Chapter 1281 A Midnight Surprise! (Please Subscribe!)
Watching Xiao Wang leave in a sorry state, Wang Jing smiled bitterly. He wanted to develop his career in the mainland, but he didn't expect to get caught up in the struggle between two companies right from the start.

Hua Shier saw his concerns and immediately comforted him:
"Director Wang, don't worry. Just focus on your work. I'll handle any problems that arise, including any subsequent issues!"

He emphasized the word "follow-up" to reassure Wang Jing.

Wang Jing understood the meaning behind Hua Shier's words, and his expression softened considerably.

While the waiter was serving the food, Wang Jing started talking about work again:
"Su Sheng said on the phone that besides this movie, there's also a TV series. I wonder if he brought the script?"

"The script is at the company. I can tell you the general plot!"

Hua Shier recounted the plot of "My Love from the Star" in a story-like manner, about Do Min-joon, an alien who has lived on Earth for 400 years, meeting Cheon Song-yi, a famous actress who moved next door.
Even with only a rough outline of the story, Wang Jing had already judged that if the series was well-made, it would definitely be a hit. He exclaimed:
"Su Sheng, as expected of a writer, this story is really well written and very original. In our line of work, whether it's making movies or TV series, the story is the foundation. If we can't make a good film with your story, then it's my fault!"

Miss Wang took a large shrimp, peeled it, and stuffed it directly into Hua Shier's mouth. The latter said impatiently:
"Can you please not be so affectionate? It'll make people misunderstand and think there's something between us!"

He also specifically explained to Wang Jing, "We're just good friends, don't misunderstand!"

Wang Jing Miller laughed, "Just guess whether I believe it or not!"
Ms. Wang didn't offer any explanation, nor did she care about any misunderstandings. Instead, she brought up the matter of the TV series:

What do you think of me playing Cheon Song-yi?

Hua Shier almost spat out the shrimp:
"What do you think? I've already explained Cheon Song-yi's character setup clearly, don't you think you're suitable?"

Miss Wang shrugged matter-of-factly:

"Didn't you say that Cheon Song-yi is a popular actress? Then let me ask you, who is more popular than me right now?"

This question really stumped Hua Shier. Well, this woman has indeed done quite well these past two years. He just read in the newspaper yesterday that she has been the highest-paid female artist in the Chinese-speaking world for four consecutive years.

"and many more!"

Hua Shier felt misled: "Being a celebrity is just one aspect of the character's portrayal. I could also say that Cheon Song-yi is stunningly beautiful and charming. What do you think?"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a chilling killing intent emanating from the other party. Hua Twelve, a wise man, knew when to yield.

"Although you would also be a good fit."

Miss Wang's face lit up with a smile again, and Hua Twelve continued:
"But you don't have time. Mingyu called me and said you have many concerts in the second half of the year, and she asked me to take her to see them. Don't you have to rehearse? Our crew can't wait for anyone!"

Miss Wang blinked, smiled smugly, and said, "Okay, I can accept your reason!"

Wang Jing asked:
"Mr. Su, have you cast the actresses for these two dramas yet? I think there are a few actresses from Hong Kong who would be perfect for the lead roles in these two dramas. For example, Li Jiaxin could play Cheon Song-yi. She's the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong ever!"

"Also, for this 'My Sassy Girl' role, I think Shu Qi is a good choice. We've worked together before, and I know her personality fits the character perfectly. Also, I don't know if you've seen the 'Young and Dangerous' series, Mr. Su, but the character with the stutter, Siu Siu Lak, is also very suitable for the role."

After listening to Wang Jing's explanation, Hua Shier knew that he wanted to promote Hong Kong artists. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he had to admire Wang Jing's eye for talent. He really knew how to pick actors, and the actresses he mentioned were indeed suitable for these two films.

Speaking of Hua Shier, he wasn't entirely satisfied with Li Bingbing playing the role of the sassy girlfriend and Fan Bingbing playing the role of Cheon Song-yi. Li Bingbing's personality is quite different from the sassy girlfriend. If Shu Qi or Li Zi had played the role, they would have been more suitable than her.

Fan Bingbing's portrayal of Cheon Song-yi was also a bit off. It's not that she was bad, but back in 2000, Fan Bingbing hadn't fully matured yet. If it were during her later "Fan Ye" phase, she could definitely have easily captured the character.

However, even if the production by 'Tianxia Media' is slightly subpar, it's impossible for them to benefit someone else.

Hua Twelve didn't hide anything and said with a smile:
"Director Wang, these two films are the first productions of Tianxia Media in the film and television industry, so of course we have to promote our own contracted artists. I plan to cast Shuang Bing in these two films. Although they may not be as suitable as the ones you mentioned, they are still quite good. I hope Director Wang can help me train them well!"

