325: Chapter 304: Entertainment Tycoon 325: Chapter 304: Entertainment Tycoon “Eh! You there, with the flowers, come over here and fix these lilies, will you? What’s going on with these? Our new chairman is about to arrive, can we please be a little professional?” shouted a staff member, beckoning Liu Hun over. The staff member called Liu Hun over, and he left right away. How would Liu Hun know how to arrange lilies? He just did it carelessly since the person being welcomed was himself, so it didn’t matter how it was done. This top level, wow, it’s really something! Definitely worthy of the entertainment industry—far superior to Hu Group’s top-level meeting room in terms of artistic flair and aesthetic appeal, and it’s even semi-open-air. Flowers bloomed in dense clumps, vibrant and colorful. Apart from all sorts of entertainment and food and drinks, naturally, there were all manner of celebrity guests, and at a glance, all the big names were there. Although Liu Hun didn’t recognize a couple of them, he still felt pretty good about his own face value. These faces, which one could usually only catch a glimpse of on television, were now genuinely right in front of him. However, Liu Hun, used to seeing beauties, preferred to admire a pair of legs instead. And let me tell you, the money stars spend on their figures and maintenance is no joke, and the results speak for themselves. “Shixi, you really need to think it over. Nandou may look impressive now, but don’t forget the old saying: all that glitters is not gold!” a woman with curly hair said, walking towards the table next to Liu Hun with another woman. An Shixi had soft, flowing hair and a sweet, cute appearance, just like the fragile and delicate character she often played on TV shows—someone who would either get leukemia or be hit by a car. She was going for the sickly sweet image. “Sister Liu Zhen, I have a ten-year contract with Nandou Studio. Do you know how expensive lawyers are these days? If Nandou uses its financial power to drag this out, and at the same time blacklist me, then do I stand a chance?” An Shixi said to the long-haired beauty beside her. That woman looked like a sly fox, probably the one who played the ‘Empress’ in that drama. Could it be she was planning some mischief? A modern-day palace drama. Liu Hun stood by the lush lilies, listening. Although he didn’t watch those TV series, the women around him certainly did. Liu Zhen laughed at An Shixi and said, “Silly girl, talking about Liu Hun? He can’t even make a dent in Nandou, let alone manage operations. That’s nonsense! Moreover, Nandou’s only hope, Nan Zhu, has been overshadowed by a cunning agent, and the internal struggles have been severe for more than just a day or two. I see Nandou falling apart sooner or later. You might want to think about your exit strategy.” An Shixi thought it over, still hesitant. Liu Zhen saw her hesitation and continued, “Still unsure? I’m getting anxious for you! Look at Xu Bingbing, everyone calls her ‘Sister Bingbing’ with respect, and what kind of car did the studio get for her, and what did they get for you? It doesn’t bother you, but it bothers me!” Being upset on someone else’s behalf, quite the instigator indeed, mumbled Liu Hun to himself. “I am upset, but what can I do?” An Shixi said, as she picked up a glass of red wine from the table and downed it in one gulp. With a quick thought, Liu Zhen said to An Shixi, “Girl, I’m not pushing you. But we have to let out this breath of annoyance, right?” “What do you propose?” An Shixi asked Liu Zhen. Liu Zhen came here to be a troublemaker, first to embarrass Nandou Studio and then, certainly, to poach some talent. Liu Zhen glanced around, saw no one watching, then pulled out a small white paper packet from her bag and said, “Xu Bingbing is over there, let’s go offer her a drink.” “What’s that?” An Shixi asked with some hesitation. “Something to help clear her intestines, she’ll feel great today!” Liu Zhen said with a venomous smile. “If we get caught, we’ll be in trouble, and we’ll be up for a lawsuit,” An Shixi wasn’t nearly as bold and ruthless as Liu Zhen. Liu Zhen scoffed dismissively, flicking the powder from the packet into a glass of red wine, then after scanning her surroundings, she spotted Liu Hun. “Hey, waiter! And a handsome one at that, come over here,” Liu Zhen called Liu Hun over. Liu Hun didn’t expect that while he was arranging flowers, he’d be mistaken for a waiter. “You know the famous Bingbing, right?” Liu Zhen asked Liu Hun with a smile, thinking he looked familiar, but couldn’t recall from where. An Shixi felt the same, unable to remember at the moment. “I know her,” Liu Hun nodded. Liu Zhen was about to use him as a pawn. Liu Zhen placed a glass of red wine and two glasses of white wine on a tray and told Liu Hun, “Take this tray over there, Bingbing prefers red, don’t neglect the guests, go on.” An Shixi stood to the side, not sure whether to intervene or not. Liu Hun nodded, already coming up with an idea. He picked up the tray and halfway there, he used a pillar as cover to quickly take another glass of red wine from a table and place it on the outer part of the tray. “Bingbing, I heard your next endorsement is with Louis Vuitton, that’s something many covet