Chapter 112 Wen Lian's Kiss

Wang Zengming saw that Lu Zhuofeng had fallen silent, so he pressed the service bell. Soon, a waiter pushed the door open and walked in, politely asking:

"Leaders, is there anything I can help you with?"

Wang Zengming said calmly: "Serve the food."

Soon, dishes were served one after another, and Wang Zengming said:

"Zhuo Feng, Wen Liang, Director Xiao Cheng, let's eat first."

Zhao Wenliang had no appetite at all. He just stared at Cheng Cheng angrily, while also caring about Lu Zhuofeng. Lu Zhuofeng frowned in thought, weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind, and did not pick up his chopsticks.

Wang Zengming saw this and did not disturb him, so he said to Cheng Cheng: "Director Xiao Cheng, please eat something with me."

Cheng Cheng said, "Great! The dishes arranged by President Wang are so sumptuous that I am already drooling! It seems that President Wang is not only an outstanding leader in the film industry, but also an artist who understands life and tastes!"

"Alright, alright!" Wang Zengming waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You don't have to flatter me. Just try it!"

Although Cheng Cheng's flattery was free, to be honest, Wang Zengming felt very comfortable inside to be praised so much by such a talented young director.

Cheng Cheng picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and just as he put it into his mouth, he said exaggeratedly: "Hey, it's delicious!"

Wang Zengming said kindly:
"Isn't it delicious? I ordered this dish for lunch today, and it was really good."

Zhao Wenliang felt sick to death when he saw the old man and the young boy being so sweet to each other!

Wang Zengming asked as he ate: "By the way, what are the themes of the two movies you mentioned in the second half of the year? Movie directors should make more movies~"

Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "President is right. I shoot TV series to spice things up and hone the level of my actors. There will be two movies in the second half of the year, one about youth romance and the other about crime. However, this crime movie can also be called an art film."

"Oh?" Wang Zengming was surprised. "Art film?"

Cheng Cheng said: "Yes, it is a work that I intend to submit for an award."

Wang Zengming was delighted to see the prey and said, "Tell me in detail."

Cheng Cheng first briefly summarized the content of the movie to Wang Zengming, and then said:

"The plot mainly revolves around a wanted criminal. The most superficial symbols of this movie are pigeons, snakes, and pigs, which respectively symbolize the three poisons of Buddhism: greed, anger, and ignorance. The Venerable is the pigeon representing greed, the Shadow Island Man is the snake representing anger, and the protagonist represents the pig representing ignorance. The protagonist's hunting is the process of killing greed, anger, and ignorance, so in the end he also died and also achieved enlightenment."

Wang Zengming's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Great, great, this is a great idea!"

When Cheng Cheng was talking, Lu Zhuofeng also pricked up his ears to listen, and the more he listened, the more bitter he felt.

When Cheng Cheng and Wang Zengming finished their meal, Zhao Wenliang and Lu Zhuofeng didn't even touch their chopsticks.

Wang Zengming looked at Lu Zhuofeng and asked calmly, "Zhuofeng, have you thought it through? I won't force you."

Lu Zhuofeng looked up at Cheng Cheng. At this moment, his cloudy eyes were full of bloodshot, and he looked old and sad.

He spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling: "I can apologize to you and compensate you, but I can't apologize to Wen Lian, and I can't post on Weibo."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Wenliang's heart was broken!
When has he ever seen Zhuo Feng bowing his head?
They have been together since childhood and have experienced ups and downs together. In his heart, Lu Zhuofeng has always been proud, conceited, and talented!

But at this moment, he was forced to apologize.

What defeated him was not Cheng Cheng, nor Wang Zengming, but time!

Zhao Wenliang screamed: "Zhuo Feng!"

At this moment, he really wanted to tear Cheng Cheng apart alive!

Lu Zhuofeng shook his head: "Wenliang, listen to me! Let me handle it!"

Cheng Cheng raised his eyebrows and said:

"Don't want to apologize to Wen Lian? Don't want to post on Weibo? Then there's nothing to talk about!
If there is nothing to discuss, then forget it. Anyway, I want to give you a chance for President Wang's sake. I am not afraid of you, so let's continue to fight and see who can't stand it first!"

Zhao Wenliang said angrily: "Cheng, don't go too far!"

Cheng Cheng looked at him and rolled up his sleeves: "Stop talking nonsense! Do you believe that I will slap you in the face?"

He has been enduring this old dog for a long time, always barking! It makes people feel annoyed!
Zhao Wenliang stiffened his neck and said, "You dare! Do you have the guts to try?"

Cheng Cheng: "Try and you will die!"

"Okay, stop arguing!" Wang Zengming shouted in a deep voice, stopping the two people from arguing. Then he looked at Lu Zhuofeng and said to him, "Zhuofeng, I promise you that what happened tonight will not be spread out."

