Chapter 54
Li Chu: “…Oh.”
He wasn't a particularly greedy person, and he didn't like to eat much. Since he was young, he had to be thin because of dancing, so he was used to avoiding certain foods. He used to be upset because Ji Mowei casually said behind his back that he was a little fat, but he managed to lose weight afterwards.
Regarding the matter of eating, I was just looking for an excuse to talk to Su Ning. Otherwise, it would seem very tiring if we talked only about work.
But Shen Mingzheng is really strict.
But besides Li Chu, there are still people in the group who like to eat.
Lin Zhi happily put away the big red envelope, then sat next to Li Chu, watching the dishes pass by on the table. He has a physique that easily puts on weight, and he really doesn't dare to eat recently.
Especially since Zhou Chunqing was sitting next to them. She wasn't a celebrity anymore, so she didn't have to avoid certain foods. She ate with relish and even cruelly reminded them, "Tomorrow's clothes will be tight around the waist, so you better be careful. That camera is famous for making you look fatter."
Under everyone's gaze, she ate even more happily.
Li Chu saw Lin Zhi sitting next to him, and first picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks for him, and comforted him: "It's okay, you won't get fat if you eat occasionally, at most you will be swollen tomorrow, I will get you up in the morning to exercise, a cup of black coffee will make it go away, it won't delay the performance, don't worry."
Lin Zhi seemed to be inspired by something. He stuffed the well-cooked tender lobster meat into his mouth and chewed it happily while trying to push the issue further: "Maybe I don't want to get up early to exercise either."
Li Chu Wuqing: "No, if you don't get up, I will let Qu Shoubai and Xiaohua wake you up."
Xiaohua is the fat calico cat. The kitten doesn’t need to control its weight. It looks very happy just eating and playing every day.
Even without Shen Mingzheng, Li Chu was still very strict and there was no way he would relax at all.
Lin Zhi: “Woo woo.”
It can be seen that Su Ning has taken good care of their table.
The color has been adjusted, and if the ingredients are good, there is no need for extra cooking methods, and it won’t be a burden if you eat more.
Although this party was to celebrate Su Ning's promotion and the guests were partners, it was a bit like a family dinner and everyone was quite relaxed. However, not long after that, Su Ning received a phone call.
He was a little surprised because it was Lu Fei calling.
Last time, Boss Lu introduced him as a close friend, and because Glory was very popular and the endorsement effect was good, Su Ning was also worried about Ji Xue, so they had been in contact. It was also a coincidence today. Lu Fei must have seen the news that he became the chairman, and he happened to be in Haicheng, so he called him and asked him if he wanted to congratulate him today.
Boss Lu was such an outgoing and casual person, and Su Ning couldn't refuse him under the circumstances, so he invited him over, saying that they would not talk about business but just get together.
"Okay," Lv Fei laughed on the other end of the phone, "I'll bring Xiaoxue with me. It just so happens that she has nothing to do tonight and she's also bored."
When it comes to Lu Fei, many people present know him. After all, there are seven official spokespersons here. Liang Xiaoliang, who has a wide circle of friends, also knows Lu Fei. They are just nodding acquaintances, so it won't be awkward for him to come here, as they are all playing together anyway.
Because Su Ning had told everyone in advance, everyone present was ready when Lu Fei came. They stood up, greeted him and then sat down again. But when Ji Xue beside him took off her big sunglasses, the place was silent for a while.
This time when she went out, her dress and makeup were more exquisite than last time, and she looked like a shining gem. Then she looked around and greeted everyone politely and reservedly.
Director Yao, who recognized Ji Xue, opened her mouth, but because Su Ning had greeted her, she said nothing.
Lu Fei likes and even enjoys such scenes. Even people in the entertainment industry who have seen many beauties will be shocked by the beauty of their fiancée. People of his wealth will also have a feeling that their face and vanity are extremely satisfied.
