Chapter 278: It Was Too Distracting For Him
Mufeng nodded. “Guo Haolun’s reputation is good, and he has never accepted the idea of offering funds to get someone into the crew. If you can get in, it will definitely be because he recognizes your acting skills.”
Even if Haolun liked to use his usual actors, it was only because those actors’ acting skills were recognized by him that they could become his usual actors.
“Sounds about the same as what Director Chen said.” Jiang Xun sat by the bed, her toes rubbing against the carpet. “That really makes me want to get to know this director.”
Mufeng changed his clothes and turned around. He saw her snow-white toes rubbing against the cream-gray carpet. From time to time, the long-haired carpet missed her toes, only exposing a dazzling white spot.
Mufeng walked over and held her calves to prevent her from moving.
The white spot on her feet was too distracting for him.
As a result, Mufeng pulled Jiang Xun onto the carpet and held her ankles while going one round.
When Jiang Xun supported her waist and got off the bed the next morning, she couldn’t help but ridicule him. “How did you maintain your persona of not being close to women in the past? I can’t tell at all looking at you.”
This man had been living like a monk for the past 27 years. She had even personally witnessed how he had mercilessly rejected women who took the initiative to approach him.
She had even been treated as a woman who had attempted to scheme against him once.
At that time, this man’s attitude towards her could be said to be extremely rude.
Who would have thought that he would be so lecherous when it came to dating.
Mufeng stood up as well. When he heard Jiang Xun’s question, he even gave her a cocked head. “Strictly speaking, it’s not that I don’t get close to women. I just don’t get close to women other than you.”
It had to be said that Mufeng’s words really pleased Jiang Xun greatly.
Who wouldn’t like a man who only had them in his eyes? There was no one!
He erected a transparent but strong barrier around him. Only when she was close would he open the door and invite her in.
The others were in a state where they weren’t allowed in.
Jiang Xun couldn’t help but feel that his charm was really great.
Mufeng pulled Jiang Xun into his embrace and tightly pressed her down. He said in a low voice, “I’ve already given you my seeds anyway.”
Jiang Xun was speechless.
“Fuck you!” Jiang Xun kicked him and ran to wash up.
If she didn’t leave now, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to leave.
At six o’clock in the evening, Jiang Xun arrived at Qin Yang Hotel’s Qin Guan restaurant on time. She told the waiter that she was going to the four seas lounge, so the waiter led Jiang Xun there.
When she opened the door, she saw only Zilong in the room.
Jiang Xun let out a sigh of relief. “Director Chen, I was worried that everyone would be here by the time I arrived.”
“It’s okay. I was worried that you would come before me. If I had come a little later, Guo Haolun would have arrived first. It would have been difficult for you to deal with him, so I came early,” Zilong explained with a smile.
“Thank you so much,” Jiang Xun said gratefully.
She sat down next to Zilong.
After a while, they heard some small talk outside the door.
One of the voices was Haolun’s.
Zilong said, “Eh? When Old Guo asked me out, he didn’t say there was anyone else coming.”
Zilong and Jiang Xun stood up, and the door opened.
They saw Haolun and a middle-aged man laughing and talking as they walked in. What surprised them the most was that the middle-aged man was followed by Xiuse.
Xiuse was holding the middle-aged man’s arm, looking very intimate.
The middle-aged man said politely, “Director Guo, please go ahead.”
Haolun was polite for a while. Seeing that the other party insisted, he didn’t say anything else and went in first.
“Old Chen!” Haolun saw Zilong and immediately came over to hug Zilong.
Obviously, his warm attitude toward Zilong was very different from the way he treated the middle-aged man just now.
With Zilong, it was really the joy and cordiality of meeting an old friend.
But with the middle-aged man just now, it was out of politeness due to the ways of the world.
After a short chat, Zilong introduced to Haolun, “Old Guo, this is Jiang Xun, the one I told you about.”
Xiuse also walked over with her arm in the middle-aged man’s arm.
“Director Chen, Jiang Xun, what a coincidence,” Xiuse called out with a smile.
Haolun introduced, “This is Yang Yixin, President Yang.”
“President Yang, nice to meet you,” Zilong said politely.
Jiang Xun was confused when she heard that. She had no idea who Yixin was.
She only knew about the eight great families now, and it was thanks to Mufeng.
Then there was the Jiang family and the Gu family.
She didn’t know or have any interest in other wealthy people.
But she still followed Zilong and said, “Hello, President Yang.”
Zilong saw Jiang Xun’s expression and knew that she didn’t know who Yixin was.
But he didn’t find it strange.
Jiang Xun didn’t have a good relationship with her father and was only brought back from the countryside last year.
Even though she was the daughter of a wealthy family, she didn’t know anything about their circle at all.
She was with Mufeng, but Mufeng’s status was too high, so she might not know much about Yixin.
When Yixin and the others were seated, he secretly told Jiang Xun, “He’s President Yang of Xinlong Group.”
What was Xinlong Group?
Jiang Xun sat down and secretly took out her phone from under the table to search for it on Baidu. Only then did she find out.
“Old Guo, how’s the progress of your show?” Zilong asked.
Haolun smiled and pointed at him. “You and yourjokes, aren’t you asking the obvious? I’m still in the casting stage.”
“I also didn’t expect to meet Director Chen today. It’s really fate. I’ll be the host for today’s meal,” Yixin said.
Haolun and Zilong didn’t care, so they thanked Yixin.
The two directors were used to others snatching to pay for their meals.
“Director Guo, I’m very interested in your drama,” Yixin continued, “How much investment do you want? Let me know.”
Haolun smiled and said, “President Yang, you’re too kind. My drama doesn’t lack investment right now.”
He, Haolun, was a living signboard. In addition to the gold-medal screenwriter, his drama really didn’t lack investment.
“Who would complain about having too much investment?” Yixin let out an “Eh” sound and shook his head with a smile. “Director Guo, how about this? I’ll invest 70 million. Would you like to give Xiuse a chance?”
“You’re too kind, President Yang.” Haolun was really not afraid of Yixin.
Originally, Yixin had only invited him and Screenwriter Yu today. He had already guessed what Yixin wanted to do. It was just that he did not know who Yixin wanted to recommend.
Ever since he started his project, this kind of thing had happened many times.
Although Haolun was not afraid of offending people, he would not take the initiative to offend people either.
Therefore, he would call a lot of people to stir up trouble at every dinner party.
For this dinner party, he called Zilong, but he did not expect Zilong to also bring someone.
With his understanding of Zilong, Zilong was not a person who would mess around outside.
