Chapter 61: Pavilions and Terraces near Water
The English teacher coughed awkwardly and said, "Leaving class early is very bad behavior. I hope you all won't learn from this student. Alright, let's continue the lesson." In her eyes, Pang Guang was just a piece of crap. She had only two years left before retirement, and suddenly she had an epiphany - everything about performance was nonsense. The most important thing was to get through the next two years safely and smoothly, then retire and play with her grandkids.
At the same time, a grand promotion conference hosted by Tianxing International Entertainment and Shuguang Artist Management Company was held at Fuhao Hotel to promote the next locally produced youth drama. To create momentum, the organizers spent heavily to invite international superstar Hawick Lau.
The banquet hall was grandly decorated, with a high ceiling of over 10 meters, and an atmosphere that was both majestic and elegant. The Emperor Hotel had cancelled all the staff's holidays in the banquet department just to ensure the success of this promotional event. In fact, even if they hadn't taken this measure, the hotel staff wouldn't have wanted to take the day off anyway. After all, who would want to miss this rare opportunity to get up close and personal with a celebrity? Zhang Xiaoting was from the top floor dining department and didn't belong to the same department as the banquet department, so she couldn't participate in this promotional event. In order to be able to attend, she specially requested to work overtime without pay, and unconditionally went to the banquet hall to provide support. The manager was naturally delighted to have such a selfless and dedicated employee.
Zhang Xiaoting was overjoyed, and before going to work, she specially put on some light makeup and applied some cherry-red lipstick. Rushing to the hotel, there was still an hour before the press conference began.
Just as Zhang Xiaoting was about to fall asleep, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "He's here! He's here!" The entire banquet hall instantly boiled over, and the waiters stretched their necks to look outside the door: "Wow, cool!"
"Hey... what's going on, pay attention to your image." The banquet department manager personally took charge today and saw that all the employees were in disarray. He hurriedly stopped them: "Everyone get back to their posts and do their own jobs properly. Anyone who shouts again will be deducted 5 points."
The waiter didn't dare to move again, and after licking his tongue, he returned to his position. They all knew that this was a matter of money, and the hotel implemented a deduction system. Any employee who made a mistake would be deducted 1 to 5 points, with 5 points being the most severe punishment. The manager had already given the warning that anyone who didn't behave would not get paid, but those closer to the door couldn't help sneaking glances outside.
A majestic fleet of cars slowly came to a stop in front of the hotel entrance. More than ten red sports cars, with their doors opening simultaneously, revealed more than ten robust men wearing suits and sunglasses, who stood in two rows. The crowd and reporters, witnessing this spectacle, retreated in unison. Behind the sports cars followed three black sedans, each with a golden emblem on the hood that resembled both a human and an eagle. A woman in her thirties stepped out of one of the sedans, holding an umbrella and blocking the door frame with her other hand. After about a minute, a slender leg emerged from the car, followed by Haofei walking slowly out of the Rolls-Royce. Immediately, a flurry of camera flashes erupted as reporters, eager not to miss any shot, craned their necks.
Under the escort of Zhuang Han, Hao Feifei finally sat on the rostrum of the new film's press conference. At this time, the relevant persons in charge of Shuguang Managerial Company and Tiān Xīng International Entertainment had also arrived early, waiting for Hao Feifei to arrive and announce the formal start of the press conference.
Taking advantage of the fact that the press conference had not yet officially started, Zhao Hangquan found an excuse to leave the venue. As soon as he stood up, he immediately felt his hands and feet weaken, and in his heart, he cursed bitterly. The young model who was called over earlier was named Xiangxiang, she was someone he had personally promoted and also one of his favorites, because Xiangxiang understood men's psychology very well, and on the bed, she was even more skilled, two hours later, Zhao Hangquan was drained dry, now even walking made his calves feel weak.
On the corridor with a red carpet, Zhao Hangquan dialed Lin Junyun's mobile phone and waited for a long time before it finally connected.
"Jun Yun, our new film is about to start its promotional campaign, have you thought about what I told you?"
"Uncle, I'm in class now, let's talk after school." Lin Junyun tried to lower her voice as much as possible, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly found that the math teacher was already walking towards her with a serious face. She quickly added: "Sorry, I'll hang up first."
"By the time you get out of class, it'll be too late. At the press conference, I want to make a big show of pushing you forward and securing your position as the second female lead. This is a great opportunity to perform alongside Hao Feifei and guarantee a hit. If we miss this chance, there won't be another one...” Zhao Hankui hadn't finished speaking when the receiver transmitted a "beep beep" signal, clearly indicating that Lin Junyun had hung up the phone.
"You're really cheap, giving face but not wanting face, I'll eat you sooner or later." Zhao Hankui was depressed for a while, raised his head and turned around to return to the meeting room, and suddenly bumped into a girl's body. The girl held a cup of boiling water in her hand and splashed it on his chest. Zhao Hankui's black and white striped shirt immediately got wet all over.
