The Queen's Rumored Father

Chapter 141 The Big Spender's Call

Peng Juan was so agitated because she was afraid that Xu Qin would be kidnapped by Xu Yuan.

Don't laugh, Xu Qin is really that naive.

To put it bluntly, she's not very bright and is easily fooled by men.

"The last person to talk to me like that was over there." Xu Yuan tilted his head.

Peng Juan and Xu Qin looked in that direction.

Zeng Kun was leaning on a cane, and half of his face was completely wrapped in white gauze.

I use a cane because one side of my eye is temporarily unusable, which affects my mobility.

The story of Xu Yuan angrily slapping Zeng Kun was circulating within the film crew.

Xu Qin knew, but Peng Juan did not.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have had that attitude just now.

The atmosphere remained tense for a while.

Peng Juan stopped arguing with Xu Yuan and instead tried to persuade Xu Qin to attend the dinner party hosted by that big spender that evening. The invitation was crucial for Xu Qin's future development.

According to Peng Juan's information, the other party has a great influence in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong film industry is currently superior to that of the mainland.

Go and make a movie with Gu Tianle and Zha Zha Hui. You can see how Xu Qin looked when she left the entertainment industry and how she can return in the same way now.

The effect is definitely better than this old movie, "Mr. Six".

Listening to their conversation, Xu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

Peng Juan was indeed doing this for Xu Qin's own good.

However, due to incorrect methods, mainland agents have indeed suffered considerable losses in this area.

If they actually go to that wealthy businessman's party today, it will probably be difficult for them to leave.

At that time...

Xu Yuan turned around.

Whatever happens then, what does it have to do with him?

He has no obligation to help everyone he sees.

Ok?

Xu Yuan's hair stood on end.

His wrist was grabbed by Xu Qin.

Xu Yuan turned to look at Xu Qin.

The latter was deathly pale, his eyes filled with helplessness.

She didn't dare to refuse, or perhaps she felt she couldn't refuse.

But she just didn't want to go.

She had no other choice but to habitually turn to the person next to her who seemed the strongest.

Although Xu Yuan looks young and isn't a big star, he has a strong presence and doesn't lose out at all when talking to Director Feng, Zhang Hanyu, Guan Hu, and others.

Xu Yuan slowly grasped Xu Qin's hand and then pried her fingers apart one by one.

Xu Qin was in despair.

Is there no one willing to help her?

"What's the name of that wealthy businessman you mentioned?" Xu Yuan took out his phone and looked at Peng Juan.

Is it from Hong Kong? Want to give it a try?

Xu Qin's sorrow turned to joy.

This young man needs to help himself!

Peng Juan was taken aback, then laughed in exasperation. What an arrogant young man! He probably thinks he has some connections and wants to play the hero in front of Xu Qin.

If you suffer a loss later, don't feel embarrassed!

"Hong Kong, Wang Xiao!"

Peng Juan gave the other person's name.

Actually, Peng Juan didn't like Wang Xiao either, but she was Xu Qin's manager and responsible for Xu Qin's acting career. Offending Wang Xiao would cut off Xu Qin's path into the Hong Kong film industry.

On the other hand, this is, after all, the mainland, so even if that businessman has a bad reputation, he probably won't go too far.

"Hey, Ah Qing."

That's right, Xu Yuan dialed A Qing's number.

"Boss!" Ah Qing exclaimed excitedly on the other end of the phone.

Because under Xu Yuan's guidance, he had seen the barrier that he had never touched before.

In the words of martial arts practitioners, he is now considered a half-step grandmaster.

Now, in addition to the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong, there is another one, Master Qing, all thanks to Xu Yuan. Without Xu Yuan's guidance, Master Qing wouldn't have survived the three days of sabotage from fellow martial arts figures before raising the flag.

There are rules for raising a flag in Hong Kong.

Establishing a sect, occupying territory, and raising your flag—for the first three days, all martial arts practitioners can come to challenge you. Once you lose, your flag-raising attempt will fail.

