Chapter 215 Extra - Liao Qian and Wu Cheng Part 3

That day, Mier called her and asked her to go eat hotpot together.

She came out of the event and went straight to the hot pot restaurant. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the private room, she saw that familiar figure.

He is much more mature than before, and exudes the cultivation and demeanor of a successful man. Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he looks gentle and restrained. When he looks at people, he gives people a sense of indifference and alienation.

When she saw him again and looked into his eyes, Liao Qian paused for just a second before looking away.

The reason is simple. What happened in the past is too long ago, so long ago that she doesn't want to recall it, including the person in front of her, nor does she want to get involved in it again.

During the hot pot meal, they only spoke briefly when she asked him to get some water.

He seemed not to remember her, and she didn't want to talk about the past anymore.

After that meal, she thought they would never have any more contact.

Until that day, the agent Sister Qiao said that she had obtained a movie script, which was a financing project negotiated between the company and a certain investor.

She is needed to attend a drinking party.

When she arrived, she saw that the other party's representative was actually Wu Cheng.

He sat at the top, wearing a brown suit and frameless glasses. He looked serious and calm, and his every move was meticulous. He calmly accepted the flattery of several senior executives of the company.

She and Sister Qiao sat at the lower table, listening quietly to their conversation.

"Mr. Wu, it is our honor to cooperate with you this time."

"You know Xixi, right? I plan to let her take the lead this time. Xixi, why are you standing there? Go and toast to Mr. Wu."

Liao Qian was suddenly called to attention and glanced at the man sitting above her. He just happened to raise his eyelids and look over. The two looked at each other briefly for a second, and then he calmly looked away, as if it was just a casual action.

Sister Qiao touched her arm under the table and signaled her to go quickly. After all, many artists in the company were eyeing this opportunity.

Liao Qian pursed her lips, picked up the cup, stood up from her chair, and walked a few steps to Wu Cheng's side. Looking at his very familiar profile, she let out a long breath and said in a clear voice, "Mr. Wu, I toast to you and wish us a happy cooperation."

After she finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, from the wine glass in her hand all the way to her face, and asked in a neutral tone, "Sissi?"

"Ah?" Liao Qian was puzzled. Her name was changed, but the pronunciation was still the same as the original one. However, this word had multiple pronunciations, and he actually read it as another pronunciation, xi.

I don't understand what he means.

But he didn't say anything else. He lowered his cup and clinked it with hers. "Have a good time."

Then he drank it politely.

Liao Qian collected her thoughts, drank the wine, and returned to her seat.

Upon seeing this, several senior executives of the company knew that the investors had no objection and the person should have been confirmed.

After the dinner, Wu Cheng took his coat and left first, and then they stood up.

Liao Qian followed them, but she didn't expect to meet an uninvited guest as soon as she walked out.

The producer who had been splashed with wine by her before saw her and stood in front of her, "You bitch, it's you again."

Sister Qiao quickly stood in front of Liao Qian and said, "Producer Wang, we need to talk."

"Make her kneel down and apologize to me, otherwise, she won't be able to leave today." Producer Wang pointed at Liao Qian's nose and cursed.

Sister Qiao glanced at several senior executives of the company walking in front of her, who were looking over here. Their eyes seemed to be hinting at her not to make a big deal out of it and to deal with it quickly.

Judging from their expressions, they don't intend to do anything about it. After all, in their eyes, artists are just tools for them to make money.

They don't care at all if they are wronged or suffer a loss.

But Sister Qiao felt that the producer was going too far. It was clearly he who spoke disrespectfully first, so why should Xixi apologize first?

"Producer Wang, that's all in the past. Look, Xixi is still young and naive. Wouldn't it be better if we could just make a big deal out of a small matter and a small matter out of nothing?"

Sister Qiao's words were useless. The producer persisted, "If she doesn't apologize today, I'll have someone kill her."

Liao Qian listened and let out a long breath. She looked past the company's senior executives to the figure in front. She didn't expect that he would see her in such an embarrassing state.

She was about to say something when she saw the figure move. He walked over and asked, "Wang Jiang, who did you just say you wanted to kill?"

Wang Jiang suddenly heard someone talking, but he didn't realize who it was. He took over the conversation and said, "This bitch..."

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked hard in the waist from behind and almost fell flat on his face.

He steadied himself and cursed, "Who kicked me..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the person coming and his eyes widened. "Mr. Wu...Mr. Wu, why is it you?"

Wu Cheng looked at him calmly, "Excuse me, I'm just stretching my legs. Wang Jiang, why are you blocking my way?"

This means he asked for it.

Wang Jiang's face was extremely ugly, but thinking about his own investment and still relying on the other party, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I accidentally fell."

Seeing Wu Cheng obviously standing up for Xixi, several senior executives of the company were dumbfounded. People in this industry don't like to meddle in other people's business.

Sister Qiao directly regarded Wu Cheng as her savior, because if it weren’t for him, today’s matter might not have ended well.

Liao Qian saw everything from the moment Wu Cheng made his move. She clenched her hands quietly in the outer pocket of her coat. She couldn't describe her mood at the moment, but she felt that the rhythm of her heartbeat was slightly disordered.

Seeing Wu Cheng taking action, several senior executives of the company came out to smooth things over. Wang Jiang knew that he would not gain any benefit, so he turned and left.

"Mr. Wu, thank you for this time." Sister Qiao was sincerely grateful.

Several senior executives glanced at Wu Cheng and Xixi, secretly wondering, could it be that this arrogant boss has taken a fancy to Xixi?

But Wu Cheng quickly dispelled their concerns, "It's okay, I just can't stand it."

When he said this, his eyes inadvertently slid to Liao Qian's face, then retracted, "I'll go first."

After saying that, he strode towards the door.

Several senior executives of the company followed behind to see him off.

Liao Qian reacted quickly and handed everything in her hand to Sister Qiao. "Sister Qiao, please help me take it back to the car. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he ran to catch up with the figure in front.

The company's senior management watched Wu Cheng get into the car and left.

When Liao Qian came out, the black Bentley had not left yet, so she went over and knocked on the rear window.

The car window rolled down. Wu Cheng didn't look at her, but looked ahead. "What's the matter?"

Liao Qian saw that the driver was still sitting in the front and was about to cut to the chase, "Thank you for what happened just now."

She felt it necessary to thank him. After all, he had helped her just now.

"Thank me for what?"

"Just...that thing you helped me with just now."

Wu Cheng put his arm on the car window and said, "Oh, I had forgotten."

Forgot? What did he mean by that? Did he forget something that just happened? Or did he say that on purpose, hinting at something?
