I Signed-In For A Billion Dollar Mansion From The Very Beginning

Chapter 69 Unspoken Rules

Lin Fan didn’t care that CEO Qian didn’t invite him.

Xia Wanqiu sent a message on WeChat.

[Xia Wanqiu: “~~~”]

Lin Fan: “I’m going to pick you up tonight. Be careful.”

(Xia Wanqiu: “Don’t worry, I’ll be with Xiaoyu. There are so many people in the company. There won’t be any danger.”]

Lin Fan: “Mmm, that’s good.”

(Xia Wanqiu: “If the investor doesn’t let you act as the male lead, I won’t act as the female lead either.”]

[Xia Wanqiu: “You’re my personal chef. I want to protect you. If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll let the dog bite him!”]

(Xia Wanqiu: “I’m off, I’m getting in the car.”]

Looking at Xia Wanqiu’s WeChat message, Lin Fan felt warmth in his heart.

He was not famous or popular, but he became the male protagonist of the drama.

The investors might not be satisfied, but Xia Wanqiu wanted to advance and retreat with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had never seen such a cute and pretty girl before.

Lin Fan could have been a God-level nouveau riche quietly but he chose to enter the entertainment industry.

Because Lin Fan knew that Xia Wanqiu’s dream was to be a good actor and produce good works.

W

No matter how much trouble she would face in the entertainment industry, Lin Fan would help Xia Wanqiu go further and further on the things she liked.

She liked to film dramas and movies, so he would accompany her and perform wonderful works.

At night, in a large restaurant.

Xia Wanqiu, Su Xiaoyu, Xu Yang, Lin Jingjing, Lu Benkai, Liu Mou, and the other staff went to the investor’s cocktail party.

On the surface, the gala was to celebrate the filming of this television drama, but no one knew what the big boss was thinking.

The big boss of the investor this time was the boss of Qianling Economic Media, Qian Hongguang, CEO Qian. “Good evening.” CEO Qian smiled and sat down. He was slightly fat and had a fat beer belly. He looked to be in his fifties and didn’t look very kind.

“Hello, CEO Qian,” Xu Yang said politely.

“Hello, CEO Qian.” Xia Wanqiu, Su Xiaoyu, and Lin Jingjing were also very polite.

This was a public place, and in front of them was the big boss of the investor. No artiste was willing to offend the boss of the investor.

There were already unspoken rules in the entertainment industry. If anyone dared to offend the investor’s boss, it would be very tragic.

Some female artistes in the entertainment industry could only be forced to stand with big bosses and take photos with them. Sometimes, they would even be hugged by big bosses and could only swallow their anger.

Seeing the beautiful Xia Wanqiu, Su Xiaoyu, and Lin Jingjing, CEO Qian smiled. They were indeed pretty. How could Xia Wanqiu be so beautiful? She was much prettier than other female celebrities and was very pure. Most importantly, she had never kissed anyone before.

“Come, let’s have a drink first to celebrate the filming of this television drama.” CEO Li picked up a glass of wine and smiled at everyone.

Xu Yang picked up a glass of wine and downed

it.

Liu Mou and Lu Benkai also drank a glass of wine.

As for Xia Wanqiu, Su Xiaoyu, and Lin Jingjing, they did not drink.

Seeing that the three girls were not drinking, CEO Qian’s smile gradually disappeared. “Come, come, come. Give CEO Qian face. A sip is fine,” the big man in black beside CEO Qian said. Although he seemed to be very polite to the three girls, he had a forced nature.

“Is it ok if I just have a sip?” Su Xiaoyu stepped out first and looked at CEO Qian.

She still didn’t know CEO Qian’s attitude, nor did she know why CEO Qian didn’t invite Lin Fan to this gala. It was fine to drink a mouthful of wine at the opening of the event as a way to give the investor face.

However, it would be too much if he continued to force them to drink.

They came here mainly to see what CEO Qian was up to.

Su Xiaoyu was very cute at home and played around everywhere. Outside, Su Xiaoyu would protect Xia Wanqiu and Lin Jingjing. Even a dog would bite when it was anxious.

“Sure.” CEO Qian spoke.

Other than the small episode at the opening of the event, nothing else happened.

CEO Qian didn’t talk about Lin Fan. He just chatted with everyone. It was just that during the entire gala, CEO Qian would look at Xia Wanqiu from time to time.

This made Xia Wanqiu feel a little uncomfortable.

“I’m going to the washroom,” Xia Wanqiu said and stood up.

“Sister Wanqiu, I’ll accompany you.” Su Xiaoyu stood up sensibly. When Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu returned from the washroom and walked to the corridor,

A man in a black suit, the man in black beside CEO Qian just now, stood in front of Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu.

“Miss Xia Wanqiu, CEO Qian wants me to tell you something privately. May I ask if Miss Su Xiaoyu can leave first?” the man in black asked.

“Alright, then you two can chat first.” Su Xiaoyu blinked, but she secretly turned on the recording pen she had prepared in her hand and placed it in Xia Wanqiu’s pocket.

