Chapter 85

In a luxurious private room at the West River Restaurant, six men and two women were seated around a round table, with various exquisite dishes on the table.

The people present rarely touched their chopsticks; the dishes in each plate were almost untouched, but three bottles of Feitian Maotai were already empty.

Liu Lei, the CEO of Huan Yu Advertising, sat near the door, holding a wine glass and talking animatedly.

"Liu Jie, if it weren't for our shared surname and the pleasant cooperation we've had over the past period, I wouldn't introduce you to such a good opportunity."

"I won't say much about the script of 'The Calculating Maid.' You're an old hand in the industry, you must have heard of Director Tian Ye, who has won awards."

"Let me tell you one more thing. This investor, Young Master Bin, has the surname Ning, and he's from the Ning family of Qintian."

"The opportunity is right in front of you, why hesitate?"

Liu Xiaoli now deeply regretted bringing her daughter to this so-called private gathering tonight.

She was a former dancer who returned from abroad a few years ago with her daughter and joined the entertainment industry through her old connections, becoming a talent agent.

Two years ago, due to certain reasons, she resigned from her company and started working independently. She used her accumulated connections to facilitate various talent activities, earning commissions, essentially acting as an entertainment intermediary.

A few months ago, by chance, she met the CEO of Huan Yu Advertising, Liu Lei. Her daughter, Qianqian, began to shoot advertisements and entered the advertising industry.

Yesterday afternoon, she received a call from Liu Lei.

In the call, Liu Lei told her that Qintian Media Group's subsidiary, Qintian Entertainment, was investing in the production of the TV series 'The Calculating Maid' and was currently selecting the lead actress.

He had a good relationship with Director Tian Ye and had arranged a private gathering tonight. He thought Qianqian's image was suitable for the lead role and intended to introduce her to Director Tian Ye during the gathering.

Liu Xiaoli didn't suspect anything and was quite grateful to Liu Lei. She said that no matter the outcome, she would show her appreciation, and a large red envelope was definitely included.

But when she brought her daughter to the gathering tonight, she realized it was nothing like what Liu Lei had described.

What private gathering? It was clearly a dinner party, a special kind of dinner party in the entertainment industry!

At the dinner party, Director Tian Ye was only there to accompany, while everyone was surrounding the representative of the investment party, Young Master Bin, flattering and fawning.

During the dinner, a group of men were constantly praising Young Master Bin and forcing her and her daughter to drink, hinting that they should keep Young Master Bin company tonight. The implications were obvious.

Qianqian was young, and she tried to block all the drinks, but she couldn't avoid them all.

Qintian Group was powerful and influential in the industry, and she couldn't afford to offend them. She could only hope the dinner would end soon so she could take her daughter away from this place.

"Liu Zong, Qianqian is still young, I'm worried she won't perform well."

Liu Lei said disdainfully, "What's the problem with being young? As long as Young Master Bin supports her, it won't be an issue. Her starring in this TV series is worth more than shooting a thousand ads with me!"

"This is your good fortune. Once the TV series airs, your daughter might become famous."

"If you keep Young Master Bin happy tonight, getting an award for your daughter will be a piece of cake."

The young man at the main guest position laughed arrogantly and waved his hand casually, "Enough, Liu Zong, enough. Awards still depend on talent, I don't have that much power, really, ha ha."

"Young Master Bin is too modest!"

"Awards are just a matter of a word from Young Master Bin, right?"

"Young Master Bin, excessive modesty is arrogance."

"You should drink a penalty cup."

Liu Lei led the way, and the other men kept egging him on. Young Master Bin laughed and raised his glass, "Alright, I'll drink a penalty cup."

"Wait a moment, Young Master Bin." Liu Lei smiled and looked at Qianqian, a pure and innocent girl of about 14 or 15, sitting next to Liu Xiaoli, "Qianqian, aren't you going to drink with Young Master Bin?"

"Qianqian is still young, she can't drink." Liu Xiaoli quickly explained.

"What can't she drink? It's just one glass of wine." Liu Lei sought help from others, "How can she shoot a movie if she can't drink, right, Director Tian?"

Tian Ye agreed, "She hasn't drunk all night, what's wrong with drinking one glass with Young Master Bin? Besides, how many beautiful women would want to drink with Young Master Bin but don't have the chance!"

"Don't listen to him, I'm a very upright person." Young Master Bin laughed, looking at Qianqian with an appreciative gaze, trying to appear gentlemanly and slowly approaching.

"Miss Qianqian, I have long admired you. I accidentally saw your advertisement in 'Pet Parade' magazine a while ago and was amazed."

"Meeting you tonight, I realize you are even more beautiful in person than in the magazine."

"It's an honor to meet you. I wonder if you would do me the favor of drinking a glass with me?"

Qianqian was frightened and leaned back to avoid Young Master Bin, looking to her mother for help.

Liu Xiaoli hurriedly stood up, blocking Young Master Bin and Qianqian, and smiled, "Young Master Bin, she is still young, I'll drink for her, I'll drink with you..."

"What are you, a nobody? I've been tolerating you all night!" Feeling his face was damaged, Young Master Bin revealed his true colors, rudely pushing Liu Xiaoli aside, "I'm interested in her! You, you still have some charm, mother and daughter, I've tried that before..."

With his mask off, Young Master Bin started to use foul language, and Liu Lei, Tian Ye, and others joined in, spewing out all sorts of insults.

Qianqian was scared pale, and Liu Xiaoli quickly covered her ears and hugged her, heading for the door, "Sorry, Young Master Bin, we have something to do, we'll leave and apologize to you another day."

"Leave? If you can leave tonight, I'll write my name backward!"

Liu Lei quickly stood up, blocking the door, preventing Liu Xiaoli and her daughter from leaving.

Young Master Bin sneered and approached step by step.

You don't appreciate my kindness?

Talking nicely doesn't work, so I have to use force.

Fine, you've successfully provoked my anger, tonight neither of you will leave!

"Young Master Bin, please, let us go, we..."

Liu Xiaoli protected her daughter and begged pitifully, but Qianqian interrupted her, "Mom, don't be afraid, let's call the police!"

"Ha ha ha, call the police? Try it, I'd like to see which police officer dares to interfere with my affairs!" Young Master Bin laughed maniacally, reaching out to touch Qianqian's face, "Little darling, tonight I'll make you fly..."

Bang!

The private room door was kicked open violently, and Liu Lei, who was blocking the door, flew out like a cannonball, colliding with Young Master Bin.

Young Master Bin screamed and fell to the ground with Liu Lei, rolling a long distance.

"Young Master Bin!"

"Young Master Bin!"

Tian Ye and others rushed over to help Young Master Bin up, and Mai Xiaoyu walked in with a cold expression.

Liu Xiaoli and her daughter were stunned, about to speak, but Mai Xiaoyu glanced at them, "Get out!"

Qianqian looked at Mai Xiaoyu in surprise, wanting to say something, but Liu Xiaoli quickly hugged her and left the room.

"Who are you, who let you in..."

Tian Ye was furious, walking forward to scold, but before he could finish, he was kicked by Mai Xiaoyu, flying into Young Master Bin and Liu Lei, who had just gotten up...

PS: Recommend a new book, "I Am the Big Star," a new work by the legendary author of "Feng Shui Master." The old book "Feng Shui Master" has just ended its free reading period.

I won't write too much introduction, just one sentence: Books that can be read for free are all great books; authors who can write such books are all professional veterans.
