Zhao Fan couldn't help but look at Meng Fu. Apart from Su Cheng and Su Di, the only people invited by Meng Fu to have dinner together should be Chu Yue and the others.
She knew in her heart that Meng Fu, Li Qingning, and Che Shao had only known each other for the past month. Even if Li Qingning cared about Meng Fu, it would be inappropriate to bring anyone else to this kind of dinner except Su Cheng and the others.
But Meng Fu has never been a person who acts recklessly, and she probably has her own intentions in doing this.
Li Qingning's agent also received a call. When he heard Meng Fu's words, he glanced at Meng Fu but didn't say anything.
Li Qingning, on the other hand, didn't mind. He raised his hand and said, "Are you a friend? It's okay. Come along. There are more young people, and it's more lively. Che Shao, don't you choose what to eat?"
"This is it," Che Shao handed the mobile page to Li Qingning to look at, "It's the pressed duck restaurant I just mentioned."
"Okay." After deciding on a place to eat, the two of them headed towards the pressed duck restaurant.
They all rode in Li Qingning's nanny car, which had a spacious and comfortable interior. Meng Fu asked for the address and sent it to the other party.
"You didn't finish looking at the chess game that Xi Nancheng had today, did you?" In the car, Li Qingning and Che Shao finally had the opportunity to talk to Meng Fu in detail about the problems with yesterday's chess game.
Because there was no camera, Meng Fu took out the exercises that Teacher Zhou had given her, with only the last question left.
...
...
The last question is difficult in calculation, as it involves calculating a coefficient and requires a huge amount of calculations.
Meng Fu listed a bunch of formulas on another piece of paper.
"Why did you start doing these questions?" Che Shao came over to take a look, then pointed at the questions Meng Fu was doing and asked.
In the past two days, he and Li Qingning had seen Meng Fu calculating equations with a pen when he stopped filming.
"To be honest," Meng Fu didn't look up, biting the tip of the pen and counting, "I went to school again, and the teacher assigned me homework."
Back to school?
Li Qingning and Che Shao looked at each other. They naturally knew about Meng Fu's recent negative news on the Internet, but they didn't know that Meng Fu was so tough and went back to school as soon as she said she would.
"Learning never ends," Li Qingning patted Meng Fu's shoulder, "Not bad, I'll take the acting exam in three years."
There are people with high academic qualifications in the entertainment industry, but there are also people with low academic qualifications who started as extras and climbed to the position of movie emperor. As long as they have the ability, Li Qingning has not expressed any opinion on Meng Fu's academic qualifications. From what he knows, Meng Fu's knowledge level is not low at all.
Of course, Li Qingning didn’t know that Meng Fu went to No. 1 Middle School, let alone that she was still in her senior year of high school.
Meng Fu used the derivative to calculate the square relationship between the two equations, then looked up and asked Li Qingning, "Teacher Li, I see you like Go very much."
"I do like it, but it's just a hobby. There's still some gap between me and those people in the Go club." Apart from acting, Li Qingning has dabbled in other things. It's no secret that he is knowledgeable in the circle.
Meng Fu and Che Shao could see all this when Xi Nancheng was explaining Go to them yesterday.
Among them, only Li Qingning listened most attentively.
As the group was talking, they had already arrived at the place where Che Shao mentioned they were going to eat pressed duck.
This is an old restaurant. It's almost five o'clock now, and there are not many people eating here.
Meng Fu and Che Shao both wore masks and followed their agent inside. They didn't even wear sunglasses or anything else. The group looked quite spectacular and attracted many people in the hall to watch, but no one could see anything.
They finally booked a private room.
The box was quite large, and there was still plenty of space after Meng Fu, Li Qingning and others took their seats.
Li Qingning's agent did not sit down first, but just gestured to Li Qingning at the door, indicating that he should go out.
Li Qingning had just taken the tea poured by Zhao Fan, and when he saw his agent's gesture, he looked at Meng Fu and Che Shao and smiled, "I'll go to the bathroom first."
"Go ahead, Teacher Li." Che Shao greeted Li Qingning.
Meng Fu finished the last question and took photos of the three sheets of paper and sent them to Teacher Zhou.
