She is one of the hottest and most popular actresses in China right now. No matter how beautiful Fu Ying is, she is still just an ordinary girl. Of course, if she wasn't pretty and outstanding, how could she have won the favor of a young master like Zhou Xuan?
Zhou Xuan felt a little uncomfortable. Yang Zhongjun was joking; the actresses were used to this kind of scene, and it was actually quite normal. But with Fu Ying present, he felt uneasy, mainly because he cared too much about Fu Ying.
Qin Ziyan is indeed beautiful, but compared to Fu Ying, she is clearly outshone.
Fu Ying sat down next to Zhou Xuan with a smile, which made Xin Jun dare not say anything recklessly, and he felt embarrassed.
Zhou Xuan immediately thought of Li Wei. If only that guy were here, he would be a good match for mediating disputes.
That's what I thought, and somehow, Li Wei actually walked in, greeting Qin Ziyan with a smile: "Hi, beauties, how are you?" He then looked at Fu Ying and laughed, "You're here too, beautiful sister-in-law? I've been looking everywhere for you outside!"
Fu Ying snorted and said, "Li Wei, they're all friends you know, right?"
Zhou Xuan was incredibly embarrassed. Actually, there was nothing wrong with it. Of course, Fu Ying also knew there was nothing wrong with it, but she just couldn't stand people introducing women to Zhou Xuan.
Li Weiping deliberately came in. While he was outside, Zhou Ying saw Fu Ying follow her brother over. There were several beautiful female celebrities sitting inside. She wondered if her sister-in-law would be jealous. Worried, she quickly dragged Li Weiping over and urged him to go in and check things out.
Li Wei was naturally shameless and fearless; there was nothing he couldn't handle.
Li Weixin knew exactly what Fu Ying was thinking, and smiled, "Yes, they're all people I know. Hehe, let me introduce them to you. This is Mr. Zhou Xuan, my brother-in-law, and this beautiful lady is my brother-in-law's fiancée, Miss Fu. My beautiful sister-in-law has quite a background. You know, the Fu family of New York, the richest Chinese family? My beautiful sister-in-law is the only daughter of the Fu family, the heir to the Fu family's trillion-dollar business. Pretty impressive, huh? Hehe, you're all surprised!"
As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, Fu Ying smiled happily, while the other eight people, including Yang Zhongjun, were stunned!
The Fu family, the richest family in the Chinese world, certainly knew that Yang Zhongjun was also a billionaire, but his billionaire was worlds apart from the Fu family's billionaire!
Qin Ziyan and the other girls were stunned, becoming increasingly curious about Zhou Xuan. Just what kind of person was he? A mysterious identity, a mysterious fortune, and now an even more mysterious identity emerged: the fiancé of the only daughter of the richest family in China, the Fu family!
Qin Ziyan was initially just jealous of Fu Ying's beauty. Fortunately, she felt that she was more famous and had a brighter and more dazzling aura than Fu Ying, which she thought was a kind of beauty. So she put herself in a higher position than Fu Ying. But Li Wei's words ruthlessly shattered her thoughts!
No matter what, a girl's best outcome is marrying well. That's why so many Cinderellas dream of marrying into a wealthy family and turning from a sparrow into a golden phoenix. They have an innate fantasy about the young masters and sons of the wealthy.
But Fu Ying is actually the only daughter of the richest man in the Chinese world. How much is her net worth? If it's in the hundreds of millions, it must be several thousand.
Qin Ziyan's sense of superiority was shattered in an instant, and the girls felt nothing but envy, jealousy and hatred towards Fu Ying!
Fu Ying was overjoyed. This Li Wei was truly family. This brother-in-law was worth it; he understood her thoughts!
Li Wei's way of introducing them undoubtedly interrupted the group of girls' thoughts. Of course, they might not necessarily have had those kinds of ideas, but Fu Ying simply did her best not to give them a chance.
The restaurant waiters started serving the dishes. The menu was ordered by Zhou Xuan, costing 9,999 yuan per table. Upon seeing the dishes, Wang Ziqing and Lan Yin exchanged glances and couldn't help but chuckle. Yesterday, they were mocking Zhou Xuan for being unsophisticated and stingy, but looking at this scene today, they realized that this meal alone would cost at least 10,000 yuan. He had booked the entire restaurant; just imagine how much that would cost!
Then I thought, eating green vegetables is probably just a hobby of the wealthy, since they eat too much meat and fish.
Li Wei then dragged Fu Yuanshan and Zhang Xian over as well. After all, the atmosphere was much better in a place with lots of pretty women, and his grandfather and Grandpa Wei didn't like noise, so it would be better to leave them alone in that room.
Yang Zhongjun quickly invited Fu Yuanshan and Zhang Xian to take their seats. At this moment, Li Wei introduced them to Yang Zhongjun: "Old Yang, this is Director Fu, and this is Zhang Xian, the secretary of Secretary Wei of the Municipal Party Committee!"
He certainly knew Fu Yuanshan; he knew without being introduced. Zhang Xian, however, did not recognize him, but he was even more surprised. If Secretary Wei's secretary had come, then it must mean that Secretary Wei himself was there.
