Seeing Mr. Yang like this, I straightened my expression.
"The relationship between Mr. Ou and Deng Wenwen is just one aspect. In this world, it's all about interests!"
Mr. Yang chuckled and said, "In July this year, Old Ke spent over 500 million dollars to buy Juyou Network and then planned to expand Juyou Network into our country!"
"As far as I know, Mr. Ou's fund has already reached an agreement with Old Ke and will claim 20 to 30 percent of Juyou China's investment shares. By then, Deng Wenwen might become a director of Juyou China!"
"With such lucrative interests at stake, Mr. Ou has to step up as the mediator. Now do you understand?"
"I understand!"
I nodded.
The Old Ke Mr. Yang mentioned is Deng Wenwen's tycoon husband.
As for Mr. Ou, despite being hailed as the number one in domestic venture capital, some things can't be delved into, like where his money comes from.
"And think about it, why did I call you as soon as you got home?" Mr. Yang continued.
"I was being tailed!"
I immediately realized.
Mr. Yang patted my shoulder, signaling me not to get agitated. He opened the car's mini-fridge, took out a bottle of water, handed it to me, and said, "Brother Feng, that's just how society is!"
"Damn it!"
I took the water, unscrewed it, took a sip, and couldn't help but curse.
"Mr. Yang, why are you telling me all this?"
After calming down, I asked in a deep voice.
Mr. Yang didn't have to tell me these things!
It's deep talk for a shallow relationship!
"Firstly, you suit my temperament; secondly, you're interesting, and I don't want anything to happen to you!" Mr. Yang said.
I didn't doubt these two reasons. From our interactions over this period, Mr. Yang is indeed a laid-back person.
"Brother Feng, there's no need for us to get too involved in some matters. With my resources, you can live a carefree life just by diagnosing and treating those female celebrities. When we're free, we can call a few models, have a party, and discuss metaphysics when we're bored. What a carefree life!"
"Look at me, I don't aim to make the company too big. Staying in a second-tier position is fine; that way, it's not easy to be targeted. Whatever policies come from above, I fully support and respond first!"
"I don't have to personally handle everything in the company. I delegate power to the people below, giving myself more time and my subordinates room to grow!"
"As for status, I don't lack it. In the business world, no matter who becomes number one, they have to give me some face. Besides, what's the use of being number one? You're just pushed around, becoming a target!"
"In politics, I always support the policies from above, so no one can find fault with me!"
"Isn't this a god-like life!"
"I wanted to find a few like-minded, interesting people to live this do-as-you-please life together!"
"I'm one of them, right?" I pointed to my nose and asked.
"Exactly!"
Mr. Yang nodded and said, "I wanted to advise you not to get involved in certain things, but I didn't expect you to get so deeply involved in such a short time. Now, even if you want to withdraw, it's difficult!"
Mr. Yang shook his head as he spoke.
I also shook my head with a wry smile.
Mr. Yang truly understands life. The saying "those in Jianghu can't help themselves" is nonsense to him.
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into a Quadrangle Courtyard.
This was a very private private club.
After getting out of the car, we were led by a waiter into a room.
"Wenwen, I told you, when Mr. Yang steps in, it's like having two people. Look, isn't Little Feng here now?"
As soon as we entered, Mr. Ou said with a smile.
"Mr. Ou, Mr. Yang personally came to my shop to find me. I had to come!" I said with a smile, glancing at Deng Wenwen. The necklace on her neck had been replaced with a jade one.
Sensing my dissatisfaction, Deng Wenwen stood up, poured herself a glass of wine, and said, "Little Feng, I was impulsive this afternoon. I'll punish myself with three glasses!"
With that, she downed the wine in her glass.
"Sister Wen, no need for three glasses. With Mr. Ou and Mr. Yang here today, let me speak honestly!"
I stopped Deng Wenwen from pouring more wine and said, "I don't have big ambitions. I just want to earn some money and live a peaceful life. Let's forget about this afternoon. My small shoulders can't bear such a big responsibility!"
Mr. Hua's suggestion to block rather than dredge clearly didn't apply here.
Mr. Yang acted as the mediator and told me so much, especially pointing out the identity of Deng Wenwen's husband as a foreign investor.
This clearly indicated that Deng Wenwen was the representative of foreign capital entering the domestic entertainment market.
In this situation, if I still wanted to confront Deng Wenwen, it would be overestimating myself.
Deng Wenwen invited Mr. Yang tonight and brought in Mr. Ou as a mediator, not for my sake, but for Mr. Hua's.
Otherwise, why didn't she contact me earlier or later, but only after I returned from Mr. Hua's house?
So, my choices were limited. I could only temporarily play along, just like with Ma Shuai.
"Wenwen, you have a wide network in Hong Kong. The entertainment circle there is popular for raising little ghosts and worshiping fox spirits, and many have some health issues. You can introduce a few to Little Feng!"
Mr. Ou said with a smile when he saw I had softened.
Deng Wenwen agreed with a smile.
With that, the conversation was laid bare.
After the meeting, Mr. Ou and Deng Wenwen left together, while Mr. Yang and I took another route.
"Brother Feng, let's go, I'll take you to have some fun today!"
After getting in the car, Mr. Yang gave the driver an address.
"Tianshang Renjian?"
Hearing that address, I was a bit surprised.
"Yes!"
Mr. Yang nodded with a smile.
I've been to many nightclubs and clubs with Mr. Yang recently, but we've never been to the famous Tianshang Renjian.
Before coming to the capital, I had heard of Tianshang Renjian's reputation, but it was always just hearsay.
For an entertainment venue to gain such a big name, even nationwide fame, it couldn't be a good thing.
I always thought Tianshang Renjian would eventually close down.
After thinking this for three years, not only did Tianshang Renjian not close down, but it also became more prosperous and famous. I realized there must be something significant behind it.
"Now's the perfect time. We'll arrive just in time for the midnight courtesan dance!"
Mr. Yang checked the time and said.
"Courtesan? Night dance?" I was even more surprised and asked, "Mr. Yang, I heard Tianshang Renjian has four famous courtesans. Which one is performing the courtesan night dance?"
"Not those four!"
Mr. Yang shook his head.
"Then who?"
I asked.
"Someone you know!" Mr. Yang replied.
"Someone I know?" I pointed to my nose, finding it hard to believe.
"A celebrity?"
The next moment, I suddenly realized.
