Chapter 317 315. Have you underestimated yourself?

In the middle of the night, the villa was brightly lit, and the sound of mahjong was heard from the room. Chen Li'an leaned on the back of the chair to set up the tiles, and couldn't help yawning.

It was already past two o'clock in the morning, and Chen Li'an, who hadn't stayed up late for a long time, couldn't keep up with Zhang Guorong's rhythm.

"Throw the dice, it's your turn to be the banker." Zhang Guorong urged from the side.

Chen Li'an hummed, put his hand under the card table and rubbed it together, then grabbed the dice and threw it out. The princess sitting opposite Chen Li'an couldn't help but snorted.

Chen Li'an glanced at the count with an unchanged expression and said, "Two four six."

Zhang Guorong, who was sitting at Chen Li'an's house, pushed the cards forward, and Chen Li'an stretched out his hand to grab the cards and chatted, "No problem with your health recently, right?"

"Ann, I'm in good health." Zhang Guorong said while drawing cards.

Chen Li'an glanced at the energetic Zhang Guorong and asked, "Didn't the Wang family speak ill of you in the newspaper last time?"

Zhang Guorong thought for a while and said: "I didn't say anything directly, but when he won the award in Cannes, he said that luckily he changed actors before filming started."

Chen Li'an couldn't help curling his lips and said, "Last time, I was more merciful."

"Let's not talk about him." Zhang Guorong also knew that Chen Li'an and Wang Jiawei didn't like each other, so he played a card and asked, "When are you going to return to the Mainland? A director asked me to make a movie."

"Mainland director?" Chen Li'an recalled and asked, "Ye Daying?"

Zhang Guorong nodded and said, "Yes, you know him?"

"I've seen it twice at the film festival before, and I'm not very familiar with it." Chen Li'an looked at Zhang Guorong and asked, "Have you picked it up yet?"

"Yes, he is very sincere." Zhang Guorong suddenly smiled and said: "And there is already a script."

"Haha, I thought you didn't dislike the fact that the Wang family didn't have a script." Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing out loud.

The concubine who was sitting opposite didn't interrupt and played cards quietly. She just felt a little sore from holding her legs up all the time. She glanced at Chen Li'an, who was having a good chat, and quietly put her legs back.

Chen Li'an had already listened to the cards at this time, and was just about to enchant the cards before rubbing the cards. He dropped his hand and found nothing. He raised his head and glanced at the princess with a smirk on his lips, so he had to rely on his own luck to draw the cards. .

As a result, naturally he didn't get the card he wanted.

"Sixty thousand." Chen Li'an played a card, and glanced at the princess resentfully.

"Haha, I'm confused!" the princess shouted happily.

Chen Li'an: "." It's fine if you don't touch yourself to increase your luck, but you still have to play your own cards!Excessive!

Chen Li'an has been a bit unlucky recently, I don't know if there are too many people scolding him.

After playing mahjong all night, Chen Li'an lost tens of thousands of yuan, and he didn't even feel good for breakfast in the morning.

Mr. Tang, who got up early, drank his coffee and read the newspaper. Suddenly, he looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Malaysia has given up resistance, and now Singapore has also been hit."

Chen Li'an hummed in a daze and said, "Xiangjiang is the next target."

Mr. Tang was very surprised that Chen Li'an's judgment would be so accurate, and he wanted to ask him where he got so much gossip, what is the relationship between Soros and you!

But Mr. Tang can't sit still now, he doesn't have the big heart of Chen Li'an, and he is very worried about the financial crisis sweeping across Asia.

Immediately, he put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "I'm going to the company first. If there is any news, I will tell you as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, contact me anytime if you need anything."

After Mr. Tang left, Zhang Guorong, who came down from the upstairs after taking a shower, asked, "Did you give me more than 1000 million this time?"

"I'll go bankrupt if I fail, and let Zuxian take care of me in the future." Chen Li'an replied with a smile, and then picked up the newspaper that Mr. Tang had just dropped to read.

Chen Li'an was not interested in finance, so he skipped over to the entertainment section and looked at it. After reading it for a while, he suddenly frowned.

Zhang Guorong looked at Chen Li'an with a serious expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "I saw someone scolding me, but I didn't expect that all these people would reach out to Xiangjiang."

