Lin Ruyi originally wanted to persuade Ouyang Zixuan to accept the unspoken rules, so that she could gain some benefits.

But as they talked, she felt herself being persuaded by the girl.

But she still didn't quite believe it.

Or perhaps she simply didn't want to believe it.

"Sister, do you really not have to entertain those men for your jobs?"

"No need. I've been here for so many days, and it's just normal training. The training involves dancing and some etiquette. Our manager treats us very well and never does anything inappropriate. Many of the guests who come to our club are now big live streamers and big entrepreneurs. They come to our club to ride on our popularity, so they won't try anything with us. On the contrary, some of the female clients treat people very well. I even see affection in their eyes. The relationships between my colleagues are also very harmonious."

Lin Ruyi was somewhat tempted.

"Really? I just can't believe it!"

"Sister Ruyi, you can go and see for yourself. I can't lie to anyone. Once you actually visit our Linglong Club, you'll know. If we're just talking about income and not dreams, I think our club's income isn't bad at all."

"Well... hehe, I was just asking. How about this, I'll add you on social media. If you really do make 3 million, I'll come over and check it out, okay?"

"OK!"

The two of them exchanged contact information like that.

Lin Ruyi was no longer in the mood to persuade her and prepared to let Ouyang Zixuan go back.

But when the assistant saw Ouyang Zixuan about to leave again, he immediately ran over.

He held the door shut.

Then he asked, "Why are you going back? We haven't finished discussing our work yet."

Ouyang Zixuan no longer intends to become an actress.

I'm no longer as afraid of this assistant as I was before.

"Get out of my way, I want to go back, I don't want to be an actress anymore!"

The assistant chuckled.

"Do you think you can just come and go as you please? What do you take our time for? Our Director Guo is a famous director! It's your good fortune that he's taken a liking to you!"

"Whoever wants this kind of good fortune can have it! I certainly don't want it! If you want this kind of good fortune, go and be with him yourself!"

Ouyang Zixuan retorted without holding back, and only then did she feel a sense of relief.

It turns out that the happiest thing is being yourself.

The assistant's expression was unfriendly; it was the first time someone had spoken to her like that, especially a young girl fresh out of school.

"Who do you think you are? You think you're so great? Damn it! You work at a lousy club and you're acting all high and mighty. We called you here to give you face, so don't be ungrateful!"

"You've got to be kidding me! Don't think I'm stupid! You called me here just to have me keep this old man company, no way! Our manager is so handsome, I'd rather keep him company than keep me company, why would I ever be interested in this old man?"

Guo Shangkun heard the word "old man".

He jumped to his feet.

He walked over angrily.

He raised his hand and slapped Ouyang Zixuan across the face without any mercy.

I was suddenly slapped in the face.

Ouyang Zixuan was also furious. She felt disgusted when the old man touched her hand earlier, and now he even dared to hit her. Did he want to die?

Ouyang Zixuan raised her foot and delivered a groin kick. Guo Shangkun didn't seem to think she would resist. After all, he had done this kind of thing many times and had never seen anyone resist.

He was struck hard in a vital spot, and the pain made him immediately kneel down.

Ouyang Zixuan grabbed his sparse hair and spat out a mouthful of spittle; "Old man, if you dare touch me with your disgusting groping hands again, I'll chop you up!"

After she finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

They never imagined that a young girl fresh out of school would actually lay a hand on this famous director. It was like a chick trying to kill an eagle; nobody would believe it.

A few seconds later, the assistant finally realized what was happening.

He then rushed up and tried to beat Ouyang Zixuan, but just then, the door of the KTV was opened.

Five or six security guards rushed in.

It turned out that Zhang Kai had arrived with his men.

Chen Zhe stood at the door, his hands in his pockets, looking at everything before him.

Seeing Guo Shangkun clutching his groin and looking disheveled on the ground, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe, this is interesting..."

The men in the KTV were mostly young and handsome, and they didn't dare to make a move when they saw these five or six muscular bodyguards.

They all froze on the spot, and the assistant even took a few steps back in fear.

Zhang Kai grabbed the assistant, dragged him over, and slapped him twice.

"You son of a bitch, you dare to hit one of our men? Kid, where do you think you're from?"

Zhang Kai's words, which sounded a bit like something out of the underworld, made the assistant's lips tremble.

"Big...Big brother...it's a misunderstanding..."

Guo Shangkun realized what was happening after the pain subsided.

"Damn it! You dare hit me! You're all dead! Give me the phone, I'm calling the police!!! I'm going to send you all to jail!!!"

Chen Zhe smiled and handed his phone to Guo Shangkun.

"The call is still connected, do you want to say a few words?"

"ah?"

Guo Shangkun was a little confused, as were the others.

