Chapter 231 230. Punishment?

Chapter 231 230. Punishment?

The reality was just as Nie Wei and Luo Kai imagined. After getting off the plane from Kyoto, they didn't even have time to go home when they were blocked by people sent by Wang Zhonglei to wait for them outside the airport.

Then the two of them were picked up in the car, and they were invited to dinner by the boss, but they both knew that this was obviously a "Hongmen Banquet". Wang Zhonglei probably was not in the mood to invite them to dinner at this time, which was obvious. Asking for guilt.

"Nie Wei, you don't have to say anything when you get in. I'll take care of everything." Sitting in the back seat, Luo Kai whispered in Nie Wei's ear.

He chose to shoulder the responsibility. On the one hand, he had a really good relationship with Nie Wei and wanted to protect Nie Wei with all his strength. The second point was that he trusted Nie Wei and knew that he was a partner who valued loyalty, even if he was like this. He will be punished once, but as long as Nie Wei does not fall, he will have a chance to make a comeback.

Nie Wei was a little surprised and touched by Luo Kai's responsibility, but in the end he shook his head.

This matter is really not something Luo Kai can afford, because Nie Wei knows very well that taking on a villain role will make Wang Zhonglei very angry, but what irritates him more is the behavior of the two of them taking the job privately, because this represents Artists are not controlled by the company, which is undoubtedly the biggest challenge to the boss.

Nie Wei knew very well that if Wang Zhonglei mistakenly thought that Luo Kai was instigating Nie Wei, then Luo Kai would definitely be finished, and completely finished.

This result was unacceptable to Nie Wei.

Of course, if Luo Kai were replaced by someone else, Nie Wei wouldn't mind throwing the blame away and even trying to make up for it, but Luo Kai was different. The trust he had built over the past two years was something Nie Wei couldn't throw away at will, let alone The matter was far from as simple as Luo Kai thought. There was no way Nie Wei could be immune to this matter.

"Don't think too much. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Just look at my eyes and act after you get in." Seeing what Luo Kai wanted to say with a sad look on his face, Nie Wei shook his head and interrupted him, comforting him by the way.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Luo Kai knew that Nie Wei was smarter than him, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

The car soon arrived at Wang Zhonglei's villa in Kyoto. As soon as Nie Wei and Luo Kai got off the car, someone greeted them at the door and guided them towards the inside of the villa.

"This little brother, who is attending Mr. Wang's dinner today?" On the way to the villa, Luo Kai inquired about the situation.

But it was obvious that these people had been ordered to do so. No matter how many questions Luo Kai asked, they remained silent all the way, and at most they smiled politely.

When he arrived at the door of the villa, Luo Kai didn't ask any questions, and his expression was a little depressed. Nie Wei who was standing next to him smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and walked into the villa hall first.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Wang will be here in a moment." After entering the villa, the person leading the way finally spoke, but after leaving these words, he also left, leaving only Nie Wei and Luo Kai alone in the lobby of the villa. wait.

Five minutes...ten minutes...fifteen minutes...

As time gradually passed, Luo Kai's face clearly showed anxiety. After all, extending one's head and retracting one's head are just the same. If you cut your head early, you will be happy. What's the point of waiting like this?

Looking at Luo Kai who was pacing back and forth in the hall because of anxiety, Nie Wei walked to him with a calm smile on his face, pulled him to the sofa, and then forcefully pressed him down and sat on the sofa.

"Don't be impatient and wait patiently. This is Wang Zhonglei trying to show off his power to us again. Stay calm and eat some fruit when you have time. Their grapes are still very sweet."

Luo Kai was startled by Nie Wei's words, and then he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pick a grape from the fruit plate and threw it into his mouth as if he was possessed by a demon. The next second, his eyes suddenly lit up and he praised with a thumbs up: "It's really sweet."

"I'm not lying to you." As he spoke, Nie Wei also took two more pills: "I'll ask Wang Zhonglei later where he bought these grapes."

"You have such a big heart." Luo Kai sighed with a wry smile, sincerely admiring Nie Wei's broad-mindedness, but Nie Wei's calmness and calmness undoubtedly affected him, and his inner anxiety was reduced.

Another half hour passed before someone came to inform Nie Wei and Luo Kai to go to the restaurant for dinner.

When Luo Kai and Nie Wei arrived at the restaurant, they first saw Wang Zhonglei sitting at the head of the table. Wang Zhonglei was the only one in the whole restaurant. Obviously, this dinner was prepared for them two.

