Chapter 1072: The Elegance of a Gentleman No. 748

As the leading internet enterprise in the country, Hippo Group has always been the holy land for workers. Its initial public offering once created thousands of billionaires overnight, with salary levels far ahead of others. A movie ticket costing at most a few dozen yuan is, of course, insignificant in comparison.

Jiang Chen is a joke.

Bian Zaide, of course, is also a joke.

"Bian, how about we talk over there?"

Thomas Felton spoke up, very observant indeed. After all, in his mind, the relationship between the heavily-promoted Pei Yunxi and the investor Liang Chen was not to be stated, naturally creating an opportunity for the long-estranged duo to spend time together.

Of course.

That’s just one of the reasons.

Getting Bian Zaide away was also to prevent this "generous" investor from offering any more lavish benefits.

Distributing tens of thousands of movie tickets, the cost aside, at least wouldn’t fall on him to bear, but once the news got out, who knew if it would spawn rumors of "box office rigging."

After all, those shameless media are always waiting for a chance to make fun of him.

This movie he had been planning for a long time, putting in a lot of effort, and it’s also a groundbreaking work against cultural barriers. No mishap could be allowed.

"Adrian, join us, too. Bian has always liked you very much."

Not only did Thomas Felton take Bian Zaide away, but he also shooed away the male lead who had won the Oscar for Best Actor.

"If the movie turns out well, we can continue to collaborate with Director Felton."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help saying, with people being so considerate, he naturally had to reciprocate the kindness.

"What do you mean by ’turns out well’?"

Perhaps because they hadn’t seen each other for so long, she seemed even more radiant than before, of course, that might also be due to her makeup.

"At the very least, it can’t lose money."

Jiang Chen gazed with admiration at the stunningly beautiful face, "I’ve seen your promotional clip in Haojiang, and for me, it was very attractive and shocking. I can’t say my taste is exceptionally high, but at least it should align with the general public’s level. If I think it’s good, most people should feel the same."

"Why didn’t you say something before you came back?"

"Director Felton would surely notify you, why bother doing it again."

It was, of course, impossible to keep the investor in the dark about the press conference in Shenzhou.

"The notification from him, and from you, would that be the same?"

Jiang Chen seemingly joked casually.

Pei Yunxi, who was formally stepping onto the international stage, did not pick up on this, "It seems your friend is hungry."

Jiang Chen looked back and couldn’t help but smile.

The Taoist nun sister was earnestly staring at the exquisite pastries on the surrounding tables, seemingly finding the weighty business leader like Bian Zaide, the great Hollywood director like Thomas Felton, the Oscar-winning actor like Adrian, and even the front-face actress of Shenzhou like Pei Yunxi less appealing than food.

Indeed.

The pure gaze of the Taoist nun sister could probably negate any filter of influence.

In her eyes, everyone should be treated with complete equality.

"She’s the sister of a cousin from the Duanmu family, Tanki Liuli. Isn’t that a lovely name?"

The use of "cousin" served as the perfect embellishment.

Jiang Chen then casually said to the focused Taoist nun sister: "You can eat any of these."

Tanki Liuli showed no embarrassment, withdrew her gaze, and looked towards him.

Jiang Chen nodded.

Taoist Duanmu didn’t care about the public eye and indeed walked away to enjoy the food.

Pei Yunxi felt something unusual inside, thinking that this girl, who had caught her eye, seemed a little...

—Strange.

"That’s how she is. She grew up in a Taoist temple and didn’t have much contact with people. She only came down the mountain not long ago. Don’t mind her."

The ultimate secret of lying is to wrap it with the truth.

"Isn’t she your relative?"

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded, "It’s a bit complicated to explain, I’m not very clear myself, but anyway, not long after she was born, she was entrusted to a Taoist temple, living with ancient scriptures and simple food. Don’t you think she has a kind of special temperament?"

Jiang Chen remained composed, perfectly feigning innocence.

Lan Peizhi also followed his gaze towards Tanki Liuli.

The Taoist nun sister was already starting her impressive feast. Despite her love for food, she ate in a ladylike manner, never gobbling, even the most delicious food was consumed in a pleasant and delightful way.

"Why does she carry the surname Duanmu?"

"It was given by the Taoist master of that temple."

Jiang Chen did not elaborate further, seemingly acting mysterious, in truth because he had no further explanation.

He knew nothing more than this.

Luckily, Pei Yunxi was not a gossipy person; had it not been for Tanki Liuli’s unique temperament, she probably wouldn’t have asked anything more.

This man has always had a puzzling background, having some magical relatives is not something to wonder about.

If Jiang Chen knew her thoughts, he would likely find it both funny and frustrating.

In fact, this is the influence of one’s status.

If an ordinary person claims that house prices will plummet to the level of cabbages, no one would believe it, but what if it comes from the mouth of Bian Zaide?

When you achieve success and fame, your every word and deed are subjectively adorned with gold – it’s human nature and immutable.

"Yun Xi, this time you’ve really made us proud. You have opened a new door for us in the Shenzhou film industry."

A tall man, somewhat stooped, spoke slowly with a slightly hoarse voice.

And it’s true.

The press conference was filled with celebrities.

Jiang Chen knew him, of course, it would be more accurate to say that he recognized the other person.
