I am a Big Villain
Chapter 88: The Soft Rice Man’s Self-Cultivation 4

Zhong Li recognized the man, but the big boy in front of her was more three-dimensional and handsome than he was dressed in simple white jeans at the saloon that day. He was dressed in a white suit today, his face got contoured, and he was more three-dimensional and handsome. He obviously could be called a gentleman.

She thought about the news that the secretary came the next day after she impulsively wanted to provide for him. He was still a third-year student at the Film Academy. She was 23 this year, six years younger than him.

Zhong Li sighed inwardly. As expected, she was indeed impulsive.

The outside world always praised her positively. Everyone praised her for her calmness, wisdom, and superb skills. She could expand the Zhong family’s industry to its present scale in less than ten years. It was no exaggeration to say that she was an exceptional woman. However, Zhong Li was still herself. Apart from her busy career, she also had her own little girl side.

From a young age, Zhong Li had shown a talent that was different from others.

She graduated from junior high school at the age of 12, took the college entrance examination at the age of 14, got an undergraduate degree from the Business Studies of Tsinghua University at the age of 18, and a postgraduate diploma from the Ivy League. At the age of 19, she returned home and began to enter the Zhong family business.

This journey was the legendary history of the top dog, the standard children of other people’s families.

In reality, Zhong Li could devote all her attention to studying because she had no friends.

As the daughter of the black boss, Zhong Li always got followed by a long list of bodyguards after going to school. Except for those gangster chuunibyou boys, no one dared to get close to Zhong Li. The most prominent purpose of those boys was to worship her father as the boss.

When Zhong Li was 14 years old, she fell in love with the school idol. One could not say that she liked the school idol to this extent, only claimed that she had some favorable impression.

Su Can, the school idol of Zhong Li’s high school, was three years older than her.

Cheerful and handsome. Even wearing loose and ugly school uniforms could look youthful and sunny.

He was different from Zhong Li and had his friends almost everywhere. He was a big boy with distinguished family background and good academic performance, which satisfied the fantasies of most of the girls at that time.

Zhong Li also liked Su Can, or she envied Su Can.

She plucked up the courage to get rid of the bodyguard arranged by her father for the first time, plainly to confess to Su Can.

At that time, Su Can tactfully rejected her. He said she was fine, but they were not suitable.

The clever Zhong Li understood the other’s meaning. His father was a government official, while her father used to be a bandit.

She was not sad. Zhong Li felt that her confession with Su Can was just her childish self. In truth, she did not feel ashamed of being rejected. On the contrary, the failure of this immature confession makes her grow up quickly.

She did not know who spread the story of her confession to Su Can. Zhong Li got wholly isolated because of her unpopularity. She was also used to being alone, and it was the same whether she was alone or isolated.

She gradually became a frosty and decisive businesswoman from the little girl who liked pink and occasionally had some naive fantasies.

And Su Can, in that year, entirely disappeared from her life.

That day in the Blue, when she was 29 years old, her wisdom was like 92, her heart was as still as water, and she did not think about her life at all. When she saw the man who was 6-7 points similar to Su Can, sitting under the dim light, singing softly, like a wittering of birds, like a whisper, Zhong Li was a little excited.

She did not know whether she regarded Yan Chu as the substitute of Su Can, or she just liked this type of boy. Now she was no longer who she was at the time. Rumors and slanders did not affect her. No one in the Zhong family could be her master.

Without much thinking, Zhong Li asked Yan Chu, who had come off the stage, for her to support him.

Even if it was to fulfill a dream he had when he was fourteen, Zhong Li felt that the money was worth it.

At her current level, no matter how much money, it was just a number. What could be more important than making yourself happy?

Only now, watching Yan Chu, who was standing in front of her and smiling at her, Zhong Li felt a thorny feeling for the first time.

The word of providing was so delightful that she had forgotten that she had never had a boyfriend before.

If you indeed want to be a qualified golden master, how do you make yourself more experienced? This matter was quite urgent.

