Gu Xiaoqi lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Who dares to bully me?"

Mu Liancheng had always been well-versed in news regarding Gu Xiaoqi. Lin Xi did not dare to tell him about this matter, but he had secretly informed him about it.

Mu Liancheng was very angry, which was why he immediately withdrew his money, and did not give the other party any chance to turn back.

He had asked two of his friends to come forward, but the money had always come from his account, so he wanted Xiao Qi to not be too hard on him.

But Lin Xi treated him as a fool, and wanted to kick Xiao Qi away in the nick of time.

Before Lin Xi did this, had he thought about him?

"Xiao Qi, don't be afraid, I'm here." As long as I, Mu Liancheng, am still alive, I will not be bullied.

Mu Liancheng came back for revenge very quickly. After the Dragon Cat TV released the news, the Mu Family Group official posted a message on his Weibo: "From today onwards, all the companies controlled by Mu Family Group will no longer choose to work with the following artists. The originally signed advertising endorsements will also be cancelled immediately, and you will receive double the compensation for the cancellation of the contract."

Below was a long list of names. As long as it was in this matter, the artistes who had targeted Gu Xiaoqi before were all on the list.

Mu Liancheng's actions were like slaps that were slapping the faces of these arrogant celebrities. Their jealousy had still hurt him.

This matter stirred up a huge uproar. For Gu Xiaoqi, openly opposing half a circle of people with Mu Family Group seemed to be unwise.

But Mu Liancheng was not an idiot, because there was still another half of the entertainment circle that was more rational. Some of them relied on their status and were not willing to suppress the younger generation, while others were cautious and cherished their feathers.

However, this did not mean that they would let go of the opportunity to wipe out their competitors.

Because of Gu Xiaoqi, the circle had gone through a great reshuffle. Some people became famous overnight, while others fell to the Divine Altar.

From a public enemy, she had become an existence that no one dared to provoke.

If one were to say that in this farce, the Gu Xiaoqi who had the most benefits was the one who regretted it the most.

He grumbled as he drank the wine, and spoke while losing his composure, "It's all my fault. Even though I knew how much Ninth Master Mu valued Gu Xiaoqi, I still chose to be wise and protect myself. The investment that I finally managed to find, has failed once again. "

Ji An accompanied his and drank a cup of wine without saying anything.

Although he and Lin Xi had been good friends for many years, he actually didn't really like Lin Xi in this matter.

As a director, not only did he not speak up for himself, he even had to erase the other party's efforts. Forget about the investment that Gu Xiaoqi had made, just the friendship that the other party had for him could not make him so disappointed.

Seeing that his old friend didn't respond, Lin Xi didn't care about showing his face anymore and bluntly said: "Old Ji, help me out with something, and try to negotiate with Ninth Master …"

From the moment Lin Xi entered the room, Ji An had already guessed his intentions.

The two of them were already so familiar, so Ji An did not come empty-handed either. He self-deprecatingly said, "Old Lin, I know you've been preparing this movie for a long time, it's not easy. I'm not afraid of you making fun of me, I don't even have any face in front of the Ninth Master, they only spoke a little more to me because of Xiao Qi. "

They, the directors, had a good reputation, but in the eyes of these wealthy families, they were nothing at all.

"Old Lin, listen to my advice. Go and have a good talk with Xiao Qi, she isn't a mean person."

"Too late …" Lin Xi smiled bitterly and lowered his head, "Last night, I had already received an email from Gu Xiaoqi's studio. She will no longer act in this movie."

"Because of time constraints, we didn't even have the time to sign the contract and she left as she pleased." Lin Xi's intestines were already turning green from the destruction.

Now that he had lost the investment and cowardice, the crucial opposing boss was gone. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to continue filming this movie.

In the end, she was still his good friend. Ji An sighed deeply, "Forget it, I'll give Xiao Qi a call and use my old face."

After saying that, he took out his cell phone and dialed.

"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP …"

Ji An switched on the hands-free, and the other side quickly picked up the call.

"Xiao Qi, it's me, Ji An. "That …" Ji An hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Xiao Qi, this is a matter that Lin Xi has not considered properly, the disturbance has already passed, when will you enter the group?"

Ji An feigned ignorance, and came to check Gu Xiaoqi's words.

There was no reply for a long time.

Lin Xi became anxious. He grabbed the phone and spoke in a somewhat chaotic manner: "Gu Xiaoqi, you, don't be angry. I'll apologize to you, I apologize …"

Lin Xi had indeed drunk a lot of wine, and his words were intermittent. Although he had said words of apology, his tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

Ji An thought that it was not good, but before he could explain, a cold voice came from his side.

"I am Mu Liancheng."

Ji An, "..."

Lin Xi, "..."

The two of them only needed to drink their wine immediately. They could mess around with Gu Xiaoqi while she was drinking, but they wouldn't dare to mess around with Mu Liancheng.

