Huayu97: Starting with Wu Song Fighting the Tiger

Liu Xiang looked at Wang Dapao expressionlessly, her voice not loud, but carrying a chilling murderous aura: "Mr. Wang, when you drink too much, you're prone to losing your composure."

The murderous aura instantly filled the entire private room. Wang Dapao froze in mid-air, his smile instantly freezing. The two bodyguards behind him suddenly sharpened their eyes, took a step forward, and placed their hands on their waists. But when they met Liu Xiang's gaze, they froze as if they had been stared at by a venomous snake, no longer daring to take another step forward.

One of the bodyguards leaned close to Wang Dapao's ear and whispered, "Boss, this kid is a killer. We should be careful."

Wang Dapao broke out in a cold sweat, soaking his shirt. He stared at the broken bowl in Liu Xiang's hand, then at her icy eyes. His throat bobbed, but he couldn't bring himself to utter a single word.

The atmosphere in the private room instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Sun Shupei quickly smoothed things over: "President Wang, Liu Xiang is just a straightforward person, please don't mind her. Come on, let's have another drink!"

Wang Dapao finally came to his senses, chuckled twice, withdrew his hand, picked up his wine glass and took a casual sip, but in his heart he cursed Liu Xiang a thousand times over.

The three girls breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with gratitude and admiration as they looked at Liu Xiang.

Alec Su and Jay Chou were even more excited watching it, thinking to themselves: Brother Liu Xiang is indeed Brother Liu Xiang!

Liu Xiang didn't care about any of that. He looked at Wang Dapao with a clear understanding in his mind.

He understands the rules of the entertainment industry all too well. For an actor to succeed, a partnership with a wealthy patron is essential. Some actresses only get good roles and ultimately become famous because of the support of these patrons.

Wang Dapao is a typical sugar daddy. The reason he's so interested in these three girls is simply because he wants to invest in them, or rather, to keep them as his mistresses.

At this moment, Liu Xiang couldn't help but frown.

He sat there like a guardian deity, blocking all of Wang Dapao's wicked thoughts. But in doing so, didn't he also block the three girls' paths to success?

They're all newcomers now, with no connections or resources. If they can get on Wang Dapao's good side, they might get more roles, more endorsements, and even become an overnight sensation.

But he blocked that path completely.

Liu Xiang felt conflicted, but when he thought of Pighead Wang Dapao's sleazy appearance, he quickly felt relieved!

After the meal, Wang Dapao suggested that the three girls go to sing karaoke, saying it was to "live up the atmosphere," but in reality, he wanted to find a secluded place to take advantage of them.

In Chengde, karaoke bars weren't called KTVs back then; they were called karaoke halls.

The most luxurious one is right next to the Summer Palace Hotel, called "Golden Splendor". It is decorated in a magnificent style, with neon lights hanging at the entrance that flash the four characters "Karaoke", which can be seen from a distance. There are also two hostesses in cheongsams standing at the entrance, with smiles on their faces.

Wang Dapao waved his hand dismissively: "Wait a minute, all your expenses are on me!"

At this moment, all three girls looked troubled, their eyes filled with resistance.

Sun Shupei hesitated, worried that Wang Dapao might cause trouble at the karaoke bar. Wang Dapao, however, seemed to read his mind and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, Director Sun! It's just singing! What, would I eat them?"

Despite saying that, Wang Dapao's eyes unconsciously glanced at the three girls, his little scheme obvious. He was secretly calculating: Once we get rid of that tough nut Liu Xiang, won't he be in charge then?

Wang Dapao walked up to Liu Xiang with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Liu Xiang, you look tired today. Why don't you go back to the set and rest? The girls will like singing, so don't bother with that."

Liu Xiang sneered inwardly. This old bastard thinks he can get rid of him? No way!

A simple, honest smile appeared on his face as he scratched his head and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm not tired! Look at me, I've never been to such a high-class karaoke bar before! I just wanted to join in the fun and share in Mr. Wang's good fortune!"

Wang Dapao's face froze instantly, his lips twitched, but he was inwardly miserable: "This kid is shameless and I can't shake him off. My head really hurts."

He gritted his teeth, unable to lash out on the spot, but could only nod: "Alright! Let's go together! It'll be fun!"

The group arrived at "Golden Splendor" in a grand procession. The private room was decorated in a retro style, with leather sofas, glass coffee tables, a large color TV on the wall, and an old-fashioned karaoke machine next to it, the kind with all buttons. You had to flip through songbooks one by one to select songs. The songbooks were printed with photos of Teresa Teng, Leslie Cheung, and Alan Tam.

The coffee table was covered with beer and snacks, peanuts, melon seeds, fruit candies, and several plates of braised dishes.

As soon as Wang Dapao entered the private room, he went straight to the karaoke machine, picked up the microphone, and sang "Sister, You Go Forward Boldly" with a loud voice. Although he was completely off-key, he sang it with great enthusiasm.

After he finished singing, he handed the microphone to Zhao Wei: "Zhao Wei, sing one! You're so pretty, you must sing beautifully!"

Zhao Wei took the microphone and sang "Little Swallow." Her voice was clear and sweet, making Wang Dapao cheer repeatedly.

Lin Xinru then sang "The Moon Represents My Heart," her gentle voice making listeners feel a warm, tingling sensation.

Fan Binbin sang "Pink Memories" in a sweet, childlike voice, and his expressions were incredibly cute.

After the three girls finished singing, Wang Dapao's eyes shone even brighter, and he became even bolder, fueled by the alcohol. He picked up the microphone again and said he wanted to sing "The Love of the Swimmer" with the three girls.

"Little sister, you sit at the bow of the boat, and brother walks on the shore..." Wang Dapao sang at the top of his lungs, trying to get closer to Zhao Wei as he sang, and even tried to put his hand on Zhao Wei's shoulder.

Liu Xiang, quick as a flash, stepped forward, grabbed a bottle of beer, and with a "pop," twisted the cap open with his bare hands, beer foam gushing out. He handed the beer to Wang Dapao, his voice icy: "Mr. Wang, you sang really well! Have some beer to soothe your throat!"

Wang Dapao's heart skipped a beat when he saw Liu Xiang's hand with bulging veins. He could only awkwardly withdraw his hand, take the beer, and take a sip. The beer dripped down the corner of his mouth, but he didn't dare to wipe it away.

For the rest of the time, Liu Xiang stayed by the three girls' side like a bodyguard. When Wang Dapao wanted to sing a duet with Lin Xinru, Liu Xiang stepped in first and sang "Intimate Lover" with her. His deep, magnetic voice perfectly matched Lin Xinru's gentle tone, drawing applause from everyone in the private room.

When Wang Dapao wanted to dance with Fan Binbin, Liu Xiang stared intently at him, scaring him away. When Wang Dapao wanted to clink glasses with Zhao Wei, Liu Xiang stood in the middle and drank for Zhao Wei.
