“Mr. Tang, welcome to the screening, please come inside.”
Lin Chenggong was all smiles when he greeted him joyfully.
Tang Qing glanced at the people present and asked, “Where are they?”
“Those few people will come later. Mr. Tang, it’s hot outside, you can go in and take a seat first,” Lin Chenggong said as he winked at Liu Ran.
Liu Ran walked over with a slight smile and greeted, “Hello Mr. Tang, I’m Liu Ran, the female lead of ‘Islander’. Please come inside, Mr. Tang.”
Tang Qing glanced at Liu Ran and remarked, “I have to admit, Huo Xishen’s wife has a better taste when it comes to picking the female lead.”
In other words, he meant that Yan Jinyi was much prettier than Liu Ran.
Liu Ran clenched her fists and the smile on her face stiffened. “Mr. Tang, I always convince the audience with my acting skills.”
Tang Qing said disdainfully, “Is that so?”
Although Tang Qing used to be a gangster, he had a good taste and judgment. Now, all sorts of sordid people were allowed to become actors. Those with genuine acting chops were few and far between.
“I won’t let you down.”
Staring at Tang Qing’s handsome side profile, Liu Ran’s heart skipped a beat. Tang Qing was the CEO of Tang Corporation and in terms of status, he was far superior than Zhuang Heng.
After entering the screening theater, Tang Qing waited for almost half an hour, but he still didn’t see the bosses arriving.
The smile on Lin Chenggong’s face almost vanished. He beckoned to the assistant director and said, “Call and find out. There are still a few minutes to go before the screening begins. Why haven’t Mr. Wang and the others arrived yet?”
The expression on the assistant director’s face was extremely complicated at this moment. He carefully looked at Tang Qing, handed the phone to Lin Chenggong, and said, “Director Lin, look at this.”
Seeing this, Lin Chenggong’s eyebrows furrowed and he said, “At this time, you’re still making me look at Weibo? I told you to call and find out the situation.”
The assistant director wiped the cold sweat on the corner of his forehead and said, “No, Director Lin, the bosses are here, but they’ve all gone to the screening of ‘Female Fortress Leader’.”
With a furious expression, Lin Chenggong snatched the cell phone.
It was a set of photos sent by the entertainment reporter.
The place where the photos were taken happened to be the entrance of a cinema belonging to Huo Group where more than a dozen luxury cars were parked at the roadside. Those who originally promised to go to the screening of ‘Islander’ appeared at the entrance at this moment.
“What’s going on?” Lin Chenggong chided softly.
“I-I don’t know, didn’t they already promise us?”
“Tao Wei must have pulled some tricks. Atrocious.”
On the other hand, Tao Wei was already ready to let the screening start earlier than the scheduled time, but the closed door was suddenly pushed open at this moment.
The first person to enter was a bald middle-aged man whom he knew. It seemed to be the old director of some enterprise.
The next to enter was a certain female celebrity and her husband who was a big boss…
A dozen people entered in a row, all of whom were dignified figures in the city.
Tao Wei rubbed his eyes hard and said, “Did they go to the wrong place? This is not the venue of the screening of the premiere of ‘Islander’!”
Yan Jinyi said calmly, “No. They’re here for Second Young Mistress Huo.”
‘Second Young Mistress Huo?’
‘But she’s not present!’
Tao Wei once again glanced at Huo Zihang. With him around, it wouldn’t be too bad.
The important thing was that those people wanted to attend old Mr. Huo’s birthday banquet, right?
‘Oh…’
‘How did I cozy up to Second Young Mistress Huo!?’
Soon, the matter hit the hot search list.
“What’s going on? What’s going on? Aren’t Mr. Wang and Vice President Chen all guests who are supposed to attend the screening of ‘Islander’? Why did they go to the rival’s screening?”
“It’s a little… a little shocking. Maybe they saw that Third Young Master Huo is present, so they want to suck up to him.”
“You guys don’t understand. This is just the screening of a film. It’s far less important than getting an entrance ticket to old Mr. Huo’s birthday banquet. It’s purely a chance for you to meet someone who’s more impressive than you are.”
