Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 468 Her voice isn't sweet either.
Lin Zhiling was filled with doubt and uncertainty. Was this guy faking it, or was he really scared?

In such a panic, she almost tripped over the rope on the ground, and her clothes were crumpled up and stuffed into her suitcase. She kept forgetting things; she really looked terrified.

Was it an act? Didn't people in Hong Kong and Taiwan say that this person is okay as a director, but a terrible actor with rubbish acting skills?

"Sister Zhiling, I'm leaving now. Do you want to come with me?" Liu Jing finally finished packing under Lin Zhiling's scrutinizing gaze.

“I can’t leave. He’s definitely waiting for me nearby.” Lin Zhiling shook her head, then sighed. “You should leave. He knows I didn’t satisfy you, and he definitely won’t let me go.”

"Tell him I'm very satisfied." Liu Jing chuckled. Qianqian always said Liu Shishi was a green tea b*tch, but my little lion is really not a green tea b*tch. Yang Mi is also a bit lacking. This one is the true originator of the green tea b*tch.

“You don’t have much contact with him, so you don’t know his methods. I can’t afford to offend him, and neither can anyone I know. If I dare not do as he says, he could send me to hell tomorrow. I’m different from Jia Jingwen. Jia Jingwen knows a lot about him, and he doesn’t dare to offend her too much.” Lin Zhiling bit her lip, looking pitiful.

"Then you wait for him here. Taiwan is too dangerous. I need to find a safe place to hide." Liu Jing pulled his suitcase, opened the door, and walked out.

He moved all the security personnel to the cinema area, and didn't take this area seriously. Valuables wouldn't be left in the hotel.

The quality of this batch of security personnel is not as good as the previous batch.

Liu Jing muttered to himself, "Should I try to invest in a security company? It's too dangerous outside."

Also, should we go find Lao Wu in a while and tell him that valuable items worth tens of millions of yuan have been stolen from the house?

Lin Zhiling was really anxious now, thinking that Liu Jing was just using a trick, but little did she know that he was really leaving.

"and many more……"

Before Liu Jing could wait, the sound of a suitcase being pulled echoed down the corridor.

Like the old man fishing, only those willing will take the bait. If the other party doesn't chase after him, Liu Jing plans to go to the woman in blue to exercise his rights as a creditor.

At the banquet, Zeng Li ignored his cries for help and even dared to threaten him twice. He would collect the debt twice first, and he didn't intend to count it as a separate incident.

"and many more……"

Da da da……

The sound of high heels hitting the ground was like raindrops, and Lin Zhiling ran out in a panic.

She dared not let Liu Jingzhen leave. Not only would she fail to complete Producer Wu's task, but she would also offend Director Liu, pleasing neither side.

She went to so much trouble to devise these little schemes, all with the ultimate goal of pleasing both sides.

"Sister Zhiling, if there were a high heel race, you would definitely win first place."

Liu Jing slowed down; if the other party caught up, that would be the second option.

Lin Zhiling was furious. "Do you think I didn't run away? I really am number one."

She didn't know much about Liu Jing, only from the media and the internet.

My understanding of him largely comes from Producer Wu's indoctrination: simple-minded, self-righteous, arrogant, eccentric, childish, petty, and in general, a somewhat capable spoiled rich kid.

This isn't some capable spoiled brat; he's a cunning little fox. That old geezer is wicked. If I'd known he was like this, I would have used a different tactic. I wouldn't have messed things up and ended up in this predicament.

"Are you going to another hotel?" Lin Zhiling asked, slightly out of breath. Even as a champion in high heels, she almost couldn't keep up with Liu Jing on foot.

"Hotels aren't safe, I'll stay at Sister Jingwen's place for the night," Liu Jing replied.

"How about... how about you come to my place?" Lin Zhiling hesitated for a moment. If they went to the hotel, she could go with them. But if they went to Jia Jingwen's place, she definitely wouldn't have a chance.

"This isn't a good idea. A man and a woman alone together, if people find out, they'll gossip about it," Liu Jing hesitated.

"It's alright, I believe you." Lin Zhiling took a deep breath. Hong Kong and Taiwan tabloids are always full of your scandals—Liu Yifei today, Yang Mi tomorrow. Fan Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Shishi—which one hasn't been in the newspapers with you, and more than once?

If you go to Alyssa Chia's place, wouldn't you be a man and a woman alone together? Aren't there enough rumors about you two? Besides, she's not divorced yet. If you sleep at her place, people will gossip about you.

