The Whole Entertainment Industry Thought I Was an Alpha

Chapter 7 part 1

Shengshi Group.

Lu Wei put down his phone, stared at the screen for two minutes, and suddenly there was a knock on the door. He suddenly realized that during the time he was chatting with “Forget to Love”, he hadn’t finished reading half of the report.

Duan Yang handed him the document: “Except for Li Zhong from Shengshi Entertainment, everyone else has arrived.”

Lu Wei buttoned the top button of his shirt and got up.

In the conference room, Duan Yang helped him pull out the chair at the table. Lu Wei looked down at the people present. The right side of the table was empty. Duan Yang pretended not to know and walked out quickly. Then he came back and lowered his head over Lu Wei’s ear, and said in a not too small voice: “Mr. Li said he’s coming soon.”

Lu Wei didn’t speak, and he had to wait for everyone to arrive before the meeting could start.

The door was opened, Li Zhong came in, smiled casually at Lu Wei, and sat down, as if there was nowhere to put his beer belly, he leaned back: “I’m sorry, I’ve dealt with things on the way.” He and Lu Wei seemed to be familiar with each other, and he opened his mouth without noticing the situation and was still laughing, “Liao Ji, Lin Si’s manager, argued for a long time because of some trivial matters.”

The conference room was silent for a while, and no one smiled because of Li Zhong’s laughter.

Duan Yang cleared his throat and said in a louder voice than before, “Mr. Lu, everyone is here.”

However, Lu Wei answered Li Zhong’s words instead: “How did Mr. Li handle Lin Si’s matters?”

“It’s not a big deal, it’s just because of a magazine cover, I already made a phone call and solved it. These magazines are all about people,” Li Zhong shook his head and said with a smile, “Celebrities, they like to play like big shots when they are popular, and they are also picky when shooting a magazine. “

“Mr. Li has a very good understanding of the magazine industry.” Lu Wei’s voice was so low that he couldn’t hear any compliments in his words.

“No, I have been working under President Lu for so long, so I know a little bit.” Li Zhong said.

Lu Wei raised his chin: “World Fashion is just in its infancy. Since Mr. Li has the experience, go and bring newcomers.” He didn’t wait for Li Zhong’s reaction, “Shengshi Entertainment, Zhang Tingxi will look at it for you first.”

Li Zhong was stunned and stood up directly from his position: “How can this be! Everyone knows that the paper media is in decline, and the first issue of “World Fashion” has sold less than 5,000 copies, making it infamous in the magazine industry! Mr. Lu, don’t make such a joke with me! ”

“I don’t have the habit of joking with people.” Lu Wei raised his eyes, not deliberately threatening, but the indifferent expression on his face was out of place with the panic in the conference room.

“I’ve been in Shengshi Entertainment for more than ten years, and you – saying the word ‘transfer’,” Li Zhong put his hand on the conference table, “Is too much!”

Lu Wei’s dark eyes swept around the conference room, and his line of sight fell on the air: “The documents will be delivered to Shengshi Entertainment tomorrow.”

Duan Yang spoke up cooperatively: “Mr. Lu.”

“The meeting begins.” Lu Wei said.

——

Lin Si was picked up from the bed by Liao Ji.

He hooked his leg over the covers and refused to wake up. He muttered, “What are you doing…it’s not time to start work…”

“If you don’t get up, there would be no need to start work!” Liao Ji yelled into his ear.

“That’s not good…” Lin Si sat on the bed and rubbed his eyes with his hands, his clothes were hanging crookedly on his body, “What are you doing? I’m going to get angry, I tell you.”

Liao Ji pulled up his exposed shoulders and said, “Li Zhong was transferred out from Shengshi Entertainment by Lu Wei.”

“Aren’t you always annoyed with Li Zhong?” Lin Si wrapped himself with the quilt and slowly nodded off to sleep.

Liao Ji sat on the edge of his bed and said worriedly, “The tall one among the short ones [1]. Although Li Zhong is a lapdog [2], he is generally not bad for us.”

Lin Si closed his eyes, then opened them, and sat cross-legged on the bed: “What the hell is going on?”

Liao Ji repeated what happened last night.

The head of Looking magazine contacted Li Zhong, and the two decided that the cover of the opening year would be changed from just Lin Si to Lin Si and Qin Xiao pair, it was said to be in line with the public’s opinion to engage in a Double A pair [3]. Liao Ji had no intention of promoting the CP, refused directly after, and Looking’s response was still unclear.

Liao Ji could only call Li Zhong again. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to convince Li Zhong and as soon as he woke up, Li Zhong was already transferred to “World Fashion”.

“Mr. Lu… I mean Lu Shaoming,” Lin Si asked, “Is it impossible for him to wake up?”

Although no one said the word “death”, from Lu Wei’s attitude, everyone can see that this word is involved with Lu Shaoming and cannot be separated.

“The media reported that Lu Wei went to the hospital to see Lu Shaoming once.” Liao Ji clenched his fists, clapped his palms, and paced around the room, “Lu Wei is different from Lu Shaoming. Shengshi Entertainment was Lu Shaoming’s hard work, but Lu Wei has his own cards. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to pull Li Zhong off his horse[4] with such a single sentence today.”

Lin Si lowered his eyes and thought for a while, but still said something to relieve Liao Ji, “Don’t worry too much, we are not necessarily that important in Lu Wei’s eyes. I’m not Lu Shaoming’s lover, nor Lu Shaoming’s illegitimate son, so he doesn’t have the time to harm me.”

Liao Ji laughed angrily at him, and scolded him in turn: “Maybe in Lu Wei’s eyes, you are his dead father’s lover!”

“Do I seem to have such poor taste?” Lin Si smiled and yawned, “Just change it, I’ll do my job anyway, and when the contract expires by the next year, we’ll leave.”

“When Li Zhong was there at least he was willing to give you a good one [5], now that he has been replaced by Zhang Tingxi, it’s really not possible anymore.”

The small episode in the morning did not affect Lin Si’s mood. From his perspective, what kind of position and resources are secondary[6], his goal was still to make a lot of money, find a very comfortable place in the future, and live the rest of his life leisurely.

It would be even better if he can occasionally hear his own songs and see his own performances on TV.

So when he saw Qin Xiao on the set, he didn’t feel very bored, and just, as usual, he nodded at him.

On the contrary, Qin Xiao avoided him, not knowing what was the reason for his(QX) guilty conscience.

The (magazine) cover was still set and was shot by Lin Si alone. Surprisingly, Liao Ji said that “Twilight” also left the first summer cover to Lin Si.

“Twilight” was a cover for actors, and there was almost no case of inviting singers or traffic idols[7], so when he accepted the invitation of “Twilight”, Liao Ji also repeatedly confirmed whether Lin Si was the one they were inviting.

The other party clearly expressed, and said that “Thinking of You Sixty-six” would be released in the summer, and it was not against the rules of their magazine that Lin Si to be on the cover. Liao Ji wanted to ask who was behind this, but because they were not that familiar with each other he gave up.

“If I have to shoot, shoot ah. Take it, and don’t you want the pie that fell from the sky?” Lin Si was warming up in the lounge when he heard sudden chaos outside.

“…It’s snowing!!”
