After passing through the first-floor lobby and entering the backyard, I discovered that there was a very large garden behind it with a pond dug in the middle. In the crystal clear water were several koi fish. Under the light, their beautiful scales sparkled, which was a beautiful sight.
The moonlight poured down on the water like silk. The wind blew gently, and the reflection on the water surface was rippling. The moon in the water opened a few petals shining with silver light.
Next to the pond is a uniquely shaped rockery with the name of the hotel, "Nanzhou", carved on it. From a distance, the rugged and uneven rocks create a unique artistic conception.
Su Nan followed the waiter around the corridor hung with red lanterns before arriving at the door of the private room.
Standing at the door, you can hear bursts of laughter coming from inside. It is obvious that the atmosphere is good. The waiter reached out and knocked on the door three times. The conversation paused for two seconds before a deep male voice sounded.
"Come in."
The waiter opened the door a crack, nodded slightly at Su Nan, then turned and left in the direction he came from.
Su Nan adjusted her facial expression, put on a decent and gentle smile, pushed open the door and walked in. Before she had time to greet everyone, her eyes met with the person sitting in the main seat opposite her.
Suddenly, Su Nan's smile froze on her face, and her hand holding the door handle slowly tightened, and her delicately trimmed nails pricked her palm.
The private room was very large and decorated in Chinese style. Various delicious dishes were placed on the mahogany round table. There were more than a dozen people sitting around the round table, all dressed in suits and looking like successful people.
These people all had family backgrounds long ago, and they took advantage of the favorable policies to become wealthy first. They were either big factory owners or CEOs of large companies, and they had so much money in their pockets that it was unbelievable.
This time, they offered a sky-high five-digit price to invite Su Nan to endorse their company's new product. This unprecedented big move was simply jaw-dropping.
As the saying goes, if you don't make money, you are a bastard.
So Su Nan didn't care that today was his birthday and New Year's Day, and came here to socialize and discuss cooperation. Naturally, he came with the purpose of signing a 100% contract.
But what she didn't expect was that the client of this advertising cooperation was actually her ex-boyfriend Zhou Rang.
The man sitting in the main seat was wearing a black suit without a tie. The collar of his white shirt was slightly open, revealing his fair skin. His delicate collarbone was faintly visible, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down as he drank, looking extremely sexy.
Even when sitting on a chair, he still kept his back straight and looked serious and solemn. His thin face gave him an air of fierceness that made people afraid to get close to him. The curve of his mouth was indifferent and distant.
It was like the first time we met in the black market. He looked so dangerous.
The man was the first to look away, his eyes slightly lowered, his fingertips lightly tapping the rim of the glass, revealing a casual and unconcerned feeling, as if they didn't know each other at all.
"Oh, our famous actress is finally here." A voice brought Su Nan back to her senses, and she recognized that this person was the one who called her in just now.
"Hey, I'm sorry that I wasted some time on the way here." Su Nan walked forward as if nothing had happened, shook the hands that were extended, and explained with a smile.
Yang Jianyuan laughed heartily and held her hand tightly, jokingly saying to everyone at the round table, "Wait, beauty, it's nothing. Seeing your true face is a great honor for us, it's worth it."
Hearing this, Su Nan smiled in agreement, and while looking for a seat, he naturally pulled his hand out of the other person's hand, then walked to the only empty seat in the box and sat down.
This position was very strange. It was right next to Zhou Rang's arm and right next to his seat. The distance between the two of them was so close that they could touch each other with just the slightest movement.
Just as Su Nan sat down, her long legs rubbed against him.
Noticing the faint gaze looking at him from the side, Su Nan really wanted to curse the person who arranged the seats. Didn't he know that there would be so many people and not book a bigger private room?
It now seemed as if she saw Zhou Rang had become "rich" and was deliberately rubbing his thigh and then seducing him wantonly.
Su Nan was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
"Ms. Su, you're a very busy person now. It's been quite a while since we last met, right?"
A young man wearing glasses sitting opposite Su Nan suddenly stood up and raised his glass towards her. He looked gentle and refined.
"Mr. Gao, what you said is true. You are too busy and don't have time to see me. Look, you didn't even tell me when you came to Beijing."
Su Nan recognized that the other person was the son of a high-ranking official whom she had met several times when filming in Northwest China a few years ago. She quickly stood up, poured herself a glass of juice, and glared at him coquettishly with curved eyebrows, as if their relationship was really that close.
When I stood up, I inevitably bumped into the people around me.
In social situations, one more friend means one more bargaining chip. When other people saw the two of them chatting freely, their faces changed and they had new considerations in their minds.
"My father was just transferred back to Beijing not long ago, so I haven't had time yet." Hearing Su Nan's words, Gao Peng's smile deepened. He raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.
Su Nan pursed her lips and smiled, then drank up the juice in the cup in her hand.
"Why are you still drinking nonsense at the table like you're playing house? Come on, let me pour some wine for Miss Su." Yang Jianyuan walked around most of the table, picked up the red wine bottle, and was about to fill it up for Su Nan.
Before Su Nan could refuse, Gao Peng at the side took the lead to stop Yang Jianyuan and said, "Hey, Mr. Yang, you don't know that Nan Nan can't drink."
In a short period of time, the name she addressed changed from Miss Su to the rather intimate Nan Nan.
Su Nan frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Gao Peng, and met his burning gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.
"What's there to drink? Just one glass, you won't get drunk." Yang Jianyuan obviously didn't take this seriously and still insisted on pouring wine for Su Nan.
Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Su Nan sighed in her heart. It seemed that she had met a difficult person who insisted on forcing her to drink. She had never encountered such a situation before, and she was a little panicked for a moment.
But she knew she couldn't set this precedent, because if she drank this glass of wine this time, then next time someone would definitely use it as an excuse to pour her wine.
Then the lie of alcohol allergy will be exposed.
Because she couldn't drink much and had bad drinking habits, she told everyone from the beginning that she was allergic to alcohol.
Most people in the current circle know about this, and few people would let her drink at a drinking party. If people knew that she was not really allergic to alcohol, wouldn't it cause an uproar?
"Mr. Yang, I really can't drink. I'm allergic to alcohol and it can be fatal." Su Nan scratched his neck. The humorous and natural action made many people laugh.
But Yang Jianyuan seemed determined to set this precedent. After waving his hand, he squeezed in from the gap between Su Nan and Zhou Rang, picked up her wine glass and poured wine into it.
He was still mumbling, "What alcohol allergy? I've never heard of it in my life."
Hearing this, the smile on Su Nan's face could no longer be maintained and suddenly turned cold.
