Ch 158: Cao, You Wretch, How Dare You Deceive Me?!

Little Steel Cannon’s unrestrained talk at the dinner table was quickly spread by his tablemates.

It was directly posted by a paparazzi on Weibo.

It immediately caused an uproar.

The Cao-Feng battle ended a long time ago.

Is this another battle starting?

No way.

Little Steel Cannon doesn’t have any movies recently.

Young Master Cao doesn’t have any special projects either.

The entertainment industry is now in a state of “everyone is an enemy,” and those who want to launch activities are subconsciously pausing promotion and publicity.

They are afraid of being drained of all traffic by the two big shots’ flame war.

……

The next morning.

Little Steel Cannon woke up, and his wife, Old Xu, told him that he was in the news again.

After taking a look, he realized he had caused trouble while drunk!

But who is Little Steel Cannon? He is no longer the small fry he once was.

He is the first domestic director to achieve one billion box office.

Does he not care about face?

Even if he fired the first shot, he cannot lose face, and he cannot apologize.

Privately, he can.

Publicly, no!

Little Steel Cannon lit a cigarette…

His thoughts changed, and he thought a lot.

To be honest, he didn’t want to offend capital.

Young Master Cao is different now than before.

Even though he is from the Beijing Circle, in terms of status and identity, he is not afraid of anyone, especially not those from Zhonghai.

But…

This kid is tough.

His insults are harsh.

Although he isn’t very smart, he can more or less feel that he seems to have been exploited.

So, if he really gets entangled with this kid and becomes free publicity material for him…

Damn it!

“Forget it.”

“I’ll release a statement denying it. If that kid keeps pestering me, I won’t even bother. The matter will soon pass.”

……

Little Steel Cannon thought well, but unfortunately, he was one step too late.

Young Master Cao happened to be going to CCTV.

Many celebrities are currently rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala at CCTV. Young Master Cao also has artists participating, so he came to take a look, check in, and prevent his artists from being bullied.

At CCTV, seniority matters. Without some background, it’s easy to be controlled.

He also wanted to talk to the leader about something!

As soon as he got out of the car, he was blocked by reporters.

Other stars were wearing masks and hats, but Young Master Cao, upright and handsome, was shining.

It was hard not to attract attention.

After getting out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters.

“Mr. Cao, what are your thoughts on the 66.66 million exorbitant advertising fee?”

This matter has spread widely, attracting attacks from many who hate the rich.

But CCTV has not responded.

Reporters couldn’t find Young Master Cao himself.

Since they rarely encountered him today, they naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Cao Cheng smiled slightly at the reporters: “What thoughts? I have no thoughts. I spent the money, what thoughts could I have? I just feel it’s worth the money. CCTV’s advertising fees are really cheap. I’ll buy more next year!”

“…”

This flattery is amazing, Young Master Cao.

This leaves everyone speechless.

Another entertainment reporter shouted, “Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao, Feng Pants said that you made money through luck and don’t know how to spend it. What do you think?”

Cao Cheng was stunned: “What did Feng Pants say?”

“He said you made money through luck.”

Cao Cheng chuckled: “And then?”

“He also said you don’t know how to spend money.”

Cao Cheng laughed: “I really don’t spend as much as he does. He spent all his meager earnings on fixing his teeth, and they’re still not fixed. Tsk tsk…”

Pfft~

A burst of laughter erupted around them.

Cao Cheng said, “Everyone, please help pass a message to Little Cannon: find a better dentist, buy a pair of tighter pants, and don’t let your belt be so loose. Be careful not to get sick.”

Whoa——

A burst of excited shouts.

This…

This is big news.

Doesn’t this mean Feng Pants is messing around?

Everyone was very excited.

Then they asked many more questions, including about the copyright fees for Good Voice season two.

Cao Cheng was also polite and didn’t rush to leave. He was blocked at the entrance and interviewed for more than ten minutes.

Cao Cheng selected some questions and finally answered a question about Miracle Cosmetics.

“Regarding the internet slang 666, I use it myself. I think it’s very direct, straightforward, and easy to use. For example, Little Steel Cannon is very good at using it.”

“It’s not his fault that he’s ugly, but it’s wrong of him to scare people!”

“…”

A group of reporters got excited and started writing furiously.

Another golden sentence!

Young Master Cao smiled: “As for Miracle Cosmetics.”

“It’s indeed my company.”

“But it’s not as rumored. It’s not a newly established company; its predecessor is Ren’s Hall.”

“It may not be famous, after all, it’s not a nationwide enterprise.”

“But… have you heard of Youyi Snow Cream, everyone?”

“In old Shanghai, besides well-known cigarettes like Hardeman and Lao Daopai, there were various snow creams.”

“Youyi Snow Cream was established in 1912. After the new nation was founded, it was acquired by Ren’s Hall.”

“Ren’s Hall Youyi Snow Cream is also a memory for many people from the 1970s and 1980s.”

“So,”

“Ren’s Hall will have a century-long history in two years.”

“My goal is clear: to create a leading domestic cosmetics and skincare brand, to revitalize this old brand and compete with international brands.”

“Of course, I can give you a sneak peek here.”

“Our Miracle Cosmetics’ formula is the newest, most cutting-edge, high-tech skincare product with no side effects.”

“Welcome all institutions to test it.”

“The price may be a little higher, but it’s definitely worth the money.”

“And there are several grades, covering everything from high-end to affordable, guaranteeing that everyone can afford it and use it comfortably.”

“If there’s a lie, rotten teeth!”

“Welcome everyone to supervise.”

