So red that everything is black

Chapter 31 Red ([-])

As she walked, Wen Xinlan's palms began to sweat.

Although she had met many bosses before, this was her first time contacting someone of Wei Qingkuan's level, and she didn't know whether he was cold-blooded or down-to-earth.

Arriving downstairs at Menilei's headquarters, Wen Xinlan looked up into the distance.

This is the company with the most top female writers!

Although Wenyuange is the largest and has the largest number of writers, men have always been strong and women have been weak, and the female market is slightly lower than Menglei.

In the final analysis, Meng Lei culture is the ultimate palace that female writers yearn for.

Walking into the lobby, there were three very beautiful ladies standing at the front desk.

After seeing Wen Xinlan, one of them took the initiative to ask, "Hello, is this Miss Wen?"

"it's me."

"this way please!"

With that said, the receptionist led the two of them to the elevator and escorted them to the editor-in-chief's office.

The front desk lady knocked on the door twice, "Mr. Zhai, Miss Wen is here."

Then he bowed his head and said softly: "Miss Wen, Zhai inside is always the editor-in-chief of our Meng Lei Culture."

"Well, thank you!" Wen Xinlan sighed secretly, the young lady is really kind-hearted.

After the receptionist made the introduction, she smiled and left.

Wen Xinlan greeted: "Mr. Zhai, hello!"

"Teacher Guifu is here! Welcome!"

Zhai Siyue is a fat, middle-aged woman with a smooth and shiny bun and an expensive jade bracelet on her wrist.

For some reason, Wen Xinlan always felt that this editor-in-chief was different from the editors she had seen before.

The editors I have interacted with before all have a simple literary atmosphere in their conversations.

Zhai Siyue, on the other hand, is less bookish and more sophisticated and domineering in the workplace.

This Mr. Zhai is more like the iron-fisted manager behind the female star. He has such a grand demeanor that when he meets her, he will bow and call her "Sister Zhai".

Wen Xinlan was secretly glad that she had signed up for Wenyuan Pavilion early, otherwise she would have died without knowing how she would have signed under Zhai Siyue's hand.

"Mr. Zhai, please introduce me. This is my cooperating lawyer, Lawyer Hu." Wen Xinlan extended her arm to lead Hu Zun.

Zhai Siyue laughed inexplicably, "Teacher Guifu is indeed well-deserved. You are the only one in the circle who can have lawyers from Yazhou's Ace Legal Department sign contracts with you every day!"

Hu Zun showed no sign of being annoyed at all, and stretched out his arms to shake hands with grace, "Mr. Zhai, it's a pleasure to meet you, YCEC Hu Zun."

"Zhai Siyue."

After shaking hands, Hu Zun straightened up, "Teacher Guifu is now the spokesperson of Wenyuange APP, so his status is naturally extraordinary. The company attaches great importance to every contract signed by Teacher Guifu during his endorsement period. For Teacher Guifu Providing legal services is my job.”

"That's right. Mr. Mu is also a good tactic. He promoted a wave of APPs with the popularity of Teacher Guifu, and he just threw our colleagues out of the way. By the way, the company's positive image also improved a lot."

"Mr. Zhai is joking. In the entertainment industry, Mr. Zhai is the one who creates gods."

Wen Xinlan listened to the two wearing top hats to each other, and her legs were tired from standing.

Zhai Siyue looked at the clock and called the secretary into the room, "Both of you, please go to the conference room and sit for a while. We can start when Mr. Wei arrives."

"Alright Mr. Zhai."

"You two, please!"

After the secretary led him to the conference room, Meng Lei's chief lawyer Fang Mingtang and his assistant Sui Bo were already in place.

There are two ladies sitting on the same side, namely Bai Ci, the editor-in-chief of Menlei Reading, and Zhu Dan, the head of Menlei Film and Television.

As soon as Sui Bo saw Hu Zun, he provoked: "Hey, Hu Lu? How could a big shot at YCEC headquarters condescend to come to our small company?"

"Sui Lu, long time no see. I didn't expect Sui Lu to come to Meng Lei Gao."

"I've heard that Hu Lu followed internet celebrity writers everywhere to sign contracts. I didn't believe it at first. Today... haha, Wanfeng's small contract worth 8 yuan, you didn't really attend, did you? That's enough for the lawyer's fees ?"

"It is my duty to provide legal support to the company, and Hu is very content with having a salary to draw."

Fang Mingtang glanced at the assistant coldly, and Sui Bo said no more.

Wen Xinlan sat down opposite.The two sides said nothing and waited in silence for half an hour.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and all four people on the opposite side stood up.

Wen Xinlan also quickly stood up.

I saw Zhai Siyue personally bringing a man and a woman in.

