Chapter 138 Injury
Jiang Wufa's Xiuyu button successfully won the favor of many people in the crew. Even Bai Yuan took the initiative to talk to Jiang Wu during lunch. This made Qi Hang even more unhappy with Jiang Wu. He originally thought that Jiang Wu was playing tricks and he even had the nerve to use cheap Xiuyu to please the director.
It would be fine if other people were not worldly-wise, but even Bai Yuan fell for it. He even asked his assistant to order food from a five-star restaurant, but this woman didn't even look at him and went to eat at Jiang Wu's table.
The assistant looked at the table of Western takeout that was delivered by a special car behind him and asked him what to do. Qi Hang told him with a cold face to distribute the food to the crew members.
I have to say that the takeaway from a five-star restaurant is very high-end. Even the plates delivered are in sets, the knives and forks are silver, the plating is very delicate, and even the food is still warm. The cherry sauce on the foie gras is poured on the spot by the chef. The entire crew was stunned.
Qi Hang was very satisfied with the surprise and sighs on their faces, and said calmly, "I accidentally ordered too much. If you don't mind, you can eat together."
Everyone quickly said, "Don't mind, don't mind!"
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the long table filled with exquisite high-end Western food and said subconsciously, "Oh my God, how much does this table cost?"
Qi Hang happened to hear what he said and replied lightly, "Not bad, I'm a black card member of Samuel Hotel, and this table is less than 100,000 after the discount."
There was a sound of people sucking in air all around. After the discount, it still cost 100,000. Is this what a rich person does? !
Qi Hang raised the corner of his mouth. Although he had a lot of pocket money, spending more than 100,000 on a meal was not a small amount. But of course he couldn't show it in front of this group of people.
Zhang Xiaoyu opened his mouth but could not utter a word. He just felt that he did not understand the world of rich people.
Everyone picked up their lunch boxes and started to share the meal, except Jiang Wu and Zhang Xiaoyu who were in the corner.
Qi Hang also saw it, and naturally thought that Jiang Wu felt inferior, so he didn't eat his food, so he specially brought a portion of foie gras to them and said meaningfully, "This foie gras is not bad, you can try it."
Zhang Xiaoyu knew that this young master didn't like his brother Jiang, so he was about to refuse. But Jiang Wu, who was absent-minded, suddenly said, "Thank you, just put it on the table."
Qi Hang's face suddenly darkened, "...Do you fucking think I'm serving you food?!"
"Puchi!" Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhang Xiaoyu pursed his lips and lowered his head quickly, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK.
Several actors at the same table were trying hard to hold back their laughter, thinking that Master Qi was in trouble for meeting a tough guy like Jiang Wu. He even spent money to show off in front of the goddess but got slapped in the face. It was really embarrassing.
Jiang Wu looked up at him in confusion, as if he didn't quite understand why he was angry. After thinking for a while, he pushed the plate of foie liver back and said hesitantly, "Then I'll give it back to you?"
Qi Hang's face became even uglier. Just as he was about to get angry, his assistant suddenly rushed over and whispered something in his ear. Qi Hang's face instantly relaxed and he immediately asked, "Really?"
The assistant said in a serious tone, "Really? Madam wants you to go back now."
Qi Hang glanced at Bai Yuan, hesitated for a moment, but finally turned around and followed the assistant to the director.
Fu Ziqing turned his head and looked at the two men's backs, wondering, "Could it be that the family forbade the young master to come to film and ordered him to be arrested and sent home? Would they suddenly withdraw their investment?"
"No." Jiang Wu said calmly, "His family doesn't care about this."
As soon as he said this, several eyes on the table instantly turned to him. Fu Ziqing asked hesitantly, "How do you know that his family doesn't care about this?"
Jiang Wuyi was stunned, of course, because Zhou Yannan told him about his cousin Sun's joining the group when he mentioned it on the phone, but it would take a lot of explanation to bring this matter out.
So he said casually, "I guessed."
They never thought about how Jiang Wu, an ordinary third-tier actor, could be related to the Qi family. They turned their eyes away with boredom and went to eat and play with their phones.
Only He Yunxing looked at him for a second. He felt that Jiang Wu was not the kind of person who spoke nonsense. However, he did not ask any more questions. He just reminded him, "There is no need to conflict with him. The Zhou family behind him is not easy to mess with."
