"I’m just curious," he answered frankly, "just asking."
"Antonio doesn’t come often; he’s quite busy as well. I don’t manage the company much, it’s mostly his arrangements. Now, the company has launched its first major project, a show starring Tian Jiao. However, Tian Jiao wants Liang He to act in it, and Liang He hasn’t confirmed yet. I think it’s a bit difficult for him. If you hope your sister’s dream can come true, then you should give Liang He a lesson and get him to agree to act in our drama."
"What’s in it for me?" Long Yubei, with his distinct black and white eyes, stared at her. "I can make sure he acts, but I won’t do it without a benefit."
"Tian Jiao is your younger sister, isn’t she?"
"So what? Liang He is also my good brother. Forcing a good brother to do something he doesn’t want to do also troubles my heart."
Gu Lili sneered, "Troubled?"
"What benefit do you want? Don’t forget who saved you, and who let you live here with me!"
"Who did I try to die for?" He said as a matter of factly, "Living here is only right."
"It wasn’t me who made you try to die!" Gu Lili slammed the table, "It was your own decision!"
"Let Long Group also invest in this TV series," he said indifferently, "then I’ll convince Liang He to definitely act."
Is this not passing the benefit around?!
"We already have an investment of 140 million."
"Isn’t it better to have more, to make a higher-quality production?" Long Yubei’s eyes brimmed with undisguised emotion, "Would you complain about having too much money?"
How smart is Gu Lili? How could she not know what he was up to?
"Moreover, the success of a show depends not only on the script and production but also on crucial publicity. Although Gu Group has a solid reputation, they aren’t deeply involved in the entertainment circle. Our group, however, has a specialized department for film and television," Long Yubei guided step by step, "If our group invests, needless to say, the promotional effort will be significant, and your chances will also increase. I suppose your small company, just starting, fears that the first project might collapse?"
"How much do you want to invest?"
"How much do you want me to invest?" he counter-questioned.
"50 million," Gu Lili insisted, "I must have the largest share of ownership, Gu Group is also 50 million."
"Fine," his response was cavalier, "even if it were 500 million, I’d give it to you."
Gu Lili’s gaze dimmed, "A 200 million production is already pretty large; with 500 million, I’m really worried about not recouping the costs."
"I actually believe you have the capability."
In the afternoon, Long Yubei was working on his bed, while she was sitting on a yoga mat practicing yoga.
Long Yubei felt somewhat dazed, as if he had returned to the days they lived together in Qin Garden. The rıghtful source is novel~fire~net
Back then, how could he have imagined today’s situation?
"I’ll call Liang over, and you can talk to him too."
"Okay," Gu Lili agreed.
Long Yubei called Liang He, who told him that he definitely wouldn’t come!
However, the fact was, he appeared in front of them half an hour later.
"Da Long, how could you do this to me? It’s so cold outside, don’t you see? Asking me to come to you, why don’t you come to me instead?"
