Love Burns Out: Mr. Li Loves Me

"Ms. Gao, why is it so sudden? What was the reason for the termination?"

The producer's surname is Gao. She is a successful woman in her forties. It's quite sad to say that this Miss Gao was originally the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. Later, she met the wrong man. Not only did she lose her family, but she also had a mistress and illegitimate children outside.

But what is even more outrageous is that Ms. Gao only has an eight-year-old daughter. In order to fight for more family property, the Phoenix Man conspired with the mistress to snatch the custody of Ms. Gao's daughter. In order to get the custody of her daughter, Ms. Gao had to give up the property during the marriage.

Unexpectedly, the mistress was still unwilling to let go of Sister Gao and continued to occupy the custody of her daughter. Every time Sister Gao went to see her daughter, she had to look at the eyes of the Phoenix man and the mistress. But the most heartbreaking thing was that the stepmother was not kind to her daughter...

Ms. Gao's financial resources are not as good as those of the Phoenix Man, so she does not have an advantage in the lawsuit for custody.

So Ms. Gao risked everything and invested all her fortune in the "Floating Promise" project, hoping that with the big sales of the movie, she could make a steady profit and improve her dire financial situation, so that she would have a better chance of winning the battle for custody of her child.

But no one expected that the originally foolproof big production project would be suppressed so easily!

Seeing Sister Gao's gloomy and lonely look, Wen Rong felt uncomfortable too.

"Ms. Gao, please don't worry. Let's contact Mr. Nie Zhan first. He is also one of the investors of this project and will not watch the project terminate without reason."

"Xiao Wen, you don't know yet, right?" Sister Gao said, covering her face with her hands.

"Director Nie has gone abroad. Besides...even if he is in China, he is a foreign Chinese. In North City, even if he has connections, he can't use them. This is not his home ground, and he can't help."

This was indeed something Wen Rong had not expected. Nie Zhan did have some influence internationally, but in China, it was indeed not an omnipotent pass.

At this time, Sister Gao received a call from her ex-husband. Just a few minutes after the call was connected, she, who was always emotionally stable, shouted excitedly: "Forget about this idea! I will not give you the custody of Miaomiao! A person with low moral character like you is not worthy of being her father!"

After hanging up the phone, Sister Gao finally couldn't hold back her tears. Listening to her suppressed sobs, Wen Rong felt very uncomfortable.

Although she has never been a mother, girls are born with empathy and she couldn't bear it.

"Don't worry, Miss Gao, there will always be a way!"

Until dark, all the plans thought up by the project team leaders were rejected immediately as soon as they were submitted, at an incredibly fast speed.

Although in their industry, big trees attract wind, and your career is booming, it is natural that rival entertainment companies or rival artists will be jealous, but investors are not pushovers. Being targeted like this shows that the cake of some capital tycoons has been touched.

The next day, Wen Rong received a call from the investor, asking her to accompany Sister Gao and the main creative team to a banquet for the people above, at least to keep the project going.

Because many investors have signed a bet agreement, if they cannot make a profit, they will definitely lose everything they have, especially someone like Ms. Gao who has lost all her fortune.

The news that the film "The Promise of Life" was terminated also broke out on the Internet. Fans who had been waiting for Reuters and stills gradually became impatient, and some even quit being fans and turned against the film, saying that it was just a gimmick to trick fans...

Even if it is released later, I am afraid that its reputation will be affected.

Near the evening, Wen Rong received a call from Sister Gao: "Xiao Wen, don't miss the dinner tonight. The location is set there, at Platinum Mansion. Let me know when you get there!"

Wen Rong didn't dare to delay, changed into clothes suitable for meeting guests and went out!

There were red lights all the way while driving, but Wen Rong always had a feeling of panic in his heart.

When they arrived at Platinum Yue, Wen Rong was led out of the box by the waiter. Platinum Yue was also elegant and luxurious in North City. It seemed that the higher-ups attached great importance to this negotiation. This might mean that there was a greater chance that the project would be passed.

Sister Gao had arrived a long time ago, and when she saw Wen Rong, she was completely relieved.

After spending more than a month together, she had already figured out that Wen Rong was a kind-hearted and easy-going girl, who didn't have any ulterior motives. She could even be said to be very simple.

