Restaurant Box Wei Yang pushed open the door and apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, I'm late. I'll drink three glasses as punishment."
Yuan Hong complained: "What's the difference between drinking three glasses of wine and drinking water?"
"Then I won't drink?"
Hu Ge shook his head like a rattle: "No, you still have to drink. We have been waiting for you for more than half an hour. Tangtang, you have no tact at all. Hurry up and fill Boss Wei's glass."
Today's gathering was mainly because Tang Yan returned to Shanghai for work, so several people arranged to get together. Even Wei Yang, who was busy with social engagements, took time out to come over.
Tang Yan stood up and walked to Wei Yang, leaning over to pour the wine, her eyes seductive, her voice sweet and coquettish,
"Mr. Wei, you are rich now, but you must not forget your old friends."
Wei Yang picked up a cashew nut and threw it into his mouth. He was very dissatisfied with Tang Yan's behavior and patted his thigh.
"You have no sincerity at all. If you want to toast the boss, you can at least sit in my arms and drink from me, even if you don't want to do it mouth to mouth."
"It's so beautiful, I'll feed you."
Hu Ge and the others burst into laughter. Tang Yan couldn't pretend anymore and put down her glass angrily: "If you want to drink, pour it yourself."
After saying that, she looked at Liu Shishi next to her and complained: "Shishi, you better watch carefully. He speaks so skillfully. Maybe someone has fed him this way before."
Liu Shishi immediately looked over with a dangerous look in her eyes. Wei Yang slammed the table and said, "Don't stir up trouble. I never get close to beautiful women when I'm outside."
"Oh~"
Tang Yan and Hu Ge booed him together. Wei Yang was speechless: "This filthy world will never tolerate noble and pure personalities."
Now even Liu Shishi couldn't stand it anymore. She picked up a piece of boiled chicken and stuffed it into Wei Yang's mouth to stop him from making shameless remarks.
As a result, Liu Shishi was still a little worried, and said in a roundabout way: "How about I accompany you to the social event next time? They will be more restrained if there is a female companion."
"Do you really believe it?"
Wei Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My little company, what's there to worry about? Even if those crazy lovers out there like me, I still don't like them."
These words were not just perfunctory. Although Wei Yang was lustful and greedy for flowers, he was not indiscriminate. He would not accept those slutty girls even if they came to his door.
"If you're really worried, you can come with me to check it out later."
In order to prove his innocence and dispel Liu Shishi's doubts, Wei Yang took the initiative to suggest that he could take her to see it when there are some normal social events in the future.
As for some entertainment occasions, there is no need to cause trouble for yourself.
Finally, Liu Shishi was dealt with. Wei Yang secretly glared at Tang Yan and made a note of this little girl in his heart.
I'll find a chance to go to Tang's house before the New Year, and I'll make sure to treat Old Tang to a drink and become his sworn brother...
…
Wei Yang arrived late and had already called a few people to eat first. Now that he came, Liu Shishi called the waiter to let Wei Yang order food.
"I just ate there, I'm not very hungry."
Wei Yang stopped him and said, "Make me some hot porridge. I just need some to warm my stomach."
"Then let's have some seafood porridge, a stir-fry and some cold dishes."
After Liu Shishi ordered the dishes, she was afraid that the kitchen might not be well prepared, so she simply dragged Tang Yan to go and take a look.
After the two of them left, Hu Ge winked and said, "It's only been a short time, you acted quickly."
Wei Yang was a little reserved: "It's mainly because I'm so charming that I can't resist."
Hu Ge and Yuan Hong both raised their middle fingers, and then couldn't help but tease.
"Old Cai wanted to use the honey trap to lure you to our Tang people, but who knew that you would quietly go out on your own, which made Old Cai very upset."
Wei Yang laughed out loud: "This is what we call General Cai's brilliant plan to pacify the world, but he lost both his wife and his army."
But Hu Ge didn't laugh. Instead, he looked at him hesitantly.
"Old Wei, you're not trying to dig up Shi Shi, are you?"
Hu Ge actually had no idea about Wei Yang working alone, and he was even secretly relieved. After all, if Wei Yang really signed with Tangren, the one who would be most affected would be him, the top boss.
In his opinion, the current situation is a win-win situation, but the prerequisite is that Wei Yang does not poach Liu Shishi.
Hu Ge knew Cai Yinong very well. The latter had invested so many resources and expectations in Liu Shishi. If Wei Yang did this, he would be making a mortal enemy.
In theory, whether Liu Shishi leaves or not has nothing to do with Hu Ge, but they get along well. If possible, he doesn't want the two sides to fall out, so as to avoid being caught in the middle.
"Don't worry, Mr. Cai has treated me well. I won't repay kindness with enmity."
Wei Yang really had no intention of digging out Liu Shishi, firstly because it would be unethical towards the Tang people.
No matter what, Lao Cai from "Twinkle Twinkle Star" was still grateful to Wei Yang for his support. If he turned around and poached other people's girls, he would lose all his reputation, and it is not Wei Yang's character.
Just like what I said just now, although Wei Yang considers himself not a good person, he would never repay kindness with enmity or abandon a person after he has done his job.
Secondly, if Wei Yang really signed Liu Shishi to Blue Whale, it would be difficult for him to make arrangements because there was also a Xiao Zhao in Beijing.
So Wei Yang might interfere with some of Tangren's arrangements for Liu Shishi, but he would never poach her. It's good for Liu Shishi to be the number one sister of Tangren.
"That's good."
Hearing that Wei Yang didn't have such an idea, Hu Ge felt relieved, but he was afraid that Wei Yang would be suspicious, so he explained.