Ah Qing, with her near-master status, seniority, and relationship with Ninth Master, was ultimately able to quell the situation.

It has become the fifth pole of Hong Kong's underworld!

"Do you know Wang Xiao?" Xu Yuan asked briefly.

"Wang Xiao? The one who's involved in the movie industry?"

The moment the words "mistress" were uttered, Peng Juan's expression changed.

This is not a good word.

"Oh dear, he's just a pimp, his reputation is ruined in Hong Kong. Now I hear he's gone to the mainland to make money. What happened, did he offend you?"

"If it's not too much trouble, could you please say hello to him for me?"

"No trouble at all, I'll go right away. His main base is still in Hong Kong, he'll be obedient."

beep.

The phone hangs up.

Peng Juan kept shaking her head.

Impossible. Wang Xiao was the most reliable person she could find in the Hong Kong film industry. How could he be a pimp? If that were the case, then wouldn't she have been pushing Xu Qin into a fire pit all day?

Good heavens!

How could I make such a mistake?

Beep beep!

Less than five minutes later, Peng Juan's phone rang.

After she answered the call, the other end apologized profusely, and Peng Juan's expression grew increasingly grim.

boom!

After hanging up the phone, Peng Juan kicked a pebble hard, and by sheer coincidence, it landed right on Zeng Kun's head.

Zeng Kun fainted from crying in the toilet.

"How could this happen!" Peng Juan almost lost her composure.

As an agent known for her strong professional skills, almost made such a big mistake. Even if Xu Qin can forgive Peng Juan, Peng Juan herself cannot forgive herself.

Years ago, one of her clients handled a similar case. She ruined that girl's life, to the point that she still visits her every year during the Qingming Festival and secretly sends money to her parents.

Such an experience, once it happens, leaves a lasting shadow.

"I'm sorry." Peng Juan quickly composed herself and apologized to Xu Yuan and Xu Qin.

Xu Yuan accepted it gladly, as it was what he deserved, and then turned and left.

"Such a powerful background!" Peng Juan exclaimed repeatedly as she watched Xu Yuan's retreating figure.

Although Wang Xiao was just a pimp in the Hong Kong film industry, his connections were genuine.

How did Xu Yuan manage to get the other party to apologize to him repeatedly over the phone?

Is it some kind of divine intervention?!

No wonder this person debuted this year alongside Meng Xiaoxuan, enjoying smooth sailing and frequent endorsements from official bodies and industry leaders. People say it's just good luck, but now it seems success is never accidental.

Is it because of a good family background or the help of benefactors?

So it seems that in a few years, the entertainment industry might just produce another superstar couple!

Should we try to build a relationship with Xu Yuan?

Unlike Peng Juan's shrewd insight.

Xu Qin watched Xu Yuan's retreating figure, her eyes sparkling.

She suddenly understood what Qi Wei and Li Yuan were thinking.

She knew that the man she had been waiting for all these years, riding on a colorful cloud, had finally appeared.

Sometimes, I'd rather he were a bit of a jerk than such an outstanding man.

At least, it means I still have a chance.

"Sigh. If I were ten or twenty years younger, I would definitely pursue this man!" Xu Qin smiled charmingly, linking arms with Peng Juan, and said, "Don't take it to heart. I know you want to help me, but these things can't be rushed."

"Now, we have to rely on ourselves for everything. Dangers we didn't encounter before may become many more in the future. We must keep our eyes wide open!"

Xu Qin stared at Peng Juan.

Both of their eyes reddened.

Being a woman is so hard!

Wouldn't it be much better if there was a man by my side, even if he was just a newly debuted second-tier star?

Xu Qin went to sleep with this question in mind, and that night she had a dream.

The kind that can't be said.

The results fell short of expectations, which is a bit disheartening, but it's okay; no one can always succeed. Let bygones be bygones, and a brand new journey begins. Our next goal is to achieve an average order value of over 3,000 by November and earn the premium badge. Go go go!
