Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 305 The Flood Washed Away the Dragon King's Temple (Part 2)

Dong Jie never dreamed that, having just signed with Boss Cao's company, her very first role would be as the female lead.

It's like a roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwich) falling from the sky and hitting you on the head, and it's even made from skinny meat.

"Congratulations, Xiao Dong, you're so lucky."

After the perfunctory audition, the girls chattered over to congratulate the lucky girl: "You're treating us to dinner tonight! We heard the seafood in Guangzhou is great, we're going to have a seafood feast!"

"Yes, you must treat us."

Everyone else raised their hands in agreement.

"It's just seafood, please go ahead and have some!"

Having landed the lead role, Dong Jie was generous and took Zeng Li, Chen Hao, and other actresses under Boss Cao's management to the best seafood restaurant in Guangzhou.

"The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in 'The God of Cookery' looks delicious. I've never tried it before. Let's each have one."

Dong Jie was unusually extravagant today: "One serving of salmon sashimi, lobster, and abalone for everyone."

"Xiao Dong, that's about enough."

Chen Hao meant well, worried that the meal would cost too much, since none of them had earned much money yet.

"It's okay, I'm happy today."

Dong Jie was very smart. She understood that if she landed the lead role, the other girls in the company would definitely be jealous.

Therefore, let's first shut everyone up with delicious food.

After ordering, she felt it wasn't enough and added, "I heard there's a really good KTV in Guangzhou called Royal Dynasty International. Let's go sing karaoke after we finish eating."

The girls immediately cheered.

Royal Dynasty International is said to be the earliest KTV in China. It is very famous in Guangzhou and even in China, and the prices are very high. A bottle of ordinary beer costs eight yuan.

If you add some imported liquor and the private room fee, the tip will definitely be over a thousand.

During the meal, the women's conversation always revolved around the movie "Spring Bright Pigsy".

"Did you know? There's another role in this play, Chang'e. I heard it was reserved for Chen Hong, but Manager Chen Hong is pregnant and didn't come this time."

"I've heard about it too, but I don't know whose child it is."

"Who else could it be? Of course it is."

"Come on, eat your food. This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup is so delicious."

A girl who couldn't keep her mouth shut was about to tell the truth when Zeng Li quickly interrupted her.

A beautiful woman like Chen Hong, who is also the second-in-command of the company, whose child could she possibly have?

It probably belongs to the boss.

But this is a secret and cannot be revealed.

However, everyone basically knows that some people envy the boss, while others envy Chen Hong.

But what's the use of being envious if the boss doesn't even notice you?

After eating for a while, Zeng Li suddenly asked Dong Jie, "Do you and the boss have that kind of relationship?"

"That kind?"

Dong Jie was a little confused for a moment.

"Pretending to be confused? If it weren't for the connections, you'd get the lead role in your very first film?"

Zeng Li once worked at a Peking Opera troupe. Although she has now been admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, her previous social experience has made her very clear that it is basically impossible to get the lead role without connections.

"I really."

Although Dong Jie is young, he naturally understands what he needs to understand.

She immediately realized that this classically trained, beautiful woman was definitely referring to the relationship between men and women.

Her face flushed slightly, and she said, "We have no relationship. I guess the boss thinks I'm suitable for the role of Little Dragon Girl."

"My silly sister, there are so many people who are suitable for Xiaolongnu. Isn't Chen Hao suitable? Isn't Tao Hong, whom I met last time, suitable? Or Zhang Ziyi, unsuitable? Why did the boss give you the opportunity?"

Zeng Li, the experienced older sister, began to teach the younger sister: "You are beautiful, that's your advantage. Since the boss has given you this opportunity, you need to be sensible, understand?"

"I understand, but I've never been in a relationship before."

As an eighteen-year-old young woman, how could Dong Jie not understand these things?

"You really are stupid."

Zeng Li was almost driven mad by this girl, and said, "Is the boss not handsome? Or not rich? Or not talented enough? Can't I just date him once?"

At this point, he patted Dong Jie's hand earnestly: "You need to be sensible, otherwise this might be your only chance, and it's not impossible that the role will be replaced halfway through. In that case, your dinner invitation will have been for nothing."

