Chapter 18: A Dinner for Media Professionals

The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looked dignified, about thirty years old, and looked out of place in the camp full of short-sleeved and T-shirts around him.

He was holding a business card in both hands at the moment, handing it to Xu Xian, while carefully looking at Xu Xian's face, his eyes were bright, and at the same time, he also showed a kind smile.

Just came back from a business trip, passing by the commercial plaza and found such an amazingly handsome young man, the most important thing is that the singing is really good, the song "Grandma Said" almost made him cry, which almost made him make up his mind to invite him at the first time.

Is there a shortage of singers in the hotel?

There is no shortage, and the strength of the singers in the hotel itself is extremely amazing, he is a top student of the Shanhai Conservatory of Music, and his piano skills are very strong, which is one of the important attractions of the West Chamber Hotel.

But the handsome young man in front of him is even more eye-catching.

In front of this huge square, there are countless people coming and going, and it is not the easiest thing for them to stop and stay for more than ten minutes.

At this time, a passer-by next to him heard the words of the man in the suit and was immediately surprised:

"Xixiang Hotel, I know that this hotel is very famous in Jing'an District, and it is known as a high-end hotel that can't be eaten with money, so you have to queue up!"

"I've also heard that it seems that the chefs of the restaurant are poached from foreign Michelin-starred restaurants. ”

"After a meal, it is less to spend a few thousand dollars. ”

"Weibo said that there are tens of thousands of bottles of wine there. ”

"It's too expensive, I can't afford to eat, say goodbye!"

The person next to him whispered, making the man in the suit smile.

Xu Xian paused for a moment and took the business card: "I'll think about it, thank you." ”

The man in the suit smiled: "That's natural, you can contact me at any time after you think about it, my name is Qiu Bin." ”

"My name is Xu Xian. ”

Xu Xian glanced down at the business card, which was very exquisitely made, with blue and white porcelain lines on the surface, in addition to the word "West Chamber", there was also Qiu Bin's name and position, which was actually a lobby manager.

Zhou Jialiang, editor-in-chief of "Netfox Weekly," suddenly said up: "Is it the Xixiang Hotel in Jing'an District? I have also heard that it is difficult to book a location there, and it is necessary to make an appointment in advance, so it is very famous on the Internet......

Qiu Bin smiled and said: "That's true, the West Chamber Hotel pursues quality, not quantity, and its quality is well-known in the mountains and seas, please rest assured Mr. Xu." ”

Xu Xian smiled, packed his luggage, greeted Zhao Yao, and temporarily left the square with Bao Dehai and the others.

There were also some reporters next to them, who were familiar with Bao Dehai and greeted them with smiles.

"Let's have a meal together!"

Bao Dehai proposed.

There were more than a dozen people in front of them, including Xu Xian and these reporters, and when they heard Bao Dehai's proposal, everyone smiled and nodded, obviously they were all familiar with each other.

Xu Xian pinched the nearly two thousand yuan of banknotes in his pocket, and felt worried.

Xu Changen whispered: "Team Leader Bao intends to remind you, you have to seize the opportunity, these reporters are the names of major newspapers and portals, they are very powerful, you have a good relationship with them, and the value will be great in the future." ”

When Xu Xian heard this, he immediately said, "I understand." ”

He's ready to sacrifice all of his earnings tonight.

Xu Changen looked at Xu Xian, suddenly took out a stack of banknotes from his handbag, grabbed Xu Xian's hand when others were not paying attention, and quickly stuffed the money into Xu Xian's hand.

Xu Xian was startled and almost threw away a stack of banknotes.

He looked down and was stunned for a moment, a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills, at least two thousand.

Xu Changen dodged the camera shooting in the live broadcast room, and whispered: "You take it first, and then take the initiative to check out later, it should be enough." ”

More than a dozen people, as long as they don't drink, two thousand yuan is enough for a meal.

Xu Xian was silent.

He has a bit of machismo, and spending women's money makes him feel a little frustrated in his self-esteem.

But if he didn't accept it, and when the street and Xu Changen prevaricated, the scene would be even more uncomfortable just thinking about it, so he could only silently put the money in his pocket, and didn't say thank you, just walked forward with his head bored, and decided in his heart to return the money to Xu Changen when no one was around.

