On the way to Daoshi, Wei Yang looked at Li Jiahang in silence as he was driving with his head shaking. After a long time, he asked carefully.
"What has stimulated you recently?"
"No."
Li Jiahang was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said it with confidence.
"Don't you think it's fun to play this while driving?"
“…”
Wei Yang was speechless for a moment, then uttered a few words: "Speak louder."
"Okay."
Although the Tuhai music is rustic, it is also very exciting. Wei Yang also thought it was rustic before, but when he reached a certain age, he accepted it well and even enjoyed it.
After driving for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the destination. Wei Yang and Li Jiahang got off the car, and Ma Xin, who had been waiting here, greeted them warmly.
"Brother Yang, Brother Hang, I miss you so much."
Wei Yang hugged him and patted Ma Xin's belly with a smile: "Ma Ke is corrupt, he even has a big belly."
"We don't have to film or keep in shape."
As Wei Yang's college roommate, Ma Xin also graduated from the Performance Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy and was also a handsome young man back then.
However, because he had no intention of pursuing a career in art and had no worries, he ate and drank as much as he wanted. He was a little chubby when he graduated from college. Now, after not seeing him for a few years, he has a big pot belly and his face has become much rounder.
"Brother Yang."
He Lingfeng next to him also greeted him. Compared to Ma Xin who went back to his hometown and was not easily seen, He Lingfeng was from Shanghai, and they would get together when they had time.
However, around the middle of last year, this guy was stimulated by some unknown reason and abandoned his family business and ran to Dali to open a B&B.
The Shanghai young man who used to have a slicked-back hair and powdered face and was modern and fashionable, now took the literary and artistic route.
Wei Yang hadn't seen him for half a year. This guy didn't take many photos in his circle of friends. When he saw him today, he didn't look fat, but he had long hair and a little stubble, and he looked haggard and melancholy.
"Not bad, Ling Feng has that style now."
"No way, the little girl over there just buys into this."
He Lingfeng smoothed his hair, lit a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring with a sigh on his face, and said only one word -
Sexy!
Ma Xin didn't get along well with He Lingfeng when they were in school, but now their relationship is much better. He hugged Li Jiahang with a wicked smile on his face, expressing a bit of envy and jealousy.
"Brother Yang, you don't know, this guy is very lucky with women. I don't know how many innocent girls he has ruined in Dali. He is simply a beast."
"Beast."
Li Jiahang also started to curse. Wei Yang thought about it and decided not to say a word in case he got implicated.
"Okay, don't stay here anymore, settle down first and find a place to drink."
After a while of greetings, Ma Xin, as the host, took the initiative to propose, but Wei Yang stopped him.
"Don't drink. You're getting married soon. It would be troublesome if you delay. Let's have a meal and chat. Then you can do your work first. We can talk in detail later."
That’s right, Wei Yang and Li Jiahang came to Dao City to attend the wedding of their university roommate Ma Xin.
After graduation, Ma Xin started working in the government under the arrangement of his family. After a few years, he finally got a formal job, found a partner, and became the first among his roommates to get married.
They had a good relationship in college, and Wei Yang was not too busy at work, so he and Li Jiahang just came here together.
Considering that it was his roommate's wedding, Wei Yang was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble and thoughts, so he did not bring any entourage. He and Li Jiahang took turns driving over.
This was indeed the case. When they saw that Wei Yang and Li Jiahang came alone, although everyone was a little unfamiliar with each other due to not seeing each other for a long time, they soon became familiar with each other.
If Boss Wei brought a few people over, they might be separated.
"Haha, congratulations, Xinzi. I still remember the days when we skipped classes and watched porn together in the Internet cafe. In the blink of an eye, you are married."
"Boss Wei has a really good memory. Come, let me toast you."
Boss Wei's career is developing too fast now. There are fewer and fewer old acquaintances who can laugh and joke in front of him, and he is encountering more and more "thick barriers".
Especially for people like Ma Xin and He Lingfeng, who are only slightly acquainted with each other, have a good relationship, and have no vested interests, he really doesn't want to get involved in the "Brother Runtu and the Master" incident.
Wei Yang came lightly, and with Li Jiahang acting as the middleman, the four university roommates had a generally harmonious meeting this time.
Wei Yang and Li Jiahang envied Ma and He's leisurely, carefree lives, and the latter two also yearned for Wei and Li's glamorous celebrity lives.
"Brother Yang, I saw on the news that the guy surnamed Lin betrayed you. Damn it, I should have known that the bastard was a piece of shit and killed him if I had seen him."
As they were talking, they started talking about the recent conflict between Huanrui and Blue Whale.
