Chapter 262 I am actually the illegitimate son of the Zhao family, right? !
After hearing Qin Ming's words, Chen Yan suddenly felt that he was truly a genius...
Chen Yan thought about it carefully.
He had just kidnapped Zhao Xuan's daughter, separated the father and daughter, and then borrowed his manor to hold a banquet...
This means you are really not afraid of being poisoned by the other party and killing yourself!
Of course, Chen Yan also knew that Qin Ming could not be blamed for this. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he had a very good relationship with the Zhao family.
Even Zhao Xuan publicly stated that he was his nephew, so if he wanted to hold a banquet and use his manor, it didn't seem like a big deal.
However, Chen Yan knew his own situation.
So he was a little speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to respond to Qin Ming's genius idea...
The most important reason why Qin Ming can get along in the Qindao circle is his ability to read people's expressions.
So when he saw that Chen Yan didn't seem interested in this proposal, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Of course, there are many problems with using the Zhao family's manor. It's not so appropriate."
"So, if Brother Chen doesn't want to use the Zhao family's manor, I can also go to my sister to discuss whether I can lend out the He family's manor."
After hearing Qin Ming's words, Chen Yan glanced at him and felt that there was a reason why this guy had been so successful in recent years.
However, when he talked about borrowing the He family manor, Chen Yan just listened.
Not to mention whether it can be borrowed, even if it is borrowed, the favor owed will be very large, which is not worth it.
So he thought for a while and said, "Let me think about this first. You should also think about it and see if there are any other options."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Qin Ming quickly said, "Okay, Brother Chen."
After seeing Qin Ming off, Chen Yan began to think about asking Zhao Xuan to borrow the manor...
He didn't think he was really shameless enough to "borrow the manor after kidnapping Zhao Ying". But he suddenly realized... this was a good opportunity to test it.
Ever since the last banquet, Chen Yan has actually been paying attention to Zhao Ying's situation.
After being freed from the control of her family, Zhao Ying resumed her previous happy life, practicing martial arts, studying, and skipping classes every day. She would also stroll around the playground with Yu Qiaoqiao and the three little ones, or go shopping outside.
Looks like an ordinary guy his age.
However, Chen Yan felt that it was not normal...
Because Zhao Xuan's reaction was a bit too calm: he never contacted Zhao Ying.
This is completely inconsistent with his previous attention, love, and even later use of Zhao Ying.
This also made Chen Yan believe once again that Zhao Xuan must have other hidden secrets.
Therefore, Chen Yan had always wanted to try to get in touch with Zhao Xuan: to see if he was a friend or foe, what he thought of Zhao Ying, and how he positioned himself.
Although Chen Yan has a system and is not afraid of Zhao Xuan, it does not mean that he likes to have a potential enemy hiding in the shadows...
Therefore, he wanted to test Zhao Xuan by borrowing the manor for a banquet...
So, that night, Chen Yan took out the business card that Zhao Xuan left him when they first met, and then called Zhao Xuan according to the contact information on it.
“ Beep…beep…”
After a while, the call was connected, and a woman's voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello, who are you?"
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then guessed that it was probably a secretary, housekeeper or something like that. So he said, "I'm Chen Yan. I want to talk to Mr. Zhao Xuan."
After hearing what Chen Yan said, the woman said, "Okay. Please wait a moment."
After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to go and ask for instructions, so it was more than ten seconds later before Chen Yan heard Zhao Xuan's laughing voice.
"Is that Xiao Chen? Are you in trouble? Do you want to ask Uncle Zhao for help?"
On the phone, Zhao Xuan's attitude was still very friendly. He was also very nice to Chen Yan. It was as if the two of them had never had any contradictions or conflicts.
Chen Yan didn't know what Zhao Xuan was up to, so he thought for a moment and said tentatively, "I do have something I want to ask Uncle Zhao for help with. I want to hold a banquet next week, and I wonder if Uncle Zhao would be convenient to lend me the manor for a day."
Chen Yan's proposal, "Lend me your house to live in", sounds a bit too much. But Zhao Xuan agreed with a smile, "It's just a manor. No problem. I'll pass on this matter later."
"Once you have confirmed the time for the banquet, call this number. At that time, the butler will work with you to decorate the manor and the banquet hall."
Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Chen Yan's brows couldn't help but frown.
"Did you really borrow it?"
"It's that simple?!"
Chen Yan was a little bit unbelievable.
Because he felt that even if he went to Lao Chen to borrow a house, Lao Chen would ask him all kinds of questions, including what he was going to do, and might even kick him out with a broom if his reasons were not sufficient.
But Zhao Xuan agreed without even asking.
