Qin Hong hung up the phone, his face full of confidence.

He believed Zhou Mo Sen was a smart man.

He would definitely call him back.

And as long as he called back, then it meant Qin Hong had won.

Qin Hong, this man, let's not say anything else, he had a deep understanding of men's psychology.

This had a lot to do with the Heaven on Earth he ran.

Speaking of that business of his, it really is... Some people say it's about the good location.

In the core area of Beijing.

Some say it's because the decor is impressive enough.

Indeed, he hadn't skimped on spending money on the decor, spending tens of millions.

Some others say it's because President Qin has a wide network.

That's not incorrect either, as Qin Hong did indeed know quite a few big shots.

However, none of these are the key.

The reason Heaven on Earth thrived is entirely because there was a Courtesan.

Many people probably wouldn't believe it.

Could it really be that simple?

This matter, if you say it's simple, it's simple; if you say it's not simple, it isn't simple.

But it is precisely because there was a Courtesan, so men would compete for her.

And why do men 'compete'?

Is it because the Courtesan is so beautiful?

Admittedly, she is very beautiful, but after the lights are off, isn't it all the same?

It's just another side path, is there much difference?

Especially when it comes to attractive looks, isn't it mostly reliant on makeup?

Qin Hong could say that those who came to spend money at his venue.

Were all veterans.

Those men, didn't they understand how big a difference there is with makeup on or off?

So, it's not because the Courtesan is that beautiful that they would compete.

Men compete for the Courtesan, and it's not even because of the Courtesan herself.

The Courtesan is actually a symbol.

A symbol of power.

This kind of thing has happened countless times throughout history worldwide.

Furthermore, you shouldn't assume the men competing for the Courtesan are just lowly.

Qin Hong is actually quite active in the cultural circle, he heard someone say that right now the most talented author in East Japan is Keigo Higashino.

No matter how you put it, his novels are currently bestselling.

But, why hasn't Keigo Higashino won any major awards for many years?

Like the Naoki Prize, he just couldn't get it.

There are rumors that it's because he competed for a Courtesan in Tokyo's Ginza with the veteran literary master Du Bianjunyi.

Du Bianjunyi is a towering figure in East Japan's literary world; the Naoki Prize is at the mercy of Du Bianjunyi.

So, Keigo Higashino couldn't obtain that Naoki Prize… Hehe…

See, it's not just Keigo Higashino; Du Bianjunyi also competed for the Courtesan.

Qin Hong also watched a film review.

It talked about the movie "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle," which was acted by Gao Yuanyuan.

And the review was about why the two boys in the movie fought over the bicycle like that.

Very simple, that bicycle actually held symbolic meaning.

It was no longer a mere Merida mountain bike; it actually symbolized power.

Yes, even kids understand this kind of logic.

So, when a man makes certain choices for a woman, it often has little to do with the woman herself.

Just like Lü Bu's flirtation with Diao Chan, in true history there was no Diao Chan at all.

Or like preferring the beauty more than the empire, in true history Li Yu losing his empire had nothing to do with a beauty, he was already no match against Chai Rong before he ascended.

Let alone the later Emperor Taizu of Song.

But, in the end, there must still be a woman involved.

This is exactly how Qin Hong maneuvered against Zhou Mo Sen.

On the surface, it focused on this girl Gao Yuanyuan.

But in reality, it was a showdown between the two of them.

Now Qin Hong has set the question, and you, Zhou Mo Sen, solve it.

If you solve it poorly, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Qin Hong was very confident, he thought Zhou Mo Sen would make that call.

And as long as the call came through, he would lead the journalists away.

As soon as the phone rang, it would mean Zhou Mo Sen lost.

It also meant Zhou Mo Sen would perform plastic surgery on him.

As for whether Zhou Mo Sen would sabotage the surgery.

Qin Hong sees this even more clearly.

Because as long as Zhou Mo Sen calls, it shows that Zhou Mo Sen is someone who considers the bigger picture, or thinks of others.

Moreover, he is a renowned doctor.

