Chapter 266 The Mastermind
Ren Xuanxuan hung up the phone and rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.
"Xuanxuan, there's actually no need to make this call. You've already taken good care of her by finding her the resources of this fashion magazine. If Xu Yuxi lets it slip, it will be disadvantageous to you."
The person who spoke was Ren Xuanxuan's agent Zhang Mei. She didn't know why Xuanxuan valued Xu Yuxi so much. It was undeniable that Xu Yuxi was indeed very beautiful. Among the female stars in the circle, her appearance was at least in the top three.
In today's idol TV dramas, the male and female stars all look very good-looking after the beautification and skin smoothing are turned on. However, when you see them in real life you will find that their looks are just so-so.
But even though Xu Yuxi is good-looking, if she wants to do well in the entertainment industry, it is not enough to rely on her looks alone, she needs connections and resources.
She knew Xu Yuxi's background very well. She came from an ordinary family, so there was no need to take care of her too much.
"Don't worry, Yuxi won't tell anyone, and Yuxi is already filming there."
"It was filmed there. How is that possible? Didn't Young Master Wei do that to you..."
"I don't know. Yuxi just told me this on the phone."
"I'll call and ask."
Zhang Mei was a little skeptical and quickly called a friend at the magazine. A few minutes later, her expression looked a little strange.
"Xu Yuxi has finally found a real benefactor."
Zhang Mei called the person in charge of the magazine that photographed Xu Yuxi. She already knew what had happened from the other person and immediately told it to Ren Xuanxuan.
"Sister Mei, do you think that my original care for Xu Yuxi was wrong?"
"Do you know that Xu Yuxi knows a noble person?"
"No." Ren Xuanxuan shook her head. She took care of Xu Yuxi because she saw in Xu Yuxi what she was like when she first entered the entertainment industry.
Pretty, smart...seems easy to get along with, but deep down she is actually quite proud.
At first, she thought she could withstand the temptations of the entertainment industry and protect herself, but in the end she found out that she was wrong. She finally compromised and became involved with some of the dark forces in this circle.
Xu Yuxi made her see her former self, so she was willing to give Xu Yuxi some help.
But she didn't expect Xu Yuxi to give her such a big surprise .
"The Wei Group not only has jewelry companies, but also cosmetics and some daily necessities. Xu Yuxi is really going to be very successful this time."
Zhang Mei had a look of envy on her face, and then she said excitedly: "Xuanxuan, since Xu Yuxi knows such a noble person, then the second young master Wei is..."
"Need not."
Ren Xuanxuan interrupted Zhang Mei. She didn't know the relationship between Xu Yuxi and the nobleman, but she thought it was not that kind of relationship, because if Xu Yuxi really relied on her body to get in touch with the nobleman, there would be no need to do such a thing.
On the contrary, it would be better to do this secretly. Fashion magazines deal with entertainers in the entertainment industry a lot, and what happened today will definitely get out.
This is not a good thing for Xu Yuxi.
"We have to solve our own problems. Things are different now. Our country is different from South Korea."
…
…
Noon, Wei family!
Wei Xingmin asked the chef to serve a large table of dishes. This time, in addition to himself, Wei Changqing was also there.
However, halfway through the meal, a young man pushed the door and walked in.
"Dad, I heard that you found someone to treat my eldest brother?"
Young Master Wei came in with an upright posture, dressed in a suit, full of energy and spirit. His expression was very excited when he entered the door.
"Changan, let me introduce you to Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin said that your brother's leg can be cured."
"Really?"
Wei Changan was very excited. He walked quickly to Lin Ye and bowed deeply to him: "Mr. Lin, thank you so much."
"You're too polite, Second Young Master. Besides, I haven't cured your eldest brother's leg yet. I won't accept any reward without doing anything." Lin Ye replied indifferently.
"I believe in Mr. Lin."
Wei Changan looked at his elder brother again and squatted down beside Wei Changqing's wheelchair: "Brother, once your leg is healed, I can return the company to you. I can finally continue to be my idiot. This management company is really not suitable for me. I am exhausted every day. It is not as comfortable as being an idiot. It is so comfortable to date girls and spend money every day."
"You, you're so grown up, and you still say such things. Even if my leg is healed, you have to help me." Wei Changqing looked at his younger brother and said helplessly.
"It's helpful, but I don't like staying in the company all day."
