Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 437: Forced to Slap in the Face
While those people were discussing, Zhang Hongsen and Fang Hong were watching from the side without disturbing them.

Of course, we also saw Chow Yun Fat’s emotional fluctuations.

During this period, Zhang Hongsen spoke very little. He was just a mediator, not a participant, and he did not support anyone.

He is equivalent to a parent, mediating conflicts among children, and his identity inherently plays this role.

When Fang Hong and those people reached a stalemate in the negotiations, he would push them a little, and when the negotiations went smoothly, he would listen to their past grievances.

To put it bluntly, it's essentially a personal grudge.

There is competition in the film market. The fittest survive and the weak are eliminated. It’s that simple.

Those people discussed and seemed to have a disagreement. Fa Ge refused to agree. Mu Yedong was anxious: "How much is your dignity worth? I will give it to you."

"Mr. Mu, this is not a question of money. It's about how old I am and how old he is. If I let him slap me in the face, I'd become a clown." Fa Ge argued.

He loves money very much, but he can make it in other ways. This way hurts his self-esteem too much.

"Just help. Director Zhang is here. Do you think he really dares to hit you? He's just venting his anger. Who told you to always curse others in public?" Wong Jing said easily.

"Boss Huang, it's not that I won't help you. But do you believe what you said? Is the principal really that kind?" Fa Ge turned around and looked at his former boss.

He used to be an artist of Cinema City.

It can be said that Chow Yun-fat’s current status was due to the support of Wong Jing, including the promotion of Yuzhou Dan, who has a very high prestige.

"Well, if he really hits you, you can hit my old face, okay?" Wong Jing patted his sagging face.

Although the principal is arrogant, he treats people differently. He was very polite to Director Zhang and sat down when he was told to.

Fa Ge remained silent. He felt very embarrassed to hear his former boss and financial sponsor say this, and it was unreasonable for him to accept it.

"Afa, just help us to get this matter over with. We will consider it as a debt we owe you." Wang Haifeng explained to him with emotion. He had a good relationship with Brother Fa.

"Yes, we won't treat you unfairly. We supported you in the past, so you should give something back." Mu Yedong was also using moral blackmail.

Brother Fa sighed. Looking at these familiar people who were forcing his boss, he felt very disappointed and in a difficult situation.

How did it get to this point?
This is normal. Capital only cares about profits. How could they support him? The benefits he creates are far less than the harm caused by the principal.

But he couldn't refuse these people's reputation and integrity, as they were all his financial backers or people who had helped him.

How to refuse? How to refuse? They are all well-known figures, and they all have a certain prestige and influence in Hong Kong.

With these people united, he couldn't refuse, whether it was reasonable or common sense.

This made him feel deflated.

"Principal, it was Ah Fat who was wrong before. Now that he has apologized to you, please show some mercy." Wong Jing did not give any explanation. He pressed down Ah Fat and turned to Fang Hong.

"Can you represent him?" Fang Hong said.

"Principal, our past grievances are a matter between the two of us. There is no need for you to involve so many people and drag everyone into forcing me." Fa Ge still wanted to struggle.

"I'm not forcing you. You can leave this door now. I won't stop you." Fang Hong said easily.

"Okay, Afa, you have to admit your mistakes." Wang Haifeng reminded him, stop talking so much and apologize quickly.

Fa Ge was under great pressure, but he had no choice but to say, "Just think of it as my fault before. I apologize to you."

"You were in the wrong, so how can you apologize? You still think you are a superior citizen, so put away your arrogance." Fang Hong stood up, walked slowly to stand in front of Fa Ge, and looked at him intently.

The two looked at each other, Fa Ge had a blank expression on his face. He still wanted to maintain his superior mentality and did not want to bow his head in front of the principal.

But in the end, he bowed his head and admitted his fault: "I'm sorry, principal, it's all my fault. I apologize to you. Please don't bear grudges."

He was under a lot of pressure, not only from the principal, but also from the capital around him, all watching him.

Fang Hong raised one hand high.

This made everyone around them look pale. Are they really going to fight? But no one stopped them, so they just fought.

Fa Ge's eyes narrowed and became dangerous.

"Xiao Fang, that's enough, don't go too far." Zhang Hongsen suddenly spoke, asking him to know his limits.

He is so old, a senior, just apologize and let it go, give him some face, and don't be so cruel in everything.

Fang Hong did not respond. He raised his hand high, then gently lowered it and patted Fa Ge's face.

Although he didn't hit her, it was extremely disrespectful. Fang Hong even had his own excuse: "You scolded me for so long, it's not too much for me to touch your face."

Fa Ge's face turned red and ugly. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said nothing.

Although this is better than slapping him in the face, it is not much better. It is a humiliation, a disdain, a kind of looking down from a high position.

How could someone like him get slapped in the face?

"Okay, we've apologized and fought, so this matter is over now, right?" Wong Jing relaxed.

Everyone else also relaxed. As for the grievances that Chow Yun-fat suffered, it was nothing and no one could empathize with him.

They only care about their own interests.

"I didn't hit him, I just want justice and an apology." Fang Hong denied hitting Fa Ge.

Forcing a person into this state, as if he were the victim.

Yes, yes, yes, you are right. Wong Pak Ming did not argue with him: "What about our business?"

"I mean what I say. I will withdraw the lawsuit and will not suppress your publicity. From now on, we will not infringe on each other. Of course, we will still compete in the market." Fang Hong made it clear.

It's not like if Chow Yun Fat apologizes, he will be let off the hook. That's not going to happen.

"We understand what you mean!" said Wong Jing.

