Return to the City: The Strongest King-Chapter 1914 - 1815: Abusive Love_4

"Oh, really, I see." Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling exchanged glances, and their impression of Qin Huai immediately plummeted.

"He and his agent even arranged to meet actresses from our company, and Song Xiaodong and I caught them in the act." Xiao Yingying continued.

"Later, it got even worse. Just to prevent our company's actress from playing the female lead, Qin Huai ate garlic while filming a kissing scene. It was disgusting beyond words. Because of this, Brother Xiaodong asked the director to replace the male lead. When the director refused, Brother Xiaodong got into a fight with the director, and then ended up being taken away by Deputy Director Qiao."

"Is that so...?"

"This guy really can't be judged by his appearance. He looks decent but is actually so disgusting." Chu Xianling said with a frown.

"I even took a photo with him! I need to delete it immediately." Sun Yiyi took out her phone to find the photo with Qin Huai.

"I have one too..." Chu Xianling said.

"His agent is even more disgusting. She uses all sorts of low tactics to get roles. She's almost like the madam of the director circle." Xiao Yingying recalled Zhu Wenhua, feeling a bit angry again.

"So, what are we doing here today?" Sun Yiyi asked.

"Last time, Brother Xiaodong brought me here and had the fire department check for fire safety issues in the building, which resulted in Dacheng Film and Television City being ordered to shut down for three months." Xiao Yingying replied.

"Big baddies can really be bad, huh?" Sun Yiyi said with a smile, looking at Song Xiaodong.

"Even if I'm bad, I'm better than those brokers who specialize in shady deals." Song Xiaodong thought about it, and concluded he was much better than Zhu Wenhua.

"But Brother Xiaodong, didn't you say it needed to shut down for three months? Why did you bring us here today?" Xiao Yingying asked, confused.

"Just wait and see!"

In no time, the group arrived at Dacheng Film and Television City.

Dacheng Film and Television City was still operating, with staff entering and leaving.

"Brother Xiaodong, why have they reopened?" Xiao Yingying asked.

"I told them to reopen." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Oh... Playing cat and mouse, I get it." Xiao Yingying said with a smile, looking at the large outdoor screen of Dacheng Film and Television City being lit up again.

"Let's go, let's take a tour."

Song Xiaodong led Xiao Yingying, Sun Yiyi, and Chu Xianling out of the car and walked to the entrance of Dacheng Film and Television City.

At the entrance, there were two security guards in black suits and sunglasses. From a distance, they saw Song Xiaodong coming over with three beautiful women. As soon as Song Xiaodong appeared, one of the guards immediately used a walkie-talkie to inform Zhu Wenhua.

Seeing this, Song Xiaodong led the three beauties directly through the glass revolving door without being stopped by the guards.

Inside, the staff were busy and chaotic due to days without work, and the fire inspection had disrupted the office layout, leaving everything in a mess.

"Wow, is this a film company? Looks like they're about to flee." Sun Yiyi raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully.

"It's normal to be a bit chaotic since they closed for so many days, and today is the first day they reopened." Song Xiaodong explained to Sun Yiyi.

"There aren't any celebrities!" Chu Xianling observed.

"They're all small-time actors, not very famous. Even big-name actors wouldn't come to work this early." Xiao Yingying said.

"You made them close down, then reopened them, what are you up to?"

As the group looked around, Zhu Wenhua and Qin Huai arrived with some burly thugs, appearing aggressive.

"Oh wow, such hostility." Sun Yiyi said, glancing at the arrivals and pursing her lips.

"Song Xiaodong, what scheme are you pulling now?" Zhu Wenhua shouted, spitting as he yelled in Song Xiaodong's face.

Song Xiaodong turned his head away in disgust.

"Oh wow, Mr. Qin, we meet again!" Sun Yiyi said, reaching her hand out to Qin Huai.

"Oh, yes, what a coincidence, hello." Qin Huai replied awkwardly, but extended his hand.

"What are you doing!" Chu Xianling slapped Sun Yiyi's hand away.

"You're shaking hands with anyone!" Chu Xianling glared at Sun Yiyi.

Their double act was seamless. Qin Huai's hand hung there awkwardly for a while before lowering it.

"Mr. Song, I went back and did some research. Turns out Mr. Song is a giant at Minghe. But this is a society ruled by law now, I'm a legitimate businessman, you can't touch me."

Harmony in society saved you.

"Mr. Song thought checking fire safety would stop me from opening? Look what happened? I'm open for business today." Zhu Wenhua arrogantly gestured for Song Xiaodong to see the busy staff in the office area.

"Is it just you, Mr. Song, who has connections at Minghe? I've built my business up to today not just by using clever tricks."

Clearly, Zhu Wenhua hadn't been idle after being shut down; he must have been busy making arrangements. Song Xiaodong had communicated with Deputy Director Zhang in the morning, and Zhang understood Song Xiaodong's intentions—to put on a complete show and pretend Zhu Wenhua's bribes worked—and told Zhu Wenhua he could reopen.

"Oh, one more thing, I just managed to get Qin Huai the lead role in Director Li Changshuo's new film. Director Zhang, that spineless old thing, is outdated. Li Changshuo is the future of the directing circle." Zhu Wenhua said proudly, looking at Qin Huai.

"Yes, Mr. Song, it's just a lead role in a movie. I'll give it to your company's artist. I'm curious to see which of your mediocre bunch can make it big." Qin Huai mocked Song Xiaodong.

"Looks like Xiaodong and Yingying were right. These two really are arrogant." Chu Xianling said to Sun Yiyi.
