In the evening, Zhang Xiaolong went to pay homage to his mother's tomb again. He came here almost every day, as if he wanted to fill up all the blank twenty years.
Zhang Xiaolong faced the tombstone and talked about his twenty years of experience, so that he could calm down.
When going down the mountain, just as he was about to get into the car, Zhang Xiaolong saw a car driving by. In the car, a beautiful woman was looking out the window. Her appearance and figure were somewhat similar to the mother in the photo.
Zhang Xiaolong looked at each other, and the woman showed a gentle smile.
"Mother……"
Zhang Xiaolong hurriedly got on the car and said to Qi Fanghang: "Xiao Qi, follow the car in front."
Qi Fanghang started the car and asked: "Brother landlord, do you want to stop him?"
Zhang Xiaolong sighed, shook his head and said, "Just follow."
Zhang Xiaolong's car followed him all the way along the Huanhu Highway to a luxury villa area. He watched the car in front of him stop at the door of a villa and watched the woman who looked very similar to his mother get out of the car.
At this time, Director Wang came out of the car, pulled the woman's person, and walked into the villa in an intimate manner.
Zhang Xiaolong wanted to get out of the car, but after hesitating for a long time, he asked Qi Fanghang to drive away.
Zhang Xiaolong didn't know that someone was watching Zhang Xiaolong's car at this moment. When Zhang Xiaolong left, he immediately called Director Wang.
Director Wang nodded with great satisfaction, hugged the woman in his arms, and smiled.
Director Wang gently asked the woman in his arms: "Bing'er, how old are you this year."
Bing'er is a second-rate actress who graduated from a second-rate art college. She spends most of her time acting as a bit player, and at her worst moment, she is a corpse. In order to survive, she was also taken care of by some bosses.
This time someone told him that a big shot wanted to marry her, but the big shot was a little older and asked her not to wear light makeup, but to wear some dark-colored clothes to look more stable and quiet.
Binger accepted it gladly, all for the sake of living.
"Twenty-five years old." Binger answered honestly.
An actor, especially an actress, who has not become famous at the age of twenty-five, basically has no chance. To Director Wang, Bing'er is just a child, but Zhang Xiaolong is only 21, and Bing'er is relatively older.
.
I hope Binger can show her maternal side and attract Zhang Xiaolong deeply.
"Binger is your stage name. What is your original name?"
"Liu Muqing."
"You are of a good age. I will give you three million and I want you to make friends with someone." With that, Director Wang pushed Zhang Xiaolong's photo in front of Liu Muqing and said solemnly: "This person's name is Zhang Xiaolong and I want you to be him."
A friend, but not a physical one. He is twenty-one years old this year. You should care for him like a big sister, love him, and treat him as your real brother."
"Ah!" Liu Muqing was startled. This was the first time she encountered such a thing. Someone actually paid her to be someone else's sister.
"You don't need to understand, just do it. Three million is a lot. I'll give you three million when it's done."
As long as you have money, Liu Muqing nodded in agreement.
Director Wang said: "From now on, you will be my goddaughter, called foster father."
"Father." Liu Muqing called out obediently.
"Yes." Director Wang nodded with satisfaction and said, "As long as you are obedient, your adoptive father will hurt you."
Director Wang did not touch Liu Muqing, but actually regarded Liu Muqing as his goddaughter. This is called psychological warfare. If Liu Muqing changes sides, it will be difficult. Director Wang then called Zhang Xiaolong and asked him to bring his female companion to attend tomorrow morning
A banquet was held to relieve the tense atmosphere of the past few days and allow everyone to relax.
Zhang Xiaolong accepted it happily.
Director Wang then made appointments with Guangshan, Hou Jun, Zhang Feng and others, and then ordered his subordinates to invite everyone with the right to vote.
Early on the next morning, Zhang Xiaolong arrived at the banquet venue. This was a luxurious leisure manor adjacent to the Dian Lake and surrounded by mountains and rivers. It was an estate under Hou Jun's name. It was quite safe to hold a banquet here.
Zhang Xiaolong came relatively late. He hired a sister of Su Qing as a female companion at a high salary in the hotel where Su Qing used to work. However, she did not have a high-end dress, so they had to go to the city center to sell one. When they arrived at the banquet,
, here is already a sea of people, and everyone who came to the banquet was stunned.
The venue was a little more colorful, which really made people feel a lot calmer.
Zhang Feng and Li E had already arrived, and they were accompanied by a beautiful female companion. They stood far away and looked at Zhang Xiaolong for a few times, and Zhang Xiaolong pulled the female companion and turned away.
Hou Jun and Hou Dehai arrived later. Looking at the female companion beside Zhang Xiaolong, Hou Dehai felt that she looked familiar and asked curiously: "Xiaolong, who is this person you brought today?"
Zhang Xiaolong smiled and made a gesture to ask the female companion to introduce himself. He had just hired the person in the morning and couldn't remember the name at all.
"Mr. Hou, I am Li Lei."
