Chapter 254 I Want to Be the Boss
After recounting this heartbreaking story, Dong Peiyu said, "I originally planned to stop coaching female artists, so as to avoid experiencing the pain of helplessness again. But when I saw you, I couldn't bear to leave..."
Fate played a joke on her and ended up bringing a female artist, who was even more beautiful than Dai Anqi.
When Dong Peiyu decided to become Hu Xiaoxiao's agent, she had been thinking about what she would do if Hu Xiaoxiao encountered such a thing. How could she avoid Dai Anqi's fate?
Then, after spending more time with Hu Xiaoxiao, she discovered that Hu Xiaoxiao had a strength, or something very mysterious, that Dai Anqi could not compare to - he was very good at making money! He was really, really good at making money!
I don’t know whether Hu Xiaoxiao has good vision or is a bit superstitious, but Dong Peiyu sees a glimmer of hope in it, a hope of breaking the deadlock.
"Most bosses pursue power, wealth, and sex. Some enjoy all three, while others only enjoy one or two. There are many bosses who are greedy for sex, but there are also bosses who are not greedy for sex and are only greedy for money." Dong Peiyu talked about one person, "Luo Cheng, the leader of the Yi Hai Gang, has a good relationship with his wife and is not interested in other women. He is a rare boss who is powerful and not greedy for women. However, he is very greedy and loves money."
The Yi Hai Gang is one of the major societies in Baogang. Its influence is not only in Baogang, but it also has members and territories in Southeast Asia.
"The dock that Sister Dong recommended is Luocheng?" Hu Xiaoxiao knew that the Yi Hai Gang was one of the oldest gangs in Baogang and was very influential in the entire Baogang underworld.
Many of the leaders of small gangs in Baogang are from the Yihai Gang, a giant in the underworld. With the Yihai Gang as their backing, the Sanren Gang would never dare to blatantly ban Hu Xiaoxiao's film.
"Yes, he's the only one who's suitable." Dong Peiyu didn't dare take Hu Xiaoxiao to meet the other bosses. It would be hard for a man to resist such a beauty. Wouldn't that be like walking out of a tiger's blood and into a wolf's den?
Therefore, only Luo Cheng's place is relatively safe.
Dong Peiyu didn't bring Dai Anqi to Luo Cheng because Dai Anqi, apart from her acting skills, couldn't bring much benefit to Luo Cheng. In other words, Dai Anqi's value was not enough to impress Luo Cheng.
And Hu Xiaoxiao just happened to have what Luo Cheng needed. They could use Luo Cheng as a bridge to cross the river, rely on the Yi Hai Gang, gain a firm foothold in the film industry, and then pursue other things.
But dealing with the community is like courting disaster. Dong Peiyu would not choose this path unless it is absolutely necessary.
Hu Xiaoxiao listened carefully to the various forces in the film industry, the complex relationships behind them, and their bloody methods of solving problems.
This is much more complicated than being a TV station, and the struggle between factions is more complex and cruel. If you offend the top management at a TV station, at most you will be banned, and at worst you will quit.
But in the film industry, if you offend someone, you may lose your life and even implicate your family.
It's one thing for outsiders to know about the darkness inside, but it's another to experience it firsthand. Hu Xiaoxiao has made sufficient preparations to enter the film industry, but now he finds that his preparations are still somewhat insufficient.
But that's what makes it interesting, isn't it? If everything goes as she expected and the path she takes goes as smoothly as she wants, then life would be too dull. Rather than saying that she enjoys filming, it's better to say that what she likes most is the challenge.
It's been a long time since I felt this eager to try a challenge.
She seemed to have regained the passion she had when she participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant and the drive she had when she first joined the TV station.
"Then choose Luo Cheng and break the deadlock from him first." Use the Yi Hai Gang as a springboard and jump directly on it.
Of course, you may accidentally fall off the cliff.
But that's what makes it exciting.
Dong Peiyu asked seriously, "Have you made up your mind? Once you've embarked on this path, it's hard to turn back."
"Why should I look back? Once I'm on the mountain, I'll head for the top." Hu Xiaoxiao's original plan for the film industry was to proceed step by step and continue to live the glamorous life of a star. Now she feels that her plan needs to change. She is not satisfied with her previous stability.
She wanted to use the Yi Hai Gang's springboard to jump directly up, where the view would be better.
"Okay, I'll find a chance to take you to meet Luo Cheng." Dong Peiyu secretly made another decision. If she could help Hu Xiaoxiao get back on his feet, that would be fine. But if she failed, she wouldn't let Xiaoxiao get into trouble. She would use all the connections and favors her grandfather had left to help Hu Xiaoxiao escape unscathed. Xiaoxiao had a lot of assets under his name anyway, so at worst, he could just go back to being a landlady.
As for her, at most she would not be involved in this circle and would change her career.
After the arrangement was made, Dong Peiyu regained her confidence.
On this side, Dong Peiyu had just ignited her confidence and was full of energy, but when she suddenly heard Hu Xiaoxiao's words, she was a little confused.
"Sister Dong, why should female celebrities be bullied by men and become their playthings? Why are all the big bosses in this industry men? Why can't I be a big boss?"
Dong Peiyu was stunned for a moment. She didn't think Hu Xiaoxiao was fanciful or delusional. Instead, she told Hu Xiaoxiao, "It's harder for a woman to become a boss."
"You mean harder, not impossible, right?"
"That's right. Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty was able to become an emperor, so it's not surprising that women want to be gang bosses. Many women do, but wanting to do it and actually being able to do it are two different things." Dong Peiyu said: "There are some women who have a say in the underworld, but their power mostly comes from their fathers or husbands. There are some who are sisters-in-law, but no woman has truly become a female gang boss on her own."
Hu Xiaoxiao crossed her hands on her knees, staring ahead with an ambitious smile on her lips. "I've decided. I want to be a female boss, I want to be the boss, and I will specialize in protecting female celebrities in the future."
Dong Peiyu turned her head and looked at the ambitious Hu Xiaoxiao, her heart agitated, "Aren't you afraid?"
To challenge the patriarchal society, or to challenge them in the most lawless, unscrupulous, and immoral underworld, the bloody storm you face will be endless.
"Don't be afraid. What I like most is to challenge the rules." Perhaps, she will be the one who makes the rules in the future.
"I'll help you," Dong Peiyu said firmly. "No matter if there are knives or guns ahead, I will walk with you."
"Aren't you afraid?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked her back.
"My grandfather wasn't afraid of such ferocious and brutal devils, how could I possibly destroy his prestige?"
Very good, the two women reached a consensus again.
"Sister Dong, you will assist me from behind from now on. I am too impatient to take care of a lot of chores and trivial matters, and I don't like to waste my time on trivial matters." She needs someone to assist her while she is in the front and who can assist her from behind so that she has no worries.
"This is my job, my boss."