Although Ma and He are not insiders, they are both from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and have Wei Yang as their roommate, so they are very concerned about entertainment news.
Lin Gengxin and Ma Xin are no strangers to each other, especially Ma Xin. When Lin was at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, he was considered Wei's younger brother. The two had a good relationship and even played basketball together.
And now, when Ma Xin thinks about Lin Gengxin's betrayal of Wei Yang, he feels so disgusted.
It has to be said that in this dispute between Huanrui and Blue Whale, Lin Gengxin and Da Mimi, who are in the midst of job-hopping and poaching storms, have both received some negative comments.
In comparison, Lin Gengxin faces much more negative public opinion than Da Mimi.
Firstly, Da Mimi had done some unethical things before, so she was a veteran, and she had also taken the black and red route, so everyone had a high enough moral threshold for her.
It's like if a good girl with good academic performance spits and swears everywhere, everyone would be very shocked.
But if she was originally a little gangster, then everyone would have been accustomed to her and it would be normal.
This is the result of having a low moral bottom line and not having to deal with the troubles of facing morality.
Secondly, although Da Mimi has used a lot of Huanrui’s resources, she is not a member of Huanrui, and there is no clear regulation that she must join.
So, her signing with Coral Entertainment was morally flawed, but legally and logically correct.
Because of the precedent of Tangren, many people even think that Huanrui is too stupid for not guarding against Da Mimi, and they deserve it.
One point that must be mentioned is that Huanrui does not have a good reputation due to its close relationship with Dead Girl and the fact that it has produced a large number of "soap operas", and many people are happy to watch the fun.
Just like when that dead girl got beaten up a while ago, netizens all cheered for her, which shows that many times, people are targeting the person rather than the matter.
However, Lin Gengxin's character is much worse than Da Mimi's.
He is Wei Yang's direct junior fellow apprentice, and a popular young actor who was trained by him from school students. The Deyun Club, where the fat black boy is released, considers him a "disciple".
In particular, fans of Wei Yang and Blue Whale hate this kind of "traitor" very much, and they are also the main force of negative public opinion against Lin.
Many students of Shanghai Theatre Academy even regard him as a disgrace to the school. There is no rule that students of Shanghai Theatre Academy must follow Boss Wei, but you cannot betray him.
If Senior Wei is hurt and has ideas about students from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, wouldn't that damage the interests of the entire department? More importantly, Lin Gengxin himself has a refreshing and sunny personality, with a bit of the honest and straightforward personality of a Northeastern person. As a result, this job change has ruined his personality, ruined his popularity, and even caused people to call him a scheming dog.
In fact, Lin Gengxin was really wronged this time.
This kind of situation is very common in the entertainment industry. If he just changed jobs, he would not be criticized so badly, and he might not even be criticized.
The key is that it triggered a war between the two companies. Even in the events sorted out by the outside world, the order was - Huanrui poached him first, Wei Yang retaliated by buying Da Mimi at the bottom, and the resentment between the two companies grew deeper and deeper, and the relationship gradually deteriorated, and finally a war broke out.
This put Lin Gengxin in an extremely awkward position, and he became a traitor and culprit in the eyes of many people.
Therefore, after much consideration, Lin Gengxin wanted to change the public impression, but Huanrui gave in to Wei Yang, and he felt that the company had no future, so he simply invested in Huayi, which tricked Huanrui again.
Of course, this was also due to the instigation of a certain enthusiastic Shanghai company.

Lin Gengxin originally thought that by not going to Huanrui, he could clear his reputation as a "traitor".
However, he never expected that he changed three employers within a month, and was himself in the whirlpool of negative public opinion, so not only did he fail to clear his name, but he became the "Lu Bu of the entertainment industry", with the euphemistic name - Lin Fengxian.
One wrong step, all wrong!
Lin Gengxin is now stuck in a quagmire, his reputation is terrible, and he is involved in a lawsuit. His fate is even worse than Huanrui.
Even Wei Yang hadn't expected these. Of course, he didn't have a good impression of him now, but he didn't want to be so ruthless.
Even if he was instigating from behind, he just wanted to do something bad to Huanrui. At that time, he wanted to drive the two sides apart. He never expected that Lin Gengxin would become Little Wenhou in a fit of anger.
The effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is not just harsh, it's even a bit excessive, and it might cause some artists and employees to feel grief over the loss of the rabbit.
But since he had done it, Wei Yang couldn't say that he regretted it. It didn't matter if he was a bit ruthless. At worst he could use some gentle tactics later to calm the situation down first.
