Game within game: chess player

Neway is a well-known business nightclub in Hong Kong. It is expensively decorated and a night's consumption is worth a lot of money. It is usually the place chosen for company team building and business entertainment.

Yang Mingzhen booked the largest luxury private room and asked a professional marketing company to decorate the entire private room. The room was filled with ears of wheat, which means "barley". He also ordered a twelve-story cake with the cake on top. The words "box office hit" were written on it. The whole ceremony was grand. The people who attended the celebration were all the middle and senior management of Warner Films and some companies were trying to promote celebrities. It can be said that it gave Lan Xin enough face.

People who are familiar with the history of Warner Film and Television naturally know that Lan Xin has the background of a big boss behind the scenes of Warner, so she has become the role that the company is favoring this year. Those who don’t know think that Lan Xin is the lover of a certain big boss, and that’s why she gained the favor of capital. In a short period of time, she was able to play the lead role in a movie.

Ye Fang did not tell Yang Mingzhen and Lan Xin that they had also booked a private room in the same nightclub, and planned to check the situation later and call them over to express condolences.

Ye Fang ordered a fruit plate and a bottle of red wine, and then sat on the sofa with Lu Jiuge and Luo Zhong, drinking wine and enjoying Nan Yi's singing. Lu Jiuge and Luo Zhong were worried that drinking would affect their reaction ability, so they only drank water. The three of them just sat on the sofa and chatted, letting Nan Yi dominate the microphone.

It was obvious that Nan Yi had not received any formal training in music and singing before. If he sang out of tune, it would be like noise. However, for people with high IQs, music is not something that is too simple once they take it seriously. After listening to the original song twice, Nan Yi basically imitated it and quickly turned it into his own style. This opened up Nan Yi's musical abilities, and he sang better and better, so that in the end many waiters They gathered at the door thinking that the singer was in the private room.

"That's okay?!" Ye Fang never imagined that people with high IQs really learn anything very quickly.

Nan Yi sang for more than an hour before he stopped. With a flushed face, he sat back next to Ye Fang and drank heavily. Ye Fang gave Nan Yi a thumbs up and said jokingly, "I think you will stay in Warner Bros." Well, I’ll let Yang Mingzhen make you a big star.”

"I don't, there's no challenge in this thing." Nan Yi said nonchalantly.

"Have you finished singing? Let's go back?" Ye Fang asked.

"No, I want to sing and play for a while more." After saying that, Nan Yi stood up again to choose a song and open up his voice.

"Take it easy, your voice won't be able to bear it after singing for a long time." Ye Fang instructed with a smile.

Nan Yi smiled and didn't care at all.

At this time, Ye Fang turned to Lu Jiuge and asked, "Jiuge, do you have any ideas for the future?"

"Ideas?!" Lu Jiuge obviously did not understand the meaning of Ye Fang's words. For Lu Jiuge, the duty of a soldier is to obey. He obviously did not understand the meaning of Ye Fang's words. He seemed to feel that Ye Fang wanted to express something to him. Lu Jiuge thought for a moment and said, "I think it's good for us to follow Mr. Ye now."

"You don't belong to me, but to the country. Like you, I will have times when I can't help myself. I think you can consider retiring." After saying this, Ye Fang looked at Lu Jiuge deeply, and even Luo Zhong listened attentively. Following Ye Fang's words.

"Even if people of our status retire, they are not completely free." Lu Jiuge said directly.

Ye Fang nodded in agreement and said, "If one day I am no longer in charge of Jiutian, will you and your brothers be willing to follow me?"

Ye Fang's sudden question made Lu Jiuge at a loss for what to do. He didn't understand why Ye Fang asked this. Isn't Jiutian under Ye Fang's control now? Although there will definitely be handover issues in the future, at least it is not an issue that has been considered in recent years. Of course, according to Lu Jiuge's understanding, once Ye Fang no longer controls Jiutian, he will naturally withdraw the ghost team back to Jiutian. As for where to assign tasks in the future, it depends on the arrangements of his superiors.

However, from Lu Jiuge's heart, what they hope most is to work with Ye Fang, because they know that Ye Fang will definitely not treat them badly in the future, and they will not even need to consider things like life, old age, illness and death in the future. Ye Fang will definitely be very Make arrangements for them thoroughly.

But on today's occasion, Ye Fang suddenly asked Lu Jiuge such a sensitive question, which made Lu Jiuge feel that there should be some changes in the foreseeable future.

Lu Jiuge thought quickly and replied directly, "We are willing to follow you!"

"Me too!" Luo Zhong also said directly.

"Okay, what I want is your words." Ye Fang raised his glass and said with a smile.

