Chapter 821 Attending the Banquet
When they were almost at the banquet hotel, she sent a message to Secretary Qin to ask for their location. After confirming the location of their car, Lin Tan and Xiao Feng went over.
They met up a few minutes later.
Qin Jiangye's outfit was no different from usual, and he still seemed completely unconcerned. When he saw Lin Tan's quiet and gentle attire, he casually praised, "As expected of our company's future top star, you look great."
After saying that, remembering Qin Mo's instructions, he added a few words: "Don't be nervous when you go in later, just follow me the whole time."
"Okay," Lin Tan said. "Thank you, boss."
Qin Jiangye: "Let's go."
Lin Tan followed.
She hadn't taken two steps when Qin Jiangye stopped. She looked at him, puzzled. Before she could ask what was wrong, Qin Jiangye moved his arm, gesturing for her to take his arm.
Just as she was about to reach out, a voice came from behind her, interrupting all her actions and thoughts: "Teacher Lin Tan, what a coincidence."
That instant.
Lin Tan's body stiffened instantly.
Even though she couldn't see the person, she knew that the speaker was Huo Sinian.
She had considered the possibility of running into him tonight, and she had also considered that he might try to embarrass her, but she never expected to run into him so soon, especially with her boss and Secretary Qin both present.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the banquet?" Huo Sinian walked over, his gaze fixed on Lin Tan. "I should have brought you a gift."
“You’ve already called me teacher, how can a teacher explain the itinerary to a student?” Qin Jiangye spoke first, his tone casual and nonchalant, just like a rich young master.
"I used to be her teacher too. I brought her into the family when we were in Jingzhou and taught her quite a lot," Huo Sinian said unhurriedly. "Right, Teacher Lin Tan?"
Lin Tan knew it was a threat.
I also know that he was referring to that kind of thing.
"What do you need to introduce her to?" Qin Jiangye was just trying to annoy Huo Sinian. "Tell me about it, I want to learn too."
These words were spoken.
Huo Sinian paused.
Lin Tan was also stunned.
Seeing their expressions, Secretary Qin immediately understood.
He didn't let them continue their conversation there, dutifully saying, "Boss, the banquet is about to begin."
Qin Jiangye nodded and led Lin Tan inside.
Looking at the arm that was wrapped around his arm, Huo Sinian felt a little irritated.
Lin Tan felt a gaze fixed on her from behind. The gaze was so tangible that it made her feel stiff and unnatural all over.
"Afraid of him?" Qin Jiangye suddenly asked.
Lin Tan paused.
Qin Jiangye led her forward, passing through groups of people standing in twos and threes, and casually said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "He's a human being too, with two eyes and two arms, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Mm," Lin Tan replied.
"Let's go, I'll introduce you to directors and producers in the industry." Qin Jiangye planned to find something for her to do.
In the time that followed.
Qin Jiangye led her through the crowd, introducing her to all the producers, directors, and investors. He didn't introduce them deliberately, but simply used different words to leave an impression on everyone.
This is something he excels at.
After more than an hour, Lin Tan had left a vague or clear impression on almost everyone else.
As Qin Jiangye introduced different people to Lin Tan, several people walked down the second-floor corridor, including Qin Mo, Xie Yi, Xie Yi's father Xie Chang'an, and his mother Junyi.
Looking at the person whose expression remained as cold and indifferent as ever, Xie Yi casually remarked, "Aren't you the one who dislikes these boring banquets the most? Why did you come today?"
"Just browsing around," Qin Mo said casually.
Xie Yi didn't believe it: "Is the person you like here?"
Qin Mo did not speak.
Xie Yi: "It seems so."
Qin Mo: "If Aunt Jun knew I had someone I liked, what would happen to you?"
Xie Yi: "..."
Blind date.
Endless blind dates.
If either Qin Mo or Chi Yuan gets a partner, his mother and father will definitely urge him to get married, and the same will happen if Chi Yuan and Qin Mo are in the same situation.
"Then what are you doing here?" Xie Yi asked. "You're not the kind of person who would attend this kind of banquet."
The three of them have played together since they were little.
I basically know a bit about the other person's personality and preferences.
In the past, Qin Mo would never have attended a banquet that had nothing to do with him.
“She’s here,” Qin Mo replied.
Xie Yi was taken aback.
He didn't ask who she was.
The answer is so obvious that there is no need to say more.
The question is, is Qin Mo the kind of person who will answer his questions?
"Where?" Xie Yi wasn't as gossipy as Chi Yuan, but he was still a little curious about Qin Mo, the person he was hiding. "Let me see."
Qin Mo didn't say anything.
Xie Yi stood in the corridor and looked down.
His gaze swept over the faces of every slightly suspicious person below.
The gaze eventually landed on Qin Jiangye, who was chatting idly with someone below. Seeing that there was someone next to him, he casually remarked with one hand in his pocket, "Isn't Qin Jiangye always by his secretary's side? Why is he with a different companion today?"
Qin Mo didn't say anything, but followed Jun Yi and the others in the direction they left.
"Is that his girlfriend?" Xie Yi was too far away to see Lin Tan's face clearly, he could only make out a general outline.
Qin Mo: "No."
Xie Yi: "You know?"
Qin Mo: "Mm."
Xie Yi: "?"
Qin Mo: "That's the person I like."
Xie Yi: "???"
Xie Yi felt that Qin Mo was acting strangely today.
He used to be unable to utter a single word for ages, but today he actually confessed on his own.
He didn't ask any more questions; he was going down anyway, so he might as well take a look.
They followed Junyi and Xie Chang'an into the elevator and headed to the first floor. Looking at the two of them, Xie Chang'an, dressed in a suit and exuding a composed and gentle demeanor, said to Xie Yi and Qin Mo, "We're going to meet a friend. What about you?"
Qin Mo was about to speak.
Xie Yi spoke first: "I also want to see a friend." As he spoke, he specifically looked at Qin Mo.
Xie Chang'an hummed in agreement and ignored them.
After the elevator doors opened, everyone went their separate ways.
Qin Mo sent a message to Qin Jiangye with one hand as Xie Yi exited the elevator.
Seeing that a line had been returned, Qin Jiangye said to Lin Tan beside him, "Let's go, let me introduce you to this senior actress. In the film industry, she has won the most awards and has the highest box office."
"Senior Song Zhi?" A name popped into Lin Tan's mind.
Qin Jiangye raised an eyebrow slightly: "You know?"
Lin Tan nodded slightly: "Yes, she is someone I strive to be, and she is also my idol."
Song Zhi, in his fifties, is an international superstar.
She is very well-known both domestically and internationally, has won numerous awards, and excels in both dramatic and action scenes, making her an object of admiration and adoration for many.
He is humble and acts with grace and poise.
Despite being a senior, he doesn't act like one.
He was very kind to the younger actors in the same production team, and would even help them rehearse their lines if he saw they were nervous.
"Her next film is directed by Ning." Qin Jiangye revealed a secret to her. "The casting will be held at the end of the year. The lead actress has already been decided. If you perform well in this film, you might get a role as the second or third female lead."
Lin Tan's eyes, which were usually not prone to emotional fluctuations, brightened.
Acting alongside veteran actor Song is something many people dream of.
"Okay, I will try my best," she said.
