The engagement reception of Xu Jinheng and Liu Jialing was arranged to be held at the prestigious Mandarin Hotel.

Opened in 1963, Mandarin Oriental is the flagship hotel of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, and its signature feature is the hotel's signature combination of tradition and modernity, West and East. Many foreign celebrities and dignitaries have lived here, including the late Princess Diana, former British Prime Minister Lady Detzall, former US President Richard Brown. Millhouse. Nixon, Ford and George H.W. Bush, Toncholus, Oddclouds Coatsner, etc.

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong is the most famous in later generations, but it was the jump of my brother in 03, for countless people, that day was gone.

When Chen Ping'an and Zhang Manyu rushed to the Mandarin Hotel, guests had already arrived one after another. When Chen Ping'an's iconic Mercedes-Benz S stopped at the door of the hotel, many reporters raised their cameras, waiting to see which female star would attend Xu Jinheng and Liu Jialing's engagement reception with him.

This is an engagement reception, alas, it's easy to play!

Zhang Manyu's appearance disappointed the reporter.

After Chen Ping'an returned to Hong Kong, he rarely attended various activities, and every time his female companion was Zhang Manyu, Zhang Manyu was about to become Chen Ping'an's fixed female companion, and Zhang Manyu was also the first female artist to join Dark Horse International, which has no hype value.

The two walked into the lobby of the hotel with a traditional British design, and were led by the waiter to the banquet hall on the first floor. The banquet hall is an elegant Chinese style, decorated with luxurious atmosphere and unconventional, in order to cooperate with the engagement meeting, the hotel staff specially decorated, ribbon lanterns and banners to congratulate a festive atmosphere.

"Mr. Chen!"

As soon as Chen Ping'an and Zhang Manyu, who were dressed in evening dresses, walked into the banquet hall, tonight's hostess Liu Jialing saw it and walked over holding Xu Jinheng's arm.

"Jinheng, this is Mr. Chen from Dark Horse International." Liu Jialing introduced, "Mr. Chen, this is my fiancé Xu Jinheng. ”

Xu Jinheng was personable, stretched out his hand first, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen's name, Xu is like thunder, I often hear Jialing mention it, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to meet!" ”

How often does she mention me in front of you?

Chen Ping'an felt a little strange, his face did not show it, and he stretched out his hand to shake Xu Jinheng: "Xu Gongzi is too exalted to me, how can a small person like me compare to Xu Gongzi's fame?" ”

"Ann is too modest. Xu Mou just had to rely on his father's protection, An Shao laid a great foundation with his bare hands, Xu Mou was dwarfed by it. ”

"Can you two stop touting each other anymore, they're both young talents with great achievements, right? Isn't it tiring to be so hypocritical! ”

"This must be Miss Maggie, she is quick and cheerful, no wonder she will become the first female star signed by Mr. Chen."

Chen Ping'an was puzzled. He and Xu Jinheng met for the first time, and slept with each other's fiancée, and the other party's attitude was so enthusiastic that he was a little uncomfortable. In fact, when he received the invitation sent by Liu Jialing, his heart was full of question marks.

Is it appropriate for me to go?

Zhang Manyu used to be in wireless and knew Liu Jialing, and she also received an invitation from Liu Jialing, of course, she was not allowed to become his female companion. If it weren't for Zhang Manyu to go, he would have wanted to find an excuse to shirk it. The woman she slept with was engaged to someone else, and she had to attend...... Even if he has no feelings for Liu Jialing, he feels strange in his heart.

"An Shao, don't you know, you are the big matchmaker for the two of us!"

Xu Jinheng's words solved all the mysteries in Chen Ping'an's heart.

Last summer, "The True Color of Heroes" caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and Xu Jinheng was also enthusiastic about watching it, watching it five times. It was in this movie that he really met Liu Jialing. Although Liu Jialing's role in the movie does not have too many outstanding places, he thinks that Liu Jialing acted very well.

After "The True Color of Heroes", Liu Jialing starred in many TV series on TVB, and her roles became more and more heavy, Xu Jinheng can often see Liu Jialing's beautiful figure on TV, and his heart ripples.

He asked someone to investigate Liu Jialing's background. This Suzhou girl first arrived in Hong Kong, but she was born beautiful, but she could not be admitted to the TVB artist training class because of her native accent. In order to learn Cantonese well, three days a week, read the news aloud, sing Cantonese songs aloud, and then record it and give it to the teacher in the training class, asking the other party to correct it tone by tone. Thanks to her unremitting efforts, it took only two years from the mainland to Hong Kong to be able to act in Cantonese. No actor has been able to do this.

Then there is the bloody romance that later generations will know.

One night, Liu Jialing went out driving and the car burst a tire. She called her friend Wu Junru for help, and Wu Junru gave Xu Jinheng the opportunity to save the beauty of the hero, and then Xu Jinheng appeared in front of Liu Jialing. In a straight suit, he condescended to change Liu Jialing's tires and made himself dirty. A descendant of the Xu family, with assets of 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, is willing to do such "heavy work" for himself, Liu Jialing was moved. After that, Xu Jinheng kept dating her alone, and finally touched Fang's heart.

Therefore, Xu Jinheng and Liu Jialing are both regarded as matchmakers by Chen Ping'an.

Is that really all there is to it?

Chen Ping'an was skeptical.

