Chapter 62
Shortly after the charity auction ended, #He Tong spends 10 million on costumes# and #Ye Yuze donates 10 million# both trended on the search results. Numerous people rushed in to eat the melons, and soon, He Tong and Ye Yuze had countless "children."
[Dad He, Dad Ye, are you still missing kids at home? They're the type who only spend a few thousand on clothes, not tens of thousands. [heart]] [Don't look at Dad He spending millions and carrying a simple bag. I have the same one, it's not expensive, just over two hundred. [Erha]] [Even though Ye Yuze said he's not short of money, are they really that rich? Throwing 20 million in cash around? They don't seem to have acted in many movies, and they don't take commercials. Shocked.jpg] [After all, he's the nephew of Chairman Qiming's wife.]
[He's not his son. Didn't I see that little Prince Qiming was there? If he had donated, it wouldn't be so surprising.] [Their haters always say they have a lot of resources, so they probably invest in film and television as well.] [What? Doesn't "resourceful" mean the investment from the company behind them?] [I searched for investment information on the TV series and movies they've released, and only "Tian Yao" was listed as having Xingchen Entertainment. "The Painter" and "The Bladeless Blade" both have Ye He Studio listed behind Xingchen, and "The Painter" also has He Tong's private investment.] [Investing in and acting in a film to make money for yourself is fine [thumbs-up]. I remember that "The Painter" didn't cost much, so it should have made a lot of money.] [Comparing people makes you sick, and comparing things makes you throw them away. We might as well just call him dad.] [Am I the only one curious about who's bidding against He Tong? It can't be a shill.] [Curiosity +1]
[There's no point in being curious. Gossip from that kind of situation will only circulate within the circle and won't be spread outside.] At this time, Fang Chen, who had gotten into the car, was also talking about this with Ye He and the others.
"I asked around among the guests, and it turns out the person bidding against you is Weng Zhichao, the dandy prince of Weng Paper. It seems he's been courting a girl lately, a fan of Yuze, and he wanted to take a picture to please her. He was so eager to win the bid that if his assistant hadn't snatched the bidding device, he might have stopped bidding."
"Weng's Paper?" Ye Yuze pondered. "Didn't their stock price fluctuate wildly last year?"
Fang Chen searched on his tablet and said, "It's this company. Their boss was hospitalized several times last year. Gossip says that the kid is an illegitimate child, and was brought back two years ago to be trained as a successor. Hey, that's it. I think within a few years after he took over, Weng's company will go bankrupt."
He Tong touched his chin and said, "I remember that the original wife of Mr. Weng gave birth to a daughter, who was quite capable."
Fang Chen looked at him strangely: "You still care about business women?"
He Tong grinned: "She and my eldest brother had a blind date. I heard it from my aunt, although it didn't work out. You didn't know?"
Fang Chen's mouth immediately opened wide enough to fit an egg.
He Tong gossiped, "I always feel that there's some kind of bloody secret behind this. It's a pity we can't see it."
◆◇◆
On the other side, Weng Zhichao, who left early in anger, was scolding his assistant.
"You actually stopped me from bidding. Do you know how much loss this has caused to our Weng family?!"
The assistant thought, "The only shame is that you're not from the Weng family," but remained calm and said, "You just bought the latest limited edition sports car last month. The balance in your account is less than eight million, so you can't continue bidding."
Weng Zhichao roared angrily, "Then sell the car! I was outdone by a little celebrity. How can I ever say I'm the crown prince of the Weng family again?"
The assistant continued in a professional manner, "What if he adds more money? Will you still sell the house?"
"He's just holding on! I don't believe he can add any more!"
"Mr. Ye later donated 10 million, which means they can raise at least another 10 million if they continue the auction."
Weng Zhichao was stunned.
The assistant continued to explain patiently, "Besides, auctions never accept mortgages or credit. Cash payment is required after the auction. We can't wait for you to sell your car or house. What will you do then? Ask the chairman for money?"
Weng Zhichao also knew that if he really asked his father for the money for spending more than 10 million yuan on a pair of tattered clothes, he would only be scolded by his father.
But he still paced around the hall angrily.
"No, I can't let this go! They're just two little celebrities, and they're so arrogant! I have to find someone to deal with them..."
Just then, the door suddenly opened and Weng Xuanmao walked in with several bodyguards.
Weng Zhichao stopped and asked in surprise, "Dad? Why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, I'm afraid you would have dragged the Weng family into the fire pit!" Weng Xuanmao didn't even sit down. Instead, he stood and began to interrogate his son, "Who did you say you were going to deal with?"
"Just two little stars..."
"What little star!" Weng Xuanmao interrupted his son and scolded, "Don't you know that Qiming is backing them?"
Weng Zhichao snorted, "So what if it's Qiming? Should we, the Weng family, be afraid of them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Weng Xuanmao slapped him in the face.
Weng Zhichao was stunned by the beating. He covered his face and looked at his father in disbelief: "Dad, you hit me..."
"Do you know that anyone who has provoked them before has had their company bankrupt and their entire family imprisoned? Do you think our Weng Group can withstand an investigation? Even if no major problems are uncovered, won't this round of trouble cause serious damage? Last year, my hospitalizations caused the stock price to fluctuate, and people were already uneasy. Now you're trying to stir up trouble just to provoke a fight. Do you even think seriously about the Weng Group?"
