Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 444: Set up a small party
Next, the two discussed specific strategies. "First of all," Zhang Xiaofei suggested, "we can set up a small gathering or a work dinner or something like that. A more relaxed environment will make it easier to chat."

"Yes, yes!" Lin Ke nodded repeatedly, "Just do as you say!"

Then Zhang Xiaofei added: "But the premise is that I have to get a vaccination with Xie Nan first. After all, suddenly bringing people into the project may catch them off guard."

"No problem." Lin Ke understood very well, "Everything is up to you! As long as I can see Wu Jin and convey my ideas to him."

Zhang Xiaofei took out her phone and swiped the screen while muttering: "Xie Nan, every time I look for him it's like hide and seek."

Lin Ke smiled and said, "If you say that, I'm even more curious. Where does he usually hide?"

"Ah, finally!" Zhang Xiaofei's eyes lit up, "Guoyihua Hotel, he has an event there today."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Lin Ke stood up immediately, "Let's go!"

The two hurried out of the conference room and headed straight to the parking lot. Lin Ke drove and Zhang Xiaofei sat in the passenger seat.

The moment the car started, Zhang Xiaofei couldn't help but ask: "Director Lin, do you really think Wu Jin will agree to participate in our project?"

"I believe it." Lin replied firmly, "As long as we convey our ideas and passion to him to see the potential of "The Wandering Earth", I believe he will not refuse."

The scenery on the road recedes quickly, and time seems to speed up during the relaxed and pleasant conversation. Soon, the two arrived at Guoyihua Hotel.

After getting off the car and walking through the luxurious lobby, Zhang Xiaofei suddenly became nervous: "What if Xie Nan is not free? Or... what if there are other accidents?"

"Don't worry." Lin Ke comforted, "Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. We have done enough homework and you are here to help. Failure is not terrible, the key is that we cannot give up any possibility. "

After entering the elevator, Lin Ke pressed the floor button and the elevator slowly rose. The two looked at each other and could feel the tension of each other's accelerated heartbeats.

"To be honest," Zhang Xiaofei said softly, "I never thought that I would be involved in such a large-scale project."

"Haha," Lin responded with a smile, "Life always surprises us. Who knows? This cooperation may be a new height for your career."

The elevator dinged and the door slowly opened. Lin Ke and Zhang Xiaofei walked out of the elevator and quickly scanned the luxurious hall. At this moment, Lin Ke noticed a familiar figure.

"Look, isn't that Xie Nan?" He said softly to Zhang Xiaofei, pointing to a quiet corner.

Sure enough, there, Xie Nan was sitting around a table with several people in traditional costumes, with an exquisite tea set in front of them. It looked like they were chatting over tea.

"I really didn't expect to meet him on such an occasion." Zhang Xiaofei responded in a low voice, "What should we do now? Go up directly?"

Lin Ke thought for a moment, "Wait, don't worry. Let's observe the situation first."

The two of them found a place to stand quietly, observing Xie Nan and the others as they tasted tea.

Xie Nan seemed to enjoy the process and shared his feelings with the people next to him after each sip of tea. "This Longjing bubble is really good! It has a refreshing fragrance without losing the taste." He said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaofei blinked and whispered to Lin Ke: "I have an idea, just wait here." Lin Ke nodded and watched Zhang Xiaofei walk towards Xie Nan confidently. He couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Xiaofei's courage and wit.

"Hey, isn't this Director Xie? What a coincidence!" Zhang Xiaofei greeted with feigned surprise.

Xie Nan looked up and his smile suddenly brightened, "Oh! Xiaofei! Come and sit quickly." He patted the empty seat next to him.

Zhang Xiaofei walked over gracefully and sat down, "Nan Nan, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Haha, yes. I just have some free time today to enjoy some tea. Why are you here too?" Xie Nan asked curiously.

"Actually," Zhang Xiaofei said with a mysterious look, "I was called here by a friend. He is still waiting for me upstairs."

"Oh? What kind of friend makes you, Xiaofei, have to put down your affairs?" Xie Nan asked half-jokingly.

"Hey, you might not believe it, it's Lin Ke." Zhang Xiaofei deliberately lengthened her tone and observed Xie Nan's reaction.

Sure enough, when the word Lin Ke was mentioned, Xie Nan's expression was slightly startled, "Lin Ke? That director who has been very popular recently?"

"That's right!" Zhang Xiaofei took the opportunity to exaggerate, "He is now one of the top figures in the entertainment industry. And" she paused deliberately, "we are preparing a very important project."

Hearing this, Xie Nan was obviously interested, "Oh? What project can make two stars so suspenseful?"

Zhang Xiaofei secretly glanced at Lin Ke, who was standing quietly in the distance and seemed a little nervous. "If it's convenient." She pretended to think, "Maybe we can find time to talk in detail? After all, it's hard to find the right candidate."

Looking at the scenes and verbal guidance carefully arranged by Zhang Xiaofei, Xie Nan showed interest on his face, "Of course, not to mention that it involves Lin Ke and you, I am even more looking forward to it."

After the conversation between Zhang Xiaofei and Xie Nan ended, Lin Ke came over from a distance. He smiled and extended his hand to Xie Nan, "Hello, nice to see you here."

"Haha, Lin Ke, I heard Xiao Fei mentioned your project." Xie Nan held Lin Ke's hand and responded enthusiastically.

"Really? That's great. In fact, I specifically want to ask you some questions today, and I have a very important request." Lin Ke said, motioning to the waiter to lead the way to the reserved private room.

After entering the private room, the three of them sat down. The atmosphere became slightly more formal. Lin Ke got directly to the point: "Our upcoming filming of "The Wandering Earth" requires a character with depth and charm, and I think Mr. Wu Jin is the most suitable candidate."

Xie Nan nodded to express his understanding, "Hmm, it sounds very challenging."

Lin Ke took out a carefully prepared contract from his briefcase, "This is the draft contract we prepared for Mr. Wu Jin. Of course, we have done a lot of work before this to ensure that the role is a good match for him."

Xie Nan took the contract and began to look at it carefully. "Hehe, it seems you have put in a lot of effort."

"That's right!" Lin Ke said with a smile, "We believe that Wu Jin's joining will bring a qualitative leap to the film. Moreover, "The Wandering Earth" will also become a new benchmark."

"But you know, right?" Xie Nan looked up at Lin Ke, "Wu Jin is not so easy to convince people involved in the project."
