"With my qualifications, all I lack now is an opportunity! My plan is to start with a supporting role in my first drama to get so exposure and gain experience. Then, for my second drama, I’ll pick a role as a likable second or third male lead and work hard on my performance. For the third drama, I’ll collaborate with top actress Shi Shi, play the main male lead, and shoot to stardom..."
Stop, stop, stop! Han Lie thought. By the fourth drama, you’ll be planning to leave the returning stars in the dust! For the fifth drama, the female lead will be An Xi, the second female lead Zhao Xiaodao, and the third female lead so huge secret, with all the stars revolving around you, lifting you to the highest throne in dostic entertainnt... After that, you’ll probably join the Sewing Machine Band with Fan Fan.
To put it dramatically—with Han Lie’s emotional intelligence, he didn’t even know how to continue the conversation with Guo Yihuai.
The scoundrel glanced sideways at Si Yu; she was also wide-eyed with astonishnt, her expression clearly asking, ’What on earth?!’
Sensing Han Lie’s gaze, she quietly pursed her lips and gave him a thumbs-up under the table.
Impressive, impressive!
Han Lie, that scamp, pressed his index and middle fingers onto her leg. As she stared in surprise, he bent them downwards, as if to say, I’m on my knees.
Si Yu got the hint and instantly burst out laughing.
Just as the two finished their little exchange, Guo Yihuai’s grand monologue finally concluded.
The handso young man licked his lips, clearly wanting to say more, and looked at Han Lie expectantly.
"Alright!"
Brother Lie agreed crisply. "If I get a chance, I’ll arrange a get-together, and you can talk to Sister Shi in person."
Guo Yihuai was overjoyed, completely bypassing the words "if I get a chance," and instantly switched to his anticipated state of fa.
"My good brother! You’re a true friend! If you ever need anything, just ask. If I have at to eat, I definitely won’t let you just have soup!"
Enough, enough, Han Lie thought. The pigs haven’t even been raised yet, and he’s already thinking about eating the at. He’s really jumping the gun...
Han Lie secretly dismissed the grand promises and, with a chuckle, continued to humor the young man.
Guo Yihuai might be unreliable, but he was a bridge.
Once he got friendly with Old Guo and they beca sworn brothers, there would be plenty of opportunities to ’educate’ this ’great-nephew.’
anwhile, Fang Tongzhi, Liu Yingjun, and the others were exchanging bewildered glances. What in the world? Going off-topic is one thing, but this is getting completely out of hand! It’s like a total farce...
When Guo Yihuai finally stopped rambling, Fang Tongzhi hurriedly interjected, "Han Shao, five million is too little to split among us. It’s almost the New Year; who can’t scrape together one or two million for their personal funds back ho? Can’t you think of another way?"
Empty words, Han Lie thought disdainfully. Who does he think he is?
Fang Tongzhi was genuinely anxious. His main support had defected for so inexplicable reason, and now he didn’t have much to offer.
Brother Lie was in a good mood and replied with a smile, "I know you can all pull together quite a bit of money, and that’s exactly the problem..."
"Han Shao!"
Fang Tongzhi didn’t let Han Lie continue his refusal.
Taking a deep breath, he whispered, "We know this is difficult for you, so—there’s no limit on the amount. You can take the highest possible percentage of the profits. How about that?"
Oh, this is getting interesting.
Brother Lie glanced at him with a half-smile and leisurely asked, "Do you know what the highest percentage is?"
"I do."
Fang Tongzhi gritted his teeth. "It’s a tiered profit share; anything over two hundred percent profit goes to your company, right?"
Now it was Han Lie’s turn to be baffled.
Seriously? Where did you hear such a fantastical story?
After a mont’s stun, Han Lie patted Fang Tongzhi on the arm with a beaming smile. "We’re brothers, so let’s skip the formalities. Go raise the money; it’s a guaranteed win!"
Fang Tongzhi imdiately let out a huge sigh of relief, feeling that he had completed the task rather well.
It’s the opportunities that are hard to get on that offer the fastest track, right? he mused.
So, Brother Lie ’tearfully’ accepted his brothers’ kind offer, once again reiterating how difficult things were for him.
Fang Tongzhi, Liu Yingjun, and the others expressed their deep understanding, everything harmonious.
This was what you call a win-win situation! (A ntal tactical lean back.) Precisely!
