In front of the staff, Liu Zhongze slapped Oguri Shun hard across the face, the force of which knocked Oguri Shun to the ground.

"I don't know if you've been brainwashed by those shonen dramas, thinking you're some high and mighty Genji Takiya? You'd better face reality. If you dare to smear China again, I'll slap your mouth shut!"

Liu Zhongze revealed his true side in Japan: ruthless and domineering!

Shun Oguri's mouth was bulging, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out a pool of blood and a tooth. He twitched his lips and finally didn't dare to say anything.

At this moment, Lee Jong-suk and Ma Dong-seok, who had left, walked over, looking at the center of the commotion with suspicion. One of them whispered to a Siamese actress in a foreign language, "Baby, what happened here?"

The Siamese actress, with seductive eyes, smiled and said, "I didn't know. When I arrived, I saw Chinese people beating up Japanese people."

Lee Jong-suk and Ma Dong-seok exchanged a glance, thanked the Siamese actress, and muttered to themselves, "Are they hitting on a Japanese person? I should have known better than to pursue Director Wen."

Ma Dong-seok sneered: "The Japanese do deserve to be beaten, but the Chinese aren't any better."

In any entertainment industry, you can only gain a friendly attitude from those who have a close connection with your own interests.

"Mr. Liu, now that you've vented your anger, please don't block the way here. Asia Film Entertainment is a very reputable organization. We will assist Mr. Oguri Shun if he wishes to pursue legal action. Please leave now."

Even now, Jesse treats Liu Zhongze very well.

It seems like a way to avoid offending either side, but in reality it's biased towards Liu Zhongze, simply because he's appreciated by director Wen Ziren, which is enough to protect him from this trouble.

Liu Zhongze pulled Zhao Dekai along and said, "Let's go, Brother Zhao, we've done what we needed to do."

After venting his anger, Zhao Dekai followed Liu Zhongze out of the backstage area.

Just as they were about to leave the venue, Liu Zhongze and Tian Xiwei bumped into each other. Tian Xiwei smiled dismissively, didn't even look at him, and turned to walk towards the backstage area.

When Tian Xiwei tried to find director Wen Ziren here, the people who had gathered here had already dispersed, leaving only a somewhat down-on-his-luck Lin Youyu.

"Youyu, what's wrong?"

"Xiwei, I want to tell you something."

"Okay, go ahead." Tian Xiwei stood beside Lin Youyu, her eyes still searching for Director Wen.

The assistants accompanying the two watched from a distance. The size of their teams far exceeded that of any celebrity in other countries. Even Lee Jong-suk and Ma Dong-seok did not have such a big presence.

It's like everyone else is a director or actor, but in the Chinese entertainment industry, they're just celebrities, high and mighty figures.

"Actually, Liu Zhongze is right. I work for Jiujiang Film and Television Company."

Tian Xiwei's expression immediately changed, but Lin Youyu had already started to say the next thing.

"From the first moment I saw you, I liked you so much. I was so afraid that you would ignore me, so I could only hide my identity and date you."

The more I like you, the more afraid I am of revealing my identity.

"But after seeing Liu Zhongze appear, I realized that what I was doing was wrong, and it would only make you sad. Now I want to tell you everything, and I don't want to keep it to myself anymore."

Lin Youyu stared at Tian Xiwei's expression. There wasn't much love in either of their eyes; instead, there was more of a complex mix of interests and thoughts.

"Actually, I am an artist with Jiujiang Film and Television Company, and also Jenny Lin's nephew."

But after Lin Youyu finished speaking, Tian Xiwei's expression changed noticeably, with greed in her eyes outweighing disgust.

Soon, the woman's eyes reddened, and she said in a sweet voice, "I didn't realize you've been working so hard. I love you for who you are, nothing else matters."

Jenny Lin's nephew? In other words, Jiang Minghui, the director of Lantai TV, is Lin Youyu's uncle?

Doesn't that mean that the unpleasantness between her team and Jiujiang Film and Television Company could be easily resolved through Lin Youyu's connections, and that she could even freely interact with Hunan TV and Zhejiang TV from then on?

For celebrities like them, Hunan TV is a paradise. They are packaged by various film and television companies under Hunan TV and then spread through Hunan TV's large platform.

But this doesn't mean they're envious of Zhejiang TV's resources. Even some of their less popular variety shows have been airing for quite some time now.

With these resources, Tian Xiwei could quickly reach the peak of her career again and gain popularity from both Hunan TV and Zhejiang TV!

"Baby, there's one more thing."

Lin Youyu looked at Tian Xiwei, but her mind was filled with her aunt Jenny Lin's words: "This Liu Zhongze is about to cause a stir in the entertainment industry. We can't afford to offend him. We should withdraw all the negative information about him and sincerely apologize."

Lin Youyu asked incredulously, "Auntie, what about my relationship with Tian Xiwei?"

"It's just a rumor. You obviously won't use that kind of attention for publicity, so what's the point?" Jenny Lin calmly stared into Lin Youyu's eyes and said, "You're still young and you value relationships a lot, but the entertainment industry isn't a place for sentimentality."

The stories in Jenny Lin's eyes seem to be more numerous than the rumors Lin Youyu knows.

When Lin Youyu came to his senses, Tian Xiwei was already nestled in his arms, nodding gently.

A man and a woman get together because of mutual attraction, but eventually forget their initial feelings because of self-interest, and now they are more calculating towards each other.

Lin Youyu was thinking about how to squeeze every last drop of traffic from Tian Xiwei and convert it into his own, or how to ignite a certain topic and seize the opportunity.

Tian Xiwei was thinking about the resources of Zhejiang TV and the restrictions imposed on her team by Jiujiang Film and Television Company.

After causing trouble at the party, Zhao Dekai and Liu Zhongze returned to China overnight. The rest of the staff only received a text message from Zhao Dekai when he landed in China.

After briefly explaining the situation, Zhao Dekai's team members also purchased tickets to return to China one after another.

When he landed, Zhao Dekai was still excitedly scrolling through news about the scholar's military review.

However, once he arrived in China, news about his "scholar-turned-soldiers" incident was hidden, and even the pirated versions he posted were reported by malicious individuals, who almost traced his team through the internet.

Zhao Dekai frowned and said, "Brother, fame brings trouble. I didn't expect that the film would become a hit only 28 hours ago, and people would already be jealous of it."

Zhao Dekai took out a card and handed it to Liu Zhongze, saying, "This was originally my retirement money, but now it's all yours. Consider it an advance payment of your dividends. If it's not enough, I'll make up the difference later. I'm busy dealing with pirated copies and things in China, so I probably won't have much time to contact you later."

Liu Zhongze pushed the card over and said, "It's okay, Brother Zhao, you can use it first. Just in case you don't have money for food later. You can transfer it to me when the dividends come in."

"Alright, bro, I won't stand on ceremony anymore. Goodbye."

"Yes, have a safe trip."
