Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Wang Tian said excitedly.

"I have to have a drink with you. I'm going to be a man with a sugar daddy now."

"You helped me today, and I'll repay you tenfold when I make it big in the film industry. Then, the contact information I give you won't be that of a female student anymore; it'll be a female celebrity's private number."

Li Haoyu rolled his eyes at Wang Tian.

"I don't know how your movies are doing, but you're definitely a master at making empty promises."

"But forget about female celebrities' contact information, I find those people disgusting. You might as well send me a few more bottles of Romanée-Conti, that way I can give them away or exchange them for cash even if I don't drink them myself."

Wang Tian's eyes widened in surprise.

"How can you say that? It makes me sound like a brothel madam. Don't you know I'm just a matchmaker? Do you think they wouldn't mess around if I didn't introduce them?"

Just then, a waiter carrying a piece of grilled meat walked by.

Wang Tian quickly stopped him, "Give us some roasted whole lamb and oysters."

He handed the baking tray to Li Haoyu.

"The barbecue here is pretty good, please eat more and don't be shy."

Li Haoyu rolled his eyes at Wang Tian.

"Your attempt to use someone else's talent to curry favor is too low-class. This is the chef I hired; do you need to tell me?"

However, that's what Li Haoyu said.

He still accepted the roasted meat that Wang Tian handed him.

He took a couple of bites with his chopsticks, saying as he ate, "Just don't forget what I told you. Keep the role for me. If not, give me the role that was originally given to someone else."

Wang Tian immediately nodded and promised, "Don't worry about that. You've already said it. I can't possibly embarrass you. I'll take care of this."

"As long as I'm here, I won't let you down..."

Wang Tian was like an electric toy with a switch flipped.

He began to profess his loyalty incessantly.

When Wang Tian got emotional, the fat on his face would jiggle.

This made Li Haoyu unable to hold back.

Wang Tian's words were so cheesy that he was so embarrassed he wanted to leave.

Li Haoyu quickly interrupted him.

"Alright, I've got your attitude. If you really want to thank me, just focus on making your own movie first."

"Just don't make me lose money, otherwise my illustrious investment history will be tarnished because of you."

Li Haoyu picked up the oysters from the baking tray and started eating.

Wang Tian's words came to an abrupt halt.

"What you're saying is putting a lot of pressure on me."

"My investment in a single film, no matter how big, is only ten or twenty million. But your daily investment amounts are figures I wouldn't even dare to dream of."

"If I were to break your invincible streak, I would be committing a grave sin. Why don't you just support me when the movie is released? Let's put the investment aside for now..."

Wang Tian's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.

He admitted he chickened out in the end.

After all, reputation is sometimes much more important than money.

This is especially important for someone like Li Haoyu who is not short of money at all.

Li Haoyu put down the oyster shells he had finished eating, looking completely indifferent.

"If you really fail, just carry the guilt for the rest of your life. As for the idea of ​​being invincible, that's pure nonsense. It's like a woman's hymen—it looks beautiful, but it will eventually be broken."

Wang Tian's expression changed, and he was about to speak.

A voice suddenly came from behind Li Haoyu.

"Scumbag!"

It turned out that Qiu Yingying had appeared behind them at some point.

Even Li Haoyu felt a little embarrassed.

Qiu Yingying's eavesdropping behavior was unethical and lacked any sense of martial arts.

Li Haoyu and Wang Tian exchanged a knowing glance.

Li Haoyu continued to eat the whole roasted lamb with his head down.

At this moment, Wang Tian said, "No wonder this mutton is so tender. It's all thanks to this layer of oil on the surface. If you hadn't explained it to me, I really wouldn't have known this little trick."

"I've learned something, I really learned something today."

"Hahaha……......"

Wang Tian came up with an excuse.

Qiu Yingying then readily agreed.

After all, she didn't do it on purpose.

However, Qiu Yingying overheard their conversation without their consent.

This is still not a good thing.

"Hey beautiful, let's have a drink!"

Wang Tian picked up a bottle of beer directly.

"Let's give a toast to the organizers of tonight's banquet."

Let's have a drink!

Qiu Yingying also had a drink, officially joining the conversation. However, Qiu Yingying's conversational skills were nowhere near those of the two seasoned veterans.

The two also covered a particularly wide range of topics.

From the future of the film industry and the results of recent sports games to the latest delicious restaurants that have opened.

