Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 319 Liu Yifei: Go to Fox and tell him you're sorry
Wendi Deng walked out of the office door and drove directly to the Chang'an Club at No. 10 East Chang'an Avenue.

Looking at the geographical location, you can tell that it is not undeservedly called the top of the four major clubs in Beijing.

The Huntress was not one to be reckless.

She was asked by her husband to deal with the aftermath of the Manhattan incident, and her first choice was naturally to reconcile with the parties involved.

But once such an insulting request was made, how could Wendi Deng, who felt that she had completed a leap in life, be willing to lower her head that she had raised with great difficulty?

The first option is to run aground, the second option is to ask for help.

When seeking help, it is important to find the right channel. Her channel was a socialite and Honghuang whom she met at Harper's Bazaar last time.

However, after listening to Wendi Deng's request, both of them frowned at the same time.

This is the second time Honghuang has heard this name today.

Her ex-husband Chen Kaige also contacted her these past two days, to see if there was any way to find someone to mediate with the young director or to mediate if something went wrong.

This is just because he was frightened by the ending of Taro and his son, so he was preparing for the future.

Although the two divorced, Honghuang also stood up and spoke out loudly after the "Mantou" incident happened in later life, and they still get along well in private.

She remained silent, and another socialite promised, "Wendy! I'll take care of this. Just wait a moment!"

She spoke in a very arrogant tone, but she was always the one who did these things. In order to show off her connections, she made the call in front of Wendy Deng.

"Hello? Director Qi, it's me, haha..."

"Oh, I'm fine. Give my regards to your wife, too."

She winked at Wendy Deng, whose expression had slightly eased, and got straight to the point: "Director Qi, has your unit conducted any surprise inspections of News Corporation's programs these past few days? I'm wondering..."

"what?"

The socialite stopped talking before she could finish her words, apparently interrupted by the person on the other end of the phone.

Honghuang and Deng Wendi only saw her face changing, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she replied "OK" in a sullen manner and hung up.

After squinting her eyes and remaining silent for two seconds, the socialite sighed deeply, "Director Qi from the General Office called and told me not to inquire about this matter for the time being. He said..."

Everyone understands.

Signaling Wendy Deng to stay calm, the socialite contacted her friends in the Social Management Department and the Foreign Affairs Department of the Bureau and tried to find out more from the side.

They all kept their mouths shut and gained nothing.

Hong Huang smiled and said, "Wendy, this guide is a businessman. Is there any possibility of resolving the misunderstanding through business communication?"

"Not yet." Wendy Deng was reluctant to tell them about the existence of such conditions.

Being able to hear such words from that man's mouth was the greatest insult to her.

Hong Huang saw her eyes flickering, thinking there was something going on, and offered another suggestion: "I've heard Kaige and the others talk about Lu Kuan as well."

“Sometimes he’s frighteningly old, like an apathetic politician in his fifties or sixties.”

"Sometimes he's ridiculously impulsive, like a fresh-faced fresh-out-of-school graduate."

"Wendy, I wonder if you could try to find a solution from Concubine Liu Yi?"

"We've all heard about what happened in the United States. Since your two families are enemies, this matter can't be avoided by her for the time being."

"The person who tied the bell must untie it. Why don't you go talk to that Concubine Liu Yi?"

"Isn't an eighteen-year-old girl much easier to deal with than this hateful old man?"

Wendy Deng left after a simple dinner.

She did not receive any practical support or help from this gathering of girlfriends, except for verbal praise and encouragement.

In the past, this would not have been a big deal, and even News Corporation could have handled it through its own social relations in Beijing.

For example, Vice President Li Yinghong mentioned earlier, she was responsible for the launch of China Entertainment TV and Star TV in Guangdong Province in 2001.

In exchange, Time Warner and News Corporation helped CCTV9 land in the United States and the United Kingdom respectively.

During this process, News Corporation did develop considerable connections in the mainland counterparts, but because of Li Yinghong's boss——

News Corporation China President David Davis is a foreign executive who made the same mistake as Amazon, forcing foreign programs into the mainland. This resulted in an operating model where the production took place in Shanghai, most of the production staff came from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the audience was from Guangdong Province.

This time the situation is indeed special and has touched the most sensitive nerve of a certain Tokyo University, at least in the past two years.

