Chapter 28 Chapter 28 What the hell.
"I'm truly honored that Mr. Cheng is willing to honor me with your presence today."
Du Hong, chairman of Tingyao Company, had a rosy face, and all the wrinkles on his face looked like a flower. He held up a glass of wine and invited Mr. Cheng to take a seat.
The Wan Ting Hotel has become a high-end club integrating high-end business banquets, entertainment, and hospitality in recent years, often frequented by prominent figures and celebrities. Today, President Du hosted a banquet at his own hotel, and he hadn't initially expected President Cheng to attend. Unexpectedly, President Cheng not only showed up, but arrived early, earning him considerable respect among his colleagues.
Some people who originally thought that no big shots would come to this event and arrived on time were shocked to see that Mr. Cheng had arrived, and they had to drink and apologize again.
Mr. Cheng is actually a generation younger than them, but he is already a leader in the industry who can step on them at such a young age. They don't even have time to apologize, so how can they dare to act like an elder? Besides, this gentleman is not the kind of person who respects the elderly.
Du Hong eagerly poured wine for Mr. Cheng.
"arrive."
After getting out of the car, Jiang Yiyu looked at the golden, luxurious and gorgeous name of the club.
"Wanting?"
The bright all-glass design and the magnificent gate with carved beams and painted buildings give people an inexplicable feeling of being both elegant and low-end.
"This place opened a couple of years ago, so it's big and has lots of fun. There's a hotel upstairs, so it's perfect for parties. Of course, it can't compare to those high-end membership clubs like yours." Tang Ya was obviously a regular, pulling Jiang Yiyun along as she went. "I wanted to book the President Room, but they said it was booked, so we had to book the Xiangxueju next door."
Two rows of well-trained waiters opened the welcoming door for them. The perfect warmth dispelled the chill, and waiters with characteristic smiles led them to the private room. Xiangxueju was not far from the lobby. According to the sign, Xiangxueju was further down the hall, which was the largest presidential suite.
"Surprise!" As soon as Jiang Yiyu pushed the door open, she was hit by the fireworks exploding on both sides. Tang Ya had obviously known about the surprise and deliberately fell behind, just avoiding the explosion range of the fireworks.
Xiangxueju is a large entertainment hall that can accommodate more than 50 people. It seems even more spacious when there are only a few of them. However, the lights and music are all turned up, and a banner with red background and white letters "Warmly welcome Miss Jiang back to China to guide the work" is hung high on the wall. Colorful balloons are pasted all over the wall, which set off the atmosphere and made it look quite realistic.
The mood that had become bad because of Cheng Shuze throughout the afternoon suddenly relaxed a little.
Jiang Yiyun peeled off the confetti on her hair and clothes: "Your welcome ceremony is so tacky."
"This is clearly our simple and sincere expression of emotion." Assistant Wu Jun smiled and put away the salute in his hand.
"Why are you here so late? We've already ordered a round of songs." Cheng Shuyi was very excited. "Sister Jiang is late. You have to drink a penalty drink today."
"That's right."
Everyone started to cheer, and Jiang Yiyu didn't hesitate. She drank three small cups of low-alcohol fruit wine, which completely dispelled the coldness.
The presidential room was filled with smoke, and the atmosphere was lively with conversations, singing and laughter.
Even though today's protagonist, Mr. Cheng, the leader in the main seat, had a cold face and looked unhappy, everyone was tactful enough not to let the atmosphere get worse.
It is normal for Mr. Cheng to have a cold face. They will shudder if one day he is as gentle as a spring breeze or drizzle.
Most of the people present today brought their female companions, and some were called in to show their support. They were graceful and charming, and amidst their sweet laughter, they couldn't help but glance at the cold and handsome man in the first seat.
Especially Du Yisang, who was sitting on Cheng Shuze's left, wearing a figure-hugging high-slit velvet dress, with delicate makeup, and was particularly charming.
The seating arrangement at a business banquet is very particular. The host should sit in the main seat, but this time Mr. Cheng should sit at the head, and next to him should be Mr. Du. However, Mr. Du smiled and waved his hand to let his daughter sit next to Mr. Cheng.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see what Mr. Du was up to and couldn't help but criticize him inwardly.
Mr. Du only came to Linjiang from other places to do business in the past two years. Before coming, he didn't even go around to burn incense and inquire about what kind of person Mr. Cheng is.
He was a cold-hearted businessman, a man of cold feelings, not interested in women, and certainly not men. He had beaten countless men to death, yet he still dared to brazenly try to match his daughter with Mr. Cheng and become a relative of the Cheng family. Mr. Cheng's ex-wife, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, was a prominent figure in Linjiang, having just divorced two years ago. He wasn't afraid to ask for a fight.
Several people looked at each other, and then kept silent tacitly, ready to wait and watch the show.
However, regarding the matter of a seat, Mr. Cheng allowed Miss Du to act pretentiously next to him without even looking at her. He seemed completely indifferent and didn't take it to heart at all.
This indifferent attitude gave Boss Du some kind of illusion, but he thought there might be hope, and continued to promote it desperately.
"Speaking of which, our Sangsang and Mr. Cheng are truly destined to be together," Du Hong said with a shy face. "The last movie Sangsang filmed was also produced with the investment of Mr. Cheng. If Mr. Cheng hadn't had such a keen eye and chosen our Sangsang from so many people, Sangsang wouldn't be where she is today. I have the opportunity to meet Mr. Cheng today, and Sangsang must express her gratitude to him."
