Chapter 152 "Tang Monk's Flesh" Gong Chen
"Hello." Gong Chen's voice was cold. His eyes passed through Liu Xi and looked at Qian Muchue who was smiling and socializing with others.
Liu Xi was not dissuaded by Gong Chen's indifference. Anyone who knew Gong Chen knew that this big man was cold and aloof towards everyone. Of course, Liu Xi had also heard these rumors.
"I'm sorry to disappoint President Gong today. It's a pity that I didn't get the award." Liu Xi said modestly, stroking her long hair with her right hand, and the scent of women's perfume filled the air.
Gong Chen frowned slightly. He didn't like the smell of perfume, especially when it was sprayed on other people.
"Ms. Liu, you're worrying too much. I'm not disappointed." Gong Chen told the truth.
Because he was his employee, Gong Chen said a few more words, but Liu Xi heard something else. She felt that Gong Chen was trying to comfort her, and the smile on her face became brighter. She wanted to say a few witty words in return, but just then a company boss came up to greet Gong Chen.
There is no need. Gong Chen really doesn't like to attend such social occasions. Many people he knows or doesn't know will come up to talk to him. Men are after his money, and women are probably after him and his money.
The guests who attended the celebration party were either from the entertainment industry or half of it. A-list actresses like Liu Xi, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, were generally known to everyone. They came to curry favor with Gong Chen's boss. Knowing that Liu Xi was an artist of Qichen Film and Television, and seeing that she was very close to Gong Chen, he couldn't help but think more about it and praised Liu Xi again.
Zhao Wan on the other side also saw Gong Chen and was very surprised. Gong Chen was the biggest boss at the party. If she could get his favor, she wouldn't have to work so hard to make connections, and the people present would only curry favor with her.
Zhao Wan took a deep breath, put on her best self, and walked towards Gong Chen in high heels. She was not afraid when she saw Liu Xi next to her.
"Hello, Mr. Gong. I didn't expect to meet you here. I was wondering if I would have the chance to thank you." Zhao Wan said to Gong Chen with a sweet smile, as if she didn't see anyone else. Her words made people feel that the two of them were very familiar with each other.
When Zhao Wan came over, Liu Xi noticed her and knew at first glance that she was here to make trouble. As expected, although Zhao Wan was also a candidate for the Best Actress in the Magnolia Awards, Liu Xi never took her seriously.
Although she despised Zhao Wan's little thoughts in her heart, Liu Xi appeared very kind on the surface.
"Is there any connection between Miss Zhao and our President Gong? I'm quite curious." Without waiting for Gong Chen to speak, Liu Xi asked with a smile.
Of course, Gong Chen had no intention of responding to Zhao Wan. Zhao Wan was not angry at all about Liu Xi's response. Instead, she felt a little relieved. After all, the last time the crew visited her, Gong Chen was very cold to her. Now she mustered up the courage to step forward and say hello. Zhao Wan was also afraid that Gong Chen would ignore her, which would be too embarrassing.
"Sister Liu Xi, please don't tease me. I am really grateful to President Gong for being nominated for the Magnolia Award this time." Zhao Wan said with a smile.
The call of "Sister Liu Xi" directly stimulated Liu Xi. Although her appearance is still online, age has always been a taboo for her. As a female artist, she will have some age anxiety when she is over 30.
No matter what Liu Xi was thinking, she still kept a smile on her face. Gong Chen was a little impatient listening to them and frowned slightly. The boss who had just come up to chat with them watched the two female stars talking back and forth and was tactful enough not to say anything.
"If it weren't for the investment from Qichen Film and Television, there might not be the current 'Nine-Tailed Fox', and I wouldn't be standing here. Mr. Gong even came to visit the crew last year. I am really grateful to him."
Noticing that Gong Chen looked unhappy, Zhao Wan thought that he was unhappy that her words had caused misunderstanding, so she quickly explained.
The movie "Nine-Tailed Fox" was invested by Qichen Film and Television. Liu Xi knew about this a long time ago. After all, the box office of this movie was on many hot searches and the investors were also reported. At that time, she felt sorry that such a good movie did not use their own people.
But when Liu Xi heard that Gong Chen went to visit the crew of "Nine-Tailed Fox", she was very surprised. She had filmed several self-produced dramas of Qi Chen Film and Television, but Gong Chen had never come to visit the crew.
Looking at Zhao Wan's smiling face, Liu Xi couldn't help but think more.
Qian Muchue looked at a man in front of her who claimed to be a director. He was introducing his big production that was about to start shooting and wanted to invite her to play the leading female role. Qian Muchue refused on the grounds that her schedule was not available. Upon hearing this, the unknown director regretfully went to find someone else.
This drama sounds unreliable. It is obvious that the director is attracted by her popularity and wants to trick her into joining.
Although many people came to talk to Qian Muchue today, they were all not very capable. A newcomer like Qian Muchue, even though she won the Magnolia Award, was not qualified to be approached by them.
So, after dealing with some unreliable small directors and investors, Qian Muchue saw two butterflies surrounding her husband not far away. Even though they were some distance away, she could still feel Gong Chen's impatience.
In Qian Muchue's opinion, Gong Chen was like a piece of fragrant Tang Monk's meat at the cocktail party. Men and women all wanted to take a bite. Don't look at the fact that there were only two butterflies now, because Liu Xi's seniority was there. She was like a big demon. Other small demons didn't dare to step forward and offend him without the ability.
Qian Muchue felt a little unhappy when she saw this scene, and then she took the unfinished red wine in her hand and walked towards the piece of Tang Monk's meat, uh, no, towards Gong Chen.
Before Liu Xi and Zhao Wan could decide the winner, she saw Qian Muchue, the person she disliked the most at the party, coming over. Liu Xi frowned slightly. The newcomers nowadays really don't know the rules, are very ambitious, and are not afraid of getting into trouble.
Many people around Gong Chen were secretly paying attention to the situation. Seeing Qian Muchue also walking over, everyone became more eager to watch the fun. These three people were competing for the Best Actress Award at the Magnolia Awards before, and Qian Muchue took the first place. Now they are gathered together again. Are they going to stage the drama of the year?
Seeing Qian Muchue coming over, the impatience on Gong Chen's face faded away. It was not easy. His beloved wife finally knew to look for him.
Facing the unfriendly gazes of Liu Xi and Zhao Wan, Qian Muchue was thinking about how to inadvertently show her "domineering aura" as the queen, so that these beautiful women would give up and stop staring at the men who were already taken.
But before she could speak, Liu Xi, who had always looked down on her, actually took the initiative to speak.
"Ms. Qian, congratulations on winning the Magnolia Award for Best Actress. I'll toast you a glass." Liu Xi said generously, raising the red wine glass in her hand.
After Liu Xi finished speaking, she tilted her head back and took an elegant sip of red wine. Her slender neck looked very beautiful against the red wine glass. Liu Xi took the initiative to launch an offensive. She looked down on Zhao Wan, a small character, but she would not underestimate Qian Muchue, who had snatched the Magnolia Award from her and whose appearance was no less than hers.
Competitions between women have always been secretive, let alone female artists whose acting skills can compete for the Magnolia Award. So, what everyone saw was that Liu Xi was really generous, and the picture of Liu Xi drinking was very beautiful.
"Thank you." Qian Muchue replied with a smile, her lips lightly touching the red wine.
