Chapter 565: His Majesty is Protective, Qingqing Summoning Snow, Face Hurts (1)
His tone was neither high nor low, yet carried an inherent authority.
Sang Yanqing paused, then quickly spoke up, “It’s an old issue. Gu Zhinan, a Best TV Actress, once competed with Qingqing for a female lead but lost simply because she was outmatched. But the LI family?”
What was going on with the LI family?
Gu Zhinan had risen to fame during a time when she was not active in the entertainment industry.
Sang Yanqing immediately turned to the producer for clarification.
“Sister Sang might not be aware, but it’s a bit complicated to explain, though it’s common knowledge,” the producer sighed. “Third Master LI of the LI family is Gu Zhinan’s sugardady. In fact, her Best TV Actress award that year was mired in controversy.”
During the Golden Flower Awards, Gu Zhinan and Cheng Yiqiao were in competition.
Cheng Yiqiao played a character suffering from dissociative identity disorder.
In terms of both plot and character design, Cheng Yiqiao was far superior to Gu Zhinan.
Yet, Gu Zhinan ended up winning the Best TV Actress award.
Cheng Yiqiao, known for her straightforwardness, publicly declared she would no longer participate in the Golden Flower Awards.
Naturally, this angered the judges of the Golden Flower Awards.
For the past three years, Cheng Yiqiao hadn’t received any noteworthy scripts.
Fortunately, her acting skills were solid, and even web dramas couldn’t bury her talent.
She just lacked a major production team that could win awards.
“Sugardaddy?” Sang Yanqing was surprised. “I really couldn’t tell.”
Tang Haiqiu, however, stared intently at Yu Xiheng, his gaze burning, “And this gentleman is?”
The Yu family, being the foremost wealthy family in the City of Sijiu, including Yu Yao, had all been featured in financial magazines.
Many charity organizations’ homepages also showcased the Yu family members.
However, Yu Xiheng had always stayed out of the public eye.
No one knew that the RM Charity Foundation, which he founded, supported many school dropouts and elderly people living alone. Yu Xiheng’s demeanor softened as he smiled and nodded, “My surname is Yu.”
The weight of this surname was indeed significant.
The producer looked at Si Fuqing in surprise.
There had always been rumors about Si Fuqing having a wealthy backer.
And paparazzi claimed Si Fuqing was impossible to photograph, let alone capture images of her mysterious sponsor.
But seeing Mr. Yu’s distinguished and refined demeanor, with not a hint of impurity in his gaze, the producer was convinced there couldn’t be any transaction between them beyond financial support.
Tang Haiqiu nodded, “Mr. Yu, would you be interested in joining the entertainment industry?”
“Director Tang,” Si Fuqing spoke calmly. “He’s my boss. If you take my boss to act. who will nav my salary? Taking me alone is enough.’
“Because of you, finding actors has become difficult, ” Tang Haiqiu snorted. “You don’t know, MO Yishan just told me he’s afraid to act opposite you, fearing you’d tear him apart.”
Si Fuqing immediately became subdued, lowering her head, “I can be very cute and obedient too.”
Sang Yanqing:
That made it even more terrifying.
“Then you and your boss can talk,” Tang Haiqiu was just asking. “I’ll look for another escort agency. We’ve made good progress upfront; we can slow down the shooting later.”
“No need,” Yu Xiheng’s tone was cool. “Tomorrow, as you start your journey, the escorts from the Great Xia Escort Agency will be there. Rest assured and focus on your filming.”
Feng San nodded in understanding, ‘Yes, I’ll contact the Ace Agency right away.”
Tang Haiqiu stopped dead in his tracks.
He suddenly remembered one of the frequently discussed gossips in Sijiu City.
The ninth son of the Yu family was partially paralyzed, unable to walk.
Yet, with his stunning looks, many high-profile women wished to marry him despite his disability.
Tang Haiqiu tentatively asked, “Mr. Yu, are you the ninth in your family?”
Yu Xiheng’s eyebrows moved slightly, “Pleased to meet you.”
His brevity and the air of superiority that came naturally to him were qualities not even a century-old wealthy family like the Yu could cultivate.
For the first time, Tang Haiqiu stammered, “So, so, now we…”
“Continue filming,” Si Fuqing glanced at the sky. “I’ve said it would snow, Director Tang, please call Teacher Mo.”
Tang Haiqiu, still in a daze, headed to the rest area.
Yu Xiheng tilted his head, “Being mischievous again?”
“Not at all,” Si Fuqing replied with composure. “I’m just helping the director out of a bind. But hiring bodyguards from the Ace Agency must be costly, right?”
The Ace Agency’s bodyguards were known for taking on missions to the deep sea and the heart of deserts.
Although their desert scene was on the edge and not as dangerous, she had once entered the Ace Agency, knowing that hiring a mission started at a minimum of a million.
She had already prepared to hack into Zero or T18 directly, getting people without spending a dime..
