Chapter 806: Why is This Boy Everywhere?
Nian Junting listened disinterestedly.
He walked to the first row and saw a woman in a black dress talking to someone. She was wearing a pair of high heels and holding a wine gla.s.s. From the back, she looked very elegant.
“Ms. Morrison, excuse us, Mr. Nian’s seat is next to yours,” Mr. Chai smiled and said to her.
Hearing him, the lady turned around. She looked older than Nian Junting; her sunken eyes made her seem mixed-race. With a faint smile, she looked at Nian Junting from head to toe, “Mr. Chai, this is…”
“Let me introduce Mr. Nian to you. He is the owner of Shengting. He has purchased Yuxi.” Mr. Chai hurriedly introduced them to each other, “This is Ms. Morrison, the chairwoman of Luoxi Films. She’s new in the film and television industry too.”
“Mr. Nian, nice to meet you. I’ve heard so much about you.” Mo Jin reached out her hand and smiled faintly. “I heard that Yi Jingxi sold his company to me so urgently because you’ve thrown him into a desperate situation.”
“But you didn’t get it for a good price, did you?” He had no good feelings about the woman in front of him. If it wasn’t for her, he would have given Yi Group to Luosang as a gift, and that company wouldn’t have become Luoxi Films.
“It was not cheap, indeed. But too many people want it. I could only raise the price a little,” Mo Jin sighed.
Nian Junting wasn’t happy, so he didn’t want to spend too much time chatting with her. Flatly, he said, “Can you please step aside? I need to get in.”
Mo Jin raised her brows. Sensing the unhappiness that radiated from him, she said, “The meeting hasn’t started yet. Mr. Nian, you don’t need to get to your seat in rush, do you? We can talk.”
“I’m sorry. Based on my knowledge about the film and movie industry, what you’ve been talking about is just superficial,” said Nian Junting coldly.
Mo Jin stayed silent.
She was a little angry.
Nian Junting was too arrogant.
He was even more arrogant than her son.
“Yeah?” Mo Jin swirled her wine gla.s.s and said, “In this case, Mr. Nian, please share your knowledge with us. I just heard from Mr. Zheng that now was the time when the traditional film and movie works would collide with the internet-based works. Mr. Nian, how do you think we should look for new opportunities and new trends under the current circ.u.mstances?”
“If I told you, I’d be raising a strong enemy against our Yixi Films. I can understand it though. Ms. Morrison, as someone who sells iron and steel, you must feel a little confused as you have come to China to start your film business. Let me tell you something. It’s not so easy to earn money in the film and television industry in China. Dead companies are everywhere nowadays.” After saying that, Nian Junting walked straight past Mo Jin. The path was too narrow, so their shoulders brushed against each other.
Mo Jin’s wine gla.s.s shook slightly. She was so angry that her face paled.
“Mom, why did you argue with him? You can simply ask me about it. You don’t need to ask him,” Mo Liuxi walked over from the other side, wearing an army-green suit.
Seeing him, Nian Junting’s face turned green.
Why was that boy everywhere?
He really didn’t expect him to be Morrison’s son.
But that annoying woman did have an annoying son.
Her entire family was unpleasant.
He tilted his head and asked Mr. Chai in an unfriendly tone, “Can people bring their families to such a serious occasion? As far as I know, that boy is still in college.”
Mr. Chai put his mouth near his ear and whispered, “Mr. Nian, you might not know this. That was not just an ordinary boy. Earlier this year, a Hollywood film was released in China, called ‘Medusa’. That film earned over two-hundred billion on the first day. That boy was the scriptwriter of that film. Even though there were quite a few scriptwriters of that film. But according to a reliable source, he created that blockbuster single-handedly. He’s young, so he used his tutor’s name. His tutor is master Wilson, recognized internationally.”
Hearing him, Nian Junting felt really confused.
‘Medusa’, ‘Master Wilson’, it was the first time he had heard about those.
He never paid attention to the film industry.
Before he started dating Luosang, he had never even entered a cinema.
Mr. Chai carried on, “He is young indeed, but the films that he has worked on have won big awards in France and the United States. Earlier, he was studying at La FEMIS college. This year, he came to Ximei as an exchange student. Normally, the students from La FEMIS college will go to Beijing Film Academy, especially good students like him. But this time, he came to Xia City. It might have something to do with the fact that his mother is working here. We made quite an effort to invite him here, to give a speech. About films, that boy has sharp eyes. He also has many creative ideas.”
Nian Junting pulled a sour face.
He didn’t expect that boy to have such a strong background.
No wonder he was so arrogant.
He actually wanted his woman too.
However, he believed that no matter how good that boy was, he wouldn’t possibly be able to compare with a man like himself.
Geniuses could be found everywhere, but only a very few of them were as perfect as he was.
“I don’t know how has he been doing abroad, but currently, things are difficult in many ways in China, whether in terms of technology or environment,” Nian Junting disagreed.
Mr. Chai nodded and said, “The film and movie industry abroad is more serious than in China. They’ll spend every penny for the right reason. Unlike us. Nowadays, we’re spending all the money on famous actors and actresses.”
Nian Junting pressed his lips together and fell silent.
At that moment, Mo Liuxi walked to them and sat down next to Nian Junting.
Nian Junting pulled a long face.
Mo Liuxi even turned and gave him a proud smile, then said to Mr. Chai, “It seems that Mr. Nian doesn’t want me here. Should I leave?”
“He’s not in charge here. Ignore him,” Mo Jin had walked over as well. “Just see him like a fly, which is flying across your face.”
“I think you’re right,” Mo Liuxi nodded.
Mr. Chai was almost crying. “Liu Xi, Mr. Nian was joking. You are an important guest for the meeting. We’re all antic.i.p.ating your speech.”
Nian Junting stood up and said, “Do we have other seats? This place is so noisy.”
“But you shouldn’t sit back there…”
“It’s okay.”
Mr. Chai didn’t want the three of them to sit together either, so he hurriedly guided Nian Junting to the second row.
Mo Liuxi and his mother stayed in the first row.
Mo Liuxi turned and asked with a low voice, “Mo, how do you like your future son-in-law?”
Mo Jin frowned. She didn’t want to smoke, but after hearing her son’s question, she lowered her head and lit a cigarette with a frown. A while later, she slowly gave a few words, “He gave me an awful impression.”
He was proud, arrogant and impolite.
“I don’t like him either,” Mo Liuxi agreed.
He wouldn’t like any man who was with his sister.
Mo Jin sighed and said, “Don’t blame your sister though. She has poor taste in men, like me. That kind of thing runs in your blood.”
Mo Liuxi felt a little speechless.
