Chapter 222 Extra - Liao Qian and Wu Cheng Chapter 10

The next day, Fang Yi chose a Cantonese restaurant.

When Liao Qian arrived, he had already arrived.

In the private room, Fang Yi handed her the menu and said, "You choose. Order whatever you want." After a pause, he continued, "If you gain weight, I'll be responsible."

Liao Qian laughed when she heard this. "How can you be responsible if the flesh grows on me?"

"I will help you lose weight. If you lose a few pounds, I will lose them too."

"Since you said so, I have to record a message to tell Sister Qiao. When I get fat, she will come to settle the score with you."

Fang Yi said cheerfully, "Okay, no problem."

After ordering, the two of them inevitably talked about work again. Fang Yi asked her, "Have you decided on your next drama?"

"Yes, it has been finalized. It is still Director Zhang's."

The film they collaborated on before was directed by Zhang.

Fang Yi nodded and said, "That's not bad. I wish you all the best."

"Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Come on, eat more."

After dinner, thinking that they might be photographed, Liao Qian and he left one after another.

However, it still became a hot topic the next day.

I don’t know how we were photographed by the media. It was clearly a private dinner but was said to be a date.

For a while, there was constant heated discussion on the Internet.

[Are these two people really guilty? ]

[Has my CP come true? ]

[They are a perfect match, a famous movie star and a popular actress, when will the official announcement be made? 】

[Don't worry, it might be clarified soon. ]

After receiving the call from Sister Qiao, Liao Qian repeatedly explained that they were friends.

But in the end, the company and the producers unanimously decided not to make any clarification for the sake of the film's popularity and traffic.

They don't want to miss out on the exposure this time around.

Then the discussion on the Internet became more and more intense.

During this period, Fang Yi also called her and said, "I'm sorry, Xixi, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"It's not your fault. We were just having a meal. It's the company that wanted exposure."

Although Liao Qian doesn't like this kind of hype, the actors can only obey the company's arrangements and they have no say in the matter.

Fortunately, everyone continued to discuss the matter, and in the end, when they saw that the real person did not respond, their desire to gossip gradually subsided.

In addition, other hot news also became trending searches, and the attention on the topic also declined.

A few days later, when it came time for the dinner party that Sister Qiao had mentioned before, Liao Qian simply packed up and set off.

The location is in a private room of the club. The space inside is large enough, with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook half of the city, a reception area for rest, and a dining area with tables that can seat about twenty people.

When Liao Qian arrived, she saw quite a few actors and actresses. She knew that these were the roles that had already been confirmed for the movie.

The director, producer and screenwriter have all arrived and are now discussing the details.

As soon as Liao Qian arrived, the director called her over and asked her to communicate more with the script writer and understand the characters in the script.

The male lead who acted with her this time was Qin Yichen, who was also listening nearby.

The two had never worked together before and just said hello.

Liao Qian noticed that there was no plan to eat yet, apparently not everyone had arrived yet.

While they were chatting, after a while, the door was pushed open again.

This time, the director and company executives all came to greet us.

Liao Qian looked over and saw three men coming in. The one in front was an older man with slightly gray hair and elegant clothes. He was a foreigner.

There were two younger people behind him. The one on the right was Liao Qian, whom he did not recognize. Wu Cheng stood on the left, wearing a Prussian blue suit, a light-colored silk scarf, and silver-framed glasses, which showed his low-key elegance.

He followed the old gentleman in front and sat aside. He rarely spoke during the meal, as if he just came to have a meal.

At the dinner table, the director and several senior executives were talking to the older gentleman at the table.

Liao Qian learned from their conversation that this person was a well-known figure in the international financial investment banking circle and was also well-known on Wall Street. He valued Wu Cheng and invited him to run the company. He also tacitly regarded him as his future successor in this field.

It was obvious that he valued this cooperation, so he came in person. She thought that the other party might have plans for long-term financing cooperation.

Liao Qian saw several actresses at the table looking at the man above with shining eyes. After all, if they could get close to him, they wouldn't have to worry about lack of investment and resources in the future.

During the dinner, several people were eager to try and went over to toast.

They are not reserved when it comes to making friends with big shots. For them, this is an opportunity that comes right to them, and their words become more and more artificial.

Liao Qian was the calmest. She looked at the people who gathered around Wu Cheng, then retracted her gaze and continued chatting with the director next to her.

The male protagonist Qin Yichen was also very diligent in chatting with the investors at this time, eager to be appreciated and reused.

But as the leading actress, Liao Qian certainly couldn't escape and she still had to go and toast.

She had to toast anyone who was higher in status than her at the table.

After toasting everyone one by one, she waited until there was no one around Wu Cheng before she went over.

Wu Cheng lowered his eyes and glanced at the wine glass she held out to him, then clinked glasses with his. During the entire process, the two of them were like strangers.

After the dinner was over, everyone left one after another.

Liao Qian had just come out of the bathroom and was about to leave when someone grabbed her wrist and took her into a lounge next door. The door closed with a click.

She saw who it was and smelled the strong smell of alcohol on him, "Wu Cheng, let me go!"

He obviously didn't have to drink, and no one dared to say anything if he drank, but he accepted everything and drank too much throughout the night.

The lounge was dark, and the heaviness of his breathing was particularly obvious. He pushed her against the wall, holding her wrist tightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you with him?"

Liao Qian realized that he was talking about the online incident between her and Fang Yi during this period. "Why are you asking this?"

"Is it?" He asked stubbornly.

Liao Qian thought he was just drunk and crazy, so she didn't want to answer him, "You've had too much to drink."

"I'm not drunk."

Well, any drunk person will say they are not drunk.

"I don't want to talk to an alcoholic."

After a long while, he could only be heard mumbling, his voice filled with grief and compromise after a struggle, "I know I shouldn't have come to disturb you, but I couldn't control myself."

"Why don't you tell me what I should do? Tell me."

Liao Qian sighed, then said patiently, "You have your life, and so do I. Let's just let each other go."

After he finished speaking, she felt a weight on her shoulder. His chin leaned down. Liao Qian was hugged by him. She could only hear his voice coming to her ear. His tone was extremely earnest. "But I can't let myself go. Qianqian, can you just try to like me a little bit, just a little bit, and don't like others, okay? Please."

Liao Qian knew that he was really drunk and started talking nonsense.