"let me see"

Although Dong Jie had always liked Cao Jian's songs and was a fan of his, she was naturally a little embarrassed by his advances.

"I plan to try and build a good relationship with the boss whenever I have the chance."

Seeing that her younger sister was still hesitating, Zeng Li didn't bother to say anything more.

But in my heart I was thinking, if it weren't for the fact that you treated me to this big meal, I wouldn't have said what I just said.

Dong Jie remained silent, but in his mind he was pondering what he should do.
Originally, landing the lead role should have been a happy thing, but now it has put her in a dilemma.

Is the entertainment industry really that difficult to navigate?

After dinner, seven or eight girls took a taxi to the legendary "Royal Dynasty International KTV".

"Truly luxurious"

When everyone arrived at the entrance, they were stunned by the magnificent decoration.

"Who owns this place? They must be really rich."

"Didn't you see those luxury cars at the entrance? They must be making a lot of money here every day."

"Let's go in quickly, I want to see what it's like inside."

The girls chattered as they entered the KTV lobby, once again stunned by the palace-like decor.

"Hello, miss, we'd like a private room to sing some songs."

After looking around for a while, Dong Jie went to the front desk.

The receptionist asked politely, "Do you have a membership card?"

"No."

"How about we arrange a deluxe private room on the second floor for you? The minimum charge is three thousand yuan. What do you think?"

"Three thousand?"

Dong Jie was taken aback. She was the female lead in "Spring Bright Pigsy," and her salary for one episode was only 1,500 yuan. However, the minimum charge for a private room here was 3,000 yuan.

"If you think it's too high, we also have small bags."

The girl glanced at Dong Jie's companions not far away, maintaining a kind smile: "The minimum charge for a small room is 1,000 yuan, but it might be a bit cramped for you people."

I must say, the receptionists at this KTV are all very articulate.

Just then, a man wearing a gold chain and carrying a briefcase came over to reserve a private room.

When he saw Dong Jie, his eyes lit up, and he leaned over and said, "Miss, I have a membership card here. Why don't you come with me to the big private room on the third floor for a drink? The third floor isn't a place for ordinary people."

As he spoke, he reached out his groping hand and tried to put his arm around Dong Jie's waist.

Dong Jie was torn between booking a medium-sized private room or making do with a small one.

"What are you doing? Are you being a pervert?"

Seeing that this fat, big-eared man not only invited her to drink but also made a move on her, she hurriedly dodged, but accidentally stepped on the man's foot.

"You stinking bitch!"

Feeling he had lost face, the man cursed and reached out to hit someone.

"Sir, this is Royal Dynasty International. Please do not cause trouble."

The girl at the front desk saw that a fight was about to break out and immediately spoke up to stop it.

"What about Dynasty International? Do you know who I am? I have connections!"

The man was a businessman with some connections. Seeing how arrogant a receptionist was, he stiffened his neck, retorted, and then said to Dong, "Come here and massage my feet, or come upstairs with me for a drink. Otherwise, you're not leaving today."

The men who had come with the man also surrounded him, afraid that Dong Jie would run away.

Seeing that the man was being unreasonable, the receptionist immediately picked up her walkie-talkie and called security.

Zeng Li, Chen Hao, and the others, who had been chatting idly, came over when they heard the commotion and asked, "Xiao Dong, what's going on? Who's being indecent?"

"Wow, so many beautiful women! I'm in for a treat today."

The man saw the seven or eight beautiful women in front of him and grinned wickedly: "How about you all come upstairs with me?"

Just then, a burly man walked over with seven or eight men in suits.

As the general manager of this KTV, he had encountered many people like this in the past two years. Although he did not know Dong Jie, after so many years in the business, he could guess the general idea of ​​the matter with just a glance.

He approached the man and said with a smile, "Boss, I'm the manager here. These are just some ignorant young girls. Why bother with them? Our hostesses upstairs are quite good too. Please come upstairs. I'll toast you to apologize on their behalf."

"Who do you think you are? I'm going to have them drinking with me today."

Seeing the manager's cowardly attitude, the man became even more arrogant.

