Chapter 1,269 Can I Ask You to Dance?

Stopping next to the two of them, Emma first glanced at Liu Yao, and then at Felix. Guessing what happened, she curled up into a sneer.

"Mr. Felix, let me guess, you are using your employer's business card to cheat again, right?"

"What does it mean to bluff? Please watch your words, Miss Watson." Felix's hooked nose was pointed at Emma, ​​and a trace of disgust flashed in Felix's eyes.

If it were an ordinary movie star, she would definitely not have the qualifications to talk to him like this. However, this Emma was different. She somehow got attached to the future human creature and became the image spokesperson of the nutritional mixture. Although Future Human's biological status is average among all the subsidiaries of Future Human Group, it still belongs to the big tree of Future Human Group.

The second and third tier stars of Warner Bros. were the only ones she couldn't touch.

He would not dare to offend the Future People Group if he offended anyone.

After all, Futureman Technology's position in Hollywood has now vaguely replaced Industrial Light and Magic. VR shooting technology can save a lot of costs, and VR theaters are one of the box office channels that film companies across the United States cannot ignore.

Of course, just because he didn't dare to offend her old employer behind her back didn't mean that Felix didn't dare to offend her personally, such as by casually ridiculing her.

"What's wrong? Miss Emma, ​​do you want to ask me to dance?" Felix said sarcastically, "I heard that the women's rights organization you joined recently is discussing expelling you. Is that true? Listen. They said they slandered you as a bitch wearing the skin of a virgin, and you actually work for a boss who has been criticized for not respecting women's rights."

As a Warner Bros. executive, he knew exactly where Emma's sore feet were. In her early years, in order to package herself as a "highly educated model woman", she even put her acting career on hold at the suggestion of her agency. She frequently campaigned for gender equality and even spoke at the United Nations on behalf of an organization...

However, she undoubtedly failed in the packaging, or she did not have a good relationship with the person responsible for the "packaging". There have been doubts since the end of Harry Potter 7 about whether she is a true feminist. sound.

"Felix, let's not discuss my troubles for now. Why don't you worry about your own situation first?" Emma took a deep breath and watched Felix curl her lips mockingly. "Have you ever said anything before striking up a conversation? Why don’t you research the other party’s background?”

Felix's face changed slightly and his eyes were fixed on Liu Yao's face.

Upon closer inspection, this woman seemed familiar.

It's just that it looks familiar.

He really couldn't remember it for a while.

To be honest, he is quite face-blind when it comes to Asians, just like most white executives who are assigned to Asia. Unless they are celebrities who are very popular and have distinctive looks, or they have frequent contacts in business, it is difficult for him to recognize them at the first time.

"Excuse me, what is this lady's name?" Felix barely maintained the grace on his face and asked Liu Yao.

"Liu Yao."

Liu Yao...?

I haven’t heard of that…wait a minute.

Suddenly, Felix's expression changed wildly, so much so that he broke into a cold sweat.

When he was first sent to Asia, he heard a rumor. When a movie invested by Futureman Technology held its overseas premiere in Tokyo, Japan, the son of Morita Real Estate once tried to use force on a certain Chinese actress.

He didn't know what happened in the middle, but he had heard of the final outcome. The entire Morita Real Estate, with a market value of one trillion yen, was uprooted, and both father and son were imprisoned. There is a shadow of the Sumitomo Foundation behind the rumors, and the Sumitomo Foundation has always been Star Trading's largest partner in Japan's power output project...

Cold sweat ran down his temples, and Felix swallowed. Now he finally understood how to write the word "death".

The CEO of a listed company with a market value of trillions of yen was uprooted overnight, and he was just a manager of a Warner Bros. branch, so what the heck?

I'm just afraid that Liu Yao might be that man's...

Ignoring Felix, who was frightened half to death by his guess and turned to run away, Liu Yao looked at Emma Watson with a slightly confused expression on her face.

Although she also knew some stars who were developing in Hollywood, she didn't have much interaction with her. She only exchanged a few words with her.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, it's easy," Emma smiled, leaning forward slightly to hold the goblet in her hand, "If he continues to pester you, you can tell me that this is my business card."

Continue to pester?

Liu Yao didn't think that the man would dare to pester him regardless of life or death after knowing her identity.

However, she still smiled and accepted Emma's kindness.

Because they work in the same field, and the two have collaborated before on Iron Curtain, a film jointly invested by Warner Bros. and Futureman Group. After exchanging business cards with Emma, ​​Liu Yao walked to the side with her and started chatting happily.

One has an angelic face and a devilish figure, and the other has the temperament of an English princess in every gesture. The two beauties standing together naturally attracted countless eyeballs, but no one came forward to strike up a conversation.

After all, in a banquet of this level, there are only a few fools like Felix who are smart and worm-brained. Most people will still use their brains to think carefully about the possible costs of their actions before using their lower bodies to think. .

The two chatted surprisingly well.

The topic quickly changed from things in the entertainment industry to the gossip that every woman is passionate about, and as they chatted, the two of them talked about themselves.

Emma was a little surprised that Liu Yao frankly admitted that she was Jiang Chen's lover, but she didn't say anything.

She was not surprised that Liu Yao was Jiang Chen's lover. In the entertainment industry, this was not a secret at all. She had heard about it a long time ago. What really surprised her was Liu Yao's calm attitude. Most people were very secretive about this kind of thing, and Emma was very considerate and did not take the initiative to touch on this topic. However, she didn't expect that Liu Yao herself didn't take it to heart at all and directly admitted it.

"Aren't you going to dance with him?" Emma asked, looking in the direction of the center of the banquet hall.

"No need." Liu Yao shook her head gently.

"Why?"

"Because I came here just to see him, and now I have seen him." A smile appeared on Liu Yao's lips.

"That's it?" Emma asked.

"that's all."

Looking at Liu Yao, Emma's expression was quite incomprehensible, but she didn't say anything about it.

"Actually," looking at the center of the banquet hall, Liu Yao sighed quietly and said softly, "Actually, a long time ago, I also thought about trying to catch up with him, but I didn't expect that without knowing it, , he has gone far beyond reach."

Perhaps deep down in her heart, she yearned more for the life she had in Wanghai City.

Yet she also knew it.

It's impossible to go back to the past or anything.

As the ball drew to a close, Emma bid her farewell.

Standing alone by the dance floor, sipping a glass of champagne, Liu Yao quietly admired the men and women embracing each other on the dance floor, with a slight smile on her lips. From time to time, people came up to strike up a conversation, but she politely rejected them all. Until the last song played, the dinner gradually came to an end.

Returned from the dance floor to the banquet hall.

I don’t know since when, the figure sitting in front of the long table has disappeared.

Withdrawing her searching gaze, Liu Yao sighed quietly and followed the crowd and walked out of the banquet hall.

The sea breeze blows slowly through the corridor window, the distant sea echoes with sparkling blue waves, and the bright moon is beautiful and cool in the deep night.

She was so immersed in the night view outside the window that she didn't even notice the road ahead, and accidentally bumped into the person in front of her.

exclaimed softly.

Liu Yao lost her balance and fell backwards.

Just when she closed her eyes, thinking that she must have fallen miserably, a hand passed through her lower back and held her in his arms as she was about to fall to the ground.

Their chests were almost touching, and the warm air could even be felt on the tips of their noses.

Liu Yao, who frowned slightly and had blushing cheeks, was about to get angry when she realized that the face so close to her was the man she had been longing for...

Tears welled up from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.

"Beautiful lady, may I ask you to dance?"

With his free hand, he gently pushed away the black hair on her cheek, staring at the pretty face so close, Jiang Chen said with a smirk.