"I--"

Lu Zhuofeng felt a slight iron taste in his mouth. He clenched his teeth, and the humiliation in his heart grew like a vine!
He could accept an apology to Cheng Cheng, but he absolutely could not accept an apology to Wen Lian!
Cheng Cheng is still an enemy who defeated him, but what about Wen Lian?
Wen Lian is just an insignificant actress. There are countless people like her who have fallen under his power one after another!
Apologizing to Wen Lian, what is that? !

Zhao Wenliang cried out in injustice:

"President Wang, you can't be so partial, right? Why do you force us to bow our heads? And just let Cheng Cheng make random demands here? Can't his conditions be changed at all?"

Wang Zengming looked at Cheng Cheng: "Director Xiao Cheng, please give me some face and lower your head. After all, Director Zhuo Feng is your senior."

"I will definitely give President Wang face." Cheng Cheng said, "How about this, you don't have to post on Weibo, I will do it, but you must like my post within five minutes!"

Zhao Wenliang: “That’s it?”

"You are still here to find faults. I am giving you face, right?" Cheng Cheng stood up and pretended to leave. "Then let's meet at the movie market! Do you really think I am willing to chat with you? It's up to me to see whether I torture you or not!"

"Wait a minute..." Lu Zhuofeng stretched out his hand, then put it down dejectedly, "I'm sorry!"

At this moment, all the energy and spirit seemed to be drained out of his body.

Zhao Wenliang was angry and said, "Zhuo Feng!"

Lu Zhuofeng: "Wenliang, let's apologize."

Wang Zengming finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Hahahaha, that's it! There's no hurdle that can't be overcome!"

Cheng Cheng sneered: "Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier?"

He immediately called Wen Lian: "Wen Lian, come to the restaurant on the second floor."

After a while, Wen Lian walked into the box led by the waiter.

When she walked into the box, especially when she saw Lu Zhuofeng and Zhao Wenliang, her heart tightened involuntarily, but out of trust in Cheng Cheng, she still stood beside Cheng Cheng.

"Director Cheng, you're looking for me?"

Cheng Cheng said: "Let me introduce you to our Tianxia Film Association's supreme president, Wang. It is under his far-sighted leadership that the Tianxia Film Association has continued to grow and develop and achieved world-renowned achievements. President Wang not only has extremely high attainments in artistic creation, but also in industry management and..."

Seeing that Cheng Cheng was about to continue to flatter, Wang Zengming quickly interrupted:
"Wen Lian, huh? I've seen your performance. Don't listen to your nonsense, Director Cheng. I'm just an ordinary old man who's just making use of my remaining energy in this position."

Wen Lian bowed slightly and said, "Hello, President Wang!"

Wang Zengming gave her a false support and said with a smile, "Hey, you're welcome."

Cheng Cheng looked at Lu Zhuofeng: "Don't just stand there! Let's get started!"

Under Wen Lian's puzzled gaze, Lu Zhuofeng's wrinkled face struggled violently. His lips moved, and after a long while, he uttered three words with difficulty:

"I'm sorry." Wen Lian's beautiful eyes widened instantly, flashing with disbelief.

Cheng Cheng was still not satisfied: "That's it? Why don't you make your apology clear?"

Zhao Wenliang was heartbroken, and he slapped himself hard:

"I come!"

He looked at Wen Lian:
"It was my fault back then! Don't blame Zhuo Feng! I was the one who was responsible for banning you, so blame me if you want to! I deserve to die. I took advantage of you because of my dirty heart and unsatisfied desires! I'm a beast, I'm not a human!"

"Wenliang!!! Wenliang!" Lu Zhuofeng grabbed him and shouted, "It's not yours! You don't have to fight for me. I did everything by myself. Wenlian, I apologize to you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for both things! I beg for your forgiveness."

Wen Lian had never thought that she would face such a situation. After all, this was Lu Zhuofeng!

One of the three major directors of Tianxia and one of the most powerful people in the entire Tianxia entertainment industry!

Lu Zhuofeng is the shadow in her heart and her inner demon. In her heart, even though she has cut Lu Zhuofeng into pieces countless times, she dare not hope to see Lu Zhuofeng bow his head for a moment in reality.

Just now, when she walked into the door, she thought that Cheng Cheng and Lu Zhuofeng had already shaken hands and were going to trade her away.

But she never expected this situation.

She clenched her fists tightly and said nothing.

Cheng Cheng frowned and interrupted, "Lv Zhuofeng, did you guys make a mistake? What I want is for you to apologize to Wen Lian, not to ask for her forgiveness. The people you hurt will never forgive you, don't do unnecessary things!"

"Okay~", Cheng Cheng waved his hand, "You should apologize to me."

