Chapter 6: A Meal That Is Not Peaceful (1)
Jiang Lai also wanted to know how he recognized her.
The words slipped around his mouth a few times before he could say anything, but Li Zechen spoke first.
"Go inside, don't keep everyone waiting. ”
One sentence completely made Jiang Lai lose the courage to ask clearly.
"Good!"
promised on his lips, but Jiang Lai had no intention of going forward.
Li Zechen looked back at her: "What's wrong?"
What to say?
Actually, I don't want to go in with you?
I can't seem to say it.
Jiang Lai smiled and shook his head: "It's okay!"
Anyway, it's just this time, and I met it by chance, so I have a good conscience!
Li Zechen raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't ask any more.
Walking to the door of the box, I don't know who said what, which caused everyone to laugh.
Li Zechen opened the door of the box and successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Lai followed behind Xiaomi and heard the voice of director Jiang Yu: "Yo, I finally waited for you, come in!"
Then there was the sound of everyone greeting Li Zechen.
Jiang Lai secretly exhaled, a little nervous and uncomfortable.
As soon as Li Zechen and Xiaomi walked in, she who was hiding behind was naturally discovered.
The director smiled: "Xiao Jiang has also arrived, hurry in, I'll be waiting for you!"
Joy also beckoned: "Jiang Lai, come on, I have left a place for you!"
Jiang Lai smiled lightly, and walked towards Joey while greeting him.
After a few steps, she could see the seating distribution.
Aiming at the vacant seat next to Joey, on the other side is the female No. 2 Xiao Yuan.
Glancing at the dishes on the table, Jiang Lai looked stunned, and the people sitting there ...... It's Li Zechen.
As soon as she pulled out the chair, Xia Bai, who couldn't get along with her several times, said as if unintentionally: "Did the screenwriter come with Brother Chen again?" I remember that at the last script seminar, the screenwriter and Brother Chen also arrived one after the other. ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Lai obviously felt that the eyes of the people around her lingered on her and Li Zechen.
raised his eyes to Xia Bai's innocent face, but there was a sparkle of ill intentions in his eyes.
Is this looking for something again?
Jiang Lai's hand on the back of the chair clenched, and he was about to explain.
"I happened to meet at the door of the hotel, so I came in together. Li Zechen suddenly spoke.
Jiang Lai looked at Li Zechen, who was sitting directly opposite her, he looked at Xia Bai with a faint expression, no anger, no cold face, which made Xia Bai's face a little unbearable.
She struggled to keep the smile on her face: "I see, that's a coincidence." ”
Li Zechen didn't answer her again.
He seemed to notice the gaze from the other side, turned his head sideways, and only glanced at Jiang Lai, and then looked away.
Jiang Lai withdrew his gaze and sat down next to Joey.
Sun Bin, the coordinator who sat alone from Xia Baizhong, interjected: "This hotel is not far from the film and television city, isn't it normal to meet it? ”
After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Yu.
Although Jiang Yu didn't want to deal with Xia Bai, he still cooperated with Sun Bin and nodded: "That's right, I saw Director Liu when I came!"
The assistant director asked, "Which Director Liu?"
"Which Director Liu can it be, Liu Ming!"
As soon as Joy heard "Liu Ming", he also interjected: "Director Liu! I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Jiang Yu smiled: "Do you think of that "Mrs. Yunhu" again?"
Joey nodded: "Yes, speaking of which, "Mrs. Yunhu" made me meet a good girlfriend, and we worked together again in this play, what a coincidence!"
After speaking, she glanced at Xia Bai as if unintentionally, and successfully made her face that had finally calmed down begin to distort again.
Jiang Lai raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, hiding the smile that he couldn't contain.
Putting down his hand, he already looked as usual, and smiled decently.
The assistant director broke out another gossip: "I heard that Director Liu's recent drama was filmed in the desert, and when he came back, the entire crew was blackened, and I almost didn't recognize him!"
Everyone laughed.
The topic was turned on by several veterans of the entertainment industry to various embarrassing things about filming, everyone talked and laughed, and the tense atmosphere just now eased a lot.
Jiang Lai listened as she took a piece from the plate in front of her...... Boiled fish.
After only one bite, the spicy taste rushed to my throat like a fire, and I immediately coughed a few times with tears in my eyes.
Grabbed the orange juice at hand and poured it a few sips to ease the burning sensation.
The people at the table chatted happily, and they drank a little highly, and they didn't care, but Jiang Lai couldn't eat spicy.