After all, it's still poverty that is to blame......

He sighed.

Xu Changen was a little sensitive, and when he noticed Xu Xian's emotions, he saw Xu Xian with his head down, looking angry.

She was suddenly a little ridiculous, but in her heart she recognized Xu Xian's personality even more.

If Xu Xian accepted it with peace of mind, although she didn't care, she was always a little uncomfortable in her heart.

After all, the two have just met today, although she is very optimistic about Xu Xian and admires Xu Xian's talent and appearance, but this does not make her lose her judging criteria for making friends.

Judging from Xu Xian's current performance, Xu Changen feels very satisfied, and his choice of Xu Xian as a partner can be regarded as the right bet.

Bao Dehai took a group of media friends to find a restaurant nearby, and invited a group of friends who were called by him to feast, Xu Xian's performance was also remarkable, and he took the initiative to toast to a group of media celebrities, he was not vain, there were a total of fourteen people present, he drank fourteen glasses directly, and a group of reporters and editors-in-chief who watched it frowned.

What a fucking newborn calf!

However, after a round of wine, the atmosphere at the dinner table was obviously much more familiar, although everyone did not praise and mention Xu Xian more, but they would also take the initiative to talk to Xu Xian to understand some of Xu Xian's past and future goals.

When I heard that although Xu Xian was from Guangdong, he grew up in Shanhai since he was a child, and only had to leave Shanhai because of the collapse of the factory run by his parents two years ago and fell into a debt crisis, I couldn't help but sigh at the dinner table.

"That financial turmoil did put many upstreams in the mountains and seas into a quagmire......"

Zhou Jialiang sighed: "Let's just say that in the entertainment industry, some film projects that were originally established also suffered from a broken chain of funds, and they had to delay filming and look for investment everywhere. ”

Others also recounted what they saw and heard two years ago.

During this period, Bao Dehai picked up a glass of wine, stood up, and said with a smile: "The darkness has passed, and the light will eventually come!" I am here to toast everyone, thank you brothers for giving me Lao Bao to cheer up, Xu Xian is a good seedling, I hope you will mention more in the future!"

In the middle of the staggered time, Xu Xian went to the counter to pay the bill in the name of going to the toilet.

"It's a total of 3707 yuan, give you zero, you just give 3700. The cashier looked at Xu Xian and smiled sweetly.

From the time Xu Xian and his party entered the hotel hall, it became the focus of her eyes, and when she saw Xu Xian again, under close contact, her heart began to flutter and beat, this little handsome guy, even the frowning look is so tempting......

Xu Xian burped, and looking at the huge cash register, most of the alcohol suddenly disappeared.

His brow furrowed.

What kind of messy dishes are ordered, and there is such a thing as a perfect tonic bullwhip soup......

Who has such a heavy taste!

In addition to the dishes, more than half of the figures in the bill are shown in the drinks.

This made Xu Xian sigh, it seemed that he had to use the more than two thousand yuan that Xu Changen gave him.

After settling the account, Xu Xian felt a little blocked in his chest.

But when he returned to the dinner table, he changed his smile and continued to clink glasses with these media people.

Finally, after a period of dinner, Xu Xian helped the celebrities find substitute drivers, and after sending them away one after another, he finally pulled Zhao Yao and got into the jeep driven by Bao Dehai together.

Zhao Yao didn't drink, he drove in the direction of the small hotel, and handed over the handheld camera to Xu Changen to shoot, but she sat in the co-pilot, but she ignored the miserable howls of the audience in the live broadcast room, and just pointed the camera at the scenery in front of the car.

Bao Dehai sat drunkly in the back seat and patted Xu Xian's thigh next to him: "You paid the bill, right?" It's three thousand seven in total, I don't have so much cash in my hand, I'll let Chang En give it to you tomorrow." ”

"No, Brother Hai, it's just the money for a meal, this should have been paid by me. Xu Xian shook his head and said.

Bao Dehai looked at him, and suddenly laughed: "You kid, it's a little interesting, obviously distressed to death, but pretending to be calm, this acting skill is too good, if I didn't know how much money you have, I really have to believe it! Very good, I'm really more and more optimistic about you." ”
