The South City's richest Zhong family had doted on their beloved daughter for seventeen years, only to find they had doted on the wrong person!
Word had it that the true daughter, Kong Xi...
Chapter 559: Nannan deserves the best
Luo Qingchen looked at the time on his watch, then looked towards the door. Soon, the door was pushed open. He immediately stood up and was about to greet with a smile when he was stunned.
This is... the mysterious movie queen who was popular across Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong back then... Wu Mengying... right!
"Mr. Luo." Wu Mengying gracefully extended her hand and shook hands with Luo Qingchen, then gestured for him to sit down. "I'm a little pressed for time. Can we get down to business as soon as possible?"
"Okay, okay." Luo Qingchen finally came to his senses. Just as he was about to speak, he found that his mind was in a mess. However, the strong psychological quality he had cultivated over the years still saved his face and prevented him from showing weakness at this time. He quickly found a breakthrough point and started from there to explain Luo's plan step by step.
He has been the president of Luo's for many years. Although he has never accomplished anything big, he still has the necessary courage and ability.
After he finished speaking, Wu Mengying asked a few key questions. Luo Qingchen answered most of them, but he couldn't answer a few of them. He didn't make up stories, but just said that he would verify it after returning.
He knew in his heart that lying was the most foolish thing to do in front of a woman who was accustomed to the prosperity of the world and had both talent, beauty and wealth.
Wu Mengying nodded and smiled politely, "I'll consider it. My assistant will contact you within three working days at the latest. I'm very grateful to Mr. Luo for coming."
"It's my honor to have the opportunity to work with Ms. Wu." Luo Qingchen was still a little nervous when facing Wu Mengying.
Wu Mengying smiled slightly and asked someone to ask Luo Qingchen to leave.
During this period, Luo Qingchen wanted to add Wu Mengying's personal contact information, but was rejected by the assistant on the grounds that "Mr. Wu had just returned from abroad and had not yet installed and registered the commonly used domestic APPs on his mobile phone."
Luo Qingchen was still concerned about working with Wu Mengying, so he didn't dare to go too far and just accepted this obviously unreliable reason with a smile.
After Luo Qingchen left, Wu Mengying sighed and rubbed her aching temples.
As soon as she returned to China, she started working non-stop and was indeed a little tired.
"Madam." After seeing Luo Qingchen off, the assistant returned to Wu Mengying and handed her a document. "We have collected information about the young lady over the past few years. Please review it."
"Yeah." Wu Mengying took the document and looked at it page by page.
An assistant nearby explained, "The eldest young lady hasn't had a good time these past few years. She's been working as a martial arts director, a stunt double, and playing minor roles on various productions. Although she has a good reputation, she hasn't been able to make it big because no company has signed her and she doesn't have any backing. Recently, at the recommendation of a domestic star, Zhong Qihan, she was cast in a costume drama as the fifth female lead, which is the role with the most screen time."
"Who is that Zhong Qihan?"
"The second young master of the Zhong family, the richest family in South City, was previously plagued by scandals due to a roommate's conspiracy in college. Later, he became popular on a reality show because of his tearfulness and genuine nature. He has a wide audience and the show has a very good reputation in China. The eldest daughter is also a fan of it."
"Are there any further developments between Zhong Qihan and Nannan?"
"No, Zhong Qihan has a girlfriend in the entertainment industry who is also a guest on the same variety show. The two fell in love during the filming. Although it has not been officially announced, it is rumored that it is because the woman wants to focus on her career, and he chose to respect her decision."
"He sounds reliable."
"Here's another collection of video footage. It contains some of the roles Miss has played and behind-the-scene footage." The assistant said a little embarrassedly, "It's really not very long. Please take a look."
"Yeah." Wu Mengying clicked on the video and watched it.
Watching the girl in the video falling, getting up, and falling into the lake over and over again, her pretty face pale with cold, yet she never complained, her sparkling eyes, her perfect figure and camera sense in front of the camera, Wu Mengying asked in confusion, "Are you saying that no one signed her?"
Even though she has retired from the entertainment industry for many years, she can see the unlimited potential in her daughter just by looking at her.
Is it reasonable that such a talented actor has not been signed?
"There was an agent who approached Miss before, but for some reason they parted ways." The assistant shook his head and said, "The domestic industry is indeed quite chaotic now, and Miss has suffered a lot."
"Ah..." Wu Mengying sighed softly: "Tell me, if I transfer 1 billion to her now so that she doesn't have to work so hard, will she be happy?"
"Well... if it were me, I'd be very happy, but the young lady... I feel like she might be more like you, quite strong-willed." The assistant laughed dryly and said, "Madam, how about we be more tactful?"
"Let's buy an entertainment company and sign her. No matter how much it costs," Wu Mengying said, shaking her head. "No, let's just register a new company. My daughter deserves the best. Everything must be new and unique."
"Okay." The assistant responded and walked out.
Only Wu Mengying was left in the room. She took out her phone and looked at a photo on the screensaver. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Dear, I found our daughter. She works very hard. Her unyielding tenacity is exactly the same as yours."
Wu Mengying stroked the face on the screen with his fingertips, sighed deeply, and looked at the night outside the window.
She will definitely give Nannan the best of everything.
…
"It's so itchy." Wu Yan scratched her ears, feeling a bit confused. "Why do my ears feel so hot?"
"Are you allergic to alcohol? The alcohol content of that champagne isn't high." Zhong Yangyang looked over and asked nervously, "Do you want to go to the hospital? We can't put off dealing with an allergy!"
"No, no, I'm not allergic to alcohol. I've drunk before." Wu Yan quickly waved her hand and smiled: "Maybe it's just that I haven't eaten so many delicious foods in a while."
"What an irrelevant reason." Kong Xiyan smiled and reached out to pinch Wu Yan's earlobe and earlobes. "What about now?"
"Huh? That's strange. I don't feel itchy or hot anymore." Wu Yan blinked and looked at Kong Xiyan with admiration: "Little Village Chief Kong, you are so amazing!"
"What's the big deal?" Kong Xiyan waved her hand and said, "It's just that someone is talking about you."
"Hmm?" Wu Yan was a little confused. Isn't this reason even more weird?
"You can stay here tonight." Kong Xiyan patted Wu Yan's shoulder and said, "I calculated that good things are coming for you. Don't forget me when you become rich and powerful!"
"Then I'll borrow the good words from Village Chief Xiao Kong~" Wu Yan just thought that Village Chief Xiao Kong was cheering her up, so she smiled and said nothing more.
It wasn't until the next afternoon that a phone call came in and scared her.
"What? You want to sign me?" Wu Yan was stunned and said, "I, I don't have any particularly good works right now."
“It doesn’t matter if we don’t have it now, we can build the best work together in the future.”
"Well, I only film, I don't drink with people." Wu Yan had previous experience and decided it would be better to make it clear.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Wu Yan's heart skipped a beat: As expected!
She knew that no legitimate entertainment company would be interested in a nameless, small-time fry like her at her age.
Just as Wu Yan was about to hang up, she heard a deep voice coming from the other end of the line.
"Did anyone force you to drink with others?"
Tell it out and let the lady kill him!
