Chapter 13

Mc Xiaoyu came storming in, and Gu Hongzhou hurriedly pulled him back, "Mr. Mai, Mr. Mai, let's talk this out calmly."

Talk this out calmly?

Liu Tao was scolded to tears; did anyone talk to him calmly?

Finding a wild model to force a role change, did anyone talk to him calmly?

Threatening to strike, did anyone talk to him calmly?

Let me talk this out calmly... why should I!

"Let go!"

Shaking off Gu Hongzhou, Mc Xiaoyu headed straight for Cai Kun, his intimidating presence causing the Shengshi employees to step back.

"What are you going to do?" Cai Kun, with a show of bravado, pointed at Mc Xiaoyu, "I've seen plenty of thugs like you, don't think I'll be scared just because you're aggressive... Ow!"

Before he could finish, Mc Xiaoyu's foot had already landed on his face.

Before coming, he had already learned the details from Xiang Xiaoxing.

Unprovoked troublemaking, insulting and belittling Liu Tao, forcing Shengshi to submit, all for the sake of a wild model's rise to fame!

In the world of his dreams, he had often criticized such chaotic phenomena in the media, never expecting to encounter it so soon in reality.

Liu Tao was hiding in a corner, sobbing quietly, deliberately turning away so he wouldn't see; Xiang Xiaoxing, with a red face and neck, was being held back by Shengshi staff, only able to curse in anger; in contrast, Cai Kun sat on the sofa, a cup of tea in one hand and a wild model in the other, looking arrogant and domineering.

What the hell, what kind of person are you!

"I've seen plenty of thugs like you, and none of them have a good end when they mess with me!"

"Cai Director!"

The wild model, being wild, grabbed a steering lock and threw it at Mc Xiaoyu.

Mc Xiaoyu kicked the wild model away with a whip kick, "I don't hit women, but bitches are an exception!"

"You, you wait, I'm calling the police, you're dead!" Cai Kun, with a footprint on his face, fumbled for his phone, trembling as he dialed 110.

"Fine, let's make a big deal out of this today! Lao Xiang, leak it to the journalists, advertising director Cai Kun sleeps with wild models and deliberately suppresses actors to help his lover rise to fame!"

"You're lying!"

"We didn't sleep together!"

Cai Kun and the wild model denied it simultaneously, and no longer called the police.

"Didn't you? Want to check the hotel room records? The hotel surveillance footage is kept for at least ten days, right?"

Cai Kun shivered, his confidence waning, "I don't know what you're talking about. Mr. Gu, I'm putting it on the line today, if you don't give me an explanation, I won't shoot the ad, let anyone else do it!"

You're bullying me because I'm easy to talk to, aren't you?

Gu Hongzhou couldn't help but want to curse.

Mc Xiaoyu sneered, "You really think you're someone. Take your wild model and get lost, you won't touch Shengshi's ads again!"

"Mr. Gu, is this your attitude?"

What the hell, do you really think a decent person has no temper!

Gu Hongzhou looked at him with pity, "Cai Director, you just got back from your honeymoon, so you don't know. The Dove project was outsourced to us by Mengren Film, and he is the CEO of Mengren, and the lead actress is his choice."

Why didn't you say this important thing earlier!

If I had known Liu Tao had such a strong backing, I wouldn't have thought of doing anything!

No wonder they say, a dog that bites doesn't bark!

Cai Kun was filled with regret, wishing he could bite Gu Hongzhou to death.

The Dove ad, once completed, would immediately elevate its status, breaking out of Beijing and reaching the whole country, with a significant increase in value, all real money!

Cai Kun looked at Mc Xiaoyu, thinking of ways to back down and ease the tension, but Mc Xiaoyu coldly said, "Get lost!"

Well, no room for reconciliation, staying any longer would lose all face.

"You'll regret this!"

Losing the battle but not the war, Cai Kun left in a huff.

The wild model, holding her stomach, looked around and followed, "Cai Director, what about the lead role you promised me!"

"Get lost, stop bothering me!"

"What, you're not going to keep your word? You slept with me for three days for nothing!"

...

The farce finally ended, Shengshi staff whispered among themselves, and over a hundred Mengren members watched from a distance, all secretly marveling: Who the hell said Mr. Mai is a fraud?

"Ah!"

Gu Hongzhou sighed, walking over to Mc Xiaoyu, "You feel good, but what about the ad?"

"Don't mention the ad to me right now. Lao Gu, my people were so wronged here, and you didn't even say a word?"

"This is a common phenomenon in the industry, a kind of unwritten rule, all newcomers go through it."

"Bullshit rule! Lao Gu, if you're willing to be stepped on, that's your business, but no one will bully my Mengren Film people! Unwritten rule? Screw it!"

"Good!"

"Well said!"

"I support you, Mr. Mai!"

"Mr. Mai, you're a real man!"

The members were excited.

Although Liu Tao is a signed artist of Mengren Film, different from them, they are members of Mengren Film, and can be considered part of Mengren Film. If Mc Xiaoyu stood up for Liu Tao today, in the future, if they have the chance to enter the entertainment industry and are bullied for no reason, Mc Xiaoyu would definitely stand up for them too!

Gu Hongzhou only then noticed so many outsiders had entered the company, and was startled.

"Mr. Mai, who are they?"

"They are our company's members. Didn't I tell you before, I brought them here today to familiarize them with the place and for you to meet them in person, to see if there are any suitable candidates for the ad."

Mc Xiaoyu never blushed when lying, and the members didn't expose him, nor did anyone question whether Mr. Mai was a fraud. Instead, many people loudly proclaimed their strengths and specialties, making it as noisy as a market.

Gu Hongzhou was at a loss, "This is easy to say, but the problem now is, what about the Dove ad?"

Cai Kun, in the Beijing advertising circle, is a well-known advertising director, although his character is bad and he likes to mix personal interests, his filming skills cannot be denied.

This time, Mengren won the Dove project and teamed up with Shengshi, and the most angry was Huan Yu. Liu Lei had already given a heads-up, and the better advertising directors in the circle either had no availability or were giving Liu Lei face, and no one was willing to take on Shengshi's job.

And Shengshi didn't want to use mediocre directors.

Only Cai Kun, who always recognized money over people, had just returned from his honeymoon abroad, and was a bit short on cash. When Gu Hongzhou offered 70,000, he immediately agreed.

Now that he was driven away by Mc Xiaoyu, who would shoot the ad?

"How big a deal is it, Director Xiang!"

Xiang Xiaoxing ran over, "What are your instructions, Mr. Mai?"

"Let you shoot the ad, any problems?"

"I'm the director? Mr. Mai, I..."

"Say you're not professional, and I'll kick you to death."

"No, no, no, I was going to say, Mr. Mai, you have such good judgment! I graduated from the directing department of Donghai Drama Academy, a regular professional, directed multiple short films, skits, and plays before graduation, and my graduation work was loved by all. A simple ad, for a professional like me, is no problem!"

Gu Hongzhou was speechless, and after a while, he asked Mc Xiaoyu uncertainly, "Is he up to it?"

He was a bit confident at first, but now he wasn't sure.

But he couldn't let his brother down, so Mc Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and nodded, "Let's give it a try, if not, I'll beat him."

A Shengshi staff member came over and whispered in Gu Hongzhou's ear, and Gu Hongzhou sighed again, asking Mc Xiaoyu, "Does your company have a photographer?"

That tone was quite resigned.