Wendi Deng knew very well that this was inseparable from Lu Kuan's official announcement as the chief director of the Olympic opening ceremony.

All his enemies do not want him to obtain this status and honor, because they are afraid that he will use this ladder to continue climbing up and accumulate more top-level connections and reputation.

But wasn't it for this very reason that she launched the fatal attack?
Losing to the damn so-called pure love in the mind of a 19-year-old girl is really not a crime.

Wendy from North America, who had just traveled to Beijing yesterday, suddenly felt tired. She returned to the Ritz-Carlton in Financial Street where she was staying, took a quick shower and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, Wendy Deng, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by the vibration of her cell phone. She flipped the phone and answered it, and the old white man's voice, with a little emotional ups and downs, came in.

"Wendy, you haven't told me about your communication with Lu."

"He refused, and I'm trying to figure it out."

Murdoch paused for two seconds: "Is there a computer nearby?"

"Yes, dear."

"Go check the news. It's probably spread to the mainland, based on the methods used by that CEO of Wenjie."

"I can't confirm it's him yet, but I think it's worth taking seriously. I'm investigating the source of the leak."

The old white man's voice suddenly became serious: "We must solve the problem as soon as possible. No matter what conditions he puts forward, you can discuss it with me."

Wendy Deng glanced at the time on her mobile phone, which was three o'clock in the morning. She recalled her husband's unprecedented solemn tone and the subtle dissatisfaction he had just revealed, and hurriedly got up.

The source of the leak? What does that mean?
Sitting in front of the computer screen late at night, Wendy Deng, with disheveled hair, was in no mood to straighten her messy hair, and her slightly rough long face seemed to have lost the disguise of makeup.

It looks particularly terrifying under the direct sunlight of the screen.

shock!
Reprinted from BBC Wide Angle:
This column recently received an anonymous email, which provided information about an alleged illegal commercial competition incident four years ago involving Sky TV and Mr. Murdoch of News Corporation, the company behind it.

It is reported that Sky Television, which is affiliated with News Corporation, hired Thoic website in 2002 to decipher the set-top box pay TV code of a program of its competitor, British Independent Television.

Sky TV used coding leaks to create a large number of pirated copies to hit its competitors, causing the latter to transfer its market share of pay TV business at a low price three months later.

Relevant evidence and information are being collected, so stay tuned.

Wendy Deng in front of the screen opened her eyes in horror and looked at the news in disbelief!

Even she only found out about this secret a year ago!

It was because Murdoch had started to take over the affairs of News Corporation that he had no choice but to tell her.

The warnings and questions my husband just gave me on the phone are still ringing in my ears!
Is it him? Is it really him?
Is there anyone in China who "cares" more about News Corp. than him? Why would he see news like this being reposted late at night?
But how did he know?
The blue light from the computer screen shone directly into Wendy Deng's pupils like a soul-searching demon. The female hunter, who had rarely shown signs of weakness since immigrating to North America, wiped her forehead silently.

All in cold sweat.

She couldn't help but be afraid, as she thought of a guess and possibility that had been lurking in her heart for a long time!

This possibility can directly explain how this oriental director found someone to fabricate his own background and resume, and how he revealed the inside story of News Corporation’s scandal four years ago without any error!
In Wendi Deng's view, Western people's beliefs are just a mask of hypocrisy, but some Eastern people's beliefs are a kind of unknown fear to her.

The huntress took a slow, deep breath to calm herself down, thought for a moment, and called Harvey.

"Hello, Wendy, how's Mr. Murdoch?"

The Jewish white pig had obviously also seen the news, but he did not share the same hatred with Boss Lu.

In his eyes, there are no enemies or friends.

The reason I became friends with that oriental director is that since I met him, I have never seen him make any mistakes.

On the contrary, it is a pitfall for me to go against him, and it is a waste of money to cooperate with him.

Any fool would choose it.

"Harvey, I have some questions and want to hear some honesty from you."

"I can't guarantee you anything, but at least you have my friendship with Murdoch, which is pretty good, right?"

"I will try my best to coordinate more publicity resources for you for the Oscars in March."

The Jew replied happily, "Of course, I am always honest and welcome your consultation."

"Does your friend, the oriental director, have any magical abilities?"

"Huh? You mean."

Wendy Deng really didn't want to mention that name: "Lu! I'm talking about Lu! Can he predict and know some things about the past?"