"Nine, Ninth Master." Ji An shuddered and subconsciously sat up straight.

Mu Liancheng looked at the figure that was happily cooking in the kitchen, and the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of warmth.

"I've invested 100 million into your show." Mu Liancheng did not continue the conversation between the two. Instead, he pointed at them and said, "I, Mu Lao Jiu, have always been generous to people who know gratitude."

With that, Mu Liancheng hung up the phone.

Ji An was first overjoyed, and then, he awkwardly looked at Lin Xi who was beside him.

Ninth Master was telling Lin Xi in a different way. He did this on purpose, there was no room for discussion.

Since things had come to this, what could Lin Xi say? He had brought this upon himself.

Laughing bitterly, Lin Xi said unhappily: "Old Ji, congratulations. After so much preparation, your wish can finally be fulfilled. "

Everyone who was a director wanted to make a movie they liked when they just started.

But without fame, money, or connections, all he could do was accept some vulgar and lousy commercial films.

Only then can capitalists be willing to invest money, by slowly making a name for themselves.

Most of the time, they were poor people who could only produce bad movies and were scolded by others. They had no way of getting out of this predicament.

To be fair, there were many good directors in the industry right now. They could make super movies that were not inferior to those in foreign countries, but the market would not allow it.

Some people's fighting spirit had been soothed, but some people like Lin Xi and others like Ji An were still struggling bitterly.

Lin Xi returned home in a daze. He sat on the sofa, held the bottle of wine and cried silently.

Suddenly, a message was sent, "Director Lin, I am Gu Xiaoqi. I have decided to invest 50 million in the name of the studio. Let's meet up at a later time."

Lin Xi rubbed his eyes with all his might, finding it hard to believe.

Gu Xiaoqi, you want to invest in his show?

Lin Xi quickly replied: "Alright, set the time, I'll definitely be there on time."

Holding the phone, Lin Xi laughed and cried again. This was not the end of the world.

With this fifty million, he would at least be able to continue filming.

Gu Xiaoqi sat on the sofa and shook her head.

Just now, Ji An had called her, saying that < The Dreamlike Order > was on standby. Just this weekend, he mentioned about Lin Xi.

The current Gu Xiaoqi had a calmer and more forgiving frame of mind.

When she saw Lin Xi as only a partner and not a friend, things were not that hard to accept anymore.

And she did look favorably upon Lin Xi's play, so after asking for Ninth Master's opinion, she went from being a participant to an investor.

On the day《 Dreamlike Order》 was released, Gu Xiaoqi and Mu Liancheng went to the cinema.

The title piece uses the traditional ink and water wind, drifting and free.

Gu Xiaoqi had never blinked her eyes the entire time. She did not even dare to believe that the domineering and beautiful woman on the screen was her, and she also did not dare believe that she would be humble because of a man who was as crazy and despicable as he was.

In the end, when Liang Shuang died in the arms of Emperor Zhao Ren, a wave of suppressed wails sounded out in the cinema. The girls in front of her couldn't help but wail: "Men are all big pig's hooves, he promised to do this to Liang Shuang for a lifetime."

That's right, he would have a good life, and Liang Shuang had believed in this as well.

But she had forgotten that she was married to the Emperor.

Afraid that the others would find out, Gu Xiaoqi waited until the very end to leave.

Along the way, she heard a lot of people discussing "Dreamlike Order s". The girls with soft minds all had red eyes like little rabbits.

Gu Xiaoqi pulled Mu Liancheng, and slowly walked out, but unexpectedly, she was still recognized by the sharp-eyed spectators.

Xiao Qi? Gu Xiaoqi? " A girl in a light blue dress called out her name in surprise.

The surrounding people were immediately attracted over.

"Where, where, where?"

Being surrounded by a crowd, Gu Xiaoqi quickly took off her hat and greeted everyone with a smile, "Hello everyone."

Although they recognized Gu Xiaoqi, they were still rational. Although they were excited to see their idol, but they remembered that this was a public place where they didn't shout loudly.

As they talked with Gu Xiaoqi, they set their gazes on the man beside him.

A fan laughed and teased, "Sister Xiao Qi, is this our brother-in-law?"

Gu Xiaoqi did not try to hide it from him, and openly took Mu Liancheng's hand, introducing him: "Yes, this is my boyfriend."

Mu Liancheng's usual ice-cold face softened a bit. He nodded politely, then carefully protected Xiao Qi, not letting her be hit.

The fans who were fed a mouthful of dog food, "..."

They really just asked casually.

After chatting for a bit, Gu Xiaoqi successfully left the cinema.

After getting on the car, she said excitedly: "Ninth Master, they are all enjoying my movie!"

"Yes, my Xiao Qi is great." Mu Liancheng said to You Rong.

"Then, does Ninth Master like this movie?"

"I don't like it." Mu Liancheng answered without even thinking.

"Why?" Gu Xiaoqi was extremely wronged.
