Chapter 3 – Little White Rabbit

(03)

Bai Lang laughed. This type of question was probing him for information. The Bai Lang who had mingled in the entertainment world for ten years could already discern it. "Since we are having a discussion, where else could it be but at the company office? Is there something wrong with the company office that we have to go out and spend money on?"

"Oh. It's like that." Xiao Yang's voice fell slightly. "Then what time? I'll go and pick you up?"

"There's no need. These two days I won't be turning my phone on. You should have a good rest. The advertisement shoot has been changed to the day after tomorrow."

They were still filming "Partners for Life" {T/N: Remember it is a super long 6 month show, and they're most likely filming and broadcasting at the same time}. However because the male lead had some conflicts in schedule, so they could only film a little, then rest a little. The director was so stressed his hair nearly went white however this let Bai Lang have quite a lot of free time, as well as to do other jobs.

"Tomorrow as well? What are you doing? Are you meeting Mr Chou again?" Xiao Yang asked inquisitively.

"Tomorrow I'm going home to see my family while I have some free time. When I get busy again I won't get time." Bai Lang pretty much only went home once every few months, so his reasoning made sense.

"Okay. Brother Lang, once you finish your talk with big boss Chou, remember to tell me ah!" Xiao Yang didn't want to give up. "I hope that brother Lang will get more roles in dramas and fly up to the sky! That way I can become the most important assistant on set, ahahaha!!"

Hearty laughter sounded from inside the phone. Bai Lang thought about how much sincerity there was in that laughter. "Okay. See you in two days."

"Bye, brother Lang."

Two hours later, Bai Lang sat respectfully on the sofa outside Chou Qian's office, waiting for him.

Total Entertainment was only a small subsidiary of the En Jiang Group, so Chou Qian didn't often appear here. If one wanted to see Chou Qian then one had to make an appointment very early and come here to wait.

If one wanted to talk about the En Jiang Group behind Chou Qian, everyone knew that it belonged to the Xindao's Chou Family. {T/N: Xindao is a place name, like Qingdao. It literally means "New Island". The author's following description makes me think of Macau/Hong Kong but it's a made up place I'm sure.}

Speaking of Xindao, it was a place that only in the last ten years had been legitimized as a designated specialty gambling area. It was known for its nightlife, exportation business and entertainment business. However previous to that, it was a place where illegal gambling and black market exportation was rife.

The illegal activities coming from on the island were very serious and it was almost impossible to completely change its ways. Until one year when the government somehow saw the light, and decided to just simply legalize its gambling and open its harbor. That way they could openly and legitimately police and regulate its activities.

The Chou family had been doing business on Xindao for generations. At the time of the legalization they were already quite powerful. Once their business became legal they immediately began to spread their business properly and openly. They opened casino after casino, hotel after hotel, buying up bundles and bundles of land. After ten years of washing themselves clean, they could now be considered a very legitimate entertainment, hospitality and shipping company.
