Chapter 600 - 311: Going on a Rampage! Cornered at the Hotel
Ning Qiang was so furious at the Internet Celebrity Young Master’s Weibo post he felt like he could spit blood.
His friend leaned over to look at the content and was stunned.
"Fuck, seems like anyone can be a director these days. Cost me a car, but I’m a man of my word and I’ll admit when I’ve lost!"
Beneath the text, he had even attached a photo of a Porsche 918 with the caption, "Time to find you a new owner."
The meaning was crystal clear.
After all, this young master had made a bet with Chen Jincheng over two movies: *Nameless* and *Huaxia Blue Helmets*. This post was a clear admission that he had lost and that *Huaxia Blue Helmets* was going to bomb.
No wonder Ning Qiang was so angry.
Ning Qiang was speechless. "At a time like this, when everyone else is already smearing me online, one of our own goes and stabs us in the back! Doesn’t he realize how badly this will turn the public narrative against us?"
"Doesn’t he know his family’s Dawan Cinema is one of the investors?"
His friend agreed that the young master’s actions were idiotic.
Ning Qiang already had a short fuse, and this was more than he could take. He immediately fired back on Weibo: "No wonder he managed to lose the entire 500 million his family gave him. He’s just a brainless, clueless wastrel."
"Is that really a good idea? Considering who he is..." his friend said hesitantly.
"Hmph. He’s the one acting like an idiot. Why should I show him any respect?" Ning Qiang was completely incensed now, ready to take on anyone.
The internet, however, immediately blew up.
No one had expected that the affair between Chen Jincheng and Director Ning would suddenly escalate into a flame war between the director and the Internet Celebrity Young Master.
The most baffling part was the Internet Celebrity Young Master’s move.
His own family’s cinema chain was an investor in *Huaxia Blue Helmets*.
For him to suddenly surrender to Chen Jincheng was tantamount to sabotaging his own movie—an act of pure treason.
No wonder Director Ning flew into a rage and immediately hit him where it hurt.
The young master’s venture, Black Cat TV, had just collapsed, after all.
The director’s jab was vicious and drew blood.
「In the hotel.」
The Internet Celebrity Young Master was already on the phone with Chen Jincheng. "President Chen, I’ve already arranged to have the car shipped to Coastal City. You can have someone there to receive it. I’ll come to Coastal City myself to handle the ownership transfer with you."
「In the hotel lobby.」
Chen Jincheng was sitting in the lounge with Li Xiaoyang nestled in his arms, quietly watching him take the call.
Little Su Fei and Sun Yifan had already gone shopping, saying they wanted to buy some lacy little things to model for him.
He was a little surprised by the Internet Celebrity Young Master’s words. "Young Master Wang, the bet isn’t settled yet, is it? The box office projections for *Huaxia Blue Helmets* are still higher right now."
The Internet Celebrity Young Master replied with a sigh, "I saw both movies last night. I’m not going to kid myself. I can afford to lose a car."
Chen Jincheng smiled when he heard that.
’This young master could be a bit wild at times, and he definitely had a temper, willing to take a shot at anyone. But one thing had to be admitted: whether in this world or the other one, his public image was surprisingly good.’
’What’s more, people generally thought his values were in the right place. He was very down-to-earth, never going out with a huge entourage. He was more likely to be seen in shorts and flip-flops, eating at a roadside stall, giving off the vibe of a regular guy.’
’And just like any other regular guy, he had a thing for female internet celebrities.’
’Crucially, he’d dated countless influencers without a single public scandal. Plenty of girls were happy to throw themselves at him because he was incredibly generous. During their relationships, he’d spoil them with endless shopping sprees, and even if things didn’t lead to marriage, he always paid a handsome "breakup fee."’
’He absolutely never took anything for free.’
’He didn’t even mind when his ex-girlfriends leveraged his fame to build their own careers as influencers and make money.’
’Simply put, aside from not being handsome and changing girlfriends a bit too often, he not only understood women, but he was also generous and not a scumbag. It seemed he’d never even cheated on anyone.’
’In that regard, the young master was only slightly worse than me. After all, I’ve never changed girlfriends—because I’ve never had one to change.’
’Staying single means you’re invincible.’
Now, hearing his words, Chen Jincheng felt he should add one more thing to that mental list: ’He’s also a man who can afford to lose.’
So, he gave him another tip. "Young Master Wang, I’ll be taking over the LeTV Film and Television division soon. I’ll have some projects in the works. If you trust my judgment and you’re interested, you might want to get in on them."
’For some of these film projects, if the young master wanted to get involved in the production, he should be able to get a piece of the action.’
On the other end of the line, the Internet Celebrity Young Master froze for a second.
This was the second time he had heard Chen Jincheng say something like this.
And hearing it this time, it felt completely different.
After hanging up, he began to think about it seriously.
After all, Chen Jincheng had already proven his keen eye for the film industry.
Just then, Lin Gou suddenly said, "Wang, that Ning Qiang guy responded to you on Weibo. His comeback is pretty vicious."
Hearing this, the Internet Celebrity Young Master immediately opened Weibo and saw Ning Qiang’s post.
’Damn it,’ he thought. ’So I tell a little truth, and he decides to air my dirty laundry?’
He wasn’t about to take that lying down.
He opened Weibo and fired right back: "Yeah, I lost 500 million, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know a bad movie when I see one. For fuck’s sake, that thing was a pile of shit. I couldn’t even make it halfway through."
This post went straight for the jugular, giving no quarter.
But as soon as he posted it, the comments section exploded, with countless netizens flocking to watch the drama unfold.
The crucial thing was, a huge number of people were on the Internet Celebrity Young Master’s side, leaving a flood of comments:
"Holy shit, Young Master is saying what we’re all thinking! I was just about to post the same thing."
"Haha, I also thought *Huaxia Blue Helmets* was a pile of shit."
"And that director claims all the bad reviews are from paid trolls. I bought my own ticket, so fuck his ’trolls’ theory."
"..."
Just like that, the Internet Celebrity Young Master’s post was pushed to the top of the trending charts.
Amidst all this, the Internet Celebrity Young Master suddenly received a phone call. It was from Dawan Film and Television. "Young Master Wang, we hope you’ll delete that post. It is, after all, a film our company has invested in. Whatever your personal feelings, you should consider the bigger picture..."