Isn’t this too good of an attitude toward yourself?
Chen Yan was a little doubtful for a moment: Did he kidnap Zhao Ying?
Shouldn’t Zhao Ying, who ran away from home, be sent back?
Eh...after being treated like this by him, I'm beginning to doubt my life.
Chen Yan thought about it and continued to ask tentatively, "Uncle Zhao, what about the expenses...?"
Zhao Xuan on the other end of the phone waved his hand and said cheerfully, "What's the cost? I'll just lend you the manor, why would I charge you any money? I'll give it to you for free!"
Chen Yan began to doubt... Was Zhao Xuan really planning to poison himself at the banquet? !
He asked tentatively, "What about catering?"
At this point, Zhao Xuan hesitated for a moment, and said earnestly, "Xiao Chen, you have to figure out the catering yourself. I don't have that many chefs to help you organize the banquet."
"Besides, I guess you're not comfortable with using my people for the banquet, right?"
"So, I will give my employees a few days off during the two days you hold the banquet. At that time, except for a butler who will stay to help you solve the problem, everyone else will withdraw from the manor."
Chen Yan: …
This... this treatment? !
Could it be that I am the illegitimate son of the Zhao family?!
Lao Chen, are you being labeled?!
Finally, after chatting with Zhao Xuan about the details of the banquet, Chen Yan finally believed it: Zhao Xuan really intended to lend the manor to him, and it was a real intention without any conspiracy or intrigue.
But Chen Yan always felt... a vague sense of foreboding.
What is the most expensive thing?
It's free stuff.
Zhao Xuan really didn't ask for a penny for his help this time, and he gave the greatest support, but... Chen Yan must remember this kindness.
If he wants my help with something at that time, would I have the nerve to refuse?
With a long sigh, Chen Yan realized that he still underestimated these big men who had been in the business world for decades.
However, no matter what, he had tested Zhao Xuan's attitude and got an advantage for nothing .
Chen Yan felt that it was meaningless to worry about the future now. It would be better to rely on Zhao Xuan's support to successfully promote Lu Man, continue to double his money, and then drive his own development speed.
When he develops to the level that even the Zhao Group looks up to him, then... these favors may be just a matter of a word from him.
In the next few days, Lu Man’s celebration banquet began to be prepared in full swing.
Sister Meili also began to release the news to the outside world little by little.
After promoting topics related to Lu Man and fashion for two days, she shifted her focus to promoting Love Is Not Blind.
Although the film has been withdrawn from theaters, Lu Man still relies on it to win awards. Keeping it popular will also be very helpful in winning awards.
Moreover, if you continue to promote a person, it will easily have the opposite effect and ruin his or her popularity.
But promoting a work doesn't have so many drawbacks, especially if it's a good work.
And "23 Days of Broken Love" is certainly a good work.
Therefore, after several million dollars of publicity, Love Is Not Blind and Lu Man became popular again, which also brought the film and Lu Man back into the public and the industry's attention.
Even the first-line actors in the circle are a little envious of Lu Man now.
After all, everyone knows how much financial support this kind of publicity requires.
Although celebrities make a lot of money, no matter how much they make, it is impossible for them to spend millions in a day.
This is no longer about making money, but about wasting money.
In the eyes of people in the industry, Chen Yan's behavior is completely against business logic.
Just as the topic of Lu Man and Love Is Not Blind was getting hotter, Meilijie also released the news at the right time, saying that Chenlu Pictures planned to hold a grand celebration banquet at the Haitian Yise Manor in Qindao.
Celebrating the establishment of Morning Dew Pictures, and the first movie "Love Is Not Blind" won a good box office of 600 million!
This news hit the hearts of everyone who was paying attention to this matter like a bombshell.
A manor with sea and sky!
Celebration party!
In fact, celebration banquets are not very popular in the domestic entertainment industry, because after filming a movie, the crew members usually go their separate ways. Moreover, the stars and the production and distribution companies are usually not from the same company.
Most stars don’t get any share of the film profits, so they have no motivation to hold celebration parties.
The production and distribution companies didn't need fame, so they just celebrated internally.
So, in an industry that has no tradition of celebration banquets, when a celebration banquet is suddenly held, everyone immediately understands that this is actually a display of energy and a demonstration!
Show your energy to the entire entertainment and film and television circles.
This is a protest to the Xu brothers and Director Zhang who wanted to ban Chenlu Pictures and Lu Man before!
Generally speaking, when encountering such a thing, everyone in the industry will stay out of it, not get involved, and not add fuel to the fire. They just watch from the sidelines.
But... when they saw the name of the manor [Sea and Sky], they had to start to carefully consider their choice...
