"Jinzhu, when you get rich, don't forget your old friends. You can come to me for any small role. You don't have to choose."

"Brother Xie, I lost several million last month and I can't go back home. Boss Xie, please help me make some money with my brothers. How about letting me invest some of my personal money in "Black Dragon 3"? Any amount will do!"

"Senior Brother, I passed the audition using the method you taught in class! However, I don't know any agent or anything like that right now..."

The lottery session was over and the annual meeting was over. The guests had no reason to stay any longer, so they prepared to leave in twos and threes.

But instead of walking directly from the main entrance, you have to walk up to Xie Jinzhu to say a few words, exchange greetings, or wish him good luck.

In everyone's opinion, tonight is a sign that Xie Jinzhu's career will become bigger and stronger.

This annual meeting brings together Xing Yan's acting training class, Xie Jinzhu's agency studio, and Guan Chen's film and television production company. The combination of the three is a complete actor supply chain, self-produced, sold and operated.

The box office of two blockbuster movies, the co-production opportunity of the "Black Dragon" series of movies, plus tonight's [Best Newcomer Award]... Because of Guan Chen's talent, the bright future of this "actor factory" has become more and more beautiful.

Becoming more and more credible.

No one thought that Xie Jinzhu, who had been cheated for ten years and was famous for his stupidity, would have such vision and ambition. If he hadn't signed Guan Chen, Xie Jinzhu would probably still be hosting weddings in the countryside.

But everyone was envious, but they also felt that this was God's reward for Xie Jinzhu's hard work. Guan Chen stuck to his loyalty and refused to change jobs. Many well-known agents came to recruit him but failed, which made everyone feel relieved that Vanity Fair was still there after all.

There is truth, goodness and beauty.

"Thank you, thank you... OK, I will definitely cooperate if I have the chance..." Xie Jinzhu, wearing sunglasses, responded to the guests slightly stiffly.

Everyone just thought that Xie Jinzhu had become dull after drinking, or that he was still unaccustomed to his clumsiness after suddenly gaining momentum.

Some smart people wanted to take the opportunity to get Xie Jinzhu to agree to some agreement. Unfortunately, Xie Jinzhu pretended not to hear clearly and mumbled over, making people think he was pretending to be drunk.

After talking to Xie Jinzhu, someone found that he still couldn't leave.

"Come on, come on, please fill in your mobile phone number and address." Guan Chen blocked the door with pieces of paper, greeting the guests who were about to leave: "During the Chinese New Year, we will send you some gifts. For example

New mobile phones, laptops, etc.”

"Wow~" Everyone marveled, very excited, and willing to spend half a minute filling in their own information before leaving.

Everyone was so happy that no one noticed that Manager Qian, who was supposed to accompany the guests to see them off, disappeared.

The photographers of "Living Alone" who were supposed to record this scene were also empty and missing their equipment.

"The gifts you give will also have hidden surprises, so when you fill in your address, be sure not to make a mistake."

Guan Chen looked at everyone present with a smile, especially those who were thinking about whether to leave their addresses.

Those eyes seemed to see into their hearts.

…

Thirty minutes ago, Xie Jinzhu almost went to jail for drunk driving, and his nascent career was almost ruined.

As a public figure, Xie Jinzhu was originally afraid of the police, and he became even more guilty after drinking. The traffic police questioned him with a serious face.

Fortunately, Guan Chen has rich experience in dealing with the police.

Guan Chen is like those lawyers who defend drug lords in the United States. He took out his mobile phone to record the video, asked the traffic policeman to see his ID, and then asked the traffic policeman to shout the police signal into the camera. After this scene was over, Guan Chen

Pressing Xie Jinzhu's shoulder, he said that Xie Jinzhu only got in the car to turn on the air conditioner and warm up the engine, and had no intention of driving drunk.

Xie Jinzhu's mind was dull after drinking, but he did not completely lose his IQ. Under Guan Chen's reminder, he quickly said yes, yes, yes.

The middle-aged traffic policeman gritted his teeth and firmly believed that Xie Jinzhu had moved the car. After testing Xie Jinzhu's alcohol concentration, he planned to send him to the detention center so that he could report any problems there.

Guan Chen refused. His rich criminal experience told him that tonight was definitely a planned frame-up. With the opponent's prepared attitude, he must have prepared with multiple hands. I'm afraid Xie Jinzhu hasn't entered the detention center yet.

The door was crowded with reporters.

The law enforcement recorders cannot be checked on the spot, and you must file a lawsuit or apply to retrieve them. If you wait for the entire process to be completed, if you deliberately delay it, it will take who knows how long. However, until the results come out, they can't explain anything. In the end, they will wait until the truth

When I came out, negative rumors had already spread all over the sky.

The middle-aged traffic policeman was too lazy to talk nonsense and ordered Xie Jinzhu to get in the car quickly and take him to the detention center. Guan Chen suddenly waved his hand, startling the traffic policeman. The traffic policeman then became excited, thinking that Guan Chen was going to do something illegal, but he saw,

A few frail people jumped out not far away, carrying cameras and trotting over. The middle-aged traffic policeman’s eyelids twitched, feeling something bad was going on.

Guan Chen asked several people in "Living Alone" if they had taken pictures of what they had just done.

Director Zhou nodded, then put down the camera and played back the scene. They had kept the camera pointed at Guan Chen all night. Just now, Xie Jinzhu staggered out, and Guan Chen seemed uneasy and followed him out. The program team followed closely behind him.

Finally, I unexpectedly photographed the entire process.

In the footage played back by the camera, Xie Jinzhu's car did not move.