“Secretary Jiang, the takeaway you ordered.”

After sending off the people from Mobi Company, the receptionist also brought up the takeaway.

“Give it to me.”

Yan Chu naturally took the take-out box. Looking at the packaging, it was Ding Wei Xuan’s, which specialized in high-end health vegetables. Their price was not low. Any two dishes and one soup cost about 400-500 Yuan.

Jiang Xin sighed. The day of being taken care of was so nourishing. She did not know if the president still needed a bed warmer.

“Irregular diet is bad for the stomach. If you have stomach problems, you can’t forget to eat. You can’t eat cold food. It’s truly better to eat freshly cooked food every day to ensure that food is clean and hygienic. No matter how good the restaurant boasts, it’s better to make it yourself.”

Yan Chu took the lunch box in one hand, and consciously took Zhong Li’s hand in the other hand, then went to her office.

“I’ve started to learn to cook now, but it’s not very good. Don’t worry. You can eat my loving lunchboxes in no time.”

Zhong Li did not react for a while, so he led her into the room. The office door was closed, and Jiang Xin could not hear the rest.

Was that the thoughtfulness of the little wolfdog8little wolfdogyoung men who were brought up by wealthy and older women?

Jiang Xin was a bit envious and hateful. Her boyfriend was busier at work than her, and the two of them primarily relied on takeaway to solve the problem of eating together.

Just now, she thought that the other party came out in a hurry and did not have a meal, so he ordered dinner for himself. She did not expect that it was for Zhong Li. He also worked hard to achieve this.

But what could she do if she was envious? The thoughtfulness bought with money was also considerate. As long as you had money all the time, it was good.

There seemed to be something wrong with this. When did her Three Views47Three Viewsgenerally refer to the view of career, work, and achievements get crooked?

Over there, Zhong Li was held by Yan Chu and sat on the sofa before she came to realize what Yan Chu had done.

“Your favorite winter melon soup, as well as souteed shrimp mear with Longjing tea and stir-fried kale, millet congee to nourish the stomach, you can drink more a bit.”

Yan Chu took the food out of the bag one by one, and the delivery boy brought it in time. All the dishes, including millet congee, were at the right temperature.

“You?”

Zhong Li frowned. Although it was a providing relationship between them now, was there such a close relationship between them?

“Don’t worry, it’s the first time for me to be taken care of, but I’ll try my best not to let your money go in vain. Taking care of me will unmistakably make you worth the money.”

Yan Chu smiled, almost blinding people with his big white teeth.

“Quickly drink it while it’s hot. I just heard Secretary Jiang say that you haven’t eaten anything but two cups of coffee since noon.”

Yan Chu helped Zhong Li break off the chopsticks and passed them to Zhong Li’s hand after making sure that the temperature of the congee was not too hot.

He did not know whether he should take the initiative to feed her at this time, but thinking about Zhong Li’s character, this approach might arouse the other side’s disgust. As a qualified little wolfdog, he could not do things that made the golden owner unhappy.

Warm pumpkin millet congee, after a few mouthfuls, the initially painful indigestion quickly felt much better.

“I thought Secretary Jiang ordered this. How do you know that I have a stomach problem, and what do I like to eat?”

Zhong Li picked up a piece of winter melon and asked casually.

“There are all on the Internet, the youngest and most beautiful richest woman, so many people are crying out to give you a baby. I think I’m quite lucky. I’ll unquestionably do this job well.”

He was smiling again. Zhong Li lowered her eyes and felt that it was not a mistake to take care of this youth in front of her on an impulse.

Regardless of whether the other party regarded being taken care of as a career or something, the thoughtfulness from the opposite sex gave Zhong Li a different feeling.

She felt that if the other party had been performing well, she could keep him for a longer time.

There was a delay in eating, and it was almost too late to do the styling.

