Chapter 176 Beloved Relatives and Friends
Cai Yinong, the boss of Tangren Film and Television Company, is a real strong woman.

Like Zhang Da Huzi, she is extremely confident.

But the angle of confidence is slightly different.

But what confident people have in common is narcissism.

The bearded man is narcissistic and likes to fantasize about his own personality and ideas.

Boss Cai was even more direct. She liked people who looked like herself!

Daniel Wu doesn’t mention the word “good looks” every day, because his handsomeness needs no explanation.

But Cai Yinong is just the type who is neither good nor bad.

Among ordinary people, she does look good.

But she is in the film and television industry after all, and there are so many beauties in this world!

But Boss Cai's confidence in his appearance obviously exceeds his own strength, which has formed a unique narcissistic complex.

This can be called mirror-image narcissism.

She particularly likes women who look similar to herself.

In fact, this makes sense. After all, if someone is similar to oneself, one will subconsciously think that the other person's personality, behavior, and style are similar to oneself, and one will be more willing to understand and make friends with him or her.

The reason why Zhang Yuan knew Boss Cai’s weakness was actually very simple.

Just look at the two generations of "No. 1 Sisters" of Tangren Film and Television and you will understand.

The number one sister in later generations is, of course, my "senior sister" Liu Shishi.

Before her, the undisputed number one star of Tangren Film and Television was Huang Lei’s student and wife, Sun Li!
If you put the ID photos of Sun Li, Cai Yinong and Liu Shishi together and tell them that they are sisters, probably people will believe it.

Of course, Sun Li and Liu Shishi are female stars after all, and they are definitely more beautiful.

But whether it is the bone structure or the eyebrows, the three of them have similarities, which is irrefutable.

They all have chubby oval faces, willow-shaped eyebrows, round almond eyes, and round noses. When they were young, they all had cute rabbit-like smiles.

So when Zhang Yuan learned that Boss Cai wanted to talk to him, he specially asked Liu Shishi to change his hairstyle.

Cai Yinong's standard outfit is all black, and she doesn't like to wear tight clothes.

The clothes reflect the person, which shows that this person is both serious and relaxed, and is easy to deal with among the bosses.

Now Liu Shishi was also dressed up in a similar way by Zhang Yuan. Boss Cai glanced at her and was stunned.

When I walked up to take a look, I almost thought I was looking in a mirror!
Appearance, hairstyle, clothes... Is there something wrong with my father's lifestyle?
I have a long lost sister?

Just show how confident this person is. She would rather doubt her father than doubt her own eyes.

"Are you... Zhang Yuan's senior sister?" Cai Yinong returned to the table and asked hesitantly.

Liu Shishi raised her head and asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

"Have you heard my story?"

Boss Cai smiled and replied: "Your face is full of stories."

"Great smart guy, no, Mr. Cai, didn't you leave? Why are you back?" Zhang Yuan asked knowingly.

"Your senior sister looks younger than you?"

"In our industry, we don't judge by age. The three-year-old comes in first, and the eighty-year-old comes in later. The eighty-year-old also has to call the three-year-old his senior brother."

Just like the generation gap in rural areas, it is common for people in their eighties or nineties to call an adolescent girl aunt. Early marriage and early childbearing coincide with late marriage and late childbearing, and three generations can create a gap between two generations.

"Mr. Cai, why don't you leave first? As a big boss, you must be very busy." Zhang Yuan chased him away again.

Can Cai Yinong leave?
Of course not!

She felt that she had met a treasure and how could she bear to leave.

"Zhang Yuan, can you introduce me to your senior sister?" Mr. Cai said with a sincere smile.

“I think she has star quality.”

Zhang Yuan immediately stretched out his hand to block Liu Shishi, revealing a cautious look.

"Boss Cai, my sister's family asked me to help keep an eye on her and prevent her from getting involved in any messy circles."

Cai Yinong was so angry when she heard this.

What is a messy circle?
Aren't you in this circle too?

This world is in such a mess because of you!

"Senior sister, are you right?"

"what?"

"Is that right?" Zhang Yuan winked.

Liu Shishi finally reacted: "Ah, right, right..."

Before coming, Zhang Yuan had carefully instructed her to talk less and to read her expressions. He would take care of everything.

