Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 117 The Bone-Scraping Steel Knife! The Second Battle at the Private Cinema: A Winning Streak!
Crash!!!

The moment Zhao Yihuan stepped out of the pool, water cascaded down her waist and hips.

Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
In the instant before she could even steady herself on her feet.

The cobalt blue bikini clung wetly to her undulating curves, water droplets rolling down the gaps in the bra straps, dripping onto the marble edge of the pool...

Lin Xingzhuo looked at the confident and sexy woman in the blue bikini in front of him, who didn't need to hide anything.

In the wake of last year's global financial crisis, amidst global turmoil, everyone wants to tear away the veneer of peace in order to gain control of the world!

At this moment, Lin Xingzhuo understood the true value of the "Southern Yi Huan, Northern Jing Tian, ​​and Zhuang Xinyan who couldn't be made famous" phenomenon from the millennium!
Xia He, the bone-scraping knife!

Color is a steel knife that scrapes your bones!

However, Chinese men are born with an indomitable spirit! Their bones are hard!!

…………

Zhao Yihuan stepped out of the pool and said, "Xingzhuo, I'm still a little nervous. I booked a private cinema on the fifth floor and had my assistant install the projection equipment. Let's go see the premiere of 'The Swindler'!"

Lin Xingzhuo decisively hung up the phone before the conversation was finished and said, "Okay!"

The two went to shower and change clothes separately, and then met up in the tea break area on the fifth floor.

…………

Ten minutes later, Lin Xingzhuo began to wait in the tea break lounge on the fifth floor.

Then... came the long wait...

Lin Xingzhuo even called the concierge on the first floor to ask for help to go to the No. 1 Shuangsi Hutong in Xicheng District, a restaurant specializing in Beijing-style tripe.

I packed a portion of lamb tripe, diluted the sesame paste with Sichuan peppercorn water, added red fermented bean curd and chive blossoms, and had it as a late-night snack.

After finishing his meal, Lin Xingzhuo returned to his room, used a packet of Listerine mouthwash, and played a few rounds of Fruit Ninja.

Thinking that Zhao Yihuan might have gotten the meeting place wrong, she went to the swimming pool on the third floor first.

…………

Back at the pool, I found the cobalt blue bikini lying on the bathroom counter, the soaked bra cups still showing their rounded indentations.

Water droplets slid down the end of the ribbon, leaving a small damp patch on the cool tiles.

…………

At this moment, Zhao Yihuan's assistant came to the pool with a swimsuit net bag and was stunned when she saw Lin Xingzhuo.

Lin Xingzhuo said, "Yihuan invited me to see a movie, but I waited for her at the tea break area on the fifth floor and thought she had forgotten the meeting place and had gone back to the swimming pool on the third floor."

Lin Xingzhuo's past experiences in office politics have instilled in him a deep-seated passive skill: "take the initiative, avoid proving yourself, and never engage in internal strife."

The assistant sounded a little disappointed after hearing Lin Xingzhuo's words.

She was hoping Lin Xingzhuo would do something to the swimsuit, so that her artist's position as the top female star at Tiger Shadow Star would be completely secure.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
"Brother Zhuo, Yi Huan has been washing up in her room."

The assistant said while cleaning up the wet bikini:
"When I went to the fifth floor to set up the Sony MX25 projector, she was applying Artistry serum... um... it should be soon."

"Why don't you go check out room 809?"

Seeing the expectant tone in his assistant's voice, Lin Xingzhuo said, "I'll wait for her in the tea break area on the fifth floor."

…………

Lin Xingzhuo returned to the tea break area on the fifth floor.

At this moment, Zhao Yihuan, who had put on light makeup and perfume, appeared in front of Lin Xingzhuo.

Mmm! It smells so good! Makeup really does absorb flavor if you leave it on for too long!

And nightgowns definitely give people a different feeling!
The black stockings are just a bit too obvious...

Female benefactor, are you planning to eat people tonight?!
........................

In the Guomao business district, on the fifth floor of Apartment 1 in Fudi Capital, there was a private cinema. Lin Xingzhuo and Zhao Yihuan were lying on an electric sofa, watching the images projected on the screen.

Even though they had both dried themselves off, there was still a sticky feeling between them.

First, get close, hold hands, put your arm around my shoulder, kiss...

Zhao Yihuan was quite familiar with this process. She pressed herself against Lin Xingzhuo and whispered:

"Is there any wine?"

"I love kissing someone by the neck after I'm slightly tipsy at night; that kind of ambiguous feeling really drives me crazy..."

Lin Xingzhuo took out a small bottle of mixed Red Star Erguotou and handed it to Zhao Yihuan.

Bad guy!!
Zhao Yihuan rolled her eyes at Lin Xingzhuo, took a small sip herself, then held another in her mouth, kissed him, and used the tip of her tongue to transfer the liquid...

…………

Click! Hiss!
Just as Lin Xingzhu was savoring the effects of the alcohol, the door to the private cinema was pushed open!
A beam of intense light shone down!

Damn it! Someone walked in with a flashlight!!

…………

As Zhao Yihuan was fixing her hair, she saw Mao Xiaotong wearing DreamWorks' "Prince of Egypt" co-branded pajamas and said irritably, "What are you doing here?"

Mao Xiaotong turned off her flashlight, sat down on the other side of Lin Xingzhuo, and said, "I heard that the private cinema is showing the first film and television IP invested by the company today, so I came over!"

Zhao Yihuan was a little angry and said, "No! I reserved a private viewing mode, why are you coming in?"

Mao Xiaotong knew she was in the wrong, so she tried to explain, "Is it because your acting is so bad that you're embarrassed to let your colleagues see it? That's why you booked the private viewing mode?"

Zhao Yihuan, of course, knew that her own background as a graduate of Shanghai Normal University meant she was at a significant disadvantage in acting compared to someone like Mao Xiaotong, who had formal training and had spent two years as an extra. So she changed the subject, saying:
"What do you mean by 'terrible acting'? At least I have this one film, what about you?"

Mao Xiaotong said, "I've also acted in 'The Goddess Detective' and 'Beauty's Rival in Palace'!"

Zhao Yihuan immediately retorted: "Does that count even if it wasn't aired? And is being tied to a pillar considered acting? Was this a Japanese movie?"

Mao Xiaotong immediately exploded: "You!!!"

Lin Xingzhuo quickly quelled the internal strife, interrupting, "It's starting, let's watch together!"

…………

Last time they argued about separating rooms, Zhao Yihuan won strategically but lost tactically.

Feeling she had been taken advantage of, she went back to review the incident, even creating a mind map, and had her assistant look up Mao Xiaotong's embarrassing moments while filming in Yunze City.

This time, in their second battle at the private cinema, they finally won!

…………

Mao Xiaotong only suffered a minor defeat because Zhao Yihuan was clearly well-prepared.

Lin Xingzhu recalled his past life when he reviewed the show "In Treatment" that iQiyi had imported, which included psychological analysis of people like Mao Xiaotong.

Those who dare to argue, dare to have conflicts, dare to be assertive, dare to be impolite, and dare to be shameless.

Those are the truly capable people; they have the ability to handle conflict, and even more importantly, the ability to clean up the mess.

The elevator door incident from back then.

Mao Xiaotong's handling of the aftermath of moving in four hours does indeed align with psychological analysis.

…………