"But I don't trust you. I've heard that honey traps are common around here. If I go to your place, Wu Dun will send people to ambush me. I don't care, but you, the model, will be trapped like a turtle in a jar." Liu Jing said leisurely, feeling quite pleased with himself for flirting with the model in the middle of the night.

Lin Zhiling stumbled. "Damn brat, you're the turtle, you little bastard!"

"Phew! I can't afford to offend him, and I can't afford to offend you either. Come with me, my car's over here. If you're a coward, don't follow me."

Lin Zhiling couldn't take it anymore. She realized her plan had been foiled. This guy knew everything; he was definitely just teasing her.

"If you had said so earlier, both of our kids would have used it." Liu Jing muttered to himself, silently following behind Lin Zhiling.

He definitely wouldn't dare go to Wu Dun's house. But he could stay overnight at the famous model's house.

Just as I got into the car, Zhang Min called.

Several people have already called, and Liu Jing texted to let her know he was safe, but Zhang Min is clearly still worried.

Liu Jing described the situation to Lin Zhiling.

Zhang Min snorted lightly, "Originally, I was going to let this go because of our past relationship. But since that's the case, the day 'The Treasure Hunter' ends will also be the day he goes bankrupt."

"Okay!" Liu Jing didn't say much, while Lin Zhiling stood to the side.

Who told him to be so petty? Why did you have to provoke me? Consider the model as interest for now, we'll settle the principal later.

"It's a pity he's not in mainland China, otherwise his situation wouldn't be as simple as just retirement," Zhang Min said regretfully.

"When a tiger is down on its luck, all sorts of monsters and demons will naturally emerge. Sending him in would actually be protecting him."

"Be careful." Zhang Min gave a soft hum, understanding the situation on Liu Jing's side.

"What skills do I have that you don't trust?"

"I mean, when you're pricking the bark, be careful about hygiene and safety."

"..."

Liu Jing remained silent for a long time. Min Jie had also been corrupted by Gao Yuanyuan. What should we do?

Lin Zhiling is neither Qin Lan nor Jia Jingwen. Since she's offered herself up, Liu Jing has no intention of letting her go.

"Is that Liu Yifei's phone call?" Lin Zhiling broke the silence.

"Ah."

"It seems she's filming abroad."

"Ah."

"I heard your next film is about to start shooting."

"Ah."

The conversation had run its course. Lin Zhiling had a way of continuing, but the other person lay down in the back seat and closed their eyes.

Half an hour later, the two had just entered the house when the clothes they had just put on were gone again.

It was straightforward and efficient, with no unnecessary communication or emotional build-up.

Liu Jing didn't bother to examine the room's decor; he only knew that the carpet was quite soft, the sofa was bouncy, and the dining table was a bit cold.

He didn't visit her bedroom; it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together in a room, as it involved the girl's privacy.

After what seemed like an eternity, someone finally spoke.

"That does not work."

"Isn't Sister Lin Chi-ling a supermodel?"

"I'm a model, not a gymnast."

"Oh, Sister Zhiling's voice isn't sweet at all. So she can speak normally."

"you……"

Lin Zhiling was furious, but Liu Jing's blank expression and melancholy eyes were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.

This isn't a chat; it's extreme sports, which is a bit scary.

This time she truly surrendered and confessed honestly, "Everything before was true. He was worried that you would manipulate the box office of 'The Treasure Hunter,' and he wanted me to sleep with you to find a way to satisfy you. I did refuse; I couldn't just do whatever he said."

"Oh!" Liu Jing remained noncommittal.

How do you manage to exercise and have a calm conversation at the same time?

Lin Zhiling bit her lip and continued to explain, "He threatened me that if 'The Treasure Hunter' flopped at the box office, I could forget about working in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry. I didn't dare offend him, and I didn't want 'The Treasure Hunter' to fail, so I could only agree to sleep with you. He was worried and wanted to drug me, fearing that I would agree verbally and then run away. Of course, I refused; human nature can't withstand the test. Who knows if I would really benefit that beast after I passed out? I suggested tying you up to gain your sympathy. After taking good care of you, I would bring up 'The Treasure Hunter' again and persuade you. And...and..."

"Oh."

"And he asked me to find a way to take a picture, in case you change your mind."

"Oh." "I want to please both sides. I want to get on your good side, and I also want to gain favor with Wu Dun."

