"Xu... Yan Ting?"
Li Zhao suddenly laughed out loud. He looked at the drunken rich second generation who couldn't even stand steadily. "It doesn't matter how long he protects me. At least he will protect me today."
The second generation of rich people sneered: "You are such a shameless person who relies on your looks to get ahead."
"You know I have someone to protect me, and you can't afford to offend this person, but you still say bad things in front of me?!" Li Zhao pushed away the rich second generation who tried to pull him forward, "Are you crazy?"
The little girl, who was originally scared, almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard Li Zhao's words. She looked a little funny, crying and laughing at the same time.
"How dare you, little bitch, laugh at me..." Alcohol makes a coward daring. When the rich second generation was sober, he didn't dare to provoke the people around Xu Yanting, but alcohol gave him infinite courage: "I gave you face, didn't I?"
Cursing under his breath, the rich second generation was furious and kicked Li Zhao who was standing in front of the girl.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Dake rushed over when he saw this, but Li Zhao was faster than him. He kicked the rich second generation in the stomach. The rich second generation rolled to the ground like a mountain rat that was filled with water.
"Ah." The rich second generation screamed.
Li Zhao did not stop. Instead, kicking him would be an offense, and beating him would also be an offense, so it would be better to just beat him first.
"A gentleman talks, not fights. I generally don't like to fight with others." Li Zhao pinned the rich second generation to the ground and beat him until he cried for his parents, "But I can't stand scumbags who tease girls!"
Before the elevator door opened, Yao Yuguang heard screams coming from outside. He frowned and thought, are those bad friends bullying me again?
Thinking of this, he felt a little bored and decided to just say hello to them and leave.
The elevator door slowly opened, and the first thing Yao Yuguang saw was Gou Sheng lying on the ground wailing. The man who was beating Gou Sheng on the ground had his back to him, so he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
But this scene coincided with a horrible memory in his heart.
If it was winter, Gou Sheng should have covered his head with a coat, so that the fight would have been easier.
“Brother Yao, Brother Yao!” Seeing Yao Yuguang, Gou Sheng, who was in so much pain that he shed tears, howled, “Come and help!”
The man who was beating Gou Sheng turned around and looked at Yao Yuguang who had just arrived.
Yao Yuguang's knees went weak and he turned around to press the elevator button.
He wants to leave here!
immediately!
immediately!
"Brother Yao!"
Don’t call me, I’m going to run for my life.
Yao Yuguang pressed the elevator button frantically, but the elevator never came up and he was almost in despair.
"Yao Yuguang?" Li Zhao's frustration was mostly gone, and he stood up and straightened his clothes. "Are you with him?"
"No, no, I was just passing by." Yao Yuguang shook his head quickly, "I really was just passing by."
Gou Sheng thought he was finally rescued: "???"
Even if we're just drinking buddies, there's no need to be so heartless, right?
However, at this moment, Yao Yuguang no longer cared about the thin friendship between him and Gou Sheng. He stood against the wall. The long-awaited elevator had arrived, but under Li Zhao's nose, he didn't even have the courage to get into the elevator.
"I remember that you were friends with him?" Li Zhao walked up to Yao Yuguang. Gou Sheng, who was crying after being beaten, wanted to sneak away but was stopped by Dake.
"Friend? What friend?" Yao Yuguang shook his head until his shadow was almost visible: "I only had a few meals with him and drank with him twice. How can we be called friends?"
"Yao Yuguang, do you have any guts? You're even afraid of a pretty boy?!" Gou Sheng was furious at Yao Yuguang's attitude.
Yao Yuguang said nothing.
The person who was in the same box with Gou Sheng noticed that Gou Sheng had not returned yet, so he opened the door and looked outside. He was immediately stunned by the situation in the corridor.
The eldest son of the Gou family, who had been showing off just now, was now bruised and battered. The popular artist of Strawberry Entertainment protected the girl that Gou had taken a fancy to behind him, and it was obvious that they had fallen out with Gou.
The wound on Gou Shao’s face...could it be that Li Zhao had caused it?