Now there is no need to wait for the law enforcement recorder to produce results. Xie Jinzhu takes the lead and Guan Chen takes the back step to post the video online to reveal the truth.

Listening to Guan Chen's righteous and awe-inspiring speech in front of the camera about his belief in the law, the middle-aged traffic policeman had no choice but to protect himself first. After a few gentle words of warning, the middle-aged traffic policeman was ready to leave.

Xie Jinzhu instinctively wanted to stop the traffic policeman from leaving, but Guan Chen quickly stopped Xie Jinzhu from attacking the policeman, saying that he would just leave the matter to him.

…

"The waiter said that someone called the front desk and told him to move the car.

“I looked at the surveillance camera at the entrance of the hotel, and there was a man wearing a black hat and a mask, pushing an electric car over. He was wearing gloves.

"I called the police. The owner of the electric car said he lost it in the east of the city last week."

Xing Yun sat down and after reporting the investigation results one after another, he was silent for a moment and said to Guan Chen: "...It's the same as what you said."

"He's professional." Guan Chen nodded as expected.

After the guests had dispersed, Xie Jinzhu, Manager Qian, Guan Chen and Xing Yun were still sitting in the restaurant hall where cups and plates were scattered.

Director Zhou and the others were also there, sitting at a table far away, engrossed in their food. They were not curious about what Guan Chen and the others were going to talk about, and they didn’t dare to be curious. The reason why they didn’t leave was because the equipment was requisitioned. Compared to the restaurant

For surveillance, their cameras were pointed at Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu all night long. The picture quality was clearer and easier to review and analyze.

"We are living our lives well, why did we get into this kind of thing?" Xie Jinzhu was already mostly awake from the wine at this time, but he still felt that what he encountered was unreal.

He has always been kind to others, and often suffers the consequences silently. To say who he really offends, it is the people who have been trying to acquire or invest in their studio in the past few months. Among those people, there are some very powerful people.

Xie Jinzhu firmly refused despite his background and power.

Xie Jinzhu said: "I thought they would suppress us commercially, but I didn't expect they would be so dirty."

"The reason why the poor are poor is not because they are lazy, but because they make money so cleanly." Guan Chen curled his lips: "Don't think of the rich as being too kind."

"Alas." Xie Jinzhu sighed and said to Guan Chen, "I didn't protect you well."

"Haha." Guan Chen felt that Xie Jinzhu really overestimated his abilities. Even a traffic policeman could scare the shit out of him, and he was so brazen about protecting people. However, Xie Jinzhu's loyalty was worthy of recognition, so Guan Chen did not continue to attack him.

Guan Chen asked Manager Qian: "Who are the people who have toasted to Senior Brother before?"

"Basically everyone came to toast." Manager Qian felt that Guan Chen's question was meaningless. Xie Jinzhu is the host of tonight's banquet. Everyone came to toast and say a few words. It was normal. There was no so-called "internal response".

Guan Chen didn't think so.

Anyone who has planned a criminal action knows that chaos arises spontaneously, so there will always be surprises during execution. What the planner can do is to prepare as many alternative plans as possible.

Just like [Hofstadter's Law] says - things always take longer than expected. Even if Hofstadter's Law is taken into account in expectations - there are always unexpected surprises that make it impossible to prepare in advance.

Moreover, Guan Chen has planned many criminal actions, so he suspects that the trap targeting them tonight is not just drunk driving.

Guan Chen could think of a few casually, such as using LSD, a new drug that looks like a sticker, to stick it on Xie Jinzhu's skin while toasting, causing him to hallucinate.

Another example is using a beauty trap to seduce Xie Jinzhu, and when the two of them are happy, they turn around and accuse Xie Jinzhu of rape.

Any plan requires people to execute it, so there must be an internal agent in the field, and this internal agent may be one of their original people.

But Guan Chen's train of thought took two turns and asked Manager Qian: "Who are the people toasting me?"

"you?"

Guan Chen nodded: "If they have evidence of my crime but don't make it public, wouldn't it be easier to convict me?"

Guan Chen suspected that if he hadn't refused all the toasts at the wine table, he might have been the one who asked the waiter to tell the car to be moved.

When he was poaching talents, it was not that he had never thought of this trick - using leverage to blackmail the other party into changing jobs. In other words, Guan Chen had been a good person in his life, and finally gave up this illegal method.

Now that the other party has obviously thought of it together with him, Guan Chen can basically know the other party's approach as long as he takes out the illegal plan and perfects it.

On the other side, Manager Qian was already dragging out a few screenshots on the computer that was reading the camera's memory card, "This, this, and this... I've all toasted you, and you clinked glasses with them with milk."

Guan Chen continued to screen: "How many women are there?"

"Thirteen." Manager Qian asked doubtfully: "Why did you single out the women? How do you know it's a woman?"

"Women and children tend to make targets relax their vigilance. I know all the children, so I asked the women." Guan Chen sounded like an expert.

"……Fine."

"How many unfamiliar faces are there?"

"Ten." Manager Qian piled ten screenshots on the screen.

Guan Chen stared at their faces and thought for a while, then lowered his head and picked out four pieces of paper from a pile of papers, with the names, mobile phone numbers and addresses of the four women written on them respectively. "These four people just filled in their addresses.

I was more hesitant at times," Guan Chen recalled.

"Have you remembered everyone's information?" Xie Jinzhu was very surprised.

"I already know the information of the staff; those crosstalk actors and hosts have their information registered in the studio." Guan Chen said: "So I only need to remember the names of these strangers."

Xie Jinzhu was still amazed. At today's annual meeting, employees could bring their families and actors could bring their friends. Almost half of the entire place were strangers. And Guan Chen actually remembered them all.