This dispute with Huanrui was a shock to Wei Yang and the Blue Whale group both internally and externally.
Blue Whale rose too fast. Outsiders were unsure of Boss Wei's strength, and insiders were a little restless and turbulent. They wanted to make a big move, flex their muscles, and the world would be peaceful.
Huanrui and Lin Gengxin are two good targets.
The former is in a special situation. It has a great reputation, but lacks strength. Although it seems to be full of talented people, they are almost all mercenaries. They lack cohesion and have fatal shortcomings.
The latter is not an unknown person, but a direct descendant of Wei Yang, and has sufficient weight, but his status and commercial value are only above average, and he is not indispensable, so he will not harm the company's foundation.
Wei Yang didn't think too much about it at first, but as the situation got worse, he realized it was a rare opportunity, so he made a big deal out of it.
He also got some benefits by the way. When he said that he would let Da Mimi play Bi Yao in "Zhu Xian", it was just bragging, but now he has made the boast come true.
On the contrary, Wei Yang was a little hesitant about the role of Lu Xueqi. He preferred Liu Tianxian, but he couldn't ignore Liu Shishi.
But these are all small matters. As one of the most suitable and most famous online literature IPs for adaptation, with the "Zhu Xian" project in hand, and with the Blue Whale's golden signboard, Boss Wei is confident that the profit will easily surpass that of "Joy of Life".
But there was no need to discuss these with Ma Xin and the others, including Lin Gengxin, and Wei Yang had no intention of laughing at the joke.
This person has passed away in his eyes. They will go their separate ways from now on. Whether he soars to the sky or dies in the mud has nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Wei Yang didn't want to talk more, Ma Xin thought he was hurt, so he changed the topic to his wedding.
"Brother Yang, please help me."
"explain."
"These few days are the peak wedding season. The wedding car we ordered is not of a particularly good quality. I think your Maybach is pretty good. Can we..."
"No problem, I'll be your driver myself tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
Ma Xin toasted with a smile on his face. Wei Yang and Li Jiahang arrived late and had not made any preparations in advance. Most importantly, they were afraid of stealing the limelight from the groom, so they did not serve as best men.
Wei Yang still felt a little guilty for not being able to help, so it would be nice to be a wedding car driver now.
The next morning, Wei Yang and Li Jiahang found a shop and washed the car inside and out, making sure it was in perfect order as a wedding car.
Wei Yang made two more phone calls afterwards. When they just arrived at Ma Xin's house and hadn't even sat down yet, someone sent them a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Bentley Flying Spur.
"I'm borrowing my friend's car. I'll let Brother Jiahang and Lingfeng drive it later. You can pick which one is suitable for picking up the bride."
Ma Xin was a little surprised that he had lived in Dao City for so many years, but was still not as good as Wei Yang.
But think about it and understand. Their family in the island city is considered middle class at best. Wei Yang is a multi-billionaire with countless connections, so borrowing two luxury cars is nothing.
If it was in Shanghai, a few phone calls would send a luxury car fleet directly over...
"Let's use a Rolls-Royce. It looks more luxurious."
Seeing that Ma Xin kept looking at the Rolls-Royce, Wei Yang was afraid that he would be embarrassed to say it, so he gave it to him directly.
Normally, the best car would be used to pick up the bride. Although his Maybach was not bad, it was not as expensive or conspicuous as the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
"Let me drive it."
He Lingfeng rubbed his hands. His family was quite wealthy, but it was not enough for him to afford a luxury car of this level, so he couldn't help but be eager to try.
Wei Yang naturally didn't care. Li Jiahang had been with Boss Wei for a long time and had seen all sorts of things there before. Seeing this, he took the key to the Bentley on his own initiative.
Looking at He Lingfeng who couldn't wait to test drive the car, Boss Wei chuckled.
"This kid missed a trick. The first car can only pick up the bride, but we can pick up the bridesmaids."
Li Jiahang also smiled and nudged Ma Xin: "Tell me, are there any pretty bridesmaids?"
Ma Xin thought for a moment: "They can't compare to those female stars of Brother Tongyang, but there is one nicknamed Peach, who is quite interesting, and there is also a rich little woman named Meng, whose style is more... wild."
“Tsk tsk.”
Li Jiahang couldn't help but tease: "Why do you remember your wife's best friend so clearly? I'm afraid you have some ulterior motives."
"What are you talking about?"
Ma Xin said righteously, "I was just a family member and did some basic research. I didn't have any dirty thoughts. How could I still be a human being if I attacked my girlfriend's best friend?"
Wei Yang: “…”
Just chat, why attack me personally? (End of this chapter)