Wang Jing smiled and nodded, about to agree, but then his eyes flickered as he looked towards the door, and he reminded him:

"Su Sheng, it seems you're in trouble!"

Hua Twelve and Miss Wang both turned to look, and saw Little Wang leading two men in hats toward them, pointing at Hua Twelve:
"He's the one who splashed me with tea!"

After Uncle Hat came over, he saluted first, and then began to inquire about Hua Twelve's situation.

Hua Twelve smiled and said:
"I accidentally spilled tea all over this gentleman, but I have already apologized and promised to compensate him for the damage to his clothes!"

Mr. Wang said angrily:

"Do I need your little bit of money, Comrade Hat? Arrest him right now! He should be detained for a few days for spilling my tea!"

Uncle Hat glanced at Little Wang:
"Please wait until we have investigated the matter thoroughly. Whether or not you will be detained depends on the specific circumstances!"

Little Wang nodded: "Okay, then you guys hurry up and investigate. I want to see this bastard in jail!"

Hua Twelve chuckled softly:
"Do you even know the law? First of all, it was an unintentional mistake. Secondly, the tea was just ordinary warm tea and didn't cause you any serious harm. On the basis of my apology and willingness to compensate, why are you making me go to jail? I feel like you're completely ignorant of the law!"

Uncle Hat gave Hua Twelve a deep look, feeling that this kid didn't seem like a good person.

However, he still spoke truthfully to Mr. Wang:

"What this comrade said is correct. I see you weren't injured, and he's willing to compensate. If it was truly an unintentional mistake, then we can only mediate as this comrade suggested: an apology and compensation. Detention is out of the question!"

Mr. Wang immediately grasped the key point: "He definitely did it on purpose, I don't believe it."

He wanted to tell them to check the surveillance footage if they didn't believe him, but they were in a high-end restaurant where people of status or foreign guests dined, and the privacy requirements were very high, so Mr. Wang searched around but couldn't find any surveillance footage.

He quickly said, "By the way, my female companion can testify for me that he deliberately splashed me with water!"

At this moment, Miss Wang chuckled:
"If that's what you're saying, then I can vouch for you—A-Su accidentally spilled it all over you!"

"you"

Uncle Hat interrupted Little Wang:
"Can you produce any new evidence now? If not, then we can only proceed with the mediation!"

Little Wang knew he couldn't get away with it and could only accept his bad luck, but judging from his eyes, this matter was definitely not over. After Uncle Hat resolved the dispute, he smiled and said to Miss Wang:
"Ms. Wang, my whole family are your fans. Could you please sign an autograph for me?"

His partner quickly chimed in, saying he was also a fan.

Ms. Wang smiled and said, "Let's take a picture together!"

Mr. Wang, who hadn't left yet, almost vomited blood. It turned out that the case was being handled by the other side. He was so angry that he turned and left.

After dinner, Hua Shier escorted Wang Jing back to his hotel, and they agreed to discuss the details at the company the next day.

Turning back, Miss Wang wanted to drag him to the courtyard to play mahjong, but Hua Shier, seeing the fiery look in her eyes, immediately refused, making an excuse that he had something to do, and hurriedly left. This made the former stomp his feet in anger, saying that he was a man who used people and then threw them away.

After escaping Miss Wang's clutches, Hua Shier checked the time. Instead of returning to the company, he went to an internet cafe, turned on a computer, and planned to check the promotion of Legend of Mir online.

The internet cafe he found had over a hundred machines. As soon as he entered, he noticed the Legend of Mir 2 zone sign posted near a dozen or so machines in the corner.

Hua Shier even pretended not to know the situation and asked the internet cafe owner what was going on.

The internet cafe owner was quite enthusiastic and told him that it was a promotion by the game company. From July 1st to July 10th, if he played a game called "Legend of Mir" on those computers, he could get free internet access.

If Hua Shier wants to play, he should come earlier.

Hua Shier turned on a computer, sat down, first checked for any Trojans, and then logged into his QQ account with five eights.

As soon as I logged in, a pop-up window appeared, announcing that the Legend of Mir 2 would officially launch on July 1st, along with other game information.

Hua Shier's QQ number with five eights must be too lucky. Just by watching the ads for a short while, I kept hearing coughing sounds and receiving friend requests, all from female QQ accounts.

He ignored all friend requests. His online friends, including Xiao Ma, also noticed that Hua Shier had logged in. After chatting for a few minutes, he logged off QQ. He looked around the desktop for games and found that there were no online games, only single-player games.

