Collection of Gods

Chapter 872 Invitation Letter
Half an hour later, Zhao Rui, the director of the "The Long Ballad" crew, who had just finished filming, learned that Xu Zhengan, the chairman of Hengdian Group, had arrived and had been sitting next to him waiting for more than half an hour.

After Zhao Rui learned the news, he didn't even bother to check the sample film he had just shot, and hurried over to Xu Zhengan.

"Boss Xu, I'm Zhao Rui, the director of The Long Ballad. It's an honor to meet you."

Zhao Rui stretched out his hands towards Xu Zhengan, and at the same time looked at Wang Zixuan and complained a little: "Old Wang, you are really something. Why didn't you tell me that President Xu was coming? How could we let President Xu wait for us?"

Wang Zixuan heard this and knew that Zhao Rui was trying to find a way out for him. But before he could explain, Xu Zhengan took the lead and explained, "Director Zhao, this is not Wang's fault. I told him not to disturb your normal filming. I know it's not easy to shoot martial arts scenes. It's rare that Miss Su Chuchu is in such good condition. It would be a pity to interrupt her."

When Zhao Rui heard Xu Zhengan say this, he knew that the reason Xu Zhengan had the patience to wait for him to finish filming was entirely because the protagonist of this scene was Su Chuchu, otherwise the other party would never have waited for him here for such a long time.

However, even though he knew it, Zhao Rui would naturally not bring up such things in public. He immediately followed Xu Zhengan's words and gave Xu Zhengan a series of flattering moves.

While they were talking, Su Chuchu, who had just walked down from the set, was politely invited over by the assistant director.

If the smile Xu Zhengan just gave to Zhao Rui and others was a polite smile, then the smile Xu Zhengan gave to Su Chuchu at this moment was a smile from the heart. Even a blind person could see the difference between them.

"Hello, Miss Su."

When Xu Zhengan saw Su Chuchu, he immediately stepped forward and greeted her, "I am Xu Zhengan from Hengdian Group. Miss Su is indeed as beautiful as the rumors say. She is truly worthy of her reputation."

On the way here just now, the assistant director had already informed Su Chuchu of Xu Zhengan's identity. Su Chuchu still respected this capital tycoon in the film and entertainment industry very much. She immediately responded with a smile: "Boss Xu, you are too kind. My little achievement is not worth mentioning compared to you, Boss Xu."

"Miss Su, we are all old now. The future will eventually belong to you young people. I believe that when you reach my age, your achievements will far exceed mine."

Xu Zhengan laughed twice. Seeing that Su Chuchu did not take advantage of her favor, his evaluation of this girl couldn't help but rise a little.

It was the first time the two met, and with Xu Zhengan taking the initiative to lower his attitude, the two quickly started chatting. During this time, Zhao Rui and Wang Zixuan, the two nominal controllers of the crew, could only stand by and smile, unable to say anything.

The reason is simple: the two sides are not equal in class.

After Xu Zhengan and Su Chuchu exchanged pleasantries for a while, he suddenly glanced at Zhao Rui and Wang Zixuan, then said with a smile: "Director Zhao, Producer Wang, you should just do what you need to do. Don't delay the normal filming progress of your crew just because I'm here."

Zhao Rui and Wang Zixuan have been in the entertainment industry for many years and are both some of the smartest people around. Now when they heard Xu Zhengan say this, they immediately knew what Xu Zhengan meant.

"Today's shooting schedule is indeed quite full. Since you, Director Xu, have said so, I won't be polite with you. I will continue to be busy on this side."

Zhao Rui behaved very tactfully, and Wang Zixuan followed suit with a few words.

In response, Xu Zhengan just smiled and nodded.

After Zhao Rui and Wang Zixuan left, Xu Zhengan looked at Su Chuchu again and said, "Miss Su, I actually came here to ask for a favor."

"Mr. Xu, you are my senior, please feel free to ask me if you have anything to say."

