Chapter Seventy-Five: Something's Brewing

  There is still one more update in the evening, seeking votes and support!!!

  Li Bao bumped into Jia Xiaozi, turned around and saw He Mu, who was silently hugging a pretty little girl and laughing very happily. Li Bao saw it, and Jia Xiaozi also saw it. Before he could act, she ran over first, "Hey, who are you? Who let you hug my sister?"

  ——————

  Many big shots in the entertainment industry were present, and many of them didn't recognize each other. Only a few who were usually high-profile could be called out by name. After scanning the room, He Mu's eyes landed on a little girl who had slipped away from the crowd of adults. When he saw her running towards Xiao Fang, he guessed that she might be Xiao Fang's daughter, Xiao Xiang. At that time, Xiao Fang was chatting with guests, and He Mu, seeing that no one was taking care of the child, stopped her and asked if her name was indeed Xiao Xiang.

  Because he had just acted with a three-year-old girl, although the little girl was not very cooperative during filming, He Mu felt that the little girl still liked him very much, so he thought he had a good relationship with Lolita. Now seeing Xiao Xiang's beautiful foreign dress, He Mu couldn't help but want to show off his charm.

  The little girl acknowledged that she was Xiao Xiang and then looked up seriously at He Wu and said, "Uncle, you're blocking my way."

  He Mu squatted down to Xiao Xiang's height and pointed at Xiao Fang, asking her: "Are you looking for your dad?"

  Xiao Xiang nodded, and He Mu smiled: "There are so many people here, and you're so small. If you get trampled, what will happen? I'll carry you over to find Dad, okay?"

  Xiao Xiang looked at He Mu, thought for a moment, and handsome boys always easily get girls' favor, although she was only five years old, Xiao Xiang finally nodded in agreement.

  He Mu picked up Xiao Xiang and asked where her mother was. Xiao Xiang said her mother was behind them, but before they could take two steps, a short-haired girl came storming towards him, with Li Wen Hua following close behind.

  Facing the girl's inquiry, He Mu hadn't had time to respond when a woman's voice sounded from behind him: "Yezi, he is your uncle's friend." A very calm and steady voice.

  He Mu turned his head back, and Xiao Xiang immediately broke free from his arms and hung onto the woman's body, "Mom."

  It turned out that this was Xiao Fang's wife. This was He Mu's first time seeing her in person, and even without her police uniform, she still had a refreshing and elegant demeanor. He hastily greeted her, saying "Hello, Auntie."

  Hao Hui nodded, then threw her daughter to He Wu: "You help me take care of Xiangxiang, I'll go entertain the guests." Although they had never met before, she was already very familiar with He Wu.

  "Aunt, I can take Xiangxiang too." said Yezi, the fake young master.

  "Xiangxiang has been spoiled by you," Hao Hui gave Yezi a glance, and then said, "Alright, the three of you can take care of the child together."

  Hao Hui's sentence also put Li Wen into the ranks of "daddy".

  Three adults with a child found a table by the side and sat down. Li Wen Hua looked at Ye Zi Suo and asked, "Are you surnamed Ye or named Ye?" From her way of addressing Xiao Fang's wife, Li Wen Hua was certain that she should be Xiao Fang's niece, namely Xiao Mei's daughter.

  "Her surname is Ye and her name is Wei Yang." The little girl said coolly.

  "What a great name! Just by hearing it, I can tell your parents are very cultured."

  Ye Weiyang didn't take the hint and said: "How did you know it was my parents who chose it? Could it be that my uncle chose it?"

  Li Wenhua sneered twice and stopped paying attention to this fake little kid who seemed to have grown thorns.

  At this time, He Mu had already made a breakthrough on Xiao Xiang's body. He successfully introduced his name and constellation to the little girl.

  "Ah, you're an Aquarius too!" Xiao Xiang was delighted to have found someone of the same kind, "Me too!"

  When it comes to constellations, the always cool Ye Weiyang also joined the topic. He Miao thought of Xiao Fang's words that Xiao Xiang's constellation study was learned from this cousin, and now it seems that Ye Weiyang indeed has a deep understanding of constellation studies, analyzing the personalities of He Miao and Xiao Xiang to be spot on - rebellious, unconventional, and having wide-ranging interests. What he said was really accurate. He Miao took the opportunity to pull in Li Wenhua, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, "This guy is Capricorn, what does he have to say?"

  Ye Weiyang was taken aback, as a Virgo, the most suitable romantic partner for her would be Capricorn, but looking at Li Wenhua's physique, she lost interest in making any comments, "Look it up online yourself."

  Ye Weiyang's words made Li Pang so angry that he was about to explode, but he couldn't lose his temper after all, since her mother was the leader of their industry, and one had to respect the Buddha for the sake of the monk.

  After a while, the guests had basically arrived, and Xiao Lao Ye was also brought out by his children and grandchildren. It's not quite right to say "brought out", although Xiao Lao Ye is in his nineties, he is still spirited and sharp-minded, but for show of respect, he was supported by his daughter on the arm.

  This was He Mu's first meeting with Xiao Lao Ye, who before his retirement was a high-ranking official at the deputy ministerial level. Although he had an air of authority about him, there was more elegance than sternness to his demeanor. Xiao Fang had once said that his father enjoyed calligraphy and painting, listening to opera, playing mahjong, and had a strong interest in researching things left behind by their ancestors.

  The guests took their seats, and He Mu's table had only three and a half people. Xiao Fang waved at them from afar, asking them to come over and sit down.