The man shrank his neck back, gently closed the door, and said to the others in the room: "Mr. Gou seems to have had a conflict with someone."
"The guests in this box today are only us and several main creators of the TV series Tian Ge. Who dares to mess with Young Master Gou?" A rich young man walked to the door in a nonchalant manner, opened the door and took a look. The smile on his face froze, and then he closed the door tightly.
"What's going on?" Seeing his reaction, others were a little curious.
"Yao Yuguang is outside too." The rich young master coughed dryly, "Gou Zi and Li Zhao seem to be having some fun."
But the unhappiness was a bit more obvious, as Gou Zi had a wound on his face.
When they heard the name "Li Zhao", everyone was silent for a moment, and no one said they wanted to go out and take a look.
"Well, Yu Guang is not outside. I'm sure everything will be fine with him around."
"Yes, Yu Guang is here too."
Only the agent who brought the girl here felt a little uneasy. Of course he knew that Gou Shao was interested in the girl, otherwise he would not have brought her here on purpose.
He wanted to go out and take a look, but no one else present wanted to go out, so he could only sit there quietly.
I hope nothing happens.
"Has the artist you brought worked with Li Zhao before?" the rich young master asked the agent.
The agent recalled carefully for a long time: "When Li Zhao was shooting the Cangshi watch, Jia Jia was a dancer in the advertisement."
Although when the advertisement was broadcast on TV, the shot of Jia Jia was cut to only half of her back.
Cangshi watch?
Everyone fell silent again. Isn’t that a product of Cang Huan?
They had just heard Yao Yuguang mention a few days ago that Li Zhao was Xu Yanting's man. Who would dare to provoke Xu Yanting?
They exchanged glances and decided not to go out and provoke Li Zhao.
Gou Sheng was beaten up because his bad friends didn't show up. Although his mind wasn't clear yet, his temper was half gone. He shrank into the corner and didn't say a word.
Yao Yuguang knew that he couldn't leave today, so he forced a smile at Li Zhao and said, "Mr. Li, are you here to eat today?"
Please, just go away.
"As soon as I came in, I saw this gentleman molesting a woman." Li Zhao's tone was much calmer. "When he tried to stop me, he called me Yan Ting's gigolo..."
"He's talking nonsense!" Yao Yuguang scolded Gou Sheng, then smiled at Li Zhao in a flattering manner: "You and Mr. Ting are in love with each other..."
"Mr. Yao, Yan Ting and I are just ordinary friends." Li Zhao frowned.
"Yes, yes, you are good friends."
Just "good" friends who live in the same house.
"Everything should be done with consent." Li Zhao didn't bother to pay attention to Yao Yuguang's winking. He said to Gou Sheng, "I hope Mr. Gou will not force me."
Gou Sheng opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Yao Yuguang covered his mouth with his hand: "Please rest assured, Mr. Li, I will keep a close eye on him and prevent him from doing anything to this young lady."
Li Zhao turned around and pressed the elevator button. He said to the girl with a gentle expression, "Go back and have a good rest. When you wake up tomorrow, nothing will happen."
"Li Zhao, thank you." The little girl's eyes were red, "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."
After the fear, Sun Jiajia gradually realized that she had caused Li Zhao a lot of trouble. Li Zhao is an orphan with no family background. It would be easy for these rich second-generations to take revenge on him.
Thinking of this, she stopped and said, "Li Zhao, I..."
"Don't let your imagination run wild." The elevator door slowly opened, and Li Zhao pushed the little girl into the elevator. "I'll be fine. Girls shouldn't worry about things that won't happen. It'll make you age faster."
The elevator door slowly closed in front of the little girl. She remembered the fear of being molested by Gou Sheng, the despair of shouting in the corridor but no one came to help, and finally the peace of mind that Li Zhao protected her behind her. She squatted in the elevator, hugged her knees and cried loudly.
Watching the elevator descending floor by floor, Li Zhao looked at Yao Yuguang and Gou Sheng who were standing together: "Yao Yuguang, tell me about Yan Ting."
"Talk about, who?" Yao Yuguang couldn't help stuttering when he heard the word Yan Ting.