“…”

“…”

After listening, everyone was speechless.

Wow.

Is he advertising?

Not only is he advertising, but he’s also indirectly dissing Little Steel Cannon?

That’s our Young Master Cao.

He really dares to say anything.

However,

Considering that Young Master Cao answered so many questions, some entertainment reporters didn’t mind helping him advertise.

It’s a matter of mutual assistance.

Compared to many celebrities and well-known figures, Young Master Cao is one of the easiest to get in touch with.

As long as you catch him, he always says something sensational.

Aren’t we all here in this cold weather waiting for some sensational news?

To put it bluntly, Young Master Cao is feeding them.

……

Bang——

Little Steel Cannon smashed his bowl.

This is too much.

It’s really too much.

You, how dare you bully me like this?

He did spend a lot of money on his teeth, but it wasn’t mainly a tooth problem, but an overall problem, like vitiligo.

So that’s not the problem.

But this kid actually spread rumors, saying his pants are loose?

Although that’s also true.

After all, he’s a director.

He’s a producer.

He’s a big shot.

Having several mistresses, is that reasonable?

Including Little Steel Cannon himself who said before that he likes the new and dislikes the old, and he doesn’t shy away from that.

Therefore,

Cao Cheng wasn’t wrong, but the fact that he didn’t reveal it is slander.

Sue him!

Sue him!

Little Cannon also has a temper. He’s a one-billion-dollar director who made a movie about the Great Earthquake this year…

Now he’s being insulted by a young man, who also says he’s ugly, and that he can’t stand.

Even if he fired the first shot, it’s not okay.

Sue him!

Sue him for defaming his private life. The amount of money doesn’t matter; he at least needs to make that kid suffer.

……

Cao Cheng entered CCTV.

He chatted with the leaders about some issues, mainly cooperation and advertising.

Then he went backstage for the rehearsal.

He supported his artists and met many celebrities in the industry.

As the CEO of an entertainment company, cinema chains, and a top music program, Cao Cheng, although young, is treated respectfully by many artists.

He also met Little Tigers.

Is this the year of their reunion?

Young Master Cao realized this but wasn’t very excited. He shook hands with everyone.

He also met Pang Ling. In those days, she wasn’t fat yet, and her two dimples were very distinctive.

She was just an ordinary person, at most pretty.

She didn’t have the same unique qualities as when she was fat.

But…

Young Master Cao knew that Pang Ling would become a hundreds-of-billions-dollar director and actress in the future.

Who would have thought!

She became a small-capital investor after two movies.

Let alone the investment value, but there should also be negative emotions.

……

He saw Pang Ling and her partner backstage, looking worried while looking at the script.

The live show hasn’t even started, and the rehearsal is like this?

Their mental fortitude isn’t good.

“Are you very nervous?”

“Uh…”

The two smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

After all, they weren’t very familiar with him.

Cao Cheng smiled, “I’ve seen some of your previous programs, and I recognize your faces, but I haven’t paid attention to your names. Sorry!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, my name is, my name is Jia Ling!”

“My name is Bai Kainan~~”

“Oh oh!!”

Cao Cheng nodded knowingly: “I remember now, nice to meet you.”

They shook hands, and Cao Cheng smiled, “Don’t be so nervous. It’s the Spring Festival Gala; it’s supposed to be lively and fun, not a professional competition. I remember you were the first place in a professional competition before?”

“Yes!” Pang Ling nodded and smiled sheepishly.

“That’s great. Have you signed with an agency?”

“Ah? Me?” Pang Ling didn’t expect this sudden invitation.

She’s a crosstalk performer; why would she sign with a talent agency?

A few years ago, she did act in a trash script, as the eighteenth female lead.

In short, she was an extra.

Miracle Media is at its peak; why would they invite her?

“Well, I, I’m independent; I don’t have a talent agency,” Pang Ling replied.

Cao Cheng nodded and looked her up and down.

Then he shook his head: “Your figure…”

Pang Ling said awkwardly: “That, I am a little bit chubby, hehehe.”

Compared to her later self, she was very thin now.

However,

Compared to ordinary female artists, she was much fatter.

So she misunderstood Young Master Cao’s meaning.

Cao Cheng smiled and shook his head, “I mean, you’re too thin.”

“Ah?” Pang Ling was stunned.

“She’s still thin?” Bai Kainan was also stunned.

Cao Cheng smiled, “Sometimes people’s fates are very wonderful. Some female artists are better off the thinner they are, but some… the fatter the better, like Fei Jie from Hong Kong.”

“I feel… of course, it’s just my personal feeling, not exactly a suggestion, I just think if you were a little fatter, you might become more popular.”

“Ah?” Pang Ling was numb.

There’s no such thing.

I feel like he’s deliberately satirizing me.

But considering his identity, it’s unlikely that he would satirize a small crosstalk performer for no reason.

Cao Cheng took out his phone, “Let’s exchange numbers. If you get a little fatter later, you can find me. Of course, you can also work independently; let’s just make friends.”

Pang Ling hurriedly took out her phone.

After Young Master Cao left.

Pang Ling looked at her partner: “What, was I disliked?”

Bai Kainan shook his head: “I think you’re lucky; eat more in the future.”

“No way, if I get any fatter, I won’t look human anymore.”

“Maybe not, I think you’re round and cute.”

“Screw you.”

This little episode didn’t cause any ripples.

But just like a butterfly flapping its wings, it will create a miracle worth hundreds of billions in the future.

Even if she is badly criticized.

But it cannot be denied that… it’s worth it.
