7 Press Conference 1
Fang Yu had been working non stop since the day of Mo Ting official announcement. He needed to secure the place which was the easiest task to do. More cooperation would be needed to clear both Tang Ning and Ning Xi schedule. Additionally, there was another surprise that they were planning to release but it would up to his boss to achieve it. Fang Yu was never been this excited. He was sincerely hoping that whatever his boss had told him would happen.
Mo Ting had personally made a call to Lu Ting Xiao and Ye Bai. They had arranged a meeting at private room in S Hotel, one of the most expensive hotel in the city. It was a locally chain hotel under Si Corporation. Mo Ting purposely chose this hotel, not affected by either Mo or Lu family. Little did he know that Ye Bai was tiedly close with Si Corporation, and whatever neutrality he would like to achieve today, was totally not met. However no one knew about this fact.
At exactly 7pm, one by one entered the private room. Mo Ting as the host had come up earlier.
"Sit down everyone. Before we start, do you want to order anything?" Lu Ting Xiao and Mo Ting both ordered a glass of wine while Ye Bai resorted to ice lemon tea instead which raised question from both Mo Ting and Lu Ting Xiao. In business context, it was quite common to drink wine or alcohol while talking business. Those with low alcohol tolerance would prefer coffee or tea. None had they encountered a businessman who chose ice lemon tea.
Feeling the questioning look from both sides of table, Ye Bai just shrugged it off,"My girlfriend doesn't allow me to drink any alcohol. Please pardon me."
Understanding quickly dawned between the three of them. They all understood the importance of their partner requests, which was why Ye Bai intentionally came up with the excuse. After the staff came to pour the wine and retreated, the business talk was finally started.
"You must be wondering why I am invited you all here." Mo Ting opened the discussion. Lu Ting Xiao patiently waiting while Ye Bai, although looked lazy, anyone could sense his interest was piqued.
"There must be relation with the press conference. What do you have in mind?" Ye Bai made a guess and it seemed to hit the mark.
Mo Ting took out two folders and handed it over to them.
"Inside would be a movie script and proposal. The movie script was written by newcomer box office writer for 'Stupid'. While the proposal, in short, would be combination of both Tang Ning and Ning Xi as main actresses. The movie would revolve around their sisterhood in combating political issue. One would be police officer and the other would be prosecutor or judge. However, both did not about their identity because they were separated since childhood."
Lu Ting Xiao took the folder and her phone at the same time. He seemed like sending a picture to someone, when suddenly he just closed the folder,"I'm in."
Ye Bai who was still reviewing the proposal on hand looked terribly shocked. He had not discussed with his so-called 'girlfriend' and the guy in front of him had said yes so fast!
"Do you need more time to consider?" Mo Ting shared the same confusion with Ye Bai.
Lu Ting Xiao replied,"My wife said to go ahead. I will follow what she wants. Contract wise, both our legal team could meet up and discuss."
"How about you, Ye Bai?" Mo Ting now turning to Ye Bai to get some reply.
"I need to make a call, but I am interested in this project."
"Aren't you the boss?" Lu Ting Xiao asked. His eyes seemed to search for something inside Ye Bai and made him uncomfortable. He could not let his disguise to be found out. If these two guys here found out his real identity, his darling would skin him alive and took over Great White Entertainment from his hand.
Ye Bai smiled and left the table. At one quiet corner.
"Hello."
"My darlinggg! I am in the meeting now with Mo Ting and Lu Ting Xiao, they want our Great White to have joint investment on the next movie project with Tang Ning and Ning Xi. What do you think?"
"What do you feel about it?"
"I think this is a very good opportunity, with such great actresses and famous scriptwriter. Additionally coming from Hai Rui, it would be risky but worth it."
"Then go. Even if the investment is loss, we have other business to cover the loss."
"Huh? Like that only? You agree so fast?"
"My money is also yours. Go ahead. I have another meeting. See you later." Si Ye Han ended his call. Truth to be told, the hotel manager had told him earlier about the meeting between three of them. He more or less had guessed what kind of meeting would be held following the Gremmies Award. As expected from Mo Ting, he moved fast.
Ye Bai came back as fast as he went out. "Okay, let's do it."
"Let's have a toast for another collaboration." Mo Ting raised his wine glass, followed by Lu Ting Xiao and Ye Bai ice lemon tea.