This might be the reason why his family agreed to the engagement, as extreme beauty is a scarce resource.
But he was also quite shocked to see Su Ning, because Shen Mingzheng was with Su Ning, and the rings on their hands were obviously a pair.
Oh, so this is what it means to marry young.
Su Ning pulled Shen Mingzheng over and took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Shen Mingzheng from Shen's Films, the one who called me last time, my family member."
Lu Fei remembered, so he immediately became serious and shook hands with Shen Mingzheng: "Mr. Shen, I have heard of your name and have admired your great name for a long time. I didn't expect to see you here. I was wondering which powerful person had tied Su Ning to marry so early. Last time he answered the phone, he was still smiling. It turns out that you two are a couple."
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have only brought a promotion gift. I should have also brought a wedding gift."
Shen Mingzheng didn't know about this. It was the first time he heard Su Ning call him "family". He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Ning and couldn't help but smile.
Li Chu, who was sitting at the table nearby, witnessed his worthless smile and was a little speechless.
Smiling like an idiot.
They didn't participate in such business occasions. At most, they nodded and said hello, and they would not come forward. This private room is quite large. If they don't want to socialize over there, they can just stay here. However, Lin Zhi, who was sitting next to him, swallowed the food in his mouth, quietly leaned over and said: "That sister, she is really beautiful."
Anyone who sees this face will be shocked. Zhou Chunqing on the other side of him also agreed with this and she kept staring at it.
What a beautiful lady, who doesn’t like her!
But when Li Chu looked over there, his focus was different and he recognized who the person who attracted everyone's attention was.
When Su Ning was looking for someone, he also asked him if he had seen Ji Xue in the company. That was Ji Xue. Now it seems that the person has been found, but it doesn't look smooth.
Lu Fei sat down and quickly mingled with everyone. He also casually explained why he came here. Tomorrow is the premiere of "Wushuangtu" and it will be held in Haicheng. Jianfeng handed Lu Fei an invitation letter.
"I originally had no interest, but Xiaoxue has been in Rongcheng for too long and is bored, so I thought I'd just bring her back to play. Isn't her home here? It's a good opportunity to come back and visit my parents-in-law," he said. "By the way, will President Su go?"
Jianfeng wanted to make peace, so he naturally sent them an invitation, but Su Ning would not go.
"Mingzheng and I both have things to do tomorrow, so we can only let other people from the company go," he said, "It's really unfortunate."
Chen Tao was an assistant sent by the family, so he didn't want to completely break off relations with the old man. Besides, the old man had a strange temper. He hoped that the heirs would fight to the death, but there was no need to make it a life-and-death fight. After all, they were all the Shen family's assets, and if there was a big fight, it was inevitable that the fisherman would benefit from the conflict.
If the dispute becomes too intense, he will come out to mediate, which is somewhat like the emperor's art of balance.
Moreover, in the entertainment industry, people would like to bite each other to death behind their backs, but they have to maintain harmony on the surface. Chen Tao went to Shen's Pictures, and Su Hongda went to Guangying Entertainment.
Hearing this, Ji Xue smiled and said, "I heard that this movie premiere will be very grand. Mr. Su is a very busy man. It would be a pity if he can't come and see the excitement."
Afterwards, a few people sat there and chatted about random things, not mentioning work. Lu Fei became interested and opened two bottles of wine.
The little idol's table was not allowed to drink alcohol, and this was not a drinking occasion. The others basically had juice and tea, and someone even took the lead in ordering milk tea. Everyone did whatever they felt comfortable with.
However, Mr. Liang Xiaoliang cannot live without wine. He had brought a bottle of wine with him, which was aged white wine. He and the coal boss Su Hongda drank more than half of the bottle. They were both big drinkers and their eyes were still clear at the end. After Lu Fei came, he ordered two bottles of very expensive foreign wine, saying that they were to congratulate Su Ning.