"Wow! What a shame, you knew this secret too."

"Wendy, I now have a second sect to practice, which is your Eastern Taoism. Last time in the City God Temple in Magic City, I saw that majestic statue with my own eyes. It was simply..."

Wendy Deng couldn't stand it any longer: "Harvey! I'm talking to you about serious matters!"

"I'm serious too!"

Harvey Weinstein began to boast: "Did you know that Lou could draw a magic spell on the table with his hand dipped in water? That's what it's called?"

"Hmm...it looks like magical runes from Western mysticism, or like African tribal carvings, or even Indian rattan lines. In short..."

Beep beep beep...

The Jewish white pig curled his lips when he heard the dead tone on the phone.

"Impolite Chinese woman."

Unlike Lu, who remembered to leave some soup for himself when he was cheated. This is the kind of friend that Jews like.
-
Hong Kong, The Peninsula Hotel, Kowloon.

Today's event starts at 2 pm. It is a Hong Kong fan meeting organized by Yang Siwei.

The Hong Kong Disneyland Ambassador Signing Ceremony in two days will be the highlight, but since we are here alone, we should try to fill our schedule as much as possible.

This slightly plump agent is very ambitious, after all, he has been "unemployed" for a long time in the past few months.

Xiao Liu, who had just finished breakfast, returned to the room and kicked Su Chang on the butt while he was sleeping.

"I'm up! I brought you eggs and yogurt."

Su Chang buried his head in the quilt and whimpered fiercely, looking back at her helplessly: "You can't sleep yourself and you don't let others sleep!"

"I really regret coming to see you. I should have ended our friendship!"

Xiao Liu laughed and fell on her: "Thank you, I'm fine now!"

"I'll fly straight to Chicago after the contract is signed. If you don't come to see me, it'll be a long time before we meet again!"

"And Jingying, Bena and the others are all too busy, only you have nothing to do!"

Su Chang looked indignant: "I'm free? You don't even know what cattle and horses are!"

"Apart from filming, training, or acting classes at school, I can't even remember the last time I slept in!"

"I just received the news yesterday that 'Those Years' is about to start filming. I have to take three months off this year to film the TV version of 'The Myth'!"

Xiao Liu teased, "Be content with yourself. I don't know how many people would envy you for such an opportunity."

"No, no, no, I really don't need this kind of envy. You don't know how stressful it is to work in the industry."

"Other actors just want to make money for the company, but the industry has to regularly assess the artist's professionalism, acting skills, and provide public relations training. Oh my God!"

Su Chang sighed: "I regret it."

"What do you regret?"

"I regret acting in 'The Golden Age'. I regret meeting you and the washing machine. Now I'm being ordered around like a beast of burden and can't stop."

Speaking of the Golden Age, I wonder if Concubine Liu Yi was reminded of the breakfast stall at the entrance of Tianwai, and her pretty face smiled unconsciously.

Su Chang knew what was going on when she saw her silly look. She put her arm around her bestie's neck and asked, "What happened between you and the washing machine?"

Liu Yifei curled her lips: "It's nothing, the relationship between the director and the actor."

"You did that on the live broadcast! He even admitted it in front of the reporters! You call that nothing?"

Xiao Liu turned around and fiddled with the gifts given by local Hong Kong fans on the table. He carefully put them away, propped up his chin and spoke calmly:

"When I was with him before, I was always being pushed forward. When I looked at him, it was only because I was in the mountains that I could not see his original appearance clearly."

"Over the past six months, I've been more distant, thinking more and more, and pondering things more carefully. I've finally realized that my previous impression of his mental age was not an illusion."

Concubine Liu Yi recalled the afternoon on New Year's Eve at the Zheng family in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York, and the old man who lived from almost the Qing Dynasty to the new century, whom she mistakenly recognized.

A trace of bewilderment lingered on her pretty face. "In 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', Li Ming and Lucy met each other for their entire lives, broke up and got back together many times, and finally fell in love at the midpoint of their forty-year-old lives."

"Before this, their life experiences and worldviews were all out of sync."

The little girl's eyebrows curved again, her eyes filled with sorrow. "We... maybe, just like what Jay Chou sang in his song, only time can be the antidote."

Su Chang looked at her best friend silently, having the illusion that she had grown up a lot.