Just then, someone in the internet cafe shouted "Red Alert!" Hua Shier quickly opened the Red Alert website and connected, only to be brutally beaten by the other party, leaving him screaming in agony.

I must say, these ancient LAN games are quite fun; before you know it, you've been playing until late at night.

Hua Shier simply booked an all-night session and even asked the owner to make him instant noodles with sausage, trying to recapture the feeling of staying up all night back in his school days.

After finishing Red Alert, Hua12 started playing Counter-Strike Online. He kept dominating people, which made the players in the same internet cafe lose their composure. Some of his friends went from machine to machine looking for him, determined to see if he had any cheats on his machine.

Hua Shier wasn't angry. He just smiled and let them search. His main goal was to let them know that he was truly awesome, not just a figurehead.

After confirming that this guy wasn't cheating, the other person stood behind and watched Hua Shier play two more games. In the end, he looked embarrassed and didn't say anything. He gave him a thumbs up and gave him the highest praise between men: "You're awesome!"

Playing until midnight, Hua Twelve went to the restroom and created a clone of himself to go back and continue playing.
Hua Shier's main body opened a portal and arrived in Tokyo, Japan. He kept his word; he said he would get a toy for Little Wang, so he had to do it.

With a single step, the four plates of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God opened simultaneously, instantly covering an area of ​​ten kilometers in radius.

Hua Shier focused his attention on the search, and the next moment, his expression became somewhat strange. He had originally intended to find a member of a Japanese mafia, but he hadn't expected to have such an unexpected discovery.

Minako is a student at the Tokyo Institute of Technology Affiliated High School. Today, she went to karaoke with her classmates and came back a little late. She was then dragged into an empty alley by an older man who had been following her.

The middle-aged man was wearing a trench coat, which he suddenly unfolded in front of her:

"Little girl, look at this! Have you ever seen anything like it before?"

Just when Minako thought she was doomed, the scenery around her suddenly changed, and she was on a brightly lit street. The alley and the old man seemed to have vanished like a nightmare. She came to her senses and quickly ran home.

On the other side, the lewd old man realized in the blink of an eye that the little girl was gone, and he could no longer continue his opening remarks. In his place was a handsome stranger.

Then the handsome man clicked his tongue and said:

"It really is tiny! If I didn't have good eyesight, I wouldn't have been able to see it!"

As he spoke, he delivered a groin kick. Just as the uncle's eyes bulged in pain and he was about to scream, the handsome man lightly chopped him in the neck, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.

This handsome man was none other than Hua Shier. When he was using Qimen Dunjia to find his target, he unexpectedly discovered a girl being dragged into an alley by this uncle. Having watched so many Japanese educational videos, Hua Shier naturally knew the other party's purpose without even asking.

So he used the Eight Gates Transfer to switch places with the girl, choosing this uncle as a gift for Little Wang. His previous chop had already severed the other man's life.

Meanwhile, in the capital of China, at the mansion of Boss Wang, after sending away the tools for venting his anger, Boss Wang took a hot bath, drank a glass of red wine, and then went to sleep.

Not long after he fell asleep, a door appeared out of thin air, and Hua Twelve dragged the Japanese uncle in, removed his trench coat using his storage space, and then casually tossed him next to Little Wang.

Feeling the bed vibrate, Xiao Wang seemed about to wake up. Hua Shier casually pointed a finger, and an invisible force struck the other's pressure point.

After that, Hua Shier deployed T1000 to set up miniature cameras in Xiao Wang's house and in the cars parked outside, wanting to see how the other party would respond the next morning!
The next day, when Xiao Wang woke up, he felt an arm draped over him.

He frowned slightly, thinking that he had chased the man away yesterday. Surprised, he turned his head and saw a burly man with a beard lying naked next to him, with one hand on his body.

Little Wang was immediately terrified. He felt like he was no longer pure.

Although he likes beautiful women and he also likes to cough, he really can't accept this one in front of him. Did he drink too much last night and not notice, choosing the wrong target?
He sat up abruptly, quickly dressed, and then called out to the man on the bed:
"Hey, wake up! Who the hell are you? Wake up right now!"

A strange thing happened: no matter how he called out to the other person, there was no response.

Suddenly, Mr. Wang noticed a very serious problem: the other person's chest, which was covered in chest hair, did not rise or fall at all.

Little Wang shakily stepped forward, cautiously approached the other person with his finger, and held it under their nose for a moment. He was so frightened that he took several steps back and sat down on the ground with a thud!

His face turned deathly pale, because the other person wasn't breathing: "Dead, dead?"