Luo Kai originally thought that Wang Zhonglei would get angry when he saw them, but to his surprise, Wang Zhonglei just smiled when he saw the two of them, and then stretched out his hand to signal them to sit down.

But the calmer he became, the more uneasy Luo Kai felt.

After the two sat down, Wang Zhonglei snapped his fingers, and soon a man dressed as a waiter walked out pushing a dining cart.

"Today I specially ordered this meal prepared by their chef team from a very authentic French restaurant in Kyoto. You should try it carefully. In addition, let me sober up the bottle of red wine that I have collected. You can also help me taste it and take a look. How about this wine?"

Wang Zhonglei said this with a smile, as if he was entertaining guests with good intentions, but both Nie Wei and Luo Kai knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

The fast food was served on the table in the same way. French food, the main dish is still steak. Nie Wei cut into it and tasted it. It was really good. The fry was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The heat was just right, and because of the chef The skill is superb, the seasoning and moisture are fully locked in the beef, and the taste is mellow and the aftertaste is endless.

"Very delicious steak." Nie Wei nodded with appreciation on his face.

"As long as you like it." Wang Zhonglei smiled when he heard this compliment, and suddenly asked: "Nie Wei, how do you think Brother Zhonglei treats you?"

Wang Zhonglei's seemingly casual question stunned Luo Kai, who was cutting steak on the side, but Nie Wei, who was asked, seemed to be unaware of the meaning of the words, and still replied with a faint smile: "Very good."

"Since it is very good, why didn't you inform the company about the new movie? Or did Brother do something wrong that made you dissatisfied?" Wang Zhonglei had put down his knife and fork at this time, staring at Nie Wei and asked.

This made Luo Kai sweat coldly on the side, and subconsciously wanted to block for Nie Wei, but Nie Wei seemed to sense Luo Kai's thoughts, turned his head slightly and glanced at him, indicating that he should not act rashly.

It was Nie Wei's eyes that suppressed Luo Kai's impulse, but his inner worries did not decrease.

"I did something wrong about the new movie, but it all stems from the fact that I like the role too much. I also thought that the company might not agree to let me take on a villain role, so I acted on my own. Brother Zhonglei, I am willing to accept the company's punishment on me, and I have no complaints."

To everyone's surprise, Nie Wei answered very frankly, which made Wang Zhonglei stunned for a moment.

After all, he had prepared for Nie Wei to come up with N kinds of excuses, and he had been thinking about how to respond for most of the day, but now Nie Wei directly confessed his mistakes, which made all his preparations go to waste.

After coming to his senses, seeing that Luo Kai and Nie Wei were looking at him with an expression of "I was wrong", Wang Zhonglei coughed twice to cover up, and then continued: "Ahem, I can understand an actor's desire for a role, but this is not a reason for you to violate the company's operations. Huayi is such a big company. If everyone does not follow the rules, I, as the boss, will have no way to manage it. Nie Wei, do you think I am right?"

"You are right." Nie Wei nodded and agreed.

"So how do you think I should punish you for your mistake this time?" Wang Zhonglei was very smart and directly kicked the ball to Nie Wei, letting him speak for himself.

"Brother Zhonglei, I accept any form of punishment, but there is only one thing, I hope you don't obstruct the arrangement of my new movie, this is my only request." Nie Wei's face was calm, and he also stated his conditions.

As Nie Wei finished speaking, Luo Kai also looked at Wang Zhonglei, wanting to see how he would respond, but to his surprise, after hearing Nie Wei's words, Wang Zhonglei suddenly laughed again.

"Well, it seems that you really like that role, then I will fulfill your wish. In the future, you will concentrate on this movie, and the company will not arrange other resources for you for the time being. This can be regarded as a punishment for you. How about it, are you satisfied?"

As soon as Wang Zhonglei said this, Nie Wei's eyes flashed with a look of surprise.

This punishment seems harsh. After all, the most important thing for a star is resources. However, the time limit for the withdrawal of these resources is very interesting. It is during the period when Nie Wei is filming, and Nie Wei is not interested in commercial activities. Obviously, Wang Zhonglei's approach seems harsh, but in fact it is a light hand.

Facing Wang Zhonglei's smiling eyes, Nie Wei's eyes were full of doubts, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to him, and he figured out the reason at once.

