Chapter 169 There is a problem with understanding
The Red Dragon King's face froze. Although the wooden floor had been laid back and even re-waxed by careful renovation workers, traces of renovation could still be seen on it.
“Could it be…” The Red Dragon King’s heart sank.
He glanced at the deputy beside him, who immediately called in several young and strong men: "Lift up these floors."
After the wooden floor was lifted up, the freshly laid cement on the ground was exposed, with new and old marks intertwined on it. It was obvious that it had been repaired not long ago.
"Smash it open! Use some force!" The Red Dragon King almost roared.
It was the first time that the people around him saw him lose his composure like this. Even his deputy was startled by him, wondering what had happened to the floor that had offended him.
The younger brother who was in charge of breaking the ground thought to himself that there was a foundation underground and there was nothing hidden there, so what was the point of breaking it up?
But he didn't expect that the hammer would directly smash a hole in it.
Under the scorching gaze of the Red Dragon King, the younger brother hit the ground with a few hammers, and the secret room under the ground was completely revealed to the public.
But now there are no boxes of gold left, only rotten wood and various construction waste.
"Jump down and take a look." The Red Dragon King casually pointed at one of his younger brothers and sent him down.
The younger brother looked through it carefully and shook his head helplessly: "Grandpa, there are no treasures under there, only junk."
The Red Dragon King's face was as dark as a cloud, and he was practically gritting his teeth: "Xu, You, You!"
He walked out of the basement with a gloomy face. As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw a group of people surrounding him, waving IOUs.
"Pay back! It's only natural to pay back a debt..."
The bald man wearing a big gold chain had just shouted when he saw that the person who appeared was the thin and ugly-looking Red Dragon King. The words he wanted to curse were immediately swallowed in his throat.
The Red Dragon King glanced over.
The bald man's momentum suddenly weakened by three points. He shrank his neck and said, "Why are you here? I came to see Zhu Ailian. She bought this villa."
There are few people in this area who don’t know the Red Dragon King.
Although I haven't had much dealings with him, I know that he has deep connections in the wealthy circle, is well-connected in both the white and black worlds, and even has overseas businesses.
The last gang that provoked the Red Dragon King was thrown abroad by the Red Dragon King before the official took any action, and there has been no news of them since then.
The Red Dragon King ignored the bald man without even looking at him and drove away with a gloomy face.
Although the bald man was unhappy, he did not dare to show any disrespect. After the Red Dragon King left, he gathered other creditors and rushed forward to surround the Red Dragon King's deputy.
"Master Li, this debt follows the house. Even though the house has fallen into the hands of the Dragon King, the debt has not been eliminated!"
Some people tried to beg: "That's right, the Dragon King has a great family and great wealth, he will definitely not owe us such a small debt!"
There were also creditors who tried to threaten us: "If you don't give us the money today, we will surround this place and won't let you leave!"
The Red Dragon King's deputy had always been extremely respectable over the years, but this was the first time he encountered such a difficult situation. The crowd pushed and shoved, and his crisp suit became wrinkled. He could only say helplessly, "Stop, don't be anxious, let's talk slowly."
Xu Youyou didn't know whether the Red Dragon King had paid back the money. After nearly a month of publicity, the offline live casting for her role in "Dream of Red Mansions" just started today.
The offline screening event was held in the event hall of a high-end hotel in Shanghai. Xu Youyou only rented it for five days because she planned to conduct the one-month offline auditions in batches in six major cities across the country with the judges, which would save the contestants from flying all over the country.
Although anyone can sign up for this audition, those who are able to obtain an audition pass and come offline have all gone through a preliminary screening. It can be said that nine out of ten people are screened out in the initial screening.
The first round of screening is to submit photos and register on a specially opened website. After the screening, the contestants can choose the time to go for offline review.
Today is the first day of offline screening. There are a total of six judges, including Xu Youyou, Professor Wu, Xie Ran, Ouyang Ouyang, the company's chief stylist Wang Anna, and another mobile judge, whoever is free in the company will come.
Today's mobile judge is Song Zhibai. As soon as he arrived on the scene, he immediately caused screams from the contestants present.
Song Zhibai has now become popular thanks to a drama and is the fastest rising male god. The contestants who came today felt that even if they did not advance to the next round, they had already made a lot of money by being able to see the top star Song Zhibai with their own eyes.
"They like you so much, Xiao Song. You are really famous." Xu Youyou joked with a smile.
Song Zhibai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked Xu Youyou seriously: "They like me, what about you, boss?"
Song Zhibai not only has an extremely superior facial feature, he also has a pair of extremely deep eyes. At this moment, Xu Youyou was stared at by him so seriously and attentively that she suddenly felt a little flustered.
Xu Youyou cursed Song Zhibai in her heart for being a foul, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Of course I like you too. You're my cash cow."
Song Zhibai's eyes darkened when he heard this. With such an answer, it was obvious that Xu Youyou still didn't really take him seriously.
The selection officially started, and the first female contestant who walked in caught everyone's attention with her appearance. Xu Youyou looked down at the information card she received and realized that this contestant wanted to compete for the role of Lin Daiyu.
"My name is Zheng Shuying. Ever since I was little, my parents have always said that my frail and delicate appearance is very similar to Lin Daiyu. Although I think Lin Daiyu is sarcastic and calculating, I still want to try this role..."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Professor Wu beside her said directly, "Lin Daiyu is not a sarcastic or mean person."
Zheng Shuying was unhappy and said, "She started a fight over a palace flower. Doesn't she care about things?"
Xu Youyou had no way to deal with this person, so she turned and said, "Tell me about your understanding of the character Xia Jingui."
Zheng Shuying asked, "Who is Xia Jingui?"
Xu Youyou was stunned. She thought Zheng Shuying was beautiful, and even if she couldn't play Daiyu, she could try other equally beautiful roles. But she was suddenly confused by her question and couldn't help but ask, "How much of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' have you read?"
Zheng Shuying said, "After watching the selection of palace flowers, I felt that Lin Daiyu was too stingy and unlikable, so I continued watching."
Xu Youyou: ...
Xu Youyou felt that she didn't need to activate the role compatibility comparison card, and said, "Your understanding of the role is problematic. You are not suitable for this role. Please let the next person come in."
Zheng Shuying's appearance was actually very good. Although she was wearing makeup, Wang Anna beside her could see that she had a very good foundation. She couldn't help but say:
"Boss, it seems she hasn't had any plastic surgery. It's a shame to eliminate her like this."