The burly man was Cao Jian's cousin, Cao Wei. Originally short-tempered, he had tempered himself a lot in the past two years while doing business, but that didn't mean he had no temper at all.

Originally, the hall was full of guests, and he planned to be polite first and then force the issue, but since this man refused to listen to reason, he decided to stop being polite.

"I'm the third child in my family!" he said coldly, then immediately ordered the customer to leave: "Get this person out of here! Don't let him interfere with our business."

As soon as he finished speaking, several security guards in suits were about to move him away.

"I have connections, my brother-in-law is Director XX, does your KTV want to close down?"

As the man spoke, he took out his phone and started calling for help.

But as soon as he uttered the words "Royal Dynasty International," he heard the person above him on the phone launch into a tirade of abuse: "Do you know who the owner behind that store is? It's Cao Jian, the boss. He often dines with big leaders. You'd better apologize to me right now, or you can forget about ever calling me one of your people again."

"Boss Cao?"

At first, the man didn't realize who Boss Cao was, that he could make a bureau chief so afraid.
But he quickly blurted out, "Brother-in-law, are you talking about that Mr. Cao who makes movies?"

"Who else could it be but him?"

"I know, I'll apologize right away."

The man hung up the phone, his face beaming, and scurried over to Cao Wei: "Manager Cao, I didn't know the big boss here was Mr. Cao, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong. I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Upon hearing "Mr. Cao, the Heavenly King," Dong Jie, Zeng Li, and the others were all taken aback.

This shop is actually owned by the boss?
Is that really such a coincidence?
And seeing the man who was so arrogant just moments ago now humbly apologizing, he was even more surprised.

They never imagined that the boss had such great influence in Guangzhou that even a bureau chief's brother-in-law was so frightened just by mentioning his name.

Cao Wei glanced at the group of beautiful women and, also tempted, laughed, "Apologizing to me is useless; apologize to that girl instead."

"Miss, I was wrong, I'm sorry."

The man had no choice but to come to Dong Jie's side, bowing his head repeatedly, completely unlike his arrogant self from before.

Dong Jie felt very pleased to see the man like this, but at the same time he knew that if it weren't for the boss's reputation, would this man be like this?
He couldn't help but recall Zeng Li's words from before.

Whether it's for the sake of my future, because I like my boss, or simply to enjoy the feeling, shouldn't I take the initiative?

Of course, besides Dong Jie, there were also Zeng Li and the others.

After the man apologized, seeing that the girl remained silent, he could only look at Cao Wei.

"You go."

Cao Wei waved his hand impatiently, and the man then led his three henchmen out of the KTV in a flash.

"What?!?!"

At the entrance, a row of security guards holding rubber batons stood menacingly, staring at them.

If things had really gotten out of hand just now, I might have ended up being carried out.

In the KTV, Cao Wei dealt with the troublemaking men, glanced at the beauties Dong Jie, Zeng Li, Chen Hao, and others, and naturally wanted to flirt with them.

Everyone would love a beauty like that.

He walked over and said with a smile, "Are these ladies visiting us for the first time? Do you have any membership cards? Did what happened earlier frighten you? How about I buy you a drink as an apology?"

"Thank you just now."

Although the girls were grateful to the burly man for helping them, they were all thinking about other things and asked, "Manager Cao, is the owner here really Mr. Cao Jian?"

"Oh, you know my brother?"

Cao Wei was taken aback and looked at the girls again.

"Yes, we are all artists under his management, and we came here for an audition."

"So it turns out the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. I never expected you guys to be my brother's people."

Cao Wei immediately sighed that his cousin was really too lucky, with so many beautiful girls, no less than his previous wives.

I'm also glad I didn't say anything too offensive, otherwise I would have been in real trouble.

He immediately made arrangements: "I'll have someone book you the best private room right now. Make sure you have a great time."

Dong Jie asked instinctively, "Won't it be very expensive?"

"Little Dong."

The other girls were speechless upon hearing this.

This place is owned by the boss, so even if it's not free, there will definitely be a discount. What's there to be afraid of?
Cao Wei laughed and said, "Since the sisters-in-law are here, everything is free of charge. If I were to charge you, my brother would definitely blame me."

