Chapter 34



Wang Lianxuan has accepted the job of drawing character portraits for the crew and will come to the crew in the next few days.

After the show, Du Yuanzhe said, "We're not going back to the old house for dinner today. Let's go to Yun'an Club."

Since coming to this world, Du Yuanzhe has only paid attention to the entertainment industry and doesn't know much about the affairs of the powerful and wealthy. If he wants to know more about Wang Linxuan, he has to meet Lu Xuan and the others. He has already called Lu Xuan and asked him to set up a situation at the Yun'an Club.

Du Yuanzhe rushed to Yun'an Club as soon as the show ended, but he was still late.

Several people started to make a noise, "Yuanzhe, you invited us to the party, but you were late. This is not okay. You have to drink three cups as punishment."

As they spoke, they filled the three glasses.

Du Yuanzhe will have something to ask them later, so for now he can only listen to them.

"I was wrong about this. I will punish myself by drinking three cups."

Du Yuanzhe walked over and finished the three glasses of wine, then turned the glass upside down and asked, "Is that all right?"

Several people applauded together: "Second Young Master is very generous."

Lu Xuan pulled Du Yuanzhe to sit down and said, "I called everyone here as you said. What do you want?"

Du Yuanzhe said: "You all know that Jiang Chelin and I don't get along. I met Wang Linxuan on the set today, and suddenly I remembered that Jiang Chelin and Wang Linxuan have some relationship."

Lu Xuan smiled and continued, "More than that, when Wang Lianxuan was able to win over Jiang Chelin, many people were shocked. They broke up after Wang Lianxuan went abroad. Jiang Chelin had a particularly bad temper during that time. One of the brothers accidentally provoked him and was beaten up by him. During that time, everyone avoided Jiang Chelin."

Others knew something about Wang Lianxuan and Jiang Chelin.

"It's different now. I heard that Wang Lianxuan is pestering Jiang Chelin to get back together, but Jiang Chelin ignores her."

"You said Wang Linxuan is not bad looking and is also an internationally famous painter, so why does she have to cling to Jiang Chelin?"

"It's such a simple thing. Think about how much money a famous painter can make. It's probably not as much as Jiang Chelin makes in a day. If you can become Jiang's wife, you can have everything you want."

"With Jiang Chelin's bad temper, if it weren't for the money, who would be willing to put up with him?"

Du Yuanzhe asked: "Don't you know that Jiang Chelin already has a girlfriend?"

"So what if he has a girlfriend? Men always treat their first love differently. Look at how Wang Lianxuan has been pestering Jiang Chelin. Although Jiang Chelin didn't respond to her, he didn't do anything to her either. If someone else did that, Jiang would have taught her a lesson long ago."

Lu Xuan stroked his chin and said, "It looks like we are going to have something interesting to watch. These two women will fight sooner or later. I just want to know who Jiang Chelin will help."

"Tsk, what's so interesting about a fight between two women? It's nothing more than a secret plot. They can't fight openly. Jiang Chelin is so proud that he will definitely not allow such a thing to happen."

"I do know a piece of news, do you want to hear it?"

Lu Xuan urged, "Hurry up and tell me, don't keep us in suspense."

"You all know that I have some connections in the fashion circle. Wang Lianxuan has met with the fashion editor of AL magazine several times in private. The two of them deliberately avoided crowded places. There must be some shady purpose."

"Fuck, why are you acting like you're investigating a case? It's just a few private meetings, what's the big deal?"

"That's right, don't think too much, these have nothing to do with us."

Lu Xuan looked at Du Yuanzhe and said, "You asked this, are you trying to cause trouble for Jiang Chelin?"

Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "I am not interested in the intrigues between the two women. If they can make Jiang Chelin suffer, I will be very happy."

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "I heard that Jiang Chelin scolded you in the circle two days ago. What did you do to make him so angry?"

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Nothing, he just ruined a cooperation that he introduced to my brother. Du's is my territory after all, how can I let him succeed?"

When the others heard this, they all gave a thumbs up: "Second Young Master is awesome!"

They were a group of people who were both in awe and jealous of Jiang Chelin, and were of course happy to see him suffer.

Lu Xuan's eyes lit up: "You are really amazing. You promised to teach me a few moves, so don't go back on your word."

Du Yuanzhe's eyes flickered, and he said, "I will definitely keep my word. Now is a good opportunity for you to show off and get slapped in the face."

