Chapter 589 His identity was exposed at the slightest disagreement, and he was filled with regret [1st update]
David initially thought that the Laurent family had sent someone to release him.
His appointment as the chief judge of the IFF Awards at least gave him access to members of the Laurent family.
They are certainly more familiar with him than Ying Zijin and her group of Chinese.
The Laurent family would not make things difficult for their own people for the sake of a group of Chinese.
He had previously managed to hire a team of mercenaries thanks to his connections with the Laurent family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to enter the underworld.
Upon hearing this, David froze: "S-Sir?"
What's the meaning?
“Ms. Ying of Chuguang Media, even if she is the master, she should be respected and revered.” Job laughed again, his eyes filled with mockery and sarcasm. “Tell me, what are you?”
David could hardly believe his ears.
It felt like countless bees were buzzing in his ears, and his brain was throbbing with blood.
In an instant, it felt as if all my strength had been drained away.
David slumped in his chair, completely stunned.
Owner!
David wasn't a member of the Laurent family, but after getting to know them, he learned some things.
In the Laurent family, the only one who can be called the master is that mysterious ruler.
Even the head of the family, even the most respected elders, must address him as "master."
Everyone in O continent knows that without this leader, the Laurent family wouldn't be where they are today.
He deserves the respect of the entire Laurent family.
What kind of person is someone whom even those in power must respect?
David's mind was a complete mess, a complete blank.
“Listen to this, you said you wanted to keep them here and not let them leave Florence, do you still dare to do that?” Job looked at him and said calmly, “Didn’t you want to leave? I can let you out now, go ahead.”
After saying that, he actually opened the door and made way for him.
But David dared not move at all.
His lips trembled, his face deathly pale: "She...she really..."
Who exactly is Ying Zijing?!
“David, if you had behaved yourself after being dismissed, apologized, and clearly recognized your mistakes, the Laurent family might not have refused to employ you again.” Job said coldly, “Unfortunately, you didn’t recognize the current situation.”
"Do you know who the master hates the most? The Patch family!"
David's eyes widened again.
“And you—” Job’s eyes showed even more pity, “In order not to offend the young lady of the Patch family, you turned around and bullied Miss Ying. Now tell me, what will the master do?”
David's mental state couldn't take it anymore, and he broke down completely.
He yelled, his face turning even paler.
“The master has ordered that you are never to set foot in Florence again.” Job summoned two guards who escorted the pale-faced David away.
David was restrained by two guards, and he couldn't even use his legs.
His body trembled violently, and he was covered in cold sweat.
This time, he really ran into a brick wall.
If he had known beforehand that Ying Zijin had such a deep relationship with the head of the Laurent family, how could he have dared to do this?
David was filled with regret.
But there's no going back in this world.
**
After resolving this matter, Job prepared to return to the heart of the castle to report to Caesar.
When I came out, I ran into a woman wearing a dark purple British-style long dress.
Job nodded slightly and simply greeted her, "Miss Elizabeth."
The woman turned around, took off her hat, and said politely, "Butler Job, how is the master?"
“Master is very kind.” Job did not hide anything from the core members of the Laurent family this generation. “Master should officially meet everyone in a while.”
Because last time, Xize asked him to specifically find the family members who studied physics and call up their names.
Elizabeth was on that list.
So Job asked another question: "How is Miss Elizabeth's experiment going?"
Elizabeth was somewhat flattered: "It went quite smoothly. I appreciate your concern, Butler Lau."
"Then congratulations in advance, Miss Elizabeth." Job nodded, asked no further questions, and went inside.
However, Xize wasn't there; he had sneaked out two hours earlier.
He boarded the intercity train with fake identity information to find Ying Zijing, and by then he had already arrived at the hotel.
The female secretary saw a tall figure deliberately bending down and sneaking towards them.
She immediately became alert: "Boss, someone wants to assassinate you."
Ying Zijin: "?"
She turned her head and saw the young man cautiously walking this way.
She glanced at his golden hair and paused for a moment before saying, "We're on the same side, don't worry."
The female secretary was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening and moved a chair to place next to the girl.
Shang Yaozhi and the others also looked over.
“Cecil Laurent.” The young man sat down, took off his mask, and greeted them lazily, “Everyone, let’s get to know each other.”
It was an extremely handsome face.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a high nose – the standard features of a Westerner.
The agent's professional instincts kicked in immediately, and he almost asked Xize if he wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
Fortunately, he managed to hold back in time.
Laurent!
This surname belongs to the emperor of O Continent.
If he dares to ask that question, he'll be gone in the next second.
It turns out their boss really does know people from the Laurent family!
The female secretary couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Caesar, what is your status in the Laurent family?"
“What is my status in the Laurent family?” Xize stroked his chin. “Well, not many people have seen me. I just came out here. My life is really tough.”
That's true.
But to others, it sounded like Caesar didn't have a high status in the Laurent family and couldn't get close to the core family members.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They were quite apprehensive sitting at the same table as members of the Laurent family.
Xize ordered a glass of red wine, took out a pure gold card, and lowered his voice: "Boss, this is a gold card from Laurent Bank. Besides me, only you have it. It's valid worldwide, you can withdraw money anytime, there's no limit."
Ying Zijing took it: "You really can change to a different color next time."
“No, gold is my bottom line.” Xize was firm. “Other colors are too ugly, I don’t like them.”
Ying Zijin pressed her head down.