Jiang Wu knew that he meant well and responded casually. He Yunxing looked at him with his eyes lowered and a smile appeared in his eyes.
This smile happened to be caught by Bai Yuan, and she immediately had a guess in her mind. For a moment, she didn't know whether to admire the charm of Jiang Wu, this little goblin, or these men were too superficial.
No one saw Qi Hang during the afternoon filming. After asking the director, we learned that Qi Hang had taken leave for family matters and his return date was uncertain. All scenes related to him had to be postponed.
Director He's expression was not very good, but he was not too angry either. Everyone guessed that Qi Hang probably had something urgent to do this time.
After all, they are a wealthy family in Linhai, and they are backed by the Zhou family. Everyone couldn't help but gossip and started to check Weibo to see if there was any news.
Jiang Wu's expression turned serious, because Zhou Changming's departure gave Qi Hang, a branch of the Zhou family, hope to inherit the Zhou family. Qi Hang left in such a hurry that it was probably because Zhou Gaozhen's illness worsened.
Of course, he was not worried about Zhou Gaozhen or the infighting within the Zhou family, but he was worried about Han Zhong.
It is the most difficult for people in the secular world to sever family ties. Zhou Yannan also cannot let go of his brother's only child. However, if he continues to delay, he does not know how long it will take him to develop a magical instrument to calm the soul, and Han Zhong's body cannot wait too long.
In fact, there is another way. As long as he extends Zhou Gaozhen's life, Zhou Yannan can continue to study the soul-calming magic weapon, but he will have to face the consequences of heaven's punishment again. If it was a single strike in the past, it would be fine, but his current soul cannot withstand a bolt of thunder.
He frowned and thought, and suddenly heard Fu Ziqing beside him exclaiming into his phone, "The top three trending searches are actually the presidents of Huayue Group!"
Jiang Wu was startled and subconsciously turned her head to look over. She saw a TV station interview video playing on her mobile phone. The person on the video was Han Zhong, whom she hadn't seen for many days.
He was wearing a well-tailored solid black suit, with his right hand resting naturally on the armrest, revealing a sapphire cufflink. He was sitting leisurely on a single sofa, with a familiar calmness and confidence on his handsome and sharp face, and he was saying something in a deep voice.
"Is this the president of Huayue? So handsome?"
"That's not right. Shouldn't the president be a greasy, Mediterranean-looking man in his fifties?"
"He is a hereditary successor, so of course he is young, becoming a president in his twenties... But this rich man has good genes, so handsome."
"The aura is so strong that I can't understand what he's saying at all."
"They are talking about Huayue's recently launched AI system, called Wantu, which is said to be a system that is truly useful to society, rather than something that is used to squeeze the living space of the lower-class manual laborers."
"He looks like he understands."
"I studied this major and participated in research and development, so of course I understand."
“…”
Many people around were discussing Han Zhong's appearance and Wantu System. Only He Yunxing noticed that Jiang Wu didn't say a word and looked a little unhappy.
"What's wrong with you?"
"……It's OK."
Jiang Wu moved his lips, then turned and walked outside to the corridor to call Rong Anzhou.
The phone rang for a long time before Rong Anzhou said a nonchalant "Hello". But before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Wu interrupted him and asked, "What's wrong with Han Zhong's hand?"
"What's going on?"
"There is gauze wrapped around his left index finger, middle finger, and the back of his hand. What's going on?"
He was confused for a moment before he remembered and said casually, "Oh, that, it was a burn. It happened a long time ago... No, not long ago, on the morning of the 18th of last month, when I met him in the hospital, I saw that his hand was injured. He said he accidentally burned it when pouring coffee."
The 18th of last month was the day he left.
Jiang Wuxin didn't know what to feel. He felt achy and a little breathless, as if something was stuck in his heart and couldn't get out. He felt angry, but he couldn't feel angry. He didn't know where this anger came from or where it went, which made him feel uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath through his nose and exhaled, then asked in a low voice, "Where is he now?"
"The company. He's a workaholic. You know what I mean. He became even crazier after you moved out."
“…”
After Jiang Wu hung up the phone, he stood there for a while, then turned around and went to Director He's lounge.