Lu Xuan quickly asked, "What is it?"

"There must be something going on when Wang Yanxuan met with that fashion editor. Find a private detective to keep an eye on her these few days and take photos of their meeting as evidence."

Lu Xuan was confused: "Why would I take a picture of this?"

Du Yuanzhe said: "If Wang Linxuan happens to do something bad, you can take pictures of the evidence and expose her online, and then lead the blame to Jiang Chelin, saying that it was because of Jiang Chelin's protection that Wang Linxuan was so reckless."

"Many netizens hate the rich. Once they see this kind of news, regardless of whether it is true or not, they will definitely curse Jiang Chelin to death. They will definitely feel great when that happens."

Lu Xuan hesitated: "Why is it going to Jiang Chelin again?"

Du Yuanzhe glanced at him and asked, "Is it more satisfying to make Jiang Chelin embarrassed, or to slap other people in the face?"

Lu Xuan was speechless.

"But if Jiang Chelin finds out that I'm the one behind this, he will definitely complain to my dad. What if my pocket money is confiscated?"

Du Yuanzhe said helplessly: "You are stupid, you can put all the blame on me. Even if your father has to give Jiang Chelin an explanation, he will definitely not really wrong you in private."

Lu Xuan's eyes lit up: "Yes, both the Du family and the Jiang family are better than ours. My dad doesn't want to offend either of them. Even if he deducts my pocket money, he will make it up to me."

The reason why these second-generation rich people are afraid of Jiang Chelin is mainly because Jiang Chelin can put pressure on their fathers. However, Yancheng is not dominated by the Jiang family alone. As long as other large groups are involved, Lu's father will not side with Jiang Chelin. The main reason is that the Lu family and the Jiang family have no cooperation, and Jiang Chelin's face is not big enough to make Lu's father ignore the Du family.

Seeing that there was no danger of having his pocket money deducted, Lu Xuan immediately made a decision: "I will find someone to keep an eye on Wang Lianxuan."

Du Yuanzhe said: "Remember to give me a copy of the surveillance records. I will see if I can find an opportunity to make Jiang Chelin suffer again."

Lu Xuan nodded: "Okay."

Lu Xuan was successfully asked to deal with Wang Lianxuan, so this gathering was not in vain.

Wang Lianxuan has a luck plundering system. Du Yuanzhe does not understand this plundering system, but the system allows him to maintain his character in front of Wang Lianxuan, which may mean that Wang Lianxuan also knows the plot. In this way, it is inconvenient for him to take action in many things, and it is safer to let Lu Xuanding in the front.

After the party, Du Yuanzhe returned to the old house and called Wei Lingling again to tell her that Wang Lianxuan had met with the fashion editor of AL magazine in private.

Wei Lingling frowned: "I have a schedule next week, which is to shoot the cover of AL magazine."

Du Yuanzhe guessed that Wang Lianxuan's behavior was aimed at Wei Lingling. After all, there was an additional luck-plundering system. In the novel, Wang Lianxuan was not so capable.

"I knew she had bad intentions."

"Yuanzhe, I'm so sorry for you this time. No matter what she wants to do, I know in advance so that I can take precautions."

Du Yuanzhe reminded again: "Wang Linxuan knew your schedule in advance, and she probably has spies in Huanxing Entertainment. From now on, your schedule should be kept confidential as much as possible."

Wei Lingling nodded: "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Lingling felt annoyed.

If it weren't for Jiang Chelin, how could she have encountered such an unexpected disaster.

Just at this moment Jiang Chelin called. Wei Lingling hung up the call directly and turned off the phone.

Jiang Chelin heard the sound of his cell phone and frowned. He called again, but found that the phone was turned off. His face turned dark and he threw the phone onto the sofa.

After a while, he picked up the phone again and made a call: "He Chen, come out and drink with me!"

......

The next day, when Du Yuanzhe arrived at the set, he saw a large bouquet of roses at the door and wondered, "What's going on?"

A staff member nearby whispered, "Mr. He is pursuing Teacher Yu Qingxue."

"Mr. He?"

Who is this again?

Xiao Pang said, "Brother Zhe, the biggest investor in our drama is named He, so Mr. He should be the investor's son, He Chen."

He Chen?

