TWEHGC Chapter 3

Just as Wang Lin’s expression was becoming weird and distorted, Ning Luo coughed lightly, kept a distance from him, and asked, “Director Wang, why do you suddenly want to introduce resources to me?”

[Offering help for no reason the first step of unspoken rules! Director Wang, please don’t be disrespectful to the elderly! ]

“Of course it’s because…!” Wang Lin was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. He opened his mouth to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that he couldn’t let Ning Luo guess the clues, so he turned a corner and said, “…because you are excellent.”

Ning Luo had a question mark on his head: “…Ah?”

The original owner? Excellent?

[Do you want to listen to what nonsense you are talking about?]

Wang Lin became more and more confident as he spoke, and he closed his eyes and talked nonsense: “I found that you are a rough jade, a buried gem, with great potential after a little polishing. People like me cherish talents and can’t bear to see you waste your talents, so I decided to give you a chance to show yourself.”

Ning Luo was stunned, and the more he listened, the more excited he became.

This is his own fortune tree blooming!

Wang Lin’s eyesight is not good, but he is a good person!

And he will never miss any opportunity to take advantage!

Wang Lin asked, “There will be a director’s dinner in a week; many bigwigs will attend. Will you go?”

“Go!” Ning Luo’s eyes were so firm he could join the party.

[New unlucky suckers have appeared; how can we stand still!]

Ning Luo sang SpongeBob SquarePants in his heart, [I’m ready, I’m ready! ]

Wang Lin: “…”

Damn, the opportunity was clearly provided by him, but why did he want to beat Ning Luo now?

Wang Lin’s every move was always watched by the crew. When they heard that he decided to introduce resources to Ning Luo, everyone had only one idea.

Wang Lin was crazy.

Sun Shaoyi’s assistant also didn’t understand: “What’s wrong with Director Wang? He obviously doesn’t like Ning Luo.”

Not only did he dislike him, Wang Lin also got very angry because of Ning Luo’s joining the crew and called Ning Xibai to ask for an explanation.

As a result, this matter was known by one of the crew’s investors. The other party happened to be a rich second-generation who was pursuing Ning Xibai and invested in the crew only because of Ning Xibai. This whole incident caused a lot of unpleasantness. The agreed investment had been delayed, resulting in a shortage of funds for the crew, and they had to start filming and still solicit sponsorship everywhere.

Sun Shaoyi thought for a moment and said, “Maybe it’s because Ning Luo is not a bad person.” She ignored the assistant’s expression of seeing a ghost.

She thought she would hear Ning Luo’s calculations and slandering others but Ning Luo had no bad intentions except for his bad brain.

Unexpectedly.

Ning Luo didn’t know what she was thinking; he just completed his work diligently and conscientiously and deliberately revealed flaws from time to time to let Wang Lin give some guidance so as not to stand out too much.

Soon it was the weekend, and Wang Lin took him to the hotel where the dinner was held.

According to Wang Lin’s status, he couldn’t actually touch this level of banquet. This time he borrowed the light of his senior brother and dressed himself up.

Although Ning Luo often complains about him being an old man, Wang Lin was only 35 years old, with a small braid tied behind his head and the melancholy and unrestrained temperament of an artist. Many people like this style.

But compared to the moving light object next to him, it is not good enough.

Ning Luo’s appearance is very recognizable even in the entire entertainment industry. He wears a well-tailored white suit, with a light smile and a little dimple. He seems to be very uncomfortable with such crowded occasions and is a little nervous and shy.

But only Wang Lin knows that Ning Luo is almost annoying him to death.

[Beef tongue, sweet shrimp, sea urchin, salmon, grilled bird, eel, baked crab, burrata, and my favorite lamb chops! Ah, that’s Italian handmade ice cream! Pour it all into my mouth; I can eat it! ]

Wang Lin laughed angrily.

What, the crew gave him less food and less drink? Is that all he can think about?

He warned in a low voice, “Don’t forget why I brought you here.”