"Zhang Yuan, I know you want to protect your fellow disciples, that's good." President Cai calmed down and said, "But you can't hinder their development."

"Mr. Cai, you don't know her. Apart from being beautiful and having a good figure, and having studied dance for more than ten years, she is really not suitable for the film and television industry."

Cai Yinong: ???
What else do we need in this line of work besides these?

Is it academic qualifications and character?

Boss Cai wasn't stupid either, and he began to come to his senses.

This guy is deliberately teasing me!

Oh, in all likelihood, this senior sister was arranged by him on purpose.

Come with me here, right?
Trying to hook me?
I...Isn't it okay for me to bite the hook?

There was no way, it was love at first sight, Liu Shishi's appearance was engraved in her heart.

"Zhang Yuan, do you really not want your senior sister to develop in the film and television industry?"

"Of course!" Zhang Yuan said righteously: "These are my beloved relatives, brothers and sisters..."

"We need to talk in detail!"

Boss Cai understood completely that if he wanted to contact Zhang Yuan, as the girl's full-powered representative, he would have to give him some benefits.

The so-called benefit is...

"We can talk more about the TV series 'Chinese Paladin'."

"We can also talk about your senior sister's affairs."

"Okay." Zhang Yuan grinned, looking happy after succeeding.

He is too smart to be dealt with.

So, I must find a way to pull him to my side!

"If you have any ideas, you can tell me first."

Zhang Yuan was no longer polite and said boldly: "I can find a way to invest."

"Okay." Boss Cai believed that Zhang Yuan was simply asking for more money from his financial backer.

But she was completely wrong. Zhang Yuan would not look for Zhao Decai, and a third-party investor must be introduced.

Because only the triangle is the most stable, he has to find someone who can help him attract firepower and balance the opponent.

"Secondly, I own a catering company, and I would like to cooperate with Tangren on the catering services for the film set for a long time."

"Can consider it."

Cai Yinong's attitude was no longer as shy as before, and became very straightforward.

"Third, the male lead Li Xiaoyao must be me!"

"I don't agree with this. After all, you have never played the leading role..." Seeing that they were about to return to the deadly cycle of which came first, the chicken or the egg, Zhang Yuan waved his hand and then said.

"I can give in on the issue of the female lead."

Cai Yinong hesitated for a while.

Apart from Zhang Yuan, the person she most wants to bring to her side in the current TV drama market is Liu Qianqian.

"Let me think about it." Boss Cai softened his attitude a little, but still didn't want to give up.

"Mr. Cai, how about this? I'll get you and my investors to sign a draft contract first, and then we can do the preliminary preparations for the crew, including the script, props, costumes, and scenes."

Zhang Yuan had to pull the other party into the car first. Once the preliminary preparations began and there was sunk cost, the other party would not be able to escape.

Now he was afraid that he might push the other party too far and end up breaking up with him.

"Okay, we'll discuss the casting later."

The two shook hands and made peace, and that was it.

"Then can we talk about your senior sister's situation?" Boss Cai felt itchy in his heart and was very curious.

Zhang Yuan knew that Boss Cai was a trustworthy man, so he openly introduced Liu Shishi's situation to him.

"Oh, Beijing Dance Academy. No wonder you have such a good temperament and figure. It's awesome!" After hearing this, Boss Cai praised from the bottom of his heart.

Because of family changes, she, like all girls, wanted to learn piano and dance, but these wishes were never fulfilled.

"Boss Cai, we have some things to do, why don't we stop here today?"

Zhang Yuan deliberately stopped when the other party was in high spirits.

"If you have any problems later, just contact me. I have the final say on my sister's affairs."

After saying that, they left without waiting for Mr. Cai to try to stop them.

"Hey..." Boss Cai was stunned.

"Tsk, this kid knows my heart."

"Now he is not only using himself as a bargaining chip, but also hanging his senior sister on one side of the scale."

"If I don't meet his conditions, I'm afraid I won't get any."

But she thought again of the handsome boy who had just been discovered by her and starred in the TV series "Dandelion" with Sun Li.

She couldn't bear to leave either side...

"Junior brother, is this okay?" On the way home, Liu Shishi tilted his head and asked curiously.

“But why do I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything?”

"These are all big things, how can they be completed in one go?" Zhang Yuan glanced at the high heels on her feet.