Su Chuchu's expression did not fluctuate, because she knew very well that people of Xu Zhengan's status would never come to see him for no reason. "Miss Su, I have heard about Mr. Tang Yuan for the past two years, but I have never found a suitable opportunity to meet him. I heard that on the 29th of this month, the charity foundation under the name of Mr. Tang Yuan's club will be officially established, and a charity dinner will be held in the evening. So I came here this time just to be thick-skinned and see if I can ask Miss Su for an invitation."

Xu Zhengan did not beat around the bush and stated his demands directly and truthfully.

After Su Chuchu heard what Xu Zhengan said, she hesitated for a moment, then responded to Xu Zhengan: "Mr. Xu, I can help you mention this to Tang Yuan, but I can't guarantee that he will agree."

In recent days, due to the issue of places for the charity dinner, many people have approached Su Chuchu, wanting to see if they can get tickets to the charity dinner through roundabout tactics. The identities of these people are, at the very least, at the level of movie emperors and actresses, or the top-tier actors and actresses in the domestic entertainment industry.

Su Chuchu's answers to these requests were rather vague, except for Xu Zhengan today, to whom Su Chuchu gave a relatively affirmative answer, because she knew that with Xu Zhengan's identity, he was still qualified to get an admission ticket, and it would not make Tang Yuan feel embarrassed.

"Miss Su, if you could help mention it, I would be very grateful."

Xu Zhengan smiled gently, and then changed the subject: "Ms. Su, when I came here, I heard from my manager that you have spent nearly half of your time in Hengdian in the past year, right?"

"Yes."

Su Chuchu nodded, feeling inexplicably curious, wondering why Xu Zhengan suddenly brought up this matter.

Hearing this, Xu Zhengan smiled even more brightly: "Miss Su, you know that the entire Hengdian Film and Television City was built and developed by our Hengdian Group, so our Hengdian Group owns a lot of real estate in Hengdian Film and Television City."

As Xu Zhengan was speaking, the general manager of Hengdian Film and Television City, who was standing behind him, immediately understood what he meant and walked forward, holding a bunch of keys in both hands and handed them to Su Chuchu.

"This is our group's garden villa located in the center of Hengdian World Studios. It is very close to various film and television bases and studios. When Miss Su comes to Hengdian to film next time, she can live directly in this garden villa. Our group will always reserve this garden villa for Miss Su."

The first thing Xu Zhengan bought was a garden villa. Although it was not a direct gift to Su Chuchu, he gave Su Chuchu the permanent right of residence, which was actually no different from a direct gift. Such a move was truly magnanimous.

After Su Xiaoxiao understood what Xu Zhengan meant, she quickly took a step back and waved her hand to refuse, "Boss Xu, I'm just helping you to mention this to Tang Yuan. You don't have to do this."

"Miss Su, we just met by chance, and you are willing to help me. This is a favor. If I don't show any appreciation, then when this matter gets out, I, Xu Zhengan, will lose my face." Xu Zhengan said with a serious face: "Miss Su, if you don't accept this gift, then I'm really embarrassed to ask you for help."

"This……"

Su Chuchu looked at Xu Zhengan's serious expression, and she looked a little hesitant.

Seeing this, the general manager beside Xu Zhengan immediately took the initiative to step forward and put the key of the garden villa into Su Chuchu's hand without saying anything. He smiled and said, "Miss Su, our President Xu is a very face-conscious person. Please accept our President Xu's kindness."

After repeated persuasion from Xu Zhengan and the general manager, Su Chuchu finally nodded and took the key. However, she was thinking in her heart that she still had to tell Tang Yuan the whole thing truthfully tonight to see what Tang Yuan meant.

When Xu Zhengan saw Su Chuchu accept the key to the garden villa, he immediately smiled again. He then took the initiative to add Su Chuchu on WeChat, and without wasting Su Chuchu's time, he quickly left the Long Song crew with his subordinates...