Maybe this isn't an illusion.

That day, Liu Yifei and Lu Kuan sat in the car, watching the appearance of the Lu family father and son through the elegant window of the Bentley.

At that moment, she seemed to have some enlightenment in her heart. Through the front window that looked like a surveillance camera, it was as if she was looking at the world from his perspective.

Many things that were previously incomprehensible now have vague answers.

For example, at the birthday party, she finally mustered up the courage, put aside her pride and asked: Can I break up those relationships?
His answer was that I was still useful.

At that time, Concubine Liu Yi was heartbroken and left the scene in shame and anger, with no time to think carefully about anything.

But now think about it, for a Machiavellian, isn't Fan Bingbing just an actor and a chess piece in the hands of the director?

Of course, the obviously not innocent relationship between the two is what she cares about most.

Regardless of whether she agreed or not, Liu Yifei finally saw a corner of the world from his perspective.

If we apply this to others, what role do we play?

Even though she was only eighteen years old, the girl, who had a lot of experience and was quite mature, realized a very cruel reality.

Before I turned eighteen, before I stepped out of the frame, perhaps the roles I played were slightly more important than Fan Bingbing's?

Because I can help him make money? Because I am somewhat pretty?

If she hadn't thrown herself into the flame at the birthday party, if she hadn't risked her life in the Manhattan incident, would she have had the opportunity to sit in front of the monitor and watch the world with him?

His statement, flowers and hugs on New Year's Eve, his indulgence, pampering and encouragement over the past few days were the warmth that the little girl had always dreamed of but could not achieve.

But to be more pragmatic, even if she did not do this as an exchange, it was an objective reward for Concubine Liu Yi's efforts to break away from the role of a chess piece.

This makes a Machiavellian like the young director cherish the pure and amiable soul of this girl even more from the bottom of his heart, identify with her and share his own world with her.

The so-called straight heart is the place of practice, nothing more than this.

As the two chatted and laughed, the doorbell of the Peninsula Hotel rang: "Ding Dong!"

"Is it Tangtang who is here?" Liu Yifei stood up excitedly and saw this not-so-familiar friend through the peephole.

The door opened, and Tang Yan stood at the door with a coquettish smile: "Xixi, you are back home."

"Please come in, come in, and take a look at the gifts I brought you."

Putting aside the annoying topic of Lu Kuan, the three women sat around the bed and opened the gifts that Concubine Liu Yi brought from abroad.

Hermès Birkin bags, Cartier Trinity series necklaces, Indian hand-woven shawls, and some scale models of classic buildings of the University of Chicago.

Most of them are luxury goods and handicrafts, and they also took some careful consideration to make.

Starting from the temporary mental depression after the birthday party, some people moved away from her, while others got closer and closer.

Tang Yan is an artist of Eagle King. Because of Li Shoucheng's belief in metaphysics, the two families have been good allies in recent years.

Su Chang and Tang Yan have both made guest appearances and interactions in each other's company's film and television productions, including the TV series "The Myth" purchased from Eagle King.

During the more than half year that she disappeared from the domestic entertainment industry, Xiao Liu also interacted frequently with Tang Yan. They can be regarded as a pair of best friends whose "true friendship is tested in times of adversity."

Concubine Liu Yi laughed sweetly: "What a pity, Liangying and the others are not here, so you guys have to choose first!"

She just bought whatever she liked without much planning, thinking of taking it all back and sharing it with her best friends.

Tang Yan was not as familiar with her as Su Chang, so she declined several times before choosing the cheapest-looking Indian handmade shawl.

"This is pretty good. It keeps me warm and blocks the wind during breaks during filming."

Su Chang laughed and said, "You're still saving money for her! She's a rich girl, so we should just eat the rich people as much as possible."

"She still has shares in Haidilao, the place we ate at in Peking last time. From now on, we can go there whenever we have time and just put it on her bill!"

Tang Yan covered her mouth and laughed, and quietly revealed a little gossip: "Chang Chang, the man who came to pick you up after eating hot pot last time..." "Mmmmm..."

Before the silly girl could finish her words, Su Chang attacked her with a shawl, and the two of them fell on the bed laughing and joking.

The gossip fire in Concubine Liu Yi's heart was also burning. She directly used powerful force to separate the two people and forced Su Chang to confess from a superior position.

