Instead of being able to watch helplessly as these two golden-haired men stand by and do nothing, as we are now.

Because of Lü Ming, outside investors have a lot of doubts about Huayue's judgment, and Huayue's stock price has been falling continuously recently for this reason.

It is said that because the stock price has been falling continuously, Pei Siqian, the CEO of Huayue, has publicly stated that he will blacklist Lü Ming and prohibit Huayue from cooperating with Lü Ming.

This is why Lü Ming looked somewhat puzzled after hearing Miss Zhao's question.

Given the relationship between Hua Yue and Lü Ming, isn't Miss Zhao afraid of what Hua Yue might say?

"I disagree!"

Miss Zhao said nonchalantly, as if she didn't take Pei Siqian's words to heart.

"Then you still dare to ask me for this role? Aren't you afraid of Huayue?"

Hearing Xiao Zhao's words, Lü Ming couldn't help but feel curious. He wondered why Xiao Zhao was so arrogant, not even taking their Huayue boss seriously.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Let's not even talk about how my contract is about to expire!"

The young lady, Zhao, looked at Lü Ming casually, then, as if remembering something, she sized him up and continued, "Do you believe that if I could get that role, they would treat me like royalty! Hurry up, can I have this role?"

After hearing what Miss Zhao said, Lü Ming finally understood why she had been so arrogant.

She was completely unconcerned about Huayue's threats because her contract was about to expire. After all, as one of Huayue's cash cows, not being bound by a contract allowed her to turn the tables and become the one in control, while Huayue was the one in the passive position.

Besides, if Miss Zhao gets this role, she'll be able to choose any company in the industry.

Although "Boss & Me" was overshadowed by "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" in terms of popularity, it didn't have a big impact on the person in front of us, whose popularity remains extremely high.

With the support of several high-quality works, she has firmly established herself as a top-tier actress.

Even if they hadn't gotten the role from Lü Ming, it wouldn't have affected the popularity of the person in front of them.

After all, no company would refuse such a top-tier female star.

"Xiao Zhao, this role isn't suitable for you!"

After thinking for a moment, and considering the favor shown to him by speaking up for him, Lü Ming didn't try to appease Miss Zhao. Instead, he spoke directly to her.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Miss Zhao didn't show much regret. Instead, she asked Lü Ming with some curiosity, "Do you already have someone in mind? Tell me, let me guess! It shouldn't be Dilraba. If it were Dilraba, all sorts of hype would have already started, not to mention your partner is still out there doing endorsements every day. Since it's not Dilraba, then could it be Gulnazar?"

"It's definitely her! I saw that President Cai was grinning from ear to ear just now, it must be her!"

Upon hearing Miss Zhao's words, Lü Ming did not reply, but simply smiled knowingly.

"Little brother, I'm starting to have serious doubts about you!"

Seeing Lü Ming's smile, Miss Zhao looked at him seriously, then glanced at him with a hint of suspicion and said, "Do you only work with girls you've had rumors or relationships with? If so, how about I? I'm single, so you won't lose out if we date. And if there are any good roles in the future, you can consider me!"

Looking at the somewhat fierce young Zhao in front of him, Lü Ming was also a little overwhelmed.

Why does this young lady Zhao look a little different from the one she appears to be?

With that round face, at first glance you'd think she was some quiet girl, how come she's so fierce?

"Sis, let's turn off the lights and have a detailed chat sometime!"

Lu Ming nodded and spoke to Miss Zhao, his eyes seemingly filled only with a pure longing for her.

"Bah, scumbag!"

The young lady Zhao gave Lü Ming a disdainful look, then stood up and said to him, "If there are any roles in the future, remember to consider me!"

After saying that, he waved and left.

After Xiao Zhao left, a number of other entertainment company bosses and some well-known artists and celebrities came over to say hello, subtly and overtly discussing the characters in "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City".

However, despite the various tempting offers they made, Lü Ming said nothing and simply told them to wait for the audition notification.

