They talked about the play and their life experiences. They talked for a long time before Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen pushed the door open.
Seeing them come in, Director Chen ran over happily, "Prince, Miss Xia, you are here."
Seeing that everyone was there, Xia Xingchen casually asked, "Have you been waiting for us for a long time?"
Without thinking, Director Chen replied insincerely, "No, we just arrived too."
Xia Xingchen nodded in understanding. If they had just arrived, the atmosphere wouldn't be so lively.
Director Chen politely invited Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen to take the main seats and handed the menu to them. "Prince, Miss Xia, please take a look at what you would like to eat. I will cover all expenses for tonight."
I have to say that Director Chen’s attitude of admitting his mistakes is really good.
Gong Bingye considerately handed the menu to Xia Xingchen.
Xia Xingchen handed the menu back to Director Chen without even looking at it, "Since you're the host, you take care of it."
In that case, Director Chen didn't refuse. He smiled and asked, "Do the Crown Prince and Miss Xia have any dietary restrictions?"
Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen shook their heads at the same time.
Song Yixuan had never thought that someone as famous as Director Chen was so good at flattery, but when he was in front of Xia Xingchen, he was like a pug.
What a loser.
After Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen sat down, everyone gathered around them one after another.
Director Chen took the menu and started ordering food from the exclusive waiter in the private room. While ordering, he asked everyone if they wanted to eat anything. Then, without waiting for Director Chen to look at the menu, everyone called out the names of the dishes one after another.
In the end, Director Chen ordered nearly thirty dishes and several bottles of expensive wine.
It can be seen that Director Chen really spent a lot of money this time.
The dishes were served very quickly and soon all the dishes were served.
The waiter brought the wine up, opened the lid, and was about to pour it for them when Director Chen immediately stopped him, "Go pour it for the others, leave this to me."
Director Chen took the wine from the waiter and poured it for Gong Bingye.
The waiter also poured wine for everyone else, except Xia Xingchen and those who didn't drink.
Director Chen was the first to stand up, raise his glass, and begin his speech: "Thank you all for your hard work over the past few months. Without your efforts, this drama would not have been possible. Regardless of whether the ratings of this drama are good or bad after its release, I, Chen, would like to thank you all here first."
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses as well. Upon hearing this, the male lead said, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Chen. This is not just a play, it also reflects the joys and sorrows of all of us!"
"Well said." Someone echoed, "We toast to Director Chen as well."
Everyone raised their glasses, and the next second, the wine in the glasses was drunk.
Seeing that Gong Bingye had also finished the wine in the glass, Song Yixuan couldn't help but look under the table at the medicine bag in his other hand.
Director Chen asked everyone to sit down and said, "Don't just drink, eat more food."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating without hesitation.
After all, the prince was present, so everyone was a little restrained while eating.
Director Chen saw that Gong Bingye had finished his glass, so he poured him another. After filling it up, he poured himself another full glass. Then, he stood up, held the glass with both hands, and apologized sincerely, "Your Highness, I am to blame for Miss Xia's injury this time. Thankfully, God has mercy on Miss Xia and she is safe. I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and let this matter go."
"You want me to forgive you just like that?" Gong Bingye deliberately made things difficult.
Hearing this, Xia Xingchen advised: "Ye, this matter has nothing to do with Director Chen. It was completely an accident. Don't implicate the innocent."
"Ms. Xia is right, this was just an accident. I will definitely prevent it from happening again in the future." Director Chen took advantage of the situation and was very good at observing people's words and expressions.
Gong Bingye closed his eyelids and said, "Since the girl doesn't bother with you, I won't embarrass you, but..."
He suddenly said seriously: "This is the last time."
Director Chen nodded immediately, "Yes, Prince, I promise, this will definitely be the last time."
Gong Bingye then picked up the wine on the table and drank it with Director Chen.
After drinking, Director Chen looked at Xia Xingchen with gratitude. This time, he owed her a favor.
Everyone knows that Gong Bingye is the Crown Prince of Lidu, who is extremely powerful and a big shot in the entertainment industry. Everyone wants to curry favor with him to get to the top.
Now, having encountered such a good opportunity, the male lead of "Sister is the Queen" naturally would not miss it.
After Director Chen toasted Gong Bingye with wine, the male lead also stood up and toasted Gong Bingye.
What made the male protagonist overjoyed was that the prince actually accepted his wine, which was a good start for the male protagonist.
Little did he know that the reason Gong Bingye accepted his wine was only after Xia Xingchen understood what was going on, and then Gong Bingye drank it.
Seeing this, other unknown young actors also plucked up the courage to toast Gong Bingye with wine.
At this moment, Gong Bingye was like a little punching bag who was trying to please his wife.
Even though he was disgusted, he lowered himself to accept their wine for Xia Xingchen's sake.
Seeing this scene, Song Yixuan couldn't help but think proudly: My chance has come.
So, she slowly stood up from the chair, and as she walked towards Gong Bingye, she secretly put the medicine in her hand into the wine.
"Prince, I'll toast you a glass." Song Yixuan smiled gently and politely extended her hands to Gong Bingye.
Gong Bingye didn't look at Song Yixuan, but looked at Xia Xingchen instead. Seeing that Xia Xingchen was eating idly and didn't even look at him, Gong Bingye stretched out his hand and refused the wine handed to him by Song Yixuan.
Before this, Gong Bingye accepted the wine toasts from other young actors in the drama, but refused the one from the heroine herself.
You know, she is a first-line actress signed by Gong Xia. How could the prince be so disrespectful to her?
With so many people watching, isn't the prince afraid of losing face in front of these minions?!
Sure enough, the next second, there was a whisper of criticism at the dinner table:
"Thinking back then, Song Yixuan bullied Miss Xia so much, and now, she wants to flatter the Crown Prince. Song Yixuan is really shameless."
"After all, Song Yixuan is still a contracted actress of Gong Xia. The fact that the Crown Prince doesn't give Song Yixuan any face for Miss Xia shows how much Miss Xia holds in the Crown Prince's heart."
"Isn't it? The Crown Prince is willing to attend our small wrap-up party just for Miss Xia. Need I explain this affection?"
"Song Yixuan is really blind. The Crown Prince has officially announced his relationship with Miss Xia on Weibo. As a signed artist of Gong Xia's, she not only doesn't know how to curry favor with Miss Xia, but also tries every possible way to bully her!"
"Miss Xia looks skinny and small, and seems like she's easy to bully. No wonder Song Yixuan is so aggressive."
“…”
Hearing these harsh words, Song Yixuan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode!
