiling triumphantly and giving her a look that could only be understood but not expressed.

"..."

"Dong dong dong."

Su Meng suppressed her surprise and rang the doorbell.

Soon the door was pushed open.

When Xu Xin saw these three people together, he showed an unexpected look.

But immediately the surprise turned into a joke after seeing the two people holding hands:

"Hey, I thought you two would go to the World of Two."

"..."

Si Wei's face instantly turned red.

On the contrary, it was Wang Sicong who said in a silly and cheerful voice with his brain boiling:

"What's the hurry? We have to stay for a week."

Xu Xin was happy when he saw his virtue.

No, I have to ask carefully later.

Give way:

"come in."

"Who is it?"

Liang Bingning's voice sounded.

When he saw these two people, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"Huh?...You...they..."

The previous words were said to Wang Sicong.

The following words were asked to Xu Xin.

Xu Xin shrugged:

"Don't ask me, I don't know."

"..."

Liang Binning was really interested now:

"when?"

"...hehe, the day before yesterday."

The eldest young master finally stopped hiding. He brought Di Wei's hand to his mouth and took a sip.

"Sister Bingbing, this is my girlfriend, Di Wei."

This is considered a formal introduction.

Before Di Wei could speak, Xu Xin suddenly nodded slightly and muttered in his heart:

"Well, it's okay. Fortunately, I'm not my boyfriend. Otherwise..."

Lao Wang, you are too high and low.
