Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 375: Grand Banquet
When the "Nirvana in Fire" team arrived at the hotel, the outside was already crowded with reporters. It was obvious that they had heard the news in advance and came to stake out the situation.

As soon as Zhou Hao got out of the car, he was immediately surrounded by various microphones.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that your Nirvana in Fire might be aborted. Is that true?"

"Mr. Zhou, there are rumors that you and Xu Lingyue are getting married soon. Is that true?"

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you, Miss Xu Lingyue, and Miss Lin Xina are in a triangle relationship at the same time. Is this true?"

"Mr. Zhou, someone broke the news that you are Xie Tianfei's illegitimate son in mainland China..."

The questions were more outrageous than the last, and Zhou Hao was simply at a loss for words.

I’ve heard before about how outrageous the paparazzi in Hong Kong are, but seeing is believing!

"Let's go, you'll get used to it." Chen Ailun took Zhou Hao's arm and walked inside. "Nine out of ten paparazzi are psychopaths. The rumors about me are a hundred times more outrageous than yours."

"You really don't care at all?" Zhou Hao couldn't help but ask.

"Will it work? The more you resist, the more excited they get." Chen Ailun shrugged. "Besides, they are just trying to make a living and support their families. If they are not too aggressive, there is no need to kill them all."

Tsk, I didn't realize you had such a broad mind.

After completing the check-in formalities, Chen Ailun immediately invited everyone to a welcoming banquet, which was hosted by Mr. Xie.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately shook their heads and declined politely.

Anyone who is not stupid knows who Mr. Xie and Chen Ailun want to invite. If someone runs over and demands to eat for free, it would be a bit ignorant.

Chen Ailun didn't force it, as it was just a courtesy invitation.

The welcoming banquet was held directly at Mr. Xie’s home, a large villa in Repulse Bay, one of the top luxury homes in Hong Kong.

When the car drove into the manor, Zhou Hao was dazzled by the colorful flowers and green willows along the way.

This manor is well managed... I can only say that it is good to have money.

When we parked the car and opened the door, Mr. Xie, dressed in a Tang suit, was already waiting at the entrance of the villa with a cane.

"Welcome, welcome." Mr. Xie smiled and extended his hand. "It's been many years since any of our friends from the mainland have visited us."

Zhou Hao was flattered, and quickly bowed slightly to shake hands in return, "Old man, sorry to bother you."

"Don't bother me, don't bother me." Old Xie said with a smile, "When I get older, I like to be lively. I wish you young people would come and bother me more."

It was clearly just a polite remark, so Zhou Hao naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

If you really like the hustle and bustle, why do you still live here?
After a few pleasantries, Zhou Hao presented a pair of gift boxes, which contained the top-grade Da Hong Pao that he asked Lin Jianyue to bring... the kind that is not sold to the public but is supplied within certain channels.

Just these two boxes of tea cost him two hundred thousand...

If he didn't have a strong financial background, he really couldn't afford this top-grade tea.

However, Old Xie just took a look at it and asked the housekeeper to take it away.

He has received all kinds of expensive gifts in his life and no longer cares about these superficial things.

Whether it's tea leaves or tree leaves, there's no difference.

On the contrary, Chen Ailun, who was following behind, was pointed out by the old man: "Where is your gift? You came here empty-handed?"

Chen Ailun:?

"Master, you are going too far..."

Old Xie was just teasing him and didn't even listen to what he said. He just pulled Zhou Hao into the house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw four nannies standing there in a row. They bowed respectfully: "Mr. Zhou." Tsk, four nannies for one person.

So corrupt!
Xie Tianfei was an old and experienced man. He saw through Zhou Hao's thoughts at a glance. "It's not that I want to show off. I've already said that I like to be lively when I'm old... My children and grandchildren are not around, so I can only find a few more nannies to chat with me. At the same time, it can also help promote the employment rate. Why not?"

666, after all, he is the author of the book, and this angle of defense is invincible.

But Zhou Hao is too lazy to care about such trivial matters, so whatever you say is what it is!

While chatting, the nannies began to serve the dishes one after another. Zhou Hao glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and immediately felt that he was half full.

My goodness, this is not a welcoming ceremony at all, it’s simply showing off wealth!
Not only are there all kinds of precious ingredients such as ginseng, shark's fin, abalone and tripe, but the dishes are also very rare and colorful. You can tell at a glance that they are not made by ordinary chefs...

But Zhou Hao really doesn’t like eating such delicacies, they’re too greasy!

I am already old, is it really okay to eat this every day?
"Come on, come on, sit down." Old Xie enthusiastically pulled Zhou Hao to sit down, "Order casually, don't be too reserved, just treat it like your own home."

While Zhou Hao was still being polite, Chen Ailun had already taken his seat, with no intention of being polite at all.

Old Xie ignored him, obviously he was used to it.

It was not until after the banquet started that Zhou Hao realized that Lao Xie's "don't be too reserved" was not just a polite remark, because his own way of eating was completely unconventional.

You can use both the knife, fork and chopsticks and eat the food however you want, very casually.

Zhou Hao looked at her and smiled, then relaxed unconsciously.

That’s right, if it weren’t for this unconventional personality, how could he have written those cool and heroic martial arts masterpieces?

Zhou Hao poured himself a full glass of red wine and stood up. "Mr. Xie, thank you for your care during this period. I'll drink this glass. Please feel free to do as you please."

"Ah, ah, ah, don't do this." Xie Tianfei waved his hand and said, "This is not a workplace dinner. It's enough to show your kindness."

Zhou Hao nodded and finished the glass.

After three rounds of drinking, Xie Tianfei put down his chopsticks and said, "Xiao Zhou."

Zhou Hao also quickly put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. He knew that the climax of today's meal was about to begin.

"Mr. Xie, please tell me what's going on."

Xie Tianfei narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then I won't beat around the bush. How have you thought about what I told you last time?"

Zhou Hao knew exactly what this meant - what the old man wanted was the exclusive agency rights for his novels in Hong Kong, including both electronic and physical channels.

He had thought about it for a long time before coming.

When it comes to Hong Kong's entertainment industry, Mr. Xie is like the uncrowned king, with business interests spanning many fields and business tentacles reaching all channels in Southeast Asia.

If he could really reach a cooperation with him, it would definitely not be a bad thing for Zhou Hao. At least in terms of channel operations, the pressure would be much less.

"Mr. Xie promoted me so much, so I naturally have nothing to say."

Upon hearing this, Xie Tianfei smiled and said, "If you have any requests, just ask now."

"As for the detailed terms of cooperation, I am an outsider. You can contact my agent for this. But there is one thing I must make clear first - the film and television adaptation rights of those novels must be in my own hands."

Xie Tianfei was obviously stunned for a moment, "Why? Do you think you don't like the film and television industry in Hong Kong?"

Zhou Hao hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth, "Yes."

Thank you Tianfei for being happy.

"What's the reason?"
