135: Chapter 50 Awful, Evil Woman!

When Kernor and Scott truly lay on the big horse’s bed, they still found it hard to believe.

Cheng Daqi, though, had already lost interest in their thoughts.

At this moment, the former entrepreneurship magnate was trying to pull some necessary high-end resources for his new company.

He planned to involve Zhao Hongjin, Sister Zhao in the game.

Startup companies in the cultural media industry actually have many subcategories, but the biggest category is still content creation.

And content creation, no matter what form it takes, always involves dealing with the bureaucracy.

For big corporations, they play the tune of ‘same but different, close but distant.’

Their interests are too vast and complex, and rashly taking sides can become a fatal weakness.

Take the asphyxiating brother returning to the country next week for example, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; he was crushed by the very tree he relied on.

But Cheng Daqi’s Shanhaiguan Media was still just a small fry, without too much to worry about.

It was very necessary to introduce some resource-oriented figures at the startup stage, which could add buffs to all aspects of the company.

In the future, when it comes to the financing stage, those gods who supported the company at the start could smoothly exit.

This routine was all too familiar to Cheng Daqi, but the gods he knew from his previous life were now just strangers to him.

And the only one in his networking circle who had this potential was Sister Zhao.

So, Sister Zhao must be won over.

Not the kind of winning over that involves getting her into bed, but getting Zhao Hongjin on the company’s shareholder list, serving as a mascot.

When facing difficulties, she could be brought out to lead the way to God.

Yes, to lead the way to God, that’s all.

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong’s main job as he journeyed to Lingshan was to recruit various deities.

That’s the true use of a god, but that’s sufficient.

Shanhaiguan Media’s main business was in China, and Cheng Daqi had no plans to return to the country in the short term.

Sun Dongxin could indeed help him a lot, but constantly freeloading off a big brother was not a good thing either.

Strengthening domestic connections started with getting Sister Zhao on board.

Cheng “Are you asleep?”

Such a start was mundane and unattractive, but it was just right for the relationship between Cheng Daqi and Zhao Hongjin.

It was enough to open up a shallow exchange before bed.

Zhao “Watching a movie, what’s up?”

Sister Zhao really didn’t give any face at all.

Cheng Daqi shifted awkwardly on the bed, feeling that the ambitious vision of inviting Gods for his company had been extinguished by Zhao Hongjin’s cold water.

What’s up?

It seemed like a question, but it actually meant: don’t bother me if it’s nothing, no connections, and preferably don’t even come to me if there is something.

After carefully pondering his previous interactions with Zhao Hongjin, Cheng Daqi was certain that she definitely understood their last conversation.

That was strange, if she understood, she wouldn’t have such an attitude.

Cheng Daqi fell into deep thought.

There were three possibilities.

The first was that she was really busy and replied offhandedly, choosing a somewhat perfunctory but passable response based on their intimacy and relationship.

The second was that she didn’t want Cheng Daqi to have any further deeper relationship with her, so she chose a reply that seemed to continue the conversation but locked the topic.

The third was that she had certain views on Cheng Daqi, and these views might be negative.

Pessimists are always right, optimists reap success.

Cheng Daqi had no choice but to eliminate the second possibility first.

Considering the content of their last conversation and Zhao Hongjin’s character profile, Cheng Daqi now needed to weigh the odds between the first and third possibilities.

If it was the first, he could continue the conversation; if it was the third, he would need to alleviate it during the exchange.

Returning to the response itself, ‘I’m doing XX,’ is a way of sharing the current state, indicating that the person saying this had some desire to share.

And a desire to share, to share something with another person, indicates that the sharer has expectations or cares about the recipient.

As long as this expectation and care exist, then the subsequent ‘What’s up?’ is not that important.

Cheng “I’ve been crazy busy recently, haven’t watched a movie in ages.

The domestic film Forever Enthralled is really popular, heard it’s pretty good.”

What is a master?

A master’s moves seem incredibly simple, without any schemes or rigidity, but behind this effortless facade is the result of daily repetitive practice.

‘I’ve been crazy busy.’ Meaning, because I’ve been busy, I haven’t reached out to you since we last talked.

‘Haven’t watched a movie in ages.’ Repeats the only piece of information from Zhao Hongjin’s previous message.

‘The domestic film Forever Enthralled is really popular.’ This sentence is the soul, the divide between a master and an ordinary soldier that can never be crossed.

Even ordinary soldiers have moments of inspiration, but a master can control their own martial skills, choosing the most suitable move based on the situation they face with precision.

‘Domestic,’ subtly indicating that both of them are in a foreign land, simple in form yet full of tension.

‘Forever Enthralled,’ one of the hottest patriotic movies in 2018, was carefully chosen by Cheng Daqi based on Zhao Hongjin’s backstory and psychological profile.

This wasn’t just casual chat, but a calculated move by Little Deng, methodically hunting a young woman in her prime.

‘Heard it’s pretty good,’ a common conclusion, but it hid the possibility of going to watch it together, whether this possibility would materialize depended on the tug-of-war between the sender and the receiver to follow.

Every word, every character, weighed with care, full of strategical impact yet without any trace of scheming.

That is what makes a master!

As for the effect?

Upon seeing Cheng Daqi’s message, the person receiving it did not reply immediately.
