Chapter 143 - What A Pity

“What?” Jiang Li instantly understood. It turned out that it really was not a swindler just now, but an official of the Hundred Flowers Awards!

Jiang Li instantly widened her eyes and felt her heart beating wildly.

The movie she invested in was really shortlisted for an award?

Even the shortlisted had a trophy. Besides, this was the first time in his life that he had been nominated for an award. Even if she was not chosen in the end, she would still be happy.

After the phone call with Director Zhuo, Jiang Li immediately went home and locked herself in her room.

She was preparing to finish the design of her gown, and the news of Jiang Li’s nomination soon reached the ears of those who cared.

After Chu Chu found out about Jiang Li’s matter, she received a call from Fu Zhongtian not long after. “Chu Chu, you did well last time. I’ve already made a small profit from the stocks you mentioned. In the future, you must pay more attention, understand?”

After receiving Fu Zhongtian’s affirmation, Chu Chu’s face revealed a happy expression, “Thank you for your appreciation, President Fu. I will definitely work harder in the future. Although there is no news about Fu Jiuxiao recently, Jiang Li’s previous movie has been shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Awards. She will attend the award ceremony.”

Fu Zhongtian was not interested in Jiang Li’s matter. To him, Jiang Li was just a little girl who could not achieve anything. The only value was that Jiang Li could confuse Fu Jiuxiao, that was all.

Thus, Fu Zhongtian only replied with a lack of interest, “Okay, I got it. In the future, you should report to me more about Fu Jiuxiao.”

After saying that, Fu Zhongtian hung up the phone.

Chu Chu guessed that Fu Zhongtian was not interested in Jiang Li, so she did not say anything more. She was just a little disappointed. She had thought that Fu Zhongtian would take this important news seriously.

Although Fu Zhongtian did not pay much attention to Jiang Li’s nomination for the Hundred Flower Awards, Fu Yusheng was still concerned about it. Fu Yusheng suddenly had an idea and immediately called a senior judge of the Hundred Flower Awards, “Hello? Director Zhao, are you free recently? It’s like this, I want to treat you to a meal…”

Before Fu Yusheng could finish, director Zhao immediately agreed, “Of course, Young Master Fu is willing to treat me to a meal. It must be because of my ancestors’ bringing in good fortune.”

A trace of contempt flashed across Fu Yusheng’s eyes. There were many people who wanted to gain favor with the Fu family, and he was already tired of them.

However, when he thought about how he still had to make use of Director Zhao, Fu Yusheng’s tone was very polite, “Director Zhao, what are you talking about? It’s clearly my honor, but I still want you to help me invite two people over. I have some grudges with those two people, and they just happened to be shortlisted for the Hundred Flower Awards. I want to use this opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding.”

Fu Yusheng’s words were extremely sinister at the end. How could Director Zhao not understand Fu Yusheng’s meaning? He immediately guaranteed, “Don’t worry, I still have some reputation in the Hundred Flower Awards’ organizing committee. As long as I speak, they will definitely come over obediently.”

Director Zhao’s words made Fu Yusheng relax and he nodded his head in satisfaction. “Mmhm, that’s good. I’ll have to trouble you.”

Fu Yusheng hung up the phone and looked at the darkened phone screen. The smile on his face deepened. “Jiang Li, Oh Jiang Li, I’d like to see how you’re going to act this time!”

Jiang Li and Director Zhuo were invited out by director Zhao in the name of discussing the Hundred Flower Awards.

When the two of them arrived at the Sky Pavillion, they realized that this was actually a place for sex. Jiang Li’s heart was filled with disgust. This kind of disgust reached its peak when she pushed open the door of the private room.

In the private room, Fu Yusheng and director Zhao were surrounded by a group of beautiful women who were laughing and drinking. The pungent smell of cheap perfume mixed with the smell of alcohol made Jiang Li unable to help but feel disgusted.

Jiang Li took the initiative to sit down, but Fu Yusheng’s eyes kept looking at Jiang Li. It had to be said that this woman was really beautiful. When his father killed Fu Jiuxiao, he would definitely snatch this woman over.

Jiang Li did not drink or speak. Seeing this, Director Zhao could only make his move on Jiang Li’s director Zhuo. “Director Zhuo, you and I can be considered friends. After so many years, seeing that your efforts have no results, I feel sorry for you. Fortunately, you finally have a suitable opportunity. Actually, I called you here today to tell you that I can guarantee that you will win the prize.”

Hearing this, Jiang Li sneered. “Heh, there won’t be a free lunch in this world. What’s the condition?”

“The condition is that you apologize to Young Master Fu,” Director Zhao said without hesitation as if this was how things should be. Jiang Li’s expression darkened.

Fu Yusheng looked at Jiang Li’s expression and felt a wave of pleasure spread from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at Jiang Li, his eyes filled with greed and desire. “Jiang Li, can’t you learn from these women? Look, they’re so obedient. Only obedient women can get everything.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