Zhong Li was now wearing a women’s suit from a niche high-end French brand. The simple and neat tailoring design was in line with her temperament. The stylist did not let her change her clothes but helped her make-up and remade her capable and experienced hairstyle.

With big red lips, some exaggerated emerald stud earrings, all of a sudden, her aura was very domineering and forceful. Even if she went to a banquet, she would not make the host feel perfunctory at all.

One black and one white, one was pure and handsome, the other was bright and gorgeous, walking together, they seemed to be very harmonious.

Zhong Li looked at the youth beside her with satisfaction.

“There will be many people in the entertainment circle at this banquet. Aren’t you a student of the Film Academy? You can take advantage of this opportunity.”

Although Zhong Li was the one who took care of the other party on a whim, since the other party was hers now, she would naturally be satisfied with what she wanted.

It was coming, the golden master’s unique dialog.

Yan Chu thought about what the tutorials on the Internet were about what the golden master said.

“Don’t feel embarrassed. You deserve these. I’m pretty satisfied with today’s dinner.”

Zhong Li adjusted the collar, ignoring the stylist’s words, and re-buttoned the top two buttons of the shirt inside. She finally felt more comfortable.

Just now, Yan Chu’s silence made her feel at a loss for the other party. It was hard for her to show her first smile today, just like the elder comforting a younger one.

“M-hm, thank you, President Zhong. I will work hard.”

Yan Chu also realized the other party’s misunderstanding, but it did not matter since the ending was the same.

“It’s strange to call me President Zhong. You can call me Sister Li just like everyone else.”

She was six years older than him, so it was not too much to call her sister.

“Can I call you Little Pear? It seems to be closer. Our current relationship is different from others, isn’t it?”

The rules of seducing the golden masters, appropriately acting like a baby, let the other party gradually get used to it, and that you were different from others.

Zhong Li did not expect that Yan Chu would suddenly make this request.

Little Pear was her nickname when she was a child, but when she was a little older, no one called her by this nickname anymore, and to suddenly hear it, she was a little lost.

“Only in private, when we’re alone. In front of outsiders, I still call you Sister Li.”

Yan Chu took Zhong Li’s hand and gently scratched her palm with his fingertips. His eyes were wet, like a spoiled little puppy.

“Cough.”

Zhong Li retracted her hand, a bit lost. She coughed several times, concealing her blushing cheeks.

“Only when there’s nobody.”

If Zhong Li did not make sure that Yan Chu and his family were innocent, although he had been a school idol-level figure since he was a child, he had no good friends of the opposite sex before her. Even in the Blue, he was selling his skill, not selling himself. Just from that act, she doubted that the other party had a mutual relationship with prodigal sons from time to time, and it attracted people strongly.

“Okay.”

Yan Chu used to show his white teeth when he smiled.

Zhong Li keenly noticed the embarrassment, tension, and lastly happiness in the other’s eyes that was too late to cover up.

So for the seemingly proficient seduce just now, was the other side also skilled in supporting the costume?

Holding back the smile in her heart, Zhong Li felt that if the other party could make her happy for half a million a month, the price would be too worthwhile.

He was honestly learning to please her, as he said.

After that, please make persistent efforts.

Many celebrities in the entertainment circle participated in the Chairman of Gao Bi Gao, Gao Zhang’s golden wedding anniversary, and many media gathered outside the hotel. Although they could not enter the infield, it was good to take some photos of the celebrities.

There were many cinemas under the name of Gao Bi Gao Group, accounting for almost 15% of the market share. Therefore, on the golden wedding anniversary of Gao Bi Gao Chairman and his wife, everyone involved in the entertainment circle had come. After all, they belonged to this circle. No one could guarantee that their movie would be released that day. It was also good to have a good relationship with Gao Bi Gao to arrange the film request.

Those 18-line little stars also knew the news, and they all wanted to squeeze in. And there was to know that there were not only many seniors in the entertainment industry, but also the internationally famous directors and the owners of several major entertainment companies who came here tonight. If they could show their faces in front of those people, their future might be different.

