Chapter 300: The Xiang Family Shows Their Cards in Beijing

After Li Chen finished his socializing, he returned to his villa. It was almost eleven o'clock.

Miss Liu made two or three calls.

When Li Chen came back, Miss Liu had already fallen asleep.

After washing up, Li Chen got into bed without waking up Miss Liu who was sleeping soundly.

At dawn the next day, Li Chen quietly lifted the quilt.

He kissed Miss Liu lightly on the forehead.

Miss Liu unconsciously turned over, exposing her pair of long white legs.

He fell asleep again with the quilt between his legs.

Li Chen came back from his morning run, took a shower, and caught a glimpse of the beauty on the bed, which made him feel a little distracted.

He got on the bed and put an arm around Miss Liu's neck.

Miss Liu turned around and knew who it was without opening her eyes.

She squeezed in Li Chen's arms, not wanting to get up yet.

Li Chen reached a hand into her flesh-colored tight vest.

Slowly move upwards until it completely covers her slender bulge.

Although Miss Liu still didn't open her eyes, her breathing was obviously disordered.

"Take your claws away"

Li Chen chuckled: "Sorry, my hands are numb."

Miss Liu bit her lower lip and panted, "It's numb. If it's numb, don't move!"

Li Chen leaned his head closer and stared at her long eyelashes: "It is precisely because of the numbness that you need to move more to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."

As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed Miss Liu's plump lips.

The morning sets the tone for the day, especially since it is the time when the roosters are crowing.

Miss Liu struggled a little, then began to cooperate with Li Chen in a whimpering voice.

After a thrilling fight, both of them were wet.

Miss Liu got out of bed first: "You are not allowed to come in. You can come in after I finish washing."

Li Chen only said two words: "Congratulations!"

Then he shamelessly got into the bathtub with Miss Liu.

The two sat face to face in the bathtub, and Miss Liu wiped the slightly red fingerprints on her neck and chest.

Thinking of the business he had come here for last night, he asked, "What did you and the Godfather talk about that night?"

"You, mom, and godfather all treat me like a child and don't tell me anything!"

"If you don't explain yourself clearly today, don't touch me anymore!"

Although it’s not the first time we’ve shared a bath.

But every time Miss Liu felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the bubbles blocked his body and Li Chen didn't do anything bad.

Li Chen laughed: "What a big threat, I'm just afraid someone can't help it."

Miss Liu blushed and threw the towel she was using to wipe her body at the annoying smiling face opposite her.

Li Chen was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbing it with one hand.

Miss Liu insisted: "Are you going to tell me or not?"

The voice was so soft that Li Chen almost melted.

"Well, if the hard way doesn't work, try the soft way. You are indeed my nemesis. You know I respond to soft tactics and not hard ones."

Li Chen stood up and took two steps to sit next to Miss Liu and hugged her and said, "It's nothing!"

"Your godfather had some problems with his business and asked me for help."

Miss Liu opened her eyes wide: "What's the problem? Is it serious?"

Li Chen thought to himself, how could it not be serious?

Yang Siwei has already found out that his capital chain is broken and he owes the bank a huge amount of loans that he cannot repay.

You may be charged with fraud.

But telling Miss Liu about these things would not help.

Li Chen smiled lightly: "It's not serious. Don't judge by the monk, judge by the Buddha."

"Since he has come to me, I will definitely not stand idly by."

Li Chen recalled the conversation between the two of them after they met last night.

"Xiang Huaqiong is not a good person. If you cross the river and destroy the bridge, you will not get far."

"I just promised him that I would help you to cooperate. I didn't promise him whether it would succeed or not."

"Well, I can lend you the money, but there is one condition. Please consider it."

"What conditions?"

"Shares of Red Star House!"

"You want to buy shares in Red Star House?"

"Yes, Xixi has earned a lot for Red Star House in the past two years. If you haven't paid it back yet, just consider it as the interest on the money I lent you."

Miss Liu felt comforted and leaned gently into Li Chen's arms with a smile.

Li Chen thought that she would know about the shares sooner or later, so he gave her a heads-up in advance.

"By the way, Mr. Chen told me the other day that you've grown up now, and he feels relieved to have me by your side."

"So he wants to transfer all the shares of Red Star House to your name."

"Originally, I opened this Red Star House for you, so I agreed on your behalf."

"Of course, we can't let Mr. Chen suffer a loss. I will give him a discount on his shares at twice the market value."

"You have repaid his care for you." Li Chen spoke eloquently, leaving Liu Yifei confused.

Although I always feel something is wrong, when I think about how much business the Godfather has.

Maybe a sum of money could help him more than shares in Red Star House, so he would have no objection.

In the evening, Xiang Huaqiong held a banquet in Beijing.

The only artist under Li Chen who went there was Tang Yan because of "Bad Genius".

The next day, the Internet was full of news about the Xiang family.

"Hong Kong tycoon Gong Li was groped by three men at a banquet in Beijing."

"Shama Apartments, invested and built by Xiang Huaqiang, the big brother of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, has grandly opened in Beijing."

