As it was an invitation from an elder, Mo Ting couldn't reject it. So, he decided to attend on his own. He knew Tangning wouldn't like the restrained atmosphere.
As for the rumor that Tangning was keeping ghosts, there was no evidence to prove it. Plus, Hai Rui had already done everything they could to keep the news under wraps.
Inside the luxurious palace-like clubhouse, the red wine towers were stacked high up. At an event like this, practically all of the business elites in Beijing were gathered. So, Mo Ting could only be considered a little experienced.
In terms of seniority, he would need his father or grandfather to shock everyone present. Of course, Mo Ting didn't like to compare himself to others, even if the number of people present was in the billions.
"President Mo, you have been quite popular in Beijing recently," someone approached Mo Ting with a glass of wine and ridiculed him.
Mo Ting's lips curved upwards as he returned the compliment, "I heard your daughter really likes one of the male artists under me. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
In other words, everyone knew that his daughter was a celebrity chaser, but he wasn't any better!
The man smiled awkwardly, "In front of President Mo, I never get the upper hand."
"I didn't win either," Mo Ting laughed.
"Why isn't your wife here yet?"
"She likes silence," Mo Ting replied.
"President Shao over there has been talking about a lot of interesting things in the entertainment industry. President Mo, why don't you go over and have a look?" the man pointed to the lawn as he spoke.
"In that case, I'll excuse myself." After speaking, Mo Ting turned around and headed towards the lawn. At this time, President Shao was surrounded by a few women. Of course, there were also a few men trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful.
"Sigh, CEO Shao, I've heard that there'll be a backlash if you raise little ghosts. Some people clearly don't have any celestial fate, yet they forcefully change their fate. Either they suffer a backlash, or they'll implicate the people around them. A woman wearing a short black dress sat beside President Shao as she sipped on a glass of red wine.
"I know right, that's why I ran away so quickly... To be honest, Tangning..." the woman clicked her tongue. "If it wasn't for Hai Rui, I wouldn't have accepted her in the first place."
"Mr. Shao, keep your voice down. Mr. Mo is also here today." Another slightly plump woman laughed.
"Even if President Mo comes, I'm not afraid. This is the business world. Relationships can only be discussed at the right time …" President Shao laughed. "Time will prove that I'm wise …"
"Time will never prove the wisdom of the foolish. Time does not have the function of making people wise."
Behind them, Mo Ting's voice rang out. Everyone's body trembled, suddenly feeling awkward as if they had been caught red-handed.
Gossiping behind someone's back was the most frightening thing to be exposed like this.
"President Mo …"
Boss Shao also restrained his frivolity just now and suddenly became a little more reserved.
"I think your crew will be dismissed today. Do you believe me?" Mo Ting smirked as he raised the glass in his hand towards President Shao.
"CEO Mo, you …"
"Didn't you say that my wife is raising little ghosts? Since she's raising little ghosts, then it's impossible that I don't know some Qimen escape techniques, right? I predicted that the crew of 'Hidden Expert' would be dismissed today. Do you believe me? "
President Shao's expression turned ugly as his face turned red and white, "President Mo, don't you think you're being a little cruel by saying that?"
"Is it too cruel to say that my wife is raising little ghosts?"
"That's what the media said …"
"Really?" Mo Ting's smile deepened. "Don't tell me you're not working with someone to slander my wife? Is the safety of your crew guaranteed? "
"Mo Ting … if you say something like this, we're going to have a falling out," after speaking, President Shao stood up from his chair as the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this time, an elegant woman dressed in a white qipao approached the two men and asked, "What's going on?"
"Auntie, a little private matter."
"That's good," the elegant woman nodded her head. After greeting Mo Ting, she turned and left. At this time, Mo Ting spoke calmly.
"I'm sure President Shao knows the woman that just left. She's Bei Chendong's mother. But, President Shao … "Mo Ting looked at President Shao with a dangerous expression. After a moment of silence, he continued," Did I mention that Bei Chendong and I are cousins? "
President Shao's eyes grew wide as his heart skipped a beat...
"President Shao is right. In the business world, relationships should only be mentioned at the right time … In that case, I wish you all the best of luck." After speaking, Mo Ting turned around with a smile, leaving President Shao standing in the same spot; he didn't know what to do.
'Hidden Expert' was a film that was tailor-made for Bei Chendong. If anything happened to Bei Chendong, then all his previous investments would go to waste.
He was originally going to make a huge profit …
But now …
President Shao wiped his face in regret as he scolded himself for being stupid. If he had known that Mo Ting would agree so easily, there must have been a trap. Yet, he insisted on plucking the hair from the tiger's mouth. He was digging his own grave.
Was he going to sit back and watch all his resources sink into the ocean?
After thinking for a moment, President Shao suddenly chased after Mo Ting, "President Mo, can we have a chat? This incident was all my fault. I'm sure you won't hold it against me, right? "
Mo Ting freed himself from President Shao's grip and said coldly, "You can humiliate me, but you can't humiliate my wife."
After speaking, Mo Ting lifted his wrist and looked at the quartz watch on his wrist, "The press conference should be starting soon, right?"
President Shao's face turned pale. After Mo Ting left, he immediately pulled out his phone and called his assistant.
On the other side of the phone, his assistant said anxiously, "President Shao, Bei Chendong has announced his withdrawal from the film using this incident as an excuse. Quick, look at the news …"
…
Bei Chendong rarely accepted interviews because of his eccentric personality. But, for a national treasure like him, as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone would be convinced. After all, the entire nation knew that he couldn't be bothered to lie.
"This incident was caused by someone on set. Plus, the person responsible is still on the run and the police are still looking for him."
"As for me … I wasn't implicated by Tangning. I simply saved her because it was a man's instinct."
"However, an accident like this was used by people with ulterior motives and spread all over the place. It's intolerable."
"So, the rumor that Tangning was bitten by a ghost is a completely false rumor."
"As for me, Bei Chendong, if the crew can't provide an explanation for this incident and can't guarantee my safety, I will announce my withdrawal from the production of 'Hidden Expert'."
"Film fans, whether you believe me or the crew, it's up to you …"
Bei Chendong's words were straightforward …
He was this straightforward …
How could fans believe the crew?!