  The only ones sitting at the main table, apart from Old Man Xiao and his son-in-law, were Film Bureau Director Shen and Zhongying's Han Sanping. Even the daughters and daughter-in-laws were seated at other tables with the female guests. He Mu Li's cultural background was able to gain this honor, making many of the big shots in the film and television industry jealous, whispering to each other and asking what those kids' backgrounds were. Those who knew He Mu could only sigh that this kid was too favored by Xiao.

  As the protagonist of tonight, Xiao Lao Yezi smiled and said to Han Shen: "Our table has three generations of old, middle and young people, lively. Let me introduce you, this is my granddaughter, Xiao Mei's daughter, Ye Weiyang."

  Ye Weiyang nodded at the two middle-aged men, and Xiao Laozhang pointed to Xiao Xiang, "This is my granddaughter, Xiang Xiang, the Xiang of Xiang Jiang water, not the singer."

  Han and Shen both smiled, unexpectedly the old man even knew about online singers, indeed knowledgeable.

  He Mu Li was very nervous, the old man introduced his granddaughter and grandson, the ones at this table who couldn't be named were just the two of them, what if the old man didn't recognize them at all, that would be a loss of face all the way back to grandma's house.

  "I didn't expect Old Xiao to be able to accurately call out their names: 'The thin one is called He Mu, the fat kid is Li Wen Hua, both are friends of Xiao Fang's. Don't look down on these two young people, they've already started their own companies and are doing quite well, really impressive.'"

  As for Xiao Lao's evaluation, He Mu and Li Culture are a bit embarrassed, probably all conveyed by Xiao Fang.

  Director Shen looked at the two of them: "What business are you two young friends in?" From the old man's tone, it seemed like he wanted to ask for their help. As someone promoted by Xiao Lao, he naturally couldn't decline, and thinking back, the success of Xiao Fang's Hu Liang Ying Shi also had a lot to do with his influence.

  Li Wenlei replied: "A cultural company, mainly doing book planning and publishing work, a small business that is not worth mentioning."

  Director Shen smiled and said: "It's already very impressive." This seems not to be their line of work, Xiao Mei seems to be more helpful to them.

  Han Sanping stared at He Mu for a few moments, "I think I've seen you somewhere before."

  Xiao Fang explained: "Although Xiao Fang has his own company, he also wants to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, so he signed with my company. Recently, he's been filming a TV series, and if there's an opportunity, it would be great to appear in a movie too."

  Han Sanping and Shen Yancheng exchanged a glance, it turned out that they had been waiting for them all along. First, he revealed his identity as the founder of He Mu's company, so that they wouldn't look down on him and treat him like an ordinary small actor. Then, he expressed his desire to make movies, and not necessarily play a big role, which would be hard for them to refuse.

  With the current influence of Han and Shen in the entertainment industry, it can be said that whoever they want to make popular will become popular. Of course, there are also situations where some people just can't be helped. However, looking at He Mu's appearance, he indeed has the innate conditions to become a star. If his acting talent and hard work are sufficient, perhaps he will achieve something remarkable.

  Han Sanping was already thinking about how to repay Xiao Lao's favor, when he saw Yu Dong, the boss of Polybona, sitting at the next table with his round head.

  Everyone present first collectively toasted Mr. Xiao's 70th birthday with a glass, then came over to offer him wine in groups. Mr. Xiao replaced the wine with tea and only took a small sip, otherwise drinking too much tea wouldn't be good either.

  While toasting, they also got close to Xiao Gongzi. After all, Old Master Xiao had always been low-key, and now that he was hosting a grand banquet, it was clear that he wanted them to take care of his youngest son. They understood this logic, even though the old master was no longer around, but Director Shen was someone he had promoted himself, and Deputy Director Xiao was also incredibly capable, so they couldn't help but be careful in their treatment of him.

  Xiao Fang conveniently introduced He Wu to them, saying "This is the younger brother of one of my brothers, that is, my younger brother, who now makes a living in the entertainment circle." This also made He Wu start making a name for himself in high society before he was well-known among the general public. They all knew that He Wu, the fierce and formidable one, was treated as a brother by Xiao Fang.

  When Xiang Dong came over, Han Sanping stopped him and whispered a few words in his ear. After that, Xiao Fang gave He Mu a "something's up" look.

  He Mian was still in the clouds, not knowing what was going on, until he saw Xiao Fang's gaze and suddenly understood that Xiao Fang was helping him get the role. If it were usual times, Xiao Fang might not have had such a big face, but today, in front of Old Master Xiao, and with Old Master Xiao praising He Mian to the skies, they couldn't help but weigh their options carefully.

  Although this kind of success is not what He Mu wanted, he also knows that the entertainment industry is like this, and it's not just hard work and effort that can lead to success. Sometimes, connections play a crucial role. If it weren't for his relationship with Xiao Fang, He Mu might have had to struggle for several more years before getting in touch with someone of Han Sanping's caliber. However, now he has the opportunity to sit at the same table as him and share a meal and drinks. He may have taken some shortcuts, but that doesn't mean it's not glorious; he just has a slightly higher starting point than others. Ultimately, his achievements will depend on himself, after all, Xiao Lao Ye's 70th birthday celebration is only once in a lifetime, and Xiao Fang won't be able to help him forever.

  He Muyin took a deep breath: No matter what, seize today's opportunity, don't ask for overnight success, just prove yourself!