In his previous life, Su Ning had worked his way up through drinking events of all sizes, but he didn't have any addiction to alcohol. For him, it was just a social tool. He knew that Shen Mingzheng didn't drink much, so he took it over himself.
No one urged him in this situation. He just drank a few glasses out of courtesy. It was nothing. Most of the drinks were drunk by the people who ordered them. However, he did not expect that the white wine Liang Xiaoliang brought was so powerful, especially when it was drunk one after the other with the foreign liquor. This body's alcohol tolerance was really average.
At the beginning, there was nothing special about it. There was a subtle sweet taste in the wine when you drank it, and it was very smooth. After a while, the alcohol started to take effect.
Lu Fei was an even bigger drinker. While chatting with Liang Xiaoliang, he drank a few more glasses of white wine. He collapsed and fell asleep.
Ji Xue's slender figure couldn't hold him, so she let him lean on the sofa over there. Afraid that he would catch a cold, she asked the waiter for a blanket to cover him. She sat aside and told the people around her not to be nervous.
"He's just drunk, nothing's wrong," she said softly, "I've called the housekeeper, someone will come to pick him up later. I hope Mr. Su doesn't mind if we stay here for a while longer?"
But Su Ning himself couldn't answer this question.
He just drank a little out of curiosity and was now half awake and unable to stand up. Shen Mingzheng did not leave him there alone and sat aside to let him lean on him.
Shen Mingzheng answered for him: "It's okay, Miss Ji, please wait here for a while. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us."
He then looked at Su Ning again, his tone softened several degrees, and he said helplessly: "You, why don't you go back? We are all acquaintances, and they won't care if they see you drunk. Don't be curious and drink that sip in the future."
Su Ning shook his head and insisted: "I'm not drunk."
That's what drunks say.
Shen Mingzheng didn't argue with him. He hugged him and planned to carry him back.
Li Chu came over at this time.
He had been a little worried when he saw the scene over there, and the time had come for the seven people to say goodbye.
The young idols have plans tomorrow and need to make sure they have enough rest and cannot stay here too long. Qu Shoubai and the others followed behind, intending to wish their general agent a successful promotion before leaving.
Su Ning stubbornly opened his eyes. When he saw them coming, before Li Chu could say anything, he reached into his clothes and took out a few more red envelopes, wondering, "Huh? Why isn't it enough?"
"Because you've already sent it out," Li Li reminded him, "We've all received red envelopes."
But Su Ning didn't seem to listen much.
He tried hard again and stuffed all the extra red envelopes he had prepared into their hands. He smiled with curved eyebrows and said, "Then take them all and go buy things, or give them to your friends. Let's have fun together."
He was very persistent, so Qu Shoubai, who was standing in front, could only reach out to take it. Everyone knew that he was drunk, and they didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but they still had to say congratulations before leaving.
Su Ning caught the key words from their words this time, smiled and said thank you, then looked at Li Chu carefully, as if he finally recognized him, and said: "Ah, it's Xiao Chu."
"I have something very important to tell you, something that makes me happier than becoming the chairman of the company... Remember the teacher I found for you before the competition?"
Li Chu nodded. That teacher was very difficult to hire. He still remembered that it was particularly difficult for Su Ning to fight for him.
"Now I'm the boss! I can take that teacher's class all the time, and I don't have to wait anymore," Su Ning leaned on Shen Mingzheng's shoulder and looked at them, smiling again, "Isn't it great?"
He thought for a moment, then looked at the others behind Li Chu and added, "There will be more amazing teachers. I'm going to look for them all."
When he said this, his tone sounded like he was sharing candy with other kids, with a bit of rare boasting in it. After he finished speaking, he smiled at them, as if waiting for praise.
This is the benefit of having money in your account and having a say.
Everyone now thinks that Glory is a cash cow. It is not the time when we said that debuting in a talent show would be the peak and Xiufen would finish her seven-day run. But even more so at times like this, we must always keep learning.
