Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, I took Jiang Chulan and a few other capable people to the only profitable place opened by the Hou family besides the hospital and the pharmaceutical factory - the largest bar in Linjiang City.

In fact, it is better to say that it is to provide Uncle Hou with a place for unbridled entertainment rather than to say that it is to make money. It is just a cover for making money. For this purpose, he signed an agreement with Lao Fu and Cheng Cheng. He paid a large sum of money to buy out the business. If our family does this kind of business in the future, the scale of the business cannot surpass his.

I didn't bother to care about Lao Fu and Cheng Cheng. As long as Aunt Wen Su turned a blind eye, we wouldn't mind other people's family affairs. I just didn't expect that I was involved in the dirty work of this place. When I arrived at the door, the manager came out quickly to greet me. The wine in the booth was replaced with the treasures in the cabinet, Romanee-Conti and Lafite of the same level as Uncle Hou. But when I asked to see Uncle Hou, he hesitant and tried to evade the question. I was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so I asked Jiang Chulan to cover his mouth away from others and drag him to the corner.

"Sister, it turns out that the manager was not so stupid. He always had a set way to deal with people. Why did he replace him with a fool today?" Jiang Chulan said with a smile while covering the person's mouth with a white cloth.

You Yijie shrugged his shoulders and said, "I heard that the guy happened to be sick and on leave today. This unlucky guy, in fact, was just casually pointed by Uncle Hou to take over for a day and double his salary."

"Salary increase? That's called a poor unlucky guy! That's called the God of Wealth!" Jiang Chulan said and raised his head at me again: "Isn't that right, Master?"

You Yijie: "Sister, have you given him a raise?"

Me: “Ah? Oh, it seems so…”

You Yijie pouted and stretched out his hand: "Sister, I want one too."

The people behind: "Boss, don't be partial..."

My inner thoughts: I was just asking Jiang Chulan to feed a cat! Why did he start an uprising?!

Smiling on the surface: "Okay, all will go up, all will go up..."

"Okay, sister, you can show off now." You Yijie made way for the seat in front of the "unlucky" manager.

I rolled my eyes: "What do you mean by showing off? I am really cool! You just don't know how to talk."

"Brother Feng will only be more ruthless..." You Yijie muttered softly, and after I glared at him, he stepped back with a smile.

I walked up to the unlucky guy, pulled off the white cloth on his mouth, and smiled: "See, we are very friendly, but I really can't afford Uncle Hou's Romanee-Conti. I only look for people, not to cause trouble. You know? It turns out that the manager knows how to deal with the current situation." I looked straight into his eyes, took out a wad of cash from my bag, and quietly stuffed it into his pocket: "You only said a location, and today's matter has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Chulan let the man go, and the uncle breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his head with his sleeve, and pretended to come over with a frown, looking very embarrassed: "The key is that Director Hou said that his family members are not allowed to go in! If you must break in, I have to go and inform him first. Otherwise, you can follow me, and I will go in and talk, and you can block Director Hou as soon as he leaves. This way, you will achieve your goal, and I won't lose my job."

I tilted my neck back and said, "You really know how to do business!"

The uncle patted the dirt off his hat, put it back on with a grin, and said, "I have no other way to support my family~"

"If I add money, will there be any chemical reaction?"

"I don't know about chemical reactions, but I may know a little more about physics." The uncle smiled crookedly and called me over to him mysteriously: "I suggest you be mentally prepared before you go in. There may be an acquaintance of yours who promised not to cause trouble, but you are not allowed to cause trouble when you see her. You people are so unchangeable when you say something. You can't lie to an old man like me."

"Acquaintance?" I was stunned, but I understood it in a moment.

What kind of person could be able to play here with Uncle Hou?

He immediately looked unhappy, and a group of people followed the uncle to the box. They were already at the bar, and the music festival outside was making a lot of noise, but Uncle Hou would still find a quiet place for himself to have fun. The highest and last box had a dazzling gold-rimmed glass dome, and a vertical-striped glass door blocked the view of people. A few figures could be seen vaguely.

