Xiao Yang's words seemed like a casual conversation that was flawless. However, Blue Heart had been in the business world for many years, so how could she not understand the hidden meaning behind his words? Even if he didn't have any deeper meaning, he still wanted to interact more with her.
Blue Heart had seen too many of these middle-aged men who went around fooling around just because they had a bit of power.
She only had a distant expression on her face as she calmly said, "Chief Xiao, the summit is about to begin. Let's go inside."
After saying this, she didn't wait for Xiao Yang to reply and directly walked inside. Behind him, a group of subordinates also followed in a grandiose manner, including the calm Xiao Zheng.
In the business world, it was unrealistic for the beautiful and gentle Blue Heart to avoid such situations. Even for a cold and powerful woman like Lin Huayin, wasn't there a moth that didn't fear death? However, when comparing their personalities, Blue Heart faced more troubles than Lin Huayin. On one hand, it was because she was gentle and wouldn't hurt anyone's pride. On the other hand, it was because Lin Huayin's innate cold aura blocked out the majority of the opposite sex. Apart from a few people with powerful backgrounds or those with a screw loose, very few people would ask for a rebuff.
Of course, Lin Laoyao's existence ensured that Lin Huayin could live a peaceful life.
Xiao Yang's attitude was a bit irritating, but it wasn't too much right now. Xiao Zheng had come in a low-profile manner and didn't want to cause a ruckus, so he didn't plan on pursuing the matter.
He was indifferent, but Blue Heart slowed down and stayed by Xiao Zheng's side. The team members went to contact each other, while Blue Heart and Xiao Zheng stood together. On the surface, it seemed like they were discussing work, so it wasn't too eye-catching.
"Xiao Zheng …" After the craziness in the afternoon, Blue Heart had become even more reliant on Xiao Zheng, and she cared more about Xiao Zheng's feelings. It was just a casual conversation, but she was worried that Xiao Zheng would be unhappy.
"This is the first time I've met Chief Xiao, so I'm not familiar with him …" Blue Heart tactfully explained.
She said it, but she was afraid that Xiao Zheng's male chauvinism would be hurt. He could only give a vague explanation.
Xiao Zheng smiled and picked up two glasses of red wine. He handed one to Blue Heart and said, "Am I that petty in your heart?"
As he spoke, he smiled and took a sip of red wine.
Blue Heart lightly bit her lips as a trace of melancholy appeared on her beautiful face, "I don't want you to misunderstand me …"
"Don't overthink it." Xiao Zheng smiled and said. "It's your job. I understand."
Only when a man was extremely unconfident would he pay close attention to a woman's every move. Xiao Zheng couldn't be said to be very confident, but he had never felt inferior over the years. There was no need to hold a grudge over such a small matter.
Otherwise, his self-esteem would have long since been crushed by Lin Huayin's terrifying pressure.
Xiao Zheng drank two mouthfuls of wine and looked around.
The summit was huge. In the form of a banquet. Roughly speaking, the scene could accommodate nearly three hundred people. It could be said to be a gathering of stars and big shots. It included the top figures of the entire entertainment industry. Famous actors, singers, directors, wealthy investors, producers, top-ranked management companies, film production companies, etc. Unlike Xiao Zheng, who was completely clueless, Blue Heart recognized nearly half of the people present. However, Xiao Zheng only saw Lu Qi 'er, who was surrounded by people, as well as Ru Yu, who was supported by her company.
Speaking of which, ever since Ru Yu went to Lu Qi 'er's company. Her development was getting better and better. She released records, made movies, and took on commercials. Because her image as a beautiful girl was deeply rooted in people's hearts, the number of male fans increased explosively. Very quickly, she became an A-lister and had good results. Even though she was still far from being comparable to Lu Qi 'er, she had become the leader of the new generation of beautiful girls within the country.
