No matter what the occasion was, there would always be many circles formed, and those with different identities would be in different circles.
Just like at the cocktail party now, the Hollywood stars were in one group, the Wall Street bosses were in another group, and finally, David Stehr, Max Garcia, and a few other bosses were in another group.
In addition, the big circle was divided into countless small circles, and everyone chatted in groups of three or five.
Zhao Wanqing was the wife of the richest man in the world, the wife of the boss of Marvel Comics, and a superstar herself. No matter which circle she was in, no one dared to be disrespectful to her.
While Xiao Yunhai was talking to the bosses, Zhao Wanqing also came to the celebrity circle and chatted happily with several female Hollywood stars.
Not far away, there were several male stars above the A-list, all of whom were slender, had extraordinary temperaments, and looked more handsome than the other. Among them was Billy Cueller.
His alcohol tolerance was average, and he seemed to have drunk too much, as his body swayed gently.
A star looked at the smiling Zhao Wanqing and sighed. "Miss Zhao is really beautiful. I've seen many Asian stars, but in terms of appearance and temperament, Miss Zhao is number one. No wonder she's called a goddess by her fans. "
"Nonsense, Mr. Xiao is the richest man in the world, how can his wife not be beautiful? I say, everyone, who here dares to propose a toast to Miss Zhao? "A young star provoked.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to go over.
What a joke, their status was too far apart from hers. If they gave her face and said a few words, it would be fine. If they didn't give her face, then it would be really embarrassing.
Because of what happened at the airport, Billy Cueller was already dissatisfied with Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing. Now that he had drunk too much, his brain was not listening to him.
"Look at you guys, aren't you just going to have a drink? What's there to be afraid of? "
Hearing his words, everyone was a little unhappy.
Someone said, "You're good, you go."
Billy Cueller said, "I'll go."
Taking advantage of his good relationship with Franklin, Billicuele had his own temper in the company and in the circle. His interpersonal relationships were average.
Seeing him walk unsteadily towards Zhao Wanqing with the wine in his hand, no one tried to stop him. They were all waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Zhao Wanqing was having a heated conversation with the Oscar -winning actress, Alyssa Annie, so she didn't see Billy Quiller.
Alysanne nudged her and said, "Zhao, Mr. Quiller from Paramount Pictures seems to be coming towards you. It looks like he wants to have a drink with you. "
Zhao Wanqing glanced at him and frowned. "But I don't know him."
Alysanne said, "I think he's a little drunk. You have to be careful. He's known for his bad temper in the circle. You'd better ask Mr. Xiao to come. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "No need."
Zhao Wanqing had practiced Eight Trigrams Palm to the realm of Obvious Strength. Although she lacked fighting experience, it was more than enough to deal with someone who didn't know Kung Fu.
Soon, Billy Quiller came in front of Zhao Wanqing and said drunkenly, "Miss Zhao, can I have the honor of having a drink with you?"
Zhao Wanqing nodded and said, "Of course."
She picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter and clinked it with Billy Quiller's before taking a sip. As for Billy Quiller, he downed the entire glass of red wine.
Seeing that the wine in Zhao Wanqing's cup didn't seem to be touched at all, Billy Quiller felt somewhat embarrassed. He said discontentedly, "Miss Zhao, aren't you giving me too little face?"
Zhao Wanqing didn't want to lower herself to the level of a drunk man. She said, "I'm sorry, my alcohol tolerance is limited. I can't drink too much."
Alysanne said, "Quiller, it's already very nice of Miss Zhao to have a drink with you. Don't bother with other issues. Zhao, let's go. I'll introduce you to some other Hollywood actresses. "
Zhao Wanqing nodded and was about to turn and leave when she suddenly felt her arm being pulled by a hand.
"Miss Zhao, I came to toast you with good intentions. You can't treat me like this," Billy Quiller said with a red face.
Zhao Wanqing's arm shook, and she broke free from his hand. She said angrily, "Show me some respect. It's my freedom to drink as much as I want. I didn't ask you to toast me. "
Zhao Wanqing's voice was a little loud, and it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
Xiao Yunhai heard his wife's voice and quickly came forward. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Wanqing said, "He's drunk and making trouble."
