The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 171 Birthday Party

Late April.

The temperature has dropped to the twenties again.

It's neither too hot nor too cold, which is just perfect.

Song Wu, born in 91, celebrated her 24th birthday. She is not exactly famous in the entertainment industry.

He's just a little Karami.

Therefore, not many people came to her birthday party, and not many people sent her birthday wishes online.

The entertainment industry is very realistic.

If you were a big star, countless people would send you birthday wishes in all sorts of ways on your birthday.

Many big stars will also post on Weibo to wish her a happy birthday.

That's the difference between being famous and not being famous.

Song Wu simply booked a large private room at the hotel and invited some acquaintances for a simple get-together.

Of course, she also invited some important figures whom she considered to be quite influential.

"Happy birthday, Xiao Wu. Let me toast you."

A renowned director in his early forties stood up, put his arm around her shoulder, and drank a glass of wine.

In his view, this was a very normal thing.

After all, he's quite famous, so why would he come to celebrate the birthday of someone who's barely even a nobody?

That was already an honor for her.

At this point, what difference would it make if you asked her to go to a hotel room, let alone hug or kiss her?
That's all because they think highly of her.

Liu Bizheng became interested and instructed, "Xiao Wu, I heard you dance quite well. Stand on that platform and dance a belly dance for us."

Song Wu froze; today was her birthday.

Normally, she would definitely have gone to dance.

It was Zhang Tian'ai who came to her rescue: "Director Liu, our Song Wu is the main character today. How can you let her go on stage and dance like that? Why don't I do it? I happen to know a little bit too."

Rejected, Liu Bizheng said unhappily, "What do you mean? I, Liu Bizheng, am giving her face by asking her to dance. Aren't there plenty of women who want to dance in front of me, Old Liu?"

"But she's wearing high heels today!"

"So what if she's wearing high heels? Who do you think she is? She's just a nobody, an unknown actress."

Liu Bizheng spent ten years working his way up from assistant director. After directing two well-received web series, he seems to be moving towards serious dramas.

At this time, there were naturally many aspiring actors who came to curry favor with her.

Even a nobody actor can be ordered around however he wants.

Didn't you see that none of Song Wu's close friends dared to speak up for her?

"Director Liu..."

Zhang Tianai was the only one here who knew Song Wu's background, although she found it quite strange that Tengying Entertainment had such a powerful background.

They never gave Song Wu a single resource, but she was that person's sister-in-law, a fact that could never be changed.

No matter how down on her luck Song Wu is now, once Teng Ying is willing to acknowledge her identity...

That would have been a complete turnaround for her in the entertainment industry.

From a nobody actress whom everyone could bully, she became the true princess of Tencent Entertainment.

It's important to know that Tencent Entertainment is not what it used to be.

Even a queen of the drama industry like Yang Mi has signed with Tencent Entertainment.

This shows just how influential it is today.

"What, does my word not carry any weight?"

Liu Bi slammed his chopsticks down, clearly showing a hint of anger.

Just as Song Wu was about to go on stage to dance and defuse the awkward situation.

A woman with an air of queenly authority arrived at the door.

She was wearing a short cheongsam skirt, which showed off her graceful figure.

The moment she looked up, everyone in the large private room seemed to fall silent.

"Happy birthday, Song Wu. I'm sorry I'm late."

"Yang Mi, is this Yang Mi?"

"How could Song Wu possibly know Yang Mi?"

"She even apologized for being late? Did I miss something?"

"Hello Yang Mi, I'm director Liu Bizheng." Completely devoid of his previous arrogance, Liu Bizheng instantly transformed into a sycophant in front of Queen Yang, even extending his hand to shake hers.

Yang Mi had no idea what had happened.

But after looking around, she could roughly guess what was going on, and frowned, saying:
"Who are you? Do I know you?"

Yang Mi couldn't be bothered with him. He was just a third-rate director, not even qualified to get close to her, Queen Yang.

After walking up to Song Wu, Yang Mi said, "Your brother-in-law asked me to come here. He also asked me to tell you that your sister made you a bowl of longevity noodles at home, and he wants you to come home later."

"My brother-in-law?"

"Yes, your brother-in-law."

"Really, really did he say that?"

Song Wu was almost in tears.

Yang Mi patted her on the shoulder, "Yes, it's your brother-in-law, Chen Pingsheng, the boss of Tengying Entertainment. He asked me to call you home for dinner."

pop~
A lot of cups were scattered on the floor.

Everyone in this private room is in the entertainment industry.

Those in the entertainment industry will naturally know Tencent Entertainment.

The boss is very mysterious; most people in the industry have never seen him.

Tencent Video recently signed Yang Mi and was valued at 5 billion yuan. It is currently the number one entertainment agency in the drama industry.

Having invested in so many TV series, none of them have ever lost money.

This is a bit magical.

Song Wu's brother-in-law is actually the boss of Tencent Entertainment?

If Yang Mi hadn't personally said this, even a dog wouldn't believe it.

Without it.

Given Teng Ying's background, even the boss's sister-in-law could turn a TV series into a complete mess.

People should also point out her good acting skills from eighteen different perspectives.

Who doesn't understand a little bit of social etiquette?

Not to mention that on her own birthday, she was ridiculed by a third-rate director.

He even arbitrarily ordered her to perform belly dancing on stage.

If she really were the boss's sister-in-law, not even a third-tier director, let alone a top-tier director, would dare to treat her like that.

The mysterious boss of Tengying, is that a joke?
If someone's sister-in-law can curse at them as she pleases, why should others be allowed to?

Not to mention ordering her to do such an insulting thing.

Many people quietly distanced themselves from Liu Bizheng.

To avoid being implicated by him, there's no way around it, that's just how realistic the entertainment industry is.

Song Wu, who was just a nobody, has suddenly become a popular figure.

Only Zhang Tian'ai was overjoyed; she knew this day would come sooner or later.

The reason is simple: the boss of Tengying has a love for Song Wu's sister that is a once-in-a-century true love in the entertainment industry!

He'd be the kind of person who would reject all the temptations of the entertainment industry for her.

How could a man like that possibly look after his wife's only younger sister?

Has he been suffering in the entertainment industry all along?

As long as we wait until he finally acknowledges Song Wu.

Her status in the entertainment industry then became a complete reversal.

Regardless of her tier of fame, when she attends entertainment industry events, she always sits in the front row, a symbol of capital.

Who told her to have such a powerful brother-in-law?

This is the legendary background, a leap that surpasses those who have struggled for countless years.

It's quite obvious that Yang Mi has arrived.

It's tantamount to acknowledging Song Wu's unapproachable status and background to the entire entertainment industry.

From now on, she is destined to be a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.

No one would dare to bully her now; they'd be too busy currying favor with her.

This is what is known as the wisdom of human relationships.
