Chapter 286: Another Zhao Zhong

"If you had cooperated earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer this physical pain," Chen Yu said speechlessly. "You insisted on being stubborn, so you really can't blame anyone else."

"Big Brother, you didn't give me a chance to speak either," the man said, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"Aren't I giving you a chance now?" Chen Yu asked. "Cut the crap, who is your boss?"

"I was sent by Xuanhuang Entertainment," the man said cautiously.

"Xuanhuang Entertainment? So your boss is Zhao Zhong?" Xia Tian was suddenly furious. "That bastard's reach is really long; seeing me start an entertainment company and become successful, he comes to start one too."

"How much did he pay you?" Chen Yu asked.

"Ten, one hundred thousand," the man stammered. "There's one million after the job is done."

"For one million, you dare to come and kill?" Chen Yu sneered. "Go back and tell Zhao Zhong to be careful lately, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

With a tilt of his right hand, half a bottle of strong acid was poured into the man's crotch. With a hiss, white smoke rose; the man screamed, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

"That bastard Zhao Zhong, he copies whatever makes money, plays at acquisitions if he can't make it work, and tries every possible way to sabotage you if he can't acquire you," Xia Tian said angrily. "He's just a troublemaker."

"We have to give this kid a warning," Chen Yu sneered. "He has already reached his hand into my Tianyun Pharmaceutical."

"There's such a thing?" Xia Tian was stunned, then sneered, "Then let's play with him. Fengling isn't for his Zhao Family to decide."

Finally, Lu Ruxue's concert ended amidst applause. When she found Chen Yu, she had already changed her clothes.

"Chen Yu, do you have time? I'll treat you to a meal. You've helped me several times," Lu Ruxue said with a smile.

"This, that might not be appropriate," Chen Yu said with a bitter smile. Lu Ruxue was a public figure; although her personality was generous, it would ultimately be somewhat inappropriate if seen by others.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it, just consider it as thanking you. President Xia, it's no problem to ask you for a leave of absence, right?" Lu Ruxue giggled.

"No problem. Chen Yu, Miss Lu is inviting you; you have to give her this face," Xia Tian laughed loudly. "You must have a lot of face; usually, it's hard for me to even invite Miss Lu to a meal."

"Alright then, thank you," Chen Yu stopped being coy.

Lu Ruxue put on a mask, and a pair of large sunglasses covered almost half of her face. Only after confirming there was no one around did she quietly leave with Chen Yu.

"Are you stars always this careful when you go out?" Chen Yu asked.

"You don't know how annoying those paparazzi are," Lu Ruxue sighed. "If someone takes a picture of me with you, it will definitely dominate the headlines of all the major gossip columns the next day. I can't help but be careful."

"It's really hard work," Chen Yu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. It really isn't easy being such a big star.

Jingrui Western Restaurant—the privacy here is quite good, as it is all private rooms, and the restaurant also pays attention to protecting customers' privacy, so it was perfect for a public figure like Lu Ruxue to come to such a place.

"What would you like to eat?" Lu Ruxue asked.

"It's my first time here, you decide," Chen Yu said.

"Alright, then I'll make the decision for you," Lu Ruxue smiled slightly and ordered for Chen Yu.

The food here was indeed good. The two were eating and chatting when suddenly the door opened and a young man walked over.

"Who are you people? You must have gone to the wrong room," Chen Yu looked back and didn't recognize this guy.

"Haha, Lu Ruxue, it really is you. The manager of the shop told me just now that a big star came to eat, and I didn't believe it," the young man couldn't help but laugh loudly when he saw Lu Ruxue.

"Who are you?" Lu Ruxue was startled. "You've mistaken me for someone else."

"Mistaken? I had the manager here check the information on the VIP card you used; it's definitely yours. Haha, I've met many small stars before, but this is my first time seeing one as big-name as you."

"Miss Lu, give me some face and have a meal together," the young man chuckled. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Yu Zhong."

"Can you just leak customer information here?" Chen Yu's face suddenly sank, and he asked the manager behind Yu Zhong.

The reason Lu Ruxue liked this place was precisely because it could protect customer information well, but listening to the meaning of Yu Zhong's words, he had checked Lu Ruxue's information directly through the manager.

"According to the regulations, of course not, but this restaurant was invested in by Young Master Yu. He holds forty percent of the shares and is our major shareholder, so he has this authority," that manager said with a fake smile.

"Haha, these are not important. What's important is that I admire Miss Lu very much. Give me some face," Yu Zhong laughed loudly.

"Sorry, I don't have time today," Lu Ruxue stood up and said. "Also, I will file a complaint about your restaurant leaking customer information at will."

"Complaint? You can complain as much as you want. Young Master Yu is the major shareholder; even if you complain, you can only complain to him, haha," the manager didn't care at all.

"Besides, you are a public figure. If the fact that you are eating with this stranger is leaked, it will have an impact on you, right? Are you really not afraid at all?"

"You..." Lu Ruxue was so angry her face turned pale, but she had no way to deal with it.

"Miss Lu, are you going to give me this face or not? If you don't give me this face, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue performing in Fengling in the future."

Yu Zhong walked to Lu Ruxue's side and said with great interest, "Consider it, give me some face. I am from the Yu Clan; as long as you nod, I guarantee you will be even more popular than you are now."

"Sorry, it's not convenient," Lu Ruxue shook her head.

In fact, she had seen many such wealthy young masters; they were all the type who talked big, promising everything beforehand, only to kick you away after playing with you. A younger sister of hers had been deceived like this before.

"Miss Lu, you are not giving me much face," the smile on Yu Zhong's face gradually disappeared. He walked to the dining table. "Are you really stupid, or just unappreciative?"

"Young Master Yu, I am just an artist, but I also have the right to refuse. I am currently eating with a friend, and I don't want to be disturbed," Lu Ruxue said with a furrowed brow.

"Hehe, an artist? Miss Lu, in my eyes, you are just a bitch who sells herself. Tell me, how much for one night? Hmm, someone of your level should be a bit more expensive, right? I'll offer fifty million, is that enough?" Yu Zhong sneered.

"Shut up." Lu Ruxue was so angry her pretty face turned pale. She suddenly grabbed a glass of wine and splashed it fiercely onto Yu Zhong's face. "Chen Yu, let's go, let's eat somewhere else."

"Bitch, you don't know what's good for you, do you? Want to leave? I'm afraid it won't be that easy." Yu Zhong was annoyed and angry. He shouted, "Where the hell did everyone go?"

As soon as his voice fell, several bodyguards rushed in from outside, blocking Lu Ruxue inside the room. The restaurant manager on the side hurriedly took out a towel and handed it over.

Yu Zhong wiped the wine off his face and said with a ferocious look, "I haven't slept with a star of your level yet; you must be incomparable to those bottom-tier ones."

"Hehe, today I will take you, and see what's different about a movie queen of your level compared to ordinary ones."
