Chapter 324: A king vs an emperor

While everyone else was eating, Chi Lian stepped away to make a call to Muyang, to check on him and little monk as well as fill him in on the happy reunion of her mother with her parents.

She had both his office schedule and school schedule on her phone so she knew when he would be busy and when he would be free. Right now, he was free. They had been together for many months and yet her heart still beat quite fast when she called him. Chi Lian often wondered if it was the same for him or whether this fluttering feeling in her tummy would ever fade.

"Hey," Muyang said lazily in a soft voice when he picked up.

"Hi." She replied coquettishly and then giggled in a way that shocked her so much so that she covered her mouth to stop herself.

"He-he." Muyang chuckled, "Are you blushing right now?" he asked in a soft teasing voice.

"Noooo," she denied. And yet, her body was swinging from side to side and she was smiling goofily. If she was on a bed right now, she would be facing the ceiling with her legs raised up in the air.

She had to take the phone away from her ear for a few seconds to calm herself down. "What is wrong with me?" she asked herself.

"Did the Wang’s come as you predicted?" he asked.

"En, everything is going well so far. My mother and her mother are getting along quite well, right now grandma An and Grandpa Wang are stuffing her with food at the table." She told him.

"Food?" he asked in a quizzing voice. It was coming to midday, were they having an early lunch?

"Most of the Wang’s did not have breakfast before coming over so we are feeding them." She explained while walking around. "The chef made crispy rice paper dumplings. Should I bring some for you at school?"

"Are you coming personally?" he asked.

"Yes, I want to see little monk too." She replied. Because she and Muyang were not married or living together, they took turns rotating the children between sleeping at the Jun’s or at the Chi’s. Would the Wang’s also want to squeeze into this arrangement?

The way madam An was insistent on carrying Mei-Mei at the party, she would probably want sleep overs too once she found out the Jun’s had that privilege.

"I will be waiting, don’t dress too sexy. Apparently Yichen is not the only one here that thinks you are cute, I don’t want him or the other young boys here drooling over you." He said. Picturing that scene in his head was enough to drive him mad.

She chuckled and asked, "So I should only dress sexy for you?"

"Yes a thousand times." He said with a light laugh. "No, an infinite amount of times." He corrected his words. "I am grading tests right now, I will see you when you get here."

She quickly said goodbye, went to the nearest bathroom and locked herself inside to go about her work.

"T4, how many actors have showed up to the Phoenix building or sent their managers to sniff around?" She asked while looking at her peep star page. T4 had been spreading the rumor through different false accounts that the billion dollar box office director Miles was shooting a movie in the empire and he had roles which were set aside for Chinese actors and actresses.

"Ten and counting host. Are you going to post now? I thought you were going to wait until all the big fish in the industry gathered?"

"That was the plan but I don’t want to wait anymore because one or more of these managers is going to spill the beans eventually and some gossip site or show will beat me to the news."

"We have two big fish for now; depending on how yu spin it we can have a large harvest or a medium one." T4 commented.

The mighty little peep star: [For some days now, this little peep star has noticed that some actors and actresses who are not signed to phoenix entertainment have been secretly visiting the company.

Some few examples include Action king Wu Lian’s nemesis the action emperor Bei Qing, Lihua Chow the actress who haunts our dreams as a nightmare, Jaw-Long the only descendant of the royal family that defied family tradition and went into the acting business, Su Xiaoxiao and last but not least Hai Harmony whose moves in the movie the dancing waves are yet to be surpassed by any dancer I have seen in this empire and beyond.

Is Phoenix entertainment poaching from other companies or is there something much bigger at play?]

A picture of every actor or actress whose name was mentioned was attached and for those who did not go personally, picture of their manager was attached.

"It’s ambiguous if I phrase it this way, right?" she asked T4 with a proud smile on her face because she believed she was very smart.

"Won’t the companies or the actors themselves come out to refute your speculations and explain why they went to the company?" T4 asked.

"I will have raked in a boatload of points by then. The rumor of Bei Qing and Lihua Chow defecting alone will probably crush weibo today. Just look at the comments, people are already vibrating.

Chen Berry: [Hai Harmony is not the great dancer you want us to believe she is, go and lie to a kindergarten kid.]

Beaver tooth: [Bei Qing and Wu Liang in the same company!!!! Impossible.]

Fire Lord: [The action king vs. the action emperor, this will be a fight to remember and I am here for it.]

Bang Bu: [Red Ruby is the solo greatest dancer of our time in the empire. She is who Hai Harmony thinks she is.]

I am a Long: [Jaw-Long joining phoenix Ent is not so outrageous considering the fact that his cousin the princess works for phoenix media.]

Silly rabbit: [I will sacrifice my arm if Su Xiaoxiao is poached by phoenix Ent, I will even live stream the whole thing.]

Sweetness: [I will eat shit if Bei Qing and Wu Lian end up in the same company.]

Dugu Daosi: [Bei Qing and Wu Lian together is the same thing as putting two Alpha lions in one pride. They will kill each other.]

Mimi Chen: [Hai Harmony is a great dancer but some of you would rather hate her than admit the truth. I think her career has been stagnating lately so if Phoenix Ent can do for her what they did for Jian Yu, I support her move.]

The robber: [I bet ten thousand yuan on Bei Qing winning this fight; the emperor is stronger than the king.]

In B city, Bei Qing who was sleeping because he was up all night filming was rudely woken up by his manager.

"I told you not to wake me up before five." He said coldly. "Do you want to see me in a bad mood?"

His manager laughed nervously and replied, "My action emperor, your visit to phoenix entertainment was leaked to the paparazzi, the boss wants to know if you are planning to breach your contract and join phoenix Ent?"

Bei Qing scoffed and said, "Tell him I am sleeping." With that he dismissed his manager and went back to sleeping.

The manager was left helpless in this situation, stuck between the boss of the company and Bei Qing who could be unruly when he wanted.

He sighed and left the hotel room, why did the peep star have to be everywhere and create trouble?
