Chapter 217

The next morning, Lin Mo first went to visit Han San Ye.

Mainly to discuss matters concerning the Wolf Warrior Movie.

It was learned from San Ye.

This time, the Wolf Warrior Movie that Lin Mo shot greatly pleased the higher‑up leaders.

In short, both explicitly and implicitly it indicated that as long as his movies have no major violations, the censorship will be a green light all the way.

That, for Lin Mo, was of course a good thing.

After finishing the business talk, Lin Mo casually asked, "San Ye, tonight Jiang Dao and Feng Dao are putting together a gathering; are you going?"

Upon hearing that,

Han San Ye waved his hand and said, "I'm an old bone now, I don't like crowds; you go yourself!"

Indeed, older people seem to prefer tranquility.

This time in Yanjing, Lin Mo's schedule was packed to the brim.

A trip to Wu Jing's side was needed, and also a swing by Yu Qian's.

Now, Wu Jing is also considered a pillar of Morning Light Media.

A Wolf Warrior Movie directly turned the actor into a hot leading man.

Directors who wanted the actor for a role.

Not only domestic ones.

Even Dao Guo and Bangzi Country have them.

It must be said.

The Wolf Warrior Movie is also a huge hit across Asia!

So when Wu Jing heard Lin Mo was coming, he was already waiting at the residential gate early.

"Boss, you're here!" Wu Jing said with a smile.

Seeing his stance, Lin Mo was a bit stunned: "Are you waiting just for me?"

Wu Jing laughed and waved his hand: "How could I? I just came down for some fresh air and happened to run into you here!"

Lin Mo patted his shoulder: "Come to a gathering with me tonight; they're all people from the capital circle, you should get to know them better!"

"Alright!" Wu Jing answered in one breath.

Wu Jing, already in middle age,

now also understands a principle.

In the entertainment circle.

If you don't join a group, you'll really suffer!

If there's a chance for the person to return to younger days, the fortunes would definitely be much better.

When the person was young, they were head‑strong.

They spoke straight, didn't beat around the bush, and didn't team up with others…

Luckily they met the Boss!

Otherwise,

they might be ready to take on web dramas in another two years.

Previously, Wu Jing had already received many web‑drama scripts.

Looking at those plots and titles gave the person a headache.

Lin Mo had a meal at Wu Jing's house.

Then.

In the afternoon, the two went to Yu Qian's horse farm.

Usually when Yu Qian isn't performing, he stays at his own horse farm.

These horses are truly precious.

Before reaching the gate, Lin Mo and Wu Jing already saw Yu Qian from afar.

Next to him stood Yu Qian's senior disciple, Guo Laoshi's son Guo Qilin, whom they had met once at the Wolf Warrior Premiere.

"Director Lin!" Yu Qian, seeing Lin Mo, immediately pulled Guo Qilin over to greet him.

Guo Qilin also politely greeted, "Hello, Director Lin!"

"Yo, Da Linzi is here too, Qian Er Ge, what are you two performing? You and Jing Ge must have already coordinated, right?" Lin Mo teased.

Yu Qian glanced at Wu Jing, who let out a chuckle; the two locked eyes, their hearts as clear as mirrors.

Inside the farm, under Qian Er Ge's guidance, Lin Mo also got a couple of rides, which were indeed quite thrilling.

It must be said, Yu Qian's horse farm is quite interesting; a barbecue stall is set up, grilling skewers while chatting, with a bit of scenery nearby, very pleasant.

As they chatted, the conversation drifted from culture to food.

Good fellows.

When Qian Er Ge mentioned food, he instantly perked up.

The first sentence he opened with almost made Lin Mo laugh out loud.

"Lin Dao, speaking of cooking, I also have a homemade side dish. I bought a fresh block of tofu, cut it into Mahjong‑shaped cubes, put them in a small earthen pot with mountain spring water. The tofu, still in those Mahjong cubes, boils, bubbling up, and you have to quickly bring it to the table and eat it while hot, dipping it in soy sauce."

"After finishing, you take the hot broth from the pot and drink the remaining soy sauce with it; that's what we call 'original broth turning into original food'!"

Yu Qian said vividly.

It is now 2018, so Wu Jing, Da Linzi, and Yu Qian's wife Bai Huiming, Bai Jie.

They had no idea about Yu Qian's joke, yet they listened earnestly.

Wu Jing laughed and said, "Just hearing it is great; I'll try it later!"

Lin Mo also laughed and chimed in, "Right, there used to be a rhyme—after eating salty pickles and boiled tofu, not even the emperor or my old man can match me!"

Yu Qian, upon hearing, quickly nodded, "Exactly, exactly, Director Lin, you are definitely an expert when it comes to eating!"

He looked at everyone again, "Salty pickles and boiled tofu, that flavor is unbeatable!"

Evening came.

Lin Mo prepared to attend the banquet.

A group of old friends.

Besides him, there were Wu Jing and Yu Qian as well.

As for Wu Jing, as mentioned earlier, we should have him hang out more with the capital crowd.

After all, Wu Jing is now an artist of Morning Light.

As for Yu Qian, he's long acquainted with this group.

Though not from the same circle.

But they're all old Yanjing folks.

People like Uncle Ma, Director Feng, Jiang Wen Laoge, Chen Daoming and the others have all been to Yu Qian's horse arena for fun.

Speaking of network connections.

Yu Qian's connections are also extensive.

This is a relatively famous private restaurant in Yanjing.

Yu Qian also told Lin Mo about the history of this place.

Such as how many years it has been open and which celebrities have dined here.

They arrived at the private room.

Everyone was present except Lin Mo.

As soon as they entered the room,

everyone greeted Lin Mo one after another.

"Director Lin!"

"Director Lin, you came to Yanjing without a sound; if Director Lin hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known!"

"Exactly—if we were to know, we all went with Director Jiang to the airport to pick you up!"

"......"

Watching these older brothers tease him one line after another, Lin Mo smiled and replied, "It's just that I thought the older brothers were all busy, so I didn't dare to disturb."

Then the group started greeting Yu Qian, calling him repeatedly "Qian Er Ge."

Yanjing people, when they meet, either call each other "ye" or "ge."

Yu Qian handled it smoothly, alternating between "Ge Daye" and "Chen Laoshi."

Only Wu Jing.

Attending this kind of gathering, he felt somewhat uneasy.

After all, everyone present are big figures in the circle.

Previously.

I couldn't even get close to them at all before.

Lin Mo noticed Wu Jing's nervousness and quickly introduced, "This is Wu Jing, the male lead of my Wolf Warrior Movie; how about it, does my brother Jing's performance in the film have that Huaguo Military vibe!"

As soon as that was said, Jiang Wen was the first to speak: "Well, of course, we've all seen Little Wu's film; back then he was the fresh meat that swept the nation! If Little Wu were around now, there wouldn't be that whole online fresh‑meat star business!"

Chen Daoming also nodded: "Indeed, it's great, really has that Huaguo Military vibe. We all know Little Wu's acting and character; back in 2008, Little Wu spent over three months in Wenchuan, busy before and after!"

Everyone present knows Wu Jing quite well, after all he was popular years ago.

"Chen Laoshi, you might not know this, but before Wu Jing filmed a military TV series, he personally trained with the Special Military District for a whole year!"

"Oh, is that so?"

"Ge Laoshi, tell us the details!"

"......"

The Wu Jing beside them, hearing these big shots talk about his affairs, felt a bit embarrassed.

At the same time, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Boss, this network is really impressive!"

Before coming, his wife had told him to learn to read the room.
