After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future
Chapter 629: Cheating
Chapter 629: Cheating
"Beautiful lady, let's get to know each other again. I'm Meng Changkun from Good Dream Films."
Lu Liang smiled, his eyes crinkling. Traveling the martial world, one needs to create a few alternate accounts for protection.
Old Meng's name is quite good; after all, he's been a local bigwig in Shanghai for decades and has acquaintances in all walks of life.
"You know General Manager Wu?" Tian Xi was suddenly stunned, unable to tell whether Lu Liang was a fake or genuine.
Good Dream Pictures is not well-known in the industry, but it is also quite famous because it is a subsidiary of Tianxing Investment.
Good Dream Film & Television is involved in all of Tianxing's film and television investments, and it is rumored that the CEO is friends with Lu Liang.
If it's Good Dream Films, then Lu Liang's claim of investing in the richest man, Wolf Warrior Medicine God, makes sense.
“Wu Tianzheng? We’re from the same company, how could I not know him?” Lu Liang said with a smile.
Tian Xi snapped out of her daze and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Meng, I just thought you were..."
She was too embarrassed to continue, but Lu Liang smiled and said it for her: "Just some stinky guy trying to hit on you?"
"That's not true, absolutely not."
Tian Xi looked embarrassed. Remembering that she was still wearing a mask and sunglasses, which seemed impolite, she quickly took them off.
She has a pair of bright and clear eyes that seem to hold glittering stars, fair skin like snow, and delicate features, like a blooming flower.
"Ahem, sorry, I've caught a bit of a cold lately." Lu Liang showed a hint of appreciation, but used his cough as an excuse not to take off his mask for the time being.
"The weather this year is unusually hot. Many of my friends have caught heatstroke. Mr. Meng, please take good care of your health."
Upon learning that Meng Changkun worked for Good Dream Films, Tian Xi was very considerate and took the initiative to help him find excuses.
The entertainment industry places great importance on personal connections, and she didn't expect Meng Changkun to be able to help her out after just meeting her.
She just hoped to make herself familiar to the other party, in case she had the opportunity to audition for Good Dream Films someday.
Meng Changkun also happened to see that having met someone once before was always an advantage over having met a complete stranger.
"It's nothing serious, I'm almost better now, just a little cough left."
Lu Liang coughed a few times as if to make a show of it, then suddenly asked, "Xiao Tian, what are you going to Tokyo for?"
“I had a brand endorsement, and I was just sitting around doing nothing, so the company asked me to go and give it a try,” Tian Xi said truthfully.
"That's pretty good. You've already landed a Japanese endorsement before even debuting." Lu Liang exclaimed in surprise.
"It's not really a Japanese product, but you could say it is. It's registered in Tokyo, manufactured in Japan, and then packaged as an imported product for sale."
Tian Xi explained that she was in a flurry of activity, and there was a word that perfectly described this approach, but she just couldn't think of one.
"Exported to the domestic market." Lu Liang couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Realizing that Meng Changkun was not old and easy to talk to, Tian Xi, being young and fearless, asked curiously, "Mr. Meng, what are you going to Tokyo for?"
"Let's talk about some cooperation with the company over there."
Hearing this, Tian Xi mustered her courage: "President Meng, is it about film and television related collaborations?"
Lu Liang shook his head: "No, it's just that I'm doing a small business with some friends over there."
"Oh~" Tian Xi suddenly deflated.
Lu Liang chuckled and said, "What? Disappointed?"
"Of course! I thought I'd have a chance to recommend myself." Tian Xi rested her chin on her hands, looking wistful.
She's already 21 years old, and whether she can debut is still unknown.
"You can definitely do it." Lu Liang said earnestly.
"Could it be that President Meng sees that I have the makings of a superstar?" Tian Xi's eyes lit up.
Lu Liang examined him carefully from head to toe: "There should be a bit."
"Tell me, tell me, and that's it. I'll never tell anyone else."
Tian Xi suddenly took off her shoes, sat cross-legged, and her face was full of excitement: "I love hearing people praise me the most. You don't know, I have more than 20,000 followers on Weibo. I reply to almost every comment and message. It's a pity that 20,000 of them were bought on Taobao."
Lu Liang's smile faded, and he said seriously, "You are very beautiful, and you have a great figure too."
"Hmm, what next?"
"Most importantly, he doesn't seem particularly smart, so he'll become famous sooner or later."
"???" Tian Xi fumed, her cheeks puffed out. "Are you praising me or insulting me?"
"I'm praising you."
"Do not believe."
The two stared at each other, Lu Liang remaining silent. Tian Xi couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you explain?"
Normally, if she says she doesn't believe it, the guy she's chatting with will go to great lengths to convince her.
"Because there's nothing to explain." Lu Liang chuckled, putting on his eye mask. "I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap."
As darkness fell, a cold snort reached her ears, accompanied by Tian Xi's muttered words: "I need to take a nap too."
The cabin fell silent suddenly, and an hour later, the plane landed safely at Haneda Airport.
Seeing that Lu Liang was about to leave, Tian Xi quickly called out, "President Meng, how about leaving a VIP account? I'd love to take care of you in the future."
"Okay, scan me then."
"Isn't it M?"
Tian Xi frowned, still wondering why Meng Changkun's WeChat nickname was [L]. But when she looked up, she realized he was already far away. Furious, she stomped her foot, her face contorted with rage: "What's with the arrogance? Once I'm famous, I won't accept any projects from Good Dream. Humph, that's how willful I am."
Shortly after, Tian Xi retrieved her luggage from the conveyor belt and saw her agent, Sister Liu, at the arrival gate. She quickly ran over to her.
