Chapter 307: 307 Chapter 307: 307 A celebration banquet? For me?

She hurriedly found Wang Hao on WeChat and sent him a message–

Tong Tong: “You’re saying that I was the one who secured the investment?”

Wang Hao: “Ah, right, why?”

Tong Tong: “Why would you give such a big credit to me? It was you who brought in the investment!”

Wang Hao: “What use do I have for the credit? I’m just a scriptwriter… Besides, hasn’t the copyright been sold? The benefit is shared by all who witness it–I get the copyright fee, Teacher Tong gets the credit, win-win, hehe!”

After putting down her phone, Tong Tong lay on the bed and suddenly pursed her lips with a smile.

This Wang Hao, still a warm guy, huh? Upon further thought, he’s actually quite nice…

Tong Tong: “Well… okay then, are you free this afternoon? I’d like to ask you out for a cup of coffee to show my appreciation.”

Wang Hao: “Sure sure, let’s meet in the lobby on the ground floor. For a foodie like me, this is an offer I absolutely can’t refuse, haha!”

Tong Tong: “Great!”

Setting down her phone, Tong Tong smirked–this big foodie!

She had planned to just head downstairs, but then Tong Tong thought for a moment and ended up subconsciously entering the bathroom. She carefully looked at herself in the mirror, then checked her appearance from all sides, touched her hair, and finally, with some hesitation, pulled out the makeup she always carried but hardly ever used…

“Teacher Tong, you’re here?” It was the casually dressed Wang Hao who looked at the carefully dolled-up Teacher Tong Tong with surprise: “Teacher Tong, you look really pretty today!”

Tong Tong had light makeup on her face and was wearing a well-fitting business suit that made her look very dignified and graceful.

At least eighty percent of the men’s gazes in the entire hotel lobby were attracted to her.

“Really?” Tong Tong blushed a little and said with a smile, “You’ve helped me so much, and in the end, you even gave all the credit to me. I have to express my gratitude somehow. As a woman, I should at least not embarrass you when standing by your side, right?”

Wow, I didn’t expect it, Teacher Tong really understands men’s psychology, huh.

“You’re making me feel shy,” Wang Hao looked at his casual attire embarrassingly: “Look at how casually I’m dressed, hehe, no offense, alright?”

“Let’s go,” Tong Tong said with a pursed smile, “I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee.”

Aiyaya, this is the legendary scenario of a man and a woman alone together… Could something happen?!

The two of them then left the hotel together.

The coffee shop Tong Tong mentioned was on a street to the west of the hotel, its exterior decorations were very simple, giving it a somewhat ancient Mediterranean ambiance. Once inside the coffee shop, there were a few people scattered about, all very quiet.

“Let’s sit here,” Tong Tong chose a place to sit first, then looked at Wang Hao and asked, “What would you like to drink?”

Wang Hao scratched his head embarrassedly: “I don’t really understand this stuff, just heard of things like Cappuccino, Blue Mountain, and… whatever Cat Poop Coffee is…”

Tong Tong: “…”

That kind of talk won’t get you a girlfriend, let me tell you!

“Two Cappuccinos,” Tong Tong directly ordered two Cappuccinos, then looked at Wang Hao and said softly, “Thank you. I thought it would be difficult to negotiate this deal today, but I didn’t expect not only would you succeed in doing it, but you also achieved such impressive results.”

Wang Hao scratched his head embarrassedly, “Ah, don’t be so formal. It’s all part of the job. Actually, the main reason is that our crew is strong. Look at our team members, Director Yang, Director Chen, Mr. Li–these are all big names in the industry! Even if I hadn’t gone today, Teacher Tong, you would certainly have been able to handle it, no need to flatter me like this, it’s embarrassing!”

“You, always telling tall tales with a straight face!” Tong Tong said with a pursed smile, “It’s just us here, no need to sweet-talk me.”

“I’m just telling the truth!” Wang Hao scratched his head sheepishly and said, “The thing is, Teacher Tong, you’re so polite that it’s making me feel embarrassed, hehe.”

By then, the Kung Fu coffee had been served. Tong Tong took a sip and said, “Then I’ll express my thanks first and won’t stand on ceremony with you.”

