I, holding the script, kidnapped the male protagonist's benefactor

Hou Bei followed Ji Jingming into the room inside the box.

A group of people were sitting at the dinner table, including Director Chen whom Ji Jingming had mentioned before, as well as capital tycoons who invested in TV dramas.

In addition to the investors of Director Chen's drama, everyone else except a few subordinates are also investors in the entertainment industry.

At this time, a group of people were toasting each other, with cigarettes in their hands.

Soon someone discovered the existence of Ji Jingming and Hou Bei.

"Who are these two?"

Ji Jingming quickly took out his business card and handed it to the other party with both hands, "Hello, my name is Ji Jingming, I am the agent of Zou Yingdi Studio. The one next to me is Hou Bei, and she is the artist I am currently managing."

The man just glanced at his business card but didn't take it, with a half-smile on his face.

It seems to be saying that if you weren't the agent of Actor Zou's studio, I wouldn't even look at you now, let alone accept your business card.

Ji Jingming looked embarrassed, but it only lasted for a second.

People in their line of work come into contact with a lot of people on a daily basis, and it is inevitable that some of them may be arrogant and look down on others.

Director Chen stepped out to smooth things over, "Boss Wu, I was the one who called them here."

Mr. Wu was the first person to speak.

"Your name is Hou Bei? It's a nice name." He Weiping, who was sitting next to Mr. Wu, spoke.

He is the biggest investor in Director Chen's TV series, and he was also the one who asked Hou Bei to come here to meet them.

Ji Jingming quickly hinted to Hou Bei to speak.

At this time, Hou Bei's face was pale and his mind was blank.

She still couldn't get used to this kind of occasion.

Ji Jingming was extremely anxious when he saw that she had no response.

Didn't I give you numerous instructions before you came, but you still failed at the critical moment?

Ji Jingming had no choice but to take over the conversation himself: "Mr. He, thank you for the compliment. This is my first time in such an occasion, so I am bound to be a little nervous."

He Weiping took a puff of his cigar, and as he puffed out smoke, the smile on his face disappeared for the most part.

"Nervous? No, that won't do. If you want to stay in this industry, you will encounter more and more situations like this in the future."

"Mr. He is right. Besides, there is no free lunch in the world." Mr. Wu said calmly.

Ji Jingming's face looked a little ugly. Although he had expected to be troubled, he now only hoped that Hou Bei could hold on.

He was helpless. The entertainment industry was a world of capital. If he wanted to gain a foothold here, he could only find a way to establish good relations with capital.

"Hou Bei, we are going to toast Mr. He and Mr. Wu."

Ji Jingming raised his hand and gently patted Hou Bei's shoulder.

Hou Bei couldn't see the expressions of Mr. He and Mr. Wu through the hazy smoke.

But she knew that they never took artists seriously.

She had known this result clearly three years ago.

She had already paid the price three years ago, and now she couldn't bear the same consequences again.

There was a roar in my ears.

Hou Bei took the wine glass handed to her by Ji Jingming and walked over woodenly. She heard her own voice.

"Mr. He, I'll toast you a glass."

I thought I could just bear with it, but when a hand touched her butt and said jokingly that young girls have good skin, unlike us rough guys.

She couldn't bear it any longer and accidentally knocked over the wine glass in her hand because of the trembling.

All the wine spilled on Mr. He, who was closest to him, and the wine glass smashed to the ground with a clang, breaking into pieces of splattered glass.

Then came the sound that Ji Yu heard outside.

Mr. He, who had lost face on the spot, had a gloomy face and overturned the plate in front of him.

Hou Bei stood on the ground full of broken glass and ceramics, his face as pale as paper and his body trembling slightly with fear.

This scene brought her back to three years ago.

At that time, she had just debuted and had not experienced the dark side of society, so she was more scared than she is now.

She hoped someone would help her, but no, not a single one.

Even her agent who was supposed to be on her side.

Not only did he not stand on her side, he was also the culprit who pushed her into the abyss.

"Mr. He, what do you mean?"

Just when Hou Bei felt despair, Ji Jingming spoke with a grim look on his face.

He suppressed his anger and stared at Mr. He.

Mr. He sneered and bit the cigar in his mouth: "Mr. Wu is right, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world."

Ji Jingming looked at Director Chen.

He knew that there were many unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, but because Director Chen had already agreed to his request, he thought coming here was just a formality.

If he had known that Mr. He had ill intentions, he would never have brought Hou Bei here.

Director Chen shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Mr. He is the investor of his TV series. If he offends him, Mr. He will withdraw his investment, which will not be worth it.

He would not offend investors for a small artist.

Ji Jingming's heart sank. It was finally going to develop into the worst possible outcome.

Ji Jingming walked forward, picked up a clean wine glass on the table, and poured a glass of white wine into it.

"In that case, I wish the TV series invested by Mr. He will be a big hit."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

Putting down the wine glass, he turned around and took Hou Bei away.

Hou Bei stared at Ji Jingming in surprise.

"Did I let you go?" Mr. He suddenly asked.

Ji Jingming stopped and looked back with a frown: "Boss He, are you still trying to force the sale?"

"No one in my territory has ever dared to offend me, He Weiping. You don't think that you can leave this box without paying any price just by doing these things, do you?"

Mr. He pressed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray, his eyes revealing a bit of viciousness.

"Mr. He, why don't you tell me what you did yourself?"

Since the relationship had already fallen out, Ji Jingming no longer tried to please them.

"How about everyone take a step back? You all just want a role. In this way, let this little girl named Hou Bei toast Mr. He again and be a little nicer. Then, not only will she be the third female lead, but she may even be the first female lead."

Mr. Wu seemed to be trying to smooth things over with a smile, but everyone knew what he meant.

Once they compromise, they will certainly face more than just a toast.

"No need, we don't want this role anymore."

Ji Jingming refused without hesitation. Even though the other party did not make excessive demands, he did not really want Hou Bei to join such a crew.

With investors like this, you don’t know what you will face after joining the team.

If the other party wants to cause trouble in the future, it will be easy for them.

However, it is not so easy for artists who have signed a contract to withdraw.

These words undoubtedly hit the sore spot of investors.

"You are shameless." Mr. He snorted coldly and glanced at his men.

Several of Mr. He's men blocked their way.

Someone even tried to attack directly, but before that person touched Hou Bei, Ji Yu grabbed his wrist.

"We live in a society ruled by law now, so just keep your words to yourself and don't use your hands or anything."
