Chapter 546 Call me "Brother" and I'll let you go
Young Master Huang didn't think much of Wang Xue'e, but he was immediately smitten with Li Yuzi.
If this guy sets his sights on a celebrity, he'll basically try every means to get his hands on them.
Suddenly encountering a superstar you've admired for so long fills you with the same excitement as a mosquito seeing blood or a cat seeing a fish.
He reached out and took Li Yuzi's hand: "I am Huang Zusheng from Beijing. Come, come, let me introduce you to some friends!"
He then called out to his group of cronies, "Look at her, Li Yuzi! I've wanted to meet her for ages!"
Several young men reached out to shake hands with Li Yuzi.
Li Yuzi looked at the fat young master's hand, which was still covered in blood, after he had just finished urinating, and quickly hid behind him in fright.
But Huang Zusheng grabbed him, saying, "Don't hide! We're all good buddies. Any one of these guys can take care of you!"
He was all smiles and didn't take Li Yuzi seriously at all.
Wang Xue'e, standing to the side, revealed a jealous look in her eyes.
Why does nobody like me this much?
Li Yuzi felt insulted and tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't.
Just then, Cao Erdan spoke:
"Let her go, and get away from her!"
These words weren't spoken loudly, but they sounded like a thunderclap in Huang Zusheng's ears.
He immediately flew into a rage and glared at the person who had spoken.
"Who the hell dares to talk to me like that?"
When their eyes met, he couldn't help but shiver.
What a sharp look in the eyes of that knife-wielding man.
Without realizing it, the boy took two steps back and released Li Yuzi.
However, it soon became clear that Cao Erdan was just a man.
He immediately became arrogant again, took two steps forward, and pointed his finger at Cao Erdan's chest:
"Kid, who gave you the courage? Do you know who I am to talk to me like that?"
A sycophantic young man came over to chime in:
"Kid, this is Councilor Wong's grandson from the Eastern District. He can throw you in jail with just a word, believe it or not?"
Another young master came along, puffing out his chest and flat-chested, and said:
"Kid, ever heard of the Four Young Masters of the Capital? Our Young Master Huang is one of them! With the Huang family's power, killing you is as easy as crushing a bug!"
Cao Erdan really didn't want to take these good-for-nothing rich kids seriously; he felt it was pointless.
If someone has some skill, there's a sense of accomplishment in fighting them. But someone like this, who could kill two with one kick, is boring!
He said coldly, "No matter whose grandson you are, don't mess with me, or even eight of your grandfathers couldn't protect you!"
After saying that, he reached out and pulled Li Yuzi, saying, "Let's go, don't pay any attention to them!"
Huang Zusheng was furious upon hearing this.
"Kid, you've got some nerve!" He stepped forward, blocking her way. "You think you can just walk away like that? Who do you think you are, daring to compete with me for a woman!"
At this moment, Wang Xue'e, who was covered in dust and dirt, said, "He's just a village doctor from a village in Yangcheng!"
Huang Zusheng turned to look at Wang Xue'e: "You know him?"
"We used to be from the same village!"
Are all the people in your village this despicable?
Upon hearing that he was from the countryside, Huang Zusheng became even more arrogant.
His finger was pointed at Cao Erdan's chest again: "Kid, kneel down, crawl between my legs, and call me grandpa for mercy, and I won't hit you today. Otherwise, I'll break both your legs today!"
Wang Xue'e felt as if she had exposed Cao Erdan and done a good deed in front of Young Master Huang. She stood next to Huang Zusheng and pointed fingers at Cao Erdan:
"Erdan, why aren't you kneeling down to Young Master Huang right now? I'll plead for you. Do you think this is Lotus Pond Village? You still dare to act so arrogantly!"
Cao Erdan looked at her coldly, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.
No wonder this woman abandoned me to go find Bi Hu, and no wonder she married my older brother for the dowry.
She's a despicable person at heart!
Now, she believes that by trying to please Huang Zusheng, she can regain her self-respect in front of him.
"Wang Xue'e, from now on, whether in public or in private, never say that I know you. It's too embarrassing!"
"Oh dear, you think I'm embarrassing you? If you dare say another word about me, believe me, Young Master Huang will have someone kill you!"
At this moment, Huang Zusheng's cronies behind him had already started rolling up their sleeves, ready to take action.
"Oh dear, what's wrong? What happened?"
A middle-aged wealthy businessman came down the stairs from the second floor.
I almost tumbled down the stairs in my haste.
He came over and stood between Cao Erdan and Huang Zusheng.
If he had arrived any later, Cao Erdan would have already tried to break Huang Zusheng's finger that was poking him.
This man was Chang Youchang, who invited Cao Erdan to dinner.
First, Chang Youchang bowed to Cao Erdan and apologized:
"Mr. Cao, I got a phone call and was a little late. Otherwise, I should have met you at the door. Please forgive me!"
He repeatedly clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Then he turned around and greeted Huang Zusheng: "Young Master Huang, I'm sorry, this is my guest. If you have any complaints, come at me, don't mess with Master Cao!"
Huang Zusheng knew Chang Youchang, a bigwig in the Hong Kong and mainland entertainment industry.
He introduced me to quite a few female celebrities.
We used to drink and play cards together, so I know that Chang Youchang is quite capable.
So when Chang Youchang said that, the atmosphere at the scene instantly froze.
All eyes turned to Cao Erdan.
Huang Zusheng frowned, thinking to himself:
"Who is this kid? How come Chang Youchang is so eager to speak up for him?"
Chang Youchang, a bigwig in the entertainment industry, has extensive connections, and many big names in the industry have received his support.
Especially when dealing with those rich young men with powerful connections, he always has a way to get his artists to come at his beck and call, even if it means kidnapping them, just to win a smile from these powerful young men.
Fortunately, Lai Yuk-chi only signed a contract with him for this one film, making her no less than any of his other artists.
Otherwise, given her looks and fame, Chang Youchang would probably have already given her gifts.
This is because Chang Youchang is a figure of considerable influence even within Beijing's social circles.
At this moment, he stood up to support Cao Erdan, clearly seeing that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Huang Zusheng said sarcastically, "So this kid has General Manager Chang backing him up. No wonder he's so arrogant."
Changing the subject, he asked Chang Youchang, "Mr. Chang, are you trying to excuse him? This kid is incredibly arrogant; I'm already very angry!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Youchang quickly explained:
"Mr. Cao is an outstanding individual, and it is my great honor to be his friend!"
He paused for a moment, then continued to Huang Zusheng, "Young Master Huang, regardless of who is right or wrong today, how about we just let it go?"
Huang Zusheng frowned even more deeply.
Chang Youchang, a giant in the industry, actually bowed his head and admitted his inferiority in front of this young man. What does this mean?
The young man in front of us has considerable influence!
Huang Zusheng began to reassess the situation.
If Cao Erdan and Chang Youchang have a close relationship, then giving him a way out might not be a bad thing.
After all, in this circle of the wealthy, interests are intertwined in a complex way, and every word and action may involve long-term interests.
Chang Youchang's resolute attitude was clearly not an impulsive act, but rather the result of careful consideration.
This also proves that Cao Erdan is no ordinary person; at least in his view, he is worthy of such a risky support.
After considering his options, Huang Zusheng decided to temporarily suppress his resentment and said calmly:
"Since President Chang has spoken, I will naturally give him face. But this kid had better not show up in front of me again, and don't give me another chance to cause trouble."
Then he pointed to the wine bottle on the table: "Have him pour me a drink, call me 'brother,' and admit his mistake, and I won't pursue the matter further!"