"Tell the truth! Is it Zhuang Xu?"

Tang Yan opened her eyes wide: "President of Blog.com?"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "That's right, I'm a fake rich lady, and Changchang may become the real rich lady in the future, so let's eat her!"

Su Chang was indignant: "How shameless of you, Liu Yifei!"

"China's richest man has publicly declared that he wants to pursue you, yet he's still making fun of us poor country girls?"

Tang Yan nodded, sharing the same hatred and adversity: "Sisters, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget each other."

Xiao Liu's pretty face flushed red after being teased by them. She was so ashamed and angry that she simply used force to suppress them, and the room was in chaos.

After a while of commotion, Yang Siwei suddenly called, her tone urgent: "Xixi, I just got a call. That Wendy Deng wants to see you!"

"Her assistant contacted me and told me she had already gotten off the plane and went to the Peninsula Hotel immediately."

"What do you say? Do you want to see her?"

Xiao Liu had a long talk with Yang Siwei and Su Chang last night, telling them everything that had happened during this period. They all knew that this woman had a fierce style.

Moreover, as the negative information fabricated by someone spread on the intranet, there are more and more rumors about Wendi Deng.

Su Chang frowned: "What does she want to do now?"

Tang Yan also advised: "That's right, Xixi, don't pay attention to her."

Liu Yifei's mind was racing. She hadn't paid attention to the online reports about News Corporation's scandal, and she couldn't figure out Wendi Deng's intentions.

"Let's meet her, Siwei. Meet her at the water bar at the Peninsula Hotel."

"Okay, shall I come with you?"

The little girl smiled confidently and said, "No, she can't eat people."

At that time, the enemy was strong and we were weak, but we were not afraid of her, let alone now that the situation has turned around.

The exposure plan of Lu Tailang and his son that night was still fresh in Liu Yifei's mind. She wondered if Lu Kuan had attacked Deng Wendi, which was why she hurriedly came to her to mediate?
Do you still think you are a breakthrough?
An hour later, at the water bar on the first floor of the Peninsula Hotel.

Liu Yifei, Su Chang, and Tang Yan found a seat by the window, causing a small sensation.

From time to time, fans came forward to ask for autographs and take photos, but everything was generally orderly.

The Peninsula Hotel opened in 1928 and is owned and operated by the British-Jewish Kadoorie family. It is known as the "Lady of the Far East" and those who stay here are either rich or noble.

Take this water bar for example. Because it is very popular among Hong Kong movie stars, it has been known as the "Movie Star Teahouse" since the 1950s.

In the 80s, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Cherie Chung and Manyu Cheung often visited here, so the service staff here are not too surprised by the demystification and desensitization of celebrities.

When Wendy Deng, who was 1.8 meters tall and wearing high heels, strode in with great vigor, everyone was stunned by the surliness on her face that could not be concealed by makeup.

Hong Kong people are no strangers to her. News Corporation's first stop in Asia was Phoenix TV and Star TV.

At this time, Su Chang, Tang Yan, Yang Siwei and bodyguard Mia sat down near Liu Yifei, looking at this American money-making woman who was said to be good at killing white men with dissatisfaction.

She is tall and has a strong aura. If it weren't for her long, slightly curly hair and long legs in stockings, she would hardly have any feminine gentleness.

Wendy Deng walked closer and said, "Crystal, nice to see you again."

She stood in front of Concubine Liu Yi and stretched out her hand, habitually using a condescending perspective to create oppression in her posture.

Xiao Liu suddenly put himself in the player's perspective of how Boss Lu viewed the world, and found her behavior quite funny.

A... the main quest is all about killing white men as a female NPC?

The little girl smiled gently and said, "Ms. Deng, please sit down. You are blocking my sunlight."

"Besides, back home, we still communicate better in Mandarin, don't you think?"

Wendy Deng felt a little annoyed, but said expressionlessly, "Sure, whatever you wish."

Concubine Liu Yi looked at her watch and said, "I have business activities this afternoon. Please speak if you have anything to say."

"It's like this..." Wendy Deng pondered for a few seconds and was about to speak when she was suddenly interrupted.

"Would you like to order something to drink? You just got off the plane, exhausted?" Xiao Liu looked at her coquettishly with a sincere face.

"What does Ms. Deng usually drink?"