Then Ye Fang asked Luo Zhong to call Yang Mingzhen and Lan Xin over, and Ye Fang was going to have a drink with them and leave. Soon Yang Mingzhen and Lan Xin came to the private room and saw Ye Fang. Lan Xin even used the strength of the wine to throw herself into Ye Fang's arms, which really surprised Ye Fang.

"Big star, if you do this, there will be gossip tomorrow." Ye Fang said with a smile.

Lan Xin left Ye Fang's arms with a shy look and said sheepishly, "I think this is the only way to express my feelings."

Yang Mingzhen shouted directly from the side, "I might as well pledge myself to you."

After Yang Mingzhen said this, Ye Fang looked at Yang Mingzhen with an expression on his face. Yang Mingzhen was so frightened that she immediately knew that she had made a mistake. She thought that there was no one else here and Ye Fang would not mind, but she was wrong.

Ye Fang's silent pressure made Yang Mingzhen unable to breathe smoothly. Yang Mingzhen pretended to say the wrong thing and slapped himself in the face, saying, "My mouth, I said the wrong thing, don't mind!"

Ye Fang did not continue to delve into this issue, but asked Lu Jiuge to pour red wine for Yang Mingzhen and Lan Xin, and said with a smile, "Let us wish Lan Xin's first movie a success!"

Lan Xin originally thought that Ye Fang wouldn't mind such a joke, and she could use Yang Mingzhen's joke to test Ye Fang's feelings. In the past, Lan Xin naturally had low self-esteem, but now she felt that she should have the capital, but she did not expect that Ye Fang's heart seemed to be made of stone and did not give herself any chance.

Lan Xin sighed inwardly and pretended that nothing had happened. She smiled and drank the red wine with Ye Fang with Yang Mingzhen. At this time, Nan Yi in the private room was still singing happily and did not pay attention to the door. Everything that happened.

Lan Xin had a sad look on her face after she came out of the private room where Ye Fang was. Yang Mingzhen comforted her and said, "There is still a chance, there is still a chance. I don't think Mr. Ye is a person who doesn't understand amorous feelings."

"Mr. Yang, you don't understand Mr. Ye. If he says he doesn't like you, he really doesn't like you. I..."

"Mr. Yang, long time no see!"

Before Lan Xin finished speaking, a malicious greeting came from the front, and the smell of gunpowder could be heard through the air.

"Is it you?" Yang Mingzhen looked up and saw that the person opposite was none other than Li Tailong from Xinghui Entertainment.

Li Tailong had always looked down upon the second-rate agent in front of him, and his eyes fell on the face of Lan Xin next to him. Li Tailong always felt that he had seen Lan Xin somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where. Saw it.

After all, in the chaotic environment of the convention and exhibition center, Li Tailong was not so impressed by Lan Xin who kicked him. Especially now that Lan Xin has changed his appearance and looks like a new star in the entertainment industry, which makes Li Tailong unable to put it aside. Women connect with women kicking themselves in the convention center.

"This is the blue heart that Warner Pictures is promoting this year. I heard that today is your movie premiere? Consider coming to my Xinghui Entertainment. I promise to make you famous in one year, right? Mr. Xu?”

At this time, there was a man standing next to Li Tailong. It was Xu Jinheng, the crown prince of the Xu Group. Xu Jinheng made an appointment with Li Tailong today because he was going to invest in making a movie for his new female companion, but he didn't expect to meet Yang Mingzhen here. Xu Jinheng was not familiar with Yang Mingzhen, and he did not know that the video of his nude photos last year was actually spread by Yang Mingzhen behind the scenes, which ultimately caused Xu's company to fail in the competition for the Haojiang gambling license.

Xu Jinheng still looked like he was too drunk. He took two steps forward and looked Lan Xin up and down. Lan Xin was different from those weak actresses, but had a unique tough beauty, a bit like Taiwanese martial arts actress Yang Lijing. People couldn't help but want to touch it. Xu Jinheng joked, "Stay with me for a week, and I will give you 500 million Hong Kong dollars! How about I vote for you in another movie?"

As he spoke, Xu Jinheng moved his hand towards Lan Xin's face. In Xu Jinheng's memory, there had never been a woman who could refuse him casually, including the money in his hand.

"You are really looking for death!" Yang Mingzhen snorted coldly in his heart.

Sure enough, before Xu Jinheng's hand touched Lan Xin's face, he was knocked away by Lan Xin who was in a bad mood. Then he snorted, "Go home and touch your mother!" Lan Xin kicked Xu Jinheng directly. On the lower abdomen, Xu Jinheng was kicked out and fell to his knees on the ground. He held his stomach for a long time and was speechless, with cold sweat falling down.