Let’s get over this hurdle first, and talk about the rest later.

"Be a good person in the future. If you bite someone again, I won't be as easy to deal with as you are today." Fang Hong said to Fa Ge.

They should be thankful that this is the Film Bureau. If it weren't for the Film Bureau, he would have slapped Fa Ge in the face. Fa Ge said nothing, his chest heaving, looking very upset. To say that he bites people is just like saying that he is a dog.

But he could only endure it. He had been slapped in the face, what else could he do? Going hard would only intensify the conflict again, and the slap he had received before would be in vain.

The others didn't say anything. It didn't matter since they weren't the ones being beaten.

After finishing the work here, Fang Hong ignored the others and said to Zhang Hongsen: "Director Zhang, I'm leaving first."

"Go."

Seeing that the matter was over, Zhang Hongsen did not keep him.

He will not be involved in this matter. After the mediation, everything will be restored to its original state. As for their personal grudges, they will solve them themselves.

If you can't solve the problem, it's just your own fault, don't blame anyone else.

After Fang Hong left, it was quiet for a while. Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Seeing that Fa Ge was still blushing, Wang Haifeng patted his shoulder comfortingly, indicating that it was over and everything was fine.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"You can leave now. This matter ends here." Zhang Hongsen saw the guests off and didn't want to say more.

You can't even handle such a small thing, and yet you still bother him.

"Thank you, Director Zhang." Wong Jing expressed his gratitude.

Wang Jin was also very aware of the situation and took two steps forward, while the others did not move.

But they didn't stay long, and went out together. Wang Haifeng said, "I'm the host today, let's go to the club, and Ah Fa will go too."

"I won't go. You guys go." Fa Ge was in no mood, mainly because he was discouraged by the principal.

Anyone who encounters such a thing will feel uncomfortable.

"Let's go, it's not a big deal, relax. Don't you like Shang K the most? Let's go to Shang K." Wang Haifeng put his arm around Fa Ge's shoulder and forced him to go.

I also know that his good friend is unhappy. He has solved such a big problem for them, so it is only right for him to treat him to a meal. It doesn't cost much.

The others all agreed, feeling relaxed and in a good mood. They didn't know what they were so excited about and couldn't understand it. It was as if the movie had not been a loss.

When they walked outside, Fang Hong had already left to pick up Liu Tianxian.

Before Lu Dabo left, he saw those Hong Kong people and Hong Kong capital in the distance getting into luxury cars one by one, and he followed them.

The principal had told him to find out where those Hong Kong people were, to prevent them from plotting to murder him.

In fact, he was overthinking it. These people might have the courage to do this in Hong Kong, but here, they don't even have the guts.

In the past, the Xiang family was very arrogant when they came here, but they were always slapped back and didn’t dare to say a word.

It's just some harsh words behind people's backs.

Fang Hong picked up Liu Tianxian, and then they went to a beautifully decorated hot pot restaurant.

On a round table, a steaming hot pot was boiling. Several women were there, placing the ingredients and chatting.

They were having a great time chatting, with laughter as loud as silver bells.

"Come on, congratulations to Tianxian and the principal for getting their marriage certificate." Shu Chang seemed very lively and raised his glass high.

Everyone raised their glasses and gathered in the middle. With a "ding" sound, everyone's glasses clinked.

"Shouldn't you two have a drink?" Jane Zhang slammed the table with her chopsticks.

"He can't drink because he has to drive soon. I'll drink!" Liu Tianxian raised his glass and poured the beer into his mouth generously.

Fang Hong just watched her drink a glass of beer, burp, and remain calm.

"Well done, Yifei. I like your personality. You are generous and unpretentious." Jane Zhang clapped her hands.

The women were so excited that the men seemed to have little presence.

Feng Ke, who is also Jane Zhang’s boyfriend, saw the principal, bent down and handed over a business card, and complimented him: “Hello, principal, I am the CEO of Shaocheng Times. This is my business card. If you need cooperation in the future, you can contact me. We can hold various celebrity events, including concerts.”

He introduced his business scope. After Fang Hong listened, he took the business card, looked at it and said, "Okay."

In fact, it's just perfunctory. Who has time to cooperate with him?

There are many Yutu artists, and many of them are popular. We can indeed ask this person to host a celebrity meet-and-greet, sing a song or something.

But Yutu has his own partners and does not need to find this person, and he and Jane Zhang are destined to separate.

"Principal, please come to us if you have business in the future." Jane Zhang held Feng Ke's arm intimately, leaning forward, looking drunk.

"Okay!" Fang Hong nodded, but it was just a perfunctory response.

"Principal, thank you for the song you gave me before, which made me popular again." Yao Beina raised the glass and then drank it in one gulp, feeling relieved.

The previous song "Little Lucky" greatly increased her popularity, and she participated in various business activities and made a lot of money.

After all, the movie is popular and the song is popular too!
Some netizens even spoke up for her and went to Youniao's Weibo to slap her in the face, saying that she could produce good works even without relying on her.

This happened last year. Yao Beina participated in the Voice of China, and in order to keep the members of his team, Youniao treated Yao Beina unfairly.

That incident made Yao Beina cry on the spot.

So many netizens are still quite upset, but fortunately the principal is there to help support him.

"It's all trivial. You're not in good health. If you can't drink, then don't drink." Fang Hong signaled that she didn't have to drink.

"It's okay, I feel fine." Yao Beina said.

Fang Hong didn't try to persuade her and just let her do what she wanted.

"Let's not talk about work today, let's not talk about those unhappy things. Let's have fun. After we drink, let's go sing karaoke."
