Chapter 72 A New Money Tree
Chapter 72 A New Money Tree
Jiang Mingfei leaned back lazily in her chair, slightly raised her eyes, and uttered her classic line: "Zhang Yu, do you know why I'm looking for you?"
This is probably the most terrifying sentence in the world.
The fact that these words came from a leader doubled the terror.
They'll talk to you about something, but won't say what it is, leaving you to figure it out yourself first.
When faced with such a question, most people with a guilty conscience would probably start frantically recalling their past: What did I do wrong? What secrets were exposed?
If there are too many things to hide, one might have to weigh the pros and cons in their mind, struggling with which one to confess, or simply choose to remain silent, hoping to get away with it by chance.
Fortunately, Zhang Yu is an upright person who has always acted with integrity and has nothing to hide.
Having spent many years navigating the workplace, he has long since become an extremely intelligent and experienced veteran.
Your boss will ask you this question.
If they're not trying to give you a warning, they're considering promoting you.
Judging from the manner of the meeting between Jiang Mingfei and Bai Li, Zhang Yu had a general idea that it was most likely the latter.
A thoughtful glint flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes. After a brief silence, he spoke slowly, his voice deep and magnetic, each word clear and steady, understated yet refined:
"Are there any new work plans?"
Jiang Mingfei's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, and she nodded slightly: "You guessed quite accurately. President Bai has a new job opportunity for you. You can listen to what she has to say and think about whether you want to accept it."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu turned his gaze to Bai Li.
Although he was filming, he had heard more or less about Bai Li's series of big moves.
The group broadcast that went viral across the internet, and the highly anticipated filming project of "Asking Immortals".
Bai Li sat up slightly and began to concisely and clearly state her conditions.
Customized training, top-tier resource allocation, guaranteed fashion resources, personal image building and promotion, and professional management team support...
Bai Li dislikes roundabout approaches and detours, preferring to directly state the various resources she can provide.
I want you. If you are willing to come, then come.
Upon hearing the conditions offered by Bai Li, Zhang Yu couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
The terms Bai Li offered were incredibly generous; such favorable treatment was the kind of treatment reserved for signing a superstar with millions of fans.
I'm just a nobody, and to be honest, I'm not young anymore. I'm not even worth mentioning in the entertainment industry.
Bai Li keenly noticed Zhang Yu's surprise, looked at him intently, and slowly said, "Zhang Yu, I really think highly of you. I sincerely invite you to join us, which is why I've offered these terms."
Bai Li is quite confident in her SSR entry [Business Insight], as it can provide insights not only at the macro level but also at the individual level.
Bai Li saw enormous commercial value in Zhang Yu.
—Zhang Yu deserves such conditions.
At present, only we can offer such treatment; we are the only ones that can do it.
It all depends on Zhang Yu's own thoughts.
As long as he agrees, I will definitely allocate resources to cultivate him properly.
How could Zhang Yu not be tempted?
Acting is his life's dream.
When Bai Li promised him the opportunity to star in at least one high-quality film or television drama every year, Zhang Yu was already interested.
Not to mention that Bai Li emphasized that the standards for these high-quality film and television dramas are: well-known directors, top-notch production teams, and industry-leading levels.
If it were someone else sitting here today, Zhang Yu would definitely think he was talking big.
But sitting here is Shirai.
Zhang Yu trusted Bai Li's character; such a generous act was indeed in line with her usual style.
Jiang Mingfei was also stunned by what she heard.
I knew Bai Lihao, but I didn't expect her to be this extravagant.
Bai Li hadn't mentioned these conditions to her before, and now that she had, Jiang Mingfei was worried for Zhang Yu. She immediately encouraged her, saying, "Zhang Yu, I told you before that I wouldn't hinder your development. If you feel that Bai Li's side is more suitable for you, you can go there without worry."
Having heard Jiang Mingfei's words, Zhang Yu had no further concerns, and her words were firm and resolute:
"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Bai. I am willing to join you and do my best to live up to your expectations."
"Great!"
Bai Li couldn't hide her excitement and excitedly reached out her hand:
"Then it's settled. Come to my company tomorrow morning to sign the contract."
Zhang Yu also reached out and grasped Bai Li's hand.
