Chapter 377: The Director's Call



"Oh, who was that beauty with Brother Dongxu just now? She looks familiar," said the director, failing to pry information about Ge Dongxu from Wu Longcai, so he again turned the conversation to Liu Jiayao.

The director, surnamed Zhao, was a local director from Jiangnan Province and often attended social events of the upper class. As Liu Jiayao also had to attend such high-society activities, he felt that she looked somewhat familiar. Wu Longcai didn't find this strange, but Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie immediately pricked up their ears.

They were naturally curious about Liu Jiayao's identity.

"The CEO of Qinglan Cosmetics." Regarding Liu Jiayao's identity, Wu Longcai didn't see the need to hide it—nor could he—so he didn't avoid the question.

"So it's her, no wonder I felt like I had seen her somewhere before," the director realized, while Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie's eyes widened in shock.

Qinglan Cosmetics were sold in major shopping malls across the country, and of course, Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie had heard of them, even used them before. Only now did they realize that the woman they had just shaken hands with was her!

"Does she have a lot of money?" Jin Yushan quickly blurted out instinctively.

"Hehe, of course, Qinglan Cosmetics is nationally renowned," Wu Longcai replied with a smile.

Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie exchanged glances, seeing the wry smiles in each other's eyes.

Such a beautiful and elegant woman, and so wealthy, how could Jiang Lili compare with her?

Fortunately, they knew that Ge Dongxu was a man who greatly valued relationships. Last time Jin Yushan had twisted her ankle, he had personally crouched down to tend to it. The opportunity to be on camera this time was also thanks to his connection, otherwise, they would have mourned for Jiang Lili.

The matter regarding Ge Dongxu and Liu Jiayao was ultimately off-topic, and Wu Longcai also had his reservations, not wishing to delve into it. Thus, the conversation quickly shifted to the TV drama they were going to shoot.

The director, Jin Yushan, and Lin Sijie mostly chatted amongst themselves, with Wu Longcai occasionally interjecting a few words.

After some discussion, Director Zhao felt that both Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie were quite perceptive. Plus, they were introduced by Wu Longcai, and it seemed they were also connected to that someone called Brother Dongxu, so the director naturally had no objections. He said that in a couple of days, they could join the crew for shooting. The roles were not the lead or the second lead, but they were supporting roles with a good amount of screen time, which made Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie so happy that they kept bowing in thanks.

Once the roles and dates were settled, and the meal was nearly over, the four of them got up to leave.

"Brother Dongxu, CEO Liu, we're going ahead, please enjoy your meal," the four said, getting up from the table and seeing that Ge Dongxu and Liu Jiayao were still there, they approached to bid them farewell.

"When we get to Linzhou, I'll be the host. If you two need any help, just give me a call," Ge Dongxu said with a smile as he nodded at Wu Longcai, then turned to Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie.

"Thank you, Dongxu! Director Wu has been very kind to us, he has arranged everything, including our accommodation. We won't bother you unless it's something significant," Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie said. Being astute women, they understood that a person of Ge Dongxu's stature offering his concern and consideration was due to his amiable and approachable nature. They couldn't afford to push their luck by bothering him with trivial matters all the time, as doing so could potentially sever their relationship. Moreover, they cleverly complimented Wu Longcai in their response.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ge Dongxu smiled and nodded at Wu Longcai, "You've taken a lot of trouble, Director Wu."

"It's my duty! My pleasure!" Wu Longcai was plainly overjoyed and humbled by the words. He quickly nodded with a smile.

"Anyway, thank you. I'll treat you to a meal when I have some free time," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Dongxu. I'm free anytime," Wu Longcai hurriedly replied.

After exchanging a few more courtesies, Wu Longcai and his group finally left the revolving restaurant.

"We should probably get going too. Let's take a walk by Mingyue Lake," Liu Jiayao said, picking up a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth, shortly after Wu Longcai and his party had left the revolving restaurant.

"Wu Longcai, where are you now? What exactly happened? Not only did Vice Mayor Lu call me, but Deputy Director Yuan from the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office also called me, saying you treated the Spanish businessmen very rudely, and also mentioned that one of your friends hit him. This Spaniard, Bravo, has filed a police report. Just now, Director Qian from the City Public Security Bureau called me, asking me to inform you that you need to cooperate with this case and not cause any more trouble," Wu Longcai barely stepped out of the elevator when he received a call from Station Head Guo of the provincial television station himself.

"Station Head Guo, let me explain. It was that Bravo who was acting like a hooligan. My friend couldn't help but retaliate," Wu Longcai said, surprised that the issue had escalated to his station head so quickly and also that Bravo had even gone to the police. He felt extremely annoyed, but he had to explain to the station head.

"There's such a story? However, it's still not right for your friend to hit someone. You know they're foreign businessmen, our guests. The country is advocating for attracting investment every single day, emphasizing the creation of a favorable investment environment for foreigners. How could your friend hit someone? Isn't that sullying our province's investment attractiveness?" Station Head Guo responded in surprise, clearly having no clue about Bravo's inappropriate behavior. But soon after, he gave a concerned and earnest reminder. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

"Station Head Guo, you weren't there at the time. You, too, would have been driven to act if you had been. I was quite restrained, but my friend ..." Wu Longcai continued to explain with a wry smile.

"Enough. Save it. I just have one requirement, handle this situation properly and don't spark a diplomatic dispute, otherwise, even I won't be able to protect you!" Station Head Guo interrupted before hanging up.

Over the past six months, "Happy Female Voices" had been flourishing. Wu Longcai, who was just over thirty, was still young. Naturally, he was full of ambition and favored by fortune, surely speaking more confidently before his leaders than before. With the incident today, it wasn't just anger from the leadership there was also an element of using the opportunity to check Wu Longcai and curb his arrogance a bit.

"Motherfucking sons of bitches! These foreign devils really think they can do whatever they want in Huaxia Country, turning black into white? Damn it!" Seeing that his leader had hung up on him and expected him to resolve this matter, essentially asking him to bite the bullet, Wu Longcai almost threw his phone in anger.
