Inside the City Center Restaurant.

Since Liu Zixuan took over the City Center Restaurant, he hasn’t changed it, preserving the look it had when Wu Mei left.

At this moment in Lanyu Pavilion, two men are smoking cigars, drinking tea, and occasionally emitting disgusting laughter.

The two are none other than Gu Chengkun and Wei Linming, who designed schemes that nearly bankrupted Xiumei Group.

Lately, besides devising plans with Chang Yanchang to drain Xiumei Group, their remaining thoughts have been focused on Mengxuan Media Company. They’re eager to find some beautiful actresses to enjoy themselves.

Though young, they are old hands in the business world, frequently indulging in such matters. In their city, whenever they encounter beauties, they must find ways to acquire them.

This time, they feel no exception will be made, although Mengyu repeatedly refused to meet them. They believe that in this world, there’s nothing that money can’t settle.

In order to enjoy themselves with those beauties for a few more days, they are putting in a lot of effort, trying every possible way.

Initially, they thought Mengyu was impervious, but recently they have been considering targeting some actresses under Mengxuan Media. However, just over ten minutes ago, they received a call from Mengyu inviting them to talk about cooperation at the City Center Restaurant.

Gu Chengkun took a puff from his cigar, sneeringly laughed: "Lin Ming, my little brother, what did I tell you? Even the coldest beauty, even the star impervious to all approaches, is still human. As long as the money is in place, what’s left of modesty, what’s left of purity?"

Wei Linming nodded with a smile: "Brother Kun is certainly an old hand in Jianghu, I am of course inferior. But later on, besides your own enjoyment, don’t forget to help me out."

Gu Chengkun gave a wicked smile, patted Wei Linming on the shoulder, and laughed: "Is it that girl under her company named Yueyue?"

"Exactly that girl, her looks have kept me awake for several nights!" Wei Linming immediately perked up at the mention of Yueyue.

"No problem, as long as I get Mengyu on my side, aren’t her actresses free for us two to play with?" Gu Chengkun laughed proudly: "This trip to Ghost Wood City wasn’t in vain; we’ve encountered so many beautiful actresses!"

"Yes, just imagining those glittering female celebrities on TV screens and in public places lying beneath us, it’s simply delightful." Wei Linming smacked his lips, indulging in infinite fantasies.

"By the way, when I inquired about Mengyu yesterday, I heard she knows that Liu Zixuan!" Gu Chengkun stroked his chin and said.

"Liu Zixuan?"

Wei Linming sneered: "Even if he came personally, what does it matter? Just because he can fool around at Willow Association and be impressive for a couple of days in Ghost Market, does that make him invincible?"

"That kid indeed has some skills." Gu Chengkun flicked his cigarette ash: "Our family’s second young master was crippled by him, and even the Great Elder’s son was killed by him!"

Wei Linming immediately shook his head: "Brother Kun, fights and deaths are unavoidable among Martial Artists, but in the eyes of businessmen like us, martial artists are still just martial artists. Liu Zixuan might have been fierce, but wasn’t it just because he had Willow Association backing him?"

"I recently found out that after returning from Ghost Market, Liu Zixuan had a fallout with the Old Ancestor of Willow Association. Without backing, what can he do? Isn’t his base being messed up by you and me and nearing bankruptcy?"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

At these words, they both burst into laughter, as smug as can be.

"What’s making you two so happy?"

While the two were laughing, the door to Yulan Pavilion’s private room opened, and Liu Zixuan and Mengyu walked in.

Seeing Mengyu, Gu Chengkun’s bee-like eyes squinted immediately into a line, hurriedly coming over with a smile: "Mengyu, the great star, although we are discussing cooperation, we are all acquaintances, why bring your manager along?"

Well, he mistook Liu Zixuan, whom he didn’t recognize, for Mengyu’s manager.

Dream paused, turned naturally, put her bag aside, and sat in the chair with a smile: "Gu Boss, since it’s cooperation, it should be somewhat formal."

"Alright, alright, just as you say!"

Gu Chengkun wasn’t in a hurry. He felt that since Mengyu had actively invited him for a meal, the rest was not far off.

After sitting down, he directly asked the waiter to serve many specialty dishes here.

Once the delicious dishes were served, Gu Chengkun quickly got up to pour wine for Mengyu, then filled up his and Wei Linming’s glasses, clearly bypassing Liu Zixuan, indirectly telling Liu Zixuan that he was not at the same level and not worthy of having wine poured for him!

And Liu Zixuan ignored him.

"Come, I’ll first raise a glass to Mengyu." Gu Chengkun lifted the wine with a smile.

Mengyu pursed her lips slightly, shaking her head: "Gu Boss, why don’t we discuss business first? Then celebrate with drinks?"

"Why rush, we’ll definitely invest in you, let’s talk while eating." Wei Linming followed along.

Mengyu smiled: "No, let’s talk business first; if we talk after drinking, what if you two bosses wake up and don’t want to recognize it?"

"Hahaha!" Gu Chengkun looked at Mengyu meaningfully: "Seeing Mengyu, one knows she is a principled beauty. Okay, let’s discuss business first."

"I’ve heard your Mengxuan Media Company is planning to use a drama to support new actors recently. How about this? For our first cooperation, I’ll be generous, and I’ll cover all the expenses for this drama." Gu Chengkun spoke generously.

"Gu Boss is truly extravagant." Liu Zixuan commented with a smile while picking food.

"Of course, just look at what kind of person my Brother Kun is. Even if it’s for all the dramas Mengyu plans to shoot for the rest of her life, Brother Kun can cover the investment costs!"

Wei Linming, trying to win Gu Chengkun’s favor, praised him earnestly.

Gu Chengkun, pretending to be profound, took a sip of wine: "Let’s keep it low-key, we’re just honestly making investments here."

"Gu Boss is so generous investing in a drama; I wonder if investing in his own funeral would be just as extravagant?" Liu Zixuan put his chopsticks down, smirking slightly, and asked.

"What do you mean?" Gu Chengkun’s expression changed immediately: "If it weren’t for Mengyu, you wouldn’t even be at this table. Speaking like this to me, who do you think you are?"

"My name is Liu, first name Zixuan! Is that enough identity to sit at the table?"
