Chapter 595: Have Confidence in Me
In the dressing room, Liu Yufei, who had just finished putting on makeup, looked displeased as she said, “What… the costume fitting has been canceled? What on earth is going on?”
Looking at the stunning Liu Yufei in front of him, Zhou Qi swallowed hard and then explained, “I heard that someone offended Mr. Zhang, which made him very angry. In a fit of anger, he canceled all the arrangements for today.”
After hearing this, Liu Yufei’s expression not only did not ease, but instead became more curious. She asked, “Who dared to make Mr. Zhang unhappy?”
Zhang Jizhong’s position in the film and television industry was unparalleled, even top-tier stars like Liu Yufei dared not offend him in the slightest, and they had to fawn over him.
So, who was the person today who didn’t know what was good for them?
Seeing that his goddess was curious, Zhou Qi naturally spoke. “I heard that after Mo Yibai finished the fitting, Mr. Zhang immediately issued the stop-work order. Perhaps the problem lies here!”
“Mo Yibai?” Liu Yufei pondered for a moment, then smiled with a hint of schadenfreude in her expression. “Hehe, if it’s really Mo Yibai who angered Mr. Zhang, then one less strong competitor for the leading role against me!”
Hearing this, Zhou Qi put on a “bootlicker” smile and praised, “I think you are worrying too much. With your looks, how can Mo Yibai be considered a rival?”
Liu Yufei, with all her charm, glanced at this articulate old classmate, her expression becoming even more complacent.
If Mo Yibai really caused trouble with Zhang Jizhong, his future in the industry would be greatly damaged. This would greatly benefit Liu Yufei’s development in the film and television industry. Moreover, the role of “Huang Rong” was hers for the taking, especially considering that taking on such a significant role in cross-genre performance was something every star dreams of.
At this thought, Liu Yufei’s mood became beautiful, but after a moment, she became somewhat uneasy. Because this time, her strong opponent in the fitting wasn’t just Mo Yibai, there was an even more powerful candidate.
As she thought of that person, the image of that person became clear in her mind’s eye.
In the dressing room, a graceful figure appeared. With this person’s appearance, even Liu Yufei, who was known as the “fairy sister,” dimmed a bit.
Seeing Cao Wanqing’s entrance, Zhou Qi also fell into a momentary state of distraction. But soon he reaffirmed his stance, stealing a glance at the somewhat displeased Liu Yufei next to him and smiling awkwardly.
Cao Wanqing, of course, did not notice the changes in the expressions of these insignificant people, and she looked at Liu Yufei, whose expression seemed somewhat unnatural, with a light smile.
“Yufei, what’s wrong? Your expression seems a little off?”
At these words, Liu Yufei immediately recovered, smiling as she walked over to Cao Wanqing, pretending to be surprised. “Sister Wanqing, haven’t you heard?”
Cao Wanqing’s gaze flickered, asking, “Heard what?”
Then Liu Yufei repeated to Cao Wanqing what Zhou Qi had just told her, word for word.
After hearing the whole story, Cao Wanqing pondered for a moment and then furrowed her eyebrows slightly. “I know Yibai’s personality, he wouldn’t possibly provoke Zhang Jizhong. I think it’s probably that man called Xiao Shun, his detestable face is annoying wherever he goes!”
One has to admit, Miss Cao’s guess was spot on. However, it’s likely that Xiao Shun wouldn’t agree with her “annoying” evaluation.
What a joke. With his handsome face, who wouldn’t find him charming?
Meanwhile, Xiao Shun and Mo Yibai had already reached the parking lot.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Mo Yibai looked at Xiao Shun with some concern. “Maybe you shouldn’t go to Plum Park tonight.”
“Why not?” Xiao Shun asked lazily, looking composed.
“I heard that the martial arts instructors from the original crew said that the Zhang family in the capital owns a martial arts gym and is also the president of the Old School Society in the capital. You provoked Zhang Jizhong like that, he’s not going to let you off easily.”
Mo Yibai shook his head helplessly, feeling increasingly worried.
“Don’t worry, I can handle this myself.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Xiao Shun knew that this girl was worried about him, which moved him, but he was not the type to be afraidof trouble, especially considering that, in his view, the Zhang family was nothing to fear.
“I knew you wouldn’t agree. If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have brought you here today,” Mo Yibai said, somewhat regretful.
Xiao Shun had only been in Northleap for two days, but in that short time, he had already offended several important figures. Shen Mohan and Tan Xiaobin were easier to handle, after all, they were just slightly influential businessmen. But Zhang Jizhong was different; he was not someone to be trifled with.
“It seems you still have some misunderstanding about my capabilities. How about Tan Haohan from Harrow before? He was quite impressive, wasn’t he? But what happened in the end?”
With that, Xiao Shun laughed indifferently, full of disdain in his eyes.
Previously, when he had just brought Starline into Northleap, Tan Haohan was extremely dominant. But in just half a month, Xiao Shun’s countermeasures had turned the tables, causing Tan Haohan to suffer losses and even contribute half of his company.
Mo Yibai was aware of these events and had full confidence in Xiao Shun’s abilities, but this time, the opponent was clearly different.
The Zhang family was a significant force in the capital, not only owning several billion-dollar commercial projects but also being the president of the local Old School Society. They surely had capable people under their command.
When Zhang Jizhong invited Xiao Shun to attend the Plum Park banquet tonight, it was clearly to reclaim his dignity. If he went, he would inevitably be at the mercy of others.
Well, I can just make sure he doesn’t take the stage when the time comes. I don’t believe that old man can still act openly in front of me!
With this in mind, Mo Yibai made up her mind to keep a close eye on Xiao Shun tonight and not let him cause any trouble.
Meanwhile, Xiao Shun, on the other hand, was thinking about tonight’s Plum Park in a different way. He was planning how to take advantage of the opportunity to expand the influence of the new Old School Society.
After a bumpy ride, the two returned to the hotel.
Having quickly eaten lunch, Mo Yibai returned to the room, deep in thought.
“Why doesn’t this woman believe in my abilities? Sigh, tonight I must let her see what I’m capable of!”
Muttering to himself, Xiao Shun pushed open the door to his room with a wry smile.
