The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 577 A difficult situation, but there's no going back.

"Sigh..." After leaving the Sixth Degree Music, Xu Jiuyang not only didn't start the engine for a long time, but also let out a long sigh.

"Boss, do you need me to help you relax?" Yang Ying asked immediately from the passenger seat, making no attempt to hide the hope on her face.

"Turn your head around and look outside," Xu Jiuyang commanded in a rare, cold tone.

"Oh..." Yang Ying immediately deflated and obediently turned her head towards the car window.
Xu Jiuyang looked ahead and sighed again.

He had impulsively agreed to Da Tian Tian's request, but only a few seconds later he regretted it.

He's certainly not the kind of person to go back on his word, but... how should I put it, something doesn't feel right, especially after the kiss, when the other person not only blushed but also ran away shyly.

Xu Jiuyang can swear that he really had no other intentions towards Da Tiantian. He simply wanted to admire the beautiful and wealthy woman up close and tease her a little.

Moreover, their attitude towards me has always been simple; they have no ulterior motives.

But now... I treat you like a sister, and it seems like you've developed feelings for me that I shouldn't have... That's a bit unreasonable.

But he couldn't tell anyone else. Whether it was Sister Yuanyuan, Yunxin, or Fan Tongxue and Angela, they would all just smile and say, "Oh, right, right."

Then, secretly, they would plan to do something to that person.

Although they should have already investigated Tian Tian's background, some things don't need to be done by intimidation. Given their demonstrated abilities, they could certainly brainwash Jing Tian with persuasive words.
There's a difference between women uniting women online and women uniting women offline.

So far, none of the women they have gathered around them have any extra thoughts; they have all devoted themselves to serving them.

While they certainly contributed to this, without their own methods, it would have been impossible for things to be so calm and orderly now.

To be honest, if Xu Jiuyang hadn't already confirmed with Sister Yuanyuan that they could only receive fragments of future information in their dreams, he would have suspected that they had a mind control system targeting women, especially female celebrities.

Moreover, Tian Tian's brain... is slightly better than Qian Qian's, but only slightly better.

If only he had realized sooner that Tian Tian's feelings for him had changed, he wouldn't have participated in this project, even if she had been as persistent and even relentlessly pestering as they were.

"Calm down, it's not the worst time yet," Xu Jiuyang told himself, and after adjusting his mindset, he drove off.

Two days later, he brought his two literary assistants, Zhang Shuang and Zhao Shu, and went straight to Fan Bingbing's office.

"Everything is ready now, we just need the right opportunity," he said, slapping the script of "The Grandmaster" in front of his wife.

"Oh?" Fan Bingbing took it and glanced at it a few times. "Didn't you say you wanted to wait a little longer?"

"We were originally going to wait a bit longer, but now that my two assistants have almost finished working on the script, I'm bringing it here for you to take a look. If there are no problems, we can start preparations now," Xu Jiuyang said casually.

"How much effort did Sister Yuanyuan put in?" Fan Bingbing asked with a smile, though she seemed a little distracted.

“It will take quite a bit of effort,” Xu Jiuyang said discreetly, rolling his eyes. “Let’s make this clear first: I can act, but I’m not responsible for the preparations.”

"I know..." Fan Bingbing drawled, then put on a disgusted and resentful look, "How could I have married such a bastard and even had his child? I'm such a masochist."

Xu Jiuyang rolled his eyes noticeably, not intending to continue the conversation. Otherwise, she would definitely steer the conversation toward certain topics and trick him into saying something like "kneel down and beg me," and then he would actually kneel down and beg him.

This is probably the aftereffect of those few days. (This paragraph was deleted by the system in a previous chapter.)

"There's something else, about the cinematic universe I'm planning for Jing Tian. You should be aware of that by now, right?" he asked. "How about we invest a little and give it a try?"

"Oh?" Fan Bingbing became interested. "Are you planning to abandon us and start a completely new relationship?" "Fan, I'm seriously talking to you about work." Xu Jiuyang narrowed his eyes.

“Yeah, wasn’t I talking to you about work?” Fan Bingbing immediately stopped smiling and snorted. “Do you think everyone doesn’t know that girl has a crush on you?”

“Hmm…” Xu Jiuyang hesitated for a few seconds, “I don’t want to talk about this. If you’re not interested, I’ll find someone else.”

“Of course I’m not interested,” Fan Bingbing’s tone became lazy. “But you’re asking me to join you because you’re worried the movie won’t be made the way you want it to be, and you need me to send someone over to supervise. How could I refuse you?”

Xu Jiuyang pursed his lips: "Besides supervising, you also have to help me block Jing Tian."

"Oh?" Fan Bingbing's eyes lit up for a moment, but she quickly leaned back in her high-backed chair again. "I understand."

The person was increasingly puzzled, but couldn't quite understand what she meant by this attitude, so in the end they could only get up and say, "Then I'll go first, I still have to go to Angela's place."

Once outside, he sensed something was amiss, and just then he saw Qin Lan walk over, nod to him, and go into her own cubicle, so he immediately followed her in.

"Boss... oh dear!" Before Qin Lan could even greet him, Xu Jiuyang pinned her against the wall.

"When did your Bingbing find out about my affair with Jingtian?" he asked.

"Didn't you know that from the very beginning...?" Qin Lan leaned back as far as she could, pressing the back of her head against the wall.

“I’m asking,” Xu Jiuyang narrowed his eyes, “when did your Bingbing find out about my promise to work on a cinematic universe for Jing Tian?”

After saying that, he pulled her waist forward a little, making her cry out "Ah!"

"When I found out... I told the boss..." Qin Lan said, feeling very aggrieved.

"Really? When? I don't remember." Xu Jiuyang asked bluntly.

"I...I remember saying it, and I even went to the boss's house to say it!" Qin Lan hurriedly explained, "I remember...I remember Butler Lin was there too!"

"Oh?" Xu Jiuyang was quite surprised.

At that moment, another young woman who looked like an assistant walked in: "Secretary Qin..."

She was left standing at the door, embarrassed and even a little frightened, her eyes wide open, unable to go in or back out.

Qin Lan, who had initially appeared delicate and pitiful, suddenly transformed into a haughty and indifferent woman, turning to scold the girl, "Didn't you know how to knock before coming in?"

"I'm...I'm sorry, Secretary Qin..." the other person replied pitifully, and was about to leave when Qin Lan continued to scold, "You're already in here, don't you know to put the documents on the table before you go out?!"

It's hard to imagine that such impolite words came from a woman who was pinned against the wall by a man and had his arms around her waist.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The girl could only continue apologizing, lowering her head as she placed the documents in her hand on the table, and then quickly ran out.

Xu Jiuyang originally wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but considering that his current posture with Qin Lan was rather indecent, he decided against it.

However, seeing how disheveled she was running away, he couldn't help but ask, "Wasn't you being a little, um, too harsh on her?"

To everyone's surprise, Qin Lan tilted her head and stared at him for a while before asking, "So, boss wants to eat her already?"
