"I'm sorry, Little Chen. I'm not too sure about the current situation. Please tell me everything in detail." Liu Chao didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He only thought that Zhuo Wei and Chen Guang had a simple quarrel.
As he spoke, Liu Chao looked at Chen Guang casually, but he was actually carefully sizing him up. Secretly, he thought more highly of this young man. There weren't many young people in Da Chuan Province who could chat with him without batting an eyelid. At least, Chen Guang was one of them.
But he didn't know that in Yan Jing, not to mention Liu Chao, I've been chatting happily with people who are many times older than you, okay?
The Old Man had a big heart. That was how confident he was.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. I heard that Zhuo Wei and Eight Weekly's backer is you, Mr. Liu, right?"
Liu Chao shook his head. "No, to be precise, I'm the boss of Eight Weekly. Zhuo Wei is considered to be working for me. He only has shares, and I give him a bonus every year."
Liu Chao admitted that he was a hoodlum and very generous.
"That's even better."
Chen Guang grinned and told Liu Chao everything that had happened in the past few days. From Zhuo Xiaowei's rudeness in the parking lot, to Zhuo Wei's failure to bring his bodyguards to the press conference, to the first time he sent someone to spy on them that night, and then to the overwhelming amount of scandals on the internet. Then, there were the negotiations between Chen Guang and Zhuo Wei, from two million to twenty million, and then to thirty million. In the end, everyone from Eight Weekly was sent to the hospital yesterday. Zhuo Wei was probably a commander without an army now.
Chen Guang didn't hide anything from Liu Chao. Since he was the real boss of Eight Weekly, these things would sooner or later reach his ears from other sources.
Liu Chao's brows gradually furrowed. He could imagine how much pain Zhuo Wei was in. Although he didn't interfere with the actual management of Eight Weekly, Liu Chao could roughly estimate how much money Eight Weekly had invested.
"It was my negligence that something like this happened. In that case, I apologize to you on behalf of Zhuo Wei."
Liu Chao pondered for a moment and finally said.
Chen Guang raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Liu Chao was indeed planning to help Zhuo Wei with this matter.
Chen Guang looked at Liu Chao playfully. "Oh? That's it? "
Liu Chao was a little unhappy. In his understanding, as long as he apologized, even if the grudge was as big as the sky, it would be over. Looking at Da Chuan Province and even the whole country, his apology was usually enough.
Because of Wang Guoxiong and his son, I have given you enough face. You should know when to stop, right?
After all, this wasn't a big deal. Which celebrity hadn't been defamed before? In the past, when I was defamed by others, who dared or had the ability to find me? Artists and actors should have the self-awareness of actors and shouldn't think of themselves as important just because they're famous.
It seemed like Liu Chao didn't know that Chen Guang was Jin Shiyue's boyfriend. Of course, even if he knew, it wouldn't be a problem. His status as the Emperor's son-in-law hadn't been decided yet, so he didn't have the ability to ride roughshod over him.
"Of course, I'll talk to Zhuo Wei later and ask him to restrain himself. Let's end this matter here. What else do you want? "
Liu Chao was getting more and more impatient. "Alright, we still have things to do. You and Lil 'Wang can talk among yourselves. We have a very important guest to receive later."
Seeing that Liu Chao was Wang Qing's elder, Chen Guang was still polite. However, his attitude seemed like he couldn't continue the conversation if he didn't show some sincerity.
"Mr. Liu, don't be in a hurry to leave. Since I'm here, I have to tell you everything. My attitude is that it's not enough for you to greet him and restrain yourself. Even if he stops now, my reputation will still be in tatters, right? I'm afraid he'll have to come out and publicly apologize. "
Chen Guang said slowly, word by word. Liu Chao, who was about to turn and leave, stopped in his tracks and turned back.
Liu Chao was so angry that he almost laughed. "Young man, don't be too rash with your words and actions. Leave some leeway so that we can meet again in the future."
Chen Guang shrugged. "That's what I said to Zhuo Wei before, but he didn't want to give me any leeway. Also, it was your people who were causing trouble from the beginning. Now you're telling me to give him some leeway? "
Liu Chao turned around abruptly and used his fingers to lightly tap on the glass of the bar counter. His expression turned cold. "The most I can do is make Zhuo Wei shut up, but I can't make him apologize. Eight Weekly's people have already been injured by you, and I'm not asking you for medical fees. Moreover, if Zhuo Wei publicly apologizes to you now, it'll be a huge blow to Eight Weekly's reputation in the industry. Do you understand? Actually, I've already given in to you. Even if I stop now, the millions that Zhuo Wei previously invested would have gone down the drain. "
Chen Guang was almost defeated by his logic. It was your people who wanted to cause trouble for me. You spent money to find people to slander me and force me to submit. You still have the cheek to say that your money has gone down the drain?
You're quite thick-skinned.
"I don't think I forced Zhuo Wei to make things difficult for me, right? No matter how much money your people invested and how many injuries they suffered, they only have themselves to blame. You can't blame me, can you? "
Chen Guang rubbed his nose, and his expression turned colder.
Liu Chao finally waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, that's it. You youngsters can play by yourselves."