“I know, you brought me here to let me make friends with Director Sun.” Ning Luo nodded repeatedly, reluctantly moving his eyes away from the more than ten-meter-long buffet table, and blinked at Wang Lin.

“…It’s good that you know.”

Facing his aggrieved look Wang Lin was shaken for a moment, but immediately became as firm as iron.

He felt sorry for Ning Luo, so who would feel sorry for him, a fool who was disrespectful to his elders?

No one!

The vengeful Wang Lin snorted twice and began to take Ning Luo to recognize people.

Someone recognized Ning Luo’s identity; after all, he was a famous beautiful loser. No matter how much they looked down on him in their hearts, they would still be polite to maintain superficial peace.

But there are always exceptions.

Ning Luo drank too much champagne and went to the bathroom. When he came out and turned into the corridor, he bumped into someone and took two steps back: “Hiss, sorry.”

“You don’t look at the road when you walk- Ning Luo?”

The surprised tone quickly turned into contempt. “Oh, who is blind? It’s not surprising if it’s you. Why, is this your new way of throwing yourself into someone’s arms?”

Ning Luo looked up and stared at the red-haired man for a few seconds in thought and suddenly realized.

Oh, this is Cui Xiangyang, the rich second generation who loves Ning Xibai and invested in their crew. He met the original body at the Ning family’s banquet.

It’s really a narrow road for enemies.

“Don’t talk? Did I guess it right?” Cui Xiangyang had no idea that Ning Luo didn’t even remember who he was. He looked Ning Luo up and down, like he was picking out goods, and they were inferior goods at that.

“How can you compare to Xibai? You even want to replace his position in the Ning family. You came to the Ning family to claim your kinship with eager eyes. I’m afraid you are just greedy for the Ning family’s property and want it yourself.” 

“I’ve seen a lot of people like you who are vulgar and materialistic. Who knows if you bribed the hospital to forge that appraisal?”

“Vulgar? Materialistic?”

Ning Luo was surprised, “You actually saw through my nature at a glance.”

He prayed to the God of literature before the college entrance examination, but he was not as pious as wishing to get rich every birthday.

Cui Xiangyang choked, and his face turned black: “Ning Luo, you finally admit that you are a vain villain!”

But on second thought, wouldn’t this kind of person be easier to control? At that time, put the evidence of Ning Luo’s self-degradation in front of Ning Xibai, let him see Ning Luo’s true face, and don’t simply introduce resources to such a scumbag.

He raised his chin: “I heard that you failed to attract investment again? Short of money, right? How about this, take off one piece of clothing, and I will invest one hundred thousand in you.”

Take off one piece of clothing, one hundred thousand!

Ning Luo’s hands hanging by his side trembled slightly.

He is going to fight with these rich people!

Seeing his embarrassed and trembling appearance, Cui Xiangyang felt better: “Have you thought about it? There is a room on the second floor.”

Ning Luo’s eyelashes trembled, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and his thin back was straight, as if he was resisting such a playful mockery with his meager strength.

Suddenly, he raised his eyes and said in a loud voice, “Socks count as two pieces.”

Cui Xiangyang seemed to be temporarily deaf, “What?”

Ning Luo kindly repeated, “Socks count as two. Oh, by the way, I also have two shoes, a tie, two cuffs, a watch, two rings…”

He counted the things on his body carefully, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

He’s going to be rich!

But he didn’t dare to show it too obviously, for fear of scaring away this new sucker, so he had to purse the corners of his mouth that were about to grin to his ears, and his whole body was shaking from holding back his laughter.

Cui Xiangyang understood.

He was actually fooled by Ning Luo! He was instantly furious.

“Damn idiot, who told you this!”

Ning Luo saw that he regretted it and was unhappy: “You can’t afford to lose and don’t want to pay, right?”

Cui Xiangyang’s chest rose and fell, and he couldn’t squeeze out the second word after saying “you fucking” for a long time.

Now he was the one trembling all over due to angry. Of course he didn’t want to give this money. He wasn’t such a fool that he had to pay for the humiliation after being tricked.

He pushed Ning Luo away: “Get out of the way; a good dog doesn’t block the road!” He strode to the bathroom and slammed the door.

