Chapter 196: What’s Your Relationship?
“Mmm,” said Mathew, “It would definitely be profitable to sign her now!”
“But...” Hazel frowned. She had no idea of starting a film company.
“Miss Crowe, the most profitable industry is the entertainment industry,” Mathew said. “Although Denmark Group is not involved in the entertainment industry at the moment, signing a promising artist is definitely a worthwhile step. Besides, I have a lot of entertainment industry resources, and I’ll be able to help you at that time...”
Hazel felt a little embarrassed. Mathew had been a misunderstanding and thinking she was working for Denmark Group. “Director Carter, I think you misunderstood. I have nothing to do with the Denmark Group.”
In fact, that was not true exactly. Denmark Group had been hers since Joshua coaxed her into signing the transfer agreement. However, she never thought of Denmark Group as hers, and she knew very clearly that she had no such ability to be in charge of it.
She helped Mathew the last time to save his life, but it would be different if she set up a film company, so she said this, hoping Mathew would not misunderstand again.
Mathew looked at her in shock. “But you can even get into the President’s office of Denmark Group, or you can even order the assistant to the President...”
She was a little embarrassed, “Director Carter, I was able to get into the President’s office because I had a good personal relationship with the President of Denmark Group. Back then, I was closer to the Denmark Group, so I borrowed the office. If I took you to some coffee shop to talk about investment, I didn’t think it was serious enough, and I was afraid you wouldn’t believe me.”
“I see…” Mathew was very disappointed instantly. “It’s a pity then. Letting go of such a potential entertainer is a big loss. If you really stop and think about it, several highly qualified newcomers in this film do not yet have an agency. You might want to consider setting up a studio first. It is good if you want to develop it slowly after that.”
“This...” Hazel knitted her brows more tightly.
In fact, Mathew’s words really touched her, but to run a film company or set up a studio needed money. She was just a senior in university and had no business experience at all. She had no idea how to proceed.
Seeing Hazel’s hesitation, Mathew continued, “Or you can convince the President of Denmark Group to support you. Don’t you think that you have a great personal relationship? With Denmark Group working with you, you could make money even when you’re sleeping.”
She didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Mathew really painstakingly wanted to help her make money.
“I can’t make decisions for the Denmark Group, let alone ask others to do something with my personal connections,” she said simply. It was her bottom line, otherwise, it would look as if she was with Joshua only for his money.
Looking at Mathew’s pitiful look, she went on, “but I’ll think about it.”
“All right.” Mathew nodded but no longer hold out hope for it.
“Director Carter, do you know my relationship with Joshua?” she asked curiously. These days Mathew appeared to be completely unaware of her affair with Joshua.
“What relationship?” Mathew asked blankly.
“You didn’t search the Internet or ask others?” She was even more surprised.
“Oh, I searched you after you decided to invest,” he said. “But I found nothing.”
Found nothing? She was stunned.
No mention of last year’s surrogacy selection, even when Vanessa framed her, she was always mentioned on the Internet. Although the online popularity of almost anything rarely lasted three days, it was impossible to find anything about her. She found it strange.
She couldn’t help but take out her phone and surf the Internet, but just as Mathew said, she couldn’t find anything.
Her heart was warm. Joshua had promised her parents that he would not let her get involved in the media, and he made it happen.
“What’s your relationship?” Mathew was a little curious when Hazel asked.
“... Friendship,” she said. She was not lying. A boyfriend or girlfriend was also a friend, right?
Suddenly, Hazel’s phone rang. Looking at the number on the screen, her face couldn’t help but change slightly.
They had hardly been talking about Joshua when he suddenly called. She felt very guilty instantly. Joshua wouldn’t have found that she had snuck out, would he?
The phone rang like a death rattle, and she felt very sad despite herself. Forget it!
After Mathew left the room, she answered the phone.
“Where are you, Hazel?” Joshua asked in a deep tone.
She was going to lie, but she hesitated before she said honestly, “I’ve got work to do on the set…”
Joshua was silent for a moment. He had meant to be angry, but she was actually so honest that he had cooled down a lot.
“Come out, I’m waiting for you,” he said in a deep voice.
She quickly left the set. Then she saw Joshua’s car parked on the roadside, so she got in. Sure enough, he came after her because he knew she had snuck out.
Looking at Joshua’s darkened face, she already knew how angry he was.
She hurried to open her mouth before he could say anything. “Joshua, I have something important to discuss with you.”
Joshua, looking at her seriousness, was slightly startled.
“What’s the matter?” he asked quietly.
“I want to set up a film company. What do you think?” she asked. She hadn’t really thought about it yet, but now she had to use it to change the subject.
Set up a film company? Joshua was even more surprised. Why did Hazel suddenly have such an idea?
“Why?” he asked.
“Well…” She was happy because she seemed to have succeeded in changing the subject. She informed him of Mathew’s advice.
Joshua pondered. “The proposal is not bad. Mathew fell from top to bottom, but it made him a strong enough connection. If he’s willing to help, he can really make the film company succeed.”
“But I’m a little worried,” she frowned. “I don’t know anything about it. I don’t even know what to do. If I did it, wouldn't it be a waste of money? Oh, and most of all, I don’t have any money.”
“You have much money.” He looked at her, displeased.
“It’s not the point, it’s the point that I can’t afford to let money go down the drain, no matter how much money I have, right?” she said.