The two of them talked at length.

Qiu Yingying, who was standing to the side, listened with great interest.

Li Haoyu was also secretly plotting something mischievous. He deliberately interjected a veiled joke every now and then during his conversation with Wang Tian.

At first glance, Qiu Yingying didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

It didn't take long for him to realize what was going on.

Her face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

.........

After several rounds of drinks...

Li Haoyu remained unfazed.

Qiu Yingying drank a few cocktails, but they also affected her face.

Wang Tianze was clearly drunk; he could barely stand.

He sighed, "Sigh, although the film investment has been secured, I still feel uneasy and uncertain."

Li Haoyu was already about 70% full by this time.

This was the most comfortable state for Li Haoyu, and he planned to have a couple more drinks later before stopping.

Li Haoyu quietly took Qiu Yingying's hand.

She tried to struggle several times, but still couldn't break free.

Qiu Yingying simply accepted her fate.

Qiu Yingying suddenly noticed Wang Tian's sad expression.

She subtly nudged Li Haoyu's arm.

Li Haoyu remained motionless.

Qiu Yingying did this so that Wang Tian wouldn't hear.

She could only whisper in Li Haoyu's ear, "Wang Tian isn't your good friend anymore. He's in so much pain, and you're not even going to say a word of comfort."

Li Haoyu smiled and whispered in Qiu Yingying's ear.

"You don't dislike Wang Tian, ​​and you think he's a bad friend of mine. Why are you still speaking up for him?"

Qiu Yingying felt uncomfortable in her ear from the breath Li Haoyu exhaled.

"Say it or don't, he's your friend, not mine."

After Qiu Yingying finished speaking, she turned her head away and began to sulk.

Seeing Qiu Yingying's state, Li Haoyu also felt a little itchy to try it himself.

These are the days we spent filming the promotional video.

Andy and Qiu Yingying have always lived together.

Li Haoyu had no suitable opportunity to make a move, and was forced to become a monk who strictly adhered to the rules for a few days.

Li Haoyu saw Qiu Yingying's angry expression.

He wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he became even more interested.

Li Haoyu raised his glass and said to Wang Tian.

"If you fail, you've essentially started your own business. If you could succeed every time, the success rate would be ridiculously high."

"However, I can be your angel investor. Even if this movie fails, it's okay, I can still invest in you again."

"However, I have one small request regarding that money: please don't make any romance films. Just make realistic films that you like. Even if you fail again, at least you'll have done justice to your dreams."

Wang Tian, ​​who was originally half-awake and half-drunk, suddenly became energetic.

This made Li Haoyu suspicious.

Is this fat guy pretending to be drunk to get him to say that?

He suddenly sat up straight: "If I fail the second time too, can you help me one more time?"

"Don't get your hopes up. If you fail twice in a row, it just means you're really not cut out for making movies. You might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes."

"Hahaha!"

When Li Haoyu said that...

Both Qiu Yingying and Wang Tian laughed.

However, Wang Tian did laugh.

He also knew that Li Haoyu seemed to be joking.

In reality, he was reassuring himself and giving him confidence.

Wang Tian suddenly felt a deep sense of emotion.

Li Haoyu felt uncomfortable seeing Wang Tian looking so moved with his head down; he didn't feel as comfortable as when Wang Tian was chatting away earlier.

Li Haoyu picked up an unopened glass of beer from the ground.

"Alright, men shouldn't dawdle like this. It's late, I need to rest too. You should go to your room and sleep as well."

As a result, Wang Tian simply snatched the beer from Li Haoyu.

"Since we've come this far, I have nothing more to say."

"All I can show off is a bottle of beer."

Seeing this, Li Haoyu simply took Qiu Yingying's hand and left.

Li Haoyu saw off Wang Tian, ​​who was beaming with excitement.

This fatso actually wants to perform something so boring.

He must have really drunk too much to have such outrageous ideas.

He could use this time to exercise with Qiu Yingying a little more.

Isn't it fragrant?

However, Li Haoyu could roughly understand why Wang Tian was so emotional.

Before Li Haoyu obtained the film simulator, he had a cousin who drove an S-Class Mercedes, but that didn't affect his life as an ordinary person at all.

The only difference is that the New Year's Eve dinner can be of a higher standard.

Li Haoyu didn't benefit from it at all.

He might not have said it when he was young, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied.

