Chapter 77: An Unexpected Way Out
Chapter 77: An Unexpected Way Out
Qiao Xin hated Tang Tu for really punching him in the scene. Feng Qingyu hated Yang Huayue for scolding her on Weibo. Liu Man simply became a punching bag for Qiao Xin and Feng Qingyu to vent out their anger
Ye Zian was such a smart person and could see the issues at his first glance. He was only a bit drunk, and now he was feeling completely conscious. What was a team most afraid of? A team would fall apart if people disagree and fight against each other. Now, in Ye Zian’s cast, his leads were standing on opposing sides. At this point, he couldn’t side with any of them, or else how would they film the rest of the movie?
Tang Tu still wanted to help Liu Man.
Qiu Jing grabbed his sleeves and shook her head gently, her eyes telling him, “Don’t be arrogant.”
Tang Tu’s fists were clenched, loosened, and then clenched again before finally slumping on his sides. The adult world could not tolerate such willfulness. In this world, with powerful and rich ones, nobody was afraid of anyone else. Qiao Xin and Feng Qingyu were not vegetarians. Today, if he suppressed them, tomorrow they would find some evil ways to kill him.
Liu Man watched as everyone who tried to help her out got targeted and embarrassed. She felt very sorry.
She still said to the others with a smile on her face, “I have never drunk before, so I don’t know if I can drink. I’ll give it a try. What if my liquor capacity is good?”
There was a self-deprecating meaning in her tone, and at the same time, she saved Tang Tu and Yang Huayue, who failed when they wanted to help her.
Seeing the fate of Tang Tu and Yang Huayue, no one in the room dared to help Liu Man anymore. Let alone help, everyone loved the farce.
Liu Man picked up an empty glass on the table and filled it with Maotai. She smelled the alcohol first. After all, it was the famous Moutai. It choked a bit, but it smelled good. Liu Man relaxed and stopped entangling about it. She planned to finish it in one mouthful, just like how Yang Huayue did.
At this moment, the front door of the room was suddenly opened, and four young men walked in. The room was noisy. Many left their seats and were drinking, toasting, chatting, forcing others to drink, and laughing. No one paid attention to them for quite a while.
Only Ye Zian’s assistant saw that one of the men was Ye Zian’s younger brother, Ye Ziliang.
“Director Ye, your brother is here,” the assistant ran over and whispered in Ye Zian’s ear.
At this time, Ye Zian had no time to worry about whether Liu Man was toasting, so he left his seat and walked quickly towards Ye Ziliang. Ye Zian was the center of the venue, the focus. When he moved, others’ eyes followed. They all looked curiously in the direction he was walking. The people at the dinner party seemed to have a tacit understanding and gradually calmed down. There were faint whispers, asking each other who these four people were.
The one on the far right looked very much like Ye Zian. He just looked a little younger and had softer features. Even if most people had never seen Ye Zian’s younger brother, they could still guess that this person was a relative of Ye Zian.
The one on the far left was mediocre-looking, but he was still covered by luxury brands from head to toe. He inadvertently raised his hand to reveal the expensive watch on his wrist. The diamonds on the watch were illuminated by the crystal chandelier and reflected into a bright light that could blind one’s eyes.
The most eye-catching one was the one in the middle. His attire was not as high-profile as the man on the left, but he had a good figure — his legs were slender and straight, his back was straight with every step, and his simple clothes resembled his taste. He had short hair that was clean and refreshing, and his whole body was not too much modified and he had a graceful and elegant posture, which was amazing.
He walked with the man who looked slightly shorter beside him. They both seemed to be superhuman. They looked the same extraordinary, and there was the same calmness in their gestures.
Seeing this person, Liu Man was shocked and stupefied. Her wine glass almost fell to the ground.
Why would Yu Zhan appear here?
Yu Zhan turned his head to stare at her. He then smiled at her with a slightly mischievous grin, as if Liu Man’s reaction was as funny and cute as he expected.
Was this New Year’s surprise enough for her?
Under everyone’s watch,
Ye Ziliang led the three other men to the main table, “Brother, sorry for being a bit late.”
“You just realized? We are almost done with our meal, and there’s almost no wine left,” Ye Zian scolded his brother as he looked at the trio behind Ye Ziliang. He hadn’t got the chance to ask before Qiu Jing and Gao Jindong went up.
Gao Jindong’s expression looked the opposite from before when he glared coldly at Yang Huayue. Now, his face was in a huge smile as he talked to the young man beside Yu Zhan,
“President He, what are you doing here?”
He Lushen smiled, “My friends and I are also having dinner here. It’s such a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you and Mrs. Qiu,” he said to Qiu Jing again, “Mrs. Qiu, you drank a little tonight. Your face looks ruddy, and you look even more radiant and attractive.”
Every woman likes to be praised by the opposite sex. He Lushen’s words won Qiu Jing’s heart. Qiu Jing smiled and said to Ye Zian,
“Come on, let me introduce to you. He is He Lushen, the deputy general manager of Huaguang Media.”
Hearing Qiu Jing’s introduction, everyone present was shocked. Most of them were unfamiliar with the name, He Lushen, but no one was unfamiliar with Huaguang Media.
He Huaguang, the founder of Huaguang Media, was a legend. He started from scratch and worked hard on his own to establish Huaguang Media, which now occupied more than half of the Chinese-speaking entertainment industry. Huaguang Media was also the first domestic film and TV entertainment company listed in America.
Ye Zian shook hands with He Lushen, and He Lushen purposely examined Ye Zian. After all, it was rare for Yu Zhan to ask him about anyone.
Ye Zian was very embarrassed by his stare and coughed deliberately.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce to you all,” He Lushen gestured at the famous man beside him as if he just remembered as he said to Gao Jindong and the others, “He’s Cheng Sheng, the owner of Quan Jing Hotel.”
Quan Jing Hotel. Wasn’t that where they were having the party right now?
This man was the boss of this hotel. He looked as if he was no more than thirty-years-old. Everyone felt incredible by how young he looked.
Cheng Sheng skillfully handed his business cards to a few people, looking like an experienced businessman, “Thank you very much for coming to our hotel. It is a rare occasion, as you are referred to by my friend. I will give you a 10% discount on the bill tonight.”
Although Qiu Jing and Ye Zian have been staying at Quan Jing Hotel all this time, they have never met Cheng Sheng or knew him, and they didn’t understand what he meant. Who was the referrer?
Ye Zian also looked confused. He looked at his tardy brother and asked him, “How did you know these three people.”
Ye Ziliang smiled and explained his brother’s confusion, “Don’t I own two pets? During this time, I often go to a pet clinic to give them body checks. He is Yu Zhan, both a veterinarian and the owner of that pet clinic.”
Ye Ziliang then pointed at the most eye-catching man in all of his three companies.