for a lifetime!” one guest exclaimed. “Yes, exactly! And Cannes is inviting you too, is that true? My movie is also in Cannes, Bingbing, do put in a good word for me,” another added. Xu Bingbing, with a modest smile, responded, “It’s all thanks to the studio, and I’ve just been lucky.” A trio of actresses were gathered together, chatting away. Liu Hun didn’t recognize the other two, but he was all too familiar with Xu Bingbing—delicately beautiful, with an elegant aura and graceful demeanor, a real stunner who looked just as gorgeous in real life as she did on TV. “Bingbing, I’ve heard that your manager, Nan Zhu, and Chen Junxing are at odds. Is it true? Chen Junxing is now the top dog at the studio. Be careful not to be at a disadvantage,” said the actress standing next to Xu Bingbing. Liu Hun just happened to approach with a tray of drinks at that moment. To his utter surprise, another actress snatched the outermost glass of red wine from the tray. As expected, Xu Bingbing liked the red and casually took the glass he had spiked. Liu Hun was stunned. What was he supposed to do now? Just as this thought burst into his mind, a man with an affected air and a nasal voice sauntered over. “Yo! So here’s where our big star hangs out.” “Master Xing, you’re here? Long time no see, and you’ve gotten even more dashing!” an actress exclaimed to Chen Junxing. “Master Xing, look at the toll work at the studio has taken on us—we get only haggard, but you become even more distinguished the harder you work!” another actress quickly followed with flattery. Xu Bingbing gave Chen Junxing a slight smile and said, “Manager Chen, isn’t the chairman here yet?” Everyone in the entertainment circle called Chen Junxing “Master Xing,” but Xu Bingbing just had to address him as “Manager Chen.” It really irked him. Everyone was sucking up to him, and yet she kept talking about “the chairman,” as if she didn’t even take him into consideration! Chen Junxing immediately turned cold and said, “Hmph, the chairman? That’s giving him too much credit. He’s just a nouveau riche. Who calls the shots at Nandou Studio? I, Chen Junxing, do!” Watching Chen Junxing start to make a scene, the actresses around—eager for gossip, as entertainers often are—crowded closer. Seeing the gathering crowd, Chen Junxing decided to assert his dominance and take Xu Bingbing down a peg. “I want some red wine!” declared Chen Junxing, chin held high to Xu Bingbing. Looking at Chen Junxing, who seemed as though he was expecting someone to pee on his parade, head raised as if preparing to catch it. “Master Xing, let me get it for you,” an actress next to him offered right away. “No! I want the one in her hand,” Chen Junxing stopped the actress and said to Xu Bingbing. As these words came out, the atmosphere immediately tensed. The bolder among them began to murmur, while most just looked on, eager for drama. All the management present were from Nandou Studio, and the stars had varying allegiances. Since they all fed from the same trough, naturally, they reveled in seeing the more famous faces fall from grace. Give it to him, oh! Please don’t be one of those beauties without brains, Liu Hun silently urged, hoping that Xu Bingbing had gotten this far by being street-smart, not just through looks or physical assets, and certainly not by sleeping her way to the top like some stars do. Xu Bingbing’s face stiffened for a good while before it broke into a smile, and she handed the wine to Chen Junxing, saying, “Manager Chen, I hope we at Nandou Studio can stand united, without division.” Although Xu Bingbing had caved, the comment saved her some face, and Chen Junxing triumphantly gulped down the red wine. Liu Hun had read over the documents Li Qianqing sent last night and listened to some gossip today. He had an idea of what role he should play in Nandou Studio and quietly waited for Chen Junxing to embarrass himself. It took less than three minutes for the show to begin! Just as Chen Junxing was enjoying the attention among the group of actresses. “Putt!” A very loud fart burst forth. The actresses’ faces showed extreme embarrassment, but being actors by trade, they quickly recovered, continuing their conversation and laughter as normal. “Pitter-patter!” After a succession of loud sounds, Chen Junxing clenched his legs together, his face turning a shade of purple as he stood frozen on the spot, knowing that opening his legs even a sliver would spell disaster. “Master Xing, what’s wrong with you? Someone help Master Xing,” an actress called out for Liu Hun. Liu Hun immediately came over and supported Chen Junxing, with a smile brighter than flowers on his face, saying, “Master! Xing! Right! I’ve got you.” “Chairm... chairman...” Chen Junxing’s eyes bugged out in shock—he had not expected Chairman Liu Hun to appear silently out of nowhere and be at his beck and call! He was part of the management and unlike these actresses, he recognized Liu Hun! “Blargh!” Before Chen Junxing could finish the word “chairman,” he suddenly threw up. His bottom was clamped shut, but the trouble was now at the top. The actresses around quickly covered their noses and backed away. Chen Junxing, unable to speak or move, was even more worried about ruining his image in Liu Hun’s eyes.
