Chapter 74 He fears us
In the kitchen, Lin Chen placed the tray in a corner, turned it around casually a couple of times, and then picked it up again.
At that moment, Louis's voice came through the earpiece:
"Zuo Xia has arrived on the 50th floor and will be at the venue soon. We can begin preparations."
"receive."
Lin Chen picked up the wine tray, then casually grabbed a fruit plate, and walked towards the refrigerator in the corner of the kitchen as if no one else was there.
He closed the refrigerator door, took out a bag of laxatives from his pocket, and put the laxatives in the wine.
Just as Lin Chen was about to drug the fruit platter as well, the door behind him suddenly opened—
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Lin Chen stopped moving.
That voice belonged to the bald manager.
He didn't turn around, and answered softly:
"I'm not feeling well, so I'm resting here for a while."
"Not feeling well? Why don't you go to the presidential suite and take a nap?" the bald manager mocked. "Want me to call a few more women to comfort you? Turn around!"
Lin Chen closed his eyes and gently touched the holster on his vest.
He had filled his pistol with rubber bullets beforehand, so he could use them for self-defense in such situations.
"Damn it, can't you understand human language?"
Seeing that Lin Chen still didn't move, the bald manager began to approach him.
Just as Lin Chen was about to turn around and fire, he suddenly heard a crisp sound.
"Clatter".
Something fell to the ground, accompanied by tense panting.
Lin Chen turned his head and saw Hao Ge standing behind the supervisor, looking panicked.
He was holding half a broken plate in his hand; the other half, of course, had shattered on the ground after he struck the supervisor's bald head.
"Damn it, this idiot followed you in, cursing and swearing..." Brother Hao stammered, "I...I was afraid something would happen to you, so I...fuck!"
He pinched his philtrum hard, his expression suddenly turning fierce.
"Go do your work," Brother Hao said in a low voice, "I'll handle him."
"Okay." Lin Chen nodded.
He knew that time was of the essence at a time like this.
Lin Chen quickly added the drug to the fruit platter, then picked up the platter and headed towards the bustling carnival.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Let's welcome the renowned director of Yudu, honorary film advisor of the foundation, and director Zuo Xia, who has created box office miracles! Please give him a warm welcome!"
"Clap clap clap clap clap..."
Amidst the waves of applause, Jiang Zhengge stared at the girl sitting opposite him, his expression gloomy.
She just said, "Anyway, you won't be able to struggle for much longer."
"No matter what your brother plans to do, he won't succeed," Jiang Zhengge said softly. "I will stop him."
"You can't stop it," Xileina shook her head gently, "but you can try, really, I can help you."
tide Lena turned her head and looked at the stage at the other end of the banquet hall.
"He's here," the girl said softly. "Look, see how fear drives a loyal dog of the Foundation to the brink of exile."
Under the spotlight, Zuo Xia, dressed in a suit and tie, walked to the center of the podium and shook hands with the host with a smile.
"Hello everyone, hello everyone," Zuo Xia said, opening his arms. "Ah... thank you all for coming. Really, compared to all of you elites from the Western film industry, I am unworthy of this honor, really."
He bowed to the crowd below and then began to speak eloquently.
In a corner of the banquet hall, Lin Chen observed the main stage, silently listening to every word Zuo Xia said.
This guy went on and on about his film philosophy, his admiration for the Western film industry, and his longing for a super America.
In summary, he's a Western-worshipping dog.
If the intelligence is correct, then it's clear that Zuo Xia really wants to escape from the rainy city, and he's even licking the boots of foreigners like this.
"How is Section Chief Jiang?" Li Zhanyi's voice came.
"Fortunately, Xileina hasn't done anything out of line yet," Louis's voice came through.
Lin Chen looked in Jiang Zhengge's direction: he was sitting at the table with a girl with blue curly hair, quietly watching the podium.
Although he didn't show much expression on his face, Lin Chen could tell that the natural and relaxed state he exuded unintentionally during their time together was something that people who had only known each other for a short time could not produce.
Section Chief Jiang...has known this demigod from the foundation for a long time?
"..."
As Lin Chen was pondering, a loud melody from a superhero movie pulled him back to reality.
He looked toward the main stage, where a still from "Turning the Tide" was prominently displayed on the screen: Qingtian stood with his hands on his hips, looking up at the sky with an arrogant expression.
It's as if his voice and appearance are still vivid in my mind.
"It's a pity that our old friend, the true hero of Yudu, Qingtian, should be here!"
The sound of the left shrimp was deafening:
"His heroism shines as brightly as the values of a superpowered America, like a beacon for humanity! He should be standing here, sharing in the joy of this masterpiece!"
"After our old friend Optimus Prime died in the line of duty, the publisher postponed the release of the 'Turning the Tide' series, and there was a lot of public opinion saying that Optimus Prime wasn't as clean as he appeared!"
"And today, I'm announcing some very important news for me: 'The Last Stand' will have its premiere on SuperUS! In memory of our old friend, the gamma-level demigod Optimus Prime!"
As soon as the news broke, the entire carnival was engulfed in applause.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the news announced by Zuo Xia, but Lin Chen knew that it wasn't because "Turning the Tide" was some kind of heavyweight production.
Left Shrimp's film premiered on Super America, meaning he bypassed the foundation's delayed release and proactively reached a cooperation agreement with Super America.
As a lackey of a well-known foundation in the industry, Zuo Xia's choice is clearly sending a message to everyone:
He will no longer work with the foundation.
Does this mean the foundation is declining, or is it because the secrets behind the foundation have exceeded its tolerance threshold?
Everyone was excited about this unresolved matter.
"Do you see it? His fear," Jiang Zhengge heard the girl whisper in his ear, "He's afraid of us. He saw our secret, so he wants to escape."
"He's not declaring a stance, he's seeking asylum. Do you think those white people will want him? He's a hot potato now. In the West, even we Roma, who are considered inferior, probably have a higher status than him..."
Jiang Zhengge turned his head, glanced at tide Leina beside him, and said softly:
"tide Lena, you are not inferior to anyone."
tide Lena's expression faltered slightly, and in the chaotic lighting of the banquet, the corner of her mouth seemed to twitch slightly.
The girl turned her head away, as if nothing had happened, and pointed at Zuo Xia, who had just finished his speech:
"Look, he's come down. Come on, shall I take you to see him?"