After he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and quickly returned to the sofa to sit down.
Wang Guoxiong noticed that the atmosphere was a little off. He wanted to say something, but Liu Chao took the initiative to change the topic. He looked at his watch first. "Mr. Bai will be here in about ten minutes. Where were we?"
Wang Guoxiong and Yin Laosi knew that he didn't want to talk about Chen Guang anymore. They sighed in their hearts, but they didn't say anything else.
Standing up, Wang Guoxiong called Wang Qing back and patted on the latter's shoulder before giving a signal to his son. "Wang Qing, bring Chen Guang to the inner field to play. There's something that you youngsters like to play there."
Wang Guoxiong blinked. He wanted to get involved in this matter, but now wasn't the time. He hinted to Wang Qing that they should discuss it privately after they were done with business.
However, Wang Qing shook his head slightly and mouthed to his father, "Brother Guang told us not to talk."
Wang Guoxiong was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. He nodded slightly to show that he understood. He then sat down and continued to talk about the new energy project with Fourth Master Yin and Liu Chao.
Chen Guang glanced at the three of them from afar. A cold glint flickered in his eyes. For a split second, he almost wanted to attack Liu Chao.
However, he felt that it was meaningless to do so as it would only make things difficult for Wang Qing. Since that's the case, don't blame me for putting up a front. You guys can talk about business first. I'll get Secretary Chu to talk to you on behalf of the old master. You'll know how it feels then.
Xin Qin glanced at Liu Chao but didn't say anything. Instead, she went to sit beside Chen Guang and Wang Qing's table. She leaned against Chen Guang and fiddled with her fingers in boredom.
Among everyone present, Liu Chao's bodyguard, Tie Xinzhu, was the one who felt the most uneasy.
Xin Qin's calm gaze was especially terrifying in Tie Xinzhu's eyes.
He turned his head slightly to look at Liu Chao, who was chatting happily with the other two men. Then, he looked at Xin Qin, who was leaning against Chen Guang. Tie Xinzhu was having a headache. What exactly did you talk about with that young man? She's the Thousand Despair Sect's Senior Sister!
If anything happens, I won't be able to protect you this time.
"Brother Guang, did it break down?" Wang Qing asked in a low voice.
Chen Guang grunted. "It did."
"My head hurts." Wang Qing rubbed his forehead.
"There's nothing to worry about. You should've told me first. I was mentally prepared, but it's not a big deal."
Chen Guang was calm. After all, he had decided to use his trump card.
After a while, Lu Fei and Zhong Bai arrived at almost the same time. Seeing that Chen Guang was also there, they gathered together and chatted happily.
Lu Fei, in particular, dragged Chen Guang to a large sofa nearby and made fun of a beautiful girl like Xin Qin. Then, she pressed herself against Chen Guang's body and groped him.
Chen Guang had been longing for Lu Fei for a long time. It was rare to see Lu Fei again, and now that she was secretly touching his back and butt, his hands were no longer honest. He cast aside his worries and was so happy that he didn't know what was going on.
Among everyone present, only Wang Qing felt the most pained. He wondered where Chen Guang's courage came from. He had just broken down, but he had completely forgotten about it.
Lu Fei and Zhong Bai seemed to want to ask about Chen Guang being defamed on the Internet these past few days, but Chen Guang stopped them.
Compared to Liu Chao, whether it was Wang Qing, Lu Fei, or Zhong Bai, they were all juniors. Junior's face was not that useful in front of their elders, and they didn't want to make things more difficult for others.
"Right, I heard that today's reception is mainly for a person about our age from Yan Jing. Who is it?"
Zhong Bai asked.
Wang Qing thought for a moment. "I think it's the vice president of Tianjin Energy. He's quite a powerful person, and he's almost as famous as Brother Xiao Kai."
Chen Guang's heart skipped a beat. "Bai Hua?"
"Yes, it's Bai Hua. Brother Guang, you know him too? I thought you didn't care about these things at all. "Wang Qing was surprised.
Zhong Bai said, "I heard that Bai Hua is quite handsome."
Lu Fei spat. "How can he be more handsome than Chen Guang?"
"Yes, yes, your Brother Guang is the most handsome man in the world, so handsome that it's tragic."
Zhong Bai rolled his eyes.
Chen Guang was in no mood to pay attention to these people's jesting. Instead, he was sweating profusely. The moment Bai Hua's name was mentioned, he was reminded of his unbearable experience.
Seriously, he was tricked by Lin Jingwei.
Crossdressing, twice, and the second time, he was seen through by Jiang Yage.
Now that he was back in Wu Jing, he thought that his interaction with Brother Bai would end here, and there would be no more opportunities to interact with him in the future. In the end, why did you come to Wu Jing, and of all things, today's reception was to be the one to receive you?
He was a little tempted to run away.
But he felt that something was wrong. He was walking upright, so why should he be afraid of Bai Hua?
Strange, why am I already standing at the entrance?
Forget it, don't bother about these details. The Old Man would leave first. Seeing this guy annoyed him. It's better to hide outside and wait for their reception to end before looking for Liu Chao in private.
