Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 94: Rectifying Red Star Wood

There were only four people from Hongxingwu and Liu Zeyu, who was causing trouble, left at the main table.

The young master leisurely picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, enjoying the winner settlement time.

He finally understood how cool it was when Lu Kuan made a scene at the Eagle King press conference in front of so many reporters. Pretending to be cool is really addictive!
He glanced at the unmoving Lu Kuan with satisfaction. "You're sweating like crazy, right? And you're still pretending!"

"Director Lu, don't try to be calm. I've already bought 'Chinese Paladin'. I know you're also a shareholder of Red Star Studio. Why don't you sit down and talk about cooperation?"

Then he politely smiled at Concubine Liu Yi, who was glaring at him, and said, "Anyway, this is all for Concubine Yi's acting career, right, Ms. Liu?"

Liu Xiaoli was not blind and could of course see that Lu Kuan was in a bad mood, but for the sake of her daughter she had to speak up to smooth the situation over.

"Director Lu, there may be some misunderstandings between you and Mr. Liu. Why don't you just talk it out today? It's all for the good of the company."

We are all shareholders of Hongxingwu. I believe that Lu Kuan originally asked for shares and provided resources in order to make money, right?
Boss Lu: Yes, but not entirely...

Lu Kuan shook his head calmly, "Mr. Cheng, Ms. Liu, next time you're looking for a partner, you'd better be more discerning and don't hire just anyone."

"The last time we couldn't film our movie and sent people to cause a scene on the set, it was this Mr. Liu."

"You didn't know before, but now that I've told you, do you still want to continue cooperating with him?"

Liu Zeyu angrily scolded: "Lu Kuan, you are boring now, right? It is normal to use deception in the business world. It is better to stick to the facts!"

Cheng Jingfei's face was a little uncertain. He felt that Lu Kuan was indeed talented and had some inexplicable mystery about him, but he was still too immature.

For businessmen, profit is the first priority.

Now Liu Zeyu is here to invest in the company's artists with his works and Huayi film contracts. No matter what grudges you had before, you should let them go first.

If you rashly expose these feuds, you will not only fail to achieve your goal, but will also embarrass the shareholders of Hongxingwu.

He somewhat regretted agreeing to let Lu Kuan acquire shares. Obviously, Liu Zeyu was a more suitable candidate.

"Xiaolu, this concerns the development of Xixi and Red Star Wood, so let's put the overall situation first!"

Lu Kuan smiled at him contemptuously, not taking this mainland tycoon who was famous for being a "pig-killer" seriously at all.

"The big picture? What is the big picture?"

The young director stood up and approached Liu Zeyu, saying bluntly, "I've said it before, 'despicable' is the epitaph of the despicable. You think you've cut off my beard, don't you?"

The young yamen was so frightened by his lightning-like momentum that he asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

Lu Kuan was too lazy to watch him succeed, so he turned around and called Ning Hao, "Go to the private room where I just went to toast, call Wang Yongle over, and bring the contract documents for "Chinese Paladin."

Sun Wenwen, Zhuang Xu, and Wang Yongle arrived at the wrap-up banquet hotel earlier than the crew. Lu Kuan had already met with him and signed the contract, and was now waiting for the cash that Huang Pi would send from Hong Kong.

I looked at my watch. My flight was at 5:3 and would take less than hours. I should have left the international airport by now.

Cheng Jingfei and Liu Xiaoli were both a little surprised and confused. They certainly didn't know the inside story, but when they saw Liu Zeyu going to the side with a grim expression to make a phone call, they knew that something must have happened.

Zhuang Xu did not show up, and Sun Wenwen, who had short hair, brought Wang Yongle to the main table.

"Mr. Wang, let me introduce you. These two are shareholders of my company. The female lead for your film 'Chinese Paladin' is tentatively designated as the daughter of Ms. Liu."

Wang Yongle was in a very excited mood and drank a lot of wine in the evening.

The adaptation rights purchased for hundreds of thousands of yuan were sold for 250 million yuan, which is four or five times the price. Isn't this another way for a gambler to turn things around?
"Haha, hello, this is the girl! She's perfect! Absolutely perfect!"

He blinked at Lu Kuan again and said, "Boss Lu is really capable. He is willing to spend millions to support his girlfriend..." Boss Lu interrupted him quickly. Liu Xiaoli is still here. Don't tell the truth!
"Boss Wang, go back and have a drink first. I'll come over after the wrap party."

"Okay, okay! Enjoy your meal, everyone!"

Liu Zeyu also came back after making the call. Of course, Zhang Jian had received the news a long time ago, but Wang Yongle had already been taken to the hotel by Zhuang Xu and Sun Wenwen arranged by Lu Kuan.

When his secretary rushed over with a huge sum of money, the Wang family had already left.

The young master's face turned ashen, like a frost-bitten eggplant. He whispered a few words to Cheng Jingfei and Liu Xiaoli and then fled.

As anxious as a dog which has lost its home, as frightened as a fish which has escaped the net.

How could Ning Hao miss the opportunity to give the man a beating when he was down, so he rushed forward in one step.

"Boss Liu, tonight is our crew's wrap-up party. This restaurant charges 300 per person. Would you mind paying for it?"

"you!"

The young master pointed his finger at him fiercely, signaling him to just wait and see. He threw down a few banknotes and pushed open the door of the hotel. Behind him was a burst of laughter from the crew and the onlookers.

Concubine Liu Yi looked at Lu Kuan with her beautiful eyes shining brightly, and felt extremely happy in her heart.

She felt that Lu Kuan was like the knight in the poem who killed one person every ten steps. He would slap someone in the face on the spot and would never wait for revenge!

Cheng Jingfei has always been adaptable. He smiled, took the bottle, filled his own glass, and walked to Lu Kuan.

"Director Lu, congratulations! You've landed another excellent TV drama project. Here's a glass of wine..."

Boss Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Cheng, there's no rush to drink. We need to make things clear first."

Young director Shi Shiran glanced at him and Liu Xiaoli and said, "I heard that Mr. Cheng has always admired the elderly the most. There is a portrait of him in the office. There is a poem that you must know."

"It's always better to take a broad view of things."

"But your actions during this period seem to be somewhat contrary to this poem, right?"

Liu Xiaoli was a little embarrassed and at a loss. After all, she was not as thick-skinned as a businessman like Cheng Jingfei.

Cheng Jingfei was stunned at the right moment: "Brother, where did you get that from? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Boss Lu slammed the table and stood up at the right moment: "Misunderstanding?!"

"It's only been a few days since Whiplash resumed filming, and Red Star Studio's shareholder change procedures have already been completed. I can just call it a coincidence."

"I just told you clearly that Liu Zeyu was the mastermind behind the delay in filming. What's your attitude?"

"Have you ever respected the opinions of me, a shareholder of Red Star Wood?"

Liu Xiaoli was so anxious that tears were about to come out. She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.

She didn't know that her own daughter had been the first to defect to the enemy out of a sense of justice while still on the crew...

There is a saying that goes, "If you get close to someone, you will become disrespectful." Lu Kuan was used to laughing and joking with everyone on weekdays, so Liu Xiaoli only thought of him as a 20-year-old young man.

Unexpectedly, the questioning that came out of the slam of the table was so powerful that it shocked even a slick businessman like Cheng Jingfei.
