Five big shots kneel in front of me and call me mom

Chapter 77

Upon hearing about the food, Gu Yuan's interest was piqued: "Is it the chef Nie Yu invited?"

Nie Nanqing noticed a glimmer in Gu Yuan's eyes and couldn't help but smile, thinking that she was indeed a young girl: "No, it's not (Chef from the Ji Qisen Party)."

Gu Yuan felt a bit disappointed but still smiled and said: "Well, I'll go taste it."

Nie Nanqing said: "It's the mentor of the chef Nie Yu invited."

Gu Yuan asked: "Oh?"

Nie Nanqing laughed: "Miss Gu if you want to watch the fashion show later, you can have the assistant take you to the special VIP room in the front. However, the auction won't start for a while, so you should rest for now. Tonight will be a late one."

Gu Yuan nodded, "Alright."

Meanwhile, Nie Nanqing watched as the assistant escorted Gu Yuan back and then turned his gaze slowly toward Lu Zhiqian.

His previously somewhat tender gaze when looking at Lu Zhiqian had turned cold.

Although Lu Zhiqian was a popular movie star, he was also an artist under the Hézòngtiānxià organization, and he was subject to Nie Nanqing's authority.

In other words, with just one word from Nie Nanqing, he could be consigned to an irredeemable abyss.

No matter how famous or skilled he was, without the opportunity to appear, he would gradually be forgotten.

Furthermore, he was getting older, already 45 years old. Maintaining his current level of fame was already quite challenging, and if he didn't progress, the younger rising stars could easily surpass him.

Lu Zhiqian forced a smile and said, "Nie President, it's nothing. I was just joking with Miss Gu. I didn't know that Miss Gu..."

How should he continue now?

Who would have thought that Gu Yuan would be involved with Nie Nanqing, who was in his forties? She had a broad range of interests. Does she have no shame?

However, this superficial response couldn't escape Nie Nanqing's notice.

Nie Nanqing examined Lu Zhiqian with a sharp gaze and spoke calmly: "Mr. Lu, you've achieved remarkable success under Hézòngtiānxià over the years, and I've always held you in high regard. If you focus on your acting, the company will do its best to provide you with suitable resources. However, as an artist, you should stick to your role and not get involved in any improper activities. We've known each other for so many years, and you should be aware that I, Nie, detest any misuse of power for personal gain."

He spoke with a sense of justice and conviction.

Lu Zhiqian stared stiffly at Nie Nanqing, with one thought running through his mind: Aren't you the one protecting your little lover by abusing your authority?

But he couldn't say that. Nie Nanqing could reprimand him, but he couldn't reprimand Nie Nanqing. This was the difference in power, money, and status.

Lu Zhiqian felt a dull pain in his chest. What did it matter that he was a movie star with millions of fans or that he had won numerous awards and accolades? In the end, he still had to bow his head in front of Nie Nanqing and say with a forced smile, "Yes, President Nie is right."

Nie Nanqing continued to speak for a while, but eventually, he let Lu Zhiqian go as it was time for his fashion show preparation.

Lu Zhiqian left feeling sad and increasingly frustrated. He couldn't help but think about Gu Yuan and the words she had said in the past. She had talked about how even if they didn't have connections, they could make a name for themselves through hard work. But now, she seemed to be involved with Luo Juntian and Nie Nanqing. It felt like she was trying to have it all, both the old and the young!
