Although the headquarters of Shengtang Pharmaceutical Company was in Ninghai, it would open a branch in Yan Jing sooner or later.
Originally, he did not take this matter seriously, but the appearance of the three Ancient Warriors, Jiang Wuhui, Green Bamboo, and Yan Tong, made him realize that there were many hidden talents in Yan Jing, and it was not so simple.
At a time when he wasn't completely confident that he could deal with all kinds of dangers, it might not be a bad thing to form a good relationship with the Bai family's old man and borrow the Bai family's power.
"Alright, it's settled then."
Bai Qing said happily.
The group of people came to the restaurant of the Yan Jing Hotel. Luo Zhicheng declined Ding Ning's invitation to have a meal together and booked a table with his subordinates in the next room.
Even when they were eating, they took turns to eat, always keeping two people guarding at the door of Ding Ning's private room. Every dish had to be tested for poison before being served, which made the waiters of Yan Jing Restaurant think that some country's head of state was eating here.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Ding Ning's previous gloominess was quickly swept away, and he chatted happily with Bai Qing.
While toasting, Ding Ning suddenly thought of Jiang Yimeng. He chuckled and joked, "I came here on the same plane as Superstar Jiang. Why didn't you … with her?"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Bai Qing almost spat out a mouthful of wine. He coughed repeatedly, winked at him, and his expression became extremely unnatural.
Ding Ning immediately came to his senses and realized that he had said something wrong. Everyone knew that these young masters from rich and powerful families liked to play with stars, but it could never be said as a topic of conversation.
In particular, Xiao Guo 'er, the little mischievous girl, was here. Who knew if she would spread out her childish words.
Ding Ning glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that Xiao Guo 'er was eavesdropping with her big black grape-like eyes. He immediately changed his tone. "I remember that Superstar Jiang is an actor signed by your entertainment company, right? Did he come to Beijing for a concert or a movie? Why didn't you come with your boss? "
As soon as the topic changed, it changed from love news to work, which made Bai Qing heave a long sigh of relief. He said with a smile, "She came to Yan Jing to participate in the Campus-star Competition you mentioned before."
"She participated in Campus-star? Wasn't she a superstar? Why did he participate in a talent show like Campus-star? "
Ding Ning's eyes widened in astonishment, and her head did not turn around. She thought that if she participated in the competition, others would have nothing to do with it. Wasn't this nonsense?
"Brother-in-law, you are so stupid. The Campus-star Competition needs judges, and Sister Jiang Yimeng is definitely here to be a judge."
Xiao Guo 'er despised Ding Ning like an old lady, which made him feel ashamed and suddenly enlightened.
"Yes, if the Campus-star Competition wants to attract the audience's attention and improve the ratings, it naturally needs to invite famous stars to be the judges. Jiang Yimeng is an A-list star, so it is impossible for her to participate in this kind of talent show. She must be a judge!" Immediately, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Guo is so smart."
"Of course, Fruit is the smartest, right, Moneybag?"
Xiao Guo 'er was a child. When she was praised, she always wanted to be recognized by her peers and showed off to Yagyuu Asamayu with a proud face.
However, Yagyuu Asamayu's foodie attribute might have been activated by Xiao Guo 'er. At this moment, she was busy dealing with a shredded apple. Hearing her words, she just uttered a "hmm" and continued to eat heartily, making Xiao Guo' er depressed.
"Money bag? This name is unique. "
Bai Qing glanced at Yagyuu Asamayu in surprise. In his impression, Ding Ning was surrounded by beautiful women, but when did he have this ordinary-looking girl?
In particular, Ding Ning did not mean to introduce her to him from the beginning to the end, and this ordinary-looking Money Bag obviously had no interest in greeting him, which made him more curious.
"This is my sister Ding Luoyu, whose nickname is Money Bag. She is … ahem!"
Ding Ning gave a brief introduction, pointed at his head, and blinked. Bai Qing suddenly understood that Ding Ning's sister had a mental problem. No wonder her behavior was so abnormal.
However, he soon felt puzzled that Xiao Guo 'er called Ding Ning brother-in-law. He knew that Xiao Nuo of the Xiao Family was in Ninghai, but he really did not know the intimate relationship between Ding Ning and Xiao Nuo, so he asked curiously, "Why does Guo' er call you brother-in-law?"
"Because he is my sister's boyfriend. What else can I call him if not brother-in-law?"
Ding Ning blushed. Before he had time to speak, Xiao Guo 'er pouted and answered vaguely.
"Oh, I see. You are awesome, brother. You have a beauty in such a short time. Let me toast to you."
Bai Qing looked at Ding Ning ambiguously, picked up the wine glass, and drank it up.
He suddenly remembered that Ding Ning saved Xiao Yan last night and directly regarded the sister Xiao Guo 'er mentioned as Xiao Yan. He sighed inwardly, "It is good to have excellent medical skills. A beauty can throw herself into his arms when he casually saves a beauty. Xiao Guo' er even calls him brother-in-law. It seems that the Xiao Family has approved of him."
Ding Ning drank a glass of wine in silence, feeling a little perturbed. He and Xiao Nuo did have an ambiguous relationship, but it was not the time to talk about marriage.
Xiao Guo 'er came to find him and called him brother-in-law. Was it her own idea or the idea of the Xiao Family? This made him feel a little uneasy, so he directly ignored Bai Qing's ambiguous eyes and his teasing words.