“Film Emperor Zhang, look here.”

“Ding Dang, look here.”

Outside the hotel, the flash of the camera was almost continuous in daylight. The celebrities were relatively good-tempered. Hearing the shouts of the media, they would stop and stand outside the hotel and let them take a few photos.

And the big bosses and famous directors of those companies were not so good-tempered compared with them. They almost came and went in a hurry, and many bodyguards were standing beside them, blocking the media’s photos.

The same was true for Zhong Li. She did not like her life being over-exposed under the lens of the media.

“President Zhong, look here.”

The youngest richest woman in China, with a net worth of over 10 billion, was gorgeous and single. She was simply the female version of the highly eligible bachelor.

Wedding her was equivalent to marrying a diamond mountain.

Unfortunately, as the boss of an entertainment company, Zhong Li’s life was just like an ascetic monk. The company and the family that was her two points and one line. She had never been intimate with any of her artists. The third-rate tabloids wanted to report some frivolous news about her, but there was no evidence of the groundless accusations.

But today, Zhong Li, who had always been alone at the dinner party, was accompanied by a young man wearing white attire. The media’s acute nerve suddenly aroused, and the cameras then aimed at Zhong Li, regardless of the splendidly dressed but not developed yet of the new young female teen idol Gao Ding who posed in depression.

It was a pity that security guards surrounded her and the mysterious young man. All of them saw only their backs. Without even seeing their faces clearly, they watched the others enter the hotel.

“Which young master is that?”

The media could not think of anyone else about who Zhong Li could openly bring to President Zhang/Gao’s golden wedding anniversary banquet.

“I don’t know. I didn’t look carefully. Did any of you see clearly?”

A group of people inquired about each other.

“They are walking too fast and being blocked by bodyguards. I didn’t see anything distinctly.”

All the media reporters said they did not see the visitor clearly, and even the photo was just a blurry back.

But it was better to have a photo than nothing, and all they had to do was to draw up the title.

#The ten-billion female president holds hands with mysterious men, who will win the sonorous rose in the end?

#It doesn’t matter what the truth is. The number of hits is enough anyway.

“President Zhong.”

Zhong Li did not arrive early. Many people had already come to the banquet hall. Seeing her appearance, they came over with wine.

“This one?”

Yan Chu was a little unfamiliar, and he was not a well-known young master or a famous artist in the entertainment circle.

However, it was Zhong Li who brought him. Others looked at Yan Chu with utterly amicable eyes.

“Zhong Li, the newcomers our Tianqi strongly support this year, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Chen, are still young people. If there is any offense in the future, I hope you will forgive me a lot.”

In front of these two middle-aged men, one was the boss of Juxing Entertainment, and the other was the boss of Shuangzixing Entertainment.

All said that the peers were enemies, but there were many interests exchanged in the entertainment circle. Moreover, the biscuit was so enormous that a whole family could not finish eating it. Therefore, you must not look at the people who hate each other in the ordinary days, sometimes, there were cooperation projects, and everyone was still friends.

It was not just the actors who could act in this diverse society.

“Where did President Zhong dig a good seedling? Don’t worry, your Uncle Chen and I cherish the talented the most. You don’t need to say those words like we are the outsider.”

The two men looked at Yan Chu vaguely. Tianqi had newcomers in the past, but they had never seen Zhong Li bring those people out to attend a banquet like today. It seemed that the other party attached great importance to this young man. It was because she was optimistic about the other’s potential, or…

Everyone was the boss of an entertainment company. Who was better than anyone else?

However, given Zhong Li’s performance of not entering with strangers in the past and her current magnanimous attitude, it seemed that she was too awkward. They were speculating about Zhong Li’s ordinary promotion of newcomers in the company today.

After a few words of greeting, Zhong Li took Yan Chu to today’s host and his wife.

The wine reception and banquet was a small sorority party. All the people who came here were rushing to expand their connections. Although Zhong Li’s position was very high now, many people were more powerful than her in China alone. Now, it was far from the point where she could be reckless.