Su Ning should not just make empty words when making higher demands on them. Of course, it is also necessary to create a sufficient environment for them. Such planning must be done in advance.
Shen Mingzheng touched his hair, then took over the conversation and said, "You have too many schedules recently. I wanted to talk to you later. After all, you will have time for training after the promotion period."
"Whether it's music or stage training, your CEO Su and I have found the best teachers in the country. If there are still people who want to work with you, just tell your executive agent. We will do our best to fight for it. Everyone has worked very hard during this period. Thank you for your hard work."
“I hope that what is now here is not the end for you, but just the beginning of your great success.”
The seven of them were silent for a while after hearing this.
There is no need to say much about Su Ning's intentions, and he does not need them to say anything to thank him. Only Lin Zhi, who was full, said firmly: "Okay, I will get up early and exercise tomorrow!"
Su Ning did not avoid other people when he said this, so Ji Xue, who was waiting for someone nearby, also saw it.
Just at this time, Lu Fei's housekeeper came with some people and helped him out. These people were also very respectful to Ji Xue and put a new coat on her. Lu Fei and his group followed the little idol out.
A bunch of people were mixed together, she and Li Chu were walking one after the other, and the other people in the group were still asking him about his teacher. In fact, they had seen some of them when they were shooting MVs and entering the recording studio, not to mention the seniors like the blue hat.
Asking capable teachers for guidance is a valuable opportunity for everyone, so Li Chu agreed one by one.
Then Ji Xue heard him talking.
"...If you have the chance, you can get to know Su Ning better," Li Chu said, "He is different from others. He is really a good person."
I don’t know who I was saying this to on purpose.
Ji Xue, who was walking behind him, glanced at him, curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, but did not comment on it.
But when she got in the car, she still looked at the group of little idols who were chattering together. These were popular idols. The car to pick them up was coming over. Several people gathered together to open red envelopes, and then discussed the future with a smile. They were obviously full of energy.
When they first debuted in Figure 4, it was hard to see that these seven people had such vitality.
Su Ning does have the ability to teach people.
Ji Xue looked at him for a while, then glanced at Lu Fei who was sleeping beside her. This man came over to hold her hand in a daze, and she did not avoid him. She turned to the driver and said, "Let's go."
Today's banquet is over and everyone is very happy.
Just because Liang Xiaoliang poured a curious amount of wine, even Su Ning, the protagonist, fell asleep. He was carried back home by Shen Mingzheng.
Thinking back, it was the same when they first met, when Shen Mingzheng took Su Ning home drunk. But this time was very different. The next day, Su Ning felt confused when he woke up.
He actually slept on the bed in the master bedroom.
At the same time, Shen Mingzheng was on the side, his hands still on Su Ning's waist, his eyes closed. Although the two of them did not hug each other completely, it was almost there.
Su Ning: ...
He moved a little closer to the bed and fell into deep thought.
It is normal for a legal couple to sleep in the same bed, but someone like Su Ning, who is so insensitive to love, was stunned for a while and didn't react.
Moreover, Su Ning did not completely lose his memory. After he woke up, his memory of what happened last night came back and he remembered a lot of things.
Su Ning was not drunk and was a little sober when he got home at night. Shen Mingzheng wanted to wash him, but he refused and forced himself to wash. However, his brain was a little not working well and he poured the water in the mouthwash cup onto his bed.
So he couldn't sleep in that bed anymore and he could only sleep in the master bedroom.
Shen Mingzheng was originally going to go out to sleep and leave this room for him, but Su Ning was not very honest and tossed around almost the entire night, and then... it turned out like this.
I will never drink Liang Xiaoliang's wine again.
Su Ning thought sadly.
He wanted to get out of bed carefully, but Shen Mingzheng woke up as soon as the quilt was hooked, and he reached out and hugged him back around the waist.
"Where are you going?" Shen Mingzheng asked, "Do you have a headache?"
Su Ning: ...
He didn't have a headache, but now his head hurts a little.