So, the plastic surgery would definitely be done well.

Qin Hong felt he was destined to win.

More so, he was actually not far outside Zhou Mo Sen's hotel now.

The guy indeed had some skill.

Just what Qin Hong never expected was that the call he waited for didn't come.

Instead, Zhou Mo Sen showed up!

If it were just Zhou Mo Sen walking out of the hotel, there really wouldn't be much to it.

After all, he was just a doctor, and although he had fame in the United States, this was France, this was Cannes.

This was where the Cannes Film Festival was taking place; his presence here as a doctor didn't carry much weight.

However, he was accompanied by someone.

Scarlett Johnson!

That changed everything.

Scarlett Johnson with a strange man? In a close manner?

What is happening?

Even if the reporters nearby the hotel, or outright, even those near Qin Hong were Chinese reporters.

But they also recognized Scarlett Johnson.

The movie "Escape from Clone Island" may not have been the opening film, but this movie was produced by Spielberg's DreamWorks!

In the current Chinese film circle, the most esteemed director is Spielberg.

So, these reporters immediately became involuntary.

They didn't give a thought to what was happening with Qin Hong, they directly went for this scoop!

This…one must know that the news about Wang Fei and Dou Wei back in the day was caught by Hong Kong reporters.

That's right, what they did in Beijing ended up being reported by Hong Kong journalists first.

What is this called?

This is called gossip knows no bounds!

Such gossip, grab it!

The reporters immediately surrounded Zhou Mo Sen and Scarlett Johnson, though they were still few people at this time.

But soon attracted a lot of foreign reporters.

It was opening night, and even though it was already late according to Cannes time, the journalists were certainly very active.

Who is this Chinese man?

Yes, many wanted to ask this question.

Scarlett Johnson's face was beaming with a smile, utterly ecstatic.

One must know, she naturally had raised corners of her mouth; she naturally had a face that knew how to smile brightly.

"Him? Ah? You actually don't recognize him? He's the most famous cosmetic surgeon in the United States!"

Straightforwardly, she directly introduced Zhou Mo Sen's profession.

This made Zhou Mo Sen look somewhat unhappy.

"Why are you… Saying that would make them think you're planning on getting surgery."

Zhou Mo Sen's comment was too amusing!

You're a cosmetic surgeon, well-known all over America.

If Scarlett Johnson is with you not for surgery, then what is it for?

Yes, this question has to be pursued!

How did Zhou Mo Sen respond?

"I've always been telling Miss Scarlett that she doesn't need cosmetic surgery, just the way she is."

Huh?

Just like that?

How could this answer satisfy anyone?

Yet the more it's like this, the better it is.

Isn't that how gossip arises?

Scarlett Johnson herself couldn't provide a clear answer either.

In any case, you journalists just go ahead and speculate!

Just like that, the two of them kept walking until a car arrived.

Yes, Scarlett Johnson was leaving, she was returning to the United States.

Though she hadn't planned on it originally, planning rather to have a good time with Zhou Mo Sen tonight.

But now… just go ahead.

Seeing her off into the car.

The reporters still didn't let go of Zhou Mo Sen.

What about Zhou Mo Sen?

"No comment!"

Yes, Zhou Mo Sen's face turned stern.

There was no need to say more, gossip had already taken shape!

The reporters were all very happy, even though they didn't get a definite answer.

But the less accurate it was, the better.

That's journalism.

What about Zhou Mo Sen?

Of course, he was also very happy because during this period, Gao Yuanyuan had already slipped away.

Crisis averted.

And as for Scarlett Johnson… She being able to agree to this plan naturally was also very happy.

Although nothing was said, it seemed as if the relationship between Scarlett Johnson and Zhou Mo Sen suddenly advanced.

So, who wasn't happy?

Qin Hong, who saw all of this!

This guy's cheeks puffed up, as if he were about to grind his teeth to dust!

He knew after this encounter, the likelihood of Zhou Mo Sen performing cosmetic surgery for him was very slim.

But, let's just wait and see!
