Emma stopped next to them. She first looked at Liu Yao and then at Felix. She, who had guessed what had happened, curled her lips into a cold smile.
"Mr. Felix, let me guess, you're using your boss' business card to swindle people again, right?"
"What do you mean swindle people? Please watch your words, Miss Watson. "The hooked nose looked at Emma as disgust flashed in Felix's eyes.
If it was a normal movie star, she certainly didn't have the right to speak to him like this. However, Emma was different. Somehow, she managed to get on Future Biology's coattails and became the spokesperson of nutrient supply. Although Future Biology's status among all the subsidiaries of Future Group was average, it was still attached to Future Group.
The second and third-tier stars of Warner Brothers were the only ones she couldn't touch.
He didn't dare to offend Future Group.
Since Future Technology's position in Hollywood had subtly replaced Industrial Light and Magic, VR shooting technology could save a lot of costs, and VR theaters were one of the box office channels that all film companies couldn't ignore.
Of course, not daring to offend her old boss didn't mean Felix didn't dare to offend her personally, such as taunting her.
"What's wrong? Miss Emma, do you want to dance with me? " Felix mocked, "I heard that the women's rights organization you recently joined is discussing firing you. I don't know if it's true? I heard they slandered you as a bitch wearing the skin of a saint, working for a boss who was criticized for not respecting women's rights. "
As an executive of Warner Brothers, he knew exactly where Emma's sore spot was. In her early years, in order to package herself as a "model woman with high education", she even put aside her acting career under the advice of her agency and frequently campaigned for gender equality. She even spoke on behalf of an organization at the United Nations …
However, her packaging undoubtedly failed, or rather, she didn't match up with the people responsible for "packaging" her. Whether she was a true feminist or not, there had been voices of doubt since the end of Harry Potter 7.
"Felix, let's not talk about my troubles. You should worry about your own situation first." Emma took a deep breath and looked at Felix with a mocking smile. "Don't you ever research the other party's background before you strike up a conversation?"
Felix's expression changed slightly as he stared at Liu Yao's face.
Upon closer inspection, the woman seemed somewhat familiar.
It was just that he couldn't figure out why she looked familiar.
To be honest, he was quite blind when it came to Asians, just like most of the white executives who were sent to Asia. Unless it was a celebrity who was very popular and had very distinctive looks, or he often came into contact with them in business, it was very difficult for him to recognize them at first glance.
"Excuse me, may I know your name, madam?" Felix forced himself to maintain his composure.
"Liu Yao."
Liu Yao …?
Never heard of it … Wait a minute.
Suddenly, Felix's expression changed so much that he broke out in cold sweat.
When he was first sent to Asia, he heard a rumor. When a movie invested by Future Technology held its overseas premiere in Yoto, the son of Morita Real Estate attempted to force himself on a Hua actress.
He didn't know what happened in the middle, but he had heard about the final outcome. Morita Real Estate, with a market value of trillions of yen, was uprooted, and both father and son were imprisoned. Rumor had it that the Sumitomo Consortium was behind it, and the Sumitomo Consortium had always been Celestial Trade's largest partner in the power output project in Nippon …
Cold sweat dripped down from his temples, and Felix gulped. He finally understood how the word "death" was written.
The boss of a listed company with a market value of trillions of yen was uprooted overnight, and he was just a manager of a Warner Brothers subsidiary.
Liu Yao might be that man's …
Liu Yao ignored Felix, who was scared to death by his own speculation, and turned to run away. She looked at Emma Watson with a slightly confused expression.
Although she also knew some stars in Hollywood, she didn't have much interaction with her. At most, they only exchanged a few words.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, it's nothing." Emma smiled and leaned forward slightly with the goblet in her hand. "If he continues to pester you, you can tell me. This is my business card."
[Continue to pester me?]
Liu Yao didn't think that after knowing her identity, the man would still dare to pester her.
However, she still smiled and appreciated Emma's good intentions.
Because they worked in the same field, and the two worked together on the Time Curtain, a film jointly funded by Warner and Future Group. After exchanging business cards with Emma, Liu Yao walked to the side with her and chatted happily.
One had the face of an angel and the body of a devil, and the other had the temperament of a British princess. When the two beauties stood together, they naturally attracted countless eyes, but no one came forward to chat.
After all, at a banquet of this level, idiots like Felix were the minority. Most people would use their brains to think about the consequences of their actions before thinking with their lower body.
The two chatted surprisingly well.
The topic quickly changed from the entertainment industry to the gossip that every woman was passionate about, and as they chatted, the topic shifted to the two of them.
Emma was a little surprised that Liu Yao directly admitted that she was Jiang Chen's lover, but she didn't say anything.
She was not surprised that Liu Yao was Jiang Chen's lover. In the entertainment industry, it was not a secret at all. She had heard about it a long time ago. What she was really surprised about was Liu Yao's calm attitude. Most people were very secretive about this kind of thing, and Emma was very considerate and didn't actively touch on this topic. She didn't expect Liu Yao herself to not care about it at all and directly admitted it.
"Are you not going to dance with him?" Emma looked in the direction of the banquet hall and asked.
"No need." Liu Yao gently shook her head.
"Why?"
"Because I came here to see him, and I've already seen him." Liu Yao's lips curled into a smile.
"That's it?" Emma asked.
"That's it."
Emma looked at Liu Yao with a rather puzzled expression, but she didn't say anything about it.
"Actually." Looking at the center of the banquet hall, Liu Yao faintly sighed and whispered, "In fact, a long time ago, I also thought about trying to catch up to his footsteps, but I didn't expect that unknowingly, he had already walked to a place that was unreachable."
Perhaps deep in her heart, she yearned for the life in Wanghai.
But she was also very clear.
Going back to the past was impossible.
Towards the end of the dance party, Emma bid farewell to her.
Standing alone on the dance floor, Liu Yao sipped the champagne in her glass while quietly admiring the men and women hugging on the dance floor with a faint smile on her face. From time to time, people came up to talk to her, but she tactfully rejected them. Until the last song began, the banquet gradually came to an end.
She returned from the dance floor to the banquet hall.
She didn't know when, but the figure sitting at the long table had disappeared.
Withdrawing her searching gaze, Liu Yao faintly sighed and walked out of the banquet hall with the crowd.
The sea breeze blew through the window of the corridor, the distant sea rippled, and the bright moon was beautiful and cool in the deep night.
Immersed in the night view outside the window, she didn't even notice the road in front of her and accidentally bumped into the person in front of her.
She exclaimed in a small voice.
Liu Yao, who lost her balance, fell backward.
Just as she closed her eyes and thought she was going to suffer, a hand passed through her waist and embraced her as she almost fell to the ground.
Their chests were almost pressed together, and the tip of her nose could even feel the warm air.
Liu Yao's eyebrows furrowed and her cheeks were flushed. Just as she was about to get angry, she realized that the face right in front of her was the man she yearned for day and night …
Tears uncontrollably gushed out from the corner of her eyes.
"Beautiful lady, can I ask you for a dance?"
Jiang Chen used his free hand to gently push aside the hair on her cheek. He stared at the pretty face inches away from him and said with a smirk.