The moment their palms touched, a subtle feeling welled up inside them.
Bai Li's hands are too small and too delicate.
His fingers gently closed, almost completely covering Bai Li's hand.
Holding it in your hand feels like touching a smooth dough; you're afraid of breaking it if you squeeze it.
This extremely subtle touch made Zhang Yu pause for a moment. He softened his grip and gently shook hands with his future boss in a way that was hard to describe.
Having experienced countless handshakes in the past, whether in business negotiations or social occasions, he had long been accustomed to them. To him, a handshake was nothing more than a polite, routine physical contact.
But at this moment, Zhang Yu, who was already used to handshakes, felt a little uncomfortable for the first time when he saw the two hands clasped together.
Even though you quickly let go, the sensation seems to linger in your palm.
Zhang Yu moved his fingers.
I felt a little confused.
[Zhang Yu's favorability +15]
[Zhang Yu's Favorability: 60]
The notification sound indicating the increase in favorability startled Bai Li.
After experiencing a series of shocks from the increased favorability, Bai Li admits that she has PTSD and feels nervous whenever she hears the notification sound.
Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Zhang Yu's favorability rating was still within a safe range.
Signing Zhang Yu was definitely the right choice!
Doesn't that mean four of them meet the standard?
Just one more step and Xiao Hao will be able to level up!
Bai Li was very satisfied with the new cash cow she had signed. Having finished discussing the important matter, it was time to talk about another important thing.
She gently tapped the phone screen and opened the photo album.
As soon as the album page is opened, all you see are photos of Sanmao.
Eating, sleeping, various expressions, various postures.
Bai Li looked distressed: "Before coming to this closing banquet, I specifically weighed Sanmao, and this guy weighs 6.9 kilograms!"
Jiang Mingfei leaned closer with a curious look, exclaiming in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Oh my, Sanmao has really gained a lot of weight, he's almost a little ball of flesh!" She even gestured with her finger on Sanmao's belly area on the phone screen.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu pondered for a while and analyzed, "4-6 kilograms is a relatively normal range for Chinese domestic cats. Anything over 7 kilograms may indicate an overweight problem. Sanmao is already close to being overweight, so we need to control it, otherwise it may have health problems. By the way, has Sanmao been spayed/neutered?"
"Not yet." Bai Li shook her head helplessly.
This is the most puzzling point; usually, only spayed/neutered cats experience rapid weight gain.
Zhang Yu nodded gently and comforted him, "I've done some research on cat nutrition and weight management before. I'll compile a special weight-loss food formula and send it to you later. Just feed Sanmao according to this recipe, and it should help him gradually control his weight."
Bai Li expressed her gratitude with delight.
Who knows? Zhang Yu is not only a cash cow, but also a cat expert. He's made a fortune!
With a gentle smile on his face, Zhang Yu patiently gave a few more instructions before leaving.
The two agreed that once Sanmao lost weight, they would find a reliable doctor whom Zhang Yu knew to remove its testicles.
After Zhang Yu left, Jiang Mingfei raised an eyebrow, a sly smile playing on her lips. She leaned slightly against Bai Li and teased her with a gossipy expression, "When did you become so familiar with Teacher Zhang Yu?"
Bai Li immediately clarified: "We're not that close, just members of a cat church! We're simply exchanging cat-raising experiences."
"I believe you." Jiang Mingfei said she believed him, but her slightly narrowed eyes and ambiguous smile clearly revealed her disbelief. She sighed, "The boss is actually my cat friend. Are there any romance novels like that? I'd like to read one for some reason."
"We are legitimate cat lovers!" Bai Li said righteously.
Jiang Mingfei loved teasing Bai Li so much that she covered her mouth and laughed, "Yes, yes, you're too serious, so serious that you're asking to play games together."
Why does that sound so strange?
Bai Li hurriedly corrected, "It's Ga Maomao's egg!"
Jiang Mingfei blinked innocently: "I meant the cat's eggs."
Bai Li's face flushed red: "Alright, stop talking!"

Meanwhile, Sanmao, who was comfortably lying in its little bed at home, suddenly felt a chill run down its spine for no apparent reason.
It raised its head, its round eyes filled with confusion.
Sanmao: ?