At first glance, you can tell that she is a girl who was brought up in a good family and is the kind that is very lovable.

"Xiao Wen, can you help me see what main dishes we should order? I heard that the one with the most profound background is very picky about food and doesn't usually eat out. Today, we begged him for a long time and made an appointment for a long time before he reluctantly agreed."

Wen Rong frowned slightly. She looked at the menu given by Sister Gao. At first glance, the signature dishes of high-end star-rated hotels are basically safe as long as you don’t have any special food taboos.

But Wen Rong still gave some pertinent suggestions: "Now that the weather is getting warmer, it's suitable to eat some nourishing and moisturizing dishes... Morel soup is good, and fried beef tendon is also good..."

But as she kept choosing, she felt something was wrong. The reason was that the things she had just chosen were all the things Li Zhengting liked to eat in the past.

When they first got married, Wen Rong asked Aunt Lan what Li Zhengting's favorite dishes were when he was a child, so that he could eat the food she cooked when he came home for dinner at night...

Even she, who had never done housework before, learned to be a good wife and mother and cooked for him. However, she remembered that Li Zhengting had never eaten a single bite of her cooking.

Ms. Gao handed the menu to the waiter and said, "Serve the dishes according to these. I estimate that they will be here soon. You can prepare to serve them now."

After the waiter left, Sister Gao talked to Wen Rong about work while no one else was around.

"Xiao Wen, do you have any more suitable candidates to recommend for our female lead?"

Wen Rong's expression paused slightly.

She remembered that the heroine role in the previous life was played by Yun Sheng. Although there were some differences in this life as an unknown new actor was chosen, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Those who graduate from professional schools are always better than some ugly children of capitalists.

"Ms. Gao, I don't know many people in this circle, but I can recommend someone to you. I guarantee you'll like her cleverness when you meet her!"

Wen Rong handed her the photo of Qi Ran on his phone.

The moment Sister Gao saw Qi Ran's photo, her eyes lit up, but the expectation in her eyes soon faded away.

To be honest, in terms of appearance, temperament and figure alone, there is basically no one in the entertainment industry who can compete with her, but her background is not glorious after all.

"Sister Gao, Qi Ran is my best friend. She is kind and courageous, a rare good girl. In some ways, she is very compatible with our heroine. Would you like to invite her over for an audition?"

Sister Gao pursed her lips and said, "Xiao Wen, you are such a nice person, why would you be friends with a socialite? This is not what a good child would do, it is better to stay away from her as soon as possible..."

At this point, Sister Gao leaned over and whispered, "You may not know, but I also heard from people in the circle that her financial sponsor is young and is preparing for a marriage. By then, her situation will be awkward, and naturally no one will protect her."

After hearing this, Wen Rong felt very uncomfortable and was very worried about her Ranran.

Seeing that she seemed troubled, Sister Gao tactfully stopped talking.

At this moment, a respectful and flattering voice suddenly came from outside the box -

"It's right here. Mr. Li, please come in. Our people have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Mr. Li...

Wen Rong woke up instantly!

Following a series of footsteps, the door of the box was opened from the outside. The man in the lead was wearing a straight three-piece suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, neat short hair combed back, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an arrogant expression that made him seem quite unapproachable. He stood by the door, his height almost touching the door frame.

Who else could it be but Li Zhengting?

But once he entered the box, his eyes softened unconsciously, and his every move showed the upbringing of a top gentleman.

Even though Sister Gao is old, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

This man's looks and figure are both top-notch, even much better than many top stars in the circle!

But that temperament is not something that ordinary stars can achieve.

Sister Gao stood up, and Wen Rong also stood up when she saw this. No matter how surprised she was, she couldn't just leave as she was at the dinner party.

The senior executive who followed in hurriedly introduced them: "Boss Li, this is Gao Shanshan, the producer of our film project, and the one next to her is Wen Rong, the new director of our film."

Gao Shanshan stepped forward and stretched out her hand to greet her. Li Zhengting shook her hand politely and distantly, then easily withdrew his hand.

Then, his eyes fell on Wen Rong...