"Oh."

"I swear, this time it's for real. And there were absolutely no photos taken. If these were taken and leaked, you might get some gossip, but I'd just quit the entertainment industry."

"is it?"

Lin Zhiling breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally managed to say two words; the pressure of saying just one word was immense. If she could say two words, she could say twenty, and then even more.

"Also, the fact that he tied me up in your room was also a warning to you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jing finally showed an expression. "I'm curious, how do you plan to convince me?"

"Can we take a shower first? I'll explain everything to you properly, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

"it is good!"

Lin Chih-ling dares to make such bold claims, so he must have real ability.

Liu Jing had to admit that this was a master. The exceptional service gave him an unparalleled experience, one he couldn't have with anyone else.

Besides, it's not his own car, so he can drive recklessly, speeding, crossing lines, parking illegally, not using the motor vehicle lane, and committing all sorts of traffic violations, since he doesn't have to pay the fines himself.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied."

"About 'The Treasure Hunter'?"

"Go to sleep! We'll continue with Ciling first thing tomorrow morning."

Lin Zhiling sighed. Since she couldn't please both sides, she could only bet on one.

The next morning, Liu Jing tried it out again and ran off. Achievement accomplished, no need to linger.

He didn't care how many days the other person rested at home or how they dealt with Wu Dun.

I ate the candy.

The shells were also left behind.

I'm heading back to the mainland this afternoon, so I don't have time for the US.

Liu Jing took a taxi back to Xiao Dao's place. He bought longan and red date porridge, millet and pumpkin porridge, and some tea eggs nearby. He also bought stewed mutton especially for Xiao Dao before carrying the bags back home.

"morning!"

Zeng Li was practicing Tai Chi when she saw Liu Jing, but her emotions didn't waver at all.

She didn't ask what happened last night, but she could probably guess. After all, she knew what kind of person Wu Dun was. Since he told her to leave, it must be unsafe over there.

"Good morning! Your movements are quite standard. When did you learn this?" Liu Jing was quite surprised. This person was only in his thirties and had already started practicing Tai Chi. Considering that he had become a vegetarian a few years ago, it seemed to make sense.

"today."

"Today?" Liu Jing's voice rose eight octaves, a truly perfunctory answer.

“Zhou Xun drank too much last night. When she woke up this morning, she was half dead, barely clinging to life. She said that in the past, if she drank too much, she could still feel better the next day. But as she gets older, her body can't keep up. She's been saying she wants to quit drinking and start exercising. I'm two years younger than her, so I think I should start as soon as possible.” Zeng Li looked dejected. She was eleven years older than Xiao Dao and had already witnessed Xiao Dao's energy the day before yesterday.

"Are you kidding me? You're already like this after just learning today." Liu Jing was skeptical. He didn't believe Zeng Li was a beginner, nor did he believe Zhou Xun could quit drinking.

"I was surprised too. Suddenly I realized that I seem to have a talent for martial arts." Zeng Li was also puzzled. She had lived for thirty-three years and this was the first time she had discovered it. If she had known she had this talent, why did she bother learning Peking Opera back then? She could have just become a female martial arts performer.

Female warrior roles are rare; they might have become famous much earlier.

"Want to spar?" Liu Jing realized that the Zeng Li in front of him was not the Zeng Li of the past; he had upgraded her.

He watched the other person's slow, deliberate movements. Although they were standard, they lacked spirit, and he felt an itch to try them himself.

He has trained Xixi, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Jing Tian, ​​and Shu Chang, and the results are amazing.

Bai Bing is too lazy. Her favorite exercise is passive exercise, usually doing push-ups one day and push-ups the next.

He guarded this treasure trove, but learned nothing except some yoga poses.

"If you want to beat me up, just say so. No need to beat around the bush." ​​Zeng Li's moves were all messed up. How stupid of me to spar with you.

Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Xiaodao leaned against the door frame, rubbing his stomach, and said in a stiff tone, "Good morning, Director."

I waited all night for brown sugar water, only to be met with silence. I dreamt of Liu Jing brewing brown sugar water all night, but when I woke up, it was ice cold. Forget brown sugar water, there wasn't even a sip of hot soup.

Although the house is maintained, no one lives there. Tang Wei went out to buy breakfast early this morning with several security guards, and they haven't returned yet.

Her stomach pain had subsided, but upon seeing Liu Jing, for some reason, her lower abdomen began to ache again.