Hearing Lü Ming's words, everyone was somewhat disappointed, but they still chatted with him warmly for a while before leaving.

Not far away, Sister Zheng, sitting in the back, looked at Lü Ming, who was being fawned over by everyone, and then at Dilraba and Gulnazar sitting on either side of Lü Ming. The fire of jealousy in her eyes seemed to be burning.

If only she hadn't broken up with Lü Ming back then.

So now she should be sitting in Dilraba and Gulnazar's positions, enjoying the adulation of others.

In Zheng Jie's opinion, Gulnazar and Dilraba were only able to reach their top positions because of Lü Ming's connections.

Even Zheng Jie, a former top star, could only sit in the second row, towards the back.

Even this was only arranged for Sister Zheng by Su Mang's side, who were considering the potential publicity stunts to come.

Otherwise, given all the controversies surrounding Sister Zheng recently, it wouldn't be unreasonable to even arrange for her to sit in the last row.

However, Gulnazar and Dilraba, seemingly with an air of superiority, managed to get the front seats by relying on Lü Ming.

Dilraba is alright, after all, she has become one of the top actresses thanks to "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer". But what about Gulnazar?
What is she?
She's just an obscure, unremarkable actress.

In Sister Zheng's eyes, Nazha is incomparable to her, let alone to some other third-tier female celebrities.

Aside from her face, Nazha has almost nothing.

Having been in the film and television industry for so long, he doesn't even have a single representative work; he relies entirely on his looks as a gimmick.

Even though Sister Zheng has been criticized for so many years, she still has at least one representative work.

It was only because of her relationship with Lü Ming that she was able to get a front-row position; otherwise, given Nazha's status, she would definitely have been relegated to the very back.

"You damn idiot, why don't you just die!"

Seeing the gloating looks in the eyes of the female celebrities beside her, Sister Zheng couldn't help but curse Lü Ming in her heart.

Compared to Sister Zheng, Wu Qian, who had just entered the banquet hall, looked rather disheveled.

Wu Qian originally planned to imitate Lü Ming's behavior, walk the red carpet again, and attract a lot of attention.

However, his idea had only been implemented for a few minutes when Su Mang had him kicked off the red carpet. Not only did he fail to gain any attention, he also lost face badly.

Why?
Why was it that when Lü Ming walked the red carpet for the second time, Su Mang excitedly rushed over to polish his shoes? Her enthusiastic manner made it seem as if she were seeing some kind of high-ranking official.

When Wu Qian walked the red carpet for the second time, instead of helping him wipe his shoes, his security guards even forcibly removed him from the scene in front of countless spectators.

After looking around the venue, Wu Qian quickly spotted his agent waving at him from the very back, urging him to come over.

"I'll do it?"

Wu Qian looked at his secluded spot, then pointed to Lü Ming sitting at the front not far away, and said with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Stop messing around, don't you know what's going on with that guy right now!"

"You're lucky to have a seat! If you don't want it, the company can give it to someone else!"

Upon hearing the anger in Wu Qian's words, the agent said irritably.

Upon hearing his agent's words, Wu Qian immediately became obedient.

Even for Wu Qian, such an opportunity was a rare chance to shine, and he was unwilling to give it up to someone else.

Wu Qian knew perfectly well that the younger generation in the company were eyeing him covetously and would not let go of any opportunity to replace him.

"You damn fool, you'll die a horrible death!"

As Wu Qian entered the venue, he looked at Lü Ming, who was surrounded by a crowd not far away, his eyes filled with resentment. He wished he could take Lü Ming's place and be the one being fawned over by the crowd.

Back when they appeared together on Teacher Huang's variety show, Wu Qian was a rising star and a major draw.

And what about Lü Ming back then?

He's just a washed-up celebrity whose career is on the verge of collapse and who doesn't have much buzz anymore.