Gao Shanshan thought to herself: Am I overthinking it? The way Mr. Li looked at Xiao Wen was completely different from when he looked at them.

But it is understandable. After all, Xiao Wen's looks are so attractive that any man would take a second look at her.

Wen Rong felt her scalp tingling under his gaze. She originally wanted to avoid him and face him head-on.

But the boss who introduced her obviously saw Li Zhengting's interest in Wen Rong, so he told her, "Hey... Xiao Wen! Why don't you meet Mr. Li quickly?"

When Wen Rong was in a dilemma, Li Zhengting took the initiative to move closer, so close that she could clearly smell the scent of sunken wood and tobacco on him.

Wen Rong's heart skipped a beat! Fearing that he would say something he shouldn't, she took the initiative to extend her hand.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

She looked up at the man, only to see that his eyebrows were slightly raised, with a subtle smile that only she could understand.

Li Zhengting calmly held her hand, his large, hot palm wrapped around her slightly cool fingertips.

"Hello, Miss Wen Rong."

For some reason, the word "Wen Rong" uttered by Li Zhengting sounded particularly ambiguous and tender, and even Gao Shanshan couldn't help but look at her.

Wen Rong didn't want to expose her relationship with Li Zhengting to others, nor did she want to continue living under his shadow after the divorce.

After saying hello, Wen Rong wanted to pull her hand back, but he secretly pinched her palm. A trace of disgust flashed in Wen Rong's eyes, and her whole arm felt like it was crawling by a poisonous snake. She pulled her hand back with force!

No one present expected her reaction to be so intense.

Only Secretary Liu, who came with Li Zhengting, knew best about all the disputes between Wen Rong and Mr. Li.

Secretary Liu's eyes were full of sympathy. She had never expected that after leaving Mr. Li's wife, she would fall to the point of having to accompany men drinking and socializing.

Such a drinking party may seem harmonious on the surface, and even takes place in a high-end hotel like Park Hyatt, but she has seen the dirty deeds involved.

However, when she was with Mr. Li, she was naturally not targeted. But now Wen Rong is different...

Gao Shanshan arranged for everyone to sit down, but by coincidence, in the end, there was only an empty seat next to Wen Rong. When Wen Rong saw Li Zhengting sitting next to her out of the corner of her eye, she became nervous unconsciously.

Although the seats were spaced quite wide apart, Wen Rong felt that Li Zhengting was too close to her.

The movie investor who organized the event was afraid that he would displease Li Zhengting, the living devil, so he quickly tried to smooth things over by saying, "Xiao Wen is a top student at North City University. What a coincidence! I heard that President Li is also from North City University. In this case, Xiao Wen and President Li are alumni, right?"

Wen Rong hadn't yet calmed down from the shock of seeing Li Zhengting, when she suddenly heard someone linking her to this man she had been avoiding. Alarm bells rang in her heart, and her body reacted faster than her brain to avoid suspicion:

"He and I are not alumni! My alma mater is North City University, and Mr. Li graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania..."

…………

Wen Rong finally realized what was going on and stopped talking...but it was too late.

At the dinner table, everyone looked at Wen Rong in different ways, as if they had glimpsed an unusual secret.

Wen Rong was parachuted into the big production project of "The Promise of Life" and became the director who took the lead. It is not unprecedented for such talents to appear before.

But who made Wen Rong so beautiful and attractive?

Beauty without the blessing of family background is destined to be the original sin that leads to a girl's downfall.

Moreover, Wen Rong is still so young. Even though she looks delicate and fragile, she is obviously a wealthy and beautiful girl who is well protected.

It's no wonder people think too much, speculating that she is the mistress of some capitalist, and the boss just created a project for her to play in order to amuse her and make her laugh...

Nowadays, even the people in power in the Li family look at her differently. It seems that what the ancients said is true... Even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman...

Wen Rong pretended to be calm and touched her hair. She was wearing a slim-fitting sweater and a high-waisted skirt today. It was an outfit that was extremely figure-testing and highlighted her feminine charm.

Her long brown hair was spread out behind her, with a few strands of hair lingering in front of her. Li Zhengting looked at her intently, and said softly, "Ms. Wen is very beautiful. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Wen Rong: ...

Secretary Liu: ...