"Xiao Dao, I bought you some longan and red date porridge, and a bowl of stewed mutton. Eat it while it's hot." Liu Jing handed the bag to Xiao Dao, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards Zeng Li.

"What are you doing?" Zeng Li asked warily, quickly stopping her attack and running away.

"Sister Zeng Li, he's very powerful, you can't escape him." Xiao Dao carried breakfast, her face full of smiles, when suddenly her stomach pain disappeared.

"Come on," Liu Jing said, blocking Zeng Li's path.

Zhao Xiaodao chuckled. "That's how Pigsy stumbled upon a heavenly marriage, isn't it?"

Zeng Li sighed helplessly, then suddenly her nose twitched; the scent of perfume was overwhelming. She was certain that this wasn't hers, nor Zhao Xiaodao's.

"You really did have something going on with Jia Jingwen." Zeng Li said with disdain, her expression full of control.

"..." Liu Jing was dumbfounded. How was he supposed to explain this? Did someone else have been there last night?

"Watch out..." Zeng Li roared and threw a punch at Liu Jing's chest, but it was grabbed by his opponent.

"Hey! I'm teaching you Tai Chi, not fighting..."

A dozen minutes later, Tang Wei and two female security guards entered the hospital, thinking they had wandered into the wrong film set.

Zhou Xun, who was half-dead, came back to life and moved a chair to sit at the doorway, eating sunflower seeds.

Zhao Xiaodao squatted on the ground, holding a bowl of porridge in his hands, his posture very down-to-earth.

The courtyard was a mess, with more than a dozen security guards lying haphazardly, as if they had been trampled on hundreds of times.

"Phew! That scared me to death. I thought Wu Dun had called." Tang Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart had been in her throat all night and into this morning. With the director away, she was the team leader and hadn't slept a wink. Security personnel worked in two shifts, taking turns patrolling.

"Young Master Jing, I used to think it was just a rumor, but now I'm convinced." The captain gave a thumbs up.

Zhou Xun, always eager for a good show, saw that Zeng Li was no match for him and ordered his security personnel to join the fray.

The security personnel had long been curious about Jing Shao's skills. They exchanged glances and then actually went for it.

"Let's eat, let's eat..."

Tang Wei called out, and breakfast began.

"Director, yesterday's opening day box office in Taiwan was NT$987 million, just shy of breaking NT$10 million. Today should be no problem. Yesterday's box office in mainland China broke NT$10 million, and we expect it to break NT$500 million around the 28th..."

Tang Wei is a workaholic; she was eating an egg pancake while reporting on yesterday's box office results.

No one asked what happened last night; it was as if nothing had happened.

The shrill ringtone sounded; Zhou Xun's phone had rung. She drowned her sorrows in alcohol, finally emerging from the shadow of her heartbreak.

"Xun, aren't you at the hotel?" Chen Kun's voice came from the other end of the phone, which was on speakerphone.

"Are you at the hotel?" Zhou Xun had drunk too much last night and only dared to have some porridge this morning. He had just swallowed a mouthful.

Everyone looked at Liu Jing. "Director, didn't you inform Chen Kun last night?"
Liu Jing was also dumbfounded. Didn't you notify them?
"I need to take this call..." Liu Jing said, vaguely hearing Zhou Xun say, "We're having breakfast outside. See you at the airport."

Our flight is at 3:30 PM, and it's only 9:30 AM now. Tell Chen Kun to meet us at the airport. Is this breakfast or lunch?

Bai Bing's call left him even more confused. "Boss, Ms. Li just contacted me and asked you to go to South Korea on the 28th. Mr. Lei wants to visit Samsung Electronics, and Ms. Li wants you to accompany him."

"Why hasn't she contacted me? Filming for 'The Night the Comet Came' has only been going on for a few days, and now she wants me to go?"

Liu Jing has a plan; he will definitely go to South Korea, but only after filming for "The Night the Comet Came" is completed.

The film was prepared by Gao Yuanyuan and started filming on November 28. It is expected to wrap up in mid-December, making the filming period very short.

"President Li said that the movie is a small matter, while what President Lei is doing is a big matter. President Li also said that it is not convenient to contact you right now, and she doesn't know what you're up to. President Li also said that if it's convenient for you, please call her back."

Bai Bing sighed softly. Liu Yifei was not in the country, and with no one to keep her in check, the boss seemed to be letting himself go.