The entertainment industry was split into factions. The Baicheng faction was an old powerhouse, and they occupied more than half of the entertainment industry's resources. They had a lot of connections, and they had a deep foundation. Lu Qi 'er, who represented the Pearl faction, also rose at an astonishing speed. In particular, Lu Qi 'er's terrifying background became a trump card for her to become a big sister in the industry.
No matter how amazing the people in the industry were, could they play with Lu Dashan, who was already famous overseas?
Perhaps in front of Lin Laoyao, Lu Dashan was slightly inferior. But Hua Xia only had one Lin Laoyao. Even if it was Shang Jingtian, he definitely wouldn't get into a dispute with Shang Jingtian.
At that point, if there wasn't enough benefit, no one would make enemies for no reason.
Xiao Yang found a quiet corner and sat down. His gaze gradually moved away from Blue Heart. He was the head of the provincial bureau, and he still had this bit of self-control. Even if he liked a woman, he wouldn't easily show it. At most, he would give a superficial hint. If he understood, he would exchange power and money. If he didn't, he wouldn't joke about his political future. In the years that Xiao Yang had been in politics, the number of women he had fallen for couldn't be counted on two hands. At his peak, he would meet a woman that made his heart itch unbearably every week. He had to be bold and decisive to possess her every time. Even if he didn't make a big mess, he definitely wouldn't have gotten to his current position. To Xiao Yang, who didn't have much background and couldn't borrow too much power to become a high-ranking official of the provincial bureau at the age of forty-five, it was already a speed of promotion that was emitting smoke from his ancestors' graves. What did he rely on? Currying favor.
Currying favor. Suppressing his colleagues. Doing things to save face. Fishing for results at all costs. There were many officials like Xiao Yang in the officialdom. And they all lived quite well. But if they wanted to go one step further, and even enter the central government. Relying on this wasn't going to work. Without true ability, they basically couldn't enter the core.
"She's the leader you were talking about?" Xiao Yang lit a cigarette and glanced at Xiao Liqun, who was sitting next to him.
"Yes. That's her. "Xiao Liqun helped Xiao Yang bring a glass of wine. The arrogance and coldness on his face vanished like smoke. Although he didn't need to bow and scrape to his own uncle. But the entire family was managed by his uncle. All of Xiao Liqun's pride came from his uncle's authority. No matter how arrogant he was, he still had to maintain absolute respect in front of his uncle.
"She looks decent. But she should be a few years older than you, right? "Xiao Yang said indifferently. "And she's your leader. She'll also affect your development, right?"
Xiao Liqun was stumped by these simple words. He was speechless.
"Although President Lan is four years older than me, she has a gentle personality. She's not a difficult leader to get along with. Also, when my movie is released. My popularity will also be further stabilized. When that time comes, it shouldn't be too difficult to confess. " Xiao Liqun was extremely confident. And the source of this confidence, in addition to his uncle's authority, was also because of his personal excellence, including Lan Xin's many years of single status.
"I think we should forget about it," Xiao Yang said indifferently. "She's the vice president of Xin Ao. In terms of economic strength, she's a lot more powerful than you. No matter how popular you become in the future, you'll still be an artist under her banner. You're not a match. I don't agree. "
A simple "I don't agree" completely destroyed all of Xiao Liqun's possibilities.
This was Xiao Yang's position in the family. She had the absolute right to speak. Xiao Liqun opened his mouth. His expression was very ugly. But in the end, he still nodded and agreed.
An uncle with real power was enough to make the prideful Xiao Liqun give up on the goddess he had been secretly in love with for a year and a half. This was the effect of an official-based society. It was also the subtle influence of his uncle over and over again in front of him over the years.
"Later, you'll be the middleman. I'll talk to her for a bit," Xiao Yang said with narrowed eyes. "Your new movie is about to be released. I'll scout it out and help you fight for it. "
Hearing this, Xiao Liqun's face revealed a happy expression. He nodded repeatedly. But his fingers tightly gripped his thigh. He endured the pain in his heart.
