Chapter 201 The Leader Has Arrived

"Oh, right, I also got you some wild ginseng and stuff, Master. They're all imported from South Korea. Take them home to nourish yourself. Uncle Zhang, Uncle Wang, Director Zhang, you all have some."

Zhang Guoli laughed: "Then I'll thank you. I've really been feeling a bit weak lately."

Wang Gang glanced at Zhang Guoli: "You weren't lying that day."

Zhang Guoli.....

"Sisi, aren't you a big fan of Brother Long? Brother Long, why don't you take a picture with Sisi? She's your biggest fan."

Cheng Long smiled and said, "It's my honor to have such a beautiful young lady as my fan. No wonder you look down on those female artists in Hong Kong, brother. You're nowhere near as good-looking as Liu Yifei."

Liu Qianqian was very happy to hear this.

Jackie Chan put his arm around Jennifer Lawrence's shoulder, and the two laughed heartily, flashing Jackie Chan's signature peace sign.

Shen Fang took out the camera he had prepared and pointed it at the two of them.

A snap.

Zeng Li and Pan Yueming also came forward to take photos with Brother Cheng Long, getting up close and personal with their idol.

At this moment, Han Sanping walked in with three well-dressed and dignified middle-aged men.

Shen Fang, Albert Yeung, and Cheng Long all came forward to greet them.

Han Sanping introduced with a smile: "This is Director Zhou, who is in charge of the TV drama review department; this is Director Liu, who is in charge of the domestic film review department; and this is Vice Minister Zhang, who is in charge of the Central Propaganda Department."

Shen Fang, Cheng Long, and Albert Yeung quickly greeted them. Especially Albert Yeung; Cheng Long had met foreign heads of state before, even from small countries, but Albert Yeung was just an ordinary businessman. He'd only ever met wealthy people, but compared to these men, wow, they were big shots in terms of film and television censorship, and even the Central Propaganda Department.

"Director Zhou, Director Liu, Department Head Zhang, this is my nephew Shen Fang."

Shen Fang glanced at Han Sanye with great surprise.

He didn't expect that Master Han would actually give him face and introduce him to some big shots.

Shen Fang quickly greeted him.

"Director Zhou, Director Liu, Department Head Zhang, hello, I am Shen Fang."

The three of them glanced at Chen Fang, smiled and nodded, everything understood without a word.

"Director Zhou, this is Mr. Yang from Hong Kong. He's here to collaborate with us in mainland China on a big-budget TV series. He's very sincere. Could you help us put in a good word with the TV station?"

Zhou Chu laughed: "It's a small matter. It's good that President Yang has this idea. Strengthening cooperation between the two places is something that the higher-ups have been doing. We're all one family, so if you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

Albert Yeung quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Director Zhou!!!"

The people in Beijing's elite circle, including Wang Zhongjun and Fatty Yu, were all astonished to see these individuals; they were all big shots.

Fatty Yu nudged Wang Zhongjun's shoulder.

"Old Wang, what's going on here? These big shots have all arrived?"

Wang Zhongjun shook his head.

"I have no idea. What is Chen Fang up to?"

Why is Shen Fang getting so close to Master Han? Isn't he Master Han's confidant? Master Han!!! Don't you love me anymore?! I'm your true love!!!

The group entered the dinner party.

Han Sanping, Zhou Chu, Zhang Bu, Liu Ju, Shen Fang, Lao Mouzi, Zheng Xiaolong, Zhao Baogang, Zhang Yongxin, Zhang Li, Yang Shoucheng, Cheng Long, Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong and others were at one table.

Liu Xiaoli, Liu Qianqian, Zeng Li, Xu Qing, Li Xiaoran, Qin Hailu, Pan Yueming, Shen Kun and others sat at one table.

Han Sanping picked up his wine glass.

"Today, we are all gathered here. Our friends from Hong Kong have come to visit us, and I have brought out my treasured wines to entertain you all. Xiao Fang has also made excellent arrangements, preparing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Today, we have fine wine and delicious food. My good friend, let's have a toast."

Everyone raised their glasses.

......

"Mom, how is it? Does it look good? Hehe."

Liu Qianqian waved the large pink diamond back and forth in front of Liu Xiaoli.

Zeng Li praised, "Qianqian is very pretty. Shen Fang is so good to you."

"Brother Chen Fang is the best to me, hehe."

Xu Qing glanced at Liu Qianqian. Shen Fang was being too nice to this girl; he gave her a 2 million yuan diamond ring without hesitation, and even gave her the biggest one.

"Alright, stop laughing. Let's eat. You can't wear this ring out later; it's too valuable for you. You're still young, and it's not safe."

Liu Qianqian pouted and looked at Liu Xiaoli: "How is it not safe?"

"Have you forgotten that news on TV a while ago? Someone chopped off their hand because of a gold chain. It's not safe. And you can't wear any diamond jewelry. You're still young, so Mom will keep it safe for you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian thought of the news from that day and nodded somewhat fearfully.

"I've heard about this too. Someone was almost killed over a gold chain. It's really scary."

Zeng Li said with a look of fear.

“Yes, there have been so many scary news stories like this lately,” Li Xiaoran nodded.
