Right after ending the call, Ye Lingchen received another call from Xiao Feifei.
"Lingchen, congratulations on your movie's sales," Xiao Feifei said with a smile.
"Thank you."
"It's National Day soon. Are you free? I bought Huo Yuanjia's movie ticket. Do you want to watch your own movie in the cinema? "Xiao Feifei suggested, trying to make her tone sound relaxed.
"Sure. When did you buy it?" Ye Lingchen asked.
"Tomorrow."
In truth, Xiao Feifei had already bought all the movie tickets for the week before Huo Yuanjia became popular. If the movie seats were full, she would quietly buy the remaining seats.
Before that, she did not ask Ye Lingchen to watch the movie with her. It was only after Huo Yuanjia's sales that she brought it up.
"Mm, see you tomorrow."
…
At the same time, in contrast to Huo Yuanjia's crew, I am Hero's crew had turned silent.
Wu Han's expression was extremely ugly. On that day, I am Hero's box office took a nosedive and its ratings began to drop. From the next day onwards, the showtimes would be reduced by 5%!
A 5% reduction, and it was given to Huo Yuanjia!
What was the meaning of that?!
"Young Master Wu, what's the meaning of this? Isn't this a slap to your face?! "Wu Yong said with a pale face.
"Why are you giving Huo Yuanjia more showtimes? Young Master Wu, the movie company is not giving you face at all! "Shi Lei said indignantly.
Chen Feng's face twitched. "Young Master Wu, we can't just let this go. The showtimes are related to the survival of a movie!"
He had no choice but to be anxious. After all, he had invested in I am Hero. Furthermore, he had invested a lot in order to fight against Huo Yuanjia. That was directly related to whether or not he could recoup his investment!
Wu Han took a deep breath and made a call.
"What's the meaning of this? Why are you lowering our showtimes? Didn't you agree to suppress Huo Yuanjia's showtimes? "
"Young Master Wu, a movie is determined by the market. We didn't expect Huo Yuanjia to be so popular. As for your movie … apart from the initial fan effect, the box office is now dropping rapidly."
"Dropping rapidly? You're saying there are fewer people watching my movie? "
"Indeed." The voice on the other side of the phone was very calm. "Not only that, I am Hero's reputation is also plummeting. We can't do anything about it."
Wu Han hung up the phone, and a trace of haze flashed in his eyes.
His influence over the film company was limited. It was good enough that they gave him face, so he couldn't order them around.
"Young Master Wu, what should we do? Our movie is really going to lose to Huo Yuanjia!" Chen Feng was obviously panicking.
"I'll post on Weibo and call on my fans to support me!" Wu Han said calmly, "With just my face alone, a single word from me can make millions of fans come to watch the movie. What right does Huo Yuanjia have to compete with us?!"
…
"Grandmaster Ye, we really have to thank you this time. This is a small token of our Lu Group's appreciation. We hope you won't mind." The Lu father and son sent Ye Lingchen to 1 Mountain View and pushed a bank card in front of Ye Lingchen.
"There's a total of 35 million in here. Just enough to round up 500 million for you, Grandmaster Ye," Lu Hao said with a fawning expression.
He feared Ye Lingchen from the bottom of his heart. Firstly, he was good at fighting. Secondly, he had a strong background, and even his gambling skills were superb. After spending some time with Ye Lingchen, he realized that no matter who it was, anyone who went against Ye Lingchen would not end up well.
Ye Lingchen nodded and accepted the bank card without hesitation.
Zhang Yunxi had gone to take care of the cosmetic store and was not at home. Ye Lingchen gave Miyako a creepy smile, sending chills down her spine. She could not help but take a few steps back and asked cautiously with a frown, "What are you trying to do?"
"Since you're at my house, a maid should naturally look like a maid." Ye Lingchen said as he tossed a maid outfit to Miyako. "Change into this, then clean up the house. Don't forget to trim the garden outside too!"
"I advise you not to cross the line!"
Miyako's eyes narrowed, shooting a cold glare at Ye Lingchen. "I'm the Gambling King's disciple. If you offend me for a moment of pleasure, I guarantee you'll spend the rest of your life in regret!"
"Oh? You're acting all high and mighty now? " Ye Lingchen looked at Miyako with interest. He had long guessed that Miyako would not give in so easily.
"Hehe, since you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, I'll tell you!" Miyako sneered and said coolly, "You can't imagine the Gambling King's influence. Once they find out that I'm here, you'll never have a day of peace! He can just send a few people and you'll be begging for death! "
"If you're willing to bet, you must be willing to pay the price. I can let go of your previous rudeness! However, it's important to know one's place. If you dare disrespect me again, don't blame me for being rude to you! "
Miyako exuded a cold aura, arrogant and noble. At that moment, her temperament was on full display. As expected of the Gambling King's disciple, it was difficult for others to look at her directly. She was definitely a goddess that ordinary people could never hope to reach.
"You seem to have forgotten your own identity. You've even forgotten that this is not your Sun Nation! It's our great China! " Ye Lingchen's expression was calm. 'I'll give you a chance.' "Do as I say immediately. Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you how to be a good maid."
"You're asking for it!"
Miyako's expression darkened. With a cold snort, she raised her right leg. Her slender leg was like a whip, drawing an arc in the air and kicking towards Ye Lingchen!
Ye Lingchen raised his brows. 'This chick really did practice martial arts.'
With a casual lift, he easily caught Miyako's beautiful leg in his hand.
Miyako's expression changed slightly. She took the opportunity to wrap around Ye Lingchen while her other leg swept horizontally, preparing to hook Ye Lingchen's neck!
Her body was extremely soft, as though she did not have any bones.
Ye Lingchen's expression remained unchanged. He reached out with his other hand and grabbed the other leg that was sweeping towards him. In an instant, Ye Lingchen's hands were each holding one of Miyako's legs. Moreover, his face was extremely close to Miyako's body. That position was extremely ambiguous.
"Put me down right now. Otherwise, I swear I'll make sure you die a horrible death!" Miyako's face flushed red and immediately shouted at Ye Lingchen.
"You dare to swear?"
Ye Lingchen's expression darkened. 'This maid refuses to be disciplined. She's challenging the authority of this prodigy!'
He grabbed both of Miyako's legs with both hands and swept Miyako horizontally into his arms. Following that, he sat on the sofa, raised his right hand, and swung it down at Miyako's buttocks!
"Smack!"
