Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

After Chapter 139, let's each discuss our own issues.

"No! Dad, are you kidding me?!"

Wang Sicong smashed his wine glass on the glass turntable, staring at the richest man, Wang, with disbelief: "I'm five years older than him, and you expect me to call him uncle?"

"Age doesn't mean anything."

Wang, the richest man, glanced at his son and said indifferently.

Having climbed to his current position, Wang, the richest man in China, is quite confident in his own judgment.

He could tell that Chen Xiu was no ordinary person, and that his son was far inferior to him in terms of ability.

What's particularly remarkable is that Chen Xiu is only in her early twenties, yet she handles things with impeccable manners. This dignified and cautious approach makes Wang, the richest man in China, believe that Chen Xiu can go even further.

Wang, the richest man in China, knew he couldn't use such a capable young talent, so he hoped Wang Sicong could befriend Chen Xiu so he could rely on him in the future.

As a result, Wang Sicong, that good-for-nothing bastard, didn't understand his father's good intentions at all, and saw Chen Xiu still howling there.

Left with no other choice, Wang, the richest man in China, had to personally step in to help Chen Xiu elevate her seniority.

He wanted to use his authority to suppress Wang Sicong, and also planned to have Chen Xiu act as an elder so that if Wang Sicong fell into a trap in the future, he, as the "uncle," could lend a helping hand.

That's a good idea, but Wang Sicong just doesn't appreciate it!

"No, I'm older than him. It's one thing for you to ask me to be friends with him, but why are you asking me to acknowledge him as my uncle?"

In a moment of panic, Wang Sicong revealed everything he had discussed with Wang the richest man before dinner.

In dealing with people and things, one must have the ability to adapt to changing circumstances; how can one be biased towards one side?
Wang Shoufu fully agreed with and understood what Chen Xiu had just said, but Wang Sicong hadn't listened to a word of it.

Seeing Wang Sicong's relentless complaints, the richest man's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he said in a stern voice, "What do you call me?"

"Um, Dad."

Wang Sicong shouted subconsciously.

This father-son relationship is something he is very proud of, and he will reflexively mention it when asked.

Wang, the richest man, continued, "Then what should you call my friend?"

"Uncle."

"Chen Xiu is my friend, what do you call him?"

"Sigh~~"

After a bout of toothache, Wang Sicong chose not to respond: "Dad, this kind of play is no fun."

"Mr. Wang, if he's not willing, then forget it," Chen Xiu said, offering timely advice.

However, saying such things at this time seems more like stirring up trouble.

After all, Old Wang is so concerned about his reputation, and being contradicted by his own son in front of him is already making him lose face.

Chen Xiu's words of persuasion made him realize that what he had said to Wang Sicong was no longer effective, and that was unacceptable.

Do you acknowledge this uncle or not?

Wang, the richest man, spoke with unusual calm. His previously stern expression had become indifferent, though his eyes looked somewhat frightening.

Under his gaze, Wang Sicong's initial reluctance quickly faded, and he finally shrank back, his expression blank, as if recalling the fear of being dominated in his youth...

Swallowing hard, Wang Sicong turned to Chen Xiu with an embarrassed expression: "Um, Uncle Chen, hello."

There was neither reluctance nor resistance; in fact, there was a hint of obedience.

Upon hearing this address, Chen Xiu pursed her lips and reached under the table to pinch her thigh muscles hard in an attempt to distract herself.

After a moment, he composed himself to ensure a dignified ending for both of them.

"I really can't accept being addressed as 'Young Master Wang,' but since I've already been addressed as such, it would be very impolite to object. I can't let down Mr. Wang's kindness."

"How about this, from now on we'll each keep to our own terms. In private, when the three of us are together, I'll call him nephew, and when we bump into each other outside, he'll call me brother, okay?"

Chen Xiu clapped her hands, expressing her satisfaction with the suggestion she had made.

Wang, the richest man, nodded and did not object.

Only Wang Sicong, who understood the logical relationships, had some reservations about this arrangement.

"No matter how you calculate it, I'm still younger than you. I'm five years older than you, so if we run into each other outside, do I have to call you 'brother'?"

"Don't worry so much about age. Most of the people who call me 'brother' are older than me."

Chen Xiu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.

Of course he doesn't mind, but Wang Sicong does!
"No, if we bump into each other outside, you should be the one calling me 'brother,' that way we'll treat each other as family, right?"

Chen Xiu stopped waving her hand, glanced at him, and said, "I can't call out."

"why?"

“You seem a bit naive, the kind of person who is easily teased by girls without realizing it, and I mind that a little bit.”

Chen Xiu gestured with her fingers, implying she was willing to respond to anything.

Hearing his words, Wang Sicong was so angry he laughed: "Pshaw—, you say I'm easily fooled by girls without realizing it? Do you know how many girlfriends I have?"

"I don't know, and I don't care. My personal advice is that you shouldn't have so many girlfriends."

"You're just jealous!"

"hehe."

Chen Xiu smiled without saying a word, only turning to look at the silent Wang the richest man, indicating that she was saving him face. However, Wang the richest man personally demonstrated how a father can trick his son: "Don't worry about me! You're his uncle now, just say what you want to say."