Li Zhao glanced at him.
"Okay, okay, come with me." Yao Yuguang had a good relationship with the hotel owner and asked the manager to book a room for him alone.
"Dake, go tell the crew that I met Master Gou and Master Yao and can't leave for the time being. I'll come back in half an hour."
Yao Yuguang: “…”
This sounded a bit strange, as if they were forcing Li Zhao to stay.
Yao Yuguang was inexplicably blamed and dared not say anything or ask anything.
"Okay." Dake looked at Yao Yuguang and Gou Sheng and said, "Zhao Zhao, remember to call me if you have anything."
Yao Yuguang: “…”
If there is a real conflict, they will be the ones who will be in trouble.
I don’t know what this Li Zhao grew up eating. He looks innocent and harmless, but when he beats people up, he punches them hard and does whatever hurts.
Gou Sheng was already scared by Li Zhao's beating. Seeing that Yao Yuguang was so cowardly in front of Li Zhao, he didn't dare to speak.
Although he was called Gou Shao, he was actually a far cry from the real wealthy families. No one, even a real rich young master, dares to hang out with Yao Yuguang now.
These people outside only know that Yao Yuguang and Xu Yanting have a bad relationship, but they don’t know that Xu Yanting hates the Xu family deeply. Yao Yuguang has half Xu family blood. As long as Yanting is alive, no rich young master will be on good terms with Yao Yuguang.
"What does Mr. Li want to talk about?" Knowing that Yan Ting was not here, Yao Yuguang still did not dare to speak loudly.
"Anything is fine." Li Zhao said calmly, "As long as it's something I don't know."
"Actually, what I said last time was all nonsense. The truth is not like this." Yao Yuguang recalled his childhood memories. "I didn't have much contact with my cousin... Mr. Ting. He didn't like to talk or play with others since he was a child. He didn't look like a child at all. The other children in the family didn't like to play with him either, so everyone often talked about him behind his back... saying that he was like his mother, a psychopath..."
"Okay, stop talking!" Li Zhao suddenly stood up and interrupted Yao Yuguang, "You guys go."
Yao Yuguang thought Li Zhao's expression was very strange, as if he was distressed and angry. In the end, all his emotions turned into distress: "Do you really not want to listen anymore?"
Li Zhao ignored him.
"Well, let's go first." Yao Yuguang pulled Gou Sheng, who was already almost awake, and walked out at a speed so fast that it seemed like he was running.
After closing the door, Yao Yuguang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Gou Sheng: "Are you looking for death? How did you offend him?"
"He's just a pretty boy..."
"What a bullshit little white face!" Yao Yuguang quickly covered his mouth and carefully looked back at the closed door. After making sure that Li Zhao would not suddenly come out of the house, he whispered, "Do you know where Li Zhao lives?"
Gou Sheng shook his head.
"He lives with Yan Ting. Last time Li Zhao beat me up, Yan Ting helped him beat me up." Yao Yuguang said unhappily, "How could you treat a pretty boy like this?"
Gou Sheng was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he completely sobered up: "Is Xu Yanting true to Li Zhao?"
"Who told you to call Yan Ting like that?" Yao Yuguang covered Gou Sheng's mouth tightly, "Do you want to die? Do you know that Yan Ting hates people calling him by his full name the most?"
Damn it, this bad friend can’t be saved, so just let him wait for death.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these bad friends were not smart, so Yao Yuguang decided to stay away from them in the future. His life is already in hard mode now, and he doesn't want to enter hell mode.
Sitting alone in the quiet room, Li Zhao's mind was clearer than ever before.
Maybe he should have noticed something was wrong a long time ago, but because he had never come into contact with truly rich people in his life, he ignored many things that were wrong.
Although he has been in this prosperous city for two or three years, Li Zhao is still the boy from that small city at heart.
The photo of Miss Xu in the Cangshi watch collection room looks a bit like Yan Ting in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. It is not a coincidence, but because she is Yan Ting's ancestor.
The moment he found out he had been cheated, his first thought was why Tingting had lied to him, rather than being angry.