"Due to Xiang Huaqiong's reputation and status, many big-name celebrities from home and abroad came to show their support and congratulations."

"The scene was star-studded, almost as good as the premiere of The Whistleblower yesterday."

"Including Gong Li, Li Lianjie, Huang Xiaoming, Tang Yan, Ning Jing, Gu Tianle, Simon Yam, Liu Qingyun, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Xiaochun and his girlfriend Ying Caier, Lu Liangwei, etc."

"With so many stars shining, the hotel's opening ceremony turned into a carnival night for the entertainment industry."

"Li Lianjie arrived at the venue early alone and stayed by Xiang Huaqi's side. He was very respectful throughout the meeting."

"There was a donation box marked with One Foundation at the door of the VIP area, but no one at the scene gave Li Lianjie face, and the donation box was still empty after the party ended."

"Xiang Huaqiong drank every glass of wine that night, and his heroic spirit was overwhelming."

It’s very lively online, but the bigwigs in the mainland circle are all dismissive.

Xiang Huaqiong made such a big fuss that it was obvious that he was making an open move to return to the film and television industry.

What he meant was to tell everyone that the Xiang family can still call the shots in the entertainment industry.

But in the eyes of these bigwigs in the mainland, the Xiang family is not good enough.

This can be seen from the fact that none of the big directors such as Zhang Yimou and Li Chen showed up.

As for celebrities, I'm afraid Li Lianjie is the only one who has some weight.

In the eyes of these bigwigs in the mainland, other people are nothing more than artists.

The difference is whether they are big stars or small stars.

Ever since the news of Zhou Jie Lun joining The Voice of China was announced yesterday.

A title sponsor has already approached us.

Li Chen continued his nationwide road show with the crew of "The Sound of Wind".

The box office of "Draw the Bow" finally exceeded 500 million on the 26th!

However, "The Mummy 3", which was released a few days ago, only grossed more than million yuan.

Comparing the two, Li Lianjie really looked a little embarrassed.

"The Mummy 3" was beaten by "The Bow" in China, and no one in China was interested in One Foundation.

He was even ignored by all the stars at Xiang Huaqiong's opening ceremony, and Li Lianjie's reputation plummeted.

China Film Report
"'Dad, Let's Go' set a new record in film history, becoming the first domestic film to earn 500 million yuan at the box office, surpassing the co-production 'The Thieves'."

"Han Sanping, head of China Film Group, one of the producers of the film, said he did not expect that 'Draw the Bow' would break 500 million."

"Currently, the North American box office of 'Draw the Bow' has exceeded 1550 million US dollars in three weeks of release."

"It has become another Chinese-language film to have grossed over 10 million US dollars at the North American box office after Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero, and Kung Fu."

Netizens talked about it with relish.

"The one that broke 400 million was "The Thieves", the one that broke 500 million was "Draw the Bow", and I think the one that will break 600 million will be Leo."

"What did Leo say? I don't care about the box office. Records are meant to be broken."

"He really doesn't care about the box office, because no one can break his record. He's really acting like a big shot even though he's not a big shot!"

The box office of "Draw the Bow" exceeding 500 million yuan is no different from the successful launch of Shenzhou VII in the past two days in the film and television industry.

“That’s 500 million???” Wang Zhonglei was still a little dazed.

At present, there is a huge gap.

Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou and others haven't even broken through 300 million, let alone 500 million.

"Boss Wang, this 500 million is a bit tricky. It's the Olympics, it's a donation, and it coincides with a big event like winning the gold medal and defeating South Korea."

"It can be said that we have caught up with the right time, right place and right people." Xu Li analyzed objectively.

Han Sanping called Li Chen and told him that the box office of "Draw the Bow" had exceeded 500 million yuan and that the bureau was going to hold a meeting to review the situation and he was specifically asked to attend.

After that, there will be a 500 million yuan celebration banquet, and Han Saping also wants to make it a big deal.

Li Chen asked Wu Bin to handle the meeting because he was too lazy to listen to the monks chanting.

As for the celebration banquet, Li Chen and Han Saping decided to hold it after they finished drawing it.

At that time, we will hold a box office donation ceremony, which will be a complete beginning and an end.

The premiere of "The Sound of Wind" ended in Hangzhou.

Li Chen also visited his teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang and the crew of "Chinese Paladin III".

The two masters and apprentices sat down and chatted for a while. Tian Zhuangzhuang said with emotion: "I guess you have heard about the delayed graduation over there."

Li Chen nodded without saying anything.

The more Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at this disciple, the more satisfied he became.

He thought Li Chen would take credit for it, but Li Chen said nothing.

After returning to Beijing, Xue Xiaolu, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, came to visit me.

"Sister Lu, you came to me and let me guess, you probably didn't come to talk about the relationship between brother and sister."

Li Chen laughed, and the assistant served tea to the two of them and didn't bother them any more.

Xue Xiaolu looked around Li Chen's office and nodded: "Nothing has changed."