Xiao Yunhai's face sank. He stared at Billy Quiller's eyes like a sharp sword and said, "I don't care if you're really drunk or pretending to be drunk. You'd better stay away from my wife. Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you a lesson. "
Billy Quiller was already very dissatisfied with Xiao Yunhai and his wife stealing his limelight at the airport. After getting drunk, this dissatisfaction was magnified to the extreme. He said, "Why should I? I came to toast Miss Zhao, but she only took a sip. She's looking down on me too much. Kungfu Xiao, others may be afraid of you, but I'm not. "
Xiao Yunhai was tongue-tied when he heard his words. He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "If you can't hold your liquor well, then drink less, lest you embarrass yourself in public. Wife, forget it. This person is completely drunk. There's no need to be entangled with him. "
Zhao Wanqing nodded and said, "I wanted to leave, but he held on to me and wouldn't let go."
They wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but Billy Quiller went overboard. He said even more impudently, "Stop right there. Hmph, what's so great about you? To put it bluntly, you weren't even an artist in the beginning. Who knows how many rich people kept you. Who doesn't know about those things in the entertainment industry? Now that you're rich, you're pretending to be noble here. Bah … "
Just as he finished speaking, Billy Quiller felt his neck tighten. He received a heavy punch to his abdomen. Then, with a whoosh, he vomited all the alcohol and food he had eaten. The smell was terrible.
The one who made the move was naturally Xiao Yunhai.
His face was frighteningly gloomy. He kicked Billy Quiller to the ground and said coldly, "There's a saying in Hua Xia that 'trouble comes from the mouth.' Quiller, you're really bold. How dare you slander us here. I heard that you're Paramount's rising star. Very well, from now on, you're not. "
The alcohol that Billy Quiller drank was knocked out by Xiao Yunhai. He immediately sobered up. When he heard Xiao Yunhai's words, he said, "Why?"
Xiao Yunhai said coldly, "Because I'm the second largest shareholder of Steyr Networks, and Paramount is just a subsidiary under it. Mr. Steyr, you won't object, right? "
David Steyr smiled and said, "This person was disrespectful to Mr. Xiao and Miss Zhao. That's disrespectful to the Steyr board of directors. I'll talk to Paramount and ban him completely. From today onwards, he won't appear on the screen. "
David Steyr had no choice but to support Xiao Yunhai.
On such an occasion, if he didn't give Xiao Yunhai face, it was very likely that he would completely piss off Xiao Yunhai.
If Xiao Yunhai sold his shares to the Bass family in a fit of anger, then David Steyr would really be finished.
With his understanding of Xiao Yunhai, it wasn't that Xiao Yunhai couldn't do such a thing.
It was naturally impossible for Billy Quiller not to know David Stehr. He knew that he was the true boss of Paramount. Even his backer, Franklin, had to listen to him.
He didn't have any capital to compete with him at all.
Thinking of this, Billy Quiller broke out in a cold sweat and completely sobered up. He said, "Mr. Steyr, I was drunk and said something inappropriate. Please don't ban me no matter what."
David Steyr said, "You shouldn't ask me."
Billy Quiller hurriedly turned his head to look at Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing, then said, "Mister Xiao, Miss Zhao, I was muddle-headed after drinking. Please don't hold a grudge against this lowly one, and let me off."
Xiao Yunhai snorted. His expression did not carry a trace of pity as he coldly said: "Words spoken are like spilled water. You can't take them back."
With that, Xiao Yunhai took Zhao Wanqing's hand and left.
Two bodyguard-like figures came to Billy Quiller and said, "Mr. Quiller, please come out with us. You're no longer welcome here. "
Billy Quiller was carried out with a pale face.
Seeing him like this, the stars who had instigated him all laughed gloatingly.
"He thinks he's great all the time. Now he's honest."
"Hmph, he doesn't know who he is. Miss Zhao already gave him a lot of face by taking a sip of wine. He actually went overboard. It's so funny. "
"This Billy Quiller is a spoiled idiot. There's probably no place for him in Hollywood anymore. "
"That goes without saying. Kungfu Xiao and David Steyr have joined hands to ban him. Who dares to offend them and ask him to act in a movie? Isn't that courting death? "
What happened just now was like an interlude. It didn't cause any ripples in their hearts. After all, the gap between the two sides was too big.