Even when Yao Yuguang talked about Tingting's past, he couldn't bear to listen.
Perhaps those past events were what Yan Ting tried hard to hide from him, and were the past that Yan Ting did not want to reveal.
Although he was cheated by his brother, he didn't want to embarrass his brother.
Li Zhao opened his phone, opened Yan Ting's profile picture, stared at the input box for a long time, and finally sighed and locked the phone.
Arriving at the crew's box, Li Zhao apologized as soon as he opened his mouth: "Dear teachers, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"Punish yourself..."
Someone started to make a scene and was about to ask Li Zhao to drink three cups as punishment, but Liu Fen said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's normal that you can't leave for a while when you meet those unreasonable rich second-generations. Come, sit down and eat something first."
Seeing that Liu Fen had spoken, no one dared to make a fuss anymore, and everyone turned to comfort Li Zhaolai.
There were two tables in the box. I don’t know if Liu Fen and Lu Hao intentionally took care of him, but Li Zhao’s seat was left at the main creative table.
Both of them are now big names promoted by Strawberry Entertainment, and I didn’t expect that they would take such good care of the newcomer Li Zhao.
"Thank you, Sister Fenfen." Li Zhao sat down next to Lu Hao, who poured him a glass of juice. "Children who are not yet of legal marriage age, don't join us adults in the fun. Just drink your juice."
Everyone laughed out loud and made fun of Lu Hao for bullying a child, but after hearing what Lu Hao said, no one would be so tactless as to force Li Zhao to drink.
The director raised his glass and said, "Thank you all for your hard work recently. The TV series will be broadcast on the national TV station in a few days. I hope you will cooperate with the crew in the promotion. Come on, let's toast."
"I wish our drama will have long-lasting viewership." Liu Fen raised her glass elegantly, "and great word-of-mouth."
“I wish “Tian Ge” will have long-lasting viewership!”
Everyone is in high spirits. It was very hard to shoot this drama, but the final product is very good and everyone has high expectations for this drama.
There were no conflicts among the crew members, so everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Even Liu Fen, who was trying to lose weight recently, ate a few more chopsticks of meat.
Song Yu was sitting on the other side of Li Zhao. Seeing that Lu Hao was talking to the director and had no time to pay attention to this side, he reached out and poked Li Zhao and asked in a low voice: "Hey, why did you run into Yao Yuguang again?"
Li Zhao wiped the corners of his mouth and turned to look at Song Yu: "What's wrong?"
"Stay away from Yao Yuguang. I heard from others that Yao Yuguang's mother had an old grudge with the nephew who was in power in the Xu family. Last year, her nephew sent her husband to jail. The Yao family's business plummeted, and all the well-known people stayed away from this family." Song Yu was only interested in the entertainment industry and didn't know much about the business circle. He didn't know much about the gossip in the business circle. "Anyway, the families who knew a little bit about the inside story told their younger generations not to get too close to the Yao family to avoid trouble."
Li Zhao suddenly felt that the food on the table had lost its flavor.
"But it's no wonder that this nephew is so cruel to the Yao family." Song Yu muttered in a low voice, "I heard that this nephew's biological mother was driven crazy by these Xu family members. Anyway, the secrets of these top wealthy families are scary to talk about. No wonder people in that environment would be driven crazy."
With a lump in his throat, Li Zhao picked up the juice and took a sip.
The juice was so sweet that it made Li Zhao feel nauseous.
"Why are you so pale?" Song Yu saw that his face suddenly turned pale, "Are you scared by what I said?"
No, when did Li Zhao become so timid and cowardly?
"You are reacting so strongly? I haven't told you yet that this nephew witnessed his own mother go crazy and kill his own father. In the end, his own mother stabbed him and then stabbed herself, and wanted to drag him to jump off the building and commit suicide."
The Xu family's story was so horrifying that it was even reported in newspapers more than 20 years ago.
"So...what happened to him later?"
