“What are you saying? You guys were kicked out by the staff in Hengdian, and you can’t film in Hengdian anymore?” In a luxury suite of a high-end hotel in Hengdian, a young man, embracing a seductive woman, glanced at Director Li, who appeared flustered.

“Yes, Young Master Wang, it’s the order from the top level of Hengdian,” Director Li’s expression dimmed as well, knowing that he might bid farewell to his directing career.

If Zhou Chao were here, he would have recognized that the “Young Master Wang” Director Li mentioned was none other than Wang Hao, whom he had clashed with in Star City before.

“I’ve only been gone for less than half an hour, and something like this happened. What the heck is going on?” Wang Hao’s face turned even more unpleasant.

Director Li cautiously said, “Young Master Wang, I’m not entirely sure myself. I just heard from Li Yang that someone from our crew offended his boss!” “His boss? Isn’t his boss the owner of Hengdian?” Wang Hao looked puzzled. “Yes, that’s right. Normally, the owner of Hengdian wouldn’t come to a place like this. Even if he did, we would have heard something about it. On my way back, I was thinking about this too, but I couldn’t figure out what happened,” Director Li explained, equally puzzled about how they had offended the owner of Hengdian for no apparent reason.

Wang Hao pondered for a moment before saying, “Go and ask the people in your crew if they offended anyone today, regardless of age or gender.”

Director Li understood Wang Hao’s implication, suspecting that someone from their crew had offended a younger member or a friend of the Hengdian owner.

“Alright, Young Master Wang, I’ll go right away.” With that, Director Li left Wang Hao’s room, leaving only Wang Hao and the sexy woman who had remained silent.

Once Director Li was gone, the woman in Wang Hao’s arms spoke up, “Young Master Wang, you promised to make me a star, but now I can’t even film.” Looking at the alluring woman in his arms, Wang Hao couldn’t help but think about taking her right there on the sofa. But he refrained, knowing that Director Li would return soon. Regardless, he was determined to give the woman an unforgettable experience later. Although they couldn’t engage in anything too exciting, his hands continued to explore her, focusing on the left breast.

The woman occasionally let out soft moans, and even her delicate face turned pink, making Wang Hao itch with desire.

“Young Master Wang, I know what’s going on now.” Director Li returned in a hurry, without knocking on the door, and happened to see Wang Hao’s hand wandering under the woman’s clothes.

For a moment, all three of them were left in an awkward silence. Director Li cleared his throat awkwardly, turned away, and then, incidentally, glanced at the woman’s snowy skin as he left the room.

Wang Hao and the woman quickly adjusted their clothes. “Director Li, did you find out what happened? What’s going on?”

“Today, when we were on Guangzhou Street, two young people got into an argument with our production assistant. Our people smashed their phone and threatened that if they dared to post anything online, we would send our internet army after them. When those two young people left, they didn’t say much.” Director Li explained, feeling embarrassed by recent events.

Hearing this, Wang Hao jumped up from the sofa and scolded Director Li, “Are your fucking people a bunch of hooligans? Instead of smashing their phones, why didn’t you just beat them up? By the way, what happened to those people who smashed the phone?”

“Uh, they left.”

At this moment, Wang Hao was a bit perplexed, “Left? Where did they go?”

“I… I’m not sure. According to our crew members, they left our crew and joined another one after hearing that we were kicked out of Hengdian,” Director Li admitted, not hiding anything.

“I must be blind to have hired you as a director. You can’t even control your own people. You deserve to film only lousy movies. If you weren’t so old, I’d beat you up right now,” Wang Hao scolded Director Li, frustrated that the trouble caused by his crew had come back to haunt him. It seemed that Director Li was incapable of handling his own team, and Wang Hao was left to deal with the consequences.

“Young Master Wang, what should we do then?”

“What can we do? We’ll go film elsewhere. Is Hengdian the only place left to film in the world?” Wang Hao responded with frustration.

Director Li nodded in agreement and prepared to gather the crew members to discuss the next steps.

“Oh, do you have any footage of the incident? Show it to me,” Wang Hao stopped Director Li as he was about to leave.

“Well, we do. Someone from the crew recorded it. I’ll send it to you right away.” Director Li quickly took out his phone and sent the video to Wang Hao.

As Wang Hao watched the video, he couldn’t believe his eyes. He recognized the two people in the video very well, and he muttered, “How could he be the owner of Hengdian? This is impossible.”

After watching the entire video, Wang Hao slumped onto the sofa, utterly shocked.

“Young Master Wang, are you alright?”

It took him a while, but Wang Hao finally regained his composure and sighed, “Director Li, it seems like we won’t be filming anymore. Let’s disband the crew.”

Although he wasn’t sure if Zhou Chao was the owner of Hengdian, he had learned from his father in Star City that Zhou Chao might be a prominent businessman. Dealing with them would be a piece of cake for Zhou Chao. It seemed safer to return to Star City and lay low, as the outside world appeared to be too dangerous.