"Boss, I'm leaving now." Xize bent down again. "Until I officially come out, let's keep making video calls. There are quite a few people watching me. I'm not as tough as that Norton guy. I need to train. I'm afraid I'll kick the bucket again."
Ying Zijin: "..."
She simply couldn't understand why Xize could speak such fluent Chinese.
They even use a lot of local terms.
Ying Zijing thought for a moment and then tossed him a sachet.
Xize took it, smelled it, and found it had no smell.
He asked curiously, "What is this?"
“Poison,” Ying Zijing said calmly. “It can kill ten of your elders.”
Xize paused for a moment: "Boss, you're such a fierce girl, aren't you?"
Ying Zijing saw through his thoughts and said expressionlessly, "You're hundreds of years old, don't even think about clinging to my coattails."
Nishizawa: "..."
He wasn't even a few hundred years old; during the two hundred years he slept in the ice coffin, all his physical abilities were frozen.
He doesn't admit it; he's only a little over a hundred years old, much younger than Norton the dog!
He will definitely find a girlfriend.
Xize said with some sadness, "Boss, why didn't you answer my calls last night? I wanted to ask you about the IFF."
"Watching TV with my boyfriend."
"..."
This time, Xize really turned and left.
He couldn't stand this double standard from his boss anymore.
Inside the private room, the agent, who was eating, suddenly turned pale with fright.
"Yaozhi! Do you remember that in the history of the Laurent family, there was also a patriarch named Xize?"
Shang Yaozhi thought for a moment: "Now that you mention it, it seems so."
Because it wasn't a field he was specifically looking for to study, he hadn't specifically researched this part of O-Asia's history.
The agent swallowed hard: "I don't know why, but I just feel like he's the same person as the historical Xize."
Shang Yaozhi was stunned: "What did you say?"
The agent took out his phone and searched for the names of the successive heads of the Laurent family.
Sure enough, in the 16th century there was a head of the family named Nishiza.
The agent then clicked on the accompanying portrait.
At that time, there were no cameras, only oil paintings.
The oil painting is obviously highly distorted.
Uneven eyes, wide chin, thick lips.
Looking at the strange and unrecognizable oil painting, the agent fell silent.
He simply couldn't connect the oil painting with the overly handsome blond young man from before.
Too.
He's truly obsessed.
How could anyone live that long?
It's all too common in O continent for descendants to share the same name as their ancestors.
Some people even specifically name their sons the same as themselves.
The agent also realized he was overthinking things, since his mental resilience had clearly improved in the past few days.
He turned off his phone, looked up, and said, "Yaozhi, let's go to the airport."
Although the trophy hasn't reached Shang Yaozhi's hands yet, it's really no longer important.
Just last night, film companies from various countries contacted Chuguang Media to purchase the broadcasting rights for "New Life".
The film "New Life" has not been officially released in China yet; there have only been a few preview screenings.
The film will be officially released at the end of March, simultaneously worldwide.
It is foreseeable that this will bring tremendous benefits to Shang Yaozhi, Chuguang Media, and Chinese cinema.

The Pazzi family.
The more Diana watched the news, the uglier her face became.
In truth, this incident didn't have a significant impact on her.
She wields absolute power and doesn't intend to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, yet she has truly lost all face.
We still can't get in touch with David.
Moreover, this caused further conflict with the Laurent family.
This is not what the Patch family wanted to see.
Even now, the Laurent family hasn't caused them any trouble.
Diana took a deep breath and asked the butler beside her, "What did Father say?"
"Your father has already sent someone to the airport to invite them to the family." The butler said respectfully, "Miss Diana, rest assured, the reason why the Laurent family is making such a fuss is because the IFF Golden Globe Awards are unfair."
“Even if it wasn’t Chuguang Media from China, but a small company from Q country, they would still do the same thing, and they wouldn’t care about what happens afterward.”
The Laurent family did this solely for the sake of their family's reputation, and it had nothing to do with who it was.
The Laurent family doesn't have that much time to meddle in other people's business.
Chuguang Media has also caused great damage to the reputation of the Patch family, especially CEO Ying.
We cannot let this go easily.
Diana suppressed her impatience and slowly exhaled, "Then I'll wait."
**
On the other side, at the airport.
The alarm went off suddenly.
Attention all passengers! Attention all passengers! We have received a temporary traffic control notice due to an emergency.
All flights are suspended. Passengers are asked to wait patiently. The airport will notify you as soon as possible to arrange for your flights to depart.
The city where the airport is located is near Florence and is part of the Pazzi family's territory.
With the Patch family controlling the airport, not a single plane, including private jets, could take off.
After all, even private jets need to use airport runways to depart from the airport.
For a moment, the entire airport was in chaos.
Although the airport here is not as large as Florence's, it is still an important transportation hub.
Passengers from all over the world were in a panic.
After all, there have been quite a few terrorist attacks in O continent.
In particular, the source of the last bombing in the university town has still not been found out.
A group of people broke into the private plane carrying the Chuguang Media team.
Luke was in the lead, followed by the Patsy family's guard.
The female secretary's expression hardened.
Luke glanced at them and scoffed, "You guys? Where's your boss? Did he abandon you and run away?"
"She's still at the hotel, right?" Luke looked down. "Come on, tell her to come over right now, otherwise you really can forget about leaving O Continent."
"Of course, the body can be transported back to your country for free, without any fees."
