Cafe.

Li Chengyou picked up the coffee and took a sip, then slowly put it down, raised his head slightly and looked at the young man opposite.

The young man's name is An Zhihao, a professional paparazzi, with a medium build, average appearance, and is about 25 or 26 years old. At this moment, he looked at Li Chengyou with a smile on his face, took out a few photos, and placed them in front of Li Chengyou.

"Li Chengyouxi, this is a photo, you can take a look at it first."

Li Chengyou lowered his head and glanced at the photo. The photo was of him and Lin Zhiyan. After a brief glance, Li Chengyou raised his head, too lazy to look at it again.

Looking at An Zhihao, Li Chengyou said: "Is this the bargaining chip in your hand?"

An Zhihao smiled faintly and asked, "How much does Mr. Li Chengyou think these chips of mine are worth?"

Li Chengyou chuckled and shook his head: "Frankly speaking...it's worthless!"

An Zhihao was stunned and frowned.

Li Chengyou laughed again and said: "You don't really think that I will be afraid of your exposure, do you? The man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, and they have collaborated on a movie together, so I think it is not something worth making a fuss about that they have a good impression of each other. Even so.

You exposed my relationship with Lin Zhiyan, and the worst I can do is admit it, so how much do you think these photos are worth?"

An Zhihao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "Since Li Chengyouxi is not afraid of exposure, why did you agree to meet me?"

Li Chengyou smiled and said: "Curious."

"Curious?" An Zhihao looked confused.

Li Chengyou said: "Yes. Curious. I'm curious. Ordinarily, I'm not an artist. Even if I become famous because of a movie, the audience cares more about the actors and content when watching the movie, and actually pays little attention to the director.

In other words, unless the director causes a big scandal, news such as love affairs will not get much attention at all. So I am very curious as to why you would focus on me and waste your time on me."

An Zhihao was silent and suddenly smiled: "Li Chengyouxi, you are so humble. A director who has achieved success at such a young age like you is not just a little famous."

Li Chengyou glanced at An Zhihao and smiled dumbly: "No matter how young a director is, he is just a director. To the public, gossip about artists is much more attractive than directors. And when it comes to artists, Lin Jiyan has just debuted. She has

There's no enthusiasm either, so I'm wondering why you waste your time on us."

After a pause, Li Chengyou said again, "I think you actually know this very well. If it weren't for the fact that our gossip is not attractive to the public, you probably wouldn't have contacted us today just after taking a photo of us yesterday.

I trade. Or maybe you think I’m young and easy to deceive, so you want to catch me off guard, thinking that this way I will be defeated by you?”

An Zhihao opened his mouth slightly, with a look of shock on his face.

He didn't expect that Li Chengyou was so shrewd and could guess his thoughts right away.

The reason why he followed Li Chengyou after getting the information from the informant was that he expected to make a quick buck from Li Chengyou.

After all, Li Chengyou is only in his early twenties and has just entered the entertainment industry. He is relatively immature in terms of age and experience. Therefore, if he can catch Li Chengyou's "handle" and put a little pressure on him with words, Li Chengyou will be defeated by him if he is even slightly weak.

A serious blackmail.

He even planned out his words.

Lee Seung-woo is a director and Lim Ji-yeon is an actress. Once the gossip between the director and the actress is exposed and then hyped as a behind-the-scenes deal, it will definitely have a big impact on Lee Seung-woo's reputation.

certainly.

These are all the words he used to deceive Li Chengyou.

In fact, considering the age of Lee Seung-woo and Lim Ji-yeon, even if some gossip news is spread, it will not have much impact. Not many people will even pay attention to it, let alone arouse much public opinion.

Maybe others will just take a glance and chat a few words and then be too lazy to pay attention.

After all, as Lee Seung-woo said, compared to directors, the people who are more willing to pay attention and discuss are definitely well-known artists, not new directors like Lee Seung-woo or fledgling actors like Lim Ji-yeon.

What's more, Lee Seung-woo and Lim Ji-yeon are about the same age, so even exposing them would be of no use.

As Li Chengyou said, they can completely evade it by saying that they have a good impression of each other.

Unless there is an age difference of more than ten or twenty years between the two of them, there won't be much excitement at all.

That's why.

From the beginning to the end, An Zhihao's only thought was to take advantage of Li Chengyou's lack of experience to knock him off and make a fortune.

But who would have thought this guy was so smart?

Looking at Li Chengyou, An Zhihao felt depressed, feeling that all his previous efforts were in vain, as this guy didn't take the bait at all.

but.

Since this guy is willing to come to see him, he probably doesn't really care about privacy at all. But even if Li Chengyou agrees to trade with him, there is a high probability that the amount given will be far lower than he expected.

Thinking of this, An Zhihao sighed secretly and said: "Li Chengyouxi, that's all we have said, there is no need to waste any more time. Since you are willing to come over to meet me, there is no need to say some things too clearly.

I can give you both the photos and the negatives, and I guarantee that there will be no backups or leaks. In our line of work, you know that reputation is very important, so you can rest assured.

Now, there is only one question left.

Let's put it this way, I know that my job is despised by many people, but I can't help it, it's what I make a living from. I've been busy for a while, and I've paid for my time. Li Chengyouxi can't let me work like this in vain.

Bar?

No matter how much or how little, I hope Li Chengyouxi can understand that I still hope that my efforts will be rewarded. Otherwise..."

Speaking of this, An Zhihao stopped at the right time and did not continue talking.

There's no need to go on about it.

He knew that Li Chengyou could understand what he said, and Li Chengyou did understand.

But contrary to An Zhihao's expectation, Li Chengyou didn't pay attention to the photo, but instead mentioned the old story again.

Li Chengyou said: "We can talk about the photos later. What I want to know most now is the question just now. I'm curious, why are you suddenly interested in me?"

An Zhihao's eyes moved slightly but he said nothing.

Li Chengyou smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you can really solve my doubts, you have satisfied my curiosity, and I will definitely satisfy your expectations. Of course, the premise is that what I want to hear is the truth."

An Zhihao: "..."

His eyelids were slightly raised and his eyes flashed.

A few minutes later.

After saying goodbye to An Zhihao, Li Chengyou left the coffee shop.

Li Chengyou raised his head and looked at the clear sky. He stared at it for a moment and smiled to himself.

Man, that's really interesting.

Why do you have to ask for trouble when everything is fine?
