Chapter 236 - NOT CLOSE (1/2)
Zhong Feng looked at the report presented by Chen Li with some anger in his eyes. It had been another man. However, in spite of the corrective actions that had been taken with Illusion Entertainment, there were still rumours about his ȧssociation with Song Lili.
The culprit was obvious.
”It seems that some people are no longer taking me seriously.” There was a chill in his voice.
He remained silent for a moment. ”Chen Li, I believe that there is some kind of event happening with Illusion Entertainment today.”
”The company is celebrating the high earnings for the quarter. They have invited entertainment stars, management and investors.” Chen Li responded.
Zhong Feng had a tensed as he thought about the reason the income had been high. While there were some great projects, the primary contributor was Hu Lei's The Queen of the Apocalypse. He had been preoccupied that he had overlooked the specifics.
”I will be attending.” He declared.
A couple of hours later, the festivities were in full swing in one of the Zhong Industries hotels. The atmosphere was quite cheerful. After all, it was about the entertainment industry, not just a normal boring business gathering.
If Hu Lei had been present, she would have noticed some familiar faces. Of course, the cast of TQA was at the centre stage. Since the release of the movie, they had been having a great time. They had gotten more opportunities. Bei Gong Hai had even been offered a role in an international film.
Unfortunately, there were also some unfavourable faces.
Bei Gong Jiu was present, but she was much more subdued than she had been in the past. It seemed that her career had not been going as well as it had before she clashed with Hu Lei. Actually, the situation was not dire because she still had some diehard fans.
However, it seemed that the publishing company did not give her resources for promotion. So, her books were doing poorly compared to before. When she had inquired about it, she had been given a random excuse. It was later that someone in the high management who had a crush on her told her that it was a warning from above.
However, she was not the most distasteful character at the party.
When the party was at its peak, Zhong Feng stepped into the room with Assistant Chen in tow. His regal aura attracted a lot of attention from everyone. As a result, there was an almost immediate hush. The man did not seem discomfited by the attention.
Without further ado, he stepped up to the podium in the room. After all, he did not need an introduction before speaking. He did not say many words. He encouraged the people to enjoy themselves and mentioned that the success of the company could be primarily attributed to TQA. He went ahead to congratulate the author of the book as well as the cast members and the other staff.