Du Yuanzhe has a strange look on his face. What happened recently? Important characters appear one by one.

He Chen is a member of Jiang Chelin's circle, a playboy. On weekdays, he is either drinking and chatting with his friends, or chasing women. He changes girlfriends more frequently than he changes clothes.

I didn't expect that he would chase someone into the crew.

When Du Yuanzhe walked into the set, he immediately saw a round-faced, handsome man surrounding Yu Qingxue, asking about her well-being from time to time.

Yu Qingxue looked impatient: "Mr. He, I still have to film, please don't disturb me."

He Chen took two steps back and said with a smile, "Then I won't say anything and will just watch you film here."

Zhu Mi sat behind the camera with a sullen face. He didn't like outsiders coming to the crew, but the He family was the largest investor, so Zhu Mi had to endure it even if he was impatient.

Yu Qingxue is the female character with the most important role in the play. She is Mu Huang's liaison and her only task is to report Mu Huang's intelligence to the organization. For safety reasons, the two have been in contact through special channels. Mu Huang knows her identity, but she does not know Mu Huang's true identity.

It was Yu Qingxue's turn to act next. She tried her best to ignore He Chen's presence, and kept reciting her lines silently while thinking about how to act next.

Yu Qingxue's apparent identity is a dancer. Today's scene is the first time she meets Mu Huang. She doesn't know that Mu Huang is her superior, but she knows that Mu Huang works in the Secret Service Headquarters and intends to build a good relationship with Mu Huang.

As the director shouted "start", Du Yuanzhe and Yu Qingxue entered their roles at the same time.

The lights were flashing in the party and many people were dancing on the dance floor. Yu Qingxue, wearing a cheongsam, walked gracefully through the dance floor. As she passed by, many people greeted her with a smile.

"What are you doing!"

The actors were performing with great concentration when He Chen's loud shout interrupted everyone's mood.

Zhu Mi suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. He, what's wrong with you?"

He Chen frowned and pointed at a person on the dance floor, saying, "He secretly touched Qingxue's waist. Even if it was an act, he couldn't take advantage of her."

He hasn't touched it yet.

Zhu Mi's eyebrows jumped: "That's what the plot requires. The script requires him to do this action, not to take advantage."

He Chen was embarrassed: "So it was required by the plot."

Zhu Mi asked, "Can we continue filming?"

He Chen sat down again: "Go on."

Yu Qingxue's face flushed, and she felt even more resistant to He Chen.

Restart shooting

Mu Huang was drinking at the bar, listening to the music on the dance floor with an intoxicated look on his face, with a colleague from the Secret Service Headquarters next to him.

"Team Leader Mu, isn't this place nice?"

Mu Huang nodded: "I have to thank Team Leader Liu for bringing me to such a wonderful place."

Yu Qingxue walked over across the dance floor, leaned into Team Leader Liu's arms skillfully, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, today..."

"stop!"

He Chen came out again and called for a stop.

Zhu Mi threw the headphones on the table and asked, "What on earth does Mr. He want to do?"

He Chen said: "This action is too intimate, change it to arm in arm."

Zhu Mi's chest heaved with anger: "This character's personality is like this. She is an undercover agent. Close contact with the target helps her steal intelligence quietly. What can she get by holding her arm?"

He Chen frowned: "Then we can change it to stealing intelligence when passing by each other. Isn't that how it's played out in many TV shows?"

Zhu Mi said coldly: "That's another TV series. This plot doesn't make sense in my series. I'm glad that Mr. He came to inspect the crew, but please don't interfere with the crew's filming."

He Chen said sullenly, "Of course I don't understand as well as Director Zhu. Since Director Zhu thinks my request is unreasonable, please come up with a reasonable plot. Anyway, change the previous plot."

Yu Qingxue came over and said, "Mr. He, please leave!"

He Chen was stunned: "What?"

Yu Qingxue said, "Hasn't Mr. He seen it yet? Because of you, we can't continue filming normally."

"There is nothing wrong with the plot and actions designed in the script. I have no opinion. Even as an actor, I have no opinion. Please stop interfering."

He Chen looked around and said gently, "Qingxue, don't think too much. Compared to the many requests of other investors, I just asked Director Zhu to change a move. After all, my company invested so much money, and I can't even change a move. Director Zhu, do you think my family is being taken advantage of?"

