Night, Junlan Hotel.
Chen Hu really put his heart into it, actually inviting a second-tier celebrity to accompany him.
Lan Xin is a celebrity with a decent appearance and figure, but the powerful figure behind her has been arrested for financial crimes, leaving her without any acting opportunities.
She was also desperately trying to find an investor by employing all her methods.
"Mr. Ye, let me toast you. I'm in the entertainment industry, and I'll need your help in the future." Lan Xin raised her glass and toasted Ye Xingchen desperately, trying to get him drunk so she could help him to his room. That way, Ye Xingchen wouldn't be able to deny everything afterward, right?
Ye Xingchen took a small sip and put down his glass. He wasn't too fond of Lan Xin, after all, not everyone is as capable as Lin Nianwei, and that kind of woman is always involved in scandals.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye. I'll drink the rest." Lan Xin took the remaining wine from Ye Xingchen, drank it all in one gulp, and then stuck out her pink tongue to roll the remaining wine around her lips.
Ye Xingchen was a little confused. Judging from the woman's tongue's dexterity, she must be quite skilled.
Seeing that Ye Xingchen didn't like Lan Xin, Chen Hu quickly told her to leave: "Mr. Ye, I just wanted to lighten the mood. If you don't like her, please let her leave."
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that this kind of..." Ye Xingchen shook his head: "can only be described as vulgar and common."
"Yes, I understand." Chen Hu was embarrassed. He then realized Ye Xingchen's status. What kind of women hadn't he seen? Women like Lan Xin'er would probably line up to climb into his bed.
"How many people like you are there in Yanjing?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“There are three more, one each in the east, west, south, and north, each with its own responsibilities,” Chen Hu said. “And we are all under the unified management of the Tang family.”
“You should be grateful that the Tang family is keeping an eye on you.” Ye Xingchen glanced at him. “Where is this place? This is Yanjing, right under the emperor’s nose.”
"If you had expanded wildly like other places and disregarded the rules, you would probably have been sent to be eaten by now."
“Yes, things are different now than they were in the past when we roamed the world with machetes.” Chen Hu nodded with a sense of emotion: “So the Tang family’s restraint on our behavior is actually a way of saving us.”
"To have reached your level in Yanjing, you've already hit the limit," Ye Xingchen said. "You should know what to do, right?"
“I know that compared to the other three, I am the most pragmatic,” Chen Hu said. “I never touch things that I shouldn’t touch.”
"That's for the best." Ye Xingchen smiled. "The more arrogant a person is, the first one they'll be dealt with."
No sooner had Ye Xingchen finished speaking than a commotion erupted from the next private room, followed by an angry roar…
"Who's next door?" Ye Xingchen frowned slightly. The roar came from a man, so he must have been injured.
There were quite a few people next door, and you could vaguely hear a woman's voice, which sounded somewhat familiar.
“Mr. Ye is Li Bo, the son of Li Jincheng from Dongcheng. Li Jincheng, like me, is managed by the Tang family,” Chen Hu said. “If Mr. Ye finds him too noisy, I’ll have him move to another private room.”
"No need, let's go out and take a look." Ye Xingchen stood up.
In the next private room, Lin Nianwei was protecting a girl, holding a broken wine bottle in her hand, like a kitten that had been startled by a cat.
The man with a buzz cut is Li Bo, the son of Li Jincheng, the godfather of Dongcheng. This guy has no other hobbies except for liking all kinds of artists and celebrities.
He also owns an entertainment company called Guangcai Entertainment, and he has basically taken advantage of all the female artists he has managed.
"Lin Nianwei, do you still want to develop your career in Yanjing? If your lousy entertainment company wants to enter the Yanjing entertainment industry, you'll have to ask me if it's feasible. Now your artists have hurt my brother, how are you going to settle this score?" Li Bo said, puffing on a cigar.
The girl Lin Nianwei was protecting behind her was named Xiaoya, a newcomer she had signed through a talent scout.
She had originally received a script and intended for Xiaoya to play the role, but it was indeed a bit difficult for someone from out of town to establish herself in a place like Yanjing.
Today, I brought Xiaoya along to pay a visit to Liu Bo, since he's a godfather-like figure in Beijing's entertainment industry. If we can get past him, things will go smoothly for us in Beijing from now on.
But who knew that Liu Bo's younger brother would make excessive demands, pouring wine on Xiao Ya's chest in front of everyone, and then going crazy while drunk. In a fit of anger, Lin Nianwei grabbed a wine bottle and smashed it over his head.
“Mr. Liu, I understand the principle of harmony brings wealth.” Lin Nianwei composed herself: “But Xiaoya is a newcomer. I promised her parents that I would take good care of her, so you can make other requests, but you can’t touch her.”
Lin Nianwei has worked in the entertainment industry and knows the hardships of being an artist. Therefore, her original intention in establishing her entertainment company was that the artists under her management would absolutely not accept unspoken rules.
"Screw your 'harmony brings wealth' nonsense. It's her good fortune that I've taken a liking to her. In this line of work, aren't we just high-class prostitutes?" The man with blood streaming from his head was none other than Zhou Jin.
He cursed, "I'm putting my words here today. If you don't satisfy me, I'll make sure you don't leave alive."
"Then you can give it a try." Lin Nianwei's hands trembled slightly.
Her bodyguards had already been taken down, and now she was forcing herself to confront these people while suppressing her fear.
“Miss Lin, there aren’t many people in Yanjing who dare to speak to me like this.” Li Bo smiled slightly, put down his cigar, and gestured for Zhou Jin to sit down first.
"Mr. Li, I'm so sorry about what happened today. I'll pay for this friend's medical expenses. I'll stay and handle everything. Please let Xiaoya go first." Lin Nianwei composed herself.
"Do you think we're short of medical expenses? Zhou Jin is my brother, and he was inexplicably injured by one of your newcomers. If you don't give me an explanation today, where will I put my face in the future?" Li Bo sneered.
"Then just state your conditions," Lin Nianwei said through gritted teeth.
“Here’s the thing, we’re having a party later, with about five or six friends. You can bring her to the party, and afterwards we’ll pretend this never happened,” Li Bo said with a lewd grin.
The kind of "party" he refers to is the kind of lewd party, where one woman is accompanied by multiple men, and it's extremely obscene, with various props and drugs used to enhance the experience.
Moreover, his regular companions are all perverts. A gold digger once joined for money and was eventually tortured and crippled.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Li, but I cannot accept this approach.” Lin Nianwei gently shook her head and said, “I can apologize to you and offer some compensation, but there are some things that are my bottom line.”
"Bottom line? You, an actor, are talking to me about bottom lines?" Li Bo laughed, then suddenly stood up and slapped Lin Nianwei across the face.
Lin Nianwei gasped in surprise, staggered, and nearly fell to the ground. The wine bottle in her hand was snatched away, and people quickly stepped forward to help her up.