Lu Zhuofeng's inner pride had been completely shattered. He now just wanted to complete the process as soon as possible: "I, Lu Zhuofeng, am sorry for you for taking the file without permission. It's also my fault for taking action repeatedly!"

Wang Zengming spoke at the right time:
"Director Xiaocheng, Zhuo Feng is a senior with great influence and has made outstanding contributions to the Tianxia film market. I think his apology should be sincere enough. We are all colleagues, and we will meet each other sooner or later. Please give him a way out. The film industry needs the wisdom and experience of senior directors, and also the innovation and vitality of young directors. The two complement each other and can jointly promote the development of the film industry."

Cheng Cheng said, "President Wang, I will stop while I am ahead, but I hope he can also realize his mistake. He doesn't have to try out actresses when casting."

He looked at Lu Zhuofeng and Zhao Wenliang, and added:

"Or the actor. In short, I won't specifically target him again, but if he does something dirty or messes with me again, don't blame me for speaking up! Also, transfer the 6 million yuan to Wen Lian as compensation quickly. I'll give you the card number tomorrow. Also, I'll post on Weibo at 11pm. Remember to like my post!"

Lu Zhuofeng uttered one word: "Okay."

Then, he turned to look at Wang Zengming and said, "President Wang, if there is nothing else, Wenliang and I will go back and rest first."

Wang Zengming said: "Well, okay, go to bed early!"

He also knew how much sacrifice Lu Zhuofeng and Zhao Wenliang had made this time, and he couldn't bear to provoke them any further.

Lu Zhuofeng and Zhao Wenliang left the room like two old dogs supporting each other.

Wang Zengming glanced at Cheng Cheng and Wen Lian and said, "Then I'll go back too. You two can chat."

Cheng Cheng: "President Wang, I'll see you off."

Wang Zengming: “No, no!”

After Wang Zengming left, only Cheng Cheng and Wen Lian were left in the box.

Wen Lian suddenly began to sob softly.

Cheng Cheng stood up and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Wen Lian's face was covered with tears. She sobbed and said, "I, I'm excited."

Cheng Cheng: "Why are you crying when you are excited? Who said you should cry when you are excited?"

Wen Lian: "Ah? Why can't I cry when I'm excited?"

"Wait a minute!" Cheng Cheng asked, "Why are you crying when you are so excited? Think about it carefully, why are you crying when you are so excited?"

Wen Lian tilted her head, tears still hanging on her cheeks, and said, "Ah?"

Then, she punched Cheng Cheng's chest, threw herself into his arms, and burst into tears.

Cheng Cheng thought: Oh no, I can’t control it!

Wen Lian cried louder and louder, and her crying became more and more unrestrained, and soon her sobbing turned into a childish cry. She was completely unlike the mature and beautiful lady who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Cheng Cheng also felt a little sad. After all, Wen Lian was just a girl deep down.

What she experienced back then was almost identical to what her original body had experienced.

Anyone who is named as a sleeping partner or banned by the most powerful person in the entertainment industry would be very scared.

When she first auditioned for "All or Nothing", she must have given up on herself.

Now, she was just venting all the grievances and fears she had suffered over the years through crying.

Wen Lian cried for a long time, and Cheng Cheng felt that his clothes were wet with tears.

Her body also became weaker and weaker from crying, but fortunately she had stopped.

However, she slowly discovered something wrong with Cheng Cheng's body.

This reminded her of a riddle her best friend once told her:
Once upon a time, there was a blind man carrying a lame man across a river. The lame man said that there were two people bathing in front of them. The lame man did not tell the blind man whether the people bathing were a man or a woman, but the blind man knew that the people bathing were a woman.

At that time, when her best friend told her the answer, she was so embarrassed. But now, she truly felt what the blind man felt.

She sobbed and left Cheng Cheng's arms awkwardly, her phoenix eyes sweeping over Cheng Cheng's body shyly.

Cheng Cheng sat down calmly, covering up the strangeness, and said:

"I'm a normal man, and you have such a great body. You've been lying in my arms for so long. This is a normal physiological reaction. You can't blame me, right?"

Wen Lian blushed and waved her hands: "Don't blame me~"

Cheng Cheng said: "Then I will go back to my room."

"Wait!" Wen Lian suddenly shouted.

Cheng Cheng: "What's wrong?"

Wen Lian stood on tiptoe and left a kiss on Cheng Cheng's cheek, saying emotionally: "Director Cheng, thank you for everything you have done for me~ I am very grateful to you~"

Having said that, she dropped her heels and quickly fled the scene.

Like a rose petal, it was blown away by the wind.

Cheng Cheng felt the wet touch on his face and smelled the lingering fragrance in the air, feeling a little distracted.

It's obvious that my second brother is a little bit immature today!

After returning to the room, Cheng Cheng turned on his computer, edited a Weibo post, and sent it out:

"I already have a girlfriend @吕卓峰, please don't disturb me."