Uncle Hou must have been sitting in the middle, with one in each arm. I don't know when he learned to smoke, but before he had completely exhaled the misty blue smoke, he had already kissed the person on his left on the lips. He pushed the cigarette down into her throat as a prank, and the choked beauty pushed him away, lowered her head and couldn't stop coughing, then raised her head and said "hate" in a coquettish voice.

Jiang Chulan seemed to have heard the voice, and she took a breath and pointed at me, staring at me but unable to speak.

I couldn't wait for the uncle to go in and pass the message. Anyway, there's the saying "A gentleman's word is as good as gold" and I didn't say I was a gentleman, so I immediately walked around the people and pushed the door open. Sure enough, the beauty who had just been kissed was Hua Yu, the "dark horse" selected by Keyi Film and Television Department last year. The other one was also not away from my family. It was An Xun, who was dug up for an underground love affair and was accused of riding on the popularity. I reminded each of them to be neither arrogant nor impatient and the latter to take it easy, but it seemed that they didn't listen to a word they said.

If someone really wants to find a leader in the entertainment industry for his own future, I don't care. But he is desperate and tries all kinds of methods. If he really finds a "leader", it will get me in trouble if it is exposed one day.

It was said that the Hou family had worked hard for my health since I was a child. When I grew up, I found out that she was actually my old friend's daughter. They were my adoptive parents. Hua Yu and An Xun were Ke Yi's people, and the film and television department was managed by my confidants. If the rumors spread, wouldn't it mean that I was given away to my adoptive father? How would I deal with Aunt Wen Su? How would I deal with Xiang Yang? Would I still be a human being?

Even so, I didn't intend to get angry right away. I walked quietly to the coffee table and waited for a response. Hua Yu and An Qin were startled. They looked back at Uncle Hou and felt guilty for not letting go. Uncle Hou was drunk at this moment. He squinted at people and chuckled: "Lao Zhang - didn't I tell you that I'm taking care of my health recently. The two of us are enough. Where did you bring this little beauty back from?..."

Old Zhang, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, wiped his sweat and couldn't utter a word. Hua Yu was young and full of energy, and he wanted to reach out to cover Uncle Hou's mouth. An Xun was better. He smiled dryly, tapped the man's chest and whispered, "Boss Hou, this is our young President Fu..."

"Hmm?" Uncle Hou took a deep breath and took a closer look. After a while, he sneered again, leaned back on the sofa, and patted the two people in his arms: "Then why are you two so tactless? And you, Lao Zhang, my daughter is here, and you are still sitting there waiting for her to spank you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone slipped out. Jiang Chulan scared the two of us in my family, and when he saw my signal, he also took his people out. The door was closed tightly, and no sound from outside could be heard. Uncle Hou took a pill from his pocket and swallowed it, then stretched and cheered himself up, looking at me helplessly.

"My dear aunt, why did you come to this place with such a strong smell of alcohol while you are breastfeeding? If you don't mind the choking, just call me if you have anything to say."

"Would I have been able to see this amazing scene if I hadn't come? Uncle Hou is in good health, and those two guys are only a few years older than me."

Lao Hou scratched his head, chuckled, and pointed to both sides: "So you are here to catch someone cheating? That's a pity, you came too early, we have only just started. You said you, I'm not your biological father, why are you so anxious..."

"I don't care about him because he's my biological father! After all, he is accompanied by Cheng Ling, who is not a decent woman. But you are different! Uncle Hou, I have said it before, our Ke Yi artists do not accompany drinking, let alone sleeping! Your Xiang Yan was just born, and now there are rumors that you and Aunt Wen Su have reconciled. Now you have picked two of the most popular people from my house to play with. If you are photographed, will you say that I am heartless and tried to sow discord between you and your wife? How can I have the face to see Aunt Wen Su and Xiang Yang?" I finished speaking in a hurry, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Old Hou then pursed his lips and waved me over: "It was just a joke, are you angry? I didn't think of that. Shishi, you know that uncle is a man who cherishes women. When I saw the two little girls crying and begging me to give them some money to help them get out of here, I softened my heart. I didn't even know they were from your company."