"Hmm, hand-grinded coffee."

Liu Yifei uttered an "oh" and then frowned. "The coffee at Peninsula Coffee doesn't seem as good as the special blend. How about a special blend for you?"

"The Peninsula Special and Victoria Harbour Style are the two most popular. Which one would you like?"

Wendy Deng's expression was slightly gloomy. "I'll just have coffee, thank you."

"No, I don't think so." Xiao Liu still looked at her with a coquettish face, as harmless as a little white flower, but what she said sounded unquestionable.

She spoke slowly and carefully, "I still suggest you order a specially made cocktail."

People around him couldn't see anything unusual.

But Su Chang, Tang Yan, and Yang Siwei, who were paying close attention to this side, felt very clearly:

At this moment, the auras between the two female negotiators, who were twenty years apart in age, suddenly became confrontational.

If there was a camera here, capturing close-ups of their profiles and body movements, it would be a two-person shot with sharp contrast.

Liu Yifei sat on the Peninsula Hotel's handmade fabric sofa with her tight and slender legs, looking at Wendi Deng with her smooth chin slightly raised.

The little girl's eyes were bright and her cheeks were slightly dimpled. The sea breeze from Victoria Harbour was blowing on her face outside the window, and a few strands of hair were playfully teasing her crystal-clear skin.

She looked at Wendy Deng, who was sitting opposite her, gracefully, with a gentle and beautiful smile that seemed to have no aggression at all.

The latter has eagle-like eyes, a broad forehead, and angular profile. He looks even more powerful than the average man.

To outsiders, the contrast between the little white flower and the flower of evil, the contrast between softness and strength, is completely different to the person involved!

Deng Wendy, who was sitting opposite Xiao Liu, clearly sensed her tough attitude and felt that there was no need to continue the conversation unless she was forced to order a specially made cocktail.

In other words, after he took the initiative to contact Liu Yifei and request a meeting, he had already lost the initiative in the negotiations.

Two weeks ago, News Corp. forced Liu Yifei into a desperate situation of a zero-sum game;

Two weeks later at the Peninsula Hotel, Wendy Deng looked at the then harmless 18-year-old girl again, but sadly found that she had to bow her head temporarily.

How can she be just a simple little white flower?

Hidden behind that gentle smile is a sharp sword that pierces one's heart.

She is quite similar to the young director who even her husband finds difficult.

Wendi Deng could only express her protest with silence, allowing Xiao Liu to politely ask the waiter to serve her a special cocktail with a Victoria Harbour style.

Xiao Liu smiled with satisfaction: "Time is limited, please tell me if you have anything to say."

"I'm very sorry for the misunderstanding. Please help me convince Director Lu Kuan to stop attacking each other."

Wendi Deng felt that she had already humbled herself. After all, I am Murdoch's wife. Is it enough for me to apologize to you, a mainland actress, in a humble manner?
She hoped to persuade the so-called "suitor" through Concubine Liu Yi.

"Ah? What does this have to do with me?" Concubine Liu Yi asked in surprise.

"He and I are just ordinary friends, director and actor. I have no right to interfere with his work, right?"

Xiao Liu looked at the female hunter in disbelief. "You don't think I have the ability to influence his decision, do you?"

Wendy Deng felt her scalp tingling. How come she just defeated the old fox and now she ran into a little fox pretending to be stupid?

She looked like a harmless vase and cleared herself of the responsibility with just a few words.

"Let me be frank, Ms. Liu. Business struggles are nothing serious."

"I was reckless this time. I'm willing to accept the loss. You're just setting the conditions. Wouldn't it be more straightforward, like Westerners?"

"You and Disney can turn enemies into friends, so why can't News Corp?"

In the mind of this female hunter, she probably thought that Xiao Liu and Lu Kuan had a particularly close relationship.

She seemed to think that Liu Yifei should also be familiar with and involved in her own black material, News Corporation's scandals, and Phoenix TV's content inspections.

Otherwise, in her opinion, if they didn't have such a close relationship, why would Concubine Liu Yi sacrifice herself to save him?

These words left Concubine Liu Yi completely confused. She had no idea that Lu Kuan had so many arrangements behind the scenes.

Just like the method used against Taro and his son.

There were some things she didn't ask about proactively because Boss Lu felt there was no need to let her know, nor did he want her to see so many intrigues.

