Seven o'clock in the evening.

A private room in a restaurant near Nanling Film and Television City.

In fact, it was the place where Tang Xiaobao took Li Tingting to dinner last time.

Although the price was not cheap, Tang Xiaobao had informed the boss in advance and the boss still gave him face. Tonight, the VIP box here was booked in advance by Li Tingting.

Of course, Tang Xiaobao knew that Li Tingting was still a student, so his future boss generously paid the money in advance.

Li Tingting doesn't have to spend any money when she comes here to consume.

However, everything was discussed privately between him and his boss, and in the end, he took a photo with his boss, who was very satisfied.

Not only did I make some money, I also took a group photo. I can then print out the photo and put it up on the display wall in the lobby, where there are already many photos of celebrities.

This is a living advertisement. The restaurant's business is particularly good, and the boss has a good way of making money.

In the box, Li Tingting looked at the corner of the wall, and it seemed like there was nothing there.

She was a little nervous, but she tried to control herself.

Boom boom boom.

Someone knocks on the door.

Li Tingting took a breath and went over to open the door.

The manager came with Qin Ming.

"Ms. Li, your guest has arrived."

"Okay, thank you." Li Tingting said politely.

The manager smiled and nodded. "Please sit down for a moment. The kitchen is ready. Will the food be served soon?"

"Yes, serve the food." Li Tingting said.

Then, she politely said to Director Qin, "Director Qin, please take a seat."

Qin Ming looked around the room and checked everywhere vigilantly. When he found no cameras or anything like that, he sat down with peace of mind.

During this process, Li Tingting was very nervous.

"Director Qin, what are you worried about?" Li Tingting asked with a smile, "Aren't you being too vigilant?"

"It's better to be cautious in everything." Qin Ming was quite frank. He sat down with a laugh and sat next to Li Tingting.

The table was so big, yet they were so close to each other, and he couldn't help himself.

I'm hungry.

I'm not hungry, you know.

Li Tingting felt very uncomfortable, but she endured it.

Soon, the food came.

"Please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please ring the bell. Otherwise, no waiter will come up to disturb you."

The manager smiled meaningfully.

Qin Ming was very proud.

This was not the first time he had come to this place.

Celebrities, especially female celebrities, often invite him to dinner here.

And Li Tingting brought him to this place so secretly, the intention can be imagined.

It's probably done.

No, it's done.

A bottle of expensive red wine has been opened.

It was also ordered by Tang Xiaobao.

"Director Qin, come, I'll toast you a glass to thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Li Tingting raised her glass.

Qin Ming raised his glass, clinked it with hers, and took a sip.

Then, he asked curiously, "This place is quite expensive. You're really generous. You're still a student, right? Where did you get so much money?"

"Oh, my family is well off, right? Besides, even if I don't have money, I wouldn't dare neglect you. Come on, Director Qin, please eat."

In fact, Li Tingting still felt very painful.

This table of food costs several thousand yuan. Even though Tang Xiaobao promised to reimburse her, how could she have the nerve to ask for it?

Being so stingy, wouldn't it make Tang Xiaobao look down on you?

For Tang Xiaobao's plan, she was willing to give it her all.

Her family has some money, but they are definitely not wealthy. There is only a little over 20,000 yuan in her card, and she will probably spend half of it tonight.

However, she felt that as long as things could be done, everything would be worth it.

As a human being, you need to take a long-term view.

When it’s time to bleed, you can’t save it.

She understands this principle.

The food was so expensive, she thought she had to eat a few more bites, otherwise it wouldn’t be worth it.

But she can eat it, but Qin Ming can't.

It’s not that I can’t, but I’m just thinking about something.

He couldn't wait any longer.

But this kind of thing obviously cannot be rushed.

After a while, Qin Ming put down his chopsticks, put a hand on Li Tingting's shoulder, and said with a lewd smile: "Come, let's have another drink."

Li Tingting's body trembled, and she pulled Qin Ming's hand away, blushing and saying, "Director Qin, don't do this."

"Why are you pretending? Are you shy? You asked me out today, didn't you just want to sleep with me?"

Qin Ming likes to use this kind of straightforward and vulgar language to tease female artists.

And in his opinion, since Li Tingting thought so, it didn't matter.

Li Tingting frowned and said, "Director Qin, please respect me for a moment, okay? I just want to thank you for your strict requirements on me during this period of time."

She lowered her head and whispered.

Qin Ming frowned and said, "Tingting, you are still too young."

"Director Qin, I—"

Li Tingting glanced at him, her face red and her eyes blank.

Qin Ming leaned back in his chair and said proudly, "Do you know how many female students want to sleep with me every year? They exchange their bodies for opportunities. As long as I am willing to support you, you will definitely become famous. Then fame, status, and wealth will be within your reach. This world is very fair, but this circle is very cruel. There are only so many resources, and there are too many people who want to stand out. It is your blessing, your luck, and your opportunity that I am interested in you."

"Could it be that you had already thought of this day when you were casting?" Li Tingting said aggrievedly, "You've been making things difficult for me for so many days, even wanting to kick me out of the crew, is it because of this?"

"Okay, then let's all be honest. It's true. You're the only one who's so naive that you can't figure it out. It seems your emotional intelligence isn't high. If it were another girl, she would have taken the initiative to get into my bed a long time ago. However, I like girls like you, and I'm always very good at judging women. You can tell from the looks of it that you haven't experienced a man yet. Are you still a virgin?"

Qin Ming smiled sweetly. "Don't worry. If you sleep with me and become my woman, your future will be bright. I can even give you more roles in this movie. I can make you famous. I will shoot two or three movies every year, and you will be the heroine of my next movie. I also know a lot of directors who can recommend you to their movies. As long as you are willing to spend money, they will take care of you. How do you think those popular stars got to where they are? It's all like this. Do you understand?"

Li Tingting's face turned pale.

The first time she understood the darkness of this circle, it was beyond her understanding.

How can it be so filthy?

Moreover, these words are too harsh to the ears. They make one feel humiliated and ashamed when hearing them.

"Come on, let's have another drink. I know there's a hotel nearby and I'm an old acquaintance there. Don't go back tonight. Just serve me well and I'll give you some great benefits."

Qin Ming reached out to touch Li Tingting's thigh again.

Li Tingting jumped up immediately as if she had been bitten by a poisonous snake.

Then, she slapped his ear.

Qin Ming was stunned by the beating.
