☆, Chapter 21 Dinner Party
"It's not inconvenient at all. Since we all share the same interests, it's okay to communicate with each other." Wen Mianyu agreed very kindly.
But I don’t feel very comfortable.
She loves opera and is not shy about performing, but performing at a dinner table like this is obviously something a starlet would do for entertainment.
In her previous life, with her status, no one would dare to ask her to do such a thing, but with her current status and position, many things cannot be challenged. The producer said this to please the investors. If she refused, it would be too offensive, so she could only endure it for the time being.
"Let's sing a piece of Romance of the West Chamber." Wen Mianyu stood up and started singing without even a transition.
Compared to her seriousness during the audition, now she can be said to be completely perfunctory, with no movements at all, just singing dryly.
But even so, her good looks and sweet voice still attracted Chen Yaoqing deeply, and the man's eyes became darker as he looked at her.
After singing a piece, Wen Mianyu sat down without saying any polite words and drank some water to moisten his throat.
Chen Yaoqing clapped his hands and said, "Miss Su's singing is so good. It's been a long time since I heard such a flavorful Peking Opera. It's really a feast for my ears."
"It's just a hobby, not that good." Wen Mianyu said in a flat tone.
"Miss Su, you're being too modest. With your abilities, you should have been famous long ago. It's only now that you've landed the female lead role..." Chen Yaoqing sighed with regret, his eyes lingering on Wen Mianyu with a meaningful look. "It can be said that good things come to those who wait. Now that you've met me, I swear I won't let Miss Su's talent go to waste."
Everyone present is a smart person. Chen Yaoqing's interest and hints are so obvious, who can't see it?
Lu Congxu frowned, feeling the taste of the red wine he had just drunk rising up, making him feel nauseous.
He has always disliked this kind of occasion. He came to the dinner today for Director Lin's sake. He didn't invite the actress because he didn't want this kind of thing to happen. He didn't expect that Director Lin's good intentions would backfire.
Wen Mianyu didn't expect that Mr. Chen was so lustful, even though he already had three children at home.
Not wanting to offend anyone, Wen Mianyu didn't respond and said perfunctorily, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kindness."
Seeing her uncooperative, the producer thought she didn't understand and winked at her, "Mr. Chen likes it, that's a face for Jasmine. Jasmine, why don't you go over and pour Mr. Chen some wine to thank him."
Wen Mianyu's eyes were so cold that they were about to freeze.
She was giving Director Lin enough face by being willing to sing the song, but he actually dared to ask her to pour wine. Did he really treat her as a drinking companion?
"Producer Liu is so enthusiastic, why don't you go over there?" Wen Mianyu said with a sneer.
The producer's expression suddenly turned cold, and he lowered his voice, "Su Moli, Mr. Chen thinks highly of you, which is a compliment to you. Don't be ungrateful."
Wen Mianyu ignored him and stood up. "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom. Please excuse me."
…
Adults' hints and rejections are tacit.
The meaning of Wen Mianyu's dodging was obvious, and anyone who was not a fool could see it.
Wen Mianyu thought that when she returned to the private room, Chen Yaoqing would have calmed down, but when she came out of the cubicle, she saw Chen Yaoqing standing outside the bathroom door.
This person actually came here!
"Mr. Chen, this is a women's restroom. You'll be accused of sexual harassment if you do this." Wen Mianyu walked to the washbasin and put her hand under the automatic sensor faucet to rinse.
"Miss Su, you're joking. The compartment is inside and it's well sealed. Besides, there's no one else on this floor right now." Chen Yaoqing walked slowly behind her.
"Oh?" Wen Mianyu understood something, "Mr. Chen, are you here to stop me?"
I also confirmed in advance that there was no one on this floor.
"How can you say it's crowded?" Chen Yaoqing curled his lips meaningfully. "To be honest, I still like Miss Su very much. With Miss Su's talent and beauty, if someone is willing to invest resources in her, she will be a big star in no time."
"Yeah, I think so too." Wen Mianyu raised her head and looked at him in the mirror. "But with my ability, I don't need anyone else to support me. I can become famous on my own, so there's really no need to trouble Mr. Chen."
"Whether it works or not, you'll know after you try it." Chen Yaoqing approached her from behind and whispered in her ear in a low voice, "Why are you pretending to be so reserved, huh? You were singing so seductively on the table just now, weren't you just trying to seduce me..."
Chen Yaoqing deliberately spoke vaguely for the last few words, and then he emphasized his voice, "But I just like your unwilling tone, it makes the game more fun. I don't mind a bit of forced drama here, if you don't want to go to my bed obediently..."
