Chapter 53: Date

The official Weibo account of "Asking about Life" soon became a scene of heated arguments, and many fans of Ke Xingyan also rushed to Jiang Wu's Weibo post to criticize him as a shameless person who was trying to ride on Jiang Wu's popularity. Jiang Wu did not have many fans, but there were quite a few tough passers-by who cursed at Ke's fans, and it was very lively.

Compared to Jiang Wu's mere 400,000 fans, Ke Xingyan's fans not only outnumber him in number, but are also very powerful. Not only did they flood Jiang Wu's comment section, they also called on the official Weibo of "Asking Life" to come out and clarify for their leading actor Ke Xingyan, otherwise they were deliberately shielding Jiang Wu and deliberately inciting cyber violence against Ke Xingyan.

In "Asking about Life", of course one cannot tell the truth, nor can one lie, one can only pretend to be dead.

Ke Xingyan was furious and directly called the person in charge of the crew, threatening that he would quit the crew if the crew didn't replace Jiang Wu.

He Wenhua was so angry that his head hurt. He thought Ke Xingyan would act like a big shot, but he didn't expect Jiang Wu to be so direct. Even his personal phone call to mediate didn't work. Ke Xingyan was still making a fuss, so he had no choice but to call Fang Zhiyi, the investor.

Fang Zhiyi had anticipated that there would be a conflict between the two when he knew that the male lead was Ke Xingyan, but he did not expect that the conflict would break out before the filming even started. However, he was not as surprised as He Wenhua about Jiang Wu's toughness. After all, when they met for the first time, Jiang Wu dared to turn his face away and threatened him with a knife, as if he would not hang out in the entertainment industry tomorrow.

Naturally, he didn't ask He Wenhua to kick the person out, but he didn't say it explicitly either. Instead, he asked him to inform Jiang Wu about the crew replacement first, and then hinted that Jiang Wu could ask him for help.

He Wenhua was also a shrewd person who had been in the entertainment industry for many years. He could tell at a glance that this Mr. Fang was most likely interested in Jiang Wu and just took this opportunity to deliberately hook him up. He felt very sorry in his heart. He still admired Jiang Wu very much, but who made him have no background?

In the entertainment industry, you either need a good background or the ability to endure hardship. If you don’t have either, then you have no chance of success.

Although he was reluctant, He Wenhua still conveyed Fang Zhiyi's message, saying that he could not keep Jiang Wu because of Ke Xingyan's matter, but if the investors could support him, there would be room for maneuver.

After he finished speaking, he waited for Jiang Wu to ask who the investor was, but Jiang Wu replied: Oh.

Oh? He Wenhua was confused. What does "oh" mean? Did he just give up and leave it alone?

However, since Jiang Wu had responded in this way, he couldn't bring himself to mention that the investor was Fang Zhiyi, as it would seem too deliberate, and he didn't really want to make this happen, so he told Fang Zhiyi about it.

When Fang Zhiyi received this news, he was attending the welcome ceremony for the new president of Linhai at the Qin family's villa. Half of the most influential people in Linhai gathered here to congratulate Qin Yuyan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, on being elected president of the Linhai Chamber of Commerce and successfully taking over the government bidding project in cooperation with the Han family.

Even if Han Zhong doesn't want to, such an occasion will have to happen.

Fang Zhiyi looked up at the terrace. Han Zhong was standing there alone, and the assistant named Yao had disappeared.

He lowered his head and sent a message to Jiang Wu, then walked towards the terrace.

"When a new official takes office, he has three things to do. Chairman Qin is speaking at the top, but President Han is hiding here. Isn't this too disrespectful to Chairman Qin?"

“…”

Han Zhong was standing there looking at the night sky above him. Hearing this familiar voice, he said without turning his head, "Maybe I just don't want to see your face."

"What's wrong with my face? I was once a national idol after all. President Han's standards are too high."

Fang Zhiyi walked up to him and looked up at the night sky together. "But it's true. President Han has that beautiful lover by his side. No wonder he has such high standards."

"Let me think about it. His name is Jiang Wu, right? He's also an artist of our Stars. He's really good-looking, but his luck is a little bad. He doesn't have a good taste. He embraced a wealthy sponsor like you, but watched him being blackmailed by the entire Internet, and didn't even offer to help him. No wonder he came to me as soon as I extended my hand."

Han Zhong looked at the night with a slightly cold look in his eyes. "Fang Zhiyuan fell ill, and the position of Heguang's president fell into your hands. I thought you would cherish this opportunity and stay calm for a while, but I didn't expect that you would be restless so soon."

"She's just a little star. She won't take up much of my time."

"You also said that he is just a little star. Even if you trick him into your hand, what will happen? Do you expect me to cry because of him?"

Fang Zhiyi smiled.

Han Zhong turned around and walked back, "Be more mature, Fang Zhiyi, otherwise I really doubt whether the Fang family will go bankrupt in your generation."

Fang Zhiyi's smile faded, and he said calmly, "I called Jiang Wu here."

Han Zhong's steps paused.

Fang Zhiyi noticed his movements and smiled slightly, "He's had a tough time recently. He's been bullied by his colleagues and scolded by his fans. He's obviously in the right, but because he doesn't have as many fans as his fans, the crew had to remove him from the role."

"It's so pitiful. I really couldn't bear it, so I said I could help him. But you know I just took over Heguang, I'm too busy, and I don't have much time, so I asked him to come here, but he hasn't come back yet."

Fang Zhiyi gently shook the champagne in his hand and said leisurely, "Why don't we make a bet on whether he will come?"

Han Zhong said calmly, "Boring."

“Ding Dong.”

A message alert sounded suddenly. Fang Zhiyi looked down at his phone, his smile widening. "Jiang Wu said he'll be here soon."

“…”

Han Zhong paused for a moment, then walked forward calmly. Yao Ping happened to come forward, and when he saw Fang Zhiyi behind him, he asked worriedly, "Is that Fang Zhiyi?"

Han Zhong said in a deep voice: "Call Jiang Wu immediately."

Although Yao Ping didn't understand, he quickly took out his cell phone and called Jiang Wu. However, the phone rang for a long time but no one answered. He called again, but still no one answered.

"No one answered the call. It must have been muted," Yao Ping said.

Han Zhong's face was solemn, he turned around and walked out.

"President Han."

Qin Yuyan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, had a handsome and bright face, short hair, and was wearing a pure white women's suit. She walked towards him with a smile, "President Han never likes to show up. I am really flattered that he can attend this time."

Han Zhong nodded slightly, "How can I refuse Mr. Qin's invitation?"

Qin Yuyan showed a joking expression, "Really? Isn't it because the two companies have a cooperative project?"

Han Zhong pursed his lips and did not refute.

"Isn't silence another form of honesty? President Han really doesn't look like a businessman."

“…”

Han Zhong glanced at the stage and found that Fang Zhiyi was no longer there. He frowned and immediately looked around the place, but saw no one.

Qin Yuyan paused and asked, "Is Mr. Han in a hurry?"

"Yeah." Han Zhong didn't hesitate and just said, "I'll talk to Mr. Qin later" and hurried out the door.

Qin Yuyan didn't expect that he would just leave and was stunned.