Wei Xingmin's face was full of smiles as he listened to the conversation between his two sons. In addition to being proud of having an eldest son like Changqing, he was also proud of his two sons. Unlike the children of other friends, they were not obsessed with fighting for property.
The second child has always followed Chang Qing since he was a child. Sometimes Chang Qing's words are more effective than those of his father.
The brothers have a deep affection for each other, and Changqing's leg can be cured. Wei Xingmin is in the best mood ever at this moment.
"Mr. Lin, please tell me what herbs you need to treat my eldest brother. Our family will definitely do our best. Even if there are some precious herbs that cannot be bought with money, I will beg for them."
Wei Changan sat down on the chair and looked at Lin Ye sincerely. Lin Ye smiled and said, "No need to go through so much trouble. Your elder brother can come back to Raocheng with me and it will be cured in a few days."
"That's good, that's good, brother, I'll go with you."
"No, the company still needs you. You should stay in Shanghai and help dad manage the company first."
Wei Changqing refused. Wei Xingmin had originally planned to accompany his son to Raocheng, but he stopped talking about it when he heard this. Changqing was very opinionated, and since he didn't want to go with Chang'an, then he wouldn't go.
"Okay." Wei Changan was somewhat helpless, then turned his gaze to Lin Ye and said, "Mr. Lin, please cure my eldest brother's illness as soon as possible, so that I can be free sooner."
"Changan, you must not be rude to Mr. Lin."
Wei Xingmin glared at his son. He was afraid that his son's words would make Mr. Lin unhappy. However, Lin Ye just smiled and did not respond.
After finishing his meal and taking a short rest, Lin Ye headed for the airport. Wei Xingmin originally wanted to send him off personally, but was rejected by Lin Ye. In the end, he had to arrange for a driver to send Lin Ye to the airport.
Looking at the departing car, Wei Changan said with a smile, "Dad, I heard from Assistant Xue that you gave all the endorsements of our company to Mr. Lin's celebrity friend this morning."
"Yes, you must make friends with Mr. Lin and never offend him. This is not just because of your eldest brother's illness."
Wei Xingmin did not explain too much to his second son, because Old Wei had told him that Mr. Lin's identity should not be known to too many people, so he chose to hide it even from his own son.
"Just because he can cure my eldest brother's illness, I dare not offend him."
Wei Changan chuckled and left the manor after staying for a while. However, after leaving the manor, he did not return to the company, but went to another villa.
Before entering the villa, Wei Changan took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, put on a smile on his face and pushed open the door.
Inside the villa's lobby, several beauties wearing very little clothing, gathered on the sofa, accompanied by bursts of laughter and hoarse banter.
After Wei Changan came in, he stood aside until a few minutes later, when a special sound was heard.
"Okay, all the beauties go down first."
Several women in the living room left with sweet smiles. One of them even threw a coquettish glance at Wei Changan, and then walked upstairs with a swaying figure.
"How come Master Wei has time to come to my place today? Could it be that he has already dealt with that woman?"
On the sofa, a man in his fifties was sitting there awkwardly. When Wei Changan heard what the other party said, his face darkened slightly, but he also knew that in the current situation, he could not do without the other party's help.
"Master Gao, Ren Xuanxuan is in some trouble. After all, her current identity is different."
"What's the difference? He's just an actor. Or is it that Young Master Wei can't bear to part with this beautiful girl? If Young Master Wei can't bear to part with her, why not tell me so? I won't take away what's good from him."
Wei Changan didn't believe what the man said at all. If he didn't want to take away someone else's favor, he wouldn't have made such a request to himself.
That’s right, he was the one who brought Ren Xuanxuan up and she was also his woman. Due to an accident, he let Gao Rong meet Ren Xuanxuan. Unexpectedly, Gao Rong actually asked Ren Xuanxuan to accompany him.
It was impossible for Gao Rong not to see that Ren Xuanxuan was his woman, but Gao Rong still made such a request, which made Wei Changan very angry, but there was no way, he needed Gao Rong's help.
He did hint to Ren Xuanxuan, but he didn't expect that Ren Xuanxuan would directly refuse and even draw a line between them.
Ren Xuanxuan's refusal did not make him too angry. He had some feelings for Ren Xuanxuan, and he did not want her to accompany Gao Rong. Although he was angry about this and even used some connections to suppress Ren Xuanxuan, that was just a lesson for Ren Xuanxuan for being disobedient.
In his plan, he wanted to delay for a while, and after he had complete control of the company, he would not have to rely on Gao Rong anymore, and he thought that Gao Rong would have forgotten about him by then.