Qin Ziyan and the other artists were equally surprised. The people who came were all surprising to them. In the large living room outside, there were countless familiar faces. These people were all department leaders with power, but they were not qualified to sit at the same table as Zhou Xuan and his group.
Although Yang Zhongjun was surprised, he was the happiest person today. He had become friends with Zhou Xuan because of Yuan Li's matter, and he had also managed to settle Fang Jiacheng because of Yuan Li's matter. This was the most gratifying thing for him. Yuan Li was a bastard!
While Yang Zhongjun was secretly cursing Yuan Li in his heart, Yuan Li was still in distress!
After being beaten and scolded by Fang Jiacheng at Zhou Zhang Antique Shop, he went to find his close associates. However, he did not expect that bad news would spread like wildfire, and his story spread throughout the entertainment industry in just one or two hours.
He tried to contact people with connections, but no one paid him any attention. He called high-ranking figures in Beijing who claimed to admire him, but as soon as Yuan Li mentioned Wei Haihong's name, they immediately hung up the phone and turned it off when he called back!
Many people called Yuan Li's phone, but he didn't even answer. It's easy to understand why. He only has himself to blame for being too arrogant and offending people he shouldn't have offended!
After agonizing for a long time, Yuan Li thought it over and decided to go find Fang Jiacheng. He was the one who caused this, so when he called him again, he should be more gentle in his tone and not act as arrogantly as before.
Yuan Li took out his phone, found Fang Jiacheng's number, and dialed it, but no one answered. Yuan Li had no choice but to hesitate for a moment, and then dialed the number using a landline that Fang Jiacheng did not know.
Fang Jiacheng answered this time, which clearly showed that he was not going to answer his call!
"Hello, who is this?" Fang Jiacheng's voice was irritable, clearly his anger hadn't subsided.
"It's me, Yuan Li. Mr. Fang, please listen to me, don't hang up! I have something to say to you, give me two minutes to answer!" Yuan Li pleaded, begging Fang Jiacheng not to hang up, because he figured that as soon as he said his name was Yuan Li, Fang Jiacheng would probably hang up and turn off his phone!
As expected, Fang Jiacheng didn't hang up, but his tone was harsh: "Speak, say what you have to say, or shut up. I don't have time to waste on your nonsense!"
Volume 1, Chapter 325: Micro-carving
"Mr. Fang, you can't just kick me while I'm down! The... the compensation is negotiable, don't double it, just keep it the same as before... no, no, no... even less than before, by ten percent..." Yuan Li stammered, though he was worried Fang Jiacheng would hang up. ()
Fortunately, Fang Jiacheng didn't hang up and even spoke to him.
"Hey Yuan Li, you've been in this industry for over ten years, and you still don't understand the situation? Let me tell you, don't even think about asking for 10% less than your previous pay. Even if you only ask for 100 yuan a month, or a boxed lunch, or nothing at all, no one will hire you to act anymore. Don't you know who you've offended?"
"This I..." Yuan Li quickly said again, thinking he should try to beg Fang Jiacheng with kind words, but after only three words, Fang Jiacheng actually hung up the phone this time, and the dial tone came through.
"Hello, Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang..." Yuan Li called out a few times, but Fang Jiacheng had already hung up!
Enraged, Yuan Li slammed the phone onto the floor, shattering it into pieces. Now he understood what it meant to be "at the end of one's rope"!
Only then did he realize the fickleness of human relationships and how people forget him once they leave. However, Yuan Li still couldn't understand why things had turned out this way. He still longed for the brilliant starlight of yesterday. He was meant to be surrounded by admirers, and if he were to leave that kind of life, he would rather die.
But now that things have really come to this, there's no answer to heaven or earth. Maybe I should go back and beg Yang Zhongjun again, apologize to him, reduce the fee, and lower the level of service. As long as I lower my stance in front of him, maybe Yang Zhongjun will agree. After all, with his reputation, he can still make money for Baocheng. People, why would they turn down money?
When he tried to make a call, he found that Dan Gang had already smashed his phone. Yuan Li quickly took out his phone again, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dial. It was better to go and apologize in person than to admit his mistake. That way, he would be more sincere. Besides, wasn't he an actor? Acting was his specialty. Putting on a tragic act in front of Yang Zhongjun was a piece of cake!
At this time, the atmosphere at the Beijing Hotel was lively. Almost all the guests who came to celebrate had arrived at the hotel. Zhang Jian was preparing an event to conduct the first sales after the opening.
In the vast hall, with a hundred tables and nearly a thousand people, a sound system was set up on a large table at the front. Zhang Jian, wearing a microphone, chuckled and said, "Distinguished guests, colleagues, and friends, good afternoon! Today is the auspicious opening day of our Zhou Zhang Antique Shop. Before the banquet, we have prepared an auction sale, featuring the finest items from our shop. I believe everyone here will enjoy them. Now, please welcome Mr. Wu, the master appraiser of Zhou Zhang, and Ms. Fu Ying, the fiancée of Mr. Zhou Xuan, the largest shareholder of Zhou Zhang, to the stage to host!"
Amidst enthusiastic applause, Lao Wu and Fu Ying slowly walked to the front of the stage. Lao Wu's composure and Fu Ying's beauty were particularly striking.