Liu Shishi doesn't usually wear high heels, so now she feels a little awkward walking.

So he led the other person into a rugged alley.

"Hey, Senior Sister, the road is bumpy, be careful, I'll help you."

Then, the two of them walked back home hand in hand.

I sent her downstairs. She lived in a middle-class residential area, which was much better than Mr. Yuan's place.

"You should go back to school and attend classes first. I will arrange everything for you later." Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I estimate that within half a year at the latest, you will have the opportunity to participate in the filming of a TV series or film."

"Really?" Shishi was very excited.

"We made a promise, would I lie to you?"

"Yeah, junior brother is the best to me!" Liu Shishi smiled sweetly, made clattering footsteps, and trotted back to the apartment building.

[Received thanks from Liu Shishi, dance basics +1! ]

Zhang Yuan stood there for a long time, watching her leaving until she completely disappeared.

"She has helped me, and with the relationship with Mr. Yuan Kuocheng, I will help her more when I have the chance in the future."

"Well, we'll talk about it later."

After returning to the small courtyard, he contacted Zhao Decai and explained to him that a production company was willing to film a TV series with the copyright of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and that a contract would be signed soon.

Fatty Zhao was shocked. He didn't expect that he would find a solution so soon.

After he realized what was happening, he laughed wildly on the phone for more than a minute, because the fat man knew that he was going to make money again.

Now he has devoted himself to the real estate industry, which is the hottest trend of the time. He did not expect that he could continue to make money in the film and television industry without any effort.

Of course he knew very well that all this was brought about by Zhang Yuan, so he immediately said that he would take him to a nightclub to have fun.

Zhang Yuan was not very interested. There were many slutty girls in nightclubs, but no matter how pretty they were, they were not half as pretty as the actresses.

He is now a man who has seen and tasted a lot, and 298 can no longer satisfy his aesthetic taste.

It’s not that you are not good enough, it’s just that my requirements are indeed a bit high!
After greeting Boss Zhao, he called the brothers Zhao Jin and Cao Jianjun.

The agreement with the sugar man included the catering company's terms.

From now on, he will have to pay for all the meals in any drama starring Tang Ren!

To do this, we have to go to Tangren’s base camp, the Yangtze River Delta region, to open a branch, especially the Hengdian Film and Television Base.

We need to reallocate staff and plan for branch stores.

Plus, the catering company had been in operation for nearly a year and had added a lot of staff, so I had to show up, verify my identity, and check the accounts at the same time.

The next day, he got up early and rushed to the Jinjun Catering Company near the Beijing Film Studio.

He did not go into the store directly, but pretended to be a passerby and observed outside the door for a long time.

"it is good!"

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that Cao Jianjun was worthy of being a veteran, as the store adopted the military-style management that he was most familiar with, and everyone was very serious and organized.

Anyway, during the one hour he observed, he didn't see anyone slacking off or playing tricks, and everyone was busy and sweating.

This explains two things.

Being busy means business is good.

It also shows that the management is strict, no one is idle and there are too many people with connections.

Seeing that the “secret visit” was almost over, he stood up and walked into the store.

Just as I was about to go in, I heard a series of hurried footsteps, and a short figure carrying a large basket of potatoes rushed out of the store.

The two are about to collide.

Zhang Yuan had practiced this before, so he quickly tapped his toes, exerted force with his calves, and took a step back.

"How can there be such a reckless employee..."

Before he could finish his complaint, he found that the other party had the same quick reaction as him, exerting force from his waist and dodged him by moving sideways.

"There's a master!" Zhang Yuan could tell at a glance that the other party had practiced!
He immediately followed and stood behind the other person without saying a word.

Seeing the other person stacking the potatoes, he looked at his back carefully and felt that he looked familiar.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" After finishing his work, he turned around and looked at Zhang Yuan cautiously: "You are not planning to cause trouble here, are you?"

Listening to the other party's secondhand Mandarin with a Hebei accent, Zhang Yuan chuckled.

"You don't recognize me?"

This dark and thin little man stared at him with his big eyes with slightly drooping corners, and a hint of alertness revealed on his honest face. He looked straight at him.

"Hey, you don't recognize me, but I recognize you, right?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and crossed his arms: "Hello, Brother Shu."