It seems that this guy is using this mistake to sell his favors and prepare for the next signing! Because Nie Wei thought about it, the only thing that could make Wang Zhonglei make concessions was his contract. If it was because of the contract, the other party would tolerate his outrage this time, which seemed to be excusable.

But thinking of this, Nie Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Don't owe favors to others. He hoped that Wang Zhonglei would scold him or punish him more severely, but the other party's mind and shrewdness were undoubtedly beyond Nie Wei's expectations.

Luo Kai, who was standing by, didn't see as deeply as Nie Wei, but he also found that Wang Zhonglei's punishment was fake, which made him really confused.

You know, although Wang Zhonglei always looks smiling and has a good temper, Luo Kai, who has been in the company for many years, knows best that anyone who steps on Wang Zhonglei's bottom line will not have a good ending. What he and Nie Wei did was undoubtedly breaking the company's rules, and the company's rules were Wang Zhonglei's red line, but this punishment really made him feel incredible, and he even thought a little bit that it was too light?

If he just got away with it like this, Luo Kai really didn't know what to do.

But in the following dinner, Wang Zhonglei really didn't mention this matter again. The conclusion just now seemed to be a final conclusion. Until Wang Zhonglei personally sent them out of the villa, Luo Kai didn't wait for what he imagined to happen.

"Nie Wei, what does Mr. Wang mean by this?" Sitting in the car, Luo Kai couldn't suppress his inner uneasiness and asked quietly.

"Favors, contracts." Nie Wei glanced at the driver in front and found that he was concentrating on driving and not paying attention to the back seat, so he whispered two words beside Luo Kai.

Luo Kai was reminded by this and suddenly realized.

"Go to the company tomorrow to find out if Wang Jinghua has any action." Nie Wei took out his mobile phone, typed a line of words and handed it to Luo Kai.

"Understood." Seeing the message on Nie Wei's mobile phone, Luo Kai immediately nodded and agreed.

After giving instructions, Nie Wei took back his phone, leaned against the car window and closed his eyes to rest, while Luo Kai asked the driver in front to drive steadily so as not to disturb Nie Wei's rest.

In a daze, when Nie Wei woke up, he had returned home.

"Xiao Wei, you must be tired, go back to the house and rest. Your boss is really something. How can he take people to dinner and talk about work as soon as he gets off the plane?" Nie Wei, who looked tired, entered the house and was nagged by his mother Su Qing, while Zhou Duoduo was heartlessly pestering Nie Wei for gifts.

"They are all in my box. The one with your name on the package is yours. Remember not to mess up my clothes." Nie Wei informed him, and Zhou Duoduo immediately cheered and ran straight to Nie Wei's room.

Nie Wei stayed in the living room. After a while, he saw Zhou Aiguo coming over with a pot of hot tea.

"You are in for a treat, little brat. My friend just brought me some Emei Bamboo Leaf Green. Try it and see how it tastes." As he spoke, Zhou Aiguo had already poured a cup of tea for Nie Wei and handed it to him.

Nie Wei was not polite. He took the tea and looked at the color of the tea soup and the shape of the tea leaves, then smelled it, and finally took a sip.

"Tea and Zen are one, calming the mind and concentrating the spirit. This Tao-level Bamboo Leaf Green is really good."

"You know a lot." Hearing Nie Wei talking about the origin of this tea, Zhou Aiguo immediately smiled, filled a glass for himself, and tasted it.

The father and son sat on the chairs, sipping tea one by one, until the tea in the cup was almost gone. Nie Wei put down the cup first and said, "Uncle, I want to ask you for something."

"You say."

"Can you lend me some money?"

"Hmm?" Zhou Aiguo was slightly startled by Nie Wei's request to borrow money. After coming to his senses, he did not immediately agree to Nie Wei, but looked at him puzzledly.

It's not that Zhou Aiguo is reluctant to spend money. In fact, in his heart, Nie Wei is the best heir to his company. Most of his property in the future will also need Nie Wei to take care of it. As for his own daughter, he prefers to give her some jewelry, real estate, and other value-preserving things, and will not let her get involved in this too complicated business circle.

He was surprised that Nie Wei would take the initiative to ask him to borrow money, which he really didn't expect. At the same time, he also realized that this money must be very important to Nie Wei, so he must find out the reason.

Facing Zhou Aiguo's gaze, Nie Wei did not hide anything and spoke openly about the reason for the loan.