"How about this." Liu Yifei said with a look of understanding: "Go on Fox's live broadcast, explain the whole story clearly, and apologize to Lu Kuan."

"How about I go and help you persuade him?"

"you!"

Wendy Deng stood up suddenly, she was so angry that she was fuming!

You two bastards, did you discuss this?

He asked me to bow and apologize to you, and you asked me to apologize to him live. You really don’t take North American Sister Deng seriously, right?
Xiao Liu was shocked by her sudden anger. Why did she react so strongly?
The little girl didn't know yet that Sister Deng from North America felt that she had become a part of the play between her and Boss Lu, and felt that she had been maliciously humiliated.

The sour smell of the ambiguous feelings between you makes Deng Wendy, who is keen on settling the score by killing men through the main quest, feel quite uncomfortable.

Gently, Wendy Deng left, just as quietly as she came.

The slightly plump manager looked at his artist with admiration: "Xixi, you are really different this time."

In the past seven months, Liu Yifei, who traveled to North America, has indeed experienced a lot and matured a lot.

People always need to grow up. Without the wings that protect them, they may grow faster.

Xiao Liu handed Su Chang the glass of her untouched special cocktail: "Here, don't waste it."

I just checked the studio's accounts yesterday. The salary for "Alien Land 2" has to be paid back to the washing machine. Even the rich lady is not rich now!

Su Chang gritted his teeth: "Liu Yifei! If I could beat you, I would... humph!"

Liu Yifei hugged Su Chang, who was pretending to be angry: "Don't be angry, blame someone else, blame it on you being an artist in the entertainment industry."

"We can't do anything about that big bad guy, so we have no choice but to bully you!"

Yang Siwei and Tang Yan both laughed.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yifei's fan meeting in Hong Kong was held at the Kowloon Bay International Trade and Exhibition Center in Hong Kong.

In 2006, Hopewell Holdings announced the renovation of the shopping mall section of the International Trade and Exhibition Centre and named it EMAX. It has since become a popular venue for meet-and-greets between Korean, Japanese and mainland Chinese celebrities.

Liu Yifei's popularity in Hong Kong began to build up from "The Foreigner", and then TVB's introduction of "Zhu Xian" and the release of "Bad Genius" consolidated her base.

It wasn't until this year when TVB started broadcasting The Return of the Condor Heroes during prime time that its popularity soared to its peak.

Hong Kong movie fans and followers spontaneously formed groups of various sizes. Among them, the more popular one was called the "Tomb Raiders Group", which organized a group of nearly a thousand people to pick them up at the airport on the first day of their trip to Hong Kong.

After singing a few songs from his debut in 2002, the scene began with questions from fans and reporters.

Apple Daily: Ms. Liu Yifei, what's the follow-up to the photo incident with mainland director Lu Kuan in North America? Were there any hidden concerns about your performance on the radio? After all, the influence of mainland China's richest man is immense.

Apple Daily is a typical crooked media in Hong Kong, with British and American shareholders behind it.

Since Lu Laoban made his debut, he has always appeared as a negative character. At first, it was because of the conflicts between the young director and Hong Kong actors, and later it was because of his popularity and expertise.

In this respect, it is similar to Nanfang media.

Xiao Liu is already familiar with this kind of question: "The media should report the facts objectively and impartially."

"The questions asked by the Apple Daily reporter were misleading and inductive, and are typical of conspiracy theories."

"Furthermore, if your newspaper had sufficient sensitivity to news material, it should have known about my meeting with Ms. Wendy Deng at the Peninsula Hotel this morning."

"She apologized to me in person. If you must have a follow-up, this is what you call a follow-up."

One fan was lucky enough to get the chance to ask a question: "Sister Fairy, I have all your movies on Blu-ray and DVD, and I've bought all your movie tickets. I'm a loyal fan."

Concubine Liu Yi smiled and waved at him: "Thank you, what's your name?"

"My online name is Pudding Sauce, and I really want to ask a question. It's been bothering me lately, and I've even been feeling down during the Spring Festival."

"Clam?"

Pudding sauce was a bit shy like a grown-up boy: "Excuse me, Director Lu Kuan said that he is pursuing you... Is it true? Have you agreed?"

Xiao Liu was stunned by the question: "Um... yes, for now we are just ordinary friends."

