Chapter 123 The Wang Brothers' Hospitality
"Fatty, you're pretty knowledgeable!"
I sized up Fatty Lin for a couple of seconds and then deliberately clicked my tongue.
"Crazy, you've missed too many shows lately. You have no idea what Yang and I are doing!" Fatty Lin patted my shoulder, looking like he was making a fuss over nothing.
"Get lost! You haven't been to the old Heaven on Earth yet!"
I blurted it out.
Only after I finished speaking did I realize that Long Nier was beside me.
I turned my head, about to explain, when Long Ni'er grabbed my arm and asked softly, "Brother, is Heaven and Earth fun?"
"Girl, I didn't do it. If you don't believe me, ask President Yang. He wanted to spend three million to buy the courtesan for one night, and he wanted me to play with her. I firmly refused!"
I explained immediately.
"Yes, Crazy didn't play it. Boss Yang told me!" Fatty Lin chimed in.
It would have been better if he hadn't agreed; now that he has, the soft flesh around my waist is suffering again.
"Nier, didn't you say you wouldn't pursue my past?" I winced in pain.
"We're not going to pursue it anymore, and I didn't pursue it either!" Long Nier said with a smile, adding more pressure to her hand.
"Fatty, from now on, you won't get a single sip of my tiger bone wine!" I sneered at Fatty Lin. Every time I got into trouble, it was because of this guy.
"What does this have to do with Fatty?" Long Ni'er was still laughing.
"Ni'er, I give up, I give up. I shouldn't have kept the affair of Heaven and Earth from you. Whatever you want to ask, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!" I was in so much pain that I was sweating profusely.
"That's more like it!"
Long Nier snorted and let go of my hand. Looking at Fatty Lin, I saw that he had already slipped to the door. When he saw me looking at him, he even made a face at me.
"brute!"
I silently uttered two words, and was dragged into the room by Long Nier for interrogation.
At 8 p.m., Mr. Wang sent a car to pick us up and take us to a private club.
This dinner was a vegetarian feast, and apart from Long Nier, there were no women accompanying her for drinks.
There were only three people from Huayi attending the banquet: the two General Managers Wang and Qian Xiaogang.
After we sat down at the table, the two Wangs showered us with compliments, from how Third Master valued us, to how we taught Chen Jiafu a lesson and forced Brother Long to back down, and then to how we taught Li Wenlong a lesson a few days ago, praising the three of us to the skies.
"Master Feng, we're all from the same Beijing circle, we'll be working together for a long time!"
After several rounds of flattery and about half a jin of baijiu down our throats, the atmosphere became lively. Boss Wang raised his glass and clinked it with mine, Fatty Lin's glass, and Long Ni'er's glass in turn.
This time, Boss Wang downed his drink in one gulp. Since he did, we naturally couldn't just take a sip, so we also finished ours.
After we downed that glass of wine, the atmosphere became even more lively. Qian Xiaogang stood up and refilled our glasses one by one. After returning to his seat, he said with a slight lisp, "Xiao Feng, Xiao Lin, we're all brothers, so I won't call you Master Feng or Daoist Lin anymore, it's too formal!"
"Brother Gang, since you put it that way, I'll call you Brother Gang!" Fatty Lin said with a smile.
"That's right!"
Qian Xiaogang slammed his hand on the table and said, "Putting everything else aside, just for the nickname 'Brother Gang,' from now on, you'll be the feng shui consultant for all the movies I make!"
"If that's the case, then I'll play along!"
Fatty Lin then looked at the two Boss Wangs and called out in turn, "Brother Jun'er, Brother Lei'er!"
"That's a great pole climb!"
Big Boss Wang stood up, clinked glasses with Fatty Lin, and said, "From now on, all feng shui matters at Huayi will be handled by you two brothers!"
"Then thank you very much, brothers, for the meal!"
Lin the Fat and I raised our glasses at the same time and toasted them.
After that sip of wine, we were pretty much on the right track, and we started calling each other brothers.
After taking another sip, Boss Wang said, "Xiao Feng, Xiao Lin, this talent show was actually decided last year. Boss Feng works in the internet industry. People in the internet industry certainly have money, but there's one downside: their money comes too quickly and too easily. They think everything is like the internet, where making money is easy!"
"Brother Jun'er, is it because President Feng has too high expectations for this talent show?" I asked, following his words.
"Xiao Feng, you understand things so quickly!"
Big Boss Wang nodded and said, "He wants to make this talent show a competitor to Hunan Province's Super Girl competition. It's not that easy to do!"
"Is that so!"
Qian Xiaogang chimed in, "The Super Girl competition went too far a couple of years ago and has already been ordered to rectify it by higher authorities. It won't be able to get back to normal for at least two years!"
"We're right under the emperor's nose now, the standards are even stricter than in Hunan Province. If they really create another show like Super Girl, whether it makes money or not is another matter, but if something really goes wrong, none of us brothers will escape responsibility!"
"Brother Gang, how far along is our talent show this time?" I asked.
"Almost finished!"
Mr. Wang said.
"Boss Feng isn't very satisfied with this talent show, feeling it won't have much impact. It's easy for him to say that when he's not in the situation!" Qian Xiaogang continued.
"If the influence is too great, the higher-ups will have complaints; if it's too small, even Feng Zong won't be satisfied. It's really hard to strike the right balance!" I said.
"Yes, it's not easy to get the balance right!"
Qian Xiaogang, as if he had found a kindred spirit, stood up, toasted me, clinked glasses with me, and said, "Xiao Feng, you don't know, as soon as this talent show came out, a whole bunch of people came up to say hello and try to get people in. It's tough for us!"
"Not only are there requirements, but there are also conditions: you have to achieve a ranking, but it can't be too high, otherwise it will attract attention!"
"The higher-ups said the top three are too sensitive, so fourth and fifth would be fine, right?" Little Wang mimicked in a high-pitched voice.
This imitation made us all laugh.
Having said that, what else is there to be confused about? It's just that all sorts of big shots are trying to make their mistresses happy!
"There were too many people saying hello, so we had to divide them into groups. If we had more fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh spots, then the quota would be filled!" Qian Xiaogang continued.
"We need to bring in some new blood, find a few obedient ones. Director Dong and Big Beard also have their own needs. As a result, the first few spots will be filled!" said Boss Wang.
"Brother Gang, don't you have any needs of your own?" Fatty Lin joked.
"Yes, of course there is!"
Qian Xiaogang laughed and said, "Xiao Lin, I heard you're good at conditioning the body. One day I'll bring out the champion I chose, and you can give him a treatment!"
He paused, then clicked his tongue and said, "Xiao Lin, let me tell you, the one I chose has that girl-next-door vibe, she's really charming. You'll see when the time comes!"
"You, with the big beard, should get your hair done too!" said Little Wang.
"No need for Director Dong's, his tastes are rather unusual, Xiao Lin, you can't accept it!" Big Wang seemed to remember something, glanced at his younger brother, and laughed.
"What do you mean by 'Dong Dao's unique taste'?" I asked, intrigued.
