Although Li Cheng didn't know the real identity of this President Wu, her way of doing things could be summed up in one word - outrageously wealthy.
He didn't dare to offend this rich and powerful person. With a forced smile, he said, "No, no. President Wu has a large family business. Whatever she wants to do, she can surely achieve it. It's just that..."
After all, he still had to make a living in the entertainment circle in the future. Huo Jingting was promoted by Sister Lan, and he really didn't dare to offend him.
Wu Pengpeng said without any room for negotiation, "I'll pay five million. I must have him sing a song for me tonight."
Seeing that she was determined to make things difficult for Huo Jingting, Li Cheng secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said obsequiously, "President Wu, we've invited Class - 3 as the performance guests tonight. How about..."
Wu Pengpeng didn't give him a chance to bargain and walked straight towards Huo Jingting.
She strolled over to Huo Jingting slowly, folded her arms, and looked at him leisurely. "You're Huo Jingting?"
Huo Jingting had heard every word of her conversation with Li Cheng just now and despised her from the bottom of his heart.
Another superficial woman who lusted after his good looks!
He didn't give her a good look at all and stared at her in silence.
Wu Pengpeng sized him up with great interest for a while. Suddenly, she reached out her hand, pinched his chin with two fingers, looking like a woman infatuated by lust. "You've got quite a good - looking face."
Huo Jingting felt as if he had suffered a great humiliation. He slapped her hand away with a "pop". "Miss, please behave yourself!"
Wu Pengpeng looked at the red mark on the back of her hand and suddenly laughed.
In her previous life, when he climbed into Qin Ledi's bed for five million, why didn't he behave himself?
In this life, when he colluded with Qin Ledi and mistreated the employees, why didn't he behave himself?
Wu Pengpeng folded her arms again and looked at him lazily. "I just won't behave myself. What can you do about it?"
Huo Jingting was so angry that he was speechless. He had never met such a brazen person!
He glared at Wu Pengpeng fiercely, looking as if he would rather die than submit. "I'll call the police!"
"Sure!" Wu Pengpeng took out her phone and handed it to him, eager for him to call the police quickly. "But you'd better think it through."
She leaned against the chair beside her, looking lazy. "Wu You, the president of Xiuhe Pharmaceutical Group, is my second uncle. Wu Ju, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is my third uncle. Wu Xian of Hongshan Capital is my fourth uncle. Wu Fei, a master of Chinese painting, is my fifth uncle."
With each person she mentioned, Huo Jingting's face grew darker.
"Oh, right," Wu Pengpeng added with a half - smile as if she had just remembered something. "And my sixth uncle. He's someone in your circle. He's called the entertainment godfather."
Wu Qing, the entertainment godfather, was the head of Xinghe Entertainment, the largest entertainment company in the country!
Whoever offended him would basically have no place in the entertainment circle.
Huo Jingting suddenly felt a little scared. He wracked his brains but couldn't figure out where he had offended this woman in front of him.
Did he accidentally "harvest" this second - generation heir as a "foolish fan" when he was flattering his fans before?
Seeing his reaction, Wu Pengpeng sneered in her heart.
Her current state of mind was like a cat that had caught a mouse. She wasn't in a hurry to eat it but rather wanted to play with it under her claws.
It wasn't until the prey's mentality completely collapsed that she slowly dropped the last bombshell. "I'm Wu Pengpeng, the president of Zhengling Group."
She pointed at the ground under Huo Jingting's feet and said word by word, "The land you're standing on right now also belongs to me."
Huo Jingting suddenly felt that the floor under his feet was burning hot. He didn't know whether he should leave or stay for a moment.
Wu Pengpeng pulled the chair behind her forward, sat down on the spot, and lowered her head to play with the diamond on her fingernail.
This thing was beautiful, but it was too heavy. It made her finger hurt.
She looked up boredly, raising the corner of her eye slightly, with a hint of fierceness. "Tell me, which one of them can you afford to offend?"