"You're lying. They're not unknown. Especially An Xun, who had some negative information exposed last month. Her fans pointed fingers at the company and scolded Fu Xu. How could you not know that she's from my family? Do you know Fu Xu now that you're drunk?"

"Fu Xu? She's so pretty, but she just ignores me."

"You..." I was so angry that I almost laughed. "Look at me, am I pretty? Uncle, what am I talking to you about? How can you sum it all up with just one word: pretty? Aren't you afraid that I will tell Aunt Wensu about this?"

"Just tell me, your aunt is used to it anyway——"

I expressed my complete confusion, and put my hands on my hips, "Aren't you afraid of Xiang Yan seeing us?"

"How is that possible? This is a bar, only for adults and children. Your sister is only three years old. Who would dare to bring her here?" Uncle Hou yawned indifferently. "Besides, what if they saw her? Isn't this the case in families like ours? Back then... Xiangyang accepted it slowly. Yanyan endures more outrageous gossip than her father every day. Plus, you know my reputation. I think she will get used to it soon. Just don't make a big deal out of it. Anyway, I, your uncle Hou, have been wise all my life, and my only shortcoming is that I am a playboy."

I pursed my lips: "It's not that a playboy is not picky, what's that?"

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"If you only look at beauty, then they are indeed good-looking..."

"That's right - she is a big star after all. Fu Xu is good-looking and has a first-class eye for choosing people. Don't worry, I will still be careful. Everyone will have a full body check before coming, and there will be no problems." Lao Hou patted my shoulder, and I really couldn't help rolling my eyes.

"I'm talking about ambition. You don't understand these two people. Forget An Xun, that's pure and stupid. Hua Yu is particularly cruel. She has been in the world of fame and fortune for many years. Old Fu said at the beginning that if it weren't for the high penalty for breach of contract, he would have kicked this person out of Ke Yi long ago. There is no day of peace. She suddenly became powerful. You don't know how many connections she can make by herself. The key is that she doesn't care about the consequences and has caused so many troubles. Aren't we the ones who cleaned up the mess for her behind the scenes? You can just play with that kind of person. It's not that you haven't been cheated by these beautiful women. Do you remember the one you married last time? She was seduced and almost lost half of her empire. If you do this again, I will tell Grandpa Hou."

Old Hou then jumped up and said, "No, no, no! Little aunt, there are some things we really can't say carelessly. As an old man, there are some things that he just doesn't want to see or be bothered by. Why bother whispering them into his ears..."

"You're not afraid of Aunt Wen Su, but you care about Grandpa Hou's feelings, right? But doesn't he know that too?"

"Well, it's always okay to save face." Old Hou waved his hand: "You didn't come to me just for this matter, did you? Let's talk about business. You are a mother now, so don't you have to go back to see your children earlier..."

"Yeah, let's get down to business. Does this kitten look familiar to you?" I squinted my eyes and smiled, reaching down and scooping up a fat orange cat. It might have been fattened up by Jiang Chulan at home, so Lao Hou almost didn't recognize it. He got closer and observed it for a while before showing an awkward but polite smile. I swung the cat's leg and hit him lightly: "You are going to scare me to death!"

Old Hou scratched his head and shrugged, "This kind of thing has to be as real as possible, otherwise you won't be able to fool your second uncle, that old bastard. He's very cunning, just like Xiangyang and Lu Zeyun didn't tell you whether the baby was a boy or a girl, so that only you didn't know and no one else would know anything, don't you think?"

"It seems to be the same..."

Old Hou clapped his hands suddenly: "Look! I, your uncle, have always been far-sighted. Believe that I am fine! Do you still have any doubts? I'll tell you everything at once!"