Joey sat closer, and when she saw Jiang Lai's face coughing red, and then saw that all she could reach was spicy dishes, and her brows furrowed.
How could she remember that it wasn't just these dishes on the table!
He raised his eyes and squinted at a woman who was standing next to the director to toast, smiling flatteringly.
He looked at Jiang Lai again and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Lai shook his head: "It's just that I was choked by chili peppers, just drink some orange juice." ”
"Won't you turn the turntable? You can eat whatever food is in front of you?"
"I didn't think it was very spicy!" Jiang Lai smiled weakly.
Joey glared at her secretly.
After a while, Jiang Lai felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, probably because he had just drunk two large glasses of cold orange juice.
Said to Joey "go to the bathroom" and walked out of the box.
Passing by Xia Bai, who was standing behind the producer to toast, he glanced at her, but his footsteps did not stop.
The box was a little stuffy, but when I came out, I felt that my breathing was much easier.
This meal is destined not to be eaten peacefully, even if there are no dishes that you don't like, there will be people you don't like.
Coming out of the toilet, she walked to the sink outside, squeezed out the hand sanitizer, and rubbed it.
Suddenly hearing a sound of footsteps, looking up at the mirror, Jiang Lai was stunned.
Li Zechen was walking out of the men's toilet opposite.
As soon as the eyes of the two met in the mirror, the person who flashed first was Jiang Lai.
At the dinner table just now, he also drank a lot, his eyes were a little foggy, but the light under his eyes was amazingly bright.
What to say?
What a coincidence?
No, it's weird!
Jiang Lai rubbed his hands together and thought quickly in his mind. The person had already walked to the mirror, two taps away from her.
"Don't you flush?"
Huh? Jiang Lai raised his head when he heard this.
saw that Li Zechen's eyes were directed at ...... Her hand was suddenly embarrassed.
She reached under the faucet and rinsed off the foam, albeit more slowly.
She thought that Li Zechen should go back first.
Who knows......
"You wash your hands very carefully!"
Jiang Lai was stunned again, and then he realized what he said and explained: "Get used to it!"
Li Zechen nodded, "Let's go!"
"Oh, good!"
As soon as he turned into the hallway, the person in front of him suddenly stopped and turned around.
Jiang Lai subconsciously took a step back and almost hit the large vase standing in the corner.
Li Zechen didn't expect her to react so much, and reached out to pull her.
Jiang Lai looked at the vase behind him, and his heart palpitated.
When he turned around, he saw Li Zechen's hand on her arm, and was about to speak, but he had already let go of his hand.
Just wanted to say thanks, but heard Li Zechen's slightly cool voice sound: "You, you seem to be afraid of me?"
Jiang Lai was stunned, and before he could deny it, he heard Li Zechen ask again: "Is it because of the casting of "Mrs. Yunhu", are you afraid that I will embarrass you?"
Jiang Lai's breath stagnated.
I haven't escaped this "old grudge".
Facing those deep eyes, she swallowed her saliva unconsciously, and stammered when she spoke: "What...... How so?"
The warm yellow light in the corridor was not bright, but it was enough for Li Zechen to clearly see the dodge in her eyes, and a faint smile on her lips: "Really?"
Jiang Lai nodded stubbornly, and tried to return a sincere and polite smile: "Of course, it is not up to me to decide who to choose for the actor of "Mrs. Yunhu", I just said my thoughts, and the final decision is still in the hands of the director and producer." Besides, I don't think you're going to be that kind of person!"
The smile on Li Zechen's lips deepened, "Then what kind of person do you think I am?"
Jiang Lai felt that Li Zechen tonight was really a little strange, and he was too different from him usually.
Those beautiful brown eyes seemed to understand all her thoughts, and she could see that her scalp was numb and her face was hot.
"Are you ......," she asked, after a moment's hesitation, "Did you drink too much?"
That's why in the corridor where someone may enter and leave at any time, he pressed her step by step with this bewildering low voice and a smile.
Unexpectedly, the man did not rush to answer, but raised his hand to unbutton the top two buttons of the shirt, revealing the graceful collarbone.
Each action is like a slow-motion picture frame by frame, the person who does it looks lazy, and the person who watches silently reddens his ears and lowers his eyes.
I was shouting in my heart, what is this for?
Li Zechen loosened his neckline and felt that his breathing was easier, so he replied slowly: "I drank more," Seeing Jiang Lai raise his head, he only looked at him for a second, then looked away, and said, "But it's ......"