However, Li Haoyu later figured it out.

His relationship with his cousin wasn't very close.

Helping is a favor, not helping is one's right.

There's nothing to complain about; it's your own fault for not being capable enough. If you were good enough, the other party would definitely be happy to lend a hand.

However, Li Haoyu himself also had a lot of problems during that time. His life after get off work was quite decadent; as soon as he got home from work, he would lock himself in the door and play video games.

He never even considered visiting them. Therefore, no one is obligated to help him, so he shouldn't feel resentful.

Now Li Haoyu has the ability on his own.

Actually, I don't mind helping a friend out casually.

In particular, Wang Tian himself is capable, and even without his own abilities, he would not stop pursuing his dreams.

They are completely different from those who are usually talkative and have their own opinions on everything, but when it comes to crucial moments, they are passive, negative, and unwilling to fight for anything, preferring to reap the benefits without effort.

Li Haoyu also has his own principles when helping others.

I hate incompetent people the most, and it's also the kind of situation where you help someone in an emergency but not in a long-term one.

Li Haoyu is willing to help with uncontrollable accidents like acute illnesses in the family. But he would refuse loans from people who want to save face by buying a new car.

However, there is one exception.

That means their relationship is really strong.

Li Haoyu probably wouldn't even ask for a reason; he'd just ask for a bank card number and transfer the money directly.

However, Li Haoyu has only had one or two friends with this kind of relationship in all his years of life.

There are only these two people.

Li Haoyu still felt he was lucky enough.

…………

Li Haoyu's actions puzzled Qiu Yingying, who was standing nearby.

"Why are you pulling me away? I still want to see what this 'Xuanjiu' is all about!"

Li Haoyu stopped in his tracks.

"If you want to see it now, you can go back and take a look, but you should be mentally prepared."

"What preparations?"

"He was prepared to vomit on you. Wang Tian was really drunk this time, otherwise he wouldn't have said such outrageous things."

Qiu Yingying was startled by Li Haoyu's words.

She disliked people who reeked of alcohol, let alone those who might vomit on her.

The scene was so beautiful that Qiu Yingying couldn't even imagine it.

"Then I won't watch anymore, let's go back quickly."

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "I thought I was the only one who couldn't stand it. You go back to the hotel and wait for me. I need to talk to Andy about something."

Qiu Yingying looked surprised.

"It's so late, what could be going on between you and Sister Andy?"

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "It's not that I admired her abilities; I offered her a job. Now I want to know how it all went."

Qiu Yingying was immediately happy.

Is this true?

"Then I can be colleagues with Andy, and I won't have to be alone at the company anymore."

Li Haoyu thought to himself: I wonder if Qiu Yingying will still be as happy as she is now if she meets Andy in bed.

Li Haoyu patted Qiu Yingying's bottom.

"Alright, go back to your room and take a shower while you wait for me. I'll be there soon, so remember to change your clothes beforehand. I like black."

As Li Haoyu spoke, he stuffed his hotel room key into Qiu Yingying's hand.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. You and Andy chat quickly."

Li Haoyu nodded.

"Don't worry about that, it'll be resolved in a few words. Besides, why would I keep you waiting for something like this?"

Li Haoyu returned to the spot where he had been chatting with Andy.

Everyone's having a great time now.

Even some of the lower-level leaders in the production team put aside their airs and personally sang and danced.

However, Andy seemed a little hesitant.

There were several empty wine glasses next to him.

Li Haoyu watched Andy's retreating figure, and felt a surge of urge to commit a crime.

With an upright posture.

Curved and exquisite.

Because of her regular workouts, she also possessed a unique beauty. In the dim light, Li Haoyu could even see the black bra strap underneath the white one.

His interest in Andy suddenly increased.

After all, men like things that are pleasing to the eye.

The love of beauty is human nature; there's nothing to hide or be ashamed of. However, Li Haoyu's idea went a step further. He wanted to possess this beauty within himself.

Let me handle it myself.

"What's your decision? I've given you enough time."

Andy saw Li Haoyu return and said, "I've made my decision, but before that, I want to ask you one last question. Is that alright?"

Li Haoyu spread his hands: "Of course, feel free to ask."

"What will you do if Snail Games' IPO fails?"

Andy stared at Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "I allow this to happen, and Snail Games can naturally do the same. Accept it... and then change it."

That's my answer.
