The sky wasn't completely dark yet, and a few streetlights were sparsely lit.
The dinner was scheduled for 7 p.m.
The two hotels weren't far apart, so Lin Yang took the opportunity to go back, shower, and change into casual clothes.
A white shirt paired with wide-leg jeans is simple yet casual.
However, in this hot summer, long sleeves and trousers seem a bit out of place.
When Lin Yang arrived at the private room, it was already dark and the streetlights were on.
My forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat from the journey.
Lin Yang felt hot and wanted to roll up her long sleeves, but after rolling them up halfway, she remembered something and quickly put them down again.
This was a large private room. Pushing open the door, all the well-known actors, except for the extras, were present.
Including the staff, it accommodated a total of ten tables.
"Sorry, I was stuck in traffic and I'm late." Lin Yang apologized to everyone as soon as she opened the door, then separated from Duan Tiantian and went to their respective tables.
The lead actors, investors, and director sat at one table in the middle of the private room.
As Duan Tiantian's assistant, she naturally sat at a table that was quite far away.
"You're late, so you'll have to punish yourself with three drinks!" Before Lin Yang could even pull out a chair and sit down, someone started to create a lively atmosphere.
From the moment she entered, the person who spoke had his eyes fixed on her.
He stared at her, making her very uncomfortable, as if he were eyeing something she already possessed.
Lin Yang's hand, which was pulling the stool, didn't stop.
After sitting down, I took the bottle opener that was prepared in front of me and pried open the beer bottle cap.
The yellow liquid, mixed with bubbles, rolled into the glass.
Before the bubbles could settle, they were already in Lin Yang's mouth.
Lin Yang drank three cups in a row without saying a word and emptied the bottom of his cup in a hearty manner.
"That's great! I love Miss Lin's straightforwardness!" While Lin Yang was drinking, the man quietly switched seats with the person next to her.
The closer he got, the stronger Lin Yang's unease became.
"President Tang, you flatter me. I'm late, so I deserve to be punished. There's nothing to be upset about!" Lin Yang casually wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.
The person in front of me is Tang Guoqing, an investor in the film "Dynasty".
The original owner didn't have a good impression of him; his lecherous nature was common knowledge in the circle.
"I like Miss Lin's personality! Come, let me toast you!" Tang Guoqing filled his own glass with wine and then poured another glass into Lin Yang's glass, which she hadn't yet put down.
The hand holding the glass felt heavier, and the glass, coated with wine, gleamed with a slight coolness.
Everyone in the room looked up and stared at her, except for Xu Chengzhi, who was playing with his wine glass in silence.
The glasses clinked together, and Lin Yang swallowed another glass of wine.
"Alright! Miss Lin, let me toast you again!" Tang Guoqing's eyes were practically closed with laughter as he instantly refilled his and Lin Yang's glasses.
Lin Yang was forced to drink about ten cups of wine by Tang Guoqing, and no one around dared to step forward to smooth things over.
As Lin Yang touched the rim of the 16th cup to her lips, she glanced around the private room out of the corner of her eye, but she couldn't see Xiao Zheng.
She sighed inwardly. She had wanted Xiao Zheng to help her fend off the drinks, but unfortunately, he had something to do and couldn't attend the dinner.
After downing the 17th cup, Lin Yang still looked normal, but Tang Guoqing next to her was not so good; a faint blush of alcohol had settled on his cheeks.
"Miss Lin, drink...drink!" You see, Tang Guoqing can't even speak properly anymore.
Fine, if this old geezer is determined to die, there's nothing we can do.
Either she or he will drink themselves to death today!
They didn't even bother to ask about my name. Ever since I entered this circle in my original world, I've never known how to write the word "drunk."
"President Tang, I salute you!" Lin Yang smiled and pursed her lips, shifting from a passive to an active stance.
Her smile, along with her radiant and captivating appearance, made Tang Guoqing's heart flutter.
"Okay...okay! I...I like you just the way you are!" Tang Guoqing was already drunk, and under the influence of alcohol, he shamelessly tried to grope Lin Yang's buttocks.
Lin Yang was prepared and nimbly dodged to the side, causing Tang Guoqing to miss his target.
He wasn't annoyed; instead, his smile deepened as he raised his glass, taking it as flirting before getting down to business.
...
Halfway through the meal, this gathering of the film crew was turned into a drinking session just for the two of them by Lin Yang and Tang Guoqing.
During this time, Xu Chengzhi felt bored, and when Lin Yang drank his twentieth cup, he made an excuse to go back and rest.
The people in the private room were all snobs; Lin Yang and Tang Guoqing drank dozens of cups.
Because they were wary of the funds and influence behind Tang Guoqing, the investor, not a single one dared to utter a word.
Everyone pretended to be blind and did their own thing, refusing to get involved.
Her assistant, Duan Tiantian, wanted to help her, but she was entangled by observant people around her and could only watch Lin Yang's table anxiously.
"Drink...drink!" Tang Guoqing slumped on the table, still holding a wine glass in his hand, muttering incoherently.
Lin Yang drank as many cups as Tang Guoqing did.
The exact amount is countless; all I know is that towards the end, I became like an emotionless drinking machine.
She was still conscious, but her body reacted, her cheeks flushed red.
"Mr. Tang, would you like another drink?" Lin Yang pried open another bottle of beer, holding up the glass and speaking clearly, as if taunting Tang Guoqing, who was slumped over the table.
He was so drunk he could barely open his eyes, and his hands were constantly wandering around, trying to take advantage of his drunkenness to grope someone.
After groping around for a while, he finally touched the bouncy thing.
Without even opening his eyes, he boldly rubbed and kneaded it a few times, his lips curving upwards in an uncontrollable, lewd smile.
"What are you drinking for? Can't we go and take care of business?" Tang Guoqing said, then pinched her harder, enjoying the moment.
"Mr. Tang, could you please let go of my hand before you get down to business?" It was a man's voice, each word laced with anger.
Tang Guoqing was startled and hurriedly opened his eyes.
He was quite drunk; his face was blurry and double-looking.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the person who had been groping him was not Lin Yang at all, but Zheng Linzhou, the director of the film he had invested in!
Looking down again, he saw that his hand was still on Zheng Linzhou's buttocks.
Damn! After all that touching, he ended up touching a man's butt, and it was so bouncy!
Tang Guoqing quickly withdrew his hand from Zheng Linzhou, a moment of silence settling in his heart.
This scare jolted Tang Guoqing out of his drunken stupor, and his face darkened along with Zheng Linzhou's.
"Where's Lin Yang? Wasn't she just about to pour me some wine?" Tang Guoqing suddenly remembered this and looked around, but couldn't find Lin Yang anywhere.
"I'm not feeling well, I'm leaving." After this incident, Zheng Linzhou felt a distance between himself and Tang Guoqing, so he kept his words as brief as possible.
They've left?
Tang Guoqing rubbed his temples, feeling a little more awake. He then looked around the private room and realized that most of the people had already left.