At this point, Teacher Zhou should still be teaching in the intensive class. Not seeing her WeChat message and not replying, Meng Fu chatted with Che Shao beside her.
**
The restroom is at the end of the corridor.
Li Qingning washed his hands carefully. His agent was standing next to him washing his hands and told him about the call he had just received: "I just received a call from Sheng Jun's team."
"Mr. Sheng?" Li Qingning raised his eyebrows. He took out a piece of paper and wiped his hands.
The agent pushed up his glasses and said in a serious tone, "Well, they seem to have said that there is some news about Director Xu. Director Xu is indeed filming recently. From what they said, Director Xu may still be short of roles."
Because this matter was of great importance, the agent found an opportunity to let Li Qingning come out and explain in detail.
Hearing Director Xu, Li Qingning was shocked, "Really? How come there is no news from the industry?"
But on second thought, that was Xu Bochuan after all, he had a wealthy family and was at the top of the film and television industry. He was interested in Go, so the Go club personally sent an invitation to Xu Bochuan.
There is no news about him, which is not surprising at all.
If he didn't want the news to be leaked, no one in the entertainment industry would dare to say anything.
What's more, many people in the entertainment industry, big and small, regard Xu Bochuan as an idol.
"If Director Xu makes a comeback, the entire entertainment industry will experience an earthquake," the agent shook his head. "Some big bosses have already heard the news. Even Sheng Jun knows about it. She just called me and said she wanted to talk to you about Director Xu."
Li Qingning is a senior artist in the circle. Sheng Jun finally has this channel, so it is not surprising that he wants to establish a good relationship with Sheng Jun.
However, when the agent heard that Li Qingning invited Meng Fu and Che Shao to dinner, the agent felt sorry but did not agree immediately.
Li Qingning thought about it, took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Sheng Jun back.
He expressed his gratitude and tactfully told her that he was treating Meng Fu and others to dinner.
They only talked briefly about Director Xu's matter on the show last time, and judging from Sheng Jun's expression now, she did know some inside information.
"Teacher Li, are you having dinner with Brother Che Shao and the others?" Sheng Jun's voice sounded a little surprised on the other end of the phone.
Although it was a rare opportunity to establish a relationship with Li Qingning, Sheng Jun did not want to reveal Director Xu's affairs to Meng Fu and the others.
She paused and said, "Teacher Li, wait a minute, I'll ask Nancheng."
Hearing Li Qingning and Meng Fu, Xi Nancheng lowered his eyes and shook his head, "Thank Teacher Li for me. Several brothers from the Go Club are here tonight. Let's make an appointment next time we have a chance."
After the show ended, Sheng Jun used his connections to arrange a dinner with Xi Nancheng.
Hearing Sheng Jun's question, Xi Nancheng refused without even thinking about it.
Today was a rare opportunity to invite several brothers from the Go Club to dinner, so Xi Nancheng naturally would not miss the dinner.
Compared to Meng Fu and Che Shao, Xi Nancheng would naturally eat with Sheng Jun and a few people from the Go Club.
"Then let's make an appointment next time." Li Qingning was a little cold towards Xi Nancheng, but still polite to Sheng Jun.
The two hung up the phone.
On Sheng Jun's side, she looked at Xi Nancheng with a smile: "Teacher Li is having dinner with Sister Meng Fu and the others, so he probably can't come. It's a pity that Teacher Li is quite interested in your Go Club."
**
"Xi Nancheng and the others were having dinner with people from the Go Club?" Upon hearing this, the agent smiled and glanced at Li Qingning, "Are you regretting your quick words now? Not only did you get to hear news about Director Xu, but you also got to hear from a few friends from the Go Club."
Li Qingning was more open-minded than his agent: "Not really."
I had already considered inviting Meng Fu and the others to dinner today, but Che Shao was busy with his schedule and had to fly back at eight o'clock in the evening.
"It would have been better if Sheng Jun had called two minutes earlier." The agent didn't care about Li Qingning's answer and just said it regretfully.
He was not surprised by Li Qingning's decision to invite Sheng Jun again. No one in the circle would miss the opportunity to "direct a movie by Xu".
