Chapter 137 Role Change in 5 Days
Over the next few days, Ye Huan fawned over Aunt Xiao, showering her with compliments and revealing plenty of gossip.
In order to get them to talk, she told her a secret she had learned from her godfather, Jin Gu.
It's not really a secret; the falling out between the tenth daughter of the Lu family and the gambling king Lu is common knowledge.
Last year, the tenth sister published a newspaper article publicly demanding HK$3 billion in dividends from the gambling king, causing a great uproar.
The reason for the siblings' falling out was actually quite simple: the fourth wife took over, and the tenth sister was kicked out of SJM Holdings.
The secret Ye Huan mentioned, or rather the main reason why the gambling king was able to control his younger sister in previous years, was that the tenth sister had an illegitimate child with her cousin.
This kind of thing would be a scandal no matter where it happens.
The reason why the Tenth Sister has stood on the side of the gambling king all these years is because of this illegitimate child.
As a result, the gambling king turned his back on her and, after firmly establishing himself, not only rejected the tenth sister's arrangement to make her son a director of SJM Holdings, but also had the fourth wife replace her in her position.
Aunt Xiao readily accepted Ye Huan's flattery, but rejected everything else, using the excuse that Third Master was not present and she could not make the decision.
After a week of persistent efforts, seeing that Aunt Xiao was not taking the bait, Ye Huan had no choice but to seek another partner.
During this time, the host, Lan, came again, but seeing that Aunt Xiao still had the same attitude, she never came again.
After resolving the issues with Host Lan and Ye Huan, we suddenly had some free time. We spent our days doing acupuncture and selling medicine, nothing major. Occasionally, we'd visit Aunt Xiao to catch some gossip.
Recently, Huayi hasn't had any major scandals, but Tiancheng has been full of them, or more accurately, it's a battle of three women.
The charming Chen Ling, the tea girl Jiang Junyan, and Fan Yiyi engage in various open and covert struggles for Boss Wu.
While watching the drama unfold, I couldn't help but feel a bit of a shock. These three people were practically fighting tooth and nail, yet they didn't realize that there was an Olympic babe, Wang Zixuan, secretly watching them from behind.
October arrived in the blink of an eye, and Qian Xiaogang's movie was about to start filming. My brother and I, as consultants, had to go to the location in advance to check the feng shui and prepare for the opening ceremony.
These were just formalities; the money had already been transferred in advance, totaling 500,000 yuan for the opening ceremony and feng shui consultation.
Long Nier didn't come to Northeast China this time. First, she had to look after the house. Second, it was a war film being shot, so there weren't many actresses, and the filming conditions were quite harsh. Third, Long Nier wasn't feeling well, and it was starting to get cold in Northeast China at that time. Considering all these factors, we decided not to let her come.
The opening ceremony went smoothly. After it was over, Qian Xiaogang treated the main actors of the crew to dinner at a big hotel in town.
At first, everything was normal, but after a few drinks, Director Gang started praising Chen Ying.
Chen Ying was later known as the "Cheongsam Goddess," and at that time, she was in her prime and very charming.
As he praised her, Director Gang started gesturing, saying that Chen Ying had a very good body proportion, and occasionally he would unintentionally touch Chen Ying.
They're all seasoned veterans; anyone with a brain can see what Director Gang meant.
We didn't care. Let him do whatever he wants. That's the way things are in the industry, and it's none of our business.
Chen Ying was very savvy; she toasted him and praised Director Gang, keeping him grinning from ear to ear.
We drank until almost 10 p.m., then went back to our rooms.
According to the original plan, we would stay with the group for half a month, and then return to Beijing after confirming that everything was alright.
Unlike the other actors in the film crew, my brother and I don't have to get up early.
The next morning, by the time we got up, washed up, and arrived at the film set, it was already noon.
As soon as I arrived at the film set, I noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off.
I found a moment of calm, approached the assistant director, Lao Hong, and asked, "Lao Hong, what's going on? Something seems off."
"hey-hey!"
Old Hong gestured towards Chen Ying, who had no chance for the time being, and whispered, "I didn't get to eat anything last night, so my breathing is a little sluggish!"
"You seemed to be having a good chat at the dinner table yesterday?" I said.
"Master Feng, this is what you call showing someone but not letting them eat. Just you wait, if Director Gang doesn't get to eat, he'll cause a scene sooner or later!" Old Hong said.
Over the next two days, the atmosphere on set became increasingly tense.
I could tell from this situation that they hadn't even gotten a taste yet.
On the fourth day of filming, not long after we finished work, there was a knock on my door. It was Chen Ying.
"Master Feng, I'm not used to the climate in Northeast China, and since I came here half a month in advance to experience life here, I'm feeling a bit unwell. Could you take my pulse and give me some acupuncture?"
After opening the door, Chen Ying got straight to the point.
"Can!"
I nodded and did not refuse.
After Chen Ying came in, I took her pulse. It was cold air entering her body, but it wasn't a big problem.
I gave her a few acupuncture needles.
Half an hour later, Chen Ying said goodbye and left.
The whole process was just a normal medical consultation, and since Fatty Lin and I shared a room, there was nothing shameful about it.
"You lunatic, is Chen Ying using us two brothers to buy time?"
After Chen Ying left, Fatty Lin asked.
"I remember Qian Xiaogang said he'd be filming here for several months. We're leaving in ten days, so how long can she keep delaying?" I said with a smile.
"Too!"
Fatty Lin nodded.
The next day at noon, my brother and I, just like before, leisurely strolled to the film set.
"Why should I leave?"
Upon arriving at the film set, Chen Ying was seen questioning Qian Xiaogang with red eyes.
"You're no good!"
Qian Xiaogang said with a cold face.
"I'm not good enough?" Chen Ying pointed at herself, almost laughing in anger.
"It doesn't fit the vibe of our film!"
Qian Xiaogang said calmly.
"Oh, that's really ruthless of you, actually kicking him out?" Fatty Lin didn't expect Qian Xiaogang to be so ruthless.
"That's really inhuman!"
I nodded, but didn't pay much attention. That's just how the entertainment industry is. If you don't give it to me, I won't use you. Everything has a price.
Chen Ying gritted her teeth, gave Qian Xiaogang a deep look, and left without arguing further, her eyes red.
"I'm in charge of this production crew. Don't think that just because you've curried favor with someone, you can secure a place in the crew!"
Qian Xiaogang snorted and added another sentence.
As he spoke, he glanced at the two of us.
"Alright, everyone disperse, let's get back to filming!"
Seeing this, several assistant directors shouted orders, telling the extras and other spectators to disperse.
"Hey, you lunatic, what does he mean?"
Fatty Lin suddenly became famous.
"What do you mean? Yin and Yang, what about us brothers?!" I said.
"Director Gang, what do you mean by this?"
Fatty Lin narrowed his eyes, walked straight up to Qian Xiaogang, and asked in a cold voice.
"Master Lin, what could I possibly mean? It's just replacing the actress who doesn't meet the crew's requirements!" Qian Xiaogang said with a forced smile.
Fatty Lin stared at Qian Xiaogang for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "Qian Xiaogang, you're getting cocky, aren't you?"
