Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 93: A slap in the face
It is said that living in a place changes one's spirit and nourishing one's body changes one's body.

No matter how rotten his inner self is, this young official's outward appearance is still quite impressive.

He was wearing a high-end Italian Brioni suit today, with his hair combed neatly. He gently shook off the Rolex watch chain that had slipped off and followed Cheng Jingfei to the table.

Ning Hao's face looked very unhappy. Apart from Lu Kuan, he was the only one present who knew the inside story.

Lu Kuan had just returned from a toast in the private room and smiled at Cheng Jingfei, "Mr. Cheng didn't come empty-handed today. He even brought a gift!"

Liu Yifei chuckled, then quickly pursed her lips and sat up straight. In the past, it was always her and Boss Lu who were bickering with each other, but this time, it was quite interesting to sit in the audience and watch him talk nonsense to others.

Liu Zeyu's face was calm, letting him show off his eloquence. The winner always has to show some attitude.

Wait until you find out that I was the one who snatched over "Chinese Paladin", and see how you'll be upset!

His eyes could not move away from Concubine Liu Yi, and they roamed greedily over the little girl, making her feel a sudden chill.

Cheng Jingfei's eyes flickered at what Lu Kuan said. As a businessman, he quickly realized that the two might have a grudge.

There's nothing to be done about the grudge. If it were any other leader's child, he wouldn't be so aggressive. This guy is strangling him.

Especially industries like real estate that rely heavily on land policies and bank loans.

After all, his background is not in the entertainment industry, so when Liu Zeyu and Wang Xiaolei found him together, this seemingly wealthy real estate developer had no choice but to keep a low profile and take whatever they wanted.

The people do not fight with the officials, and businessmen are even less so.

Cheng Jingfei was a man of the moment. He raised his glass to toast Lu Kuan, a shareholder of Red Star Wood and the director of this film, and then smiled and made a circle with everyone, showing the style of a business elite.

Everyone got to know each other better, and the young yamenei felt secretly happy when he saw Lu Kuan with a bad look on his face.

In the afternoon, he went to talk to Cheng Jingfei about the project establishment of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and inviting Liu Yifei to be the heroine. He also asked Wang Xiaolei to mention the matter of investing in Hongxingwu in a gentle manner.

Although Cheng Jingfei has not yet given in, he is obviously tempted, especially considering the help he can bring to him in the real estate industry.

When he learned from Cheng Jingfei that Lu Kuan was holding a wrap-up party today, he decisively asked his colleagues to attend.

This was to avenge the boss who had caused a scene at the press conference on Xiangjiang Road, making him and Eagle King embarrassed!
"Director Lu, congratulations on wrapping up the film. Tingfeng's "Heartstrings" is also about to enter post-production. We'll see how it pans out in the market then!"

Lu Kuan smiled without comment, but Concubine Liu Yi was a little angry with her eyebrows raised.

It turns out you were the one causing trouble!
Whoever benefits is the mastermind, and it is not difficult for her to judge this.

The young master politely picked up the cup and took a taxi to Liu Xiaoli's side.

"Hello, Aunt Liu. Tangren and I are about to start a Xianxia drama project, and we want a young girl around fifteen or sixteen for the female lead."

"I'm sorry to bother you today, but I also wanted to see if Yi Fei has any role ideas. After all, her image and age are very suitable for the character."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and gestured to the little girl from a distance, his every move looking like a film and television tycoon eager to recruit talents.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Cheng Jingfei in surprise. Who was this young man he brought with him?
To steal the show at someone else's film wrap party is not just presumptuous, it's rude.

Cheng Jingfei also walked over cooperatively and whispered a few words to Liu Xiaoli who had just stood up.

"Really? It turns out Mr. Liu and Huayi are collaborating?"

Liu Xiaoli's face brightened up from the cloudy days, and she raised her glass politely and clinked glasses with Liu Zeyu. Then, together with Cheng Jingfei, the other two walked to the side and chatted happily.

"Damn it! This is too much! It was this grandson who caused trouble last time."

Ning Hao couldn't catch his breath and started cursing in anger.

Tian Zhuangzhuang disliked socializing and left early. Now the table was occupied by the main creative team, and upon hearing this, they all looked unkindly at the three people chatting and laughing in the distance.

The political and business resources represented by Liu Zeyu are much broader than those of a rookie who has just finished shooting his first film with great difficulty.

This multiple-choice question is not difficult for Liu Xiaoli and Cheng Jingfei. Besides, is it necessary to choose a single answer?

Lu Kuan is already a shareholder of Hongxingwu, so he is naturally happy to see various resources tilted towards Xixi. This is not a conflict.

Concubine Liu Yi lowered her head bitterly, feeling very uncomfortable and aggrieved.

She didn't understand why her godfather and mother did this.

The last time the crew faced collapse, it was because they slowed down the equity change procedures and waited for a good price.

Now that the suspected culprit Liu Zeyu has appeared, I don’t know what olive branch he has thrown out that can make them ignore Lu Kuan’s feelings.

Although the remaining crew members at the table did not blame this naive little girl, she herself felt helpless as she was being looked at and rejected by everyone.

If I were eighteen now, I could make my own decisions.

For the first time, this thought occurred to the naive little girl. She stole a glance at Lu Kuan, fearing that he would hate her too.

"Xixi, come here with the teacup."

Liu Xiaoli turned around and greeted her daughter with a smile on her face, as if she had picked up money on the street.

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head away with a dark face and protested silently.

"This kid!"

Liu Xiaoli didn't know what was wrong with her and wanted to come over and call her.

How could Liu Zeyu miss this opportunity to act like a dog licker? He walked over with a smile and a cup.

"Hello, Yifei, I just talked to Aunt Liu, and I think this new work, Sugar Man, is very suitable for you. I think..."

"no thank you."

Ning Hao was secretly pleased and said sarcastically, "Hey Mr. Liu, please stop talking nonsense here. No girl would bother with you if you haven't seen anyone!"

Cheng Jingfei glanced disapprovingly at the short-haired photographer and said to Lu Kuan with a smile, "Director Lu, you are also a shareholder of Red Star Studio. What do you think about this matter?"

Haha, after you three have discussed it, you come to ask for my opinion. This is not respect, this is forcing the emperor to abdicate.

"Ning Hao, take everyone to toast."

Boss Lu was furious. Today, he not only wanted to continue to attack Liu Zeyu's Bilian, but also wanted to teach Cheng Jingfei and Liu Xiaoli, two short-sighted guys, a lesson to prevent them from causing trouble for him in the future.

He glanced at the little girl sitting motionless on the side and said, "Xiao Liu, you should go too."

"I'm not going. What you guys are talking about is about me. I want to listen."

Concubine Liu Yi knew that his current situation was very unfavorable and wanted to stay and help him.

Lu Kuan sighed secretly in his heart. It is said that no one would scold a father in front of his son, but today he is going to scold a mother in front of his daughter.

Liu Zeyu didn't care when he saw that he had dismissed everyone. Anyway, Liu Yifei and the other two were there. Today he wanted to make Lu Kuan lose face in front of them and kill his arrogance!
