far away.
Bai Haoyi witnessed what had just happened.
He was speechless at the girl's childish arguing. He took a glass of wine and watched from the side, finding the content of her argument amusing.
Girls are truly amazing creatures; even their arguments are so novel.
However, what caught his attention was that after their argument, the girl sitting on the food was still able to continue eating without any distraction.
I was slightly surprised.
Generally, these kinds of dinner parties fall into two categories: one is just for show, where the main activity is playing games; the other is a real meal, but the main activity is drinking and toasting, with the winner being the one who toasts the most.
Unable to resist his curiosity, he took a wine glass and came over.
She was a young girl, dressed reasonably well, and her face was anything but ordinary.
Looking at all the girls who came tonight, which one of them wasn't there with ulterior motives—to curry favor, get resources, and secure roles?
She's probably the only one tonight who can focus solely on eating without any distractions.
'clatter-'
The wine glass made a slight sound as it was placed on the glass tabletop.
Ning Qiluo looked up and saw a young man standing opposite her, smiling and looking at her.
"What are you laughing at? Eat up, the chef at Water World is pretty good."
She generously invited Bai Haoyi to sit down and eat. She didn't seem to recognize him, nor did she show any shyness or ingratiating manner upon seeing him. In short, it was a very casual invitation.
Bai Haoyi came over and stopped two seats away from Ning Qiluo.
Propping his head with his hand, he asked, "Are you eating alone?"
Ning Qiluo looked around, then turned to Bai Haoyi: "Is there anyone else at the dinner table besides you? Don't scare me."
Bai Haoyi was slightly taken aback.
He immediately burst out laughing, "I didn't..."
"Eat quickly, then everyone go home and find their own mothers."
Bai Haoyi chuckled again, finding her quite interesting and different from other girls who came with ulterior motives, though he couldn't guess if this was another deliberate method to attract attention.
Ning Qiluo had almost finished eating. She wiped her mouth with a tissue, stood up, and said, "Take your time eating."
"I'm not hungry."
Bai Haoyi also stood up, a smile on his face.
I'm not hungry, so I'm just sitting here watching her eat. I feel full just watching her.
She checked her WeChat on her phone; Xie Ya said she'd be there soon. Ning Qiluo had nothing to do after eating, but she hadn't yet done the important thing Xie Ya had mentioned.
The person next to her seemed easy to talk to, so Ning Qiluo asked him, "Do you know where Director Bai is?"
Instantly, the smile on Bai Haoyi's face froze.
He looked at her with a slightly incredulous expression, as if asking: You don't recognize me?
And I'm right in front of you!
Judging from her serious expression as she asked, she seemed to have genuinely never seen him before.
He's a well-known figure in the film industry, yet there are people at this dinner party tonight who don't recognize him...
For the first time, Bai Haoyi felt a sense of defeat, as if he had wasted all these years.
"Don't you know?" she asked again.
Ning Qiluo had never met Bai Haoyi in person; she had only heard that he was very famous because he was a film director, and a top-tier one at that. Ning Qiluo, on the other hand, had only directed television dramas and had never directed a film or attended a film festival, so it was normal that she had never met Bai Haoyi.
However, seeing the incredulous expression on the other party's face, Ning Qiluo guessed what was going on.
I asked him, "Are you Director Bai?"
"no."
Bai Haoyi's first reaction was not to admit it, but to deny it.