"Because of your performance art in Tokyo?" Zhang Guorong took the newspaper curiously and looked at it for a while and said strangely: "Why are so many people in the mainland scolding you?"

"Because the enemy is inside." Chen Li'an sighed while eating the bread, turned another page of the newspaper and handed it to Zhang Guorong and said, "Look, the Koreans are still praising me, but our own people started to scold me first." .”

Zhang Guorong didn't quite understand why this happened, and after reading the newspaper for a while, he said, "Do you want to go back to the mainland to deal with this matter?"

"Don't worry, just wait and see." Chen Li'an finished eating the bread in his hand and said, "I'll go to sleep first, and when Zu Xian comes over, tell her to go upstairs to find me."

Zhang Guorong glanced at Chen Li'an, and said with disgust: "You guys treat me like a love hotel, why don't you go to Zu Xian's place."

"You didn't pull me to play mahjong!" Chen Li'an snorted and went upstairs to sleep.

As soon as he arrived upstairs, Chen Li'an saw the entrance of the guest room. The princess was leaning on the corridor and wiping her wet hair. When he saw him coming, he hooked his fingers.

Chen Li'an glanced at the time, it would take a while for Zu Xian to come over, the time should come quickly, so he followed the princess into the guest room.

You have to educate the princess!If you don't let yourself draw your own cards, you have to make up for what you didn't draw yesterday!
You were not allowed to touch it yesterday, but you can touch it later!
After a while, there was a rustling sound in the room, like the sound of stockings being torn.

Almost an hour later, Chen Li'an, who tore the princess's stockings, sneaked out and went back to his guest room to sleep before Wang Zuxian came.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Li'an woke up, but he didn't see Wang Zuxian's figure. After washing up, he went to look at the princess's guest room, and found that she had left, so he went downstairs to find Wang Zuxian.

As soon as Chen Li'an went downstairs, he saw Wang Zuxian on the phone.

Seeing Chen Li'an approaching, Wang Zuxian immediately ran over and said, "Li'an, I just received a call that someone went to the art space to make trouble!"

"What's going on?" Chen Li'an asked immediately.

Wang Zuxian asked a few more questions on the phone, and then said to Chen Li'an with a complicated expression: "It's Japanese, they say you destroy Tokyo's environment, disrespect Japan, and say you are a radical war element, anti-human tendencies, etc. of."

Chen Li'an: "." This hat is on!Damn it's the other way around!
"How is the situation now?" Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian and asked.

Wang Zuxian sighed and said: "It's all right now, there are not many of them and they have been driven away, but they frightened many visitors."

Chen Li'an understood it now. He found someone to attack him in Japan, used public opinion to suppress him in the Mainland, and made trouble in his own art space in Xiangjiang. If there were no pushers behind this, Chen Li'an would not believe it.

"Li'an, do you want it? Do you want to close the door for a while?" Wang Zuxian asked worriedly.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "No, it's normal business, let's strengthen security during this time."

Wang Zuxian looked at the irritable Chen Li'an, rubbed his temples and said, "In the past few days, a lot of people came here to visit. After more than a month of return, there are still many compatriots from the mainland to visit. It is estimated that no one will go these days."

Chen Li'an actually didn't really want to understand why he was targeted in this way. Logically speaking, he shouldn't. He didn't blow up the magic toilet.

I didn't understand why I was being targeted until I met Cheng Shufen at night.

"You underestimate your influence too much. Those people will misunderstand your position on your art in Tokyo, and you refused the previous Sino-Japanese cultural and art exchange. They worry that you are not normal."

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Be careful during this time, Japan has been trying to cover up history, it's not surprising that you are being targeted."

"Just keep an eye on it. I didn't plan to do similar works in the future." Chen Li'an thought for a while and said, "But it should be fine after a while, and I'm not at the mercy of others."

Cheng Shufen hummed and said, "Ji Fa also contacted me. During this time, I will help you change public opinion in Xiangjiang's media, but I'm curious about one thing. How did you convince Fuji Sankei? They But right, the mushroom cloud in the Fuji TV building is scary enough."

Chen Li'an smiled and said: "I told them at the time that this was to criticize the fat man and the little boy, and it wasn't a lie. If it wasn't for being too sensitive to time, there wouldn't be so many problems. They didn't react at the time, but they reacted later. When you come here, you will make a fuss."

