Liu Zi raised an eyebrow in surprise. She hadn't expected Director Wang to be so polite. It seemed that getting through this hurdle tonight wouldn't be easy!
After the press conference, she straightened her clothes and walked towards the banquet hall.
The hall was brightly lit, and the handsome men and beautiful women of the entertainment industry, dressed in revealing clothes, socialized everywhere, all striving to make a name for themselves.
Liu Zi selected a few dishes from the self-service area, found a corner in the hall, and sat down to enjoy her meal.
It must be said that the food prepared by the kitchen of the People's Hotel is quite good, especially some of the Chinese dishes, which are very authentic.
Just as Liu Zi was enjoying her meal, a fat man in a suit, holding a glass of champagne and acting like he was the most handsome man in the world, approached her.
Liu Zi frowned. Just how much cologne had this man sprayed? It was suffocating her.
"Miss, how about I buy you a drink?"
Fatty Wang tossed his head and took a sip of his champagne, pretending to be sophisticated.
Liu Zi looked incredulous. Just how shameless was this man? Everyone was there to eat at the banquet, yet he was acting like he was going to treat everyone.
Are you out of your mind?!
"What?"
Fatty Wang was somewhat taken aback. Didn't this woman recognize him?
How could I speak to him like that?
"I mean, are you out of your mind?! Using someone else's money to buy you wine as a way to pick up girls, aren't you being a bit too stingy?" Liu Zi said with a laugh.
After blinking twice in a daze, Fatty Wang didn't bring up the topic again.
"My cousin is the manager of Huanhuan Media Company in Beijing. I think you have good qualities. Do you want to be a star?"
Wang Pangzi thought to himself, "If it weren't for the fact that you're not bad-looking, I would have made you regret it."
An unknown starlet who wants to act high and mighty—he'll show her how to disappear from this industry.
"What's it to me! Get lost if you have nothing to do with it!"
Liu Zi had a headache from the smell, and her good mood about enjoying the delicious food was ruined. What bad luck!
"You stinking bastard, are you looking for death?!"
Wang Pangzi was angered and raised his hand, ready to teach Liu Zi a lesson.
Liu Zi had been on guard against the other party for a long time, but she didn't expect the other party to be so tasteless as to dare to make a move in front of everyone.
Liu Zi wasn't going to let her get away with it; she picked up the plate on the table and was about to throw it at her.
But before she could make a move, the fat man was stopped.
Hitting women is not a good habit!
Li Mu spoke coldly, grabbing the other person's raised hand.
"ah!"
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in my business! Let me go or I'll make you regret it!" Fatty Wang tried to struggle, but he couldn't break free.
"Hmph! What do you want to do about it!"
Li Mu was tall, appearing to be a head taller than Fatty Wang. Hearing Fatty Wang's threatening tone, he tightened his grip even more.
Fatty Wang screamed in pain, and everyone in the hall turned to look at the corner where they were.
Upon hearing the commotion, Director Wang quickly led his men over.
He wasn't very familiar with either of the two men, only recognizing Liu Zi. Seeing her slightly displeased expression, he immediately asked, "Miss Liu, what happened?"
"I'm so sorry, Director Wang, for interrupting your banquet. It's just that this manager of Huanhuan Media's cousin wanted to sign me as a star, and after I refused, he got angry and tried to hit me. Luckily, this gentleman came to my aid, otherwise..."
Liu Zi hadn't finished speaking, but Director Wang already understood what was going on.
His face turned grim, and he looked seriously at the banquet organizers next to him.
"How did he get in? How are you doing your job?"
The assistant and organizer quickly apologized and called security personnel from outside.
Li Mu handed Wang Pangzi over to the security guards, who then dragged Wang Pangzi out.
Only then did he look around in a panic, hoping that his cousin would come to his rescue.
If he gets thrown out today, the entire entertainment industry in Beijing will laugh at him tomorrow. How will he ever face anyone again?
Fatty Wang actually overestimates himself; most of the people who usually flatter him are minor celebrities in the entertainment industry.
She was attracted to him because his family was wealthy, generous, and occasionally provided them with resources.
Wang Pangzi's cousin hid in the crowd, not daring to show her face. There were too many big shots at this banquet, and she couldn't afford to offend them.
She hadn't originally planned to bring her cousin today, but he had come to her house early in the morning and kept pestering her, even promising to give her a designer handbag, so she couldn't resist and agreed.
She knew her cousin's character; they were always willing to give and take, so she didn't say anything.
But this time he has caused her such a big trouble, offending Director Wang from Hong Kong and General Manager Li from the Beijing business circle. Is he trying to ruin her?
Liu Zi wasn't at a disadvantage either. Seeing the ugly expressions on everyone's faces, she touched her own face and said, "Director Wang, it seems you'll have to give me a role in the next movie. There are talent scouts begging me to be a star!"
Director Wang was taken aback for a moment, then came to his senses and burst into laughter.
"Great! Of course I'd love to! I hope you won't refuse."
"I was just kidding, let's forget it! Filming movies is too tiring, I can't do it." Liu Zi shook her head, her face full of refusal.
The people around were amazed. In this industry, who wouldn't want to act in a big director's film? They never expected that someone would actually turn them away.
Who exactly is this woman?
Everyone had doubts, mainly because Liu Zi's face was too new; no one had ever seen her in the industry before.
Just then, a person squeezed out from the crowd.
It was Xu Jin, with Lin Lianlian following behind him.
"Miss Liu, are you alright?"
"Huh? You haven't left yet?" Xu Jin had just mentioned that they were taking a flight back to Hong Kong that afternoon.
“We’ve cancelled our plane tickets. Sister Lianlian would like to schedule a time to talk with you. We can wait, whichever is convenient for you.” Xu Jin ignored the people around him and adopted a very humble attitude.
None of the onlookers left; they were all people in the industry. Xu Jin was someone I knew; he was an employee of Jin Xing Records, known for his strong work ability, and I heard he was recently transferred to Lin Lianlian's side as an assistant manager.
Liu Zi was somewhat surprised. She looked up at Lin Lianlian, who returned her a serene smile.
Liu Ci lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said to Xu Jin, "It's only because of you that you contacted me in advance next time, instead of always catching me off guard."
Xu Jin was overjoyed to learn that Liu Zi had agreed; the fortune slip from Puji Temple was truly accurate!
They said he would meet a benefactor this year, and this is indeed a benefactor!
"I'll contact you later, and we can arrange a time then." Liu Zi didn't say anything more; there were so many people watching!
"well!"
After receiving a definite answer, Xu Jin nodded to Wang Dao and stepped aside.
"You silly girl, you've even gotten someone to follow you to my banquet," Director Wang teased with a smile.
Liu Zi just smiled and didn't say anything. She didn't believe that Director Wang didn't know that Lin Lianlian's song had been stolen.
The reason for agreeing to give him the song was out of respect for Xu Jin, and of course, it was also to win him over.
Wang Jian still needs a few more years of experience; she currently lacks a shrewd and capable agent.