Huo Jingting sadly found that he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
But he was at least a quasi - first - tier popular star. He really couldn't bear to be humiliated in public.
He glared at Wu Pengpeng and sneered, "Miss Wu, do you think it's interesting to insult people at will just because you're rich?"
He was trying to put a big label of bullying others with power on her!
Wu Pengpeng readily accepted it. "It is interesting!"
She was eager for some big shots to be dissatisfied with her actions and then take Zhengling Group as an example. It would be best if they could bankrupt Zhengling Group. Then she could reap the benefits.
Huo Jingting was so angry that his face turned blue. He almost couldn't maintain his dignity as an artist. "You..."
"What about me?" Wu Pengpeng tilted her head slightly, looking extremely annoying. "This is a game for the rich. If you can't play, just go home and hug your sponsor's thigh!"
Her words were like a 360 - degree slap in Huo Jingting's face. The atmosphere on the scene became as stiff as if it had been injected with hyaluronic acid.
In the awkward silence, someone let out a soft laugh.
Wu Pengpeng looked in the direction of the sound and saw He Qianshan standing not far away, with a faint smile on his lips.
In an instant, everything around became illusory. Only he became the most dazzling light source, firmly catching her attention.
Wu Pengpeng's cheeks suddenly flushed, and she felt inexplicably ashamed in her heart.
For some reason, she didn't really want He Qianshan to see this embarrassing side of hers.
Seeing the inquiring looks from everyone, He Qianshan restrained his smile. "Sorry, I just suddenly remembered something funny."
Just now, seeing Wu Pengpeng's sharp - tongued appearance, he suddenly remembered the day at the Lanting Club when she was cornered by him and looked at a loss.
That kind of contrast cuteness was so funny that he couldn't help laughing out loud.
He Qianshan's laugh made the atmosphere on the scene even weirder.
It was rumored that Huo Jingting was discovered by the capital tycoon Sister Lan because of his good looks. She invested in a double - male - lead TV series for him, and he became popular overnight.
He Qianshan must be mocking him for using his looks to serve others!
The media present couldn't help but get excited. They pointed their cameras at them, almost shouting "Fight now!"
Huo Jingting looked at He Qianshan, who was calm and composed not far away, and was extremely angry in his heart.
But He Qianshan had already explained. If he continued to pester him, he would be admitting the rumor.
Huo Jingting coldly withdrew his gaze and sneered at He Qianshan's behavior in his heart.
Although He Qianshan's acting skills and appearance far exceeded those of his peer actors, he seemed to lack a bit of luck. He had been in the industry for many years but had always been obscure.
He must be jealous of his popularity, so he did these dirty things in public!
Seeing that the atmosphere was extremely tense, Li Cheng was sweating profusely. Fortunately, the time for the fashion show finally arrived.
He quickly smiled and tried to ease the situation. "Our big show tonight is about to start. Please take your seats quickly!"
Everyone took their seats, and the show started soon.
Wu Pengpeng wasn't interested in the models or the clothes on the runway. Her eyes always inadvertently glanced at He Qianshan sitting opposite.
The stage design tonight was excellent. The distant mountains were green and hazy, creating a unique artistic conception.
Even sitting in the dimly - lit audience seats, He Qianshan was like a natural light source, more eye - catching than the models on the stage.
"Who is that He Qianshan?" she couldn't help asking Zhao Bufan beside her.
Zhao Bufan stared at the clothes on the models intently, not even blinking. "An actor."
Wu Pengpeng waited for a long time but didn't hear the rest. She couldn't help but ask again, "And?"
Zhao Bufan was annoyed at being interrupted. She said impatiently, "A perpetual obscure actor. No matter how much they try to promote him, he just won't be popular."
After saying that, she suddenly remembered the information she had checked just now. She quickly turned back and warned Wu Pengpeng, "Don't do anything rash! Several film and television companies took a fancy to his good looks and invested a lot of money to promote him, but all the companies went bankrupt without exception."
What a money - wasting machine!
Wu Pengpeng's eyes lit up. He was the one!
