Chapter 210 The Water is Deep

Director Ma Xin's words immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

Zhuang Liqi chuckled: "Xiao Ma, you haven't even finished the three glasses of wine you promised to drink as punishment, but now you're keeping us in suspense!"

Ma Xin obviously did not expect the two leaders to have the leisure to make guesses, so he simply stopped procrastinating and drank the white wine in the glass.

The spicy and stimulating smell of alcohol instantly poured into his mouth, and he said loudly: "First glass!"

Then he changed the subject: "When I first came here, I passed by a VIP box. The waiter happened to open the door to serve the food. I curiously took a few glances inside. Hey, I saw the chairman inside."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became subtle.

Everyone looked at the producer Zhang Zhao with different expressions, some curious, some expectant. He was the one who had the most contact with Song Ci among the people present.

Zhuang Liqi's mind became active, and he asked quietly: "Boss Zhang, since the chairman is also having dinner here, should we go over and offer him a glass of wine?"

Zhang Zhao frowned slightly and asked again worriedly: "Xiao Ma, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Ma Xin quickly patted his chest and assured: "Mr. Song's face is so handsome, how could I be wrong?"

Zhang Zhao no longer questioned it, but he was suspicious of Zhuang Liqi's proposal. He knew Song Ci's character very well, and he never liked socializing.

Since he showed up at the Chang'an Club today, it was obvious that there was an important reception. If I went there rashly and disturbed the chairman's guest, it would be counterproductive.

However, it was a rare opportunity to meet the chairman outside, and he did not want to miss this opportunity that might make a deeper impression on the big boss.

Agent Zhao saw Zhang Zhao's hesitation and had some plans in mind. She wanted to use this opportunity to pave the way for Jing Tian and smiled and tested him:

"Mr. Zhang, if it's convenient, could you please help introduce Tian Tian to the chairman of your company?"

The little-known Ma Tianyu and Zhao Liying also stared at Zhang Zhao with great eagerness, hoping that he would take everyone to Song Ci to make himself familiar to them.

Zhang Zhao saw everyone's reactions and was speechless, including this group of people and the company's artists.

They all hope to rise to the top by clinging to the chairman, but they don't know that such a small matter in the entertainment industry will not be taken seriously by the big boss.

In the past, the chairman would occasionally inquire about the affairs of Tengda Culture, but over the past year, he has become less and less concerned about the business of the film and television company.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he still didn't have the courage to disturb Song Ci rashly, so he could only politely decline the proposal to toast:

"The chairman is probably entertaining a distinguished guest, so it's inconvenient for us to disturb him. Let's wait for the next opportunity."

Everyone was disappointed. Zhang Zhao had the highest status here. If he didn't take the lead, others would not dare to disturb Song Ci.

Ma Xin was observing everything silently from the side, taking in every subtle change in Zhang Zhao's expression. He knew that he definitely wanted to go over and toast, but was just too cautious.

After glancing at Zhao Liying and the other non-Tengda people, he suggested, "Boss Zhang, Miss Liu is here too. Why don't you give her a call and ask Boss Song if it's convenient for him to come over. Try to get the ball rolling first. This way it won't seem too abrupt."

Zhang Zhao's eyes lit up, thinking that this method was quite appropriate, so he nodded in agreement. Then he took out his mobile phone, stood up, walked to the window and called Liu Shishi.

Except Zhuang Liqi, everyone at the table was very curious about Miss Liu mentioned by Ma Xin. They didn't know who she was, but it sounded like she had a close relationship with Song Ci.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Shishi was discussing with Zhang Tong that the two were planning to invest in some small businesses together. Since Gong Xiaojin was a civil servant, he did not participate, but just gave some suggestions from time to time.

Suddenly, the cell phone on the table vibrated. Miss Liu was a little surprised when she saw the caller ID, but she still answered the call and listened patiently to what Zhang Zhao said.

"Yes, we are in the "Sanyuan" box. Do you want to bring the crew over? Then I'll ask Song Ci and send you a message later."

After ending the call, Liu Shishi leaned close to Song Ci's ear and exhaled sweetly: "Zhang Zhao happened to be having a dinner with the crew of "So Many Years" next door, and wanted to come over to toast you a glass of wine."

Song Ci was slightly surprised. Is the crew so extravagant now? They actually came to the Chang'an Club for a party and dinner. She asked calmly, "Did he say who they were?"

Liu Shishi immediately repeated what Zhang Zhao had said and let Song Ci make the decision.

"Jingtian?" Song Ci was stunned when he heard the name. How did the rich and beautiful Da Tiantian get involved with Tengda Culture?

Suddenly, he remembered something his father had told him during the Chinese New Year. After thinking it over, he said, "Just ask Zhang Zhao, Zhuang Liqi, and Jing Tian to come. The rest don't need to come."

Liu Shishi nodded obediently and sent a text message to Zhang Zhao.

