Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 378 A mess
"Don't mention it, it's a complete mess." Xiaoqing smoked a cigarette, looking helpless and depressed.

"I've also sent everyone out, but there's no sign of money."

Gao Dongxu smiled faintly, his eyes gleaming with a strange light. He first said to Xiaoxue and Gu Shengnan beside him, "You two go have fun for a while. Erpang, Fugui, follow and watch out. Don't let anyone take advantage of you."

Xiaoxue hit Gao Dongxu coquettishly, but still walked excitedly towards the crowded dance floor with Gu Shengnan, followed closely by Erpang and Fugui.

On the DJ booth, a DJ wearing a black hat was spinning discs frantically, his fingers sliding rapidly on the mixer. The rhythm of the music was getting faster and faster, as if to completely tear everyone's sanity apart.

The crowd in the dance floor seemed to be controlled by some invisible force, swaying wildly to the beat, as if at this moment, all their worries were thrown away.

"What's Huang Youfa's reaction?" Gao Dongxu asked after only two people were left in the box.

"What can I do? They keep barking about being incompetent all day long. They're putting pressure on me and Lao Gui to increase our manpower to find the money and to keep a close eye on the people running the underground banks.

In fact, we don't need to keep an eye on them now. The uncles have almost caught all the people from the underground banks. Moreover, the group of people who engage in telecom fraud have also sent people to ask for explanations from the people from the underground banks.

In short, it is a mixed bag now, and the 14 billion in cash is like a huge magnet, attracting countless greedy eyes.

Rumors abounded about the whereabouts of the money. Some said it was embezzled by members of an underground bank, others said it was intercepted, and some even said it had already been shipped out.

"Anyway, everyone has ulterior motives, their eyes filled with greed and calculation. Honestly, not all of my men are reliable," Xiaoqing said, frowning with emotion.

In the center of this chaos, the 14 billion in cash seemed like a ghost, omnipresent yet nowhere to be found. Like a sharp blade, it shattered the city's tranquility and tore apart all balance.

Everyone wants to find it, but is afraid of being swallowed by it. Greed, betrayal, conspiracy, and violence are intertwined in this pursuit into a giant web that entraps everyone.

"That's normal. Money is a powerful asset, especially 14 billion. Anyone would be jealous," Gao Dongxu said with a smile. "However, it's impossible for so much money to disappear out of thin air. Transporting it is a problem, and it's not something that can be accomplished by one or two people. There shouldn't be any trace at all."

"Who says it isn't? There's absolutely no clue where the person or the car are. So everyone's focused on the usually inconspicuous abandoned warehouse. Underground garages and even some remote houses have become targets of the search..." Xiaoqing also nodded and said, "I think it was those underground bankers who stole the money. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense."

"If there's no clue at all, then this is the only explanation," Gao Dongxu said, agreeing with Xiaoqing's opinion. He also reminded her, "Don't focus all your attention on the 14 billion. The key is Huang Youfa. You must keep an eye on him."

"Understood - don't worry, boss, I will keep a close eye on him." Xiaoqing said with a sharp look in his eyes.

"No wonder you wear sunglasses all day long. Are you worried that he will notice your hateful look?" Gao Dongxu said to Xiaoqing.

"Yes, every time I see Huang Youfa, I want to kill him!" Xiaoqing's eyes were a little red, and her face was fierce and ferocious.

Gao Dongxu frowned slightly. It had to be said that Geng Xiaoqing, who grew up in an extreme environment, was too paranoid and vicious, with hostility emanating from every pore.

To be honest, this is a double-edged sword. However, Gao Dongxu is confident that he can control this double-edged sword. If this sword really hurts him one day, he will break it without hesitation.

"Don't worry, you can take revenge however you want when the time comes, but now, you have to protect him and fatten him up." Gao Dongxu said lightly.

"understand!"

"Is the money enough?" Gao Dongxu asked Xiaoqing.

"Enough."

"Tell me when you're done. Next time I come to Shanghai, I'll visit your club. Do a good job and don't let me down." Gao Dongxu said.

"Don't worry, boss. I won't let you down." Xiaoqing promised.

"Yeah." Gao Dongxu stood up and pretended to take out two boxes of Panda cigarettes from his pocket. He threw them to Xiaoqing, who quickly reached out to catch them, and said with a smile, "I didn't bring much when I went out today, just two boxes. Take them to fill 13."

Xiaoqing looked at Panda Cigarette with a gleam in her eyes. She quickly smiled and said to Gao Dongxu, "Thank you, boss."

"Okay, let's go dance--" Gao Dongxu waved his hand and walked towards the dance floor with a smile. He soon found Xiaoxue and Gu Shengnan who were protected by Fugui and Erpang in the middle and were twisting their bodies wildly to the rhythm. Gao Dongxu walked forward with a smile, hugged one of them in each hand, and began to twist their bodies.

Gu Shengnan was startled, but after struggling twice, she found that she couldn't get free, so she just accepted it with shame and helplessness.

