Lin Che and Nangong found a place to sit down. Since they didn't like to socialize, they decided to just sit and drink.
Outsiders saw that Lin Che only sat with Nangong and ignored the others, but they thought that she was really arrogant.
Lin Che had wanted to be more sociable before, but now she didn't think so anymore. Those who liked her would always like her. Those who didn't like her would not like her even if she tried to cater to them. Even if she didn't seem sociable, she still had many friends in the industry. Moreover, the friends she made were like Nangong, who were kindred spirits. She felt more at ease.
However, now that Lin Che had won an award, not only the fans and the media were paying attention to her, but some people had also started to pay attention to her.
They felt that she had won an award and was very popular. She was like a cash cow.
Hence, when Lin Che and Nangong were sitting there, a man with a big belly walked over.
With a Taiwanese accent, he said, "Aiya, Miss Lin, how are you?"
Lin Che looked up politely. "Ah, hello … May I know who you are …"
"My surname is Hu, and my name is Hu Kaizhuang. I've been in the film industry for two years, but I've never had the opportunity to work with you."
So he was a businessman. It seemed that he was an investor, and that was why he was invited here as a guest.
Hu Kaizhuang sat down at the side and looked at Lin Che. He looked very refined and had the aura of a businessman.
However, Lin Che didn't know if it was because she had seen too many businessmen like Gu Jingze, but she felt uncomfortable with him.
Lin Che didn't want to appear too unsociable or arrogant. After all, there were so many reporters here.
She felt that she had been spoiled by the likes of Gu Jingze and Lu Beichen. That was why she felt that businessmen should be like this. But in fact, most businessmen should be like Mr. Hu, who was in front of her. They should be ordinary and conscientious in their business.
However, Lin Che's starting point was too high, and she had actually lived with Gu Jingze. That was why she felt that other businessmen were not so good.
He looked at Lin Che and said, "Miss Lin, congratulations on winning the award. Let me give you a toast first."
Lin Che smiled, looked at the red wine in his hand, and picked up his own juice.
When Hu Kaizhuang saw this, he quickly said, "Hey, today is Miss Lin's big day. How can you drink fruit juice? Seriously, I'll ask my secretary to bring red wine."
Lin Che said directly, "No need, sir. I don't drink."
Hu Kaizhuang said, "How can I do that? Does Miss Lin think that the wine here isn't good? Don't worry, how could I let Miss Lin drink the wine here? The wine here is indeed a little difficult to deal with. Are they all sponsored by a local winery? I'll get my secretary to bring my wine from the car."
"Ah, no, sir, you misunderstood. I don't want to drink any wine …"
"Ah … Miss Lin …" His face began to look a little gloomy and awkward, and the white flesh on his face looked a little conflicted. "Are you looking down on me?"
After all, Nangong was still at the side. At this moment, she caught his eye and said, "Mr. Hu, it's normal for girls not to drink. If you want to drink, I'll drink with you."
Hu Kaizhuang was an ordinary businessman. Although he had been involved in the film and television industry for more than two years, he actually only knew a little about it. He had invested a lot of money, but he hadn't gotten any returns. Because the films he produced were all lousy, no one bought them.
There were many businessmen like him now. They felt that filming TV shows and movies was profitable, and the cultural industry was getting more and more popular, so they wanted to get involved. However, they were indeed amateurs. They only knew one thing, and that was to invest money to buy some big stars to film a film. However, the money they invested was used to find big stars, and they didn't care about other things. They could change the director, the screenwriter, or anything else, but they had to choose famous actors.
The one thing they had in common was that they didn't care about the director.
So he looked at Nangong and snorted. "Who are you?"
After all, Nangong had been in this industry for a long time and had seen many bosses like this.
He smiled. "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that she doesn't want to drink."
Lin Che didn't want to blow things up. With the media around, it wouldn't look good. Moreover, it wasn't good for Nangong to offend people because of her. Thus, she stood up and said, "Mr. Hu, if you want to drink, why don't you find someone else? I really don't drink."
Hu Kaizhuang was instantly embarrassed. He glared at Lin Che and said, "Alright, alright. You're not going to give me any face? Let me tell Miss Lin, don't miss this opportunity. Although you're the Best Female Lead and the Best Actress now, there are always Best Actresses every year. Will you still be as popular next year? Humph, you're just an actress. "
Lin Che smiled. "I don't know how I'll be next year, but I can tell what opportunities are and what I don't want. So, I'm sorry, I don't think we're on the same page. If we're not on the same page, I won't waste any more words. Please."
Hu Kaizhuang was stunned. He had never met an artist who didn't give him any face.
Usually, an artist would put in a good word for an investor. After all, investors were different from others. They had money in their hands. Wouldn't it be better to have more connections than to offend someone? What if they invested in a big TV show or movie one day? Wouldn't they have a chance then?
But this Lin Che was actually so arrogant.
He said, "Ha, good, good. Don't say I didn't tell you. I'm just preparing to invest in a big IP. You'll regret it when the time comes."
Lin Che smiled. She really didn't regret it. She had only chosen the script to see if the production team could work with her.
Seeing that she had no intention of changing her attitude after what he said, Hu Kaizhuang harrumphed and left.
Nangong pulled Lin Che to sit down. "Alright, there are many people like this. They think they're God with money and can buy anything."
Lin Che said, "Some of the rich people I know aren't like this."
Although they were arrogant and insufferably arrogant, they wouldn't be this arrogant.
She shook her head, picked up the juice, and continued to drink.
As for that Hu Kaizhuang, he was cursing and swearing after he went out.
"What the hell is he? He's just an actor. I've never seen such an arrogant person. He just won an award. He's really something. He dares to offend anyone."
Yang Ling heard Hu Kaizhuang's complaints. His eyes moved as he walked over and said, "Ah, what's wrong? Boss Hu?"
She knew a lot of people like this. Because she attended a lot of dinner parties, she would always meet some bosses at them.
Of course, Hu Kaizhuang knew her as well. He immediately said, "Aiya, Miss Yang. Isn't it that Best Actress? She has a big reputation and doesn't give others any face."
Yang Ling smiled and said, "Really? How could she be like this? Those who can enter this place aren't ordinary investors. How could she not have the ability to judge?"
