Chapter 108 Knowing There Are Tigers in the Mountain

On the day she got the new car, Hu Xiaoxiao received a call from Steven, who said he was free and wanted to invite her to eat roast goose.

Hu Xiaoxiao drove her new red car, wearing sunglasses, to the police station to pick up Steven.

Steven walked out of the police station and was shocked by the conspicuous car at first sight. "You are amazing. It hasn't been long since you bought a car. The next time I see you, I guess you will buy a house."

Hu Xiaoxiao gestured for Steven to get in the car and said, "I do have this plan, but I don't see anyone I like."

Steven opened the passenger door and got in to experience the new car. After hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's words, he couldn't help but tease her, "Is it not big enough? Or not bright enough?"

She wants the house she rents to be big and bright. She only has 10,000 yuan in her pocket, but she dares to rent a house worth a few thousand yuan. You can imagine how picky this woman is when buying a house.

"Steven, you really understand me." Hu Xiaoxiao's red lips smiled charmingly under her sunglasses. "Not only does it have to be big and bright, but it also has to have parking spaces, and plenty of them, so I can buy a few more cars."

"Then you have to work harder. Such a nice house is very expensive." Steven was completely convinced that Hu Xiaoxiao could fulfill her wish.

"Don't worry, I always work hard."

"I see, even an outsider knows how good you are." Steven gave an address and said, "This roast goose shop has really good roast goose. My whole family loves it. Sometimes when business is busy, if we go a little late, we can't get it."

Hu Xiaoxiao drove the car in the direction he wanted to go and said, "You suddenly invited me to dinner. Is something good going to happen?"

Steven pointed to his shoulder badge and said, "Look, I got promoted again."

"Wow, congratulations! Congratulations!"

"Thank you so much! Thank you so much! It's all thanks to you. I was considered a great contributor in Mr. Xie's kidnapping case last time, and I was promoted to a higher rank."

Although his promotion to this position is closely related to his family background, without performance, all his connections will be useless.

Hu Xiaoxiao could tell that Steven's family was well-connected. When she first met him, he drove a very expensive car to and from get off work.

In Baogang, it is difficult to do anything without connections, especially climbing up the ladder. The higher you go, the harder it is to climb, as resources are almost monopolized.

Therefore, as someone without any background, she needs to work harder, cheer up, and seize every opportunity, no matter how small, to climb up step by step.

The car drove to the roast goose restaurant. The place was a bit simple and the decoration was very ordinary, but the business was very good. From time to time, people came from far away to buy roast goose.

Steven was a regular customer, and when the boss saw that he had brought a big star with him, he gave him the only private room upstairs.

While waiting for the roast goose to be served, Steven went to make a pot of tea as if he was familiar with it, and then brought a pot of hot water for Hu Xiaoxiao to heat the bowl.

While chatting, he asked about Hu Xiaoxiao's recent situation.

Hu Xiaoxiao talked about some of her recent work and casually mentioned that Hu Teng Company wanted to sign her.

"Huteng Company?" Steven was surprised. His hand, which was pouring tea for Hu Xiaoxiao, trembled, and the scalding tea spilled out. "You signed with Huteng Company?"

"No, the agent who came to negotiate with him was not sincere. It was obvious that he saw that I was popular and wanted to get a piece of the pie. And his greed was ugly."

Steven breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the tea off the table with a tissue, and said, "It's a good thing you didn't sign it. Stay away from this company from now on."

The boss of Shang Roast Goose came over. Hu Xiaoxiao waited until the boss left before asking, "Are you familiar with this company?"

"They don't have a great reputation, and they just love making quick money. Oh, and their company has made several famous pornographic films. If you sign with them, they'll drag you into the industry sooner or later."

"A pornographic film?" Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly understood. No wonder there were so many male viewers going to the movies.

"Because making pornographic films makes money quickly, the boss of Hu Teng Company, known as Brother Hu in the underworld, is a man with no taboos and no bottom line. He dares to do anything as long as he can make money. The film company is just one of his companies, and he has other industries on hand. The other party has taken a fancy to your ability to make money, and you are in trouble." Steven frowned.

"He has so many industries, why is he targeting me? The money I earn is just small fish and shrimp in the eyes of these big guys." Hu Xiaoxiao picked up a roast goose leg and took a bite. It was fragrant and greasy, with crispy skin and tender meat. It was very juicy and flavorful. It was very delicious.

"He is a corrupt official, so there are naturally people who are more corrupt than him. In that underworld, it is common for corrupt officials to rob corrupt officials. In recent years, several of his territories have been taken away, and his financial resources are not as high as before. However, as long as you keep filming TV, stay in the TV station, and don't get involved in the film industry, he may not cause trouble for you." Seeing that Hu Xiaoxiao was eating happily, Steven also picked up a goose leg and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

A place is a territory, and different territories have different rules. Everyone in this world must abide by the rules. If anyone does not follow the rules, don't blame others for not giving them face.

"That's impossible. I want to make movies in the future."

"You're going to make a movie?" Steven lost his appetite for roast goose after hearing this. He was practically worried about Hu Xiaoxiao. "Wouldn't it be great for you to make TV? TV viewers have a lot of housewives, so there's a market for actresses. But the film industry is dominated by male bosses. If you don't have a background and you're not good-looking, you'll easily be put at a disadvantage."

"Don't worry, I'm just making plans, not going right now. I'll find out more before I go." She really needed to learn more about the film industry. The waters were too deep, the pits too numerous, and the more valuable you were, the easier it was to be sold.

Seeing that he couldn't convince Hu Xiaoxiao, Steven had no choice but to say, "If there's anything you can't solve, come to me and see if I can help you."

Anyway, since they met, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't listen much to his advice, and he was used to how bold this woman was.

Hu Xiaoxiao praised: "Steven, you are such a good person."

Steven shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After all, I owe you a lot of favors."

"It doesn't matter. You owe me, I owe you. We'll be even after all this time."

"It's even, but it's even more confusing."

Hu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Maybe I can help you get a promotion then?"

Steven was startled by her. "Forget it. Your methods of causing trouble are getting more and more serious. I'm also worried."

Hu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "I didn't realize you were so timid."

"How many people have your courage? I wonder how a girl like you could be so bold as to go there knowing there are tigers there."

"Maybe it's because tiger meat is delicious."
