Chapter 598: Someone Bullied Me
At the master seat in front of the table, there was a man dressed in a black Traditional Chinese suit who was in his fifties and whose hair was mostly white. There was also a cigar in his mouth and he seemed to be very energetic.
“Brother Zhong, I also gave him an out because of the face of Mr. Tang, who knew he would be so ungrateful?”
Zhong Yousheng then looked at the middle-aged man with slight displeasure and asked, “Who is Tao Wei?”
“So you don’t remember. BM Mall was originally rented to a production team for the promotion of a new movie, and Tao Wei is the director of the movie. Later on, Mr. Bai said that the female lead of this movie is vying with his sister for a man so you told me to go about the breach of contract because of that reason. Young Master Zhong found out about it somehow and told me to tell them that he’s going to hold his wedding proposal there.”
“Oh, we were doing the Bai family a favor. Why? She’s just a smalltime actress, what’s there to talk about?” Zhong Yousheng asked, furrowing his thick eyebrows as he was clearly displeased.
“No no, it’s just that the woman instigated the director to release a statement about this matter on Weibo. Well, as you know, the power of Weibo is incredible and we are now being boycotted very badly. I was going to get a few people to threaten them but I suddenly received a call from Mr. Tang.”
At this point, the middle-aged man’s body shivered and he said, “I’m sure you know what Mr. Tang Qing’s background is like. He told us to wait and see what would happen if we don’t give him a proper explanation.”
‘Tang Qing?’
In fact, Zhong Yousheng had more contact with Tang Qing than Bai Moliang, who always tried to maintain his image as a proper and upright person.
The first person he contacted with the intention to cooperate with was the Tang Corporation.
“Mr. Tang is standing up for a film production team? Does it belong to his company?”
“No, it seems to be because of the leading actress. Hmph, I think this woman is really something. She has offended Mr. Bai and now she’s asking for Mr. Tang’s protection.”
Yan Jinyi had a sharp sense of hearing so when she heard someone mentioning her name, she immediately fumbled about and sat on the seat nearest to Zhong Yousheng’s table.
She had deliberately worn a Cheongsam dress with a slit at the side, and a snow-white mink coat,appearing rather sluggish and sultry.
Her legs were crossed and she was gently swirling the wine glass in her hand as she looked through the hall on the first floor, as if she was trying to find a prey.
“Beauty, are you here to find a boyfriend?” Soon, a good-looking man in a suit came over, followed by a number of people behind him. They were obviously a bunch of incompetent scions of wealthy families.
Yan Jinyi didn’t say anything and merely smiled at them.
“I’m Zhong Jie, the son of the owner of this casino. This beautiful lady must have heard of me before,” said Zhong Jie who had already sat down beside her. He clinked glasses with her and said, “It’d be really boring for you to play alone. Why don’t you join us and I’ll show you around my family’s casino. How does that sound?”
“Sure,” Yan Jinyi said with a sweet smile. “But I’m not interested in a casino.”
Zhong Jie couldn’t take his eyes off her sweet beauty. “What do you want to play” I’ll accompany you.”
“Someone is bullying me.” Yan Jinyi gave full play the acting skills that she had figured out during this period of time as she immediately looked innocent and aggrieved.
Who bullied you? Tell me his name and I’ll bully him too.”
Yan Jinyi began to sob again. “I’m just a smalltime actress and my film crew is here this time to run a promotion in Hong Kong. We had initially already settled on the venue but they canceled it and said that a big shot’s son is holding his marriage proposal so he’s more eager than us.”
Zhong Jie’s smile stiffened immediately as he found the words a little familiar.
