Chapter 991: Hiroki
Chapter 991 Choosing Wood
A good bird chooses wood.
Chu Chen once again felt the mysterious breath of fate. He knew that the opportunity had come, and it was within his reach. He must grasp it firmly...must grasp it firmly! If this happens, he will soar into the sky and become a founding minister under the young emperor! In the future, status, power, wealth and splendor will be at your fingertips.
He was agitated in his heart and knew that he had to make a bet quickly. He immediately found the director and told him that there was a way to keep the heroine from quitting acting. However, I hope that after this matter is resolved, the director can be asked to introduce him to Pei Ziheng.
The director looked at him thoughtfully for a long time: "I hope your ability is worthy of your ambition."
The young man’s eyes are firm and ambitious. In fact, Chu Chen was not completely sure at that time. He just understood that the opportunity was fleeting and he had to seize it at all costs. After getting the director's promise, he thought hard and hired the best private detective with a loan shark to investigate everything about the heroine.
Finally, he seized on her unknown weakness, coerced and lured her, and used all possible means.
On the twenty-fourth day of the strike, the heroine gave in and returned to the set. The crew worked overtime to catch up with the progress, and at the closing banquet, the director introduced Chu Chen to Pei Ziheng as promised.
That was the first time he saw Pei Ziheng. The young emperor was indeed as rumored, young and mature, and his emotions and anger were indistinguishable. Late at night, with the strings playing like hooks, in the small study room exuding the faint fragrance of sandalwood, Pei Ziheng watched him express his loyalty and express his vision for the future of this huge country with incomprehensible emotions.
At dawn, Chu Chen finished speaking and stopped uneasily.
The first smile since the meeting appeared in Pei Ziheng's eyes: "I heard that you owed a lot of loan sharks for investigating the heroine. I will ask someone to pay it back. The personnel department will prepare a contract and you will join the job tomorrow."
Chu Chen was overjoyed and officially joined Pei Ziheng's command.
That year, he was seventeen years old and Pei Ziheng was sixteen years old. Two ambitious young people of similar age were determined to make a big career, both for themselves and for the heavy responsibility on their shoulders.
Pei Ziheng transferred him to the agency department, saying that for an ambitious and shrewd person like him, being a recorder or even a director would be a waste of talent. Pei Ziheng has always been precise when it comes to deploying troops and generals. As expected, an agent is the most suitable position for Chu Chen. He can discover artists, poach people, suppress opponents, and grab announcements...
Chu Chen is like a fish in water, killing everyone. In just two years, he has conquered a large territory for him. When the Emperor's Agency is mentioned, everyone in the entertainment industry shuns it, and no one dares to sharpen his edge.
Pei Ziheng gave him a high enough position and authority, as well as generous rewards.
He realized his wish when he left home, bought back the old house that had to be sold, repainted and decorated it, and equipped it with a complete set of mahogany furniture. Later, wearing a suit and leather tie, driving an Audi, and taking several assistants with him, he took his mother home in all splendor.
The neighbors all came out to look, and the disdain and sympathy in their eyes were replaced by curiosity and envy.
Chu Chen hired a professionally trained nanny to take care of his mother. Watching her happily and proudly chatting with the residents and handing out small gifts to everyone, accompanied by the nanny, his heart overflowed with happiness. .
only…
My father is still in prison, his injustice has not been vindicated, and the murderers who framed him are still at large.
He knew he had to work harder and climb to a higher place.
In the past two years, his boss Pei Ziheng has secured half of the empire, and his majesty is unshakable. Those who once opposed the boss, even if there are still a few here and there, they have lost their jobs and surrendered.
Chuchen knew that he had not followed the wrong person. The opportunity he had seized with all his might when he was young had brought him rich rewards. But he is not satisfied with all this. He does not want to be just a founding minister, he must become his true confidant. Only in that way can we stand at a higher place and gain greater benefits.
And this requires an opportunity. On the occasion of Pei Ziheng's eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, Chu Chen worked hard and gave him a great gift - poaching a big corner of his competitor with lightning power, which directly led to the collapse of the other company and its annexation by the emperor.
Pei Ziheng was very satisfied and asked him what reward he wanted.
Chuchen has followed him for two years and has long known that his rewards are nothing more than money and power, with nothing new. This time, Chu Chen didn't ask for anything, and only asked him to do a favor - he told him the tragic experience of his parents, told him that his father was still in prison and was still unjust, and please try to get his father acquitted and let him be freed. Those who bullied and trampled on the Chu family suffered retribution.
Pei Ziheng tapped the table twice with his fingers and said, "Okay."
Chuchen felt relieved, firstly because his father was saved and his great revenge was avenged; secondly, because he finally found the right time to expose his handle and weakness—his family—in front of his boss.
He loves them and values feelings.
No one dares to really reuse a perfect person.
As he wished, his father's case was soon reopened, the truth came to light, and his father, who had been tortured to the point of becoming gray-haired by the long years in prison, was acquitted. Those who had bullied his family - the attending doctor, the director, the patient's family members... also had troubles one after another.
Pei Ziheng put him in a more important position and took him with him wherever he went.
Chuchen knew that he had given his boss a good coming-of-age gift.
However, this is not the best. The best gift was given to him by the boss himself——
A beautiful girl.
He still remembered that it was the season when iris flowers were in full bloom, and the orphanage on the outskirts of S city was illuminated by clear golden sunshine. He and his boss were drinking tea in the dean's office, listening to the dean thanking the emperor with some fear and fear. of charitable donations, and talked about the plans for the orphanage.
Suddenly, the boss stood up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window not far away.
He also followed, and then he saw the girl downstairs—to be precise, he spotted her at first sight among a group of wild children fighting.
She is so beautiful.
It is a kind of beauty that is stunning and unforgettable at first sight, like a ball of golden sunshine or a bright flame. Or...or what...
At this moment, he heard the boss next to him utter two words in a low voice: "Butterfly."
Yes, that girl is like a butterfly flying in the sun, beautiful and charming, mysterious and elusive. She fought against a group of big children alone, and she didn't lose at all during the fight. Although she was wearing patched old clothes and her hair was disheveled, she couldn't hide the charming look shining on her beautiful face. She looked so innocent and flawless. But he was so arrogant, proud and arrogant.
