"Mumu, you are always here with me." He spread his five fingers, gently placing them on his heart, then slowly tightened them, as if he was also incorporating something into his heart out of thin air.
"Can you give me a chance? Let's start over, as Leo, and also as Xiao Chen."
The camera lingered on his final smile, with a hint of shyness and anticipation.
In the living room, Old Master Lin furrowed his brow as he stared at the large screen, absolutely certain that this Mumu was his granddaughter. This man did indeed have some courage, daring to publicly apologize to his granddaughter in front of the media and the public. He glanced sideways at the separated dining room where Liu Er Bao was chatting, unaware of the matter. His granddaughter turned back silently, tapping the armrest of the sofa with her knuckles, lips slightly parted. After a while, he called Linbo over.
After having breakfast, Lin Muyan wanted Liu Er Bao to stay a little longer.
"No, Sister Yan, I have to go to work," Liu Er Bao said, glancing at the time and then back at the Lin family.
But who made her a working person?
She has taken too much time off recently. If she takes more, her bonus should be deducted.
Before leaving, she gestured eagerly to Old Master Lin who suddenly lost interest in watching TV.
"Can you fulfill a small wish for me, Grandfather Lin?"
Old Master Lin He grunted in acknowledgment, then saw her pull out a banknote from somewhere and respectfully hand it to him.
"Grandpa, can you sign this for me? I want to keep it and show off to others in the future."
She giggled, "My colleague at work always brags to me about how great her home is. Hmph, compared to your family, she's nothing. I want to use Grandpa's signature to put her in her place!"
Old Master Lin made a big stroke and thoughtfully gave a group photo. Over here, Liu Er Bao had Linbo arrange for a driver to take them away. The lively atmosphere in the living room suddenly quieted down, and Old Master Lin was a little uncomfortable. "In the future, let this child come and visit more often."
Lin Muyan nodded with a smile.
Originally, Old Master Lin wanted to ask about Xiao Chen, but seeing that his granddaughter's mood had improved a lot, he didn't bring it up again.
When the call was connected, Lin Muyan received a text message confirming Liu Er Bao's safe arrival.
She glanced at the incoming call display and answered, "Lin Zong, Stu Studio suddenly sent a collaboration invitation. Do you think we should accept it?" Shen Yang's voice seemed calm, but even Lin Muyan could hear his surprise through the phone, as if he hadn't recovered from this pleasant surprise.
If it were before, Lin Muyan would have been somewhat surprised, but after knowing that Xiao Chen is Leo, she lost interest in cooperating with Stu. "Lin Zong?" Shen Yang waited for a while without hearing a response from the other end of the phone. Thinking the call didn't go through, he said softly again before hearing Lin Muyan's voice.
"I won't reply to them for now. I'll decide when I get back to the office."
Old Master Lin Just as he had arranged to play chess with someone, he turned around to see his granddaughter hurrying out. "What's wrong? Is there something going on at the company again?"
Lin Muyan nodded without elaborating, and asked Linbo to arrange a car for her.
The road conditions are still pretty good, and there wasn't much traffic.
"Lin Zong, this is the contract drafted by our Stu Studio. Please take a look."
The assistant sent by Stu was the same woman as last time, with thin-framed glasses that she habitually pushed up, speaking slowly and methodically, as if she had long been accustomed to such scenes.
Lin Muyan Checked each contract one by one, and after finishing, pushed them forward.
"Xiao Chen, did he send you?"
She called out his name directly, making the female assistant frown uncomfortably.
"Lin Zong But which part are you not satisfied with?"
Lin Muyan smirked, "I'm quite satisfied with all of it. This contract should be the first time Stu has made such an unfavorable deal, right?"
She pointed to the profit-sharing ratio above. She had also researched Stu Studio, and they always took the lion's share directly. The contract in her hand now was almost no different from a gift.
More importantly, they are willing to dispatch top talents from the studio, which should have doubled the price. "Since you are satisfied, can we sign the contract directly?" Lin Muyan could tell that the other party was dissatisfied and a little impatient, but she was not in a hurry, nor was she afraid of being taken advantage of.
"Satisfied as I am, there are some details that I feel are worth reconsidering. We have always placed great importance on cooperation, especially when it comes to the content inside that still needs to be discussed. I will carefully choose a date to negotiate the proposed changes with other members of the company. You can go back for now, and I will have someone notify you when there's an update."
"This contract is already the bottom line for us," the female assistant couldn't help but say angrily.
Lin Muyan smiled coldly and looked at her, "So what you're saying is, if Stu wants to cooperate, we have no right to refuse? Have you thought about what price you'll have to pay if I do refuse this cooperation?"
The female assistant turned pale and unwillingly turned her head.
Without saying a word, Lin Muyan also wanted some peace and quiet. After exchanging a few polite words, she smiled faintly and asked Shen Yang to escort the person out. Once the person had completely left the building, she leaned back in her chair.