Ning Luo: “Hey——”

Just as he made a sound, there was a loud noise from inside.

Ning Luo silently covered his ears and muttered, “I was just about to tell you that the faucet is broken, and there is a puddle of water on the ground that will make you slip…”

“You are so stingy, no wonder you are not even considered a spare tire for Ning Xibai; you can only be a licking dog.”

Cui Xiangyang, who had just stood up, narrowly avoided falling again, staring at the door of the bathroom and gnashing his teeth.

You are a licking dog; your whole family is a licking dog!

– 

With the regret of not making extra money, Ning Luo returned to the hall.

The hall was crowded with people, and he looked around for a long time but didn’t see Wang Lin.

It would be a waste of effort if he couldn’t find him. Their target, Director Sun, hadn’t appeared yet, so it would be better to do something more meaningful.

Ning Luo’s bright eyes fell on the dessert table that he had coveted for a long time. He walked over with reserve, picked up the tongs, and quickly and accurately arranged the small cakes he had been craving for a long time on the plate.

He was concentrating on choosing the food and didn’t realize the commotion behind him until the sound got closer and closer to him.

At first glance, I saw the man walking slowly surrounded by the crowd. He
was wearing an expensive custom-made suit, and the accessories, from the brooch and cufflinks to the tie clip, were all exquisite and perfect. The shirt buttons were buttoned meticulously to the bottom of his Adam’s apple, and they rolled gently when he was chatting with others, showing a bit of lust for no reason.

The bright light from the crystal lamp above his head poured down, blending the man’s facial features into the silhouette of varying depths. When he got closer, he found that he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the lenses cut out thin and sharp reflections.

But that coldness soon disappeared under the faint smile at the corners of his mouth.

Ning Luo covered his chest all of a sudden.

His heart beat out the impassioned symphony of fate.

[Fuck, husband!]

This is too much in line with his aesthetics! Precise sniping!

If there is anything that Ning Luo can’t refuse, the gentleman scum and the glasses killer must be at the top of the list.

And now it is still 1+1>2, and it grows on such a perfect face.

Lu Tingzhou paused for a moment when talking to someone else and looked up at the whole place.

His eyes stayed on Ning Luo for a few seconds longer.

It was because Ning Luo’s appearance was too outstanding and very conspicuous.

His eyes were too fiery.

[Ahhh, my husband, he looked at me!]

Is this an auditory hallucination? Strange.

Lu Tingzhou frowned silently.

Someone asked, “What’s wrong, Tingzhou?”

Lu Tingzhou shook his head and smiled slightly. His voice was like broken ice hitting jade, clear and light: “Nothing.”

Tingzhou?

Lu Tingzhou?

Ning Luo, who heard their conversation, barely pulled back some reason from the beauty.

Isn’t this the villain in the book?

If he is the control group of the fake young master Ning Xibai, then Lu Tingzhou is the control group of the positive attackers. Not only did he not fall in love with the protagonist, he also ignored his existence and embarrassed the protagonist many times. In the end, he even thought of ​​banning the protagonist due to his disturbance, which touched the reverse scale of the positive attackers, and was jointly suppressed and retired in embarrassment.

Having lost all his glory, he was in a miserable state, drinking all day, and finally died quietly in a car accident, and no one cared.

Thinking of this, Ning Luo suddenly felt like meeting the same wanderer in the world and instantly felt pity for Lu Tingzhou.

[It’s okay, husband; even if you are backstabbed by your relatives, betrayed by your friends, and sold out by your subordinates, you are not without a way out.]

[You still have a dead end.]

Lu Tingzhou couldn’t hold back the arc of his mouth for a second and lifted his eyelids to accurately locate the source of the sound.

Ning Luo was still feeling sorry, but his ears suddenly twitched, and his animal-like intuition made his back cold.

He looked up and found that there was another person in front of him.

Lu Tingzhou’s thin lips curled up, and his narrow and upturned fox eyes stared at Ning Luo without blinking and narrowed slightly.

“Who is this?”
