Chapter 108 Hatred Should Not Be Let Out Overnight

the other side.

After fleeing the scene on her bicycle, Jiang Shan did not return to the Beijing People's Art Theatre, but went directly to the small hotel rented by Xu Fan.

Xu Fan was packing her luggage in the room—Guan Hu had called her to say that the film crew would be heading to Tianjin for filming the next morning.

Hearing the knock, Xu Fan went to open the door and found Jiang Shan standing outside, sweating profusely. He was taken aback and asked, "How did you find me?"

"He Bing told me."

As Jiang Shan spoke, she unceremoniously squeezed into the house, took off her coat, and said, "Can I take a shower in your bathroom?"

"I can, but you..."

"Let me finish my shower first!"

Jiang Shan took off her outer pants and went straight into the bathroom.

After locking the door, she gave herself a triumphant smile in the mirror and muttered to herself, "Once you offend me, nobody's going to have a good time!"

However, when her gaze fell upon the smooth walls of the bathroom, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

Damn!

How could I have forgotten about the photos?!

That scoundrel wouldn't send the photos to the Beijing People's Art Theatre in a fit of anger, would he?!

She instantly went from smug to anxious, and spent a long time in the bathroom thinking about how to resolve the situation.

If it weren't for this morning's retaliatory actions, she could have openly demanded the negatives.

But now that they've already cursed and shouted, and even smashed Zhang Yan's new car, it's obvious that Zhang Yan won't easily hand over those photos.

How to do? !

Am I supposed to just give in to him?!

"Knock knock knock~"

Just then, Xu Fan's voice came from outside: "Jiang Shan? Are you alright?"

She couldn't hear any water coming from inside, so she couldn't help but feel uneasy, wondering if Chen Hong had done something really bad to Jiang Shan, and Jiang Shan had run here in a moment of despair...

"I am fine."

Jiang Shan snapped out of her daze and thought to herself that there was no point in thinking about it too much, and that there would always be a way out, so she should just focus on the present.

So she took a shower as planned, dried her hair, and then took the initiative to sit on the bed.

Then he said to Xu Fan seriously, "I've been thinking about this for several days. I was too stubborn before. There are many good men in this world. What is there for us to fight over?"

"Just focus on getting into the production crew. If you want to pursue Zhang Yan, go ahead. If you need anything, I can lend you a hand."

She outwardly adopted a magnanimous and reconciling demeanor, but inwardly she sneered: Go ahead and chase after them, then you'll see just how hateful those two scoundrels really are!

"you……"

Xu Fan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately became alert.

If she hadn't reported it to Chen Hong, she might have been skeptical of Jiang Shan's overtures, but given the current situation, it's almost certain that Jiang Shan had been thwarted and was trying to trick her into the same trap.

Having figured this out, Xu Fan shook his head calmly and said, "I told you, it's all a misunderstanding. I have no feelings for Zhang Yan whatsoever."

"Don't you have any ideas?"

Jiang Shan almost couldn't hold back and jumped out of bed. She thought to herself, "If you didn't have any ideas, you almost got into a fight with me. If you did have ideas, wouldn't you have gone to kill and set fires?"
Xu Fan said with 'sincere sincerity': 'I lost control of my emotions that day because you kept pressuring me and said similar things to Wang Zhiwen.'

real or fake?

Jiang Shan was full of suspicion and instinctively didn't believe it, but Xu Fan's words did make sense.

She was at a loss for what to do. Should she continue to encourage Xu Fan to pursue Zhang Yan and get stuck in this mess, or...?

At this point, Xu Fan took the initiative to talk about his school days. Jiang Shan was initially a little absent-minded, but gradually she also became engrossed in her memories.

She had been running around all night without sleeping, and while they were chatting, she lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

This woman...

Xu Fan covered her with a blanket, looking down at her face full of collagen, and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. Jiang Shan's biggest problem was that she was too self-centered. Although she wasn't stupid, she couldn't help but do some stupid things.

She continued packing her luggage, and by the time she finished, it was almost 10 o'clock.

Seeing Jiang Shan still fast asleep on the bed, Xu Fan simply went to the living room and paged Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan called back shortly after. After Xu Fan briefly explained the situation, Zhang Yan was immediately amused. Jiang Shan really didn't hold grudges overnight; she had just smashed his car, and the next day she was coming after Xu Fan.

Considering that Xu Fan had warned Chen Hong beforehand, Zhang Yan vaguely reminded her, "She's obviously trying to trick you... cough, anyway, it's a misunderstanding, right?"

Hearing Zhang Yan say this, Xu Fan was certain that Jiang Shan had suffered a loss, but she didn't want to ask too many questions about how she had suffered a loss. So she smiled and said, "Of course, when you get to the group, I'll have to keep an eye on you for Chen Hong."

"I won't be on set often; I have a lot of things to do at the TV station."

