Chapter 615: Yun Ziqi Comes to Apologize
Jingyou Entertainment.Watching the commotion online, Yun Ziqi remained good-natured as he continued feeding the small fish in the tank. "These people really don't let up, do they?"
"How are you not worried at all?"
A middle-aged man sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette on and off.
"These people have always had short memories. Worrying now is useless. The best thing I can do is ignore it completely, give no answers whatsoever. After a while, no one will remember anyway."
Yun Ziqi withdrew his hand from handling the fish food and sat down across from the middle-aged man with measured composure.
"But it's still affecting the audition progress. I'm afraid Director Chou won't be too happy."
The middle-aged man set down his crossed leg and pushed a pot of tea across the coffee table toward Yun Ziqi.
"The company preparing a production project always takes time. Funding and personnel movements both need proper handling. Even if he's eager to start filming, we can only begin after Spring Festival."
Yun Ziqi picked up the teapot, first pouring a cup for the other man, then one for himself.
"Director Chou isn't an impatient person either. As long as he's willing, everything will be fine."
"That's good then." The middle-aged man picked up his teacup, took a slow, unhurried sip, and finally set it back down. "But this is the last time. The internal split within the company is serious now. Ziqi, there's not much more I, as your uncle, can do for you."
Yun Ziqi nodded, his smile unwavering. "Mm. I've been back this long, and Uncle has already helped me a great deal."
The room fell silent again.
After a moment, Zhang Shao spoke up again. "Speaking of which, how's your father doing lately? Feels like he hasn't been back in years."
Yun Ziqi shook his head helplessly. "Uncle, you know as well as I do. He prefers traveling the world over staying in the country."
A playful expression crossed Zhang Shao's face. Finally, he stood up, patted Yun Ziqi's shoulder with a hint of sympathy, and said, "Strive to advance further with this opportunity. The 'Imperial Enterprise' project—we absolutely must seize it."
What was at stake wasn't just a single role. It involved their future influence within Jingyou Entertainment's decision-making.
This was crucial for everyone.
Yun Ziqi nodded. "Don't worry, Uncle."
Then Zhang Shao stood up and, amid Yun Ziqi's warm farewell, left the room.
Once the man was completely gone, Yun Ziqi's expression turned cold.
He pulled out his phone, staring at the messages on the screen, and took a deep breath.
"Deal with all those paparazzi who've been following me lately. Make sure they stop buzzing around me like a swarm of annoying flies."
"As for who's behind it all? Ding Cheng is too brainless to have pulled this off. It's mostly because of what happened with the production team last time. Xiao He and his agent have their eyes on me."
"Don't bother with that fool Ding Cheng—he'll bring his own bad luck. As for Xiao He's side..."
Yun Ziqi looked out the window.
"I'll handle it."
...
Early in the morning, Liu Rulan received a call from the hotel front desk.
Someone claiming to be Yun Ziqi's assistant had delivered a gift of apology for Xiao He.
Liu Rulan wasn't surprised that Yun Ziqi knew their current address. What she hadn't expected was how forthright he was—after everything that had happened online, he was still willing to send someone over to apologize in person.
"I understand. I'll be right down."
When she arrived at the lobby, Liu Rulan realized it wasn't just an assistant who had come—Yun Ziqi himself was there too.
Yun Ziqi was dressed very low-key, blending in with his assistant without drawing much attention. Many passing guests didn't even recognize him, but Liu Rulan's sharp eyes spotted him immediately.
Seeing this legendary agent, Yun Ziqi's eyes crinkled with a smile. He bowed politely and shook Liu Rulan's hand. "Hello, Manager Liu. This is actually our first time meeting."
"Yes, that's right. But I've dealt with your previous agent a few times before."
Liu Rulan answered with a smile.
Yun Ziqi clearly didn't want to talk about his agent and shifted the subject instead. "Is Teacher Xiao available? I think it might be best to clear things up with him face to face as well."
"He's been very busy lately."
Liu Rulan neither agreed nor disagreed, instead leading Yun Ziqi straight to a private dining room on the top floor for a talk.
Once they were seated, Yun continued, "Back when we were on the 'Snow Ridge Red Journey' set, I left rather abruptly, which might have caused a lot of misunderstandings. It's been a while now, and I've finally found the chance to talk things over properly with you and Teacher Xiao. I hope we can stop these misunderstandings from turning into more conflict."
Liu Rulan raised an eyebrow, her tone cool. "That's an interesting way to put it, Teacher Yun. What misunderstandings could there possibly be between us?"
This wasn't a misunderstanding at all—it was all solid evidence!
Yun Ziqi gave a humble smile. "I know you might still have your reservations, Manager Liu, but I want to make it clear that I've come here with genuine apologies. I hope you'll give me this chance so we can sit down and talk openly."
"As a token of my apology, this is a small gesture."
Yun Ziqi slid a document across the table to Liu Rulan.
Liu Rulan opened it and glanced at its contents. When she realized what it was, she couldn't help but feel a surge of shock.
Just then, a hand reached over her shoulder and picked up the document.
Liu Rulan turned around and saw that it was indeed Xiao He.
Xiao He had gone to the gym in the morning and, upon hearing that Yun Ziqi had arrived, had come straight over instead of returning to his room.
Looking at the transfer document in his hand, Xiao He narrowed his eyes slightly. After a moment of silence, he let out a light chuckle. "Teacher Yun's information network is impressive. I only had a vague intention a few days ago, and today you've delivered the company right to me. I have to say, I'm impressed."
Yes, Yun Ziqi's apology gift was an entire ready-made tech company!
Though it was a small company with just a handful of people, it was already established, had a basic framework, was located in Shanghai, and came with a small amount of equipment and basic office space. Yun Ziqi's gesture was certainly generous.
This gift had hit Xiao He right where it mattered, pinpointing his current core need with precision.
Instead of having to register a company from scratch and build everything from the ground up, he could directly take over an existing tech company. This meant he could get his tech project off the ground much faster and officially finalize the partnership with that drone company to start research and development.
Seeing this document, even Xiao He himself was shocked, let alone Liu Rulan.
"It was my good luck, actually. This company was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. The team inside had basically all been let go, leaving just a shell. I happened to come across it and bought it on a whim," Yun Ziqi explained calmly. "Since the company is useless in my hands anyway, I figured I'd give it to Teacher Xiao as a small token of my sincerity."
Xiao He didn't say anything, just stared at Yun Ziqi with a deep look.
Finding a "clean" company that perfectly fit his needs like this wasn't something you could just stumble upon.
This was far, far more sincere than giving money or gifts.
Yun Ziqi had the capability, and Xiao He had to respect that.
Finally, Xiao He pulled out the chair next to Liu Rulan and sat down, tapping the table lightly. His previously serious expression now carried a hint of a smile. "The earlier incidents were all just misunderstandings anyway. There's no need to talk about apology gifts. But this company really does suit my needs. How about you just name your price?"
With Xiao He's words, the tension in the room instantly eased.
Liu Rulan glanced at Xiao He but didn't offer any opinion, leaving the matter entirely in his hands.
