Chapter 439 - 380: The Disguiser Wraps Up

Wu Yun stood up. "Ms. Zhou, personally, I welcome your company’s interest. But this is something we need to discuss with our shareholders. After all, a B-round is a major undertaking."

Zhou Shuwen also stood up. "I understand. In that case, I’ll be waiting for good news from President Wu and President Zhou."

Zhou Shuwen glanced at the expensive-looking ladies’ watch on her wrist. "It’s getting late, President Wu, President Zhou. Lunch is on me today. Let’s sit down and have a good chat. I must say, I really admire President Wu’s investment acumen!"

After a moment’s consideration, Wu Yun nodded and agreed.

After asking Wu Yun for a headcount, Zhou Shuwen took out her phone and made a call. "Xiaoxi, get two tables of your best food ready for your big sis—one in a private room and one in the main hall! And make it the highest standard!"

Hanging up, Zhou Shuwen pointed to her watch and smiled. "President Wu, President Zhou! Let’s head over now. The timing is perfect."

Soon, Wu Yun and his group followed the location Zhou Shuwen sent and arrived at a lavishly decorated hotel in Modu.

Zhou Shuwen had arrived a step ahead of Wu Yun’s group and was chatting idly at the hotel entrance with a sharp-looking woman in professional attire.

Seeing Wu Yun and the others approach, Zhou Shuwen walked over with her female assistant and the woman in professional attire. She introduced them with a smile, "President Wu, President Zhou, this is Wang Xi. Her family owns this hotel, and Revitalization Capital also holds a partial stake in it."

Wang Xi, who looked to be in her early twenties, extended her hand gracefully. "President Wu, I’ve heard so much about you! Welcome to our hotel."

Then, Wang Xi shook hands with Zhou Shen and offered a few words of welcome.

Wang Xi wasn’t conventionally beautiful, but her capable and efficient air was striking.

Wu Yun asked with a smile, "Miss Wang, are you the hotel’s general manager?"

Wang Xi smiled and said humbly, "President Wu, you’re too kind. My abilities aren’t quite up to that level yet. I’m just the lobby manager for now."

With that, she gestured toward the main entrance behind her. "President Wu, President Zhou, please! Everything is ready."

...

On the Modu set of *Disguiser*.

At Li Xue’s command to cut, the final shot for Yu Manli, played by Qi Fei, was completed. The surrounding crowd burst into applause.

Standing in the crowd, Wen Meng had an excited expression, her slender hands red from clapping.

Many in the crowd were secretly casting glances at the hot-bodied young woman Qi Fei had brought with her. However, no one on the crew dared to make a move. After all, everyone knew about Qi Fei’s background; it wasn’t worth offending an investor over a beautiful woman.

However, not far away, two young men were looking in their direction.

One of them, a trendily dressed man in his twenties, whispered to the young man beside him, "Well? Did you find out anything about that beauty?"

"Young Master Kong! I just asked around. That beauty was brought here by Qi Fei! She’s probably a friend of hers. I’ve never seen her before, so she’s likely not in the industry or is just a newcomer."

The young man speaking sized Wen Meng up and down, clucking his tongue. "Young Master Kong! You can’t let a prime specimen like this slip away!"

Kong Xin recalled the warning his father had given him before he came: "I know you like to fool around, but you absolutely cannot touch any of the main cast on this set! Especially not that actress, Qi Fei. Her background is formidable! Even your old man can’t afford to offend her!"

So, thinking of this, Kong Xin hesitated. He hadn’t expected to see a woman who made his heart race the very day he arrived.

After a moment of contemplation, Kong Xin saw Qi Fei emerge from the crowd, chatting and laughing with the beauty who had captured his attention.

The way Wen Meng’s chest rose and fell like waves as she laughed animatedly, in particular, made Kong Xin, a man who’d seen countless women, feel his mouth go dry. ’What a top-tier woman!’

"Old Li! Go test the waters. Ask her if she wants to get into the entertainment industry! You know the drill, right?"

Hearing Kong Xin’s words, Li Ming nodded. "Don’t worry, Young Master Kong! We’ve done this so many times! You still don’t trust me? Just watch!"

Li Ming straightened his relatively formal attire, pulled two business cards from his card case, and then walked with a smile towards the corner of the set where Qi Fei and Wen Meng were standing.

"Feifei! Your acting is amazing! Just watching from the sidelines, it was like you became a completely different person! Like a real protagonist from a spy movie!" Wen Meng exclaimed. She hadn’t seen a single trace of acting in Qi Fei’s expression; it was as if that was just who Qi Fei was.

Qi Fei smiled faintly. "It’s just practice makes perfect! Just like your dancing. I was so surprised when Xiaoyunzi first showed me that video of you dancing!"

Qi Fei reached out, wanting to squeeze Wen Meng’s chest, but stopped when she felt the gazes of many people on them. "Xiaoyunzi sure is a lucky guy!"

"Tonight..."

"Excuse me!" A hearty laugh rang out, and both Qi Fei and Wen Meng turned to look at the man beside them, who was about their height.

The man, dressed in a casual suit, said with a smile, "Miss Qi Fei, and you, miss, sorry to bother you."

Seeing he had captured both women’s attention, Li Ming continued, "Let me introduce myself. I’m Li Ming, a talent scout for Noon Sunshine!"

He said this as he handed over his business card.

Not wanting to be rude to a smiling face, Qi Fei and Wen Meng accepted the card and glanced at it. They didn’t doubt the man’s identity; after all, anyone who could get onto the set had to be either an investor or part of the crew.

"I saw this lady’s look and bearing from a distance just now, and I think she has great potential in the entertainment industry! I was wondering if you, miss, have any interest in pursuing a career in showbiz?"