We chatted for a few minutes and then hung up.

Zhang Yan shook his head inwardly. Was all of this really a misunderstanding? If it was a misunderstanding, how could he explain the wet marks on his back back back then?

However, judging from Xu Fan's current attitude, this matter is not a misunderstanding, and it is now a misunderstanding.

It can only be said that Xu Fan was smarter than Jiang Shan, knowing when to cut his losses.

During lunch, Zhang Yan received a call from Guo Chuanlin, who said that he had found some young male escorts and arranged to meet them at the Casablanca nightclub at 3 p.m.

So Zhang Yan took the car to a nearby repair shop and then took a bus to Gongzhufen.

…………

Casablanca cabaret.

One of the most influential performance venues in Beijing in the early 1990s, it now mainly features rock music and breakdancing, with occasional pop singers performing on stage. It is considered a 'holy land' by young artists who have migrated to Beijing for artistic pursuits.

These kinds of venues are usually more lively at night.

But today was different. Starting from 2 p.m., customers began to arrive one after another, half of whom were gigolos and the other half were singers.

Although none of them are particularly famous, the large number of people gathered together clearly indicates that there is some kind of large-scale event.

At least that's what Wong Jing-hua thinks.

This future top agent in China, who first clashed with Huayi Brothers and then with Orange Sky Entertainment, is currently just an unknown, unemployed young man struggling in Beijing.

She graduated from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, majoring in martial arts roles, but after graduation she returned to her hometown and never had a chance to make a name for herself.

So not long ago, she gritted her teeth and resigned to start her own business, preparing to return to Beijing to try her luck.

Sure enough, once we arrived in the capital, we actually encountered an opportunity.

Just a few days after I arrived, my old classmate Zhang Jinglin, who played Qingwen in the 87 version of Dream of the Red Chamber, took the initiative to visit me.

It is said that her husband, Su Yue, who wrote "The Loess Plateau," has recently made contact with a Hong Kong record company and is preparing to set up a subsidiary in mainland China. He hopes that Wang Jinghua can go to the record company to help.

At first, Wang Jinghua thought they were going to release a record for her, but she was excited for nothing. She found out that they were interested in her daring, hardworking, and meticulous personality and wanted her to be a manager for the record company's signed artists.

Of course, Zhang Jinglin was referring to her agent.

However, what this agent does is no different from what a talent agent does: helping artists find performances and trying to make a name for themselves.

Wang Jinghua was no stranger to the role of a "broker" (or "middleman"). In the past, when she went to the countryside to perform operas and earn extra money, she relied on brokers to act as intermediaries.

But to say that we're very familiar with each other is definitely not true.

Furthermore, the burial sites in my hometown and those in Beijing may not be the same thing.

So she was a little unsure of herself, so before Su Yue's record company opened, she went to various nightclubs in Beijing and asked any easy-going people a bunch of questions.

Of course, Wang Jinghua mainly went during the day and evening, since these places were not very safe at night, and even though she had some martial arts skills, she did not dare to go there alone.

She has a straightforward temperament and is a young woman, so she rarely encounters setbacks and succeeds more often. Even if the other party realizes that she wants to enter the industry, they are more or less willing to give her some pointers.

Seeing that the scene was quite large, Wang Jinghua found a good-natured person and went up to inquire, "Brother Xu, the scene is quite large today, what's the story behind it?"

Because she deliberately spoke vaguely, "Brother Xu" immediately misunderstood, glanced at her sideways and said, "Wow, you've already entered the industry so quickly? Today is a great opportunity. The person who organized this gathering is Brother Guo, and behind him is Zhang Yan from Tianjin—the writer who sang death rock with Black Panther and Tang Dynasty."

After Xu Ge finished speaking, seeing Wang Jinghua's bewildered expression, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "He Zhe, you don't even know about this?"

"I know Black Panther!"

"Pshaw, what good is that?"

Xu Ge then changed his tune: "Zhang Yan is the screenwriter of 'Tianjin Wei' and a bestselling author. He's nicknamed 'Little Wang Shuo' and I heard he's very popular in Tianjin, especially with the TV station's leaders!"
He recently collaborated with Taiwanese people on a rock album, which caused a sensation in the entire rock scene—and that's when he got the idea to start a record company, which is why he publicly selected a talent scout at Old Card.

Everyone came here today specifically for him, and quite a few people want to recommend their own singers to him.

Although Wang Jinghua had never heard of Zhang Yan, she had watched "Tianjin Wei" and heard of the album "China Fire".

It seems this person will become Su Yue's rival in the future.

Wang Jinghua hesitated for a moment, then decided to stay and broaden her horizons. Firstly, she wanted to learn about her opponent in advance so that she could know herself and her enemy; secondly, she also wanted to take the opportunity to ask about the treatment so that she could negotiate with Su Yue later.