Wang Sicong, who was already furious, fell silent the moment he heard his father's words.

But his eyes were still fixed on Chen Xiu, wanting to hear what this "little uncle" thought about his decision to find a girlfriend.

Seeing this, Chen Xiu stopped trying to hide it.

"The more girlfriends you date, the more obvious your hobbies will become. As long as you collect enough data, one day you will find a girlfriend who is customized just for you and makes you think that everything about her is perfect. But she... hehe."

That "heh" sound was like a pot of burning kerosene to Wang Sicong, making him want to curse Chen Xiu.

This sound, however, is like a bucket of icy water poured over one's head.

His anger was extinguished, and Wang Sicong still wanted to retort, but the richest man in China started to lash out first.

"That's the truth! You really think you're so handsome? Those women are just after your money!"

"Dad, what's wrong with you..."

"Mr. Wang, even if it's true, there's no need to say it out loud. After all, he has his pride too."

Chen Xiu's persuasion actually got Wang the richest man to give him face and not bother Wang Sicong anymore. At the same time, it made Wang Sicong think: This bastard seems not so bad after all...

After discussing generational differences for so long, we've finally come to a complete stop.

After a moment of silence, the three of them tacitly began their business for the day: eating and drinking!

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, Wang, the richest man, took advantage of his drunken state to bring up another topic.

"Chen Xiu, after the movie we collaborated on is released, shouldn't your company's Series A financing round be officially launched around that time?"

"Yeah, no problem."

Chen Xiu nodded. He had already reached an agreement on the Series A financing when he played golf with Wang, the richest man, last time.

The success of "Detective Chinatown" only made the valuation of Datang Film & Television more accurate, so that no one would suffer a loss.

When the topic of cooperation came up, after confirming it, Wang, the richest man in China, broadened the subject further.

"What a pity! If you had come to talk to me about cooperation in February, I could have given you another gift."

"What's the gift?"

"It's the movie that's been getting a lot of publicity this year, the big-budget film 'The Great Wall' by Legendary Pictures and Zhang Yimou! The cast was confirmed in February this year. If you had come then, you would have been a major role."

"Hehe, I don't actually love acting that much."

Chen Xiu smiled politely, then paused with her chopsticks, a sudden curiosity arising in her mind.

Putting down his chopsticks, wiping his mouth, and looking at Wang, whose cheeks were beginning to flush, Chen Xiu said, "Mr. Wang, there's something I've always been curious about. I wonder if it's convenient to ask?"

"Tell me! We've already talked this much today, is there anything you can't ask?"

"Oh, it's Jing Tian..."

When this name was mentioned, Chen Xiu stopped abruptly.

Because he saw Wang Shoufu's smile freeze, and Wang Sicong suddenly looking up at him.

With an awkward laugh, Chen Xiu continued, "Can't I mention her?"

"Well, her situation is a bit special. Congcong, you tell her about it."

The usually generous richest man, Wang, suddenly became somewhat vague in his speech.

Upon receiving his father's instructions, Wang Sicong, with his food still in his mouth, looked at Chen Xiu with a gossipy expression: "I'm forbidden from discussing her in public. You want to date her?"

"No, it was just out of curiosity," Chen Xiu quickly clarified.

He's not stupid; judging from the reactions of the Wang family father and son, he can already deduce a lot of things.

First of all, Wang Sicong had already said "It is forbidden to discuss Jing Tian in public" once when he was on a TV show.

Given this guy's fearless nature, if Jing Tian were someone's girlfriend, unless that person was far, far above the Wang family, he would dare to criticize even if she were a shareholder of Wanda.

But why would someone so far superior to the Wang family be so ostentatiously promoting their girlfriend? And why would they promote her while losing money, seemingly completely unconcerned about the cost?

Aren't you afraid of attracting attention and getting yourself into trouble by being so high-profile?

Chen Xiu felt there were many suspicious points here. The only thing he was certain of was that this young lady, Jing Tian, ​​was definitely not simple.

The best course of action is to avoid provoking such people.

Upon hearing that Chen Xiu didn't intend to pursue Jing Tian, ​​Wang Sicong's expression turned somewhat sullen.

"If you're curious, you can ask other female celebrities! Jing Tian doesn't have any gossip surrounding her. I do know some things about Yang Mi, and Lin Genxin has also mentioned Liu Shishi..."

"Thank you, I don't feel so curious anymore."

Chen Xiu raised a glass of wine and toasted Wang Sicong from afar, thus skipping over the topic.

After drinking, one's mind tends to wander, and a gossipy streak sets in... I should drink less in the future!
Feeling slightly tipsy, Chen Xiu put down her wine glass, then leisurely got up to say goodbye and leave.

"Mr. Wang, nephew, shall we call it a day?"

"Okay, sure!"

Having finished speaking, the richest man, Wang, nodded silently and did not try to persuade his guests to stay.

Wang Sicong glanced sideways at Chen Xiu, sensing that Chen Xiu disliked how he addressed him.
