Chapter 3969: A Perfect Match (165)
If Hua Jin didn’t take it to heart, that would be fine. If he had taken it to heart and word got back to Qin Zhou, Meng Hao would not be able to bear the consequences.
After all, who was Qin Zhou? The boss of Huanyu. Although Huanyu was a branch of the Shengyu Group and Mu Yazhe was the main legal person of Huanyu, in reality, the real power of Huanyu was already in the hands of Qin Zhou.
The man had already handed over the authority of Huanyu to Qin Zhou. If not for their strong friends.h.i.+p, a huge organization like Huanyu would never have been ceded to him. This meant that Qin Zhou and Mu Yazhe were very close. Most importantly, everyone knew that Mu Yazhe’s wife, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, was an artiste managed by Qin Zhou.
Although Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ hadn’t retired after giving birth to a little princess, she wasn’t very active anymore. Occasionally, she would take on a high-quality female lead role or attend some charity gala. She had basically refused partic.i.p.ation in variety shows, and had pretty much disappeared from the scene.
However, under Qin Zhou’s management, as long as Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ acted in a television drama or movie, its popularity would definitely rise to the top. Whether it was the ratings or the box office, it would be second to none. It would have taken a formidable operation to create such a phenomenon.
Qin Zhou was now mainly in charge of the operations of Huanyu. Hua Jin was about the only active artiste in his charge.
It could be said that all of Qin Zhou’s focus was on Hua Jin. Meng Hao was also certain that offending Hua Jin like this would indirectly offend Qin Zhou. Therefore, the next day, he pondered and tried to apologize to Hua Jin. In the end, Hua Jin did not pay attention to him, even in the presence of Director Gu. Meng Hao was utterly embarra.s.sed.
Director Gu also realized that something was amiss. He was compelled to ask Meng Hao what was going on and if he had offended Hua Jin.
How would Meng Hao possibly admit to that? He was still angry. He’d obviously humbled himself, but the actor hadn’t even given him so much as a glance. It was embarra.s.sing.
Director Gu even added, “Fortunately, you didn’t offend Hua Jin. If you had offended Hua Jin, it would be equivalent to offending Qin Zhou.”
The consequences of offending Qin Zhou went without saying.
Meng Hao could no longer sit back and do nothing. Hence, he thought of an opportunity to have a good chat with Hua Jin and get closer to him. In the end, as he was heading to the rest area, he ran into Qin Zhou, who was visiting the set. He quickly left with his tail between his legs. It wasn’t long before he received a call from the manager.
On the phone, Qin Zhou’s tone was calm. He said he needed to discuss a matter with him.
Meng Hao had a bad feeling. He felt that the meeting with Qin Zhou was more like a trap. Although Meng Hao felt guilty, he mustered his courage and brushed it off. No matter what, since Qin Zhou had asked him out, he had to go.
Qin Zhou had already made the trip anyway..
The two of them had arranged to meet at a café near the film set. As soon as Qin Zhou sat down, Meng Hao’s nerves tensed up!
The man before him was clearly in his thirties, but he still had the appearance of a man in his twenties, even more so than Hua Jin.
Except that, even though he looked young, he had a dignified presence. Even though he was smiling, he instilled a sense of fear in others.
Meng Hao first respectfully offered a cigarette.
Qin Zhou took it from him and set it aside. He then took out his own cigarette case and offered Meng Hao one. The latter took it with trepidation. By the time he had it in his hand, he was drenched in cold sweat. He smiled. “CEO Qin, haha! What did you want to see me regarding?”
