Chapter 84: Chapter 83: The Middleman is Set (Extra Chapter for 1,500 Votes)

Qi Hao didn’t tell An Feng about this.

Because there was no point.

Whether his words could influence Wang Chongjun was still uncertain, and to what extent was unknown.

Proactively saying it would feel like seeking credit.

Then that Ms. Liu would find ways to offer compensation, acting as if to draw a clear line, which was very uncomfortable.

Qi Hao didn’t want to deal with them.

He was doing these things for that one million donated to the children’s charity fund.

Those who work for the public good should not be left to perish in the cold wind.

This had always been his style of doing things.

After Qi Hao returned, he communicated the results of this matter with others in the group, and they achieved the goals as expected by everyone.

As for the subsequent outcomes, they were no longer his concern.

In late July, Hu Ge’s "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was broadcast.

How to put it? Their version...

Qi Hao couldn’t follow each episode in the crew but caught a few.

From his personal feeling, Hu Ge’s version was like a Qiong Yao-style idol drama, not even as good as Zhou Xun’s version.

In terms of appearance, the director followed the style of Qiong Yao dramas, making sure the male and female leads were good-looking.

In terms of plot, a clichéd love triangle was forced, turning Ouyang Ke, who played with women in the original, into a devoted lover for Mu Nianci, becoming the third party between Yang Kang and Mu Nianci.

Qi Hao was dumbfounded watching it.

However, it’s said the ratings for this show were okay, and with sympathy points from a car accident, people didn’t harshly criticize it.

Many netizens even said it would have been better if Qi Hao and An Feng had continued to star in this version.

Maybe it could recreate the classic "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

If Gao Yuanyuan could play Princess Huazheng...

But Qi Hao didn’t think much of it.

Character fit is very important, and An Feng probably couldn’t portray that "mischievous" and "charming" vibe.

Qi Hao himself wasn’t foolish.

He just sometimes didn’t like using his brain.

Even Fang Long thought he was a good person, and the movie "Big Soldiers and Little Generals" was being prepared, with a high-profile announcement inviting Qi Hao to play the Little General.

By then, the two would work together despite the age gap.

Unfortunately, Qi Hao couldn’t fit it into his schedule, otherwise collaborating with Brother Long would have been nice.

Qi Hao always felt regret as he had been turned away when he auditioned for "New Police Story."

Especially since the movie’s reception was very good, with Daniel Wu winning Best Supporting Actor.

The internet was also filled with the meme "Ah Zu, stop, it’s all Fang Long outside."

It must be said that it was a regret.

However, Gao Yang had no regrets.

He finally met the celebrity he liked when Li Jiaxin came to the set to shoot her only scene, and the Coal Boss visited the set.

Mining coal and real estate were less important than the goddess.

He liked Li Jiaxin, and his daughter liked An Feng.

Father and daughter both became fans on the set.

Qi Hao actually didn’t want him to come.

He had been shaping a mysterious and powerful image of the Coal Boss for Gao Yang.

How could it be mysterious if you came?

The main issue was that you came to chase stars.

It wasn’t that he was afraid Gao Yang would do something extravagant to please women.

Gao Yang said himself, he just liked her when he was young.

Like how you might have a favorite female star.

Not even a goddess, his goddess was Zhu Lin.

He wasn’t a sycophant either.

Just being able to share a meal and drink together would be satisfying.

Chen Kexin immediately said there was no problem when he heard.

Getting Chen Delin and Ye Weimin to organize a banquet to greet and host the big investor coming to inspect the work on set.

He was able to become a local big shot.

By relying on various connections with investors.

As for Li Jiaxin herself, there was naturally no objection on her side.

Getting to know another friend was another opportunity.

The Coal Boss might be low-class, but billions aren’t low-class.

Marrying into a wealthy family doesn’t mean you can rest easy.

A wealthy family has money, but it doesn’t necessarily give it to you; many actresses marry into wealthy families but still have to work.

So, on a day at the end of July, Li Jiaxin finally arrived on set.

However, before eating, the scenes had to be filmed.

With very few scenes and no real acting needed, it was something that could be accomplished in a few minutes.

In the drama, she played a concubine of Liu Yubai’s father.

Actually very young in age.

Who doesn’t look for a younger mistress?

But Li Jiaxin doesn’t show her age; she still retains her charm.

She’s 38 this year.