"What can he do? He didn't want to die with his mother, so he watched his mother jump from the building with his own eyes." To Song Yu, this was just a murder case of a wealthy family more than 20 years ago. "Many people said that the Xu family was possessed by evil spirits, so that's why such a murder happened. In my opinion, the Xu family..."
Li Zhao suddenly interrupted Song Yu: "Stop talking."
"You, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Li Zhao's face was pale, Song Yu dared not say anything more: "Are you catching a cold?"
Li Zhao forced a smile, stood up and said to the crew: "I'm sorry everyone, I have something urgent to do and I need to go back right away."
Seeing that his face looked really ugly, everyone did not try to keep him, but just told him to be careful on the road.
Liu Fen looked at Li Zhao's hurriedly leaving back, her brows slightly furrowed. She opened her phone and checked the Internet, but there was no negative information about Li Zhao.
However, the official Weibo of "Shadow of the Sky" posted a few photos of Li Zhao doing papers in the crew, which made many netizens sigh that the academic master did not fall from the sky.
She checked the comment section and found that netizens' comments on Li Zhao were very friendly, which showed that passers-by had a high degree of favorability towards Li Zhao.
It’s either a career issue or a personal matter in life?
Liu Fen picked up the wine glass and with a few words attracted everyone's attention to herself, making everyone forget that Li Zhao had left early.
It’s always a good idea to do more favors for such a cute little brother.
After getting into the car, Li Zhao took out his cell phone and called Yan Ting.
In the office, Yan Ting was discussing the new season's product issues with two senior executives. When he heard Li Zhao calling in, he raised his hand and pressed the call button.
"Tingting, where are you?"
"I'm in a meeting at the company." Yan Ting motioned for the two executives to wait for a moment, and he walked out with his phone. "Your voice sounds a little strange, what's wrong?"
"I saw a rich second-generation man flirting with a young girl in a hotel, so I meddled in his business." Li Zhao looked at the cars passing by outside the car, "He called me an actor, and I couldn't help but fight with him."
"who"
"What?"
"Who is the one who bullies you?"
"A rich second-generation guy named Gou Shao. But it doesn't matter. I didn't suffer any loss. I beat him back."
"It's good that I didn't suffer any loss." Yan Ting looked at the night outside the window, "Go back and rest early after the dinner. I will be back late tonight."
"Okay." Li Zhao hung up the phone and said to Dake who was driving, "Dake, go to the Canghuan headquarters office building."
On the other end of the phone, Yan Ting arranged people to investigate who the "Mr. Gou" that Li Zhao mentioned was.
The kid he couldn't even bear to say a harsh word to was actually called an actor? !
When the executives saw the big boss coming back, they looked unhappy and exchanged glances with each other.
I don’t know what’s going on recently, but my boss has suddenly become more concerned about the company and has become more emotional. A certain “kid” often appears in his circle of friends. Could it be that… he is truly in love with this “kid”?
Frightened by this speculation, the two of them withdrew their gazes from each other.
It turns out it’s not just a joke, but serious?
When Li Zhao stepped into the door of Cang Huan's headquarters office building, the girl on duty at the front desk was the girl who protected him last time.
"Good evening." He greeted the girl and observed the expression on her face: "Yan Ting asked me to go to his office to find him."
The girl at the front desk widened her eyes and was stunned for several seconds before she spoke: "Okay, okay."
Zaizai’s good friend is actually the big boss? !
No wonder when he came for the first time, it was Special Assistant Qin who took him upstairs without having to go through the visitor registration procedure.
"Thank you." Li Zhao thanked him, "I can go up by myself."
"You're welcome, but the elevator for executives requires a card swipe..."
"It's okay." Li Zhao took off his mask and smiled at the receptionist who called him "Zhao Zhao". "It's the same if I take the ordinary elevator. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to trouble Special Assistant Qin or the people in the secretariat every time."
It turned out that the elevator he took every time was reserved for senior executives. No wonder no other employees used it.
The author has something to say: Tingting baby said to the rich second generation who was about to blow himself up: You were just beaten by Zhao Zhao, but Zhao Zhao was called an actor by you!
Second generation: So?
Baby Tingting: So I want to help Zhaozhao vent his anger.
