Yan Beicheng laughed. “Pressure should be given, but so should compensation. I’m not unreasonable.”
“Alright, leave it to me,” Han Zhuoli said.
“Oh, is Lu Man beside you?” Yan Beicheng asked.
“Nope, she’s at the theater,” came the reply.
It’s summer break currently, and Xu Jiashan was preparing for a new play, so he had contacted Lu Man.
Because of Lu Man’s outstanding performance peviously, he gave her another important role this time.
So Lu Man went to the theater to practice.
“Right, I’ll contact her later,” Yan Beicheng said.
Han Zhuoli then knew Yan Beicheng was approaching Lu Man for issues regarding public relations.
Upon hanging up, Yan Beicheng then called Nan Jingheng.
“What’s up, Brother Yan?” Nan Jingheng had picked up quickly.
Yan Beicheng didn’t bother with courtesies and said straightforwardly, “Did Trubo contact you for publicity?”
“That’s right, we’re still in the talks. Trubo wants a few spots in Nan Yin magazine and its subsidiary magazines, including some of our news media.”
“Have you all signed the deal?” Yan Beicheng questioned.
“No, but we’re inclined to. But they don’t seem satisfied with the price, they think it’s pricey,” Nan Jingheng answered.
Yan Beicheng quickly explained Yan Zhiqing’s incident to Nan Jingheng.
Hearing it, Nan Jingheng slapped the table. “The bunch of idi*ts! How dare they think of harming Zhiqing! They really think we can’t deal with them? A bunch of foreigners, who gave them the confidence?!”
Nan Jingheng fumed, “We have to let them know clearly whose territory they’re on!
“Ha! They think Nan Yin’s too expensive? Now they can only dream of publicizing under Nan Yin no matter how much they offer!”
Yan Beicheng smiled. “Thank you for this.”
“No problem, Bro,” Nan Jingheng said. “We’re all brothers, why so polite?”
“Still, it’s one less business for you.”
“Nonsense.” Nan Jingheng was unbothered. “It’s always others who are clamoring for us. We’ve never been short of business opportunities. There are many others even without Trubo. Many others are queueing for the places Trubo wanted, so there’s no lack.”
“Be that as it may, I still owe you this favor. The more we’re brothers, the more we should remember.”
“Sigh!” Nan Jingheng was resigned.
He’d never suffered any losses every time he helped these brothers of his.
Nan Yin seemed to be on the losing end at first when helping.
But the compensation the brothers gave him at the end always outstripped the original potential profits.
Hence, he wasn’t at a disadvantage.
Yan Beicheng didn’t dial for Lu Man immediately after the call with Nan Jingheng.
Lu Man might still be rehearsing.
So he said to Yan Zhiqing, “You created quite a scene just now. I’m afraid they’d strike first and put you in the wrong.”
“It’s fine.” Yan Zhiqing turned to Mou Danqiong. “Sis Mou, did you take the photos?”
“Yep.” Mou Danqiong passed the phone to her.
Yan Zhiqing showed the pictures to Yan Beicheng.
He looked in surprise at her.
Yan Zhiqing raised her chin proudly. “I’m no fool, Brother. One has to be extra careful when in the entertainment industry. With so many devious people around, it’s too dangerous without a few tricks up your sleeves.”