"What sisters-in-law? We're not."

In one sentence, the girls immediately blushed.

But thinking about it, being Cao Jian's woman would definitely be great.

"I'm sorry, I misspoke."

Cao Wei was filled with curiosity. How come such a beautiful girl wasn't his sister-in-law yet? Had his cousin changed his ways?

After settling the girls in, Cao Wei immediately called his cousin: "Brother, is there a girl named Dong Jie at your company? She's drinking and singing here, do you want to come?"

Then he recounted what had happened.

"Dong Jie went to Dynasty International?"

Cao Jian is writing a script at home, which has become his nightly habit.

There are many scripts; write more when you have free time, so you won't be too busy when you need them.

Upon hearing Dong Jie in the karaoke room he was watching, he immediately put down his pen and said with a smile, "I'm coming over now."

I offered the lead role in the TV series "Spring Bright Pigsy" to Dong Jie to see if she would take the initiative.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming here to have fun?"

Soon, Cao Jian arrived at the KTV and happened to hear Dong Jie and Zeng Li singing Wang Fei's "Red Bean".

"Boss, why are you here?"

Everyone was delighted to see Cao Jian.

But Dong Jie immediately remembered what he wanted to do and felt a little embarrassed.

But when they saw Zeng Li deliberately making room between them, they were too embarrassed to look up.

"I heard someone was bullying Xiao Dong, how could I not come?"

Cao Jian smiled and sat down between Dong Jie and Zeng Li, looking concerned.

"thank you boss."

The boss's concern stirred a wave of emotion in Dong Jie's heart.

It seems my boss cares about me quite a bit; dating him seems like a really good idea.
Although Cao Jian's arrival initially made the girls a little awkward, they quickly warmed up to each other by playing dice, singing, and drinking together.

"The boss is really down-to-earth. A boss like that, a boyfriend like that would be great."

Looking at the boss playing with everyone, Dong Jie realized that he had actually grown to like him a little.

More importantly, she also discovered that Zeng Li, Chen Hao, Hu Jing, and others were constantly trying to curry favor with the boss.

Even Zeng Li, who had been losing all the time, leaned on Cao Jianshen with a drunken look on her face.

I don't know if he was really drunk or faking it.

Zeng Li got the second female lead role. Is she thanking her boss and seizing the opportunity?
I can't fall behind!
Thinking of this, Dong Jie picked up a glass of wine and said to Cao Jian, "Boss, thank you for letting me play the female lead. I don't even know how to thank you. I'll toast you."

Before Cao Jian could speak, the other girls egged him on, "Xiao Dong, she's the female lead! How can you just have one drink?"

"How about three cups?"

"no!"

"Stop making a scene, are you trying to get her drunk?"

Looking at the girl who was a little shy but still as youthful as a daffodil, Cao Jian deliberately laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of you if you get her drunk?"

"."

All the women immediately realized that these words clearly carried an implication.

It seems the boss really wants to take advantage.

I envy Dong Jie so much.

At this moment, Zeng Li suggested, "Xiao Dong, since you are so sincere in thanking the boss, why don't we drink a toast together?"

"good idea"

Although the girls were envious, they found the suggestion interesting and immediately cheered again: "Drink the nuptial wine! Drink the nuptial wine!"

"Okay?"

Cao Jian looked at Dong Jie with a smile.

"Um"

Dong Jie looked at the handsome man, nodded shyly, stretched out her jade-like arm and intertwined with Cao Jian's, then took a sip of the wine glass and downed the entire glass in one gulp.

She has made up her mind to be a sensible woman, so this toast can be considered a ritual.

As the alcohol went down, her eyes became even more watery, especially since she already had a low alcohol tolerance.

"Okay!"

Amid the cheers and applause, Cao Jian whispered in Dong Jie's ear, "After drinking the nuptial wine, shouldn't we consummate our marriage?"

"brush"

Upon hearing the words "bridal chamber," Dong Jie's face flushed crimson, and her heart pounded wildly.

I was too busy at work today, so please send it first and I'll revise it later. Thank you.
