1164: 802 Everyone is happy 1164: 802 Everyone is happy If we talk about Gangcheng’s entertainnt industry dominating an era.
Then sir Xiang was undoubtedly the ruler of Gangcheng’s entertainnt circle.
Wei Dongxu dared to defy the dignity of the veteran Zheng Baosen, but that did not an he dared to offend this abruptly arriving guest.
To fall out with Zheng Baosen would at most lead to being banned in Gangcheng, but the film market inland was booming, far outstripping Gangcheng, and many artists from Gangcheng were now making a living in the inland.
Therefore, being banned in Gangcheng really did not matter much.
But offending sir Xiang was more than just a simple ban.
A person’s reputation precedes them.
Even though tis have changed, so people still firmly stand at the forefront, making others bow down.
“Dongxu, why are you standing?
Please sit.”
Zheng Baosen returned kindness for ingratitude with a smile, calling him as if nothing had happened, giving Wei Dongxu who was caught in a dilemma a way out.
After standing for a mont, Wei Dongxu turned and walked back to the dining table, only finding his seat taken by Zheng Baosen, so he had to move to another seat next to him.
The place previously occupied by Zheng Baosen, was then given to sir Xiang.
“Sir Xiang, please take a seat.”
Zheng Baosen did not hide his flattery, completely disregarding the presence of the younger generation by his side.
Yang Ni and others did not react differently.
After all, sir Xiang’s strength in Gangcheng was too profound, almost describable as his word being law.
The Gangcheng-styled gangster movies are still considered tiless classics to this day.
Outside of movies, sir Xiang was undoubtedly the real godfather, always presenting himself in formal attire for decades.
Xiang Yonghua sat between Zheng Baosen and Yang Ni.
“Sir Xiang, would you like a drink?”
Yang Ni asked elegantly and politely.
His arrival spared her from enduring Zheng Baosen’s harassnt.
“I haven’t been feeling well recently; I’ll refrain from drinking.”
Upon hearing this, no one persisted further.
Zheng Baosen had already asked the waiter to bring a new set of utensils, seemingly truly unprepared for the guest’s arrival.
But if it wasn’t for soone informing, how could they possibly know they were having dinner here?
The group sat down again.
“Why be so formal?”
Sensing that his arrival had changed the atmosphere at the dinner, the commanding Xiang Yonghua casually comnted, “What were you discussing earlier?”
“Sir Xiang, it’s because Yang Ni and Dongxu were having a disagreent over their child, and I was trying to diate.”
Zheng Baosen, whose diation had apparently failed, quickly explained, “Yang Ni wants to see her daughter, but Dongxu won’t allow it.
Sir Xiang, for such a trivial matter, is it necessary to take it to court?”
Wei Dongxu remained silent.
“Seeing the child is proper, there’s nothing to argue about here.”
Xiang Yonghua stated lightly.
“I think so too,” Zheng Baosen hurriedly nodded, “but Dongxu disagrees.”
Hearing this, Xiang Yonghua turned to look at Wei Dongxu.
Even though Wei Dongxu was also a prominent actor, in front of Xiang Yonghua, he hardly mattered, it’s not an exaggeration to say, normally, he wouldn’t even qualify to speak to Xiang Yonghua.
“A man should be more magnanimous.”
Xiang Yonghua simply stated, his tone neutral, neither warm nor cold, but the pressure he exerted was beyond what Zheng Baosen could compare to.
As a local from Gangcheng, Wei Dongxu was acutely aware of the other’s influence.
The previously resolute Wei Dongxu who had unyieldingly argued with Zheng Baosen pressed his lips tight, “Sir Xiang, I’m not actually preventing her from seeing the child, I just hope she’d let know when she cos to see the child.”
Letting you know, would you agree?
You’d just hide the child!
Of course, Yang Ni kept these thoughts to herself and didn’t speak them out loud, pressured by Xiang Yonghua’s presence, Wei Dongxu’s stance had clearly softened, and she couldn’t miss this opportunity.
“You agree to let see the child?”
Wei Dongxu looked at her, an actor indeed, flashing an impeccable smile, “You are Nanna’s mother, who has the right to stop you from seeing her.”
Different people carry different weights.
Just now, Zheng Baosen talked nonstop, trying to persuade with emotion and reason, but it all went in vain, whereas Xiang Yonghua only used a simple couple of sentences.
Having been deceived once, Yang Ni wouldn’t easily trust verbal promises again.
In her excitent, she forgot that Xiang Yonghua was sitting beside her and demanded, “Write it down on white and black paper.”
Wei Dongxu’s smile remained unchanged, his reply seemingly natural, “Mr.
Xiang is present, would I go back on my word?”
Yang Ni quickly realized the other party’s intentions.
It was clearly intentional provocation.
Yang Ni imdiately looked towards Xiang Yonghua, wanting to explain, but before she could speak, he said, “Putting everything into writing is indeed more rule-abiding.”
Wei Dongxu couldn’t help but frown slightly, surprised that the other party was so biased in favor of Yang Ni.
“Bring over paper and pen.”
Zheng Baosen imdiately shouted.
The waiter brought in paper and pen.
“Dongxu, write it.”
Zheng Baosen grinned.
Wei Dongxu remained silent; faced with impulse versus reality, he chose the latter.
He picked up the pen and wrote down the “guarantee.”
“Hehe, isn’t this just right, everyone is happy.”
Zheng Baosen took the guarantee, glanced at it, and then handed it to Yang Ni with satisfaction, “Hold onto it well.”
“Thank you, Brother Baosen.”
Yang Ni gratefully received it.
“Don’t thank , you should thank Mr.
Xiang.”
“Thank you, Mr.
Xiang.”
Xiang Yonghua smiled nonchalantly.
Everybody is happy.
Indeed.
It seems like everyone is happy.
The only exception was Wei Dongxu, whose face looked as if it had been thrown to the ground and trampled on, but what could he do?
Let alone him.
The top stars in Gangcheng also have to comply honestly in front of the other party.
“Dongxu, as a man, you need to see the bigger picture.”
Zheng Baosen patted Wei Dongxu on the shoulder, “Co on, have a drink.”
Wei Dongxu knew Zheng Baosen was deliberately mocking him, but he could only forcibly endure it, squeezing out a smile and clinking glasses with him.
Zheng Baosen drank with a happy grin, but his squinted eyes were filled with contempt and cold light.
It was obvious.
This ti Wei Dongxu lost both his wife and his troops.
He not only failed to achieve his desires, but also inadvertently offended Zheng Baosen.
“Didn’t you say you still had sothing to do just now?”
Zheng Baosen, being such an experienced figure in The Jianghu, truly living by swift retaliation, clearly ant that you can leave now.
Even with strong self-restraint, being humiliated like this, Wei Dongxu’s face inevitably turned sowhat ugly.
Though they were once husband and wife, his behavior over the years had completely exhausted their past affection, watched coldly by Yang Ni.
Wei Dongxu, unable to save face, could only stand up, and before leaving, did not forget to force a cheerful smile as he bade farewell to Xiang Yonghua.
“Mr.
Xiang, I must take my leave first.”
The humility of a star is vividly displayed at tis like these.
Xiang Yonghua just blandly nodded, continuing to talk with Zheng Baosen, not even deigning to look directly at him.
