Chapter 253 Thank you, Boss
Even though the Xie family is in business, their style in Baogang was not much better than that of a gang.
It is said that the reason why Mr. Xie retired was because he wanted to have a son... Later, when he really had a son, he only did business and also started doing charity.
None of those who can do big business in Baogang are ordinary people.
"You can move in with me too." Hu Xiaoxiao was worried about Dong Peiyu. Dong Peiyu's current residence was far away from Tiancui City, and she couldn't get there if something happened.
The house in Tiancui City that Dong Peiyu just bought has not been renovated yet, and she will not be able to move in until next year at the earliest.
Dong Peiyu said, "Don't worry about me. They won't cause me any trouble. My grandfather was an anti-Japanese general. Several elders from major societies in Baogang have some friendship with my grandfather and respect him very much. So ordinary people don't dare to cause me any trouble. If it was Brother Hu who was beaten just now, I might have to be more careful, but Yan Weikang is just a henchman who runs errands for Brother Hu. If they beat him up, then so be it. If the people from Sanren come to find me, I will at most compensate him for his medical expenses."
Without any connections, Dong Peiyu, a woman, wouldn't have dared to single-handedly become a film industry agent. However, the elders of several major organizations had either passed away or retired in recent years, leaving her with little support from her elders.
"It's better to be careful. If anything happens, call me immediately." Hu Xiaoxiao reminded Dong Peiyu.
Dong Peiyu was even more worried about Hu Xiaoxiao: "Do you want me to find some bodyguards for you?"
"No need." Hu Xiaoxiao refused. Even the vicious kidnappers were almost beaten to death by her. Now that Brother Hu's thugs dared to come after her, it was unknown who would be in greater pain.
Dong Peiyu asked again: "How about I find a way to get you a gun?"
"That's fine." Hu Xiaoxiao had long coveted such a powerful weapon, but she hadn't expected Dong Peiyu to be capable of it. "Can you get it?"
"As long as you have money." Dong Peiyu also has one herself.
Hu Xiaoxiao immediately wrote a check to Dong Peiyu. In addition to the money for the gun, there was also money for her car replacement. "You've been driving this car for several years, right? It's a good time to buy a new one."
Dong Peiyu took it generously and said, "Thank you, boss."
Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes curved in a smile; she discovered she kind of liked being called "boss." "You said earlier that if the negotiation fails, there's another solution. What's that solution?"
Dong Peiyu received the check and was happy to see that the amount was enough to buy a nice car. However, she became depressed again after hearing what Hu Xiaoxiao said.
This method is a retreat with no way out.
If possible, she would rather give Brother Hu some money to resolve the matter. But after the negotiation failed, they had no other choice but to take this step.
"Go pay your respects to the pier."
Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao's curious eyes, Dong Peiyu said, "Baogang's societies vary in size. Although Brother Hu's Sanren has nearly 10,000 members, it's still far behind the big societies. The largest societies had over 100,000 members at their peak. If you want Brother Hu to be afraid of you and not dare to attack you or use tricks on your film, you have to find a bigger boss to back you. Baogang's society is very complicated, and there are many big bosses that Brother Hu is afraid of."
Dong Peiyu added, "At the TV station you used to work for, Ji Sheng was a very influential figure. But now Ji Sheng has focused on the TV station. His film business has been shrinking, and he's handed the management of Ji's Cinema to his subordinates, so he doesn't get involved much anymore. I even heard that Ji Sheng wants to sell Ji's Cinema."
Therefore, even if Hu Xiaoxiao knew Ji Sheng, it would not be appropriate for him to seek support from Ji Sheng.
"The person we want to worship must be influential in the film industry, have a say, and be able to fight evil with evil, making Brother Tiger wary of him." Dong Peiyu rubbed his temples, feeling a headache. He said, "I believe you have heard that the female stars who can gain the support of these big men are basically their lovers. I don't want you to make such a big sacrifice, so the number of people we can choose from is very small."
Hu Xiaoxiao nodded, listening attentively. Dong Peiyu had already been warned by someone, and more than one person. Female celebrities, especially beautiful ones, often had erotic stories with bigwigs. It wasn't their will, but rather the shady world of the industry.
"Do you know who the artist I used to manage was?" Dong Peiyu suddenly asked Hu Xiaoxiao.
"Angela Dai." Hu Xiaoxiao once heard Mingxu say that Angie Dai was a woman with excellent acting skills, beautiful looks and a gentle personality. She suddenly retired from the screen and got married at the peak of her career, which surprised many people.
There are many rumors about Dai Anqi's sudden marriage. Dong Peiyu originally didn't want to tell others about this, but she is now Hu Xiaoxiao's agent. Hu Xiaoxiao might encounter the same situation as Dai Anqi in the future, so she told the story of Dai Anqi being forced to retire, and hoped to use this to remind Hu Xiaoxiao.
"Angel is a very pure person. She loves acting. She once told me she wanted to do it for the rest of her life. When I tried to persuade her to get married, she cried all night." Dong Peiyu's eyes welled up with a strong sense of reluctance. Remembering that painful night, she still felt a pang of pain. "If there was a second way, I would never have extinguished her passion for acting..."
Like many other female celebrities, Angie Tai was a beauty with a great figure, and soon caught the eye of a powerful figure. He wanted her to be his woman, but she refused. The more she refused, the more he aroused his desire to conquer her. To force her into submission, he resorted to many underhanded tactics, including informing other film companies not to allow her to act in films and forcing her to sign a contract to film a pornographic film.
Dai Anqi can either go to shoot pornographic movies or accompany that big boss, one of the two choices.
Dong Peiyu didn't expect that such a big loophole would occur due to a momentary negligence. After learning about this, she was so angry that she had a fight with someone.
The company that Angie Tai signed the pornographic film contract with was a big company in the industry. Even though Dong Peiyu tried every possible way and offered no amount of compensation, the other party was unwilling to terminate the contract and threatened that if Angie Tai refused to shoot, they would cut off one of her legs and disfigure her.
Finally, Dong Peiyu was forced to seek help from an old friend of her grandfather, and used the last bit of incense between her grandfather and the old friend to resolve the matter. Although the contract was dissolved, if Dai Anqi remained in the circle, the boss would have countless ways to deal with her.
Dai Anqi had no choice but to quit the entertainment industry.
"At the time, Anqi had a boyfriend who treated her very well, and their relationship had always been good. Although he wasn't wealthy, he came from a well-off family, and his family had some influence, so I persuaded her to marry him. Xiaoxiao, you know what? It's not easy to retire from the entertainment industry with a clean slate and not be treated as a plaything. It's really hard for us women."
