Free Web NovelChapter 95: Chapter 95: The Scandals of the Entertainment Industry
After Wu Yun and Wei Feng agreed on a time to go handle the paperwork tomorrow, Wu Yun and Qi Fei saw Wei Feng to the elevator.
According to Wei Feng, he was planning to head to the neighboring Zhen Dan Mansion first to check out the office space.
Once Wei Feng was gone, Qi Fei, who had been silent until then, grabbed Wu Yun’s hand. Her eyes were red as she stared at him and asked, "Xiaoyunzi, why are you so good to me?"
Wu Yun saw the tears about to spill from her eyes and grinned. "Senior! I told you, I’m the one who gets to use the ’unspoken rules’ on you. And *only* me. To make that happen, I guess I’ll just have to let you star in my movies!"
’Maybe a lot of people would say I’m just simping for these women,’ Wu Yun thought. ’But a simp is someone who fawns all over a woman he hasn’t even won over. Now that she’s mine, what’s wrong with treating my own woman a little better?’
’In this world, I have no family to speak of. If I’m not good to my own woman, am I supposed to be good to someone else’s wife?’
’Besides, treating Qi Fei well is also a good investment. It’s killing two birds with one stone.’
As he spoke, Wu Yun reached out to wipe the corner of her eye, but Qi Fei playfully swatted his hand away. She laughed through her tears, "You’re never serious! You’re going to mess up my makeup!"
The moment they were in the car, Qi Fei finally asked the question she couldn’t ask outside. Her face was etched with worry. "Xiaoyunzi, how do you have so much cash flow? Don’t tell me you embezzled the deposits from Little Red Car? I was only joking about that earlier."
"Please, don’t do anything illegal! If you really did embezzle the deposits, I’d rather you didn’t start this company for me. I believe I can succeed on my own through hard work."
Wu Yun started the engine, the sports car’s roar echoing through the underground parking garage.
Instead of driving off, Wu Yun turned towards her. He first caressed her left cheek, then unlocked his phone and pulled up a recent bank transaction. Handing the phone to her, he said, "Senior, take a look. This is my income from stocks and funds. It’s completely legal."
Qi Fei took the phone. She saw the notification from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China detailing his income from stocks and funds, followed by a nine-figure account balance. The knot of worry in her chest finally loosened.
Then, a wave of astonishment and pride washed over Qi Fei. ’Even though I grew up in a wealthy family, I’ve never seen an account balance with this many digits. This is my boyfriend. He’s so much more capable than my own father!’
Today was Sunday, and as they had planned last night, they were going to properly explore Modu after the interview was over.
In reality, Modu didn’t have that many scenic areas or historical landmarks. What it truly offered was a stunning modern cityscape at night and the European-style architecture along the Bund.
And Wu Yun had already seen both of those attractions yesterday from his room at the Peace Restaurant.
As for Modu Disneyland, which would frequently top the trending charts in the future, it was still under construction and wouldn’t open until 2016.
Worried they wouldn’t find a place for lunch, Wu Yun used his black card’s concierge service to book a table at the revolving restaurant in the Oriental Pearl.
He’d heard a lot about the revolving restaurant. Located 267 meters up in the upper sphere of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, it offered a unique experience of dining while overlooking the city.
When making the reservation, Wu Yun had asked Qi Fei if she’d ever been there, only to have her roll her eyes at him. "I didn’t have a boyfriend before, so why would I go to such a romantic place by myself!?"
Wu Yun drove them to the base of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Gazing up at the colossal structure, he felt utterly dwarfed.
He tore his eyes away, a new headache forming. ’I should’ve just left the car parked at the company. Driving over here was just asking for punishment.’
After circling a few times, he finally found a spot. Noticing another driver eyeing the same space, Wu Yun quickly shifted gears, executed a sharp drift, and reversed perfectly into the spot. He then grabbed Qi Fei’s hand and headed for the entrance, leaving a crowd of dumbfounded onlookers in his wake.
From what he’d read online, the revolving restaurant was basically a seafood buffet with average food. Its reputation was built entirely on its prime location and unique ambiance.
They queued for the elevator, and once it was full, it whisked them up 267 meters to the revolving restaurant in the tower’s upper sphere.
Upon entering, the dim lighting and decor immediately created the impression that this was a place made for dates.
After giving his name to the host, they were led to a booth by the window.
Since it was a buffet, they grabbed some food they liked and settled in to chat, watching the skyscrapers that seemed to lay at their feet.
Wu Yun listened as Qi Fei shared amusing stories and gossip from their school days, along with some insider entertainment industry scandals he’d never heard before. Suddenly, the seafood didn’t seem so appealing anymore.
’So many people in the entertainment circle have messy private lives. There were those famous cases that would blow up in the future, and even more that would never see the light of day.’ freёwebnovel.com
’The crimes of people like Wu Qian were just the tip of the iceberg; there were even more jaw-dropping scandals out there.’
Hearing all this gossip only strengthened Wu Yun’s resolve to get involved in the entertainment industry—if for no other reason than to clean up the environment a bit and protect Qi Fei from being corrupted or harmed.
"Xiaoyunzi, don’t worry," Qi Fei said, cupping a cold drink in her hands. She saw him spacing out, a crab leg frozen in his grasp, and immediately knew what he was thinking. "I have you, and I have my dad. Besides, I’d never be like those people!"
Looking at Qi Fei’s smiling face, Wu Yun made a silent vow. ’I have to get stronger, fast. Only when my wealth and influence reach a certain level will I not be at the mercy of others. Of course, that’s assuming I don’t cross any lines. Otherwise, I’ll just be treated like a fatted pig for the slaughter. After all, money is no match for real power.’
"Senior, you just focus on your acting and honing your craft without any worries! As for everything else, leave it to me!"
"Oh! By the way, Senior! Cherish this freedom while it lasts. In the future, we won’t be able to just sit and eat in a public place so openly. We’ll probably end up spending more time apart than together," Wu Yun’s voice grew somber, but then he brightened up. "But it’s fine! When I buy a private jet, I’ll be able to fly straight to you, no matter where you are!"