Sister Liu said impatiently, "You're dawdling over getting off the plane. Don't you know time is money?"
"Sister Liu, I'm sorry, something came up and I was held up." Tian Xi said with a smile, quickly apologizing.
"What could you possibly have to do?" Sister Liu said coldly, suddenly launching an attack, intending to give the other party a hard time.
A sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned, and a newcomer won't be taught a lesson if they're not given a chance to shine. Otherwise, people will take advantage of them when they become famous.
The company's consistent approach to training new talent is to suppress them for a long time before they become famous, including but not limited to belittling their character, so as to prevent them from forgetting their roots after they become famous.
Tian Xi was also stubborn. She knew she was wrong and sincerely apologized, but the other party didn't appreciate it. She wouldn't be shameless and keep trying to appease him. She said directly, "I just met President Meng of Good Dream Films on the plane."
"Good Dream Films? And President Meng?"
After thinking it over carefully, Sister Liu couldn't help but sneer, "With your IQ, you've probably been scammed and you're still helping the person count the money."
She had dealt with Wu Tianzheng a few times and knew that there were only a few people in Haomeng Film and Television who could be called general managers, but none of them had the surname Meng.
Tian Xi's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief: "Is Meng Changkun lying to me? But why does he know so much about me?"
Sister Liu was stunned again, and anxiously asked, "You said you met Fatty Meng from Kunqian Trading on the plane?"
"A fat guy? But he's not fat at all~"
Tian Xi looked completely bewildered and utterly confused.
The guy on the plane was just muscular, not fat at all.
Sister Liu fell into thought, her eyes growing brighter and brighter: "So, according to you, someone is using Fatty Meng's name to swindle and deceive people?"
She realized this was an opportunity to get to know Meng Changkun, so she quickly contacted her relatives and friends to get Meng Changkun's phone number.
"Mr. Meng, hello. I am Xiao Liu from Jia Hui Media. Yes, yes, we have met before."
Sister Liu's face was all smiles, her smile obsequious.
"Xiaotian is a new employee of our company. Please forgive her if she said anything wrong on the plane. I apologize on her behalf."
"Ah~ you didn't take a plane? Then who was that person just now? Why did he say he was President Meng of Kunqian? And that he was friends with President Wu of Haomeng?"
Tian Xi frowned and tugged at Sister Liu's sleeve, hoping she would stop stirring things up. He had only mentioned Meng Changkun of Good Dream Films and hadn't mentioned Kunqian Trading at all.
Unmoved, Sister Liu was filled with righteous indignation and said with great righteousness: "This person is really too despicable. He actually dared to use your name, President Meng, to swindle people. It's only because our Xiao Tian is so naive that she believed his nonsense."
Opportunities are earned through one's own efforts. If she hadn't said that, Fatty Meng certainly wouldn't have pursued the matter further. And if he hadn't pursued it, how could he have accepted her favor?
"Mr. Meng, are you asking what this person's characteristics are?" Sister Liu glared at Tian Xi, her eyes full of threat.
Now we're all in this together. If anyone dares to ruin her plans, she'll be in deep trouble.
Tian Xi didn't want to speak, but Sister Liu stepped on her foot, so she had no choice but to say, "President Meng, I'm Xiao Tian. That person is quite tall and strong, probably about 1.8 meters tall. He looks a lot like Richie Jen, and he has a bit of a southern accent."
"Anything else? Is there nothing else?" Meng Changkun's voice came through the receiver, and you could sense that he was trying his best to control his anger.
Having lived in Shanghai for so many years, this is the first time I've encountered someone daring to use his name to swindle and deceive others. They must be asking for trouble.
Tian Xi felt immense pressure because she sensed that the other person seemed to be a member of the underworld, and if he found out her WeChat ID, that person's fate would probably be grim.
But then a sharp pain shot through the instep again. Sister Liu said menacingly, "Xiao Tian, just say what you have to say. President Meng will stand up for you."
Tian Xi braced herself and told the truth: "Actually, I added him on WeChat. His nickname is L, and his profile picture is a golden bull."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. Sister Liu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Mr. Meng, are you still listening?"
"Well, that's fine, it's not a big deal."
Meng Changkun gave a dry laugh, his voice suddenly becoming very strange, as if he was trying his best to suppress his laughter.
Ms. Liu keenly sensed something and pressed, "Mr. Meng, is he your friend?"
"Go ask him yourself. I'm pretty busy, bye."
Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone,
Sister Liu was completely dumbfounded and utterly bewildered.
Tian Xi seemed to understand and asked in a low voice, "Sister Liu, are President Meng and that person friends?"
"Nine times out of ten."
"Then why won't President Meng tell us?"
"Yes, is it that they refuse to tell you? Or that they dare not tell you?"
Sister Liu's eyes, which had just been dim, suddenly lit up again, and she smiled ingratiatingly: "Xi Xi, quickly think of any other characteristics that person might have?"
Meng Changkun's net worth is at least a billion yuan. He is a well-known local tyrant in Shanghai. Even he doesn't dare to mention that person's name, so that person's background must be even more powerful.
Tian Xi, this newly sprouted sapling, could very well seize this opportunity to become her cash cow, so her attitude would naturally have to change.
"He wore a mask and a hat the whole time. All I know is that he looks a lot like Richie Jen in his eyebrows."
A hint of disgust flashed in Tian Xi's eyes. Just a moment ago, she was a vicious stepmother, but suddenly she turned into a kind and benevolent mother.
But there was also a strange sense of pleasure in my heart, after all, nothing is more pleasant than seeing your enemy grovel.
"You have his WeChat, right? You should chat with him more often when you have time. Having more friends means having more options," Sister Liu said with a smile.
That's all, see you tonight.
