Chapter 495: Worth Celebrating
Chapter 495: Worth Celebrating
At the hospital room door, Xu Xiangbei encountered President Huang.
President Huang had a somewhat subtle expression, a sly smile on his face, shaking hands with Xu Xiangbei and saying, "Younger Brother Xu, thank you for helping Lu Yao recover. We all know the truth about Gu Xinyan and Lu Yao’s matter. Please convey my condolences to Miss Gu on my behalf. Tell her some good news, I’ve discussed it with Director Feng, and the lead actress for ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles’ is her. Please help me pass the message, she should prepare to come to the company for signing next week."
"Congratulations, Fairy Sister, you’ve defeated Lu Yao and become the lead actress in ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles’. President Huang wants you to go to the set next week to sign the contract."
Upon hearing Xu Xiangbei’s words, Gu Xinyan was so happy that her eyes welled up. Even though she had gone through humiliation and trials, it also made her more mature and brought her good fortune.
Lu Xiaomei was happy for her: "That’s great, Miss Gu can be the lead actress again."
While being happy for Gu Xinyan, Lu Xiaomei was also glad for herself, for being able to go to the set again to take care of Gu Xinyan. Because of a long-distance relationship, Hua Ji and Lu Xiaomei announced their breakup, and Lu Xiaomei liked using work to make up for emotional regrets.
On the set, Lu Xiaomei could not only eat well, but what she liked most was meeting many handsome men in the martial arts circle who could get along with her and share common topics.
Xu Xiangbei deliberately teased Gu Xinyan: "The lead actress in ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles’ must be able to fight. Can your legs manage that?"
Gu Xinyan stubbornly jumped up from the wheelchair and performed several moves of Dragon Tiger Divine Fist, her moves were precise, her kicks quick and forceful.
Gu Xinyan spiritedly declared, "Who says I can’t do it, I’m confident I can play this role well."
Xu Xiangbei smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, you must persist in exercising every day, but also know your limits, don’t overdo it.
After throwing a few punches, Gu Xinyan already felt a bit tired in her legs, so she had to return to the wheelchair to rest for a while.
To celebrate, Xu Xiangbei opened a bottle of premium champagne: "Today is a day worth celebrating, celebrating Fairy Sister about to get a new contract, let’s toast to her."
Gu Xinyan reminded Xu Xiangbei: "Ouyang Jiahui and Xiao Lin are on the second floor, let them come down for a drink too."
Xu Xiangbei shouted towards the upstairs: "Champagne is open, everyone present gets a share. Ladies upstairs, want to come down for some champagne?"
Xu Xiangbei used the Lion’s Roar of Buddhism, making Ouyang Jiahui and Xiao Lin feel as if a shout was made outside their bedroom door, and they came down from the second floor.
Upon hearing about the champagne, Ouyang Jiahui came over shaking her pomelo afro playfully: "Isn’t there some happy event that needs champagne to celebrate? Seeing you all so happy, are you getting married?"
Gu Xinyan’s fair face had a flush of red from excitement: "I’m going to act in a new movie, still collaborating with Director Feng, every movie directed by him is a classic."
Ouyang Jiahui danced around Gu Xinyan with envy on her face: "When ’Blade Rain Heroes’ is released, we’ll definitely buy tickets to the cinema to watch it."
"The post-production of ’Blade Rain Heroes’ is almost finished, and when it’s time for the premiere, I’ll get some tickets for you, no need for you to buy them."
Xiao Lin smiled with noble elegance: "Xin Yan sister, when does your new film start, is there a role suitable for me?"
Gu Xinyan squinted her eyes with a smile: "Miss Xiao, as long as you go to the set to find Director Feng, with your pretty face, you’ll definitely get a good role."
Ouyang Jiahui, sipping champagne, had a new idea: "Just drinking champagne here is boring, how about we go to KTV tonight, sing and drink at the same time?"
Just after gnawing on a roast duck leg, Lu Xiaomei wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, clapping happily: "I haven’t sung for a long time, I also want to go singing."
Gu Xinyan glanced at Xu Xiangbei, and Xu Xiangbei said directly: "You don’t have to look at me, today is your celebration party, and a good day for you to get a new contract. Whether to go or not, you decide yourself."
"To celebrate me getting a new contract, let’s go to KTV to sing together, all expenses on me, my treat."
Ah Rong came out of her bedroom, walked straight to the dining table, saw a wine glass filled with alcohol, and drank it all without caring whose glass it was.
That glass was Lu Xiaomei’s, and besides Xu Xiangbei, Lu Xiaomei was most afraid of seeing Ah Rong. Lu Xiaomei had compared fists and kicks with Ah Rong, and the Lu Family Fist was defeated by Ah Rong’s Fighting Technique.
What troubled Lu Xiaomei most was that Ah Rong often had bombs and guns in her pocket, especially that shimmering Half Moon Saber.
Lu Xiaomei dared not grab the glass from Ah Rong’s hand, she could only complain: "How could you drink my wine, you should compensate..."
Before Lu Xiaomei could finish the word ’compensate’, Ah Rong glared, scaring Lu Xiaomei into silence.
Ah Rong put the empty glass in front of Lu Xiaomei: "Good wine, feels great to drink, there’s too many people and not enough space in one car, do you want me to drive?"
Xu Xiangbei grinned: "We really do need you to drive. Then, tonight we’ll go to Crown KTV together."
Ah Rong’s black battle-tank-like Lamborghini had been parked in the spot behind the house, its cool appearance, car lights shining like searchlights, the engine roaring deafeningly, slowly starting as Ouyang Jiahui and Xiao Lin got in.
Meanwhile, Xu Xiangbei drove his silver Porsche, bringing Gu Xinyan and Lu Xiaomei.
The two luxury cars sped onto the highway like the wind, merging into the flow of traffic.
Ah Rong shook her beautifully arranged bob cut, disdainfully eyeing Ouyang Jiahui in the passenger seat: "Sister Jiahui, your pomelo afro is too glaring, can’t you change your hairstyle."
Ouyang Jiahui sneered indignantly: "I just like this hairstyle, it’s the most trendy now. I’m a senior editor at the forefront of fashion, your bob cut is a decade behind me."
"Pfft, I can’t understand you guys’ fashion."
The two luxury cars stopped together at a red light, at the stop line, Ah Rong rolled down the window, provocatively smiling at Xu Xiangbei: "Brother Xu, let’s race, see who gets to Crown KTV first."
Xu Xiangbei refused to be beaten: "Alright, loser buys the drinks."
"OK."
Ah Rong and Xu Xiangbei stared at the numbers on the traffic light, continuously flooring the gas pedal, the rumbling engine sounds were like continuous thunder.
At the split second the red light turned green, the two cars whooshed forward, turning into black and silver streaks of lightning, racing towards Crown KTV.
Ah Rong’s driving skills were exceptional, neck and neck with Xu Xiangbei. Sometimes Xu Xiangbei took advantage of the chaotic traffic flow to speed ahead.
Occasionally, being slightly affected by the car in front, the black tank-like Lamborghini roared past them.
The two luxury cars shifted gears and accelerated, weaving through the traffic like liquid mercury, a swift and smooth rush.
The halos from the streetlights, mixed with the car lights, cast on the car body, outlining a dazzling radiance like a rainbow that left people in awe.
