Awoken

The next morning, Joel received an invite to lunch from the boss of Hong Village Film and Television.

Joel had never come in contact with Hong Village before, but they were quite noteworthy in Beijing. So, he arrived on time to build his network.

However, Joel had no idea that this was all a part of Annie and her cousin's plan. Joel simply thought they wanted to collaborate.

Annie's cousin went by the surname of Xie. He claimed to be the boss of Hong Village because he owned some of the shares, but in reality, his father was the one that called the shots.

However, his father did not like Annie. So, he never helped her.

"Director An, you've been very popular in the industry lately..." Tony Xie stood up from the table in a welcoming manner and stuck out his right arm, "I'm really thankful for your appearance today."
