Chapter 215 Extra - Liao Qian and Wu Cheng Part 3

That day, Mi'er 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, with the cultivation and bearing 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 happened 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.

While eating hot pot, they only spoke briefly to each other when I asked him to get some water.

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

After that meal, she thought they would never have anything to do with each other again.

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

She is needed to attend a drinking party.

After arriving, she saw that the other party's representative was Wu Cheng.

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

She and Sister Qiao sat at the lower table and listened to their conversation silently.

"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 action and glanced at the man above her. He just happened to raise his eyelids and looked over at her. The two looked at each other briefly for a second, and then he calmly looked away, as if he had just raised his eyes casually.

Sister Qiao touched her arm under the table, signaling her to hurry up, after all, many artists in the company were eyeing this opportunity.

Liao Qian pursed her lips, picked up the cup, stood up from the 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 pleasant cooperation."

After she finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, from the wine glass in her hand to her face, and asked in a tone that was neither salty nor light, "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 with 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 fun."

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 realized that the management had no objection and that the person should have been confirmed.

After the dinner was over, Wu Cheng left first with his coat, and then they followed suit.

Liao Qian followed them, but unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out, she met an uninvited guest.

The producer who was 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 can talk about this."

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

Judging from their expressions, they don't intend to care. 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 little loss.

But Sister Qiao felt that the producer was going too far. It was clearly him who spoke disrespectfully first, so why should Sissi be the one to apologize first?

"Producer Wang, it's all in the past. You see, Xixi is still young and doesn't know much. Can't we make a big deal out of a small matter?"

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

Liao Qian listened and let out a long breath. She glanced past the company's senior executives at 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 to her and asked, "Wang Jiang, who did you just say you wanted to kill?"

Wang Jiang suddenly heard someone talking, but he didn't know who it was, and he took over the conversation, "This bastard..."

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 widened his eyes, "Mr. Wu... Mr. Wu, why are you here?"

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

This means he asked for it.

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

Seeing that Wu Cheng was 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 quietly clenched her hands in the outer pocket of her coat. She couldn't describe her mood at the moment, she only felt that the rhythm of her heartbeat was slightly disordered.

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

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

Several senior executives glanced between 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 nothing, I just can't stand seeing injustice."

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

Having said that, he strode towards the door.

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

Liao Qian reacted quickly and handed all the things in her hand to Sister Qiao. "Sister Qiao, please help me take them back to the car. I will be back soon."

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

The company's senior executives watched Wu Cheng get in the car and leave.

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

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

Liao Qian saw that the driver was still sitting in front of her and was about to make a long speech, "Thank you for just now."

She felt it necessary to thank him, after all, he had really 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 does he mean? Did he forget something that just happened? Or did he say that on purpose to imply something?