This was a five-star hotel, and the security was very good. No one dared to do anything to her in broad daylight.

After Su Xiaoyu left, the man in black looked at Xia Wanqiu and said, “Miss Xia Wanqiu, our CEO Qian is very interested in your acting skills and wants to see the moon with you tonight and discuss about acting. Is that okay? Otherwise, CEO Qian might feel that your acting skills aren’t good enough and might be a little dissatisfied.”

The man in black was very tactful. Xia Wanqiu immediately understood.

This was a common unspoken rule in the entertainment industry.

The biggest investor of the script this time, CEO Qian, wanted to sleep with her. And the meaning of the threat was very obvious.

If she refused, CEO Qian would deliberately say that her acting skills were not good enough and take the opportunity to replace the female lead in Joy of Life.

Even Yuehua Entertainment would not easily offend investors who could produce 200 million yuan in cash.

Hence, in the entertainment industry, many celebrities would swallow their anger and be forced to compromise.

They could only choose between their future and their innocence.

Xia Wanqiu replied decisively, “No.”

After saying that, Xia Wanqiu went to hold Su Xiaoyu’s hand.

Xia Wanqiu understood everything. This new investor, CEO Qian, was not targeting Lin Fan but her.

She also knew that if she rejected him, she would probably not be able to be the female lead of this drama.

But so what?

Her first kiss, her first time… they should all be for the person she loved the most.

If she was willing to compromise, she wouldn’t have stopped filming for a year.

She had her own principles. She could not compromise with anyone! Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu walked along the corridor, her eyes turning red.

This was the script that Lin Fan had painstakingly written for her.

She cherished it.

She just wanted to be Lin Fan’s female lead.

However, why did the heavens want to snatch away this opportunity? This was not what she wanted…

Su Xiaoyu held Xia Wanqiu’s arm and was very angry. She stomped her feet. The cucumber that she had just stolen was also broken by her.

Su Xiaoyu picked up her phone and sent Lin Fan a message.

Su Xiaoyu: “Master, Master, Qian Hongguang bullied Sister Wanqiu and wanted to sleep with her. I even secretly recorded it. I have evidence.”

After seeing the news, Lin Fan’s eyes turned cold.

He threw his phone into the car, swung the door shut, and stepped on the accelerator. The engine of the Bugatti La Voiture Noire roared to life as he drove it straight out the front door of Blue Wave Bay.

Screw Qian Hongguang.

He wrote the script and was willing to be the male lead. He did not want to be a salted fish anymore because he wanted to protect Xia Wanqiu’s development in the entertainment industry.

Lin Fan wasn’t afraid of anything. He wasn’t afraid of any investors targeting him.

But if anyone wanted to target Xia Wanqiu… then don’t blame him for not being polite!

When Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu returned to the gala, CEO Qian’s attitude changed slightly.

CEO Qian did not expect that a female artiste would dare to reject his request.

This way, he could find a random reason to replace Xia Wanqiu as the female lead.

This was Qian Hongguang’s true intention.

“Come, everyone, have another drink. This wine is a good wine that I bought. Everyone has to drink it tonight. If you don’t drink it, you’re not giving me face.” CEO Qian raised his glass as if nothing had happened.

Xu Yang had no choice but to drink a glass of wine.

Lu Benkai and Liu liked to drink wine, and they were used to such gatherings. They also started to drink.

Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu were indifferent.

“Come, Wanqiu, drink.” CEO Qian raised his cup and looked at Xia Wanqiu.

“I can’t drink.” Xia Wanqiu refused.

“That won’t do. You have to drink. Are you looking down on me?” CEO Qian smiled coldly and picked up the wine glass. The burly man in black who was looking for Xia Wanqiu also said, “If CEO Qian wants you to drink, drink.”

Xu Yang stood up and took the glass. “Wanqiu really can’t drink. CEO Qian, why don’t I drink for her?”

“Didn’t you understand? What I want to say is to let Xia Wanqiu drink this glass of wine.”

“Are you drinking or not?” CEO Qian held the wine glass and stood up. He looked at Xia Wanqiu, his attitude was no longer as friendly as before.

The other investors also looked at Xia Wanqiu coldly.

“Sister Wanqiu said that she can’t drink.” Su Xiaoyu held Xia Wanqiu’s hand tightly. “Damn it… I’ll want you to drink. Don’t you understand?” CEO Qian sneered. “Or do you not want to be the female lead in Joy of Life?”

“CEO Qian…” Xu Yang had just opened his mouth to speak.

“Shut up.” CEO Qian looked at Xu Yang coldly. Xu Yang was stunned and did not dare to speak anymore.

Offending CEO Qian today was equivalent to offending many investors. The bosses of various big investors knew each other. Once they offended one, their future career would be affected.

Just then…

One person walked into the banquet hall alone.

When he appeared, everyone’s attention was on him.

His arrival gave her a sense of security. When Xia Wanqiu saw him, she strongly suppressed the urge to cry. Lin Fan was here!
