Chapter 6

Bingo KTV.

In the VIP room, a man and a woman were singing "The Boatman's Love" together.

Liu Lei, in his thirties and pot-bellied, held the microphone in one hand and howled like a pig, "Oh, the love of the boatman, the rope swings gently," while his other hand rested unsteadily on Liu Tao's shoulder.

Liu Tao forced a smile, singing softly and swaying her body to avoid Liu Lei's wandering hand.

The people around them clapped and cheered, urging them on. As the song reached its climax, someone led the way, and everyone shouted loudly.

"Kiss!"

"Kiss!"

"Kiss!"

Liu Lei laughed loudly, forcefully pulling Liu Tao's shoulder, ignoring her attempts to dodge and struggle, and puckered his lips toward her cherry lips.

"President Liu, President Liu!"

Xiao Xing, who had been ignored all night, hurried over, separating the two and smiling apologetically, "President Liu, President Liu, she's still young and hasn't seen much of the world."

"Where is she young!" Liu Lei stared at Liu Tao's chest, his eyes filled with lust.

Xiao Xing quickly shielded Liu Tao behind him, "President Liu, you're just joking. She's new to the industry and doesn't understand many things, so she gets scared easily."

"Being new is good. I can have a deep conversation with her, use my wisdom to water her flaws, and help her grow, right?"

"Ha ha ha!"

"Beauty, you've got a good deal!"

"President Liu is willing to have a deep conversation with you, it's your fortune for eight lifetimes!"

The others kept egging them on. Except for the hostess, they were all from Liu Lei's company. Xiao Xing was alone against them.

Liu Tao's face was pale, trembling behind Xiao Xing. Xiao Xing was angry but had to continue smiling, "President Liu..."

"Get lost!" Liu Lei slapped him, "What the hell are you, nagging in front of me. I'm putting it out there tonight, if she makes me comfortable, there will be plenty of ads. Otherwise, in the Beijing advertising circle, you won't stand a chance!"

Liu Lei's people turned off the sound system, and the room fell silent.

Liu Lei looked at Xiao Xing with a haughty expression, surrounded by people who were coldly watching the show.

Xiao Xing's jaw was almost grinding to pieces, his face alternating between green and white. After a moment, he forced a smile, "Come on, President Liu, let's talk it out, no need to get angry. If you want to play, I'll find you a top beauty... no, two, to play with, I guarantee they'll make you comfortable..."

"Old Xiao, when did you become a pimp?"

Mai Xiaoyu's voice rang out at the door, cold and emotionless.

"Boss!"

"President Mai!"

Xiao Xing and Liu Tao exclaimed, suddenly feeling they had a backbone.

"Who the hell are you, who let you in!" A burly young man walked over, pointing at Mai Xiaoyu and cursing, "Get the hell out..."

Bang!

Mai Xiaoyu punched him, and the young man fell to the ground, vomiting.

"You hit someone!"

"Too rough!"

"How are you, Xiao Zhang?"

Mai Xiaoyu walked straight to Liu Lei, his eyes sharp like an eagle, "You hit my brother?"

"So what if I did!" Liu Lei said angrily.

A man worth tens of millions, he had some backbone.

"Do you want to take advantage of my people?"

"Fuck, I don't even want her now! You better scram, you won't last in the Beijing advertising circle!"

Slap!

A loud slap hit Liu Lei's face, making him stagger.

"Answer me, no nonsense!"

"You dare hit me!"

Slap!

Another slap.

"You..."

"You what! You can hit others, but you have to be prepared to be hit back. Remember, no one touches my brother, no one touches my people."

Liu Lei's face was hot and red, his teeth grinding in anger, but he was helpless.

The burly young man who had been hit was his bodyguard, very capable, but was knocked out by Mai Xiaoyu and hadn't gotten up yet.

He really couldn't fight!

Losing the battle but not the spirit, Liu Lei said fiercely, "Fine, you wait, Mengren Film, I remember. A few people's shell company wants to enter the advertising industry, do you think I can't shut you down and kick you out of Beijing?"

"Shut down? I'll wait and see. Let's go!"

Mai Xiaoyu sneered, leading the way out of the room. Xiao Xing spat on Liu Lei's face and followed with Liu Tao.

"President Liu, just let them go?"

"What else can we do? Can you beat him? Zhang, are you dead, get up!"

The burly young man, supported by others, stood up, holding his chest, "President Liu, I'm sorry. He's very strong, I can't beat him, vomit..."

"So what if he's strong, this is Beijing, the capital! Contact people immediately, I want to shut them down, make sure they never step into the advertising industry again!"

...

The silver Volvo drove smoothly through the night.

Xiao Xing, in the passenger seat, said apologetically, "Sorry, boss."

"You should apologize to her. Old Xiao, you're a liar, not a pimp. If you want to change, take the money and leave."

"Don't, boss, I don't want to be like this."

Liu Tao in the back seat also pleaded for Xiao Xing, "President Mai, you can't blame Director Xiao today, he's always protected me."

Xiao Xing was indeed wronged.

In the afternoon, he took Liu Tao to Huan Yu for an audition. Huan Yu was very satisfied with Liu Tao's image and temperament. They were preparing to secure a big deal, and the advertising plan was already designed. Liu Tao's image and temperament were very suitable for the style of the ad.

Huan Yu's president, Liu Lei, personally promised that after securing the deal, Liu Tao would be the lead actress in the ad. As for whether they could secure the deal, Liu Lei was very confident, claiming he had insider information and more time than other companies, making the deal almost certain.

To build a relationship, Xiao Xing suggested having dinner with Liu Lei. Liu Lei said, "Why wait, let's do it today." So, a group of them found a high-end restaurant for dinner, spending about 20,000 yuan, which made Xiao Xing's heart bleed.

After a hearty meal, Liu Lei suggested singing KTV, and he would treat them.

How could they refuse?

They had already spent 20,000 yuan, so what was a little more?

So, Xiao Xing treated them, and the group went to Bingo for drinks and singing.

During dinner, Liu Lei still acted like a boss, but in the KTV, he was a different person.

He called two hostesses, but still wanted to take advantage of Liu Tao, from temptation to threats, and finally turned hostile. Considering he had already spent 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, Xiao Xing had to play along, hoping to get through the night and secure the deal later.

Now, there was no hope for the deal. Liu Lei would definitely blacklist them.

Xiao Xing knew that Huan Yu Advertising had a good reputation in Beijing, and Liu Lei had a wide network. Blacklisting a small company like Mengren Film would be very easy.

"President Mai, I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for the company. I should have been more patient..."

"Bullshit!" Mai Xiaoyu slammed on the brakes, turning to scold him, "You're my person, no one can force you to do something you don't want to do. Blacklist? What a big face! We'll shoot our own ad, and you'll be the lead actress!"

Liu Tao was silent, staring at Mai Xiaoyu with shining eyes.

"Boss, we're not professionals."

"Tell me, what's the big deal Huan Yu is bidding for, which company?"

"DOVE Chocolate."

Huh?

"I've decided, we'll take the deal!"
