Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 749 Run away!

The last day of November was a Friday. After attending the university meet-and-greet today, Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei did an online interview together in the evening.

Strangely enough, the couple were not very old, but they acted like they were both older than each other.

Li Qiutang is the director, so it's understandable that he doesn't get as much exposure as the actors, while Liu Yifei is simply lazy and wants to hide away after filming.

Therefore, Li Qiutang had never experienced playing games on the show, and Liu Yifei had done very little of it.

The host of today's interview presented the two with a game called "Of Course".

The two ask each other questions, and the other must answer "Of course"; if they can't answer, they lose.

Neither of them had ever played this kind of game before, and they both found it novel.

Li Qiutang quickly grasped the essence of the game: to ask all sorts of strange questions to attack the opponent and make them feel embarrassed.

The production team did not prepare any script for this part; the two could ask whatever they wanted.

When it's a gathering of acquaintances, you can play around as much as you want; when it's a gathering of spouses, you can play around however you want.
Li Qiutang launched the first attack: "Do you feel that marrying me is beneath you?"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened, not reacting at all. The host was also stunned for half a second before laughing along with the staff on site.

"Director, are we going to go all out right from the start?!"

Liu Yifei laughed too. This old guy is playing games like this!
Li Qiutang looked completely innocent: "Isn't this how this game is supposed to be played?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The host had no intention of stopping Li Qiutang. Let her play, play however she wanted today.

Liu Yifei licked her lips, striking a relaxed pose, and said, "Of course."

Then she asked, "Do you think you're the best director in the country? Other directors can't even come close to you?"

The host and staff cheered, "They love a good show, and they love a big funeral."

Even the host said to Liu Yifei, "This question is too harsh."

Li Qiutang gave a wry smile and said, "I'm sorry, seniors and colleagues." Then she said proudly, "Of course."

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed, then cursed him, "Shameless!"

The host interjected, "Viewers, this is a case of couples turning against each other today. It's too cruel."

When it was Li Qiutang's turn, he first coughed lightly and said, "Now it's a bit tinged with personal grudges." This made Liu Yifei and the host laugh, and then he said:
"Your makeup is caked under your left eye today."

Everyone on set was laughing so hard; only Li Qiutang would dare to attack Liu Yifei like that.

Regardless of whether her makeup was caked up or not, Liu Yifei could only answer, "Of course."

The audience burst into laughter.

Then Liu Yifei launched her attack: "Do you admit that you are an incompetent husband?"

"Where have I failed as a candidate?" Li Qiutang retorted.

"Hey!"

Li Qiutang could only say, "Of course."

Liu Yifei smiled happily, looking very comfortable.

It was Li Qiutang's turn again: "I'm considering changing the female lead for my next project, what do you think?"

Liu Yifei's facial expressions were incredibly varied, changing several times before she finally said, "No way!"

"Hahahaha!"

The audience erupted in laughter and applause, congratulating Li Qiutang on winning this round of the game.

Li Qiutang said, "I won the game, but lost my family."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. After playing a few games, the interview continued, and the two shared their experiences in creating "Marriage Story," which lasted for half an hour before ending.

After returning to their room to rest, Liu Yifei took a shower first, while Li Qiutang took out her phone to handle some trivial work.

Li Qiutang thought November would pass peacefully, but then a news item was pushed to her phone with the headline: "Feng Xiaogang's Eldest Daughter Accuses Xu Fan of Ingratitude and Taking Advantage of His Misfortune!"

I can ignore other news, but I have to read this one.

Li Qiutang clicked on the link and began to read it carefully.

In short, Feng Xiaogang's biological daughter, Feng Siyu, and his older sister, Feng Xiaojun, published an article on Feng Xiaogang's Weibo account (which is still active) that thoroughly vilified Xu Fan. They accused Xu Fan of using the pretext of raising funds to pay Feng Xiaogang's taxes and fines to sell off family assets, claiming that she had gone to the United States two weeks prior to handle some matters, but then disappeared without a trace! They alleged that Xu Fan had absconded with the funds raised from the asset sale, leaving Feng Siyu only a house in Beijing.

Li Qiutang opened Weibo and found that #Feng Xiaogang's daughter denounces Xu Fan# was indeed the number one trending topic.

The aunt and niece used every kind of foul language in their long post on Weibo.

Feng Siyu said she also tried to find him in the United States, but Feng Xiaogang's house in the United States had already been sold, and no one knew whether Xu Fan was in the United States or where he was. Feng Siyu couldn't find him at all!

With only one month left, if Feng Xiaogang doesn't pay the 20 billion yuan in taxes and fines, he will face even more serious lawsuits.

The Feng family has come to an end.

Isn't Xu Fan always very supportive of her husband? Although 20 billion is a lot, Xu Fan could raise it if she wanted to. Why did she do something like this?

Li Qiutang was lost in thought, completely unaware that his wife had changed into her pajamas and come out of the bathroom.

"What are you thinking?"

"Here, look."

Liu Yifei glanced at it, speechless with surprise, and after a long while, she said:
"What about Feng Xiaogang..."

Li Qiutang said, "According to the movie plot, Feng Siyu or Feng Xiaojun will then take out an account book or a USB flash drive or hard drive, which contains many secrets of the big shots. Feng Siyu will then use these secrets to ask the big shots for money."

"You're obsessed with movies, aren't you?"

"Then what do you suggest we do? Xu Fan has run off with all the money. The house in Yanjing can only fetch 70 or 80 million at most. Even if the family back home contributes a little more to raise 100 million, what good will it do? He owes 2 billion. It would be quite interesting if this were a movie plot."

Li Qiutang added, "According to the movie plot, Feng Xiaogang should have left his daughter some money to save her life."

On the eve of Potato's IPO in 2010, Wang Wei was sued by his ex-wife for a share of the company's stock, which caused the IPO plan to fail. This incident led many business tycoons to become wary of their wives, and prenuptial agreements probably became popular around that time.

Xu Fan absconded overseas with all of Feng Xiaogang's assets. Li Qiutang would never have known how much of a shock and warning this incident brought to business owners in the industry.

Li Qiutang patted her thigh, and Liu Yifei obediently sat down. Then Li Qiutang began her attack:
"Do you really think I'm an incompetent husband?"

Liu Yifei chuckled: "Look at you, so petty. It's just a game."

Then, using the same trick again, she placed her husband's hand on her conscience and said, "You are the best husband in the world."

"Really?"

"Really," Liu Yifei laughed. "You have no idea how envious my girlfriends are of me. They say I found a great husband—handsome, talented, and so successful in his career. If I hadn't acted early, I wouldn't have had a chance with such a good man."

Li Qiutang was a little embarrassed by the praise; she realized she was actually quite good.

“The aunties my mom knows all say you’re the most perfect son-in-law in the world.”

“This is what a perfect husband looks like.” Li Qiutang was quite pleased.

He patted his wife's bottom and said, "Get off me, I'm going to take a shower."

Li Qiutang stood up: "A competent husband should not only be capable, but also very capable."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes: "What a character."