She’s basically been out of the spotlight since 2003.

This top beauty of the entertainment circle dated Ni Zhen and was once part of Liu Luoxiong’s vast harem.

Later she dated Mr. Xu and is now preparing for marriage.

After changing clothes and putting on makeup, Li Jiaxin walked to the site and instantly became a highlight.

She truly is a peerless beauty.

Gao Yang stood by Qi Hao, watching his idol filming, with a content smile on his face.

After Li Jiaxin’s shots were finished, he even took a picture with Li Jiaxin, who was still in costume.

For a big capital player, this kind of request must be fulfilled.

It’s just a photo, Li Jiaxin isn’t worried about her future husband misunderstanding.

It’s not like she’s banned from socializing.

If he really cared that much, he probably wouldn’t have chosen her.

The October Fortress crew booked a dining place to treat the entire crew.

On the way to the restaurant, Qi Hao initially thought Gao Yang would shamelessly get into the business vehicle with Li Jiaxin.

Li Ming and Chen Kexin had already gotten on.

But Gao Yang didn’t; he pulled Qi Hao and Gao Fei into another vehicle.

"Dad, she’s not married yet, you still have a chance to make her my stepmom, why not..."

This father-daughter relationship seems to have improved considerably.

Such topics were taboo in the past, but now Gao Fei can jokingly talk about them.

"You little girl, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Gao Yang pretended to be very angry, but he actually enjoyed his daughter’s jokes.

If they talked about similar topics in the past, it often led to indifference and mockery.

"Brother Yang, are you happy today?"

Qi Hao couldn’t really grasp this kind of fan feeling.

"Happy... but not as happy as I imagined," Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, "More than ten years ago, when I saw her on screen, she seemed stunning, but now seeing her in person, that feeling is gone."

Sage time?

Qi Hao didn’t have the nerve to use this term in front of Gao Fei, so he thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because she’s not as young?"

"No, it’s just that the feeling with a real person versus the screen is completely different. Maybe what amazed me back then wasn’t a real person but just an illusion."

Gao Yang felt somewhat rueful.

People tend to subconsciously sculpt a perfect goddess.

Some come out of thin air, some are pinned on their white moonlight.

Of course, it can also be a movie star.

"Tch, you’re just like the legendary Ye Gong," Gao Fei teased her dad.

Once there, Qi Hao, Gao Yang, and Gao Fei headed to the main table in the VIP box.

The crew, trying to please the capital, even arranged for Li Jiaxin to sit next to Gao Yang.

On the other side of Gao Yang sat his daughter, Gao Fei.

Such events are typical mixers.

Capital players wouldn’t bring family to more boisterous affairs.

Gao Yang is bold but not vulgar, a proper social figure.

Facing the likes of Fan Xuexue, An Feng, and Li Jiaxin, he didn’t make a single off-color joke, allowing the tense crowd to finally relax.

Gao Yang quickly struck up friendly conversation with the stars and directors at the main table.

He also enjoys watching movies.

He’s seen many of their movies, like "Cellphone" and "Apple" by Fan Xuexue, and "Swordsman: Invincible East" and "The Deer and the Cauldron: The Dragon Master" by Li Jiaxin.

He’s also watched An Feng’s "Heavenly Dragon Eight Books" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

After all, An Feng is a star his daughter particularly likes.

However, when the big boss said he couldn’t drink, it left everyone confused.

It’s one thing not to talk about women or luxury cars, but not drinking!

Many might think either you drink together or admire the view together; otherwise, there’s always something between you, making it hard to become like-minded buddies.

Chen Kexin and Ye Weimin were ready to risk it all to drink with billions.

"Ah, Qi Hao can vouch for me; it’s really not because I don’t drink!" Gao Yang quickly explained.

"I’ve known him all these years, and he really can’t handle it; he’s down with just one cup."

While vouching, Qi Hao also mentioned he and Gao Yang aren’t just starting out as partners—they have a long-standing relationship.

Don’t bother trying to steal him from me.

I’m definitely going to be the middleman.

"Qi Hao is a wine god; if you want to drink, drink with him. I remember when I met him around 2000, I was shocked by his drinking capacity."

Gao Yang not only didn’t expose it but even played along.

These people play small tricks, but they’re insignificant to him.

He still counts on Qi Hao to train his daughter into a strong woman.

Otherwise, what’s he to do with these billions in the future?