"I understand. Shishi and I have already discussed this. We will talk to President Cai later and give her some reassurance."
"That's all, don't worry, with us two brothers here, we guarantee that Shishi won't suffer any loss in Tang Ren."
"Then thank you, my two beloved senior brothers. Come, let's go one by one."
"Old Hu, look at this guy's face. He usually calls me Old Hu or Old Yuan, but when there's something wrong, he just calls me Senior Brother."
"What's that called, Teacher Hu, Teacher Yuan, come on, I'll toast you a glass."
"Oh, I don't deserve it. Mr. Wei, we two brothers should respect you."
“…”
When Liu Shishi and the other person came back, the three of them were competing to see whose cup was lower. Yuan Hong was almost squatting under the table, and Tang Yan looked confused.
"Did you drink fake wine?"

Wei Yang said with a smile: "You don't understand, this is the happiness of men."
…
After playing around for a while, a few people curiously asked about Wei Yang's new company. Hu Ge, Tang Yan and others were still surprised that Wei Yang was promoted to Boss Wei.
Among this group of people, except Hu Ge who is a popular star, the others are not even in their rising period. They are simply newcomers who have just come into their own.
Wei Yang is not even as good as Hu Ge, and is even younger than them, but he has already started his own company.
But although I was surprised, I couldn't say I was envious or jealous.
Companies come in all sizes, and the cheapest one can be started with just a few thousand dollars. Although Blue Whale cannot be considered a makeshift team, it is still dwarfed by Tangren and Orange Sky where Tang Yan is.
Even among the people present, except Liu Shishi who had confidence in Wei Yang, everyone more or less thought that Wei Yang was a little impulsive.
A film and television company is not something that just anyone can handle. Wei Yang is young and energetic, and if he rushes in rashly, he might end up falling flat on his face.
Wei Yang didn't want to say too much. He wasn't the type to brag. But if he told the truth, he was afraid that some people would think he was crying poor and wanted to borrow money. So he just briefly introduced the situation and then lightly let it go.
“The early stages of starting a business are always difficult, but fortunately we have set the direction, so we can take it slow.”
Several of them didn't know much about business, so no matter what they thought, they still wished Wei Yang a prosperous business.
It's a rare gathering, and Wei Yang couldn't be the only one talking, so everyone also talked about their recent situation.
Yuan Hong finally got a leading role in a drama, "Clothes of the World" produced by Tangren. The female lead is a Taiwanese actress, and Liu Shishi is the second female lead.
Wei Yang didn't have a deep impression of this drama, but he vaguely remembered that it seemed to be renamed "The Weaver Girl at the End of the World" and the heroine was turned into ashes in seconds by Liu Shishi in the drama.
However, the drama is still in the preparation stage and filming is expected to start in the second half of next year.
Before that, Yuan Hong was going to film "The Divine Doctor Da Dao Gong", while Liu Shishi took on a supporting role in "The Legend of White Snake" and also made a cameo appearance in Zhang Da Hu Zi's "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
"The woman in yellow?"
Wei Yang felt a little regretful: "Actually, Shi Shi is very suitable for playing Zhou Zhiruo."
In Zhang Da Huzi's version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", An Yixuan's Zhao Min is somewhat memorable, but Zhou Zhiruo is completely unmemorable.
However, this is an artist from an investment company, and Zhang Da Huzi can't do anything about it. Liu Shishi wants to play Zhou Zhiruo, unless Tangren makes another "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
Liu Shishi herself was very calm: "I have already played Mu Nianci. If I play other Jin Yong female characters, it will be easy to mix up the roles."
"I would like to act in a Jin Yong drama, I wonder if there is a chance."
Wei Yang grew up reading Jin Yong's novels. Although he later learned some of the details, his love for the novels is still there. If he could play a role played by Jin Yong, it would satisfy his feelings.
Hu Ge smiled and said, "I think Lao Wei is quite suitable for Yang Guo and Linghu Chong. If there is a chance, we can give it a try."
"Duan Yu is also okay."
Yuan Hong added, but Tang Yan had a different opinion: "Wei Yang should be more suitable for Wei Xiaobao."
Wei Yang did not comment, but deep down, he would rather play Yang Xiao, Duan Zhengchun, Zhen Zhibing, Ouyang Ke, Shi Zhongyu...
Compared with Yuan and Liu, Tang Yan is doing even worse. Most of the notices she received are small supporting roles, and only one drama, "Flash Marriage", is considered the main creator, but the subject matter and type of the drama is a bit hard to describe.
The most comfortable one among the few is Hu Ge. Next year he will join the crew of "The Myth" which is supervised by Jackie Chan himself.
You should know that this drama was invested by Phoenix Entertainment. Hu Ge was able to beat a group of Hong Kong young actors to get the male lead, which shows his current popularity.
Of course, this is also related to Shanghai Film Group, another investor in the "Myth" crew.
Born and raised in Shanghai, graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and with his company also located in Shanghai, Hu Ge has plenty of Shanghai circle buffs, which naturally gives him a competitive advantage in the projects that Shanghai Film Group is involved in.
After a few people chatted for a while, Tang Yan, the protagonist of today, almost became autistic. After Liu Shishi called Da Mimi, she became even more depressed.
Da Mimi has a lot of announcements on her hands now, and her film contracts are almost full for next year. Although the projects may not be of high quality, there are too many of them, and most of them are the female lead or the second female supporting role.
Tang Yan suddenly felt a strong sense of urgency.
If she continues like this, she will be left further and further behind her two best friends.
