Chapter 1208: Invite someone to watch a movie at 1207

After entering the office, Zhou Xing locked the door. Xiao Mo immediately asked me, “President Zhou, what does this mean?”

Zhou Xing smiled, “Assistant Xiao, don’t misunderstand. I closed the door for peace and quiet. If employees come and go, it will affect our conversation.”

Zhuang Liu nodded, “Indeed, I also don’t like having extra people around when I’m talking.”

Zhou Xing personally poured Zhuang Liu a cup of tea before saying, “The conditions here are a bit simple; I hope Mr. Zhuang won’t mind.”

After Zhuang Liu took the tea, I placed it to the side without drinking it. “I’m not here to drink tea. I have some questions for you, and I hope President Zhou will answer me truthfully. Otherwise, I’m not sure what might happen next.”

Zhou Xing sat down at his own desk and asked very calmly, “Mr. Zhuang, what would you like me to answer?”

Xiao Mo thought Zhuang Liu would ask about Liang Lu, but instead of bringing her up, he asked Zhou Xing about his new movie.

“President Zhou, you’ve made a new movie, haven’t you?” Zhuang Liu asked. “I heard your investment in that movie was quite substantial. How are the returns going?”

The smile froze on Zhou Xing’s face, and with a fierce look at Zhuang Liu, he asked, “Is Mr. Zhuang here to mock me on purpose?”

Zhuang Liu revealed a puzzled expression, “How could I possibly come here to mock President Zhou? I just heard that the promotion for President Zhou’s new movie was extensive and that a great deal of money was spent. The revenues must be quite good, right?”

Zhou Xing’s hands gripped the edge of the desk, then he said through gritted teeth, “The revenues are decent, of course. My movie doesn’t need Mr. Zhuang’s concern.”

Zhuang Liu just had to talk about the movie, “I have a friend, whom I’m sure President Zhou also knows, the new director Liang Lu who has gained fame in recent years. She also has a movie released recently, and it seems like the release date was the same as President Zhou’s.”

“Now that’s quite a coincidence.” Zhou Xing was about to explode; the last name he wanted to hear was Liang Lu’s. How could some girl’s lousy flick surpass his meticulously crafted movie?

After seeing Zhou Xing’s pained expression, Zhuang Liu’s lips curled up slightly, “I plan to invite the entire company to watch Liang Lu’s movie.”

Zhou Xing was startled and asked, “Mr. Zhuang wants to take the company to see a movie? Just the people from headquarters?” At this moment, his mind was a bit messy and he didn’t realize anything wrong with what Zhuang Liu said.

Zhuang Liu smiled and replied, “Of course not. When I say the whole company, I mean all employees under the Zhuang family’s name, from the branch managers to the security guards at the door, even their family members. They can all go see the movie. This movie is very inspirational, perfect for the whole family to watch together.”

Xiao Mo said from the side, “There are a lot of employees in the companies under the Zhuang family. Including all the branch employees, that’s at least seventy to eighty thousand people. If each person buys a ticket, that’s over two million. With their families, it could be upwards of ten million.”

Zhuang Liu said lightly, “Just a few tens of millions, it’s not a lot of money. I will arrange this when I return.”

Xiao Mo then said, “I think we should discuss this with Miss Tan Rou. The Tao family’s company also has many employees. We could buy tickets together and perhaps get a discount.”

Zhou Xing’s mind was racing. He recalculated based on the figures Xiao Mo had just mentioned. If you added the Zhuang family’s employees to the Tao family’s employees, just buying tickets would cost tens of millions.

Damn it, why should Liang Lu’s lousy movie get such high box office revenues? He couldn’t accept it. He had poured so much effort into his own movie, but why didn’t anyone want to watch it?

“President Zhou, what do you think of my idea?” Zhuang Liu said after he finished, asking Zhou Xing for his opinion, “Have you watched that movie? If you haven’t, I can get you a VIP family ticket from Liang Lu. You could also bring your family to see it. Every movie has its merits; you should go to the cinema more often to watch other people’s movies and learn from their strengths.”

Zhou Xing couldn’t hold back anymore. He angrily stood up from his seat and yelled, “Enough, don’t say another word!”

Zhuang Liu ignored him, continuing with the words that angered him, “President Zhou, do you want to go see someone else’s movie?”
