Chapter 171 There is a problem with understanding
The Red Dragon King's face froze. Although the wooden floor had been laid back and even re-waxed by careful renovation workers, traces of renovation could still be seen on it.
“Could it be…” The Red Dragon King’s heart sank.
He glanced at the deputy beside him, and the deputy immediately called in a few young and strong men: "Lift up these floors."
After the wooden floor was lifted up, the freshly laid cement on the ground was exposed, with new and old traces intertwined on it. It was obvious that it was repaired not long ago.
"Smash it open! Use some force!" The Red Dragon King almost roared.
It was the first time that people around him saw him lose his composure like this. Even his deputy was frightened by him, wondering how the floor had irritated him.
The younger brother in charge of breaking the ground thought to himself that there was a foundation underground and there was nothing hidden there, so what was the point of breaking it up?
But he didn't expect that the hammer would directly smash a hole in it.
Under the Red Dragon King's scorching gaze, the younger brother hit the ground with a few hammers, and the secret room under the ground was completely revealed to everyone.
But now there are no boxes of gold left, only rotten wood and various construction waste.
"Jump down and take a look." The Red Dragon King casually pointed at one of his younger brothers and sent him down.
The younger brother looked through it carefully and shook his head helplessly: "Grandpa, there are no treasures underneath, only junk."
The Red Dragon King's face was as dark as dark clouds, and he almost gritted his teeth: "Xu, You, You!"
He walked out of the basement with a gloomy face. As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw a group of people surrounding him, waving IOUs.
"Pay back the money! It's only natural to pay back a debt..."
The bald man with a big gold chain had just shouted when he saw that the person who appeared was the thin and ugly-looking Red Dragon King. The curse he wanted to say was immediately stuck in his throat.
The Red Dragon King glanced over.
The bald man's momentum suddenly weakened by three points, and he shrank his neck and said, "Why are you here? I came to find Zhu Ailian. She bought this villa."
There are few people who live in this area who don’t know the Red Dragon King.
Although I haven't had much dealings with him, I know that this person has deep connections in the wealthy circle, is well connected in both the white and black worlds, and even has overseas businesses.
The last gangster who provoked the Red Dragon King was thrown abroad by the Red Dragon King before the official action could be taken, and there has been no news of him since then.
The Red Dragon King ignored the bald man without even looking at him and got into the car and left with a gloomy face.
Although the bald man was unhappy, he did not dare to show any disrespect. After the Red Dragon King left, he gathered other creditors and surrounded the Red Dragon King's deputy.
"Master Li, the debt follows the house. Even though the house has fallen into the hands of Lord Dragon, the debt has not been eliminated!"
Some people begged: "That's right, the Dragon King has a big family and great wealth, he will definitely not default on our small debt!"
There were also creditors who tried to threaten us: "If you don't give us the money today, we will surround this place and won't let you go out!"
The deputy of the Red Dragon King had always been very respectable over the years, but this was the first time he encountered such a difficult situation. Everyone pushed and shoved, and the crisp suit he was wearing became wrinkled. He could only say helplessly: "Stop for a moment, don't be anxious, let's talk slowly."
Xu Youyou doesn’t know whether Red Dragon King has paid back the money or not. After nearly a month of promotion, the offline live casting for her role in "Dream of Red Mansions" just started today.
The offline screening event was held in the event hall of a high-end hotel in Shanghai. Xu Youyou only rented it for five days because she planned to conduct the one-month offline auditions in batches in six major cities across the country with the judges. This would save the contestants from flying all over the country.
Although anyone can sign up for this audition, those who are able to obtain an audition pass and come offline have all gone through a preliminary screening. It can be said that nine out of ten people are screened out in the initial screening.
The first round of screening is to submit photos and register on a specially set up website. After the screening, the contestants can choose the time to go for offline review.
Today is the first day of offline screening. There are a total of six judges, including Xu Youyou, Professor Wu, Xie Ran, Ouyang Ouyang, the company's chief stylist Wang Anna, and another mobile judge, whoever is free in the company will come.
Today's mobile judge is Song Zhibai. As soon as he arrived on the scene, he immediately caused screams from the contestants present.
Song Zhibai has now become popular thanks to a drama and is the fastest rising top male god. The contestants who came today felt that even if they did not advance to the next round, they had already made a lot of money by being able to see the top star Song Zhibai with their own eyes.
"They like you so much, Xiao Song. You are really famous." Xu Youyou joked with a smile.
Song Zhibai raised his lips slightly and asked Xu Youyou seriously: "They like me, what about you, boss?"
Song Zhibai not only has extremely superior facial features, but also has a pair of extremely deep eyes. At this moment, Xu Youyou was being stared at by him so seriously and intently that she suddenly felt a little flustered.
Xu Youyou cursed Song Zhibai in her heart for breaking the rules, but she still forced herself to calm down and said, "Of course I like you too. You are my cash cow."
Song Zhibai's eyes darkened when he heard this. With such an answer, it was obvious that Xu Youyou still didn't really take him seriously.
The selection officially started, and the first female contestant who walked in caught everyone's attention with her appearance. Xu Youyou looked down at the information card she received and realized that this contestant wanted to compete for the role of Lin Daiyu.
"My name is Zheng Shuying. My parents have always said that I look like Lin Daiyu, who is weak and frail. Although I think Lin Daiyu is sarcastic and calculating, I still want to try this role..."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Professor Wu at the side said directly: "Lin Daiyu is not a sarcastic person."
Zheng Shuying was unhappy and said, "She made a scene just because of a palace flower. Doesn't she care about things?"
Xu Youyou had no way to deal with this person, so she turned around and said, "Tell me what you think of the character of Xia Jingui."
Zheng Shuying asked, "Who is Xia Jingui?"
Xu Youyou was stunned. She thought Zheng Shuying was pretty. Even if she couldn't play Daiyu, she could try other equally pretty roles. But she was suddenly confused by her question and couldn't help asking, "How much of Dream of the Red Chamber have you read?"
Zheng Shuying said: "After seeing the selection of palace flowers, I felt that Lin Daiyu was too stingy and unlikable, so I continued watching."
Xu Youyou: ...
Xu Youyou felt that she didn't need to activate the role suitability comparison card, and said: "Your understanding of the role is problematic, and you are not suitable for this role. Please let the next person come in."
Zheng Shuying actually has excellent appearance conditions. Although she is wearing makeup now, Wang Anna beside her can see that she has a very good foundation. At this time, she couldn't help but say: "Boss, she doesn't seem to have had plastic surgery. It's a pity to eliminate her like this."