Everything went according to his plan, but he didn't expect that his father actually found someone to cure his eldest brother's illness, and that person was so confident. This made him a little panicked. If his eldest brother's leg was cured, given his father's respect for his eldest brother, the company would still return to his eldest brother.
Then all his business operations over the years would come to naught, and he would not allow this to happen.
It was he who poisoned the water that his eldest brother drank, and then asked Gao Rong to put a poison curse on his eldest brother.
The reason why he pretended to have no interest in the company and acted like a playboy was to avoid arousing suspicion from his elder brother and father.
His cover-up was successful. Neither his father nor his eldest brother suspected him. They originally thought that according to the effect of the poison curse on his eldest brother, he would die of a ulcer in his waist within three years, and he would be the only heir to the company at that time.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin suddenly appeared.
"Master Gao, things have changed now..."
Wei Changan briefly described the situation, but Gao Rong burst into laughter after hearing it: "Young Master Wei, you are worrying too much. My tiger-biting curse is not that easy to resolve. I think your father is desperate and has been deceived by a charlatan. The idea of taking him to Raocheng for treatment is just a trick by the charlatan to buy time."
Gao Rong was very confident in the Tiger Bite Curse he had cast. Looking around the world, there were people who could break his curse, but there were definitely no more than two hands. And according to the appearance of Mr. Lin described by Wei Changan, he was definitely not one of those who could break his Tiger Bite Curse.
Wei Changan was not reassured by Gao Rong's words. He knew his father too well. If the young Mr. Lin was really a liar, his father would not be so fawning on him. There must be a reason why his father fawned on him.
In the past, Mr. Wei had introduced those masters with special abilities to his father. However, although his father had a good attitude towards those masters, he was definitely not as respectful as he was to Mr. Lin. There must be a reason why his father could respect him so much.
"Master Gao, we should pay more attention to this matter. I don't want to give up halfway."
"Young Master Wei, I only promised you to cast a curse on your elder brother, but I didn't promise you to do anything later. Besides, I have been in the Magic City for many years, and I am a little bored. I am ready to go back to my master's sect."
Gao Rong's words made Wei Changan curse in his heart. What did he mean by wanting to return to the sect? He had never heard Gao Rong say this before today. As for saying he was tired of it, that was a threat to him.
Thinking of this, Gao Rong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Master Gao, if this matter can be resolved, I guarantee that Ren Xuanxuan will appear in the villa."
"Since Young Master Wei is so sincere, I will also help Young Master Wei solve the problem."
Gao Rong was waiting for Wei Changan to say this. Before Wei Changan found him, he was still staying in the Miao village in western Hunan. Although he had many wealthy people in western Hunan trying to curry favor with him by virtue of his ancient Gu curse technique, the wealthy people in western Hunan could not be compared with the wealthy people in big cities like Shanghai.
After Wei Changan found him, he immediately agreed to Wei Changan's request, and Wei Changan also gave him huge rewards. The female star he fell in love with when he was watching TV when he was young, he just mentioned her casually to Wei Changan, and she came to his bed that night.
Although the female star was already quite old, this gave Gao Rong a huge stimulus.
However, after getting used to the extravagant life in Shanghai, Gao Rong's ambition was slowly growing. Especially when one day he saw Ren Xuanxuan who was following Wei Changan, he became interested.
Why should he be able to enjoy such a beauty only after practicing witchcraft for decades, while Wei Changan can get the treatment he has practiced hard just because he is born into a good family? This gradually distorted his psychology, and he wanted to step on Wei Changan under his feet.
The best way to humiliate Wei Changan is to let Wei Changan send his woman to his bed. Of course, Ren Xuanxuan's appearance is also the main reason.
Wei Changan naturally didn't know about Gao Rong's twisted psychology. He was thinking that after inheriting the company, he would start with Gao Rong.
Although Gao Rong could cast a Gu curse, he had also made a point to learn more about it in recent years. He knew that although the Gu curse was terrifying, it was not so easy to cast. There were conditions required to cast a Gu curse on someone. People like Gao Rong could be killed by just finding a few green-skinned people.
The two reached a cooperation and smiled at each other tacitly. The solution Gao Rong gave was very simple, which was to activate the Tiger Bite Curse on Wei Changqing.
Wei Changan walked out of the villa, straightened his collar, and had a fierce look on his face: "Brother, don't blame me for being cruel, just blame our father for being too partial."