Weng Zhichao was scolded and couldn't find any words to refute for a while.
But this is not the end.
Weng Xuanmao looked at him with disappointment, sighed, and said, "I misunderstood. Rather than letting the Weng Group fail in your hands, it's better to let your sister run it. At least she can support the company. You should go back to Country A with your mother."
Weng Zhichao was shocked and shouted "I won't go back" while trying to go forward to catch Weng Xuanmao, but was stopped by Weng Xuanmao's bodyguards.
Weng Xuanmao just said coldly, "Just wait here for a few days. I'll have my special assistant take you away as soon as possible. Keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything wrong."
The last sentence was said to the bodyguard, and then he turned and walked out, no longer listening to his son's shouting.
Inside the house, an enraged Weng Zhichao was cursing and throwing things to vent his anger. His assistant hid in the kitchen, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"...Mr. Weng, it's me... Yes, the chairman just came over. He has decided to send Mr. Weng and his mother back to Country A..."
◇◆◇
The news that the dandy prince of the Weng family was sent away did not cause much stir in the circle. At most, his friends would sigh that one less victim was taken advantage of.
On the way to the crew, He Tong and his group flew over to the set, Fang Chen shared the news with them.
"The son of the Weng family has been raised in Country A. Old Man Weng's health hasn't been good in recent years, so he brought him back, hoping his son would slowly take over. Unexpectedly, his mother raised him to be this awful person. The eldest daughter of the Weng family is indeed a formidable person. She's a top student herself, and she's had a good reputation within the Weng Corporation in recent years. Many other shareholders support her. I think she might have been behind this. Now that the boy has been given up by Old Man Weng and sent away, the Weng Corporation can only be left to her."
Fang Chen shook his head and sighed as he spoke: "It's not easy for her to have such a confused father. She has to make plans for herself."
He Tong played with Ye Yuze's fingers while gossiping, "This ignorant dandy is so easy to deal with. Find someone to instigate him to do something big. It's guaranteed to scare the old man."
"That's right." Fang Chen nodded. "Miss Weng called me personally to apologize for her brother raising your price. She heard that you had previously wanted to buy the film and television rights to this book but failed, and she said she could help to connect you, as she is quite familiar with the author."
"Sure." He Tong said indifferently, "Anyway, we don't have any other work after finishing this web series, so if we can make a deal, we can get the crew together first."
Ye Yuze, who was reading a book, suddenly asked, "What did Director Ou say?"
Fang Chen flipped through his notebook: "It's still early for him. It's estimated that filming will start in October or November next year. Now the show is expected to be completed in early December, so there will be a year's break in between."
Ye Yuze nodded without saying anything more. Fang Chen returned to his seat and went back to work.
He Tong leaned close to Ye Yuze's ear and whispered teasingly, "Want to act in a romance movie?"
Ye Yuze also chuckled: "I haven't acted in a love scene yet, so I'm quite interested."
He Tong took his brother Ye's earlobe in his mouth and nibbled it: "If you want to act, you can only act with me!"
Then he reached out and took Ye Yuze's book away, pressed the person onto his shoulder, and pulled the blanket up to cover him.
"Let's sleep together. We were busy so late last night, and you're still reading now. Aren't you afraid of a headache?"
Two hours later, the group got off the plane and went to the VIP lounge to wait for their luggage.
After a while, an airport staff member came over to apologize. "There are quite a few fans waiting to meet us outside, and they've gathered in the VIP parking lot. Could you please wait a little longer to leave? Or, could you please tell the cars outside to drive to parking lot 8? I'll take you through that passage."
He Tong frowned: "Let's go to the eighth parking lot."
"Okay, I'll show you the way after the luggage is delivered. I'll be right outside the door, so feel free to call me if you need anything."
After the staff left, Fang Chen asked curiously, "Whose fans did we run into at the airport? They can't be your fans, can they?"
Lingling, who was checking the news, said, "It can't be a Tongze fan. The studio has always strictly prohibited fans from picking us up at the airport or following our schedules, and our schedules are kept very secret... Found it, Zhou Siqi?"
He Tong raised his eyebrows: "Who is this?"
Fang Chen was also checking: "He's a fresh-faced young man who's become popular in the past two years, he started out as a model. It's okay as long as he has nothing to do with us. Fans picking him up at the airport is a big hassle, if something goes wrong it'll attract a lot of negative attention."
No one paid attention to this little incident. After their luggage was delivered, they followed the staff and left.
Unexpectedly, the two of them became a hot topic again that night.
@Tracking Team Agent No. 1 V: #Zhou Siqi's fans met him at the airport, while Ye Yuze and He Tong kept a low profile# Today, three young celebrities, Zhou Siqi, Ye Yuze, and He Tong, arrived in E City on the same flight. Zhou Siqi's fans in E City organized a warm welcome for their idol. Meanwhile, Ye Yuze and He Tong kept a low profile, getting into their car in a remote parking lot. Both stars have suddenly become incredibly popular in the past two years, but their styles differ significantly. What are your thoughts on this? Which do you prefer? The first six images in the nine-square grid show Zhou Siqi exiting the parking lot and getting into his car, escorted by airport security. The last three images show Ye and He getting into their car in another, more deserted parking lot.
Tongze fans who heard the news were like: ??? Is this a provocation? No appointment!
