Chapter 457 Her Deaf Boyfriend (40)
"In the business world, there are only interests and no friends. My father taught me this."
Qin's mother looked at Qin Zhen blankly, as if it was the first day she met her daughter.
At this time, it was time for Qin's father to take medicine, and he was called up.
Seeing Qin Zhen standing at the end of the bed, Qin's father snorted.
"You still remember to come back to see your old father."
Qin Zhen curled his lips and said, "Boss Qin, you have to get better soon before you can fight me."
"Humph, you only know how to bully your dad." Father Qin finished drinking the medicine and coughed several times: "Tell me, how did you do it?"
Qin Zhen said: "It's a commercial secret, I can't disclose it."
Qin's father was so angry that he almost threw the pillow behind him at her.
After this experience, Qin's father thought a lot.
The eldest daughter's ability is indeed better than that of the son. In time, her achievements will definitely surpass his.
Qin Zhen noticed that his father had relented, and he lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "It's been four or five years since you 'exiled' me. To be honest, I resigned out of spite."
"You always said you were proud of me, but now you asked me to get married when I thought you were going to train me as your heir."
"You said you admired Wu Zetian, but you never agreed that a daughter could become a 'ruler.'"
"I use the method you taught me to negotiate at the business table. Others say you have an ungrateful person, but I just want to prove to you that I do have the ability. Qin Zhi is no match for me in this regard."
"If you're still thinking about the company, you should know how to choose."
Father Qin was silent.
Qin Zhen's sudden move of family affection caught his father off guard.
He is just old and sick, but his mind is still clear.
Qin Zhen was right. Qin Zhi was not good at managing a company and did not have the patience to learn. Qin's father had sighed countless times in the dead of night, wishing that Qin Zhen was a boy.
But Qin Zhen happened to be a girl.
Father Qin let out a long sigh.
"I'm old."
Society is changing with each passing day, but his thoughts are indeed still stuck in decades ago.
"You are indeed more suitable for the position of manager than Qin Zhi."
"But..." Father Qin raised his eyelids and stared at Qin Zhen sharply: "I have a request."
Qin Zhen remained unmoved: "Go ahead."
"Your brother's shareholding won't be as high as yours, but you can't steal his attention."
Qin Zhen said: "Of course, he is my biological brother."
"Second, regarding your marriage—" Qin's father said, "You can't marry someone from a very high-class family." Even if Qin Zhen has the means and ambition, he must take precautions before it happens.
Qin Zhen smiled slightly: "Okay."
"Third, for the next five years, you must consult with me before making any major decisions in the company."
Qin Zhen's tone remained unchanged: "Okay."
Father Qin nodded.
The father and daughter reached an agreement.
...
Qin's father stepped behind the scenes, and Qin Zhen successfully took office. Qin Zhi almost celebrated with firecrackers. Qin's mother originally had objections but had to compromise.
Qin Zhen became the first female president of the agency. The first thing she did after taking office four months later was to merge the two companies. At this time, the S-level big-budget TV series in which Jiang Weiqing participated had already started filming. When Miao Ziyun found out, she complained again.
"When the King of Hell fights, the little devils suffer, and we are the innocent victims."
The most famous person in the company now is Miao Ziyun. After Jiang Weiqing's TV series is broadcast, her status will probably be raised again. The two are competitors and now they are in the same company, so it is inevitable that there will be a fight between the two sides.
Miao Ziyun has good business skills, but has a bad temper, and soon the matter was brought to Qin Zhen's attention.
After Qin's father found out, he chose to pretend that he knew nothing and wanted to see how Qin Zhen would deal with the problem.
Little did they know that Qin Zhen came prepared and was able to appease Miao Ziyun with the resources of a movie.
"That project is a big production, yes, but to put it bluntly, it's a period idol drama. The period idol drama market is basically saturated now, so whether it can be a big hit is still unknown."
"Besides, you've already played the same type of role once. Even if your acting is good, the audience will get tired of it."
"You're almost forty years old. Actors your age have basically transitioned to filming serious dramas."
"An actor's work speaks for itself. No matter how many big-budget fantasy or ancient dramas you star in, they are not as good as a well-received movie."
Faced with Miao Ziyun's difficulties, Qin Zhen appeared very calm and asked Secretary Yu to hand over the documents in his hand to Miao Ziyun.
"A famous director's film is now up for bid. I've negotiated it for you."
"This kind of thing shouldn't be done by me. It's because I value you that I spent time and energy negotiating with the other party's studio."
Miao Ziyun looked at the woman in front of her who was nearly ten years younger than her and took the document suspiciously.
Miao Ziyun's agent was also watching.
"You know how monopolistic the film industry is. I don't need to explain how valuable this script is, do I?"
Of course Miao Ziyun knew.
There are only a few people in the film industry who can sit at the table, and the more famous the director is, the more say he has.
Newcomers can still make a name for themselves in the TV drama circle, but in the film circle, unless someone deliberately makes them famous, they will be able to play supporting roles all their lives and never get to play the leading role.
Especially now that capital is monopolized, those who can act in famous directors' movies are screened and have their own credentials. How many traffic stars are scrambling to get a spot.
The document in Miao Ziyun's hand was from a well-known director with a good reputation in the industry. His films were highly regarded, but difficult to cast, and he preferred to use his own actors.
Miao Ziyun had never worked with this director before, so Qin Zhen was able to negotiate this deal, which showed that he was really capable.
Miao Ziyun's agent was obviously very happy.
"But don't be happy yet."
Kindness does not command the army, and righteousness does not command wealth. She is in business, not charity, so this opportunity is naturally not given for free.
Qin Zhen took a sip of coffee and said, "You still have to go through the audition process. Whether you can really get the role depends on you."
...
Although Qin's father handed the company over to Qin Zhen, he still left a few spies, one of whom was Secretary Wang, who had followed Qin's father for more than ten years.
Qin Zhen also has his own methods. He secretly wins over the backbone of the company, kicks out some managers who occupy important positions but are just sitting there doing nothing, and promotes and absorbs more talents.
Although Qin's father and Qin Zhen reached an agreement, they were still bargaining privately.
Compared to the busy work life, the relationship status seems much more stable.
Xu Yanqing had to do experiments and write papers, and Qin Zhen had just taken on the position of president and had a lot of things to do, so the two of them only met two or three times a month.
But it does not affect the relationship between the two at all. Both Xu Yanqing and Qin Zhen have become accustomed to this way of getting along.
Qin Zhen would take time to go to school to have dinner with Xu Yanqing, and Xu Yanqing would sometimes come to Qin Zhen's office to give him flowers.
If both of them have time on Sunday afternoons, they will go to the tennis court to play together.
This dull state continued until Xu Yanqing graduated from graduate school.
Qin Zhen originally thought that Xu Yanqing would continue to study for a doctorate, but unexpectedly, Xu Yanqing decided to go out to work.
