"Director Chen, aren’t we here to sign the contract? What’s this about?"

Seeing the room full of people, Tong Xiaoya frowned slightly.

Director Chen said with a smile, "These are all influential figures in the industry. Let me introduce them to you; it will be very useful for your future development."

A young man stood up at this moment, "Xiaoya, I’ve always been your fan. I specifically chose you as the female star for this occasion."

Director Chen introduced from the side, "Xiaoya, this is President Wu Ge, the president of Celestial Song Film and Television Group."

Upon hearing this name, Tong Xiaoya’s face changed slightly.

In their circle, Wu Ge is a figure that celebrities fear to discuss.

It’s said he frequently exploits female stars, and several have fallen victim to his traps.

There’s even a rumor that Wu Ge’s alcohol should never be drunk.

Director Chen said with a smile, "Come, come, have a seat."

Tong Xiaoya said calmly, "Director Chen, I already had dinner before coming. If we’re not signing the contract, I’ll head back."

With that, Tong Xiaoya turned to leave.

"Stop." Wu Ge’s expression turned slightly cold.

"Miss Tong, I invited you with sincerity this time. What do you mean by this, disrespecting me, Wu Ge?"

Tong Xiaoya said placidly, "President Wu, I really have something urgent, and I can’t drink alcohol. If drinking is a must, you can find someone else for the female lead."

At this point, Tong Xiaoya was no longer a newcomer in the industry, so she wouldn’t interact with someone like Wu Ge just for a movie. Who knows what’s in his drinks.

Wu Ge sneered, "Don’t think that just because you have some fame, I can’t deal with you. Believe me, with a word, I can make sure you have no films to act in."

Director Chen also persuaded from the side, "Xiaoya, it’s just a glass of wine, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Tong Xiaoya’s expression was very cold; a glass of wine.

One of her close friends in the acting circle fell victim after drinking a glass of wine with this guy.

Afterward, her friend directly withdrew from the entertainment industry and got married.

No matter what, Tong Xiaoya would not drink with Wu Ge.

Wu Ge said coldly, "You can leave, but you need to drink this glass of wine first."

As he spoke, Wu Ge held the wine out to Tong Xiaoya.

Tong Xiaoya looked at the alcohol and shivered slightly.

Though she appeared glamorous in the eyes of others as a big star, only she knew the struggles within.

She was well aware of the Wu Family’s status in the entertainment industry, controlling thirty percent of Hua Country’s cinemas.

Offending Wu Ge would make it truly difficult to survive in the entertainment industry.

Other people also began persuading her.

"Xiaoya, it’s your fault here. President Wu toasts you because he values you, how could you be so disrespectful?"

"Exactly, it’s just a glass of wine, what’s the harm?"

Tong Xiaoya gritted her teeth, reaching for the glass, but at this moment, the glass in Wu Ge’s hand was snatched away by someone else.

Ye Chen snatched the glass and shook it.

Indeed, there were sediments in the glass.

Ye Chen’s gaze turned cold, and with a flick of his hand, he splashed the wine directly onto Wu Ge’s face.

The scene went silent.

No one expected someone to suddenly come out and splash wine directly onto Wu Ge’s face.

Ye Chen said coldly, "If you want to drink so badly, drink it yourself. Xiaoya, let’s go."

As he spoke, Ye Chen grabbed Tong Xiaoya’s hand, attempting to leave.

"Stop." Wu Ge’s icy voice came from behind.

"Kid, you splashed wine on me, and now you want to leave?"

At this time, others also stood up.

Ye Chen turned around, looking at Wu Ge, "Splashing wine on you was already giving you face. You know very well what you put in the wine, don’t you?"

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Tong Xiaoya’s heart trembled.

Indeed, there was something in Wu Ge’s wine.

Wu Ge said icily, "Get them!"

Two bodyguards rushed in from outside.

Wu Ge said coldly, "Beat them up, even if you kill him, I’ll take responsibility."

The two bodyguards were burly, obviously trained.

Witnessing this, the staff were so scared they ran out.

Tong Xiaoya’s face changed, "President Wu, no, this is my fault. Please let him go, I can drink your wine."

Ye Chen didn’t expect Tong Xiaoya to stand up for him, knowing the wine had issues and still willing to drink it for him.

Suddenly, Ye Chen felt warmth in his heart.

"Silly girl, he won’t dare do anything to me here," Ye Chen said with a smile.

Just then, noisy footsteps came from outside, and the hotel manager rushed in with over ten security guards.

"Boss, don’t worry, we’re here."

These security guards looked fierce.

The restaurant was the Marriott Hotel.

Ye Chen had been spotted by the manager upon entering, who then instructed the staff to keep an eye on him.

After all, Ye Chen was the hotel owner.

Ye Chen had set a rule; hotel staff were not allowed to reveal his identity without his permission.

Earlier, the staff saw Wu Ge summon people to act against Ye Chen and quickly called the manager.

The manager was shocked upon hearing that. If the boss were harmed at the hotel, he wouldn’t have a job anymore.

So the manager hurriedly brought a group of guards in.

Wu Ge’s face changed seeing this group of guards.

"This kid is actually the hotel owner."

The Marriott Hotel was a famous hotel in Hua Country, and with Ye Chen as the boss, his background was undoubtedly complicated.

Moreover, although their two bodyguards could fight, the opponent had over ten security guards.

Wu Ge pointed at Ye Chen, "Kid, you wait, this isn’t over."

Ye Chen smiled faintly, "Alright then, I’ll wait."

Wu Ge’s plan was to trick Tong Xiaoya today, with a presidential suite booked, but it was spoiled by Ye Chen.

Wu Ge’s appetite for the meal was gone, leaving angrily.

Director Chen was equally furious, "Xiaoya, you have deeply disappointed me."

Ye Chen and Tong Xiaoya left the hotel.

Tong Xiaoya remained worried.

"Xiaoya, what are you worried about?" Ye Chen asked.

Tong Xiaoya sighed, "The Wu Family has immense power in the film industry. By offending Wu Ge this time, I fear no one will invite me to act in films anymore."

Tong Xiaoya truly loved her profession as an actress.

If she couldn’t pursue this career in the future, Tong Xiaoya would feel very uncomfortable.

Ye Chen smiled calmly, "It’s just making movies, if no one hires you, I’ll hire you. I’ll be the director and ensure you become a film queen."

Tong Xiaoya paused and said, "Thank you for your consolation, but you might not understand the Wu Family’s influence in the entertainment industry."

Ye Chen said seriously, "I don’t care what influence the Wu Family has; if I want you to be famous, you’ll be famous, if I want you to be a film queen, you’ll be a film queen."

"Alright then, Director Ye, I’m looking forward to your work."

Tong Xiaoya didn’t really believe Ye Chen’s words; making films was not that simple.