"My goal has always been to be a good actor, so I won't be distracted too much for now, thank you."

The pursuit of this is a unified public relations statement, and Disney programs such as ABC in North America also use this statement.

However, all the fans in the audience were in an uproar, shouting "It's okay, it's okay", looking like they had survived a disaster. It was quite funny to see everyone, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and interesting.

The two-hour fan meeting ended happily, and Su Chang was chatting with Tang Yan in the backstage.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and a man in a suit came in, followed by two bodyguards.

The two women tilted their heads, and it was obvious that one of them was familiar with the man.

"Mr. Cheng?" Tang Yan's eyes lit up.

"Tang Yan, knowing you were here, I came to pick you up for dinner. Do you honor me?"

Silly Bai Tian said shyly: "Mr. Cheng, I have to have dinner with Xixi tonight. I'm sorry."

This was exactly what Cheng Guoqiang wanted. The future TVB boss said with a hearty laugh, "I've met Ms. Liu before. Why don't I treat you today?"

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Liu, who had returned to the backstage with Yang Siwei with a sweet smile, saw this scene.

Obviously she didn't have a good impression of Cheng Guoqiang.

"This is the backstage of the event. It seems impolite for you to barge in without permission, doesn't it?"

Cheng Guoqiang looked at the girl in front of him with fair skin and cherry-like lips. He thought she was much better than Hong Kong girls. He said with a gentlemanly manner, "Sorry! Sorry! I'm here to take Miss Tang to dinner."

Xiao Liu was too lazy to play along with him: "You can go now, Tang Yan has an appointment tonight."

He then pulled Su Chang and Tang Yan towards the dressing room.

Tang Yan was about to explain and introduce a few more words, but Mia beside her saw that these people were not getting along with their employer, so she stood up and stood between the two groups.

Cheng Guoqiang was obviously mentally prepared for this scene, so he didn't insist. He smiled, said hello, and left.

But looking at this silly and foolish Tang Yan, he had some plans in mind.

In the dressing room, Xiao Liu let her makeup go, and said with concern: "Tangtang, you should stay away from Cheng Guoqiang. He is not a good person."

"I think so too. He looks like he's already forty, right?" Su Chang chimed in.

Tang Yan nodded: "Boss Li of Eagle King and Sister Mani took me to social events. I met him a few times, but I'm not that familiar with him."

"He has a good relationship with Wang Jin and Zeng Zhiwei, and is said to be Li Huanggua's godson..."

Cheng Guoqiang's father secretly undertook Li Huanggua's engineering project and helped him solve many obvious and hidden problems. He also assisted in the management of the company's poorly performing enterprises, turning them from losses to profits, and won Huanggua's praise.

Rumor has it that the Cheng family was involved in the teaching building that Huanggua used to suppress his wife.

Liu Yifei didn't know the ins and outs of this matter. After just two encounters, she knew that this was an entertainment businessman who used money as a tool to manipulate female stars, and she was afraid that her best friend would fall into his trap.

"How are you doing in Eagle King? I haven't even cared."

Tang Yan smiled and said, "That's great. I've been given quite a lot of resources. It's just that Hong Kong is a bit chaotic, so sometimes I have to protect myself."

The naive girl was just too embarrassed to say it. When Huo Wenxi first brought her to meet Boss Tonglu, his original intention was to sacrifice her in exchange for some resources.

However, she later followed the path of a young actress and her development in the film and television industry got on the right track. In addition, the relationship between Tang Yan and Liu Yifei improved, so no one mentioned this matter anymore.

However, if you want to develop in the Hong Kong circle and avoid these dirty things, it is extremely difficult without a certain level of self-control and background.

"Just now when I saw Cheng Guoqiang trying to show his courtesy to Tangtang, I thought of Liangying." Su Chang said with a smile.

"She too, there's a musician named Feng Ke who's a dozen years older than her, and he's been pursuing her like crazy lately."

"Mr. Lu from the agency has clearly told Liangying to be careful. The company won't interfere with her emotional freedom, but she should be careful not to make mistakes."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and said, "You all have no experience in judging people. I'm going to organize a class for my girlfriends someday to teach you how to identify, confront, and fight back against scumbag men!"

Su Chang and Tang Yan looked at each other in bewilderment. The scumbag you were talking about couldn’t be...