On the dance floor, the distance between the three people was almost zero, and the sweat glimmered under the lights, as if every drop of it carried the temperature of hope.

. . . . . .

The early morning sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Gu Shengnan slowly opened her sleepy eyes, and her head was buzzing as if it had been hit by a sledgehammer.

She tried to sit up, but her head spun and her stomach churned, as if something was desperately trying to surge up. She covered her mouth, threw back the covers, and stumbled to the bathroom. Kneeling over the toilet, she vomited until her stomach was empty, and then she managed to stand, holding on to the wall. She turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on her cheeks, trying to clear her mind.

While rinsing her mouth, she accidentally looked up at the mirror and was stunned for a moment - the person in the mirror was only wearing NEI clothes!

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her hands unconsciously covered her conscience, her eyes widened, and her pretty face flushed instantly. She lowered her head in panic, checked carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this brief moment of relief was quickly replaced by another emotion—shame and regret flooded my heart like a tide.

She covered her face, and fragments of last night began to resurface in her mind. Although her memory of the nightclub was blank, the scene in the private room was so clear that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She remembered being drunk and acting crazy, and even kissed Gao Dongxu in front of Xiaoxue!

"Oh my god—what on earth have I done..." She murmured softly, her pretty face burning, her voice filled with shame, regret, and helplessness. She really didn't know how to face Xiaoxue and Gao Dongxu.

What made her even more angry and slender was that that bastard Gao Dongxu really took advantage of her a lot last night.

She leaned weakly against the sink, her mind a mess. Last night's indulgence was like a nightmare, and she couldn't escape the embarrassing situation she had caused.

Just when she was feeling ashamed, regretful, conflicted and helpless, there was a knock on the door.

"Shengnan? Are you awake? I'm starving, my stomach feels so uncomfortable..."

Hearing Xiaoxue's weak shouts and the knocking on the door, Gu Shengnan immediately walked out of the bathroom, took out a bathrobe from the closet and put it on. With a red face, she took a deep breath and walked quickly to the door.

"Calm down, calm down. She was also very drunk last night. She may not remember..."

Before opening the door, Gu Shengnan muttered to herself, adjusted her breathing, and then opened the door. She saw Xiaoxue wearing only a black suspender nightgown, and subconsciously looked down at her conscience.

So cute——

"Ahem..." Gu Shengnan couldn't help but think of Xiaoxue's conscience being eaten by a dog, and her face turned even redder.

"What's wrong with you? Your face is so red, do you have a fever?" Xiaoxue looked uncomfortable as if she had a hangover. She frowned at Gu Shengnan and reached out to touch her forehead with concern.

"It's okay, wait a moment, I'll make some ginger and jujube soup right away. It will help you get rid of the hangover quickly--" Gu Shengnan hurriedly smiled and changed the subject.

"Okay, okay, hurry up, I'm almost feeling sick. I will never drink so much again. I don't remember anything after drinking so much. By the way, I'm not drunk, am I?" Xiaoxue followed Gu Shengnan into the kitchen, took out the milk from the refrigerator, opened the lid directly, tilted her head back and drank a few big gulps, then asked herself.

Gu Shengnan, who was preparing ginger and dates, breathed a sigh of relief. Without turning her head, she said, "I'm just like you. I got drunk and don't remember anything."

"Is that so..." Xiaoxue's beautiful eyes flashed with cunning. She put down the milk and said, "Let's wait for him to come back and ask him."

"The boss is out?" Gu Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief again, turned around and asked Xiaoxue.

"Well, I didn't see anyone when I woke up. I just called him and he said he had something to deal with, so he asked us to take care of lunch by ourselves." Xiaoxue said.

"Lunch?" Gu Shengnan was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at the clock in the living room. It was almost 11 o'clock.

"Drinking is such a hassle—"

"Who said it wasn't? It still feels so uncomfortable, but why can't I control myself when I drink..." Xiaoxue also said.

"I'm feeling emotional—" Gu Shengnan said with a wry smile as she turned on the induction cooker to boil water.

"Yes, yes, I just felt the emotion. It was the first time I was so crazy. But, it's quite exciting when I think about it."

"Yeah, it's so exciting..." Gu Shengnan's mouth twitched and she said with a wry smile.

Xiaoxue looked at Gu Shengnan's back with a meaningful smile.

“It’s a pleasure to work with you——”

“It’s a pleasure to work with you——”

In the Greenland Platinum Hotel in QP District, with the help of He Zijian, Gao Dongxu rushed from Beijing to Shanghai in the morning and completed the handover of the company with the cooperation of General Manager Zhang. Brother Liu, who was temporarily in charge of the business, and the head of the company's film and television department spent 20 million to buy "The Pen Fairy", a horror movie that was less than half finished, from several of the original investors of "The Pen Fairy".

After exchanging pleasantries and sending off the film's original investors, He Zijian smiled and said to Gao Dongxu, "Boss, from now on, I'll be following you for a living."
