I want to take you wandering.

Chapter 194 Ouyang Chen, the Ultimate Opportunist, Impressive, Right?

Outside the luxury hotel, paparazzi were already waiting as per Fan Zhijie's instructions.

Fan Zhijie had also received news from Ou Yunchen that he had a mission to complete today.

That was to take photos of actress Zhou Man entering and leaving a hotel with Ou Yunchen, and then spread gossip online.

However, Fan Zhijie was clever. How could he dare to take photos that were too clear? That wouldn't pique the netizens' curiosity.

Paparazzi photos were all blurry, so he ordered his subordinates to only take pictures of Zhou Man clearly enough to be recognizable. As for Ou Yunchen, they should try not to let him be identified!

This was how a qualified dog behaves; protecting the boss at all costs was paramount!

Zhou Man walked beside Ou Yunchen. She had removed her heavy makeup, and with light makeup, Zhou Man appeared even more gentle and lovely.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Ou Yunchen very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Zhou Man.

Zhou Man: "Mr. Ou, have you read the script?"

Ou Yunchen: "Yes."

Zhou Man: "Do you think it's good?"

Ou Yunchen: "Are you confident about winning a Golden Horse Award?"

Zhou Man: "No..."

Ou Yunchen chuckled.

He wasn't confident either.

But he had a trump card.

Ou Yunchen: "Do your best, and leave the rest to me."

Zhou Man smiled sweetly. She knew that Mr. Ou was unfathomable.

Yet, she felt very comfortable by Ou Yunchen's side. His shining qualities were no less than Yan Shizong's. In fact, his brilliance was not overbearing. Even admiration came from the bottom of her heart, genuinely liking him.

Ou Yunchen: "I asked you out today for another reason."

Zhou Man leaned forward slightly. She was very interested in everything Ou Yunchen said, and it was clear she trusted him implicitly.

Ou Yunchen: "Xi Ou Entertainment will soon be independent from ATL. In the future, Xi Ou will have no ties with ATL. Therefore, I will reconsider Xi Ou's equity."

Zhou Man: "Will you still be in charge?"

Ou Yunchen: "It could be me, or it might not be me in the future."

Zhou Man: "Will there be a new boss?"

Ou Yunchen: "I hope you and Liu Jinhua will invest."

Zhou Man was somewhat surprised. This meant she could become a shareholder of Xi Ou, and also one of the controllers. This had always been a dream opportunity for her!

An entertainment company of her own – this was the best reward she could never get from Yan Shizong!

Zhou Man: "Mr. Ou, I'd like to know why you want me and Sister Jinhua to join?"

Ou Yunchen: "Liu Jinhua is the best agent. Her connections can break through all obstacles in this circle."

"And you, you are the most valuable actress. Whether I use you for filming or endorsements, you will bring substantial returns to Xi Ou."

"If I want to retain talent, how can I expect them to continue working for me if I don't offer something that others cannot?"

Zhou Man: "Thank you, Mr. Ou. I will always remember your trust in me."

Ou Yunchen: "It should be me thanking you. You are very talented. It is my honor, Ou Yunchen's honor, to have you join Xi Ou."

Zhou Man immediately raised her wine glass.

Zhou Man: "Mr. Ou, you truly flatter me. It should be my honor."

Ou Yunchen and Zhou Man clinked glasses. The crisp sound of their wine glasses colliding did not bring Zhou Man back to her senses.

How could she know that this was all Ou Yunchen's trap? Ou Yunchen stepping back now was to avoid suspicion. He was protecting himself.

Because soon, someone would target Xi Ou, and that someone was the person who was about to be threatened...

Yan Shizong leaned over the table, looking down at Ou Yunchen, who was still gracefully cutting his steak. He was also infuriated.

He couldn't explain why, but whenever he saw Ou Yunchen with Zhou Man, he felt a surge of rage, perhaps because he still had feelings for that woman he had been with.

Ou Yunchen: "Hmm? Mr. Yan, what a coincidence, you're here for dinner too? Waiter, add cutlery."

Yan Shizong: "What trick are you playing?"

Ou Yunchen: "Who doesn't like dining with a beautiful woman? You do too, don't you, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Shizong: "You only deserve to play with my leftovers – trash."

Ou Yunchen smiled. He suddenly stood up. The height difference forced Yan Shizong to look up slightly, but he quickly moved away.

Ou Yunchen snorted coldly, draped his suit jacket over Zhou Man's shoulders, and even carefully wiped the red wine splatter from her neck.

Ou Yunchen: "Waiter, Mr. Yan will pay the bill."

Ou Yunchen put his arm around Zhou Man's shoulders. He smiled so gently that even the women watching would fall in love with his signature smile.

Luo Yu had spilled wine on Zhou Man's clothes. Having Yan Shizong pay for this meal as compensation for the clothes seemed reasonable.

Waiter: "Mr. Yan, the total is thirteen thousand five hundred and eight."

Yan Shizong: "How much?"

Waiter: "Thirteen thousand five hundred and eight, including a twenty percent service charge."

Yan Shizong stared at the bill in shock. How could just two people eat for over ten thousand?

Waiter: "Yes, the gentleman who left earlier ordered another bottle of vintage red wine, worth one hundred and eight thousand."

Yan Shizong quickly signed the bill.

Yan Shizong: "Where's the red wine?"

Waiter: "He took it with him."

Sensing Yan Shizong's burning anger, the waiter quickly collected the bill, bowed, and said in a rapid voice, "Thank you for your patronage," before slipping away.