Looking at him again, he was already slowly getting closer to himself, his eyes widened suddenly, and he instinctively took a step back.
"Zechen!"
The sudden sound of a female voice successfully made Jiang Lai's steps back towards the big vase and turned to the side.
Before she looked back, the woman had already walked to her side.
Li Zechen said with a faint expression: "I'm back!"
"If you don't come back, something big might happen!"
The woman said and her eyes were still rolling on Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai raised his head and looked at the woman beside him, looking a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Hello, I'm Li Zechen's agent, Liao Qi!"
It turned out to be Liao Qi, no wonder she felt as if she had seen it somewhere!
"Hello! I'm Jiang Lai. Jiang Lai held Liao Qi's hand back.
Liao Qi raised her eyebrows, and her smile grew: "It turned out to be the screenwriter of "Jincheng", a talented girl!"
Jiang Lai waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I can only use the pen to write some words, where can I be worthy of the name of a talented woman!"
"Why isn't it a talented girl?
Several successive works have been adapted into film and television dramas, and "Mrs. Yunhu" is still a well-known work in the film and television industry.
"We Zechen also read your novel this time, and I like the character of Qin Wuyi very much, so I took the initiative to ask Jiang Dao Mao to recommend himself!"
Jiang Lai glanced at Li Zechen with some surprise when he heard this.
He actually took the initiative to find the director to take over the role of "Qin Wuyi"!
Receiving Jiang Lai's eyes, Li Zechen frowned slightly and looked back.
Who knew that Jiang Lai immediately shifted his gaze to Liao Qi and said, "That's my honor!"
Liao Qi, who noticed the slightest strangeness, hooked the corners of her lips.
"Zechen, there are some work things I need to talk to you about!"
Jiang Lai immediately picked up the conversation: "Then you guys talk slowly, I'll go in first!"
Liao Qi smiled and said okay, and by the way, she gave her a "way out".
Jiang Lai was grateful in his heart, looked at the two of them with a smile, and then "ran away"!
Li Zechen squinted his eyes when he looked at someone who was a little flustered and wanted to go fast but didn't dare to go fast.
When Jiang Lai turned into the box, Li Zechen also raised his feet to leave.
"Hey, I haven't said anything about work yet!"
Li Zechen turned around, "Do you have any work that I don't know?"
Liao Qi raised her eyebrows: "You have so much confidence in me?"
Li Zechen put one hand in his pocket, and his eyes returned to their former coldness: "If you can't do it, then what do I ask you to do?"
Liao Qi laughed angrily, but only Li Zechen could say such things to her.
"But you're right, who made you my future boss!"
The outside world only knows that Li Zechen set up his own studio, and Liao Qi was once the gold medal agent of Chenxin Entertainment, a well-known domestic entertainment company.
In fact, Li Zechen is the eldest son of the president of Chenxin Entertainment, and only a few people know about it.
Liao Qi was also dug by Li Zechen to Chenxin Entertainment, but he only became his agent three years ago.
"Is Li Zeyu, the general manager, dissatisfying you?"
Liao Qi glared at him: "You don't provoke the relationship between me and my boss!"
"So, get to know your boss!"
"Do you think the president will let you stay so free in the entertainment industry?"
Li Zechen glanced at her: "What I want to do doesn't need the consent of others!"
Liao Qi 'raised his hand and surrendered': "Okay, okay, don't talk about this." Why did you bully people just now?"
Li Zechen smiled lazily and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where did you see that I bullied her?"
"You didn't bully, you blocked people in the corridor, and you're not afraid of being photographed!"
Li Zechen raised his eyes and looked at the corridor, and his tone was light: "I just have some questions to ask her, besides, even if I am photographed, isn't there still you?"
Liao Qi heard that something was wrong, and asked tentatively, "Could you be ......?"
Li Zechen raised his eyes to look at her.
"Tempted?"
Li Zechen bent his lips and smiled: "I think you will be more successful as a screenwriter than an agent!"
Sidestep the question!
The more this is the case, the more Liao Qi feels that there is a problem.
Li Zechen's attitude towards women has always been that he is not familiar with politeness and politeness, and the familiarity around him can be regarded as gentle at best but never warm.
Blocking people in the corner is absolutely unprecedented.
"Let's go inside!"
Ignoring Liao Qi's obviously gossipy eyes, Li Zechen turned around and left.
Liao Qi was about to follow, but the person in front turned around and warned: "Don't hide and eavesdrop in the future!"