At the time, Wu Qian didn't take Lü Ming seriously at all, thinking that it wouldn't be long before Lü Ming disappeared from the circle.

After all, a minor celebrity like Lü Ming, who doesn't have much popularity or traffic, will quickly fade away if no one is willing to support him, and then he won't be able to leave even if he doesn't want to.

Unexpectedly, not only did Lü Ming not leave the industry, but he also became more and more successful, and now he has completely left them far behind.

Given the current gap between them, although Wu Qian was unwilling to admit defeat, he knew very well how big the gap was, and he didn't even have much courage to catch up.

After all, not everyone is as prodigious as Lü Ming.

Just then, a group of people walked into the venue.

Upon seeing this group of figures, the previously noisy venue instantly fell silent. Almost everyone unconsciously looked at the group of people who had entered, and then glanced at Lü Ming sitting not far away, their eyes filled with curiosity, as if they were anticipating something.

"How dare they even show their faces here?"

After seeing the group of people who walked in, Dilraba said with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.

Among those who walked in were Huang Yingdi and Hong Lei, who had previously written long posts online and incited netizens to cyberbully Lü Ming.

Dilraba didn't have a good attitude towards the two of them. She knew very well the impact that what Huang Yingdi and Hong Lei had done on Lü Ming back then.

To put it bluntly, given the public opinion at the time, it was only because Lü Ming had a broad-minded personality that he was able to avoid being driven to depression.

Fortunately, "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" became a huge hit, a phenomenal online drama, which completely reversed the online public opinion.

Although their actions didn't have much impact on Lü Ming, and even indirectly promoted Lü Ming's drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," Dilraba still didn't have much affection for them and felt quite disgusted by them.

"Exactly, that's shameless!"

Naza, unusually, stood on the same side as Dilraba, looking at Huang Yingdi and Hong Lei with the same disgust.

"it's okay no problem!"

"If a dog bites you, do you expect it to bite back?"

Seeing the two angry people, Lü Ming comforted them, not taking Huang Yingdi and Hong Lei seriously at all.

Before "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" became a hit, neither of them could have much of an impact on Lü Ming, let alone now.

It's important to understand that the phenomenal success of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" meant more than just a turnaround in public opinion for Lü Ming; more importantly, it laid a solid foundation for him and built a strong competitive advantage.

Even during this period, Lu Ming's haters have become much more obedient because of the explosive popularity of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".

"No, did you really say that?"

Compared to Gulnazar, Dilraba knew much more about Lü Ming. She looked at Lü Ming with a hint of surprise on her face, as if she couldn't believe that he had said those words.

"I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"I don't have the habit of biting dogs; I just like to smack and kill the dog that bites me!"

Lu Ming's face darkened. He felt that Dilraba had a deep misunderstanding of him and needed to correct it so that she would know his humility and magnanimity.

"This is right!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Dilraba's face lit up with realization, as if to say, "This is the person I know."

After entering the venue, Huang Yingdi and Hong Lei also noticed the strange situation inside. Looking at Lü Ming, who was sitting in the center of the front row not far away, a strange expression flashed across their faces.

For the two of them, they would absolutely not have wanted to come if it weren't for some special circumstances.

"Little Huang, is that the little guy?"

At this moment, the middle-aged man surrounded by Huang Yingdi and his group also noticed the atmosphere in the venue. Remembering what Huang Yingdi had mentioned to him, he waved to Huang Yingdi and said casually to him.

"Yes!"

Huang Yingdi quickly spoke up.

He specifically sought out Director Lu Chuan in the industry today, hoping that Lu Chuan could help him mediate and ease the conflict between him and Lü Ming.

Although Lü Ming doesn't have much influence on him right now, since one is in the television industry and the other in the film industry, Huang Yingdi still doesn't want to offend such a potential big shot.

After all, the conflict between the two of them hadn't reached the point of being irreconcilable.

If this famous director could mediate and ease the tension between them, why not?