Guo Shangkun picked up the phone and held it to his ear.

Chen Si's voice came from inside.

"Hello, is this Director Guo?"

Upon hearing Chen Si's voice, Guo Shangkun immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen? It's you!"

...

While standing outside the door, Chen Zhe wasn't idle. He first asked Zhang Kai to call someone up, and then he called Chen Si.

Chen Si is somewhat famous in the entertainment industry, not because she can act, but because she often invests in movies. Her ex-boyfriend was also in the entertainment industry.

Chen Zhe just wanted to know how strong Guo Shangkun's background was.

Surprisingly, I asked the right person.

The main investor in the film that Guo Shangkun is about to start is Chen Si's company.

So now we have the following scene.

Guo Shangkun's expression changed very quickly; one second he was angrily threatening to call the police and send someone to jail.

The next second after he finished the call, he laughed like a dog.

He respectfully returned the phone to Chen Zhe.

"Misunderstanding! Manager Chen, it's all a misunderstanding. It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple. We're family, yet we don't recognize each other. I know Mr. Chen very well. You should have said so earlier! You should have said you and Mr. Chen are like siblings! Look at the mess we've made now, haha. It's alright, it's alright, Manager Chen. Let's have a drink together, and let's put this unpleasantness behind us..."

Guo Shangkun picked up the two bottles of wine on the table.

He handed it to Chen Zhe with some trepidation.

Chen Zhe smiled but didn't take the bottle of wine. "Sorry, I'm not a big drinker."

I noticed he wasn't accepting my drink.

Guo Shangkun felt even more uneasy.

During the phone call, Chen Si said that if Chen Zhe didn't forgive her, then the investment in this film would be canceled, and there would be no need for further cooperation.

This is a big deal. Chen Si is a big investor. Directors have a high status in the entertainment industry, but investors have an even higher status. Only if they are willing to invest money can directors make a living.

Although Guo Shangkun has accumulated a lot over the years, compared to such large capital, he is still like an ant; they can crush him with a flick of their fingers.

He looked at Chen Zhe with a bitter expression.

"Manager Chen, I spoke a little loudly just now. I apologize. I really didn't expect you to have a relationship with General Manager Chen..."

"Hehe, Director Guo, you really misunderstood. I really am not good at drinking."

Chen Zhe had no intention of causing trouble for Guo Shangkun. He had a business partnership with Sister Chen's company, and he wouldn't let Sister Chen suffer because of such a trivial matter.

But in Guo Shangkun's eyes, refusing his drink meant that she hadn't forgiven him yet.

He was anxious, and then looked at Lin Ruyi beside him.

"Ruyi, come over and have a drink with Manager Chen. He probably doesn't want to drink with me."

Lin Ruyi walked up and looked Chen Zhe over again. He was indeed handsome and looked very neat.

She took the wine from Guo Shangkun's hand.

Then it was handed to Chen Zhe.

"Manager Chen, we were wrong just now. Please forgive us."

Chen Zhe realized they had indeed misunderstood him and shrugged slightly.

Then he took the wine, and instead of just taking a sip, he chose to down it in one gulp.

Seeing that Chen Zhe had finally drunk it, Guo Shangkun breathed a sigh of relief.

Some looked at Lin Ruyi with admiration.

Lin Ruyi also had a drink with Chen Zhe. She was happy. Someone who could make Guo Shangkun bow his head must be a big shot. And if this big shot gave her face, it meant that this big shot might be interested in her.

After finishing her drink, Lin Ruyi gave Chen Zhe a meaningful look.

Chen Zhe did not notice this about her.

"Alright, I've had my drink. Let's just leave it at that for today, Director Guo..."

"Hey, I'm here."

Where was the arrogance that Guo Shangkun had displayed just moments before? Now, his smile was more benevolent than anyone else's.

"From now on, don't get any ideas about the girls at our club. Everyone's had a tough time, you know what I mean?"

"I understand, I understand. I'm so sorry, Manager Chen. I was really wrong about this today. I'll ask you to come back later..."

"No need, no need..."

Chen Zhe waved his hand.

"You know that's enough. You actors are quite beautiful. You can bring them to visit me sometime, and I'll treat you."

Chen Zhe did think these actresses were quite beautiful. After all, you can't be an actress if you're not beautiful. He was just thinking about whether to invite all these actresses to his club to do some advertising.

These people all have a certain degree of fame and have appeared in period dramas. If they come to help promote the company, it might gain the support of some young customers.

But Guo Shangkun heard a different story.

He felt that Chen Zhe praising the actors' looks and asking them to come over was clearly an unspoken rule.

He understood perfectly.

He gave Chen Zhe a reassuring look.

"Got it! I got it, leave it to me!!"
