Chapter 77 A fit of rage
"Come on, Yifei, let's toast President Wan, President Jiang, and President Shi."
The moment Liu Yifei pushed open the door, she saw everyone inside clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.
Several CEOs were surrounded by beautiful women like Li Bailian, their bodies pressed together, drinking merrily. Fang Long and Li Lianjie talked about interesting stories in the entertainment industry, while Da Wang and Xiao Wang discussed Huayi's IPO and how they needed everyone's strong support.
The place was filled with laughter and a lively, ambiguous atmosphere of merriment.
Mr. Wang spotted Liu Yifei immediately, his voice breaking through the laughter as he introduced her to the three bosses: "She's currently the most beautiful and popular female star in the entertainment industry. From now on, we'll have to rely on your support, bosses."
This implies that Liu Yifei should listen to her and not be so stubborn.
"No problem, no problem. The main thing is that I also really like Yifei, she's excellent! I'll give you another five points on the valuation." President Jiang generously spread out five fingers, with a jade thumb ring on one of them that was particularly eye-catching.
The two kings were very happy to hear this, because a company needs a large amount of capital to go public.
"Yifei, come here and toast the senior executives." Young Master Wang beckoned to her.
Liu Yifei bit her lip slightly, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes. She walked to her seat and said, "President Jiang is joking. I'm just a small star, an ordinary girl. I can't possibly deserve the kindness of the bosses."
“You, Miss Liu, are no ordinary person; you are a lady of high birth. What we admire about you is your refined and aloof temperament, like a lotus flower blooming from the mud, untainted by its surroundings.” President Shi’s gaze swept over her.
The man's laughter and conversation had a somewhat lewd tone, while the other two also wore smiles and their gazes were somewhat intense.
The girls, including Li Bailian, felt both jealous and relieved. They were jealous that Liu Yifei was the center of attention wherever she went, and that her appearance alone raised Huayi's valuation.
Fortunately, these older men were after Liu Yifei.
Who would want to accompany these old men? Isn't it all for the roles, for the sake of surviving in the entertainment industry?
However, they accompanied her quite a bit.
The only difference is that Liu Yifei used to have Chen Jinfei protecting her, but now that Chen Jinfei is struggling to protect himself, she has no choice but to act as she pleases since she has lost her backing.
"Yifei's acting skills are good, and she's very dedicated. Last time she was filming, she was suspended in the air by wires for three hours, and she didn't call for a stop," Hendrik Willem Van Loon said.
"Oh, is it so?"
Mr. Wan feigned surprise and chuckled, "Then we'll have to have a few more drinks with Miss Liu. It's rare to see someone so dedicated and outstanding these days. Huayi should definitely give her more roles; she's a rare talent!"
"Of course!" Mr. Wang nodded in agreement.
"If you executives want to drink, I can keep you company, but please don't talk about work. I don't want any exchange of benefits. I'm happy that you think highly of me and give me roles, but it would be best if it were because of my profession." Liu Yifei was very stubborn and wouldn't budge no matter what they said.
The simple words drew a hint of mockery from those present, but Mr. Wang was still unhappy.
“Of course, we have always admired Ms. Liu’s seriousness. Let’s have a drink.” President Jiang stood up and raised his glass.
President Shi and President Wan also got up and left their seats, gathering around Liu Yifei; they had no choice but to drink with her.
Liu Yifei, however, poured the wine directly into a plate, a move that surprised everyone present.
Then she picked up the bottle next to Fang Long and poured herself another glass, probably because she was afraid they would drug her while she was away.
She took the wine from in front of Hendrik Willem Van Loon because she trusted him and he usually took good care of her.
"Ms. Liu, please be careful." Mr. Shi smiled and moved his cup forward, almost touching her hand.
The others also held up their glasses, watching Liu Yifei's every move. When they saw her tilt her head back, they reached out with their other hands to touch the back of her fair hand—a kind of probing.
"Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and Qin Xuan stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down at everything with a disdainful gaze.
Old Wang was also there, watching the show, and he thought to himself: "A man's anger is for the sake of a woman!"
He had that same passion when he was young!
The sudden turn of events caused everyone present to instinctively stop. Liu Yifei, who hadn't drunk any, turned her head, her cool eyes filled with astonishment.
Young Master Wang angrily rebuked, "What are you doing here?"
"Let me see what you guys are up to," Qin Xuan said arrogantly.
This is deliberately drawing hatred towards themselves, rather than letting it fall on Liu Yifei. If those three bosses were to make a move, Liu Yifei would basically be finished in this industry.
Even if no one can save her, at least they can force Liu Yifei to leave the entertainment industry.
Huayi alone is enough for her to handle. With President Wan, President Shi, and President Jiang all involved, no celebrity can withstand their influence. They have resources, connections, and funds.
He didn't care, since he wasn't in the spotlight. He built his own team and created his own resources, with Lao Wang always backing him up.
"You're incredibly arrogant! Do you know whose dinner party this is? Do you know who they are?" Mr. Wang was furious; he had never seen anyone like this before.
Even the usually good-natured CEO was blushing with anger. This person was clearly here to cause trouble. It wasn't easy for them to get a meeting with these CEOs, since they weren't in Beijing but in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they couldn't come up all the time.
"Of course I know them. I've heard of Wanxiang, Shi, and Jiangnan Chun. They're all household names." Qin Xuan gestured, pointing to each of them.
The three bosses looked calm but somewhat displeased. When had anyone ever dared to speak to them like that and disrupt their dinner party?
Besides, the other party was just a small fry.
"Then you know why you're not leaving?" Little Wang pointed.
"Why should I leave? I also want to have a drink with the three bosses. After all, my new company is in dire need of investment. You might want to consider it."
Qin Xuan approached, took the wine glass from Liu Yifei's hand, clinked it against President Jiang's glass, and looked directly at him.
This is a bit of a prank, but that's exactly what he wanted to do.
Fang Long, Li Lianjie, Li Bailian, and the others present were a little confused. Was this young man too bold? Even if he wanted to invest, he didn't have to do it this way. Wasn't he just offending people?
Liu Yifei felt much more relaxed. With this man's interference, she no longer had to face these people's aggressive behavior.
But she couldn't understand what Qin Xuan was trying to do; normally, this man wasn't like this.
"I have no interest in investing, and even less interest in drinking with you!" President Jiang snorted coldly, slamming his glass down on the table, his dissatisfaction no longer concealed.
Qin Xuan clinked glasses with President Shi's again, "Then, President Shi, let's have a drink."
Without saying a word, President Shi placed the cup directly on the table with a cold expression.
Just as Qin Xuan was about to touch President Wan's cup, President Wan wisely put it down himself. He had no liking for this young man and only saw arrogance and haughtiness in him.
"Mr. Wang, is this the kind of person you trained?" Mr. Wan directly targeted Mr. Wang.
“Mr. Wan, you’re wrong about that. He’s neither my son nor a relative of mine. How can you say that I trained him? We’re just business partners. What he does is none of my business.” Old Mr. Wang spoke slowly and clearly.
But only he knows what's going on here.
