"Oh!" Mentioning Wang Dahai made him perk up:
"You also think this nickname suits Hua Hua well, right?! I learned it from your Director Liu; that's what he calls your investor."
You city folks really know how to have fun! They're both so old, yet they still have such a romantic side!
Ji Qian felt like a badger taking a walk in a melon field. She was walking peacefully when suddenly a melon came flying at her and hit her in the face. She couldn't dodge it.
The live stream chat was slightly choppy due to this shocking revelation.
Actually, netizens don't usually care much about the love lives of directors, but the investor of this show is really too famous, and what she's most famous for is her love life.
As is widely known, the investor of "Walking into the Truth" is a super-rich woman who lost seven husbands in a row, known as the "Black Widow" in the industry—Ms. Xie Ting.
Ms. Xie Ting is also a legendary figure in the entertainment industry.
Xie Ting is the only daughter of Xie, a real estate tycoon. After inheriting the family fortune, she began to venture into the entertainment industry, seeking out talented young men to invest in her.
Each of her seven husbands was someone she had invested in.
What makes her legendary is that, thanks to her investments, each of her husbands achieved the highest level of success in their respective fields before their deaths, such as becoming an international director, an international film star, and the top photographer in China.
It has to be said that Xie Ting's eye for choosing a partner is as good as her eye for investing. Although her seven husbands were poor, they were all very capable, which is why they were able to rise to prominence with her financial support.
Unfortunately, besides being exceptionally talented, these seven individuals shared another common trait: they all died young.
Apart from the first one, which lasted five years, the other six of his marriages with Xie Ting lasted no more than two years.
Moreover, the seven people died in different ways: some died of illness, some drowned, some were in car accidents, and some fell off cliffs.
The most outrageous cause of death was that of the fifth director, who was an internationally renowned figure.
It is said that he was still filming on set before he died. During a break, he went to the toilet and accidentally tripped over the wires on the ground, fell headfirst into the toilet, and never got up again.
After Xie Ting's seventh husband passed away, almost the entire entertainment industry was speculating about her next target.
Because Xie Ting had previously favored impoverished but talented young men, no one expected that she would actually fall for Director Liu, who, although somewhat successful, was middle-aged and whose hair was thinning.
Director Liu never expected that his relationship, which he had kept secret for several months, would be exposed in such a supernatural way. Even more unexpectedly, netizens' first reaction wasn't to offer their blessings, but rather to question his age.
[Didn't my sister Xie always have her eye on young, handsome men before? Why is she...?]
[Perhaps they wanted to take a gamble, after all, Director Liu looks like he'll live a long life.]
[The previous statement: Having hair as thick as an old man's does not necessarily mean you will live a long life.]
[Grab the bamboo shoots!]
[Don't look at the negative comments @Liu I guide your life]
By the way, does anyone know how old Director Liu is?
Judging by appearance, he's at least in his 40s.
[I seem to remember Director Liu saying on a TV show that he was born in the 1980s.]
"Impossible, look at his hair volume, people born in the 70s are even making themselves look younger."
[Director Liu: Is this polite to you?]
Director Liu knew netizens were being sarcastic, but he really didn't expect them to be so sarcastic. He didn't bother to clarify the relationship and quickly logged onto his main account to post his first Weibo of the day.
@LiuYouGuideMyLife: My name is Liu Junyan, born in 1987 [attached ID card]
@Qiqi's Mom Loves You: 87?! It's 1887, right?
@I'm Wielding a Big Knife for Sister Qian: The previous comments went too far. At most, it was 1968. People didn't have ID cards in 1887.
@FiveSecondKneelingExpert: Am I the only one who noticed that Director Liu's name is actually Liu Junyan?
@SisterMengfaceMe: Hahaha, only the name sounds like someone born in '87!
@Yingxu's Rumored Girlfriend: Be polite, Director Liu just looks a lot older than he is, okay!
Ying Xu, Han Mengyao, and Xu Qi spent the entire time using Ying Xu's spare phone to gossip online.
When Ying Xu was a trainee, his company didn't allow him to bring cell phones, so he habitually carried two or three with him. This time, when the production team collected cell phones, Ying Xu only handed in one.
"Holy crap! Director Liu was born in '87?!"
Xu Qi couldn't help but shout it out, and Han Mengyao quickly slapped him. Ying Xu took the opportunity to stuff his phone back into his inner pocket.
It took Ji Qian a while to snap out of her reverie. She glanced at Wang Dahai, whose face was beaming with excitement at the mention of Chunhua, and tapped the back of her knife to remind him:
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Fearing Wang Dahai might not understand, Ji Qian added a further explanation: "What I mean is, is there anything you need me to convey to your family?"
Wang Dahai looked up at Ji Qian, seemingly puzzled as to why this woman had suddenly become so amiable, but still obediently replied:
"No need. Although I left early, I had a good boss who bought me a very expensive accident insurance policy. It is said that it can pay out more than 1.5 million yuan!"
With this money, my dad, mom, and brother should be able to live quite comfortably. My brother won't have to work away from home anymore because he can't afford to get married; he might even be able to start a small business.
As Wang Dahai spoke, a look of longing for the future appeared on his face. Ji Qian rarely saw this expression on ghosts, after all, ghosts... actually have no future.
After finishing her conversation with Wang Dahai, Ji Qian turned her attention to Chunhua.
Ji Qian was unaware that a message from Wang Dahai's younger brother was currently scrolling across the screen:
Brother, the compensation wasn't 1.5 million at all; President Jiang only gave our family 100,000.