"If that's the case, I might have to talk to my dad about whether to continue investing."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the crew changed their expressions.

Zhu Mi had the ugliest look on his face.

This drama has so many twists and turns. First, the male lead was changed, and now it is facing the crisis of investment withdrawal.

The scene became very quiet, not a sound was heard.

Du Yuanzhe chuckled to break the quiet atmosphere and said, "Mr. He is really impressive."

He Chen looked at Du Yuanzhe, frowned and asked, "What advice do you have, Second Young Master Du?"

Du Yuanzhe walked up to him and said with a smile, "I thought this play was great before. If you invest in it, you will definitely make money. It's a pity that Director Zhu feels that the investment is enough and is unwilling to accept more. If the He family plans to withdraw the investment, please hurry up. Our Du family is waiting."

He Chen's eyes were slightly cold: "Second Young Master Du, we have no grudges against each other, why do you have to put me down like this?"

Du Yuanzhe narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't Jiang Chelin scold me in front of you? That's impossible. You two are such close friends, you can't be unaware of the fact that I just tricked him."

"I don't like to reason. I just hate people who get along well with Jiang Chelin."

He Chen's face turned pale, and he said angrily, "Du Yuanzhe, stop pretending to be generous. The Du Corporation is managed by your brother, and you have no real power at all. Investing in such a big project as a TV series is no joke. You can't just invest if you say so."

Du Yuanzhe said with a sigh, "It seems that since I am not in the same circle, Mr. He doesn't take me seriously."

He called Du Yuanwen in front of He Chen and said on the speaker: "Brother, I want to invest in a TV series, the one I'm filming now. The largest investor suddenly wants to withdraw the investment. If the crew has no money to continue filming, my previous work will be useless. I don't want to work in vain."

Du Yuanwen said gently, "It's just an investment in a TV series. It's not the first time. I'll hold a meeting and decide on it soon. I guarantee that once you withdraw your investment, the company's funds will be replenished."

"Thank you, brother."

Du Yuanzhe hung up the phone and waved his phone at He Chen: "I've already told my brother, please go back and convince Mr. He as soon as possible, don't let Du wait too long."

He Chen was so angry that he couldn't speak. He looked at Du Yuanzhe coldly, turned around and left.

Du Yuanzhe said loudly: "Go and throw away the flowers at the door. We are a film crew, not a hotel. We don't need roses to decorate the room."

"Let's go pick it up now."

More than a dozen people responded.

He Chen stumbled and quickened his pace to leave the set.

"Teacher Du is awesome!"

When He Chen left, everyone cheered.

Yu Qingxue also smiled. She was really afraid that the crew would be defunded because of He Chen, the playboy. Such a good crew should not be ruined by He Chen's willfulness.

Zhu Mi came over and sighed, "Yuanzhe, I'm so sorry for you today."

Du Yuanzhe laughed and said, "Director Zhu, you are too serious. He Chen is just talking big. He has no say in the company's affairs. Mr. He is a shrewd businessman. If he wanted to withdraw his investment, he would have done so when Sun Yao got into trouble. He didn't do so then, and he won't do so now. Director Zhu may be filming, and this matter will most likely be left unresolved."

Zhu Mi said: "I also think that Mr. He is not a person who goes back on his words. It's a pity that the father is a tiger and the son is a dog."

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said nothing.

He Chen is not actually a bad guy, and he has never thought about withdrawing his investment. He just wants to use this to achieve his own goals.

People in their circle seem to be born with the ability to take advantage of others' power. Du Yuanzhe is no exception and is taking advantage of Du Yuanwen's power.

After everyone dispersed, Du Yuanzhe sent a message to Du Yuanwen to express his gratitude. He had agreed with Du Yuanwen long before that he would play a play with him, otherwise Du Yuanwen would not have decided to invest without asking any questions.

After this incident, Du Yuanzhe's status in the crew rose sharply. In people's hearts, he was equivalent to saving the entire crew. For the first time, they felt that it was good to have a rich second-generation in the crew.

Xiaopang quietly raised his thumb and said, "Brother Zhe, you were so cool just now."

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "It's cool to have money, but it's overestimating yourself if you don't have money."

Xiaopang choked and said, "Brother Zhe, what you said makes a lot of sense."

.....

Cloud Shore Hotel

He Chen gulped down a bottle of wine and said angrily, "Fuck, I'm just chasing a woman, what does Du Er have to do with it? He actually humiliated me in public. I've never lost face like this before."

