Kang Jiao suppressed her excitement and greeted them with her most perfect smile.
She was so grateful to Song Sifan! Song Sifan was so good to her! He didn't beat around the bush at all and directly helped her get resources.
Lawrence, who had just spoken, looked at Kang Jiao with even more fervor. "Oh, I have never seen such a beautiful woman as Miss Kang."
Kang Jiao said modestly, "There are many beauties today, Mr. Lawrence, you flatter me too much."
"No, they are all inferior to you. This is my honest opinion."
Upon hearing this, Kang Jiao became even more confident, and she felt that she had the right to do so!
Lawrence was very humorous, and he kept praising her. Kang Jiao was amused and kept laughing. When she suddenly came to her senses and went to look for Song Sifan, she found that he was no longer where he had been.
Seeing this, Lawrence said, "Are you looking for President Song? He must be very busy at this time. I can't bear to see such a beautiful woman alone, Miss Kang. May I buy you a drink?"
Kang Jiao nodded. "I'm honored."
She thought to herself that since she had already achieved her goal, she would no longer go looking for Song Sifan.
The second floor of the cruise ship.
They sat in a quiet corner. Lawrence brought over two glasses of champagne, handing one to Kang Jiao. He chatted with her with great interest about the movies he had made and the stars he had worked with.
As Kang Jiao listened, she was secretly surprised. There was no doubt that Lawrence had made many people famous, and Kang Jiao became even more patient.
After a while, Kang Jiao froze. She looked down and saw a large, fat hand reach out from under the table and place it on her thigh.
She had barely moved to refuse when Lawrence said, "Miss Kang, I'm currently preparing for a new film. Meeting you today is truly fate. May I ask you to act in my film?"
Kang Jia immediately looked at Lawrence. He was very fat, the typical physique of someone who had eaten too much chocolate. He had thinning hair, a round face, and was over forty years old. She had only focused on his identity as a famous director and therefore overlooked his appearance.
But upon closer inspection, she even felt a little nauseous.
“Mr. Lawrence…” Kang Jiao was about to speak.
Lawrence's actions became bolder, stroking her back and forth. "Miss Kang, I really like you. I was captivated by you the moment I saw you. Please don't reject me, okay?"
His gaze was also very explicit, making blatant advances towards her.
Kang Jiao struggled internally for a few seconds. This wasn't the first time she'd encountered something like this. Although Lawrence had said he wanted her to star in a movie, if she refused his advances, then the movie wouldn't be made!
She really wanted this opportunity; if she didn't take a gamble, when would she ever get ahead?
So, Kang Jiao forced a smile and relaxed her body. "Mr. Lawrence, I also admire your talent. May I ask what kind of film you are preparing? I would be very willing to work with you."
Lawrence excitedly downed a glass of champagne and pulled Kang Jiao up. "Ms. Kang, my script is in the lounge. Let's go talk about it now."
Kang Jiao stood up, nearly falling as Lawrence pulled her. She glanced at the man hurrying ahead of her; she was wearing high heels and was even taller than him.
A short while later, Lawrence led her to a lounge, slammed the door shut, and locked it.
Kang Jiao stood there uneasily. "Mr. Lawrence, where's the play/script?"
Lawrence quickly took off his coat, hugged Kang Jiao, and pushed her onto the bed. "Ms. Kang, the script isn't urgent. We can talk about it later."
Kang Jiao instinctively kicked and punched him. Even though she was prepared to make a sacrifice, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly!
Lawrence, however, was very strong and subdued her without any mercy.
Gradually, Kang Jiao's resistance slowly disappeared...
...
When Maomao and Tanzheng arrived at the main venue, many people came over to greet them.
Tan Zheng is a regular at film festivals, and many people know him, but they are clearly more interested in cats.
"Oh, I've seen another movie starring the two of you, 'The Queen,' it was absolutely perfect! Perhaps you'll come to the film festival again next year."
The cat politely chatted with these people, saying, "Thank you, and I appreciate your kind words."
Before long, the winners of the various awards were announced. "The Earl of the Empire" won the Best Feature Film award, and Tan Zheng and the director went up to accept the award together.
As the cat was clapping along with the crowd, she suddenly caught sight of someone out of the corner of her eye. She frowned, abruptly stood up, and left.
She chased after the person as they left the venue, but the person seemed to suddenly realize something and started running!
The cat ran after him and ran into an exhibition area. The area was dimly lit and had a complex structure. He wandered around, seemingly trying to shake off the cat.
Suddenly, he turned into a room, and the cat quickly followed him in, closing the door behind him.
The room was completely empty except for a few movie posters.
There was a huge window that was open to the sky, and the cat went over and took a look.
Below was a swimming pool, its blue water shimmering, but no one was in sight.
"You got away again!" the cat said, a little annoyed.
She turned back, having been so focused on chasing after someone when she came in that it took her quite a while to find her way out.
She took out her phone, about to call Mu Jin, but his call came in first.
The cat answered, "Ah Jin."
Mu Jin: "Where did you go?"
In just over ten minutes, Ah Jin had already discovered that she was no longer in the venue.