"You don't want to fucking live anymore, how dare you hit Mr. Xu!" Li Tailong cursed, but his heart was filled with joy. Lan Xin's kick will definitely annoy Xu Jinheng, and then he can reap the benefits and use Xu Jinheng Dealing with Yang Mingzhen is not a piece of cake for Warner Films.

Xu Jinheng was followed by two bodyguards. When he saw his boss being beaten, he immediately rushed up with fists. Lan Xin looked wary. Who knew that before Lan Xin could take action, Lan Xin felt two figures behind her flash, and in an instant the two bodyguards flew out upside down.

Yang Mingzhen and Lan Xin took a closer look and saw that it was Lu Jiuge and Feidao Luo Zhong beside Ye Fang.

At this time, Ye Fang and Nan Yi walked over from behind. After Ye Fang stood still, Nan Yi put on Ye Fang's coat. Ye Fang didn't even look at Xu Jinheng on the ground, but looked directly at Li Tailong's unhurried look. He said, "Li Tailong, it seems that you didn't take what I said to you back then to heart."

Li Tailong never thought that he would see Ye Fang again here. He had inquired about Ye Fang in many ways and learned that Ye Fang's business focus was not in Hong Kong at all. Warner Pictures was just a casual product of Ye Fang, and Ye Fang almost He doesn't go back to Xiangjiang very often, let alone take care of Warner Films. If he hadn't cared about his boss Xiang Huatian's instructions not to have friction with Warner Films, Li Tailong would have gone to Yang Mingzhen to get into trouble.

But when he saw Ye Fang again this year, Li Tailong was immediately overwhelmed by Ye Fang's momentum and quickly said, "Ye...Ye...Mr. Ye, why are you here? Today is just a misunderstanding, maybe Less...he..."

Li Tailong wanted to blame everything on Xu Jinheng, but he didn't know how to say it. From his perspective, he was also worried about Xu Jinheng's revenge afterwards, so he stammered for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Yang Mingzhen stepped forward and whispered a few words to Ye Fang. Ye Fang nodded and glanced at Li Tailong, which shocked Li Tailong's heart. Ye Fang then turned his attention to Xu Jinheng who was kneeling on the ground. At this time, Xu Jinheng held his stomach and looked at Ye Fang coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "It's you?!"

Xu Jinsheng's eyes looked at Ye Fang with terrifying murderous intent. Li Tailong on the side was slightly surprised. It turned out that Xu Jinheng actually knew Ye Fang. It seemed that the two of them had some feuds. This was a big gain. Li Tailong was secretly surprised in his heart.

"Young Master Xu, I didn't expect that we would meet again." Ye Fang stepped forward and patted Xu Jinheng's face gently, and then slapped Xu Jinheng hard across the face.

Xu Jinheng's face immediately swelled up, and Li Tailong's jaw almost dropped with this slap. No one could shake the status of the Xu family in Xiangjiang represented by Xu Jinheng. No one in Xiangjiang, black or white, dared to touch Xu Jinheng. Family members, let alone slap Xu Jinheng directly.

"Ye Fang, you bastard, how dare you hit me!" Xu Jinheng covered his swollen face and glared angrily.

"This is not the first time I've beaten you. Didn't you remember the beating over the gambling card? Why do you come to provoke my people again?" Ye Fang said coldly.

"Your person, is she your woman?" There was a trace of viciousness deep in Xu Jinheng's eyes. Xu Jinheng had heard a lot of rumors about He Chaoqiong in the past two years. There were rumors that she was dating a mysterious man, and there were even rumors that she had given birth to a child. , in short, Xu Jinheng thought everything that happened to He Chaoqiong was an insult to himself.

At this time, he suddenly heard Ye Fang talking about his woman, which made Xu Jinheng couldn't help but look at Lan Xin a few more times.

"Whether they are mine or not is none of your business! Put away your annoying eyes and stay away from me, otherwise I will make you regret it! Get out!" Ye Fang said coldly.

At this time, Xu Jinheng was helped up by the bodyguard. Xu Jinsheng shook off the bodyguard's arm and said to Ye Fang, "Ye Fang, what happened last time when we returned to Haojiang and what we have done today is not over yet. Just wait!"

Xu Jinsheng said a harsh word, and then ran away with the help of his bodyguard, fearing that Ye Fang would chase him again and beat him up.

"What a fucking loser! Oh, that's right! He really is a loser!" After saying this, Ye Fang couldn't help but burst into laughter, then turned his eyes to Li Tailong, stepped forward and put his arms around Li Tailong's neck, smiling softly but not smiling at all. He said, "Let's have a good chat, let's go!"

"Mr. Ye...don't..."