Du Yisang, a new star who has gained some fame in the entertainment industry recently, played a likable second female lead in an ancient costume drama. Although her acting skills were not good, she had a good face, great makeup and a great character. While the drama was a hit, even though the character she played was criticized, she still attracted a wave of fans with the title of a resourceful actress.
There were some third- and fourth-tier celebrities at the dinner. Seeing this previously unheard-of 18th-tier celebrity sitting so close to the front of the table, one knew she must be quite someone. But one hadn't expected her to be not only Boss Du's daughter, but also to be trying to climb the Cheng family's ladder.
In recent years, the Cheng Group has expanded its business and established a subsidiary, Yunyi Film and Television, to invest in film and television dramas. However, investment is investment, and producers and directors are appointed. As for trivial matters such as casting and filming, they are not within the scope of Yunyi's business, let alone bothering the group president with such trivial matters.
If Du Hong said that Du Yisang was personally selected by President Cheng, it would be too much of a compliment to himself.
"Oh?" Cheng Shuze didn't really care about the internal affairs of the subsidiary, and he had no impression of Du Yisang. However, since the film and television industry was mentioned, he rarely shifted his gaze and glanced at the person next to him. "What movie?"
"'Presented to Liu Yanhui'." Du Yisang's cheeks flushed at the sight, her eyes seductive, her voice exceptionally soft and melodious. Her red nail polish made her complexion appear even more delicate and fair under the light. She approached Cheng Shuze with a wine glass and said in a coquettish voice, "Thank you, Young Master Cheng, for your cultivation. Sangsang offers you a drink."
Cheng Shuze didn't move, nor did he show any intention of picking up the wine glass to clink it with his own to show his respect.
Du Yisang was quite clever. She held the wine glass at an angle while facing Cheng Shao. The shape of her skirt that was loosely attached to her body just highlighted most of her snow-white chest. Seeing that Cheng Shuze didn't move, she knew that her trick didn't work. She took the initiative to touch the wine glass that Cheng Shuze placed on the table with her wine glass. With a crisp clang, Du Yisang tilted her head back and drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.
"I did it, Mr. Cheng, please do as you please."
The private room was filled with deafening, exaggerated music with chaotic tunes, and there was barbecue, beer, dice, cards and everything else on the table.
Jiang Yiyun was helpless: "You guys just order barbecue for the party, why don't you eat something delicious?"
"Sister Jiang, you don't understand." Wu Jun and his companions shared a microphone and shouted at Cheng Shuyi heartbreakingly. Cheng Shuyi was forced to reply at the top of her lungs, "In a hotel like this that's positioned as a high-end club, you have to order the most simple barbecue and beer to test their skills. The ingredients and cooking methods they use are different from those outside."
Yes, when you eat barbecue in other restaurants, you usually can't order king crabs priced at 8888, lamb air-shipped from Inner Mongolia, and wagyu and sea urchin rolls. When the dishes are served, they use a smokeless charcoal grill to ensure the temperature, and the service is excellent.
"I heard you're filming on a set recently?"
"Yeah." Cheng Shuyi shrugged. "I sent out my resume widely for interviews. At first, I was lucky enough to get a minor role. Recently, I got lucky and got a ninth lead role with lines. I'll be joining the crew in a few weeks."
Jiang Yiyun frowned unconsciously: "You're going to play a supporting role? Why don't you ask Cheng Shuze for help?"
When Jiang Yiyu blurted out Cheng Shuze's name, she was stunned. She pursed her lips and then lowered her voice.
Cheng Shuyi had obviously thought of something as well. She glanced at Jiang Yiyun carefully, probably because she was afraid that mentioning her jerk brother would upset Jiang Jie. However, Jiang Yiyun's expression remained calm, revealing nothing. She reached out and rubbed the pillow, then smiled. "My brother...my brother doesn't care about me. I'm too lazy to look for him. We haven't spoken in a long time."
Jiang Yiyu frowned even tighter. The daughter of the Cheng Group actually had to play a supporting role.
It's not that she can't train herself up little by little. It's just that being an extra is too hard for most people to imagine, especially in the entertainment industry where people are taken advantage of and killed without a single bone. A rich girl has been spoiled since she was a child. Her family is not bankrupt, but she has to be an extra. She doesn't believe that she has never suffered any loss or been tripped up.
Cheng Shuyi saved up enough pocket money to join the crew and become the female lead. This kid is really able to endure hardship.
It’s all the fault of that heartless bastard Cheng Shuze.
Jiang Yiyun felt a mixture of heartache and anger, and hugged Cheng Shuyi: "It's okay, we don't care about your brother, that bastard. Come to me for the next play, and I will pick a role that suits you."
"Shuyi, you better think this through." Tang Ya listened to their conversation while peeling crayfish, her mouth full of oil. "Your sister Jiang is terrible at portraying characters. You might as well join another S+ crew instead of filming her drama. I'll recommend one for you."
"Go away and stop saying bad things about me in front of the kids." Jiang Yiyu glared at Tang Ya.
"It doesn't matter." Cheng Shuyi happily hugged Jiang Yiyu back, "If Sister Jiang wants me to, I can take pictures of anything."
Jiang Yiyu patted Cheng Shuyi's head with satisfaction, and at the same time, she made a big note of Cheng Shuze in her heart.
He is heartless and a beast in human form. He is not friendly to his sister and even stands her up and gives her a cold shoulder.
Something.