"Ah! I remembered, you are the lobby foreman of Yindu International Hotel, how did you two get together?" Hou Dehai then remembered that Li Lei was his employee and had an affair with him.
Li Lei looked at Zhang Xiaolong awkwardly.
Zhang Xiaolong touched his nose and whispered: "I can't find anyone at the moment, so I paid to hire him."
"Fuck!" Hou Dehai cursed in his heart. To hire a female companion for such a formal occasion, you have to find a starlet or a model. How can you just bring a random woman? It's really embarrassing for the Hou family.
In fact, Hou Dehai is mentally ill. Li Lei is considered his woman, and Zhang Xiaolong takes him everywhere. What's going on!
Hou Jun heard it clearly, but he just smiled indifferently and didn't take it seriously at all.
The Hou family and his son brought little stars, each one more elegant than the other. The Li Lei hired by Zhang Xiaolong was a bit inferior, but compared with the women in the audience, she was still middle-class and upper-class.
As the initiator of the banquet, Director Wang was the last to arrive.
When Director Wang and Liu Muqing appeared at the entrance, everyone looked over. Gao Xue stepped forward quickly and said: "Mr. Wang, why are you the boss here? If you come a little late, I'm afraid the guests
They will all be starved to death."
"Sorry, I'm late, please bear with me."
Zhang Xiaolong looked at Liu Muqing, took a few deep breaths, and kept telling himself: "She is so young, she is not her mother. Her mother has been dead for twenty years."
Compared to Zhang Xiaolong, Zhang Feng was more excited. When he saw Li Muqing, he was stunned and his hands couldn't help but tremble. He grabbed the hand of the female companion next to him and calmed down a lot.
Her hand hurt from being pinched, but the female companion did not dare to resist. She could only endure it with tears in her eyes. If she offended Zhang Feng, her whole family would probably be killed.
Director Wang chatted with everyone, walked up to Zhang Xiaolong, and asked: "Xiaolong, I said you were sick a few days ago, but you stay at home after you have recovered. This is not good for your health, so it is better to go out and relax more."
."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your concern. This is..."
Director Wang introduced: "This is my goddaughter Liu Muqing, please get to know her."
"Hello, Miss Liu." Zhang Xiaolong felt relieved that this woman was indeed not his mother.
Zhang Xiaolong felt calm in his heart, but Zhang Feng in the distance was not so calm. He actually put down his female companion and walked over on his own initiative.
"Mr. Wang, Xiaolong, you are all here! This is..."
Director Wang introduced them again. He laughed loudly and told some elegant and cold jokes. He was thinking about Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Feng in front of him. His first step in setting up the situation was successful.
Liu Muqing spoke to Zhang Xiaolong in a gentle voice: "Boss Zhang, I heard from my godfather that you are young and promising. You do not rely on the support of your family at all and you can build an industry with your own hands."
Liu Muqing's words were like a sharp knife piercing Zhang Feng's heart. Looking at Liu Muqing's face, he felt as if his wife was sadly condemning him and condemning his irresponsibility.
Zhang Xiaolong said: "I want to borrow it, but I can't borrow it!"
Another blow, Zhang Feng's heart was bleeding, and his face became very ugly. Liu Muqing hurriedly asked with concern: "Sir, are you feeling unwell there?"
Zhang Feng waved his hand and said: "I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while."
Zhang Xiaolong is no longer sarcastic. After all, this is his biological father. He can't be forced to death word by word. After this episode, Zhang Xiaolong's hatred for Zhang Feng has faded a lot. Zhang Xiaolong plans to treat Zhang Feng as an ordinary passerby.
From now on, live your own life peacefully and have nothing to do with Zhang Feng anymore.
"Mu Qing, help Mr. Zhang take a rest." He asked Liu Muqing to take Zhang Feng away. Director Wang asked Zhang Xiaolong for questions, saying that he had a good relationship with the Shi family and that Zhang Xiaolong could go to him if he encountered any difficulties.
As Director Wang spoke, he mentioned the election again and promised: "Xiaolong, if I am elected as the president of the Pinlan Society, I will definitely nominate you as the vice president."
Is the vice president valuable? Zhang Xiaolong doesn’t think so.
Soon the banquet started. Zhang Xiaolong took Li Lei and Director Wang to sit at the same table. Liu Muqing sat next to Zhang Xiaolong. They chatted about movies for a while while drinking aperitifs.
Liu Muqing was very envious, saying that the characters he played only had a few lines at most.
Zhang Xiaolong promised to introduce him to Feng Dong, but he had to pass an audition to star in Feng Dong's movie. Zhang Xiaolong was only responsible for providing an opportunity, not an absolute one.
Just when Liu Muqing was about to agree, Director Wang said: "Mu Qing, if you like to make a movie, I can invest in letting you shoot one without having to go to an interview at all."
Liu Muqing said hurriedly: "Thank you, foster father."
"Xiaolong, do you want to make a guest appearance?"
Zhang Xiaolong smiled and didn't answer. He didn't have time to film. The last time he promised Feng Dong, he just wanted an excuse to go to City A, just on the way.
