"What took you so long?"
Wen Ting asked as soon as Xu Nanzhi entered their box.
The dishes have all been served, and it is obvious that both of them are waiting for me.
"Sorry, I just encountered an accident and took some time to deal with it."
Xu Nanzhi explained.
Wen Ting glanced at her and asked, "Are you okay?" There was some worry in his tone.
Xu Nanzhi shook his head: "It's okay."
She didn't say much, and Wen Ting didn't ask any more questions.
In the other private room, Cheng Yuanyuan was being urged to drink by a group of people: "Come on, Yuanyuan, you have to toast Director Zhang. If Director Zhang hadn't argued for this show, you really would have been replaced by the investors."
Cheng Yuanyuan didn't know what these people were thinking, and this was her first time seeing the leading female role, so she was still very excited.
Before I knew it, I had drunk a lot of alcohol.
With the assistant director and agent's cooperation, Cheng Yuanyuan, who wasn't the shy type, poured herself another glass of wine, stood up, and said to Director Zhang, who was sitting in the main seat, "Director Zhang, this is a toast to you. Thank you for your appreciation of me. Don't worry, I won't let you down with this film. I'll drink it. Please feel free to do as you please."
I have to say that Cheng Yuanyuan can still drink a lot.
Although she has never played the role of the female lead after so many years of debut, she has always been remarkable in the second place, and her drinking capacity was completely honed at one dinner party after another.
Seeing that Cheng Yuanyuan was not drunk at all, everyone was a little anxious. A little girl who was just talking outside the toilet door received the assistant director's gaze and said, "Yuanyuan, you are the protagonist today. Tell me, don't you want to play around so that everyone can share in your good luck?
This is a bit too much. No matter how good Cheng Yuanyuan's alcohol tolerance is, there are almost ten people at the table. If they all drink, I'm afraid even the best alcohol tolerance won't be able to handle it.
But the people around her were all booing her, and her manager was also trying to persuade her: "Yuanyuan, why don't you just play for a round? It's almost over anyway. Everyone's happy today, and you're the leading actress. If you get drunk later, I'll take you home. The driver is waiting outside."
These words made Cheng Yuanyuan a little shaken. The opportunity to play the leading role was hard-won. If playing a round could make the director happy, why not?
Just as I was hesitating, the door of the box opened. With a knock on the door, everyone looked at the waiter who came in.
The assistant director had drunk quite a bit today, and asked, somewhat drunkenly, "What's going on?"
The tone is not very good.
The waiter took a look and fixed his gaze on Cheng Yuanyuan: "Ms. Cheng, the last time you came here with your friends, you left something here. Would you be able to come with me to get it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, before Cheng Yuanyuan could say anything, her agent said, "Wouldn't it be the same if we just picked it up when we get there?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment: "Well, the person who keeps our things will be off work soon, so..."
Cheng Yuanyuan was a little confused when she heard what the waiter said. When had she been here with her friends? But she didn't show it.
Despite her doubts, Cheng Yuanyuan still said, "Oh, okay."
Just as she was about to get up, her agent grabbed her and said, "Yuanyuan, what is it? I'll get it for you. You stay here with me."
Cheng Yuanyuan glanced at her agent and said, "Sister Li, those are my friend's personal belongings. I'd better go."
Then he looked at Brother Wei at the table and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm going to go out for a while. So, I'll give you a round when I come back. I'm really sorry."
Although Cheng Yuanyuan was puzzled as to why the waiter said that, she still followed her out without saying a word.
After leaving the box, the two came to the staff rest area.
Cheng Yuanyuan stopped and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"This is my first time in your restaurant today. It's impossible that I left any of my friends' things behind."
The waiter looked around and then closed the door. "Miss Cheng, I'm so sorry. A lady asked me to call you out and said she wanted me to give this to you."
She just handed a folded piece of paper to Cheng Yuanyuan.
Cheng Yuanyuan opened it with doubts. After reading it, her expression was not very good: "Who gave this to you?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment and then said, "I don't know her last name, but she said that you met in Haicheng."
"Haicheng." Cheng Yuanyuan murmured. She had indeed gone to Haicheng to film a movie some time ago, but she met a lot of people there and really couldn't lock on the target.
"Then do you remember what she looks like?" Cheng Yuanyuan asked again.
The person in the isolation box spoke first: "She is very beautiful, with fair skin."
Hearing this description, Cheng Yuanyuan was speechless. There were simply too many girls like this in the entertainment industry.
"By the way, she was wearing a long cotton and linen dress today, and she didn't wear any jewelry."
This description made Cheng Yuanyuan think of a person, but she couldn't be sure, as they had only met once.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you."
. . . . . .
After Cheng Yuanyuan left the staff lounge, she went to the bathroom, tore up the note, and flushed it.
Afterwards, she calmed herself down and walked towards her previous box.
She never expected that her agency would have such thoughts. Even though she is now famous, she still does not forget to support the newcomers in the company. But who would have thought that these things of hers would be looked down upon.
In this case, she will no longer just focus on poverty alleviation, but will always have other plans.
How Cheng Yuanyuan would make her specific decision was not within Xu Nanzhi's consideration.
She had already sent the reminder, and if she didn't want to, she could always find a way.
After the three of them finished their meal, they drove back.
She thought Jiang Huaibei had forgotten about the thank-you gift, but unexpectedly, just as she went upstairs, Jiang Huaibei sent a message the next second: "Xu Nanzhi, don't forget my thank-you gift."
"I have time tomorrow. If you're not busy, I can come and get it myself."
Unexpectedly, this person has such a good memory. Xu Nanzhi typed back, "Let's talk about it later. I have to go to the company tomorrow and may not have time to entertain you. I'll contact you when I'm free."
These words were obviously perfunctory. Jiang Huaibei looked at the message she sent and chuckled.
"How about I come and get it tomorrow morning, before you go to the company? This way it won't take up too much of your time."
After reading this, Xu Nanzhi sent a message directly: "No, Wen Ting was here this morning too."
The next second, Jiang Huaibei's next shipment arrived: "Why can't it be done when Wen Ting is here? What you said makes me think that we are having an affair."
