Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 736 - 745: Misfortune Comes Out of the Blue

People often say that success requires strength, opportunity, and the support of influential people, of which, both opportunity and the support of influencers are matters of luck.

Many talented individuals remain gloomy due to lack of recognition, while those who usually have better luck with influential backing or have a bit of good fortune are there, giving orders and making judgments.

The world never lacks for talent; talent is, in fact, the cheapest commodity in the world, far inferior to some technically skilled workers who are more in demand.

So Yu Rou understood this very well, and she was clear that Ye Ling understood too, but he preferred not to discuss it further, lest it changed the meaning between them.

The two ordered six dishes, three meat and three vegetarian, and also a bottle of red wine, but of course, it wasn't an '82 Lafite.

Anybody who's truly from high society wouldn't believe in '82 Lafite. The winery only produces so much wine in a year; just the sales in China alone would suffice for ten years of their production.

Once the dishes were served and the wine was opened, Yu Rou waved the waiter away, as she still wasn't accustomed to having someone else around while eating.

"Brother Ye, I'll toast to you. Let's drink to our heart's content today. I'm free this afternoon and I guess you are too, right?"

Yu Rou smiled softly and passed half a glass of red wine to Ye Ling, who nodded, "What could I possibly have to do? If the dozen or so women at home can't even take care of four kids, they might as well be dead."

Hearing Ye Ling say that, Yu Rou was momentarily stunned. My goodness, a dozen women, four children?

"By the way, I saw that you were getting into reality shows. In Xiangjiang, I noticed you're breaking into the film industry. You're originally a singer—when are you going to break into the television industry? When that happens, you're really going to make it big!"

"Win a few Best Actress awards, Best Singer, Best TV Actress and all. Anyone coming from our house needs to be awesome, better than anyone else."

Suddenly energized, Ye Ling chuckled, and Yu Rou next to him shook her head, "I've already won Best Singer, that's my profession, the rest will happen in its own time."

Those far removed from the entertainment industry always find it filled with mystique, and Ye Ling was no exception, even though he was rich and powerful.

With the heart of a gossip, Ye Ling kept asking Yu Rou about the entertainment circle, leading to a discussion about one particular person—King Liu.

Yu Rou nodded, "King Liu is really something else, a great big brother who genuinely wants to support the younger generation. I've heard from many in the circle that they owe their rise to King Liu's support. Besides, he's not all high and mighty."

"Naturally, there's a reason he's still called the King after so many years in the entertainment business."

"Compared to people like Chao Wei, Li Ming, and the like, overall, they still fall short of him."

"There's no helping it. He's the best singer in the movie industry, the most investment-savvy in the singing industry, and he's got the highest acting skills in the investment industry. These days, you've got to be an all-rounder."

Ye Ling said jokingly, while Yu Rou next to him nodded continuously, as if everything Ye Ling said was gospel truth.

They were chatting away when suddenly someone kicked the door open, causing Ye Ling to start, and Yu Rou's face immediately darkened.

Five men dressed in black walked in, the leader with short hair and a scar on his face, marched directly into the room and pulled up a chair to sit down.

"Manager, I'm just asking, this is the room I booked, so how come other people are sitting here?"

The seated man spoke coldly, then glanced over at Ye Ling and Yu Rou, pausing briefly before chuckling, "Tsk tsk, what do we have here? If it isn't the famous star Yu Rou."

"Yo, what's up? Hiding here to steal a man, are we? Come on, guys, take a look, this is the famous Ice Snow Goddess, and this is what she's really like!"

Upon seeing Yu Rou, the man exclaimed in surprise, then glanced at Ye Ling and clicked his tongue, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your taste isn't that great, huh? What's with keeping a country bumpkin?"

If this had happened in the past, Ye Ling would have slapped this guy to death already, but now, he just smiled lightly and shook his head.

The manager quickly closed the door to prevent the customers outside from hearing the commotion inside, then bowed and smiled while stooping, "Big Brother, this room was reserved for you for over an hour."

"You didn't show up, so we gave it to this lady and gentleman instead. How about this, we have another private room you can go to first?"

The manager explained hurriedly. The seated man didn't speak, but a man standing behind him sneered, "Looks like your crappy place doesn't want to stay in business!"

"Do you know who this is? This is Brother Bear, and you didn't bother to find out. I'm telling you, get lost if you know what's good for you, or I'll cripple you!"

The final words were directed at Ye Ling and Yu Rou. Ye Ling's eyes momentarily hardened, but then he resumed his usual expression.

These scumbags weren't worth it; of course, it was because he was now a spent force, no longer as bold as before, but the aura of a king was still there.

"Gentlemen, we've already booked this room. I think if you want to make trouble, you should talk it over with the restaurant. What do you think?"

Ye Ling stood up, and Yu Rou, who was by his side, also stood up anxiously. She could tell that these guys weren't easy to deal with.

Dragon Lord, watching Ye Ling rise, laughed disdainfully, while his henchman sneered viciously, "Take a piss and look at yourself."

"Don't think that just because you're hanging out with a celebrity you're something special. I'll tell you, Dragon Lord has played with more celebrities than you can count. You know who so-and-so is, right? They wouldn't dare offend Dragon Lord either!"

"So get lost quick, or else my fists won't show mercy!"

As he spoke, four burly men started walking towards Ye Ling, causing the manager to quickly step forward, "Brother, Brother, please calm down. It's our restaurant's fault today, let's switch private rooms, and we'll waive all your charges for today, okay?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying Dragon Lord doesn't have the money to eat here?"

"I need you to waive my bill? What are you worth? Get out of my way!"

With that, Dragon Lord pushed the manager aside and walked up to Ye Ling, sneering coldly, "Kid, I'm asking you, are you going to scram by yourself or do you want Dragon Lord to make you?"

As he spoke, Dragon Lord picked up the red wine from the table, "Tsk, tsk, this is some nice wine, but I wonder what it feels like to have it smashed over someone's head. Do you know?"

Ye Ling shook his head with a smile, "I really don't know, haven't tried it."

Creak, the atmosphere tensed, and Dragon Lord's eyelids twitched several times.

"Heh, good! Good! A fine 'haven't tried it'!"

Just as Dragon Lord was about to make a move, the door suddenly opened, and a group of people walked in.