"You really are..." Cheng Shufen smiled helplessly, looked at him and said, "This matter is currently under control in Xiangjiang, everyone is concerned about the financial crisis, and the serious one is in the Mainland, so you have to be careful."

Chen Li'an nodded and said: "I will find a way in the mainland. I will go back to deal with it in two days. In the next few days, let's see if Mr. Tang needs my help."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tang turned his head to look at Chen Li'an, smiled and did not speak.

Zhang Guorong couldn't help complaining beside him: "What can you help, people who don't even know how to open an account should go back to the mainland as soon as possible to find a way to solve their own problems."

Mr. Tang suddenly looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Do you want to take advantage of the financial crisis to vent your anger in Japan? Didn't you say that the exchange rate of the yen will continue to fall?"

Chen Li'an pointed to his nose and said, "What do you think I can do with this little money? Does an elephant care about a mosquito?"

Mr. Tang smiled and said, "Mosquitoes can also suck a few mouthfuls of blood."

Chen Li'an shrugged and said, "I can do anything, anyway, I don't understand, I don't even know how to open an account."

"Ha ha."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

In the next few days, Chen Li'an really didn't pay attention to the financial crisis. With an expert like Mr. Tang handling it, what kind of fun did he have?

Chen Li'an has not been idle for the past few days, and has to go to work in the art space every day. Now many mainland artists have made a name for themselves here, and Hong Kong local artists are also actively joining in.

All of this was done by Wang Zuxian with the help of Cheng Shufen, and now Wang Zuxian is able to take care of herself.

In the art space, Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian who was chatting with several Xiangjiang artists, and felt that she could graduate from Xiangjiang University now.

Wang Zuxian, who was not far away, seemed to feel Chen Li'an's gaze, turned her head and smiled at him, and then said to the artists in Xiangjiang: "Before the autumn auction, we will evaluate the support objects for this period. Just wait for my news."

"Then please trouble Miss Wang." Several young artists thanked.

After chatting with them, Wang Zuxian came to Chen Li'an and said, "The autumn auction is still half a month away. Do you want to participate? The support plan this time is much bigger than last year, and I'm not sure."

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Shufen will help you. By the way, the follow-up joint cooperation must be done well, otherwise there will not be so much money to support so many artists."

Speaking of this, Wang Zuxian immediately looked at Chen Li'an excitedly and said: "Now our cooperation with several brands is very good, the products are very popular, and our own brand is now well-known. Guess how much money we made last quarter?" money?"

Chen Li'an thought for a while and guessed, "1000 million?"

Wang Zuxian's excited face froze for a moment, and she patted him angrily and said, "How could there be so many! Are you deliberately making fun of me?"

Chen Li'an smiled and pinched Wang Zuxian's bulging face and said: "I brought a lot of design drafts from mainland artists this time, including accessories and handicrafts. We will try to earn him 1000 million in the next quarter!"

"It's not that easy. We're not targeting luxury." Wang Zuxian lacked confidence, then looked at Chen Li'an with interest and said, "But I do want to get involved in luxury customization recently, what do you think?"

"Yes, but the fashion industry is not so easy to do, you need to have the right to speak." Chen Li'an thought for a while and said: "Let me talk to Ji Fa later, you can try to cooperate with some high-end luxury brands first, and ask her to help connect."

"LV?" Wang Zuxian immediately said excitedly. She knew that the supporter behind Chen Li'an was the owner of LV. When the art space opened last time, she came here to support it.

Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian, who was like a little money fan, and couldn't help scratching her nose and said, "You like making money so much, why do you want to quit the circle?"

Wang Zuxian raised her face and said, "It's only a few dollars for filming, it's not as good as I can earn more by speculating in real estate."

Wang Zuxian, a little rich woman, is a bit like Chen Meiren, but Wang Zuxian belongs to the Buddhist family.

But when Zuxian Wang mentioned luxury, Chen Lian was still a little interested, but not for making money, but for fashion magazines.

There are still no fashion magazines in the mainland. I can find someone to start a magazine. In this way, I will have my own mouthpiece in the future.

If you are still scolded in the future, you can fight back.