This made Bai Qing more certain that Ding Ning had hooked up with Xiao Yan, and it was very likely that they had a substantial relationship, and he had been approved by the Xiao Family.
Otherwise, with the family background of the Xiao Family, Xiao Guo 'er would never allow Xiao Guo' er to call him brother-in-law again and again when they were not yet married.
He did not know that Xiao Guo 'er sneaked out and called him brother-in-law because he was Xiao Nuo's boyfriend, which created a wonderful misunderstanding for him.
"By the way, brother, what are the names of your two younger sisters? Do you need me to tell Jiang Yimeng about it? "
Bai Qing had never paid attention to talent shows like the Campus-star Competition, and he offered to help voluntarily because he wanted to get closer to Ding Ning.
"No need. Since it is a competition, it should be fair and just. Let them fight for it with their own abilities. Whatever rank they can get is a demonstration of their strength."
Ding Ning waved his hand noncommittally. He did not want Ye Huan and her sister to really enter the entertainment circle, but it was related to Sun Lanying's dream, so he could not stop them. Therefore, he did not want to interfere with the result of this competition and just let it be.
If they could get the first place and be chosen by an entertainment company and sign a contract with them, it would mean that they were destined to enter the entertainment circle, and he would not oppose it.
But if they failed, they would just give up, which was also in line with his intention.
Bai Qing did not think so and said with a chuckle, "How fair and just do you think this kind of competition is?"
"What do you mean? Is there any other explanation? "
Ding Ning frowned. Although he did not support Ye Huan and her sister to enter the entertainment circle, it did not mean that he wanted to see them suffer unfair treatment.
"You don't understand it. This year's Campus-star Competition is jointly sponsored and held by three entertainment companies, Tianhai, Star Art, and Meteorite. Our Tiangong Entertainment did not participate in it."
Bai Qing took a sip of wine and said calmly, "The Campus-star Competition is held once a year and recruits potential singers from all the universities in the country. Those who can enter the semi-finals will attract the attention of major entertainment companies. That is to say, your two younger sisters can enter the semi-finals with their own abilities without any relationship, which shows that they have strong training value. Now, they must have been chosen by one or more entertainment companies. The reason why no one has talked about signing a contract with them is that they are waiting for the final result of the competition."
"Do you mean that even if they don't get a place in the competition, they will sign a contract with an entertainment company?"
Ding Ning instantly understood that Ye Huan and her sister had now half stepped into the entertainment circle, which made him feel lost and happy for them.
"Not necessarily!"
Bai Qing shook his head with a chuckle and said meaningfully, "It depends on how strong their desire to enter the entertainment circle is."
Ding Ning was very dissatisfied with his vague way of talking and kept him guessing. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him expressionlessly without saying anything.
Bai Qing's hair stood on end under his gaze. He raised his hands as if surrendering and said helplessly, "Isn't Guo and Money Bag here? I can't say some things too straightforwardly, but you should know the unspoken rules in the entertainment circle. "
Ding Ning trembled all over. How could he not know the unspoken rules? He said with a livid face, "Do you mean they also need unspoken rules to sign a contract?"
"It's not absolute, but someone will definitely hint at it. That's why I said it depends on how strong their desire to be a star is. If their desire is strong, the possibility of them being unspoken rules is more than 90%. Let me tell you this, those who can successfully enter the top three must pay a certain price unless they are geniuses who can make major entertainment companies fight for them crazily without abiding by the unspoken rules."
Bai Qing talked about the trick with an indifferent look.
Ding Ning was silent. He knew the dirty rules in the entertainment circle, which was also the reason why he was always unwilling to let them enter the entertainment circle.
Although he gave them amulets to ensure that they would not be forced to accept the unspoken rules, if they were willing, those amulets would not work.
In his heart, he always regarded Ye Huan and her sister as his biological sisters, but when he thought that they might succumb to their strong desire to be a star, he felt very uncomfortable.
In particular, he remembered that he got acquainted with Ye Huan and her sister because they sold themselves in order to raise money for their mother's medical treatment.
Their filial piety was beyond doubt, so in order to fulfill their mother's last wish, it was not impossible for them to accept the unspoken rules.
Bai Qing observed Ding Ning's expression. When he saw Ding Ning's gloomy face, he knew that the two girls must have a very important position in his heart.
"He is really an affectionate person. Such a character is easy to be seized by others as a weakness to attack."
Bai Qing sighed with emotion in his heart. In his eyes, women were just daily necessities rather than necessities. Even marriage was just a naked exchange of interests.
Therefore, he disapproved of Ding Ning's caring attitude toward Ye Huan and her sister. Of course, if he knew that Ye Huan and her sister were still virgins, he might have subconsciously interpreted it in another way. After all, many men had a complex of virgins. Since he had not gotten them yet, he would certainly be unhappy if someone else got them first.
Ding Ning did not know his dirty thoughts, but he was thinking over and over how he should deal with this matter.
He was not sure what choice Ye Huan and her sister would make, but he was very clear that even if he forced his will to stop them from abandoning themselves to vice this time, he could not stop them for a lifetime.
As they entered the entertainment circle, they would face more and greater temptations in the future. It was impossible for him to stay with them all the time to protect them and control their lives with his own will.
Therefore, after a struggle, Ding Ning decisively chose not to interfere and see what choice they would make.
If they did not love themselves and chose to degenerate in order to achieve their goals, he would not say anything. After all, it was their own choice, and he would still treat Sun Lanying.
