Feng Mang by Chai Jidan (English Translation: COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 203

With Feng Muzhi accompanying him, Li Shang went to Cai Peng's "lair"—Hengyu Film and Television Media Co. Ltd.

The company is located on the 23rd floor of an old office building. With only 3 studios and 20 staff, the working environment can only be called simple and crude in its highest form.

Moreover, Li Shang arrival did not add any vitality to the place. Everyone's eyes were indifferent and it seems they were not the least bit curious about this popular niche.

"Excuse me, where can we wait for Mr. Cai Peng?" Feng Muzhi politely consulted a female staff.

The female staff had an 'I don't give a d*mn' tone, "You can sit wherever you want to sit, can't you see there are seats everywhere?"

Feng Muzhi awkwardly hehe'd, "Thank you."

The female staff didn't even say "you're welcome" before directly going back to her studio.

Li Shang had dealt with so many companies and none of those companies ever had such attitude. It became more difficult for him to understand why Feng Muzhi is so optimistic about this company's prospect.

They have been waiting for half an hour before the figure of Cai Peng and his assistant appeared on the doorway.

Li Shang turned his head, his expression instantly turning stupid.

Cai Peng's assistant was unexpectedly the person who beat him up that day he lost the battle for the lead role against Han Dong.

Feng Muzhi, sensing Li Shang's abnormality, immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Li Shang looked away.

Cai Peng and his assistant walked in front of the two. Feng Muzhi stood up and smilingly extended her hand to Cai Peng.

"Director Cai, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Cai Peng directly raised his chin at Li Shang without even bothering to glance at her.

"Go in and talk."

Feng Muzhi felt somewhat embarrassed but she still entered Cai Peng's office with Li Shang.

As a result, as soon Li Shang's feet stepped in Cai Peng's assistant closed the door with the back of his foot.

"I didn't call you." The assistant coldly stated.

Feng Muzhi was already mentally prepared so she was indifferent to such treatment. She directly sat outside to wait.

After Li Shang went in he first expressed his intention to Cai Peng, speaking sincerely and with low stance, which is completely different from the high-profile image he projected behind the camera.

Pity Cai Peng did not eat such act.

He did not wait for Li Shang to finish speaking and promptly asked without mincing his words: "Why do you like to grab Han Dong's things?"

Li Shang did not expect that Cai Peng's first words would be so sharp. Fortunately he was mentally prepared so he could deal with it calmly.

"I think you misunderstood, I merely like this role. No matter who plays it, I will continue to fight for it."

Cai Peng sneered, "An artist who believes his development is good, how could he softly begged an unknown boss if there is no personal grudge involved?"

"Well, I admit there's a personal element involved, but more importantly, I am very optimistic about this film as well as the development prospects of your company."

Cai Peng unhurriedly drew a smoke, "You really are very good at talking, but I still don't like you."

Li Shang put up with it and did not get angry.

"You don't know me very well. I am a person who pays special attention to eye-affinity. If I feel that you're good at first glance, I will still like you even if you ride on my neck and sh*t on my head. On the contrary, if I feel you're no good at first glance, I will still find you unpleasant even if you kowtowed with both your hands."

(Eye-affinity = this is has nothing to do with appearance. This is when you instinctually find someone pleasing or hate someone even though it's the first time you met them)

While speaking, Cai Peng suddenly came to Li Shang's side and sprayed a puff of smoke on his face.

"I'm very sorry. The first time I saw you were at the scene of the competition between you and Han Dong for that lead role."

Li Shang choked and continued coughing.

But Cai Peng laughed, "Say... Even if I don't use Han Dong, would I be a stupid c*nt to use you instead?"

"Everyone specializes in something. He beating me is proof that he is more suitable for that role. But other roles, he may not necessarily be as good as me."

"I said I am a person who pays special attention to eye-affinity. I look at people through narrow visions. Anyhow, I will look down on you no matter what, so what can you do about it, hm?"

As long as Li Shang receives less  punishment than limb lengthening surgery, at this moment he turns around to leave, but before he did he said: "I don't need you to like me when you look at me. I want to ask, what is it going to take for you to consider me?"

Cai Peng calmly replied: "It's very simple. Either it's guaranteed that Han Dong will certainly not appear in my movie, or I want to take the opportunity to torture you for him."

Hearing these words, Li Shang tightly clenched his fist before loosening them up.

"Excuse me."

***

When Feng Muzhi saw Li Shang come out, she hurriedly walked over and asked: "How was it?"

Li Shang didn't have to say anything, the result is clearly written on his face.

Beyond his expectation, Feng Muzhi did not chastise Li Shang for this, on the contrary she comforted him in a soft voice: "Forget it, if he doesn't want to we really can't force it."

On the road back, Li Shang's eyes continued to firmly watch a certain area, the state of his mind is unknown.

When the car reached a fork on the road, Feng Muzhi suddenly instructed the driver: "Turn to the East, there's an important matter I have to do."

"Okay." The driver obediently adjusted the direction.

Subsequently, as soon as the car drove to the activity center it was blocked by a crowd of people, creating a situation where it's practically impossible to move a single step.

Li Shang swept a glance outside. The place was full of people.

A magnificent and unprecedented event was happening. The security alone has reach as many as 100 people. Countless people were holding fresh flowers, propaganda boards and large banners in their hands, looking like they were participating in some kind of event.

"What are they doing?" Li Shang asked the assistant.

Theassistant was about to reply but Feng Muzhi interrupted: "Xia Yangzhuo's fanmeeting."
