Chapter 1268 - Can I please invite you for a dance? (1/2)

“What do you mean by fooling? Please pay attention to your words, Ms. Watson.” His hooked-nose pointed directly at Emma as a hint of disgust quickly flashed across Felix’s eyes.

A typical movie star would not be qualified to speak to him like this, but Emma was different. She somehow managed to become the brand ambassador for nutrient supplies. Despite Future Biology not being a core asset within Future Group, she was still under the Future Group umbrella.

Among the second-tier stars in Warner Bros’ portfolio, she was the only untouchable one.

He could offend anyone but Future Group.

After all, Future Technology was starting to replace Industrial Light and Magic in Hollywood. VR filming technology not only could save on cost, but the box office of VR theatres became one of the most dominant channels for film producers.

Of course, even if he did not dare to offend the giant corporation behind her, it did not mean he could not scold her.

“What’s wrong? Ms. Emma, do you want to ask me for a dance?” Felix sneered. “I heard that the Women Rights Organization that you’re a part of is discussing removing you, is that true? I heard that it’s accusing you of being a bit*h hiding under the symbol of Social Justice Warriors, and actually worked for a boss who did not respect women’s rights.”

As an executive of Warner Bros., he knew Emma’s pain points. In her early years, in order to brand herself into a “model woman with high education qualifications”, she even put aside her acting career under the advice of her agency, and frequently advocated for equal rights, and even spoke on behalf of an organization at the United Nations…

However, her branding could be described as a failure, or rather, she did not synchronize her perspective with the person responsible for “branding” her. A voice of doubt always existed that questioned if she truly advocated for equal rights since the end of Harry Potter.

“Felix, let’s not discuss my issues. You should worry about your situation first,” Emma took a deep breath and watched Felix with a grin, “Before you try to hit on someone, why not try and learn about the other person’s background?”

Felix’s expression changed slightly, and then he stared directly at Liu Yao.

After a closer examination, this woman seemed familiar.

But he could not recall why she looked familiar.

To be honest, he could not distinguish the difference between Asian faces like most international executives sent to Asia. Other than extremely popular celebrities with distinctive features, or those he worked with frequently, he could rarely recognize someone immediately.

“Sorry, may I ask you for your name?” Felix barely maintained his calmness as he politely asked Liu Yao.

“Liu Yao.”

Liu Yao…?

Never heard of it… wait.

Suddenly, Felix’s expression changed drastically and droplet of sweat started to appear on his forehead.

When he was sent to Asia, he heard a rumor. A film invested by Future Technology held a premiere at Nippon, and the son of a real estate mogul tried to force himself onto an actress.

He didn’t know what happened in the middle, but he did hear about what happened in the end. The real estate company worth trillions of Yen vanished. Both the father and son were thrown into jail. The rumor also said the Sumitomo Consortium was behind the scene, and Sumitomo was the biggest partner of Celestial Trade’s energy export project…

Sweat dripped down from Felix’s sideburn, he swallowed down and finally understood the situation he got himself into.

The CEO of a trillion Yen company was uprooted overnight, and as an executive of a subsidiary of Warner Brothers, what was he worth.

Liu Yao may be that man’s…

Without paying attention to Felix, who left after he was scared by his own thought, Liu Yao looked at Emma Watson with slight confusion.

Although she knew some stars in Hollywood, their interactions were limited, and they at most spoke a couple of sentences.

“Thank you.”

“No need, it was nothing,” Emma smiled and slightly raised her goblet. “If he continues to bother you, you can tell me. This is my card.”

Continue to bother me?

Liu Yao did not think that the man would dare to bother her after learning about her identity.

But she graciously accepted Emma’s kindness.

Because they worked together in the same field, and previously cooperated together in the film co-invested by Warner Bros. and Future Group. After exchanging business cards, they went to the side to chat.
