The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 336: Gone Crazy, What CP is the Mad Dog Randomly Forming?
Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Gone Crazy, What CP is the Mad Dog Randomly Forming?
By five in the afternoon, Jiang Man had arrived at the location Louis had arranged.
The place was named ’Red Maple Court,’ an ancient-style Chinese restaurant.
The restaurant was built like an ancient courtyard, complete with pavilions and a lotus pond.
Because it was winter, the entire courtyard was wrapped in silvery white.
Snow had fallen in the last few days. Although it was light, it hadn’t melted due to the low temperatures.
Especially the snowflakes on the branches, piece by piece, from a distance, one might think they were pear blossoms.
Jiang Man walked along the corridor, very fond of the surrounding scenery.
She knew that Louis, the foreigner, had intentionally catered to her tastes, knowing she liked Chinese-style things, so he had specifically chosen this meeting place.
"Is the person who just went in Jiang Man?"
Outside the Red Maple Court, a man in a black long down jacket got out of his car, his gaze fixed on a fading figure at the entrance.
His assistant hurriedly took out a hot water bag and handed it to him.
"Chengzhou, are you mistaken? What kind of place is this, what qualification does she have to come here?"
The assistant was dismissive, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery.
Xu Chengzhou held the hot water bag, but his heart was chilling.
His career was on the rise, just a step away from becoming a top-tier celebrity.
Yet at this critical moment, Chen Anna had proposed a breakup?
The reason for the breakup was baffling, claiming it was because he had given her a pair of fake earrings.
No matter how he explained, saying he was just starting out and didn’t have enough money to buy authentic ones, so he had bought fakes.
The gift itself wasn’t important, the thought behind it was.
He knew she loved jewelry, which is why he had gone all out, spending a significant sum to have a high-quality imitation made.
Although those earrings weren’t as costly as twenty million, he had still spent over a hundred thousand on high-quality fakes.
What infuriated him was that he had come to know through an attendant of Chen Anna, that Jiang Man had mentioned the earrings were fake, prompting Chen Anna to get them appraised at a center.
So in the end, his breakup with Chen Anna was all thanks to Jiang Man!
He couldn’t survive in the entertainment circle anymore, as directors and producers, knowing he had been dumped by Chen Anna, avoided him like the plague.
He could now only maintain his exposure through other means.
If he couldn’t make it in the showbiz, then he might as well try his luck in the music industry.
He had spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to find out that the president of Universal Records was dining at this Chinese restaurant tonight.
If he could win this president’s favor and be made into an international superstar, wouldn’t he then have his pick of scripts?
Not just scripts, but the women swarming towards him would be numerous, and he could choose as he pleased!
"Is the gift ready?"
He turned back and asked his assistant.
The assistant confirmed repeatedly, lifting the briefcase in his hand, "Right here, Buddha Beads once used by Empress Dowager Cixi, taken by foreigners back then and later bought at a high price by a Chinese. I went through a lot of trouble, coaxing the relatives over there to finally obtain them."
Xu Chengzhou glanced at the briefcase.
Those Buddha Beads, bought by a Chinese for 13.26 million back then, had already skyrocketed in value.
He had spent over eighty million purchasing them.
Compared to pleasing Chen Anna before, this time he was truly bleeding cash.
But he was clear-headed this time; he knew that although eighty million was a lot, if he did nothing, his resources would eventually diminish.
It was better to use this eighty million to build relationships, whereby afterward, money would generate more money.
Previously, relying on his relationship with Chen Anna, he could easily earn twenty to thirty million for variety shows.
If he could curry favor with Louis, he didn’t even dare think about it; his appearance fee could double.
Xu Chengzhou had a clear goal, heading straight for the ’High Mountain Flowing Water’ private room.
Outside the door stood two waitresses in cheongsam, one of whom immediately recognized the visitor.
Why is the big star Xu Chengzhou here?
"I’m looking for Mr. Louis." Xu Chengzhou stood tall, the very picture of a noble young master, his head held high, exuding an air of confidence.
"Sorry, this is a private gathering. Without Mr. Louis’s invitation, you cannot enter," the waiter explained politely and patiently.
Xu Chengzhou was annoyed, "Do you know who I am? I need to discuss important matters with Mr. Louis."
"Of course, Mr. Xu, I am very sorry, but Mr. Louis has instructed that tonight he is entertaining a very important guest, and no outsiders are allowed to disturb."
"Fine, what a loyal watchdog!" Xu Chengzhou exclaimed angrily, pointing his finger at the waiter’s nose.
He gave the waiter a scornful look, and seeing that it didn’t affect him, he reluctantly stepped aside.
He had brought sincerity worth 80 million, there was no way he would just leave.
They won’t let him in, will they?
Then he would wait right at the door!
Xu Chengzhou reached into his pocket, took out his cigarettes and lighter.
Just as he was about to light a cigarette, the waiter next to him came up with a smile, "Sorry, Mr. Xu, smoking is not allowed here."
Xu Chengzhou glanced at her name tag on her chest and chuckled dismissively.
He turned and walked outside, thinking to himself that he definitely needed to show this "watchdog" what he was made of later!
Jiang Man had made a round of the Autumn Foliage Courtyard, entering before Xu Chengzhou, but arriving at the ’High Mountain Flowing Water’ private room later than him.
"Hello."
Upon seeing Jiang Man, the waiter immediately bowed respectfully and made a gesture to open the door.
For tonight’s dinner, Mr. Louis had already shown them the guests’ photos beforehand, so they could easily identify who was a guest and who was an outsider.
"Brother Zhou, look quickly... isn’t that Jiang Man?" The assistant had been watching the entrance of the private room, keeping an eye out for Xu Chengzhou.
Xu Chengzhou dropped his cigarette into a trash can without stubbing it out first.
As he stepped from the corridor into the indoor passageway, he indeed saw Jiang Man standing outside the ’High Mountain Flowing Water’ private room.
Seeing the waiter opening the door, he couldn’t believe it and quickly stepped forward. freewebnøvel.com
"What does this mean? She can go in, but I can’t?"
Jiang Man turned her head suspiciously, and upon recognizing it was Xu Chengzhou, she looked baffled.
Xu Chengzhou was fuming, his voice loud and noisy.
The people inside the room heard the commotion and opened the door.
"What’s all this noise?"
The person who came out was Louis’s assistant, a tall, strong man of Chinese descent.
He first noticed Xu Chengzhou, and his expression darkened.
Then, seeing Jiang Man, he immediately bowed respectfully, "Miss Jiang, you’ve finally arrived. Please come in, everyone is waiting for you."
Jiang Man stepped inside.
The assistant glanced at Xu Chengzhou, "Sir, is this gentleman a friend of yours?"
"I don’t know him," Jiang Man said indifferently.
These three ordinary words, however, sounded completely defensive to Xu Chengzhou.
"You don’t know me? When we were paired up in the variety show, you didn’t have this attitude. What, now that you’re clinging to the big boss and can enter such high-end places, you suddenly don’t recognize people?"
"..." Jiang Man turned her head, looking at him as if he were crazy.
Could it be that Chen Anna had dumped him, and it had affected his brain?
He was snapping at her like a mad dog.
Xu Chengzhou’s loud voice quickly drew out all the big shots from inside.
Leading them was Louis, followed by Barrett, Mrs. Lan Xiang, and two other musicians.
"What’s all this noise about?" Louis asked sternly, glaring at Xu Chengzhou.
