Chapter 230 You've finally arrived
The group chatted as they walked toward the private room in the hotel restaurant.
Pushing open the door, Zhong Wan realized that everyone else had already arrived, except for a few of them.
Upon seeing them enter, Director Li, Zhou Kangning, and the others immediately stood up.
The other two core creative team members in charge of art and photography, although they had never met Zhong Wan, were well aware of the accident that happened back then.
In addition to being Mrs. Lin Yan'an, she also has another identity—one of the shareholders of the production team.
Seeing the two of them smile and get up, producer Sister Wang, who was originally arranging the menu, realized that they had also gotten up and started.
Seeing everyone's actions, she was somewhat surprised, but that didn't stop her from warmly greeting them: "Oh, you've finally arrived, please have a seat."
After speaking, she paused, looked at Su Mu and then at Zhong Wan, who was being held by Lin Yan'an's hand. She instantly understood and smiled at Zhong Wan, saying, "Yan'an, this must be your sister-in-law, right?"
"Um."
Lin Yan'an smiled and nodded, then put his arm around Zhong Wan's shoulder and introduced her naturally: "Sister Wang, Director Li, Brother Zhou, Instructor Zhang, Instructor Liu, this is my wife, Zhong Wan."
After he finished speaking, he looked down at Zhong Wan and gently explained, "Wanwan, these are the core partners of our project."
Zhong Wan smiled and nodded slightly, then looked at everyone with a graceful smile and greeted them: "Hello Director Li, hello Brother Zhou, hello Sister Wang, hello Instructor Zhang, hello Instructor Liu, I am Zhong Wan."
Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and her eyes were clear, instantly winning people's favor.
After saying that, Zhong Wan thoughtfully introduced Su Mu: "This is my friend Su Mu, who came with me to take a look."
Su Mu remained aloof, nodding slightly to everyone before quietly standing a little behind Zhong Wan.
Her presence is not strong, yet she is impossible to ignore.
Director Li looked at Zhong Wan, his eyes filled with admiration, gratitude, and a hint of seriousness that was barely perceptible. He smiled and nodded, "Hello, sister-in-law. I've heard Yan An mention you before. It's really thanks to you that this project was able to restart."
His words were pointed, but to Sister Wang, who was unaware of the implication, he misunderstood them as gratitude for her investment.
Zhou Kangning was even more direct. He picked up the teacup in front of him and looked at Zhong Wan very sincerely, saying, "Sister Zhong Wan, I, Old Zhou, am not good at sweet talk, so I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine!"
"If it weren't for you, our team..."
Zhou Kangning didn't say much, but everyone present knew the specific reason.
"Anyway, thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan quickly picked up her teacup and said, "Brother Zhou, you're too kind. I only did what I could. It's mainly the result of everyone's joint efforts."
The two of them were being polite to each other.
Pei Xingyu didn't stand on ceremony. He hugged Zhong Suisui and came over, saying, "And my little kitten brother too! He's a big contributor as well!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present turned to look at him.
Seeing this, Zhong Suisui twitched her cat ears and looked at everyone with a self-righteous "meow".
The little tail tip even wagged proudly a couple of times.
Seeing its smug little face, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
"Yes, yes, yes! And our Sui Sui too."
Zhou Kangning added with a smile that he knew Zhong Suisui was no ordinary cat.
Although he had never personally witnessed Zhong Suisui's abilities, he dared not underestimate her.
after all……
Zhou Kangning glanced at Zhong Wan out of the corner of his eye; after all, its mother was no ordinary person.
Without Zhong Wan's presence, how could their project have gained the attention it deserved from above?
He was quite certain about this.
Director Li nodded with a smile: "Yes, Sui Sui is also a little hero of our crew."
After saying that, he very attentively put a big chicken leg on Zhong Suisui's plate: "Here, Suisui, try this."
Zhong Suisui's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing this.
It chewed on the dried fish in its mouth while watching Director Li nod in satisfaction.
[Chewing...chewing...chewing...meow...]
As soon as it opened its mouth, Lin Yan'an reached out and took a napkin to wipe its little chin: "Eat your food obediently."
【Hmm!】
Zhong Suisui nodded quickly, being extremely obedient.
Seeing this scene, Sister Wang was somewhat puzzled by their attitude, but looking at Zhong Suisui's well-behaved appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little fond of her.
She followed up with a smile, saying, "This little cat, Sui Sui, looks so clever."
Sister Wang smiled and handed over the menu: "Sister-in-law, take another look and see if there's anything else you like to eat, and add some more."
At this point, Sister Wang glanced at Zhong Suisui and thoughtfully suggested, "I heard that cats can't eat too much salt, so I'll make Suisui a lightly salted steamed fish."
"Thank you for your trouble, Sister Wang."
Zhong Wan smiled and accepted the menu, but didn't order anything. Instead, she looked at the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "This is already very plentiful. Sui Sui... it's not picky about food. It usually eats with us, so there's no need to prepare anything special."
She spoke vaguely, but she couldn't very well tell Sister Wang directly that Zhong Suisui wasn't an ordinary cat at all, could she? ┑(￣Д￣)┍
【Meow! 】
But upon hearing her words, Zhong Suisui let out a dissatisfied cry.
The cat's round eyes stared longingly at Zhong Wan, its little paws patting Pei Xingyu's arm.
Pei Xingyu immediately understood and quickly pushed the plate of fish meat in front of him, which had already been deboned, in front of Zhong Suisui: "Suisui, eat this. I've already deboned it for you."
Zhong Suisui then lowered her head in satisfaction and began to eat one bite after another, her tail tip swaying happily.
The dinner party began in such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
As everyone ate and chatted, they all tacitly avoided discussing work-related troubles. Instead, they talked more about interesting things that happened on set or shared some of their life experiences.
Zhong Wan listened quietly, maintaining a polite smile throughout, and handled the situation with ease.
Her poised and generous demeanor and gentle nature quickly won the favor of everyone present.
Lin Yan'an had originally spent most of his time taking good care of Zhong Suisui and Zhong Wan, but after seeing that Pei Xingyu had completely become a cat slave and was taking good care of Zhong Suisui, he completely let go of his worries and focused all his attention on Zhong Wan.
Every now and then, I'd put some food on her plate or quietly ask if she liked it.
In short, throughout the dinner, Lin Yan'an's gaze never left Zhong Wan, and the deep affection in his eyes was clearly visible to everyone present.
Besides Pei Xubai
For almost the entire time, he was happily circling around Zhong Suisui, peeling shrimp for it, picking out food for it, wiping its mouth, keeping himself very busy.