Zhou Chenlang said helplessly, "You know what the Second Young Master Du is doing to Che Lin. You know he's there, but you still act like the eldest young master in front of him. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

He Chen was also very upset: "Che Lin asked the director to change the kissing scene for his girlfriend, and the director happily changed it. I just wanted to change it to a hugging scene, why is it so difficult? Everyone came out to confront me, and I said the withdrawal of investment in a fit of anger. When I got home, I was scolded by my father. Why am I so unlucky!"

Zhou Chenlang couldn't help laughing: "You can't even learn. Che Lin's director that time was a man who liked entertainment. In essence, Che Lin was his superior. Who dares not to listen to the superior? And you are just the son of an investor, not an investor. It's normal for him not to listen to you. In fact, you really can't make decisions for your father."

These words made He Chen even more depressed, and he gulped down another bottle of wine.

Jiang Chelin, who was silent at the side, said: "Du Yuanzhe is a plague god. It is unlucky to meet him."

Zhou Chenlang said: "He was not so crazy before. I don't know why he has become more and more reckless."

Jiang Chelin snorted coldly: "He thinks that he has a chance if Lingling and I have a conflict. What a foolish dream!"

He Chen said, "Yes, Che Lin, don't let him succeed. I'll keep this matter in mind for the time being. If I ever get the chance, I will avenge today's crime."

Zhou Chenlang stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

He Chen was puzzled: "Why are you so busy recently?"

Zhou Chenlang said, "My dad has been looking for partners recently, so I am in charge of all the company's affairs. It's a mess, and reading the documents gives me a headache."

He Chen showed an expression of deep sympathy.

After Zhou Chenlang left, He Chen sighed, "Chenlang really has no intention of asking us for help."

Jiang Chelin said: "Chen Lang doesn't like to mix interests into our relationship. If his father hadn't forced him last time, he wouldn't have come to me."

He Chen said angrily: "It's all Du Yuanzhe's fault, otherwise Shen Lang wouldn't be so hard-working now."

......

A few days later, on the top floor of Qianying Entertainment

Cheng Yu knocked on the door and came in and said, "President, Mr. Zhou from Dingsheng Furniture is downstairs and he wants to see you."

Xia Ningmi said without even looking up: "No!"

Cheng Yu said: "Mr. Zhou is not alone, he is followed by reporters and photographers."

Xia Ningmi said coldly: "Let the public relations department handle this matter."

"yes."

Zhou Heng waited downstairs, but instead of Xia Ningmi, he saw the public relations director of Qianying Entertainment.

The PR director didn't look at Zhou Heng, but just looked at the reporter and said, "Our company is not accepting any interviews right now. Please leave now."

The reporter said: "We were invited by President Zhou."

"He is not from Qianying Entertainment and cannot be the boss of Qianying Entertainment."

The reporter didn't want to leave, and said, "Mr. Zhou came here specifically to apologize to Mr. Xia. Since Mr. Zhou has repented, shouldn't Mr. Xia meet him? After all, Mr. Zhou is Mr. Xia's biological father."

The PR director took out his cell phone, turned on the camera and said, "Please repeat what you just said. We will let netizens judge whether your statement is correct or not."

The reporter looked embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything.

The PR director said again: "Please leave as soon as possible."

Xia Ning was right in this matter, and any moral kidnapping would be useless to her.

The reporter had no choice but to leave with the photographer.

Zhou Heng's face darkened. He knew that once the reporter left, he would never see Xia Ningmi again.

The PR director didn't even look at him and turned away.

President's Office

Cheng Yuhui reported: "President, Mr. Zhou is gone."

Xia Ning said: "If he comes again in the future, he doesn't need to tell me, just refuse him directly."

"I'll tell the front desk."

When Zhou Heng returned home, he saw Zhou Chenlang at home and asked, "Chenlang, do you know where your sister lives?"

Zhou Chenlang thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be Jincheng Jiayuan."

Zhou Heng nodded: "I will go to Jincheng Garden to wait for her later."

He couldn't enter Jincheng Jiayuan, but he could wait for Xia Ningmi at the gate of the community.

Zhou Chenlang said: "As long as we show our sincerity, sister will always forgive us."

Zhou Heng said coldly: "I hope so."