Li Qingning put his phone back in his pocket, wiped his hands, and threw the tissue into the trash can next to him. He remembered something and said, "I asked you to pay attention to the recent dramas in the circle. How about it? Have you come across any dramas suitable for Meng Fu?"
Ever since the last drama he introduced to Meng Fu was unsuccessful, Li Qingning has been paying attention to these scenes.
This incident almost became a knot in his heart, and he felt sorry for his child.
I finally got her a role, but in the end, she wasn't even given an audition and was let go.
This is so infuriating to hear.
Li Qingning was indeed in a bad mood for several days.
Recently, he has been looking for resources for Meng Fu. He knows quite a few directors and screenwriters in the circle and has a lot of connections, but it is still a bit difficult to find a play suitable for Meng Fu in a short period of time.
So he asked his agent to keep an eye on it for him.
"You really care about Meng Fu. Over the years, I've never seen you support any junior like this." The agent glanced at Li Qingning. He had gotten used to the agent's attention to Meng Fu in the past two days. He smiled and walked out with him: "But recently I came across a web drama. I think the setting is very interesting. These web dramas don't require very high acting skills and are very suitable for Meng Fu. I'm discussing it with the production team."
"It's fate. We must not make any mistakes this time," Li Qingning smiled. "This kid really suits my taste. He's not cunning and knows a lot. I haven't met someone I can talk to in many years."
The agent glanced at Li Qingning. He was personally overseeing the online drama and there would be no mistakes.
Listening to Li Qingning's words, he sighed, "What's the matter with her suddenly joining you for dinner tonight?"
Speaking of Meng Fu suddenly inviting a friend over tonight, Li Qingning was also a little surprised. Meng Fu has always been steady and never tried to touch other people's privacy when getting along with others.
After hearing what his agent said, he thought about it and didn't care: "Don't think too much, it's probably just a few young people together, don't worry."
"Well," the agent glanced at him, "Anyway, be careful when you eat later. You trust Meng Fu, but her friends may not be worthy of your trust. You should pay attention to the others."
We have been partners for so many years, and these are the only suggestions my agent can give us.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Qingning. It really was just two minutes.
**
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the box.
In the private room, Che Shao was looking at the menu. When he saw Li Qingning coming over, he handed the tablet to Li Qingning and said, "Mr. Li, you are a local. Take a look at what we should eat."
Li Qingning handed the tablet to his agent and asked him to make the arrangements.
The agent took the tablet and swiped it, then asked a few people in the room about their tastes. Then he remembered something and asked Meng Fu, "Meng Fu, does the guest you are going to have later have any dietary restrictions?"
"No, he's also a local," Meng Fu looked up, supporting his chin with his fingers, "he eats everything."
"Okay." The agent expressed his understanding and ordered a large table of dishes according to local specialties.
Ten minutes later, the appetizers arrived.
Several people didn't move their chopsticks. Seeing that Li Qingning was waiting, Zhao Fan looked at Meng Fu and asked her in a low voice: "You said you want to add one more person, but where is the person? It's not a good idea to keep Teacher Li waiting like this."
The only people she could think of coming were Chu Yue and the others.
It was indeed not right for these people to make Li Qingning wait, Zhao Fan couldn't help but remind Meng Fu.
Meng Fu flipped through her phone. "He just got off work not long ago. It will probably take another twenty minutes. Teacher Li, let's eat first. It's okay. I ate with him before, and he ate leftovers. Don't worry about it."
Meng Fu said as she used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for Li Qingning.
After hearing what Meng Fu said, the others at the table no longer remained polite. Zhao Fan thought about it and thought it was probably Chu Yue and the others. Meng Fu seemed to be quite capable in dealing with things.
The group waited for another two minutes, then slowly picked up their chopsticks and ate with Meng Fu and the others.
Fifteen minutes later, the waiter came in with a man.
The door of the box was opened by the waiter.
Those who had already eaten half of their meal looked outside the door. Because Meng Fu had previously said to be more casual, several people had similar ideas to Zhao Fan, so no one stood up. They ate while looking at the person behind the waiter.
The sound of eating in the entire box stopped abruptly.
