Chapter 0888: I'm Just Getting Back at You!
Rebirth of a Perfect Future · 第0888章 老子就是报复你!
Zhao Fusheng has always believed in repaying kindness with kindness and returning malice with malice.
In other words, in Zhao Fusheng's mind, since Ma Dajun dared to offend him, he should be prepared for retaliation. Where in this world are there so many happy endings? You hurt someone, casually say sorry, and think you can sweep it under the rug? Hah, dream on!
So from the very beginning, once Zhao Fusheng learned that Ma Dajun was behind this, he had no intention of reconciling.
It's just that at the time, in front of Jiang Wen, he couldn't be so direct.
More importantly, Zhao Fusheng was also wary of the reaction from the Beijing circle. After all, if so many people banded together, he might not be able to suppress them.
You see, in this world, many things cannot be achieved simply by being in the right.
Adults only care about gains and losses; children are the ones who distinguish right from wrong.
Especially those children who have little experience in the world are even more inclined to judge things by right and wrong.
But in fact, if things could be judged by right and wrong, then the supervisor in charge of Sanju Deer would not have been promoted step by step, and the manufacturer of the problematic vaccine would not have been fined only three million yuan.
Since things had come to this point, there was naturally no need to say anything more. A few people chatted idly for a while and then left separately.
When they reached the entrance of the restaurant, Ye Jing took a deep look at Zhao Fusheng and said meaningfully, "Fusheng, are you confident?"
Zhao Fusheng smiled upon hearing this. "Brother Ye, since we've known each other, when have I ever done something I wasn't sure about?"
Ye Jing fell silent. Since Zhao Fusheng had put it that way, he naturally wouldn't say anything else.
Yu Feihong, on the other hand, said nothing. In her view, Zhao Fusheng was like her own younger brother, and besides, he wasn't in the wrong in this matter. So her thinking was clear: since Ma Dajun dared to secretly trip others up, he should be prepared to be dealt with by others.
As for Jiang Wen, that guy didn't need to take a stand at all. If it weren't for him, there might not have been so much trouble.
Since none of them had driven earlier, Jiang Wen simply had his assistant take Ye Jing and Yu Feihong home first, while he and Zhao Fusheng waited at the restaurant.
"Thanks."
Jiang Wen suddenly said to Zhao Fusheng.
He wasn't stupid. Zhao Fusheng and Ma Dajun had no serious conflict of interest. Even if Ma Dajun's previous actions had harmed the interests of Future Films, that had nothing to do with Zhao Fusheng's interests.
In the end, the reason Zhao Fusheng showed no face to Ma Dajun today was because of him, Jiang Wen.
Although Zhao Fusheng hadn't mentioned this favor, Jiang Wen had to acknowledge it.
"Are you sick? Why are you being so polite with me?" Zhao Fusheng looked at Jiang Wen, extremely surprised, then laughed. "What's up? Want to give our Fan Baobao a leading role? Or maybe introduce me to some actresses..."
Jiang Wen curled his lip, his gratitude instantly vanishing without a trace. He glanced at Zhao Fusheng with disdain. "Heh, you don't need to worry about roles for Baobao. When there's a suitable opportunity, I'll definitely help. As for actresses, it's not that I, your big brother, look down on you—I could introduce them, no problem. But the question is, do you dare to contact them?"
Zhao Fusheng blinked and decided not to discuss this unproductive topic with Jiang Wen.
As an upright person, someone who has risen above vulgar interests, how could I constantly talk about unspoken rules?
"By the way, how do you plan to deal with Ma Dajun?"
Zhao Fusheng looked at Jiang Wen and slowly spoke.
Jiang Wen was taken aback, then shook his head: "To be honest, it's difficult. After all, he's now a well-known director, and since we're at the same company, we basically have no chance to compete."
Zhao Fusheng nodded thoughtfully, knowing that Jiang Wen was telling the truth. Not to mention that they were all in the same circle, but just the friends behind each of them wouldn't allow Ma Dajun and Jiang Wen to truly reach a point of irreconcilable conflict.
"What, disappointed?" Jiang Wen saw Zhao Fusheng silent and asked with a smile.
Zhao Fusheng didn't say anything, and after a long while said: "So, there's only one chance?"
Jiang Wen was startled, then understood what Zhao Fusheng meant. He meant that if they wanted to deal with Ma Dajun, they only had one chance, because the people in the Beijing circle wouldn't allow their circle to fall apart.
"Pretty much. After all, he was in the wrong first. I can retaliate, but I can't go too far," Jiang Wen said to Zhao Fusheng.
He was essentially laying things out clearly for Zhao Fusheng. Both he and Zhao Fusheng knew that even in retaliating against Ma Dajun, they could only keep things within certain bounds.
"In that case, I think the script for 'Cell Phone' can be put on the agenda," Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.
Jiang Wen was taken aback, then also smiled. He had almost forgotten that he still had this thing in hand.
Thinking about being able to make this film, Jiang Wen suddenly felt that he was especially looking forward to Ma Dajun's reaction.
Seeing the smile on Jiang Wen's face, Zhao Fusheng knew the guy was definitely up to no good. But Zhao Fusheng himself also felt that this matter had room for maneuver; at the very least, it could annoy Ma Dajun and make the audience always remember him.
"Don't take the lead. I will."
Jiang Wen pondered for a moment and said to Zhao Fusheng.
In his view, it was most appropriate for him to take the lead, because no matter what, the whole Ma Dajun affair was aimed at him. Zhao Fusheng was just sticking up for a friend.
Zhao Fusheng shrugged: "Suit yourself. Anyway, my name is on the credits, so Ma Dajun will definitely hate both of us together."
Hearing this, Jiang Wen laughed. To be honest, he didn't mind having one more person hate him, but he didn't expect Zhao Fusheng to support him so resolutely.
People, at any time, hope to be recognized by others.
Just like now, Jiang Wen really identified with Zhao Fusheng, because they had a common enemy, Ma Dajun.
Of course, setting up a film crew couldn't be done in a day or two, so neither Zhao Fusheng nor Jiang Wen was in a hurry, because they knew well the principle that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years.
If they could use a movie to nail Ma Dajun to the pillar of shame, that would definitely be a very happy thing.
The two guys laughed so happily that the assistant who returned after seeing off the guests was baffled, wondering what had gotten into them. Could they have encountered something happy while he was away?
No one knew that a classic film that would later spark huge controversy and social discussion was decided to be made under these circumstances.
Truth is always buried in the long river of history, at all times and in all countries, and so it is.
