Yan Qing learned that Gu Mingche was shamelessly using the marriage contract between the two families to threaten Yan's father. Although it would not cause any major trouble to the company, she still did not want to make her old father angry because of her. After a long time, she decided to play it off with Gu Mingche first to ease the relationship between the two and give him an illusion.
So for several days in a row, Yan Qing called Gu Mingche from time to time. Although her tone was rather cold, Huo Beiting still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it.
In the evening, Yan Qing was having dinner with Huo Beiting when Gu Mingche called one after another, which was very annoying.
"Who's calling? Why don't you just answer the phone? It's not a good idea to make trouble like this."
Huo Beiting frowned and put down his chopsticks. Just as he was about to pick up Yan Qing's phone, she snatched it away.
"No one, just some irrelevant people, let's continue eating."
Yan Qing felt guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye. She lowered her head and tried to make the gesture of eating.
Huo Beiting's eyes dimmed slightly, and after a little thought he knew what was going on.
"It's okay, I don't mind if you answer it."
Huo Beiting laughed generously, but he didn't know how bitter and awkward his smile was.
Yan Qing sighed silently and picked up the phone. Before she could say anything, Gu Mingche's voice came over.
"...Qingqing, what have you been busy with lately? I sent you so many WeChat messages yesterday, and I called you several times, so why didn't you reply?"
Yan Qing couldn't help but hiss. It was really disgusting that such a grown man actually imitated a woman's coquettish tone.
"I'm busy at the company. Why are you calling? I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
Yan Qing glanced at Huo Beiting and felt a little relieved when she saw that he was in a normal mood.
"It's nothing, I just miss you a little. When you have time, let's go out for dinner together! I remember you especially like Cantonese food. There's a new Cantonese restaurant opened near my company recently. I tried it once and it was pretty good."
Yan Qing couldn't help but bite her lower lip. It was the Yan Qing in the past who liked Cantonese food, but now she prefers to eat things with heavier flavors.
"I'm quite busy these days, let's talk about it in a few days!"
"So when are you free?"
Gu Mingche asked immediately.
Most people knew that Yan Qing was just being perfunctory, but no one expected that the real person would be so shameless as to ask.
Yan Qing rolled his eyes, casually reported a time, then made an excuse and hung up the phone.
"This guy is so annoying. If it weren't for my dad's company, I wouldn't want to deal with him."
Yan Qing muttered something softly and continued to eat, not noticing the blue veins popping up on the back of Huo Beiting's hand.
Huo Beiting hated Gu Mingche even more than Yan Qing did. If it weren't for some reason that this person couldn't be touched now, he would have to drive this person out of the country and make him never appear in front of Qingqing again.
Yan Qing has indeed been very busy recently, because she had just invested in a movie some time ago. When she read the introduction of a character in the movie, she thought of Liu Xiaoyun. Apart from him, no one else could play this role.
So the next day Yan Qing found Liu Xiaoyun and talked to him about the new movie, hoping that he could play a cameo role, and the issue of remuneration would be arranged according to the remuneration of the male and female protagonists.
After reading the script, Liu Xiaoyun fell in love with the role at first sight, but because the shooting time conflicted with his recent schedule, he did not agree to it immediately.
Yan Qing was not particularly anxious, after all, the filming had not started yet, but she was determined to get Liu Xiaoyun. With his participation, although he was just a passing scene, the level of the movie would definitely be raised to a higher level.
Ruan Mowei got the news from somewhere that Liu Xiaoyun might make a cameo appearance in the movie, and her mind immediately started to work again.
Because she had thrown mud at Yan Qing online some time ago, Xie Liancheng now ignored her. Without Xie Liancheng, the company's resources were no longer as one-sided as before.
Ruan Mowei was anxious to get out of her current situation, so she frantically inquired about Liu Xiaoyun's news and was always ready to curry favor with him.
Finally, Ruan Mowei got an opportunity at a cocktail party. Although she successfully hooked up with Liu Xiaoyun, she also completely lost Liu Xiaoyun's favor for her.
"Teacher Liu, I really like the movies you've made. I heard you're planning to make a guest appearance in a movie soon, and I happen to be the leading actress in that movie. Please take good care of me in the future!"
Ruan Mowei stuck out her tongue as she spoke. Her face, stained red by the wine, and her playful movements made her look both pure and lustful, attracting the attention of most of the men present.
But the only exception was Liu Xiaoyun's. Liu Xiaoyun had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and what she hated most was this kind of pretentious woman. But because it was a public place, she had to accept the wine she handed over.
"Miss Ruan is quite intelligent. If you could focus more on studying your acting skills instead of taking some crooked paths, you might go further than you are now."
As someone who had experienced this, Liu Xiaoyun gave Ruan Mowei some advice, but to Ruan Mowei it sounded like a mockery of her.
Yes, she did some despicable things in order to climb up the ladder faster, but who is clean in the entertainment industry where all kinds of people mix? Even Liu Xiaoyun, who is known as the movie emperor, has an unknown side.
Ruan Mo's face turned cold, and she deliberately poured him a glass of wine and whispered something in his ear.
No one noticed Ruan Mowei's action, but Liu Xiaoyun's expression changed instantly.
Liu Xiaoyun looked at Ruan Mowei angrily, his fingers tightly gripping the wine glass. He took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Don't go too far!"
Liu Xiaoyun lowered his voice and stared at her intently.
Ruan Mo smiled coquettishly and deliberately touched his with her arm, pretending that they were very close.
"How did I go too far? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Truth will come to light sooner or later. Since you've done it, you should have considered the possibility of being discovered later!"
Ruan Mo chuckled twice, straightened up, called Teacher Liu sweetly, bowed respectfully, and left, then moved on to the next person.
After Ruan Mowei left, Liu Xiaoyun left not long after taking her things with her. Before leaving, she deliberately slammed the door loudly, leaving everyone present confused. Someone asked Ruan Mowei, but Ruan Mowei just shook her head to indicate that she didn't know either.
Not long after Liu Xiaoyun left, Ruan Mowei also left. In a good mood, she called Gu Mingche to say hello and successfully asked for 100,000 yuan.
