Chapter 1409: Chapter 1409: Ideas

Seeing the women’s faces change, Fang Dongxun wasn’t surprised at all.

He patted Chu Ming on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Miss Chu has already agreed to join us and said she would bring a few sisters over. I wonder what you famous stars think about this?”

Chu Ming was stunned after hearing Fang Dongxun’s words.

She had never heard Fang Dongxun mention this before, and she hadn’t agreed to anything.

However, with Fang Dongxun saying so, she couldn’t possibly contravene him in public, not even daring to question it.

After thinking it over, she immediately got excited.

If Fang Dongxun really wanted to set up a film and media company and let her join, then wouldn’t she become the boss’s wife?

Could it be Fang Dongxun thought of establishing a film and media company because of her?

At this thought, Chu Ming’s heartbeat accelerated, and her eyes filled with passion when she looked at Fang Dongxun.

“Is what Mr. Fang said true?” Cheng Binbin also came back to her senses from the shock, disregarding the sideways glances from the others, and hugged Fang Dongxun by the shoulder, “Is Mr. Fang really planning to enter the entertainment industry?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Fang Dongxun glared at Cheng Binbin.

Cheng Binbin immediately let go of Fang Dongxun’s arm and sat up straight.

After all, she had been in the entertainment industry for many years and was quite experienced, so she promptly said, “If Mr. Fang is ready to venture into the entertainment industry, then of course we would be willing to follow Mr. Fang, but we all have contracts binding us, wanting to leave is not simply up to us.”

“Do you think the same way?” Fang Dongxun turned his head to look at Chu Ming.

Chu Ming felt a chill in Fang Dongxun’s eyes and immediately shook her head, “How could that be? I am endlessly grateful for Mr. Fang’s help.”

As she said this, she even gave Fang Dongxun a flirtatious smile.

Luo Ziling didn’t speak; he was just quietly drinking his tea.

He was somewhat annoyed that Fang Dongxun had blurted this out without discussing it with him first.

Nevertheless, he didn’t dismantle Fang Dongxun’s facade and was curious to see what he would say next.

“Mr. Fang, can you tell us more about your plans in detail?” Yan Ying asked Fang Dongxun softly, then turned to Luo Ziling and said, “Mr. Luo, could you also share the plan you and Mr. Fang have? We are very interested.”

Upon hearing Yan Ying say this, Zhao Lijing also snapped back to reality and said with a smile to Fang Dongxun, “Mr. Fang, I am also very interested.”

“The plan is quite simple,” Fang Dongxun chuckled and said, “I want to establish an entertainment media company with Mr. Luo and aim to build it into the most influential film and media company in the country. But after setting the stage, we certainly need people to perform for us.”

“Mr. Fang, you’ll handle setting up the stage, and as for recruiting the performers, can you leave that to me?” Chu Ming, being a shrewd thinker, had already grasped Fang Dongxun’s intent and knew this was a great opportunity. Without waiting for the other women to react, she quickly chimed in: “After all, I have some fame in the acting industry. If I make the approach, many will be willing to come over. There will definitely be many whose contracts are expiring around now. And over the years, having worked with numerous people on TV and film projects, some actors who are quite skilled but haven’t had the chance to become famous—even though they have the potential—will definitely be willing to give the opportunity we offer a try. With a bit of effort to nurture these talents, we can certainly achieve results quickly.”

“Heh, some brains,” Fang Dongxun tapped Chu Ming on the shoulder and said with a laugh, “Smarter than what I had in mind.”

Seeing Fang Dongxun praising her in front of the others, Chu Ming immediately blossomed with joy.

“Let’s eat first, we can talk after the meal,” Luo Ziling spoke up, “I’m really hungry.”

Since today’s purpose was to discuss business cooperation with Fang Dongxun, Luo Ziling couldn’t just let Fang Dongxun play the leading role.

“Right, right, let’s eat first. We can chat while eating,” Fang Dongxun immediately echoed Luo Ziling’s words and asked Cheng Binbin to hurry the waiters again.

Soon, the food was served, and the wine was brought out.

Fang Dongxun filled Luo Ziling’s glass with wine and toasted him alone: “Mr. Luo, I’m toasting this first glass to you, thank you for your help. I, Fang Dongxun, will remember your kindness for a lifetime.”

“No need to be polite,” Luo Ziling raised his glass to clink with Fang Dongxun’s, and downed it in one gulp.

After Fang Dongxun drank, he gestured to Chu Ming to fill everyone’s glasses and raised his glass again, “I’ve always wanted to collaborate with Mr. Luo, but he never gave me the chance. This time, I had to use my eloquence to talk for a long time before he agreed to work with me. Ming, you should remember this, in the future, if there’s anything, ask Mr. Luo more often. He is smarter and more capable than I am. However, I must warn you, don’t fall for him just because he’s more handsome and manly than I am. Mr. Luo has no shortage of beautiful women by his side, each prettier than you.”

With that, he laughed heartily and emptied his glass.

Fang Dongxun’s words immediately made several women’s eyes shine.

But Luo Ziling didn’t say much, just smiling slightly and finishing the wine in his glass.

The women also noticed that Luo Ziling truly had a higher status than Fang Dongxun, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so confidently at ease in Fang Dongxun’s presence.

Therefore, their gaze towards Luo Ziling was filled with an additional layer of curiosity.

During the meal, the most enthusiastic and proactive was Cheng Binbin. This all-round capable woman, realizing that her comment about having the contract with her had displeased Fang Dongxun, could only try to make it up. She pledged that as soon as Fang Dongxun and Luo Ziling established the film and television company, she would definitely join them, not caring even if it meant carrying a huge penalty fee. Yan Ying and Zhao Lijing, on the other hand, did not explicitly express their stance. They were still not entirely clear about the situation and were more afraid that this was some trick by Fang Dongxun and Luo Ziling, with the purpose of lusting over their beauty and targeting them.

Throughout the meal, Luo Ziling didn’t talk much, only occasionally saying a few words. Most of the time, it was Fang Dongxun who was speaking.

Luo Ziling didn’t often go out for social engagements, plus he wasn’t very familiar with the others around him, so he didn’t want to say much. Meanwhile, Fang Dongxun was used to these kinds of social scenes and had a naturally boisterous nature, so during the dinner, he played the lead role, and his voice constantly echoed in the private room.

However, Fang Dongxun was still quite adept at social niceties. He cleverly highlighted Luo Ziling’s status, making the other four women feel that Luo Ziling was today’s true leading man.

As for such behavior from Fang Dongxun, Luo Ziling was quite satisfied.

It seems that Mr. Fang from the Fang Family is indeed worth befriending and is someone one could get along with for the long term.

But just as Fang Dongxun was speaking generously about matters and repeatedly elevating Luo Ziling’s image, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and several middle-aged men who seemed to be of status, led by a waiter, walked in from the entrance.

Fang Dongxun’s mood was instantly disrupted by the interruption, and his brows furrowed.

“Oh, so many big stars are dining here today, what a coincidence,” a portly middle-aged man came in and laughed heartily at the women, “Ladies, how about joining us for a drink?”

Upon hearing what the middle-aged man said, Fang Dongxun’s expression changed again.

But suddenly he calmed down, didn’t stand up, and just quietly watched.