The man was wearing a white shirt, a black suit, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a business elite.

The woman was wearing a small fragrant professional skirt, looking like a secretary.

The four of them shouted in unison: "Mr. Wei!"

It turns out that this is Wei Qingkuan.

Wen Xinlan quietly looked at the legendary and mysterious CEO.

I saw that his skin was well maintained, without a trace of wrinkles.

He couldn't tell that he was 33 years old, but he seemed to be about the same age as her.

Although he is not handsome in the traditional sense, Wei Qingkuan has a strong and chilling aura, and his whole body exudes the demeanor of a mature man.

When he walked towards me, he carried a kind of innate nobility in his movements, as well as the fierceness to turn his hands to make clouds and rain.

"Hello, Teacher Guifu!"

Wen Xinlan quickly bent down to shake hands, "Hello, Mr. Wei! I'm sorry for bothering you today."

Her cold fingers touched his warm palm.

Wei Qingkuan's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he gestured to everyone: "Everyone, please take a seat!"

Immediately afterwards, Sui Bo projected the electronic contract on the big screen, and lawyers from both parties negotiated on each contract.

Hu Zun: "I don't think item 27 of paragraph 3 is appropriate. Ms. Guifu is a long-term contracted writer under our company. Her main job is to complete works with a specified number of words for our company. It is not appropriate to provide long-term consulting services to your company."

Sui Bo: "Hu Lu, please don't forget. It was June this year that Teacher Guifu signed a contract with Wenyuan Pavilion. It was five years ago that he published "Barb" and signed the basic contract with our company. Our website Thirty rights and interests including priority cooperation rights are clearly stated in the basic treaty.”

"Sui Lu, you also said it was five years ago. The electronic version of the basic contract signed by our teacher Guifu when he published an article in your company is not your company's current basic contract. I have checked the historical data of the same period. Your company's five-year The previous basic contract only had 28 conventional agreements and did not have the priority mentioned by Sui Law."

"You..." Sui Bo was so angry that he wanted to slam the table.

Fang Mingtang suppressed the assistant and said slowly: "Lawyer Hu is here well prepared."

Hu Zun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Of course, I am fully responsible for Teacher Guifu's contract, so I can't be careless."

Fang Mingtang glanced at Wei Qingkuan and indicated that Sui Bo could give in.

In the next article, Hu Zun once again questioned the publicity issue: "Our teacher Guifu lives in Wencheng and cannot afford to frequent the crew for publicity. I think the 20 guidance interviews of the "Barb" crew are unreasonable. The launch promotion and broadcast Two publicity appearances are enough!”

Sui Bo dissatisfied: "We at Meng Lei have only bought a single copyright in the past. This time we bought out the entire copyright of "Barb" at a high price because we hope to have in-depth cooperation with Teacher Guifu. We also hope to make a series of 20 guidance interviews for Film and television dramas are promoted in advance to build momentum.”

Hu Zun refused to give in: "The 600 million copyright fee offered by your company is indeed generous, but a TV series is filmed in a few months. Our teacher Guifu has limited time and energy and cannot visit the crew every few days. We request a lower price." For three times.”

Wen Xinlan raised her hand timidly: "It doesn't matter if I'm tired, but the time really cannot be guaranteed. Considering that there are still liquidated damages, can we lower the number of times again? I'm afraid I will breach the contract..."

Wei Qingkuan listened to the conversation between the two parties with great interest, his slender fingers casually hanging on the conference table, occasionally moving slightly.

Fang Mingtang said coldly: "At least 6 times. We cooperate with Teacher Guifu because of his influence in the circle. If Teacher Guifu does not cooperate at all, we will not be able to cooperate in depth."

Wen Xinlan signaled to Hu Zun that it was okay, and Hu Zun nodded and continued to negotiate the remaining terms.

When talking about unified publicity on the Breeze platform, Sui Bo sneered: "I heard that Wenyuan Pavilion will also control writers' social accounts. Can Teacher Guifu still use his own account? Do we still have to sign a contract with Wenyuan Pavilion?" Social supplementary treaty?”

“Teacher Guifu’s social account is only managed by Teacher Guifu himself, and our company has never interfered.”

"Really? That's not what other writers say."

Wen Xinlan said: "Really, my account has never been used by the company, and the company has never asked for my account password."

"Teacher Guifu is indeed the daughter of Wenyuan Pavilion, as the rumors say."

Hu Zun interrupted Sui Bo forcefully, "Please do not discuss anything unrelated to the contract."

The moment Fang Mingtang asked his boss for instructions again, Gui Fu caught a glimpse of him.

Although Wei Qingkuan did not say a word during the entire negotiation, he actually led the entire process.