Therefore, the plot of those overbearing presidents on TV who did not go to work every day and just busy chasing after the incompetent girl who poured coffee on him was a lie. The actual president did not have so much time to fall in love.

Fortunately, Zhong Li had already had a bowl of congee to fill her stomach before coming here. Otherwise, just that glass of red wine would be enough to overwhelm her stomach. It was the base of Yan Chu’s efforts to help her block the wine.

“This newcomer from President Zhong’s company is pretty interesting.”

It was He An who was speaking, and his words contained a smile, not mocking, but kindness.

Looking at the young man drinking for Zhong Li, this kid was very clever.

He An was regarded as one of China’s top directors. He had not signed any agency but had his own studio.

In his early days, he was famous for making large-scale commercial films with big scenes. Almost every film was very successful and repeatedly broke the box office records of the year.

The current box office record of China movies was a comedy he shot the year before. The cost was low, but it was in the Spring Festival, and it was funny and easy to understand. It was suitable for the whole family to watch. With an investment of 60 million Yuan, it earned 2.5 billion at the box office. One could state that it had created a miracle in the history of Chinese film.

Now he was regarded as one of the most favored directors of investors, but the other party also had his own troubles.

That was, his movies were easy to get a seat, but hard to win a good one.

No comments from outsiders. The film critics in the circle constantly attacked his films for lack of intention and profound connotation. Such popcorn movies do not deserve him the title of big-name director.

Until now, except for some second and third-rate awards that he was dissatisfied with, the best director of the domestic mainstream certification benchmark awards had passed him one after another, which made him feel aggrieved.

At his level, money and everything were imaginary. Now what he desired was fame. He wanted to make a literary film that caters to the minority to hit awards. This film was the first time he had tried cold-themed shooting. Because of his move, those investors who were rushing to invest in him were hesitant. After all, this was He An’s first attempt to experiment with other subjects. In case of a flutter, their money had not been brought by the wind.

“I heard that the film that Director He hasn’t found a suitable investor for the film he is currently preparing?”

Zhong Li held Yan Chu in one hand and asked He An with a glass of red wine that she had barely touched in the other.

“Is President Zhong interested?”

He An raised his spirit. Although it was a literary film, he had invested a lot in this film. Of course, with his assets, he could afford the cost of this film, but if he indeed devoted his energies, he would also lose much of his strength.

He An was not entirely confident in contacting this unfamiliar field. He was also afraid that he would fail and lose all his money.

“I’m interested in it as long as it has Director He’s name.”

Zhong Li vaguely praised He An: “I plan to invest 50 million Yuan in this film, and I don’t know whether or not Director He will give me this opportunity.”

Fifty million, exactly to close the gap He An needed now, he did not have time to be happy, how could he refuse?

In addition, Tianqi had an outstanding reputation over the years and would not tell the director what to do with the investment. Why did he hesitate?

“This is a third-year student of the Film Academy, Yan Chu, Tianqi’s newcomer this year. I don’t know if there is a suitable role for this kid in the film that Director He is preparing.”

Zhong Li’s red lips easily opened, and He An felt joy in his heart. It turned out that this investment was with ulterior motives.

It was really because He An misunderstood Zhong Li. She honestly did not spend much time with Yan Chu either, and she did not spend much money on him. Investing in He An was just pure trust in him.

With his name, it was unlikely that this film would lose money when it was released. At most, it would barely make a profit. It would not lose much even if it lost.

Even if she was indeed losing money, she gave timely assistance when He An could not replace investment. It would be goodwill that could not be gained at other times.

She can afford to lose 50 million.

Wouldn’t she have the priority to invest when he gave up the literary and artistic films he could not control and switched to commercial films next time? She would not lose money in this business.

As for Yan Chu, it was wholly incidental.

Zhong Li looked at the little wolfdog’s grateful eyes beside her. She felt a little guilty.