Seeing Liu Shishi whispering in Song Ci's ear, Liu Xiangdong asked with concern: "Is there something wrong with my sister-in-law? Is the food not to your liking?"

He just saw that Liu Shishi did not touch pork, and then he realized that she was a Hui Muslim. He was afraid that she was not entertaining him well, so he hurried to ask about the situation.

Liu Shishi immediately responded and explained, "No, no, Brother Dong took great care of the banquet tonight. Just now, a few friends came and, I don't know how they knew that Song Ci was here, so they asked me to ask if they could come over and toast."

When Liu Xiangdong heard this, he waved his hand generously and said, "So that's what it is. Brother, sister-in-law, just do as you please. Don't worry about the etiquette."

Zhang Zhao stood by the window and waited for a while. Just as he was about to return to his seat, he received a text message from Liu Shishi. The content was brief and clear: "Mr. Zhang, you, Mr. Zhuang, and Miss Jing can come over. No one else is necessary."

After Zhang Zhao read the text message, he had a plan in mind and told everyone the news. For a moment, the atmosphere in the box became complicated.

Jingtian was smiling like a flower, Zhuang Liqi was excited, and others were inevitably disappointed.

Especially Ma Xin, it was he who told everyone that Song Ci was next door, but now he is not even qualified to toast him, he can't help but feel disappointed.

I thought to myself: In the eyes of the big guys, a new director like me is still not up to par.

Zhang Zhao and Zhuang Liqi both filled the wine jugs in front of them with white wine.

Jingtian bit his lower lip and hesitated for a moment, but finally poured half a glass of red wine into the goblet and went over to toast. If he brought a cup of tea, it would feel a bit rude.

The three of them came to the door of the "Sanyuan" box that Liu Shishi had told them about. Zhang Zhao and Zhuang Liqi both straightened their clothes and adjusted their state.

This made the social novice Jingtian a little nervous, and he quickly smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes with his little hands.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Three people knocked on the door and came in. Song Ci, who was at the banquet, noticed the noise and picked up the wine glass to look at the three people walking towards him.

Zhang Zhao took the lead and bowed slightly: "Mr. Song, I'm sorry to bother you."

Zhuang Liqi also followed suit, greeting politely: "Chairman!"

Jingtian, on the other hand, looked at the handsome and noble Song Ci at this moment, and remembered that the person his elders at home originally wanted to introduce to him during the New Year was the person in front of him.

For a moment, the secret that belonged only to the girl in her heart began to stir inexplicably, her cheeks flushed unconsciously, she tightly grasped the goblet in her hand, and a trace of nervousness arose in her heart.

Seeing the little girl standing there in a daze, staring at the chairman in a daze, Zhang Zhao coughed lightly and reminded her calmly.

Jing Tian came back to his senses and whispered, "Hello, Mr. Song, I am Jing Tian."

After all, she is the sponsor, so Zhang Zhao also hurried to help introduce her: "Mr. Song, Miss Jing is the leading actress and investor of "So Many Years"."

Song Ci nodded and smiled warmly: "If there is a chance in the future, Miss Jing can cooperate with Tengdaduo." After that, he took the initiative to extend his wine glass and wanted to clink glasses with the three people.

Looking at the top-notch beauty so close to him, Jingtian felt his heart beating "thump thump". He had a throbbing feeling. He subconsciously raised his hand to pass the wine glass forward and gently clinked glasses with Song Ci.

Zhang Zhao and Zhuang Liqi bowed slightly, holding the wine pot steadily with both hands, clinked glasses with Song Ci in turn, and drank the white wine in the pot.

After the toast, as soon as the three of them left the private room, Jing Tian couldn't wait to ask: "Boss Zhang, is the girl sitting next to Boss Song his girlfriend?"

Just now she only saw the back of "Miss Liu" mentioned by the director, and felt that she had a very slim figure, but she couldn't see anything else.

"Yes." Zhang Zhao responded, and at the same time he clearly noticed the change in Jing Tian's expression, recalling that Song Ci's attitude towards her just now was quite gentle, which was very different from usual.

Moreover, the chairman actually took the initiative to mention cooperation, which was the first time in history. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, could it be that the big boss has taken a fancy to this girl?

But just now, the chairman didn't seem to have any special behavior. After thinking about it, I always felt that there was something strange about the matter.

Back in the private room, the agent saw that Jingtian's eyes were wandering and he was in a state of restlessness. He asked with concern, "Tiantian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell after drinking?"

She didn't think that there was something wrong with the toast she had just made. The other parties were all well-known figures and would not embarrass a young girl in public.

Jing Tian hid her girlish thoughts, forced a smile, and muttered softly: "I feel a little dizzy, my alcohol tolerance is still too shallow."

Sister Zhao gently stroked the little girl's back, picked up the water cup and handed it to her, saying, "Drink some water, it will be fine after a while.

However, such social events are inevitable in the future, and you still need to improve your alcohol tolerance. I don’t ask you to drink as much as you can, but you can’t get dizzy after a few sips of red wine.”

