Jiang Can glanced at them coldly, and finally her gaze fell on the boy named Liang Jie.
The boy was quite handsome, with deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and a slightly roguish and wicked air.
If it were displayed on a big screen, it would probably capture the hearts of many young girls.
But when she thought about how they had just slandered Yin Cheng, she clenched her fists.
"Artists from Yufeng Media must be of high moral character and artistic talent." Jiang Can sneered, "Besides having excellent acting skills, they also need to have an extremely high reputation in the industry."
"So, in what ways do you think you deserve Yu Feng's contract?"
Several celebrity offspring were stunned at the same time.
Perhaps it's because they grew up in such a privileged environment, pampered and adored by everyone, that some of them even started acting at a very young age.
They choose the roles, not the other way around.
They had never encountered anyone who dared to speak in such a tone.
However, some of them reacted quickly and immediately thought of the cause and effect.
"This woman... she just came up and asked us if we were interested in Yin Cheng's sister!" the man whispered. "Now she's saying something like this, she's probably Yin Cheng's sister?"
"Shouldn't Yin Cheng's sister have the surname Yin?"
"That's why they say their family is a mess!" Liang Jie laughed unrestrainedly. "They probably don't even have the same father!"
"Hahaha……"
The boys burst into laughter again.
Jiang Can took a deep breath to calm herself down, only to hear Liang Jie say again, "What's so great about a lousy company? My dad wouldn't even want to work there!"
His tone was contemptuous and disdainful. As he spoke, he looked up at Jiang Can and gave a cold smile.
In reality, Liang Jie's father, Liang Lu, had been eager to sign with Yufeng Media, but Fu Xiuyu rejected him every time.
In terms of reputation and popularity, he cannot compare to rising stars like Nie Xin.
In terms of traffic and buzz, he's not even as good as Mona.
Aside from his decent acting skills and a few insignificant international awards that nobody has ever heard of, it's really not worth investing money in him.
Fu Xiuyu is a shrewd businesswoman. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble to sign such a useless person to the company?
"There are plenty of companies that produce big-budget productions!" Liang Jie sneered even more sarcastically. "Miss Jiang, do you know Qingshan Entertainment Company?"
Jiang Can was taken aback.
Liang Jie took her stunned expression as a sign that she was frightened by him.
He became even more smug, saying, "My dad and the boss of Qingshan Entertainment are best buddies! When Qingshan Entertainment invests, I can get into whichever show I want, without having to go out and find resources myself."
Upon hearing this, his companions all looked at him with immense envy.
Jiang Can was both amused and exasperated; she had never heard of Lu Lishan having a brother named Liang Lu.
"So you're quite familiar with Qingshan Entertainment?" A deep, sharp voice suddenly rang out.
Jiang Can turned around and saw her man behind her, walking slowly with one hand in his pocket, his expression cold and somewhat mocking.
Huo Zhixing put his arm around Jiang Can's shoulder and looked at the group of young men in their early twenties in front of him.
Although I am not much older than them.
In his eyes, however, the emotional intelligence and IQ of this group of people were far below the level of adults.
Liang Jie and the others didn't recognize Huo Zhixing and stared at him blankly, trying to guess his identity.
"Wh...what happened?" Liang Jie looked up. "Heh, do you know who the boss of Qingshan Entertainment is? He used to be a big shot in Jiangzhou! He told my dad that as long as I want to act in a movie produced by their company, the male lead will always be reserved for me, no matter when!"
"Ha, I feel right at home at Qingshan Entertainment!"
Huo Zhixing couldn't help but smile.
Do celebrity offspring these days not even need to think before they brag?
"Since you know the CEO of Qingshan, I have a favor I'd like to ask you for. Is that alright?"
Liang Jie immediately pulled him up, glanced at him, and gave a soft, cold snort.
"I don't know who you are, why should I help you?"
"Once you've been there, you'll get to know each other better. Once you're familiar with each other, won't you become friends?" Huo Zhixing smiled. "We're all in this circle, so we can help each other out when there are benefits. It'll also make things easier for us to go further in the future."
Liang Jie rolled his eyes. "Tell me about it!"
"Qingshan Entertainment has a big production coming out recently, directed by Xie Rui, called something like 'Soul of Mountains and Rivers,' I'm thinking..."
"You don't want to act in it, do you?"
Huo Zhixing smiled and said, "I want to invest."
"Liang Jie, hurry up and call your brother Shan!" someone urged him from the side. "It's just a phone call!"
Liang Jie was stunned.
He scrutinized Huo Zhixing, wondering if this man was genuinely wealthy or a conman, and why he was so eager to invest in a film right away.
Most importantly, he didn't know Lu Lishan at all!
Liang Jie looked embarrassed and made up various excuses not to make the call.
Huo Zhixing chuckled, took out his phone, dialed a number, and put it on speakerphone.
The call was answered quickly, and Lu Lishan's loud voice came from the other end: "Hey, what brings you to call me today?"
"I heard you have a big production coming out recently, 'The Soul of Mountains and Rivers'?"
"What, you're trying to take advantage of me?"
“I personally admire director Xie Rui very much.” Huo Zhixing smiled. “So I want to co-invest in this film, as a small token of my passion for the film industry.”
"Heh, how much to bet?"
Two hundred million.
The children of celebrities stared at Huo Zhixing in disbelief.
"By the way, do you know someone named Liang Lu?" Huo Zhixing asked, glancing at Liang Jie as he did so.
Liang Jie's face was already very pale.
“I know him,” Lu Lishan replied. “What, you want to sign him to Yufeng Media?”
"No, I just heard that he and you are best buddies, so I just wanted to confirm with you."
"Where did this rumor come from?" Lu Lishan laughed heartily. "Liang Lu has too many negative news stories, and it's said that he also has a good-for-nothing son. Now no director wants to use him!"
Huo Zhixing nodded, "Okay, tell those directors that Liang Jie is no longer needed!"
He hung up the phone after saying that.
The boys then realized who they had messed with...
Huo Zhixing glanced at Jiang Can and smiled gently at her.
Completely ignore those few celebrity offspring who have no manners.
After the awards ceremony ended, Yin Cheng came downstairs and ran over to them with a smile as soon as she saw them.
He handed the trophy to Huo Zhixing and the prize money to Jiang Can.
"Keep this!" Jiang Can's eyes were a little moist. "I don't need anything right now. If you need anything, I can help you!"
"Sis, can you just let me do this once?" Yin Cheng insisted on giving it to her.
He was the youngest student in the entire department, yet he received the most awards.
Even Jiang Can couldn't understand where Yin Cheng's extraordinary medical talent came from.
However, she was genuinely happy for him.
"Sister, brother-in-law!" Yin Cheng grabbed them by the arms. "It's my treat today, let's go to the best restaurant in Yangcheng!"