He was right, and invited him to the engagement party, one of Xu Jinheng's purposes was to find out whether the scandal between Chen Ping'an and Liu Jialing was true or false.

When "The True Color of Heroes" was painted last year, he also thought that there was something between Chen Ping'an and Liu Jialing, but as Dark Horse International made a movie, there was a scandal between Chen Ping'an and the heroine, and he looked at this kind of scandal more and more lightly.

As a descendant of the Xu family, he has a natural advantage in business, and he can understand Chen Ping'an's use of scandals to promote movies during his entrepreneurship. That's the lowest cost and the most effective means, there is no one. As long as the movie itself has materials, it will definitely be able to sell well.

Chen Ping'an and Liu Jialing met today, he has been paying attention to the subtle expressions of the two, and found that the faces of the two were as usual, but Zhang Manyu's tone was a little coquettish - coquettish to Chen Ping'an, which made the last trace of mustard in his heart dissipate.

After determining that there was nothing between the two, Xu Jinheng threw out another purpose, he wanted to invest in Dark Horse International.

Dark Horse International spent one billion yuan to buy the Causeway Bay Convention Center, buy a plot of land in Tseung Kwan O, and build a Dark Horse International Film and Television City in Tseung Kwan O, which has long spread in the business community. This has nothing to do with Chen Ping'an's level of filmmaking, it is purely the sense of smell in business of various business groups.

The British government in Hong Kong has long proposed the development of Tseung Kwan O, but unfortunately progress has been slow. The establishment of Dark Horse International Film and Television City will change Tseung Kwan O is a topic that many business groups have recently discussed, and even the British government in Hong Kong is paying attention to.

If Dark Horse International Film and Television City can increase the popularity of Tseung Kwan O, the British government of Hong Kong can take the opportunity to promote the development of Tseung Kwan O, and many commercial groups need to plan ahead to seize business opportunities.

Xu Jinheng is not interested in participating, he has taken a fancy to the entertainment industry, and the super high box office of "Ghost Love" has made him see the film's ability to attract money, and Dark Horse International is a very suitable investment object.

Dark Horse International spent one billion, mostly from Jardine Matheson Bank, he thought that Chen Ping'an did not have enough funds in his hands, and he put forward a request for investment and shares with the help of Liu Jialing, and reasonable conditions should be able to impress Chen Ping'an.

It's a pity that Chen Ping'an didn't give him a chance to offer the so-called reasonable conditions, and directly rejected him: "Xu Gongzi is kind, I understand it." However, my company is currently well funded, and to put it mildly, even if Jardine Matheson suddenly asks for the loan to be repaid, I can easily repay it. ”

Feeling the resolute attitude in Chen Ping'an's words, Xu Jinheng didn't insist anymore, but he also lost interest in chatting with Chen Ping'an in detail. The four chatted briefly for a while, Xu Jinheng smiled and asked Chen Ping'an to give Liu Jialing more opportunities in the future, and then took Liu Jialing to entertain other guests.

The engagement reception was of a very high standard, and the guests present were either rich or noble, as well as many celebrities in the entertainment industry. Chen Ping'an walked to the seat in the corner diagonally opposite with his wine glass, and many people who didn't know him along the way took the initiative to greet him. He nodded in response, his smile stiffened, and he sat down in his seat before letting out a sigh of relief.

"You don't seem to be in high spirits, is it because Liu Jialing is getting married?" Zhang Manyu whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense, Liu Jialing and I have nothing at all."

Fool whom! Zhang Manyu pursed her lips and asked again, "Then why are you not in high spirits?" ”

Chen Ping'an doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, in his opinion, the vast majority of people in this kind of occasion are a mask, using this occasion to complete some kind of shady transaction. In the future life, he can't help it, if he doesn't attend this kind of occasion and get to know more gold masters, even if he is a cutting-edge director, he may have no drama to film.

But now it's different, he doesn't need to get acquainted with any financiers, he can be his director quietly and make his movies. As for the task of getting acquainted with characters in various scenes, just leave it to Shi Nansheng and Ye Zhiming. Didn't you see those two over there, chatting happily with people in the film industry and business world?

It's a pity that it's difficult to have quiet in the entertainment industry, either you have to get to know people, or others come to get to know you. In less than ten minutes, there have been three groups of people, all of whom are business elites, real estate, catering, and finance, the first two asked him about the Dark Horse International Film and Television City, and the latter group was a euphemism that if the Dark Horse International still needs a loan, their bank can provide more favorable terms.

"I just found out you're so bored!"

Chen Ping'an smiled: "Think I'm bored? Then go talk to a friend. ”

"Go and go, you think I don't dare! Ah, I saw two friends and went over to say hello to them. ”

After Zhang Manyu left, Chen Ping'an took a sip of wine and rubbed his forehead vigorously. Xu Jinheng suddenly proposed to invest in shares, which gave rise to a trace of doubt in his heart, could that black hand be Xu's?

I have to say that in the past two months, the black hand has suddenly died down, adding a lot of troubles to him.

Grandson, you should shoot again, otherwise how would I catch you!

"A'an, I hid from ** last year, and today Xu Gongzi and Jialing are engaged, you are still hiding, you are too wrong!"

Cheng Long's voice made Chen Ping'an open his eyes, but it was not only Cheng Long who caught his eyes, but also Hong Jinbao, Pan Disheng, Cen Jianxun and their respective female companions behind him. R1152