Shen Yang glanced at the contract for a moment, then asked Lin Muyan, " Lin Zong, are we really not cooperating with Stu?"
Lin Muyan gave him a sideways glance, "Why wouldn't we cooperate?"
It would be foolish not to take advantage of a ready-made deal.
However, she won't jump to conclusions so quickly. After all, she's quite vengeful. The news of Stu's visit quickly spread throughout the entire company, and almost all the prominent figures at Peak Entertainment knew that Lin Muyan had impressed Stu, and praises for her were heard everywhere. Several directors who had previously criticized Lin Muyan also praised her during the meeting, both openly and subtly urging her to quickly close the case and not keep Stu waiting too long.
But Lin Muyan simply doesn't care. She is very clear that it was not her ability that changed Stu's mind, but simply because the other party's boss is Xiao Chen. And Xiao Chen is now trying to win her favor.
The company has recently been promoting a new actor named Cheng Xin. Lin Muyan intends to groom him as a major star, so she has been very strict about his acting roles. Stu's contract also specifies promoting Cheng Xin, completely aligning with Lin Muyan's intentions. However, before this, Lin Muyan had just arranged a dinner with some Investors.
Speaking of which, they also met by chance. That day, Lin Muyan went to buy Hermès and happened to run into a saleswoman who was serving a regular customer. She spoke up and ended up meeting this investment big sister who was being served. This big sister suddenly became rich, so she was particularly cheerful. Lin Muyan hit it off with her and casually mentioned her company Cheng Xin, only to find out that this investor was actually a fan of Cheng Xin. They hit it off right away.
This time, I invited her to dinner to discuss the details of investment. Just before leaving, Lin Muyan didn't know what she was thinking and suddenly put on that wide-sleeved ruqun. Previously, when she was in the ancient town, she gave off a stunning fairy-like feeling. Now, after the improvements, it fits much better than before, full of fairy spirit while also possessing symmetrical beauty. Even the design of the waistline has become more sophisticated.
Even if Lin Muyan is angry with Xiao Chen, his designer's eye is really impeccable. As soon as she sat down, the investors excitedly pulled her around in a circle. "Oh my, Xiao Lin, your dress is really beautiful! Where did you buy it?"
Under the piercing gaze of the investors, Lin Muyan awkwardly shrunk her neck. "It's a gift from a friend," she said. She then pulled the investors back to their seats and called the waiter to order the menu.
"Wang Jie, what would you like to eat? I've been to this restaurant before, and their squab is quite good. Do you want to try it?"
Investors Reluctantly took back her gaze, glanced at the menu, and then looked back.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she couldn't help but admire the outfit Lin Muyan was wearing. She smiled and said, "Sister, don't be offended by my straightforwardness. I really like your dress. How about this, I'll give you ten thousand, will you sell it to me?"
Her sincerity was evident in her words. When Lin Muyan remained silent, she raised the bid by another five, "Fifteen thousand, still not enough?"
Seeing that she was unwilling to give up and wanted to raise the price, Lin Muyan quickly called a halt.
"I didn't mean that, Wang Jie. This dress was specially given to me by a friend. I'm not selling it."
Lin Muyan Holding the edge of her skirt, thinking about the handmade dress someone stayed up late to make for her, she added, "I'm really sorry, I really can't sell this dress."
Investors Seeing that she was unwilling to sell, although a bit regretful, they didn't force her, just laughed it off as a joke.
Lin Muyan Ordered a few items, all of which suited Investors' taste, and with her timely disclosure of some interesting stories about Cheng Xin, the atmosphere became lively, cheering up Investors.
Both of them had a little to drink. Investors had a flushed face, but clear eyes. Seeing this, Lin Muyan knew it was settled, and quickly poured another glass for Investors.
"Wang Jie, when are you free to visit our peak? I'll have Cheng Xin accompany you for a tour."
In order to win over this important client, Lin Muyan took the initiative to "sell" Cheng Xin out.
Investors chuckled and patted her on the shoulder, "You're quite the businesswoman, Cheng Xin. I'm afraid you'll end up buying from yourself and still paying for it."
Lin Muyan smiled, "How could that be? With a wife fan like you, I wouldn't dare."
"Hey Xiaolin, I heard that Stu Studio is going to collaborate with your peak?" Investors chatted with Lin Muyan for a while, then turned the conversation with a feigned attempt to probe.
The other party's confident tone clearly indicates that they have obtained some information. She concealed her emotions in her eyes and smiled, "Where did you hear this from? Nothing has been confirmed yet."
"I definitely have my sources, but to be honest, if you really collaborate with Stu Studio, it wouldn't be a bad thing. Look at the recent popular fantasy drama, it has great potential for development. Cheng Xin is a natural clothes hanger, if you can get Stu Studio on board, peak directing, and Stu handling costumes, the film is sure to be a big hit!"
