In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. Xu Wenping took a nap. When he got up and went to Imperial Entertainment Film and Television City, it was already nighttime.

Although it hadn’t been developed for long, other than a prototype, the film studio already had a main building. Today’s banquet was held here.

As the saying went, the bigger the business, the more low-key it was.

It was said that all the people present today were celebrities, but there was only a simple and large round table. There were many more people coming and going in the makeup artist’s office than in the banquet hall.

The big round table could seat at least 20 people. There was a small stage in front of it. Xu Wenping came in today as a member of the band. Of course, although he was holding an instrument in his hand, he did not need to do anything.

They had been seated for a long time, but the dressing room was still dawdling. The first to walk over were five middle-aged men who looked sloppy. Almost all of them had three-inch hair, and their clothes looked simple and unadorned.

“Director Liu, long time no see!”

“It’s been a long time! 1 didn’t expect that you, Second Baldy, would also jump onto the table?”

“Hehe, I was lucky.”

“I heard that you did a good job in the movie ‘Shuo Zi’. I couldn’t stand it after watching the beginning. How dare you bring it out to embarrass yourself!” “Bullsh*t, you’re the only one who’s good at filming!”

As they walked, they laughed and scolded each other. It looked like they were having a lot of fun. One of them, a horse-faced bald man in a red short-sleeved shirt, sat down on the main seat, looking as if he was taking on the responsibility.

The rest of them were listed as well. Then, they started smoking and talked about what movies they had filmed or what albums they had produced.

Everything at the moment should be Xu Wenping’s knowledge blind spot.

The few of them talked for about ten minutes before the leader frowned and said, “Why haven’t those bustards come out after so long?”

“Second Baldy, go and hurry them. Why aren’t they here yet? Are they waiting for the dishes to be served?”

“I’m not rushing them. What the h*ll am I rushing them for? You don’t know any of them at all. Can’t you go yourself if you want to rush them?”

It was also at this moment that a scene that surprised Xu Wenping appeared.

Jiang Yueming seemed to be the leader of the team, and behind him were more than a dozen familiar figures in the entertainment industry. Xu Wenping had seen many of them on the screen.

But what surprised Xu Wenping wasn’t these people, but Jiang Yueming’s attitude.

As the CEO of the Imperial Corporation, he actually bowed. He smiled and bowed respectfully to invite everyone to the venue.

These people walked in a distinct manner. The leader was a middle-aged woman, but she had an afro and looked like a golden lion. She wore a dress that looked like a water snake and was extremely glamorous.

Behind her was an old man wearing a suit vest and a white moustache. He looked a little old.

At Xu Wenping’s age, he had never seen these two old artists before. However, when he heard Jiang Yueming address them as ‘Teacher Zhou’ and ‘Teacher Wang,’ he knew that the man’s surname was Wang, and the woman’s surname was Zhou.

‘You have no balls!’ Xu Wenping scolded in his heart.

Xu Wenping wasn’t interested in the entertainment industry, but his ideology had never acknowledged artists in the industry, so he looked average when he sat backstage.

Although Jiang Yueming should be more cautious since all the big shots were here, his attitude was really not in line with the Imperial Corporation’s name. He did not have any style at all.

As the crowd walked up, Xu Wenping also saw Nangong Yiran. As a popular celebrity, Nangong Yiran was actually only in the back row, not qualified to walk in front at all.

Finally, everyone sat down.

Jiang Yueming, the inviter, was pushed to the end. He had no status at all. Soon after, the dishes were served one by one. There were a few second-tier and third-tier female celebrities who could only serve as wine openers in this event.

Jiang Yueming poured wine for everyone. Then, he raised his glass with a smile and said to the bald man in a red T-shirt in the middle, “Director Liu, let me toast you with this first glass of wine! It’s my, Jiang Yueming’s, fortune to have you here!”

“You’re welcome, Mr. Jiang. 1 still have to thank you for adding such a good location to our art world. If there’s a place for filming in the future, I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Jiang!”

Director Liu, who was sitting at the head of the table, took the lead to drink. Jiang Yueming also drank a cup of wine. After that, they started to spin around. The few ruffians who came at the beginning seemed to be either directors, screenwriters, or producers. They were all easy to talk to.

Everyone drank a glass of wine with Jiang Yueming, then lit up their cigarettes and waited. They also stopped chatting.

When Jiang Yueming toasted Madam Zhou, the plot suddenly changed.

The middle-aged woman picked up the wine cup but did not drink it immediately. Instead, she chuckled and said, “Mr. Jiang, it’s our first time communicating. Why don’t you drink with Director Liu and the others as an apology?”

“Mr. Jiang, you should know how to behave at the table. How could you forget about this? Director Liu and the others have gone through a lot of hardships and took time out of their busy schedules to come over.”

Jiang Yueming was slightly stunned.

He didn’t even say anything, so what did she say?

However, seeing that Director Liu and the others didn’t have any changes in their expressions, Jiang Yueming could only raise his wine glass and say, “Teacher Zhou is right. I’ll first give everyone here a drink of apology.”

Jiang Yueming downed a glass of wine.

The middle-aged woman who was addressed as Teacher Zhou clapped her hands and immediately smiled. “Mr. Jiang is indeed an open-minded person. Since he’s an open-minded person, let’s play more open-minded. What was the point of drinking? Why don’t I make a suggestion?”

“This can also be considered an art gathering. Why don’t we do this? Everyone can perform a short segment. How about whoever drinks? Of course… Director Liu and the others are not performing artists, so they have to be removed.”

Teacher Zhou smiled sinisterly.

Jiang Yueming’s face turned green and then white. The other artistes covered their mouths and laughed. Their faces were full of mockery.

Jiang Yueming looked up at Director Liu, but he didn’t respond.

Then, he turned to look at Teacher Zhou and the other celebrities in the entertainment industry. When he saw everyone’s gazes, the corners of Jiang Yueming’s mouth twitched. He chuckled and said, “Teacher Zhou, I’m sorry. I, Jiang Yueming, am just a businessman. How dare 1 play such a game with you teachers?”

“How about this, why don’t I punish myself by drinking three cups first? Consider it an apology to everyone.”

Jiang Yueming was about to serve the wine.

Teacher Zhou smiled coldly and spilled the wine in her hand on the ground. “Mr. Jiang, if you say so, aren’t you looking down on us too much?”

“If you can’t play the game, then forget about this meal!”
