Chapter 3 (1/2)
Chapter 3, Tang Xiao…
Tang Xiao had seen so many madmen in his life that sometimes he felt that the world may be destroyed in the next second. After all, there are so many madmen in the world. Most of the people who stand at the top of the pyramid of power are too, madmen. As long as a nerve in their brains snaps, the world will be destroyed by a shower of bullets and explosions.
Although there are a lot of madmen around him, Tang Xiao always thought he was very rational, and that his three views¹ were very normal, a very rare normal person.
The forefinger and thumb held the cigar and twisted it gently. There was no cracking sound heard. The fresh, hand-made full-leaf rolled cigar from Cuba was held by the man. An a.s.sistant swipes red sparks from special matches that lasted longer than ordinary matches. First, they light strips of cedar wood, and then they light the cigar in the man's hand with the lit wood.
Tang Xiao took a slight breath from his cigar. The smoke rolled in his mouth bitterly, with a little sweetness. He tasted the cigar in his hand slowly in a regular manner and smoke came out lightly as he breathed. The white cigar smoke lingered around him as if waiting for him to savor it carefully.
This is life. Savor it slowly from every detail. There are not many gentlemen who know how to savor the little things in the world that has become too fast and full of temptations. And not long ago, the one person whom Tang Xiao thought knew how to enjoy life the most, had left this vain world.
“I'm very sorry about Master Su.” The end of the cigar gradually emerged soot, Tang Xiao looked sadly at the collaborator sitting opposite him, who had a cold face all the time.
“Don't feel sorry, my lord is not yet dead.” The voice is slightly rigid. Chen Yuan, like his name, brought an illusion of the abyss of h.e.l.l to outsiders. Using Tang Xiao's cognitive ability, Chen Yuan was also a madman, a madman who did not fear death.
Under the eyes was a subtle shadow that could not be hidden. Chen Yuan looked a little haggard. Is it because of Master Su's death? Tang Xiao took a sip of spirits², the bitter taste spread through his mouth. As far as he knew, a year ago, the name of Master Su had basically been erased. Why did Chen Yuan, who seemed to be a foolish madman to the world, seize power?
Inevitably, Tang Xiao remembered the former leader of the Su family.
At that time, Tang Xiao was still a chick under the patronage of Tang Dad. And Tang Xiao, who had just reached ten years old, had the privilege of following Tang Dad in an arms trade in the Middle East to meet Su Bai, a famous leader of both the white and black.
Master Su was in his early thirties. He held an antique white jade smoke gun in his left hand and took a gentle breath from time to time. Then, while slowly spitting out a mouthful of white smoke, he held a relaxed clutch on the armrest with his right hand. Tang Xiao only saw Master Su's white scallion-like index finger slightly bend, and the little boy who was peeping behind his father felt like he was going to be hooked away.
Bang bang bang —
A series of gunshots awakened Tang Xiao, whose soul had nearly been lost. At that time, Chen Yuan, who was still a small loyal dog, already had an emotionless face and stood beside Master Su with a black machine gun, shooting madly at someone.
Then, Su Ye seemed to have scolded Chen Yuan, and then his right hand slapped onto the face of the little loyal dog. Chen Yuan flew out like a kite and hit the ground brutally. His mouth was full of blood and his face was swollen. Young Tang Xiao did not see any anger on the face of the little loyal dog. Instead, he saw the ecstasy hidden in the bottom of his eyes.
Later, the little Tang Xiao had to go to the toilet urgently. In the hallway, he saw Master Su gently stroking Chen Yuan's swollen, round cheek with the same hand that hit him. The loyal dog kept his head down and shook his head continuously. He said it didn't hurt, like a copy machine.
From that time on, Tang Xiao knew that the Su Family master, or Chen Yuan, the blackened loyal dog, could only be allies, and not enemies. They were all a group of lunatics.
Coming back to his senses, Tang Xiao's cigar had gone out.
When the cigar was thrown into the ashtray casually, Tang Xiao pushed the contract file in front of Chen Yuan, “A fake sh.e.l.l onto the markets, in order to show sincerity, you can decide its name.”
With the pen in his white-gloved hand, Chen Yuan wrote his signature swiftly. Looking at the contract book in front of him, Chen Yuan whispered two words, “Universe”.
Tang Xiao was quietly relieved. He was really afraid that Chen Yuan would take names such as “Su Bai”, “Su Chen”, “Bai Yuan” or “Xiao Bai”.
“Then our new company will be called Universe Entertainment, and may we have a pleasant cooperation.”
Once finished, Chen Yuan left, leaving no feelings behind but a gla.s.s of untouched whiskey.
“Say, why do you think Chen Yuan likes wearing white gloves so much?” Shaking his head, Tang Xiao had just gotten up when the a.s.sistant came over with a mobile phone.
“Tang Zhong³, it's a call from Young Master Su.”
“Young Master Su, which one?” Tang Xiao casually glanced at Ah Feng, his a.s.sistant.
“Su Yiyang, a movie star who is very popular now. He is also a first-line actor of the new company Weiyu. You had a one-night stand with him a while ago.” As Ah Feng spoke, his face stayed the same.
“Oh, what's wrong with him?” Entertainment companies make money first by making movies, but in the end, they have to collaborate together with the Su Family, exploiting the stock market to make a big profit. As for the small stars under the company, the n.o.ble Tang Xiao seldom remembers.
“Weeping, said he was driven out by his brother.” Ah Feng muttered in his heart, he remembered Su Yiyang. An innocent rabbit on the surface, but was a little fox deep in his bones. It was actually incredible that he was being bullied by his brother now.
“Oh, that little fox seems to be from the Su family? Okay, you can take somebody to see to it. ”