The two exchanged smiles, instantly feeling their relationship had grown much closer.

“Do you have a girlfriend now?” Tong Tong asked casually as if it was of no concern to her: “The girl who came with you…” Before she finished her sentence, Tong Tong regretted it–why ask such a thing, alone here with a man…

“Oh, she’s my agent,” Wang Hao replied cheerfully: “I’m pretty much single at the moment, hehe.”

“Still single?” Tong Tong quickly took a sip of her coffee and then added softly, “Haven’t planned on finding someone?”

“I’ve thought about it,” Wang Hao didn’t read too much into it: “There is someone I’m aiming for, but the goal is a bit too lofty, and I reckon the chances of making it happen are slim.”

“You have someone in mind?” Tong Tong was clearly a bit disappointed but recovered quickly: “Which family’s young lady is so fortunate?”

Which family’s young lady?

Isn’t it obvious? It’s from the Bai family…

“Actually, you probably know the person I like,” Wang Hao said with a smile as he picked up his coffee: “She’s also from our industry.”

“From our industry?!” Tong Tong immediately thought of Lan Zihuang: “Could it possibly be… Miss Lan?”

“No,” Wang Hao shook his head: “Her last name is Bai…”

“Pfft–!!” Tong Tong couldn’t hold it in and spat out her coffee: “You like Miss Ice Princess?!”

Wang Hao: “…”

I mean, are you sure it’s okay to get that excited?

“Well, it’s not surprising,” originally, if Wang Hao had said he liked Zi Huang, Tong Tong might have thought there was a smidgen of possibility. But this guy actually said he liked Miss Ice Princess…

Wang Hao scratched his hair: “Just kidding, hehe.”

“You scoundrel!” Tong Tong quickly took a sip of her coffee to ease the awkwardness: “Scaring me with such a big shot!”

Wang Hao: “…”

Well, I guess that would be hard for anyone to accept…

“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore,” Tong Tong looked at Wang Hao and asked: “That whole IP and pan-entertainment plan you mentioned to Mr. Xu at Giant Dragon Technology, where did you learn all that? I’ve never heard anyone else talk about it.”

“Oh, that’s a story in itself!” Changing the subject, Wang Hao was instantly in his element: “What is pan-entertainment? Put simply, it’s a net, a net for fishing. How so? Let’s say a novelist writes a book, puts it on a website for paid reading… and you are my audience. Good, you don’t pay to read; you go on forums, on various sites for pirated versions. Doesn’t matter! The novel gets turned into a mobile game. You play the game without spending money; you’re a non-RMB player, and while playing, you mock: ‘This trash game also deserves my money?’ It still doesn’t matter! It gets adapted into a web series or TV drama. You’ve read the novel, or you’ve played the game; now that there’s a drama, you’re bound to take a glance, right? There you go, you’ve watched it. That’s OK then, you’ve generated revenue for me! Get it? It’s a net; there will always be one aspect that catches you, the fish!”

“There will always be one aspect that catches you, the fish…” It was as if Tong Tong had an epiphany, her gaze at Wang Hao was like looking at a mountain of gold: “You’re amazing, that makes so much sense!”

A time like this calls for some bragging, anything less would dishonor my knowledge!

“Of course!” Wang Hao was all set to start boasting: “Back in University, I read those books until my nose went old…”

He had been planning on a good boast, but unexpectedly, right at this moment, two people came in from the bar’s entrance, arguing as they walked in, one of them shouting, “I’ve told you how many times that guy is a scammer, but you wouldn’t listen! You still want to send money over there, that’s three thousand bucks! There are better things you could do with that money! Come in, I must make this clear to you today!”

The voice was loud enough that many customers in the cafe turned their heads to look.

“Looks like someone fell for a scam,” Tong Tong frowned: “Sigh, my mom was once tricked by a scammer too, back when I was in University. The scammer claimed I was in trouble at school and told my mom to send money. My mom believed it and sent all my tuition fees…”

Clearly, it was a painful memory for her; Wang Hao could almost feel despondent just from the look on her face!