In the "Sanyuan" box over there, after the three people left, Liu Xiangdong was sitting opposite Song Ci, so he could see the movements and expressions of the three people who had just toasted him.

"Brother, you are still charming. The little girl looks at you with admiration!"

Looking at the honest Lei Jun, he also showed a sly smile: "Mr. Song is very kind and approachable to the little girl."

"Hiss!" Song Ci felt a pain in his waist. He glanced sideways and met Liu Shishi's gaze, which seemed to be angry but not angry. A strong sense of jealousy came over him.

He begged for mercy: "Two brothers, please don't hurt me. Shishi is still here. She is jealous."

"Who's jealous!" Liu Shishi retorted subconsciously, but seeing that several people were looking at her, she quickly restrained her expression and returned to her calm and elegant demeanor.

However, under the tablecloth, her slender jade fingers pinched her boyfriend's soft waist again, and this time the force was much greater than before.

Feeling the pain in his waist, Song Ci hurriedly explained: "The little girl doesn't know me, but her family is quite powerful. She asked my father to help take care of her."

There was actually such a complicated story, which aroused everyone's interest and they all asked about the girl's background.

Song Ci pondered for a moment, then revealed a little: "I don't know the specific background, but if I tell you one thing, you will understand.

Last year, when she was only 19 years old, she was designated as the cherry spokesperson by the Northwest Cherry Association of the United States, and even shook hands with the governor of Washington State, which was very popular. "

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in astonishment. A little girl from China who had no fame at all actually went to the United States, across the ocean, to endorse cherries.

She was even received by the governor. This plot is even more bizarre than the movie. I'm afraid no other actress in the country has such an ability.

Lei Jun smacked his lips, feeling deeply moved: "I never thought that there are so many hidden talents in the small entertainment industry. It seems that there are many hidden talents in every industry."

Song Ci nodded in agreement: "Indeed! Many children of high-ranking officials in the imperial court are also in the entertainment industry, but they are very low-key. For example, in "Blood Romance"... in "Gobi Mother"..."

Once the conversation started, Song Ci revealed the names of several people in the entertainment industry who had powerful connections. Several people felt their scalps tingling. My goodness, you have such a background, and you actually come to the entertainment industry to make trouble!

"No more! No more!" Song Ci regretted it after saying that.

When I said those names just now, I felt like I didn't think at all. It seems that drinking was the cause of the trouble. The alcohol is getting to me and my head is feeling dizzy.

Seeing that the three men all had dazed eyes and were not in the right state, Zhang Tong suggested: "Lao Lei, why don't we stop here today? If you have anything else to do, you can go to your respective companies to talk another day."

Because of the alcohol, Lei Jun's reaction speed was half a beat slower than usual. He was stunned for a long time before he stammered, "Boss Liu, Boss Song, let's end it tonight."

Liu Xiangdong drank the most and his face was flushed. He patted his cheeks to try to sober up, and he stammered for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.

Gong Xiaojin supported her boyfriend and said apologetically, "Sorry, Xiangdong drank too much! Let's stop here today. I'm sorry for not entertaining you well."

On the way back, the car windows were wide open and the summer evening breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness in the warmth. Liu Xiangdong instantly became much more sober.

"Xiao Jin, everything went well tonight! Good investors are hard to find, but investors who understand e-commerce and share your ideas are even harder to find. Once JD.com gets through this, I'll go see my uncle!"

Gong Xiaojin grinned slightly and held her boyfriend's thick hand tightly, and the warmth between them was transmitted in their palms.

"It's right for you to get in touch with Song Ci more. Dad said that the big boss likes him very much, and his family background is not simple either."

Liu Xiangdong was slightly surprised: "I haven't heard that Song Ci's family has any powerful background."

Gong Xiaojin chuckled: "Who among the old Peking people doesn't have a few awesome relatives? Not to mention his own accumulated connections, his father's teachers and fellow students are all important figures in the medical field.

His mother's family is also deeply rooted in the financial world. The higher-ups have investigated him, and he has a clean background and a good family background. In short, there is no harm in getting along with him more. Moreover, Song Ci comes from an educated family, so his quality and cultivation are not bad. "

Liu Xiangdong nodded thoughtfully, looking at the endless stream of night scenes, with ripples inexplicably forming in his heart.

Nowadays, business people all stick together for warmth, so there are joint chambers of commerce such as the "Taishan Club" and the "Jiangnan Club". It would be better to suggest that Song Ci also set up a similar organization so that everyone can help each other and develop together.

There was a constant stream of people on the road. After thinking for a while, Liu Xiangdong said to his girlfriend: "I'll ask the driver to take you home first."

Gong Xiaojin shook her head, her face blushing, her eyes full of light: "You drank, I'm worried, I'll go to your place tonight."

Liu Xiangdong's heart was burning with excitement when he heard this. He scratched his head and gave a simple and innocent smile. At this moment, he looked like a young boy.
