058 Cocktail Party
readx;? The taxi stopped in front of a villa. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The driver's uncle looked at the countless luxury cars, hesitated for a moment, and said to the two very young-looking Chinese people in the back seat: "Are you really here to attend the drinking party?"
"Isn't it like that?" asked Sunan rhetorically.
"No, it's just, wow, I've been a taxi driver for twenty years, but I've never met a guest like you...... Take a taxi to attend such a high-level drinking party!" Uncle Driver said in an exaggerated tone while taking the banknote handed over by Meng Qi.
"Haha, you've seen ...... now"
Meng Qi said, pulled the car door and walked out of the car, then walked to the other side, helped Su Nan open the car door, and helped her get out of the car.
It's not that Su Nan is reserved, and she has to wait until Meng Qi opens the door for her to get out of the car, but she is dressed like this, and it is indeed a little inconvenient to get out of the car.
The air in Los Angeles on a January night is a little cold, but today is not bad, the temperature has exceeded 10 degrees, but even so, Su Nan still prepared a slightly thicker black shoulder.
"Dear Meng, you're finally here......"
Bob Turner's voice rang in his ears, and then he saw the man with more potholes on his face striding over.
He and Meng Qi hugged gently, and then when they saw Su Nan beside Meng Qi, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised in their hearts.
Usually Su Nan is either wearing an ol suit or very ordinary clothes, and it is the first time to dress up like this, it is really like a different person.
"Miss Sue, you're really glorious tonight!" Bob Tean said to Sunan again.
"Thank you. ”
Su Nan thanked him politely.
Su Nan had really heard too much of this kind of commonplace praise, unless it came out of Meng Qi's mouth, otherwise she wouldn't have much reaction anyway.
Bob Turner led Meng Qi and Sunan through the courtyard to the lobby of the villa.
The reception had just begun, and there were already many people in the hall, gathering together in twos and threes with wine glasses, communicating with each other, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time in some corners.
"There are a lot of people today, I thought it was just an internal drinking party...... Su Nan took off the shoulder and handed it to a waiter passing by.
"Most of the guests tonight are the Wara Bros. and the NBO, as well as some of the media, and of course, in Beverly Hills, there are definitely Hollywood stars......"
After Bob Turner gave Meng Qi and Su Nan a general introduction to the basic situation of the reception, he apologized to the two of them, smiled apologetically, and said, "Later, our Huala Brothers and the vice president of the NBO have a speech, and I have to go and see if those bastards have done their preparations...... You can enjoy the quiet time now, I promise you, there will be a lot of people coming to you later......"
"It's okay, you can get busy first......" Meng Qi smiled generously at Bob Turner.
Watching Bob Turner walk away, Su Nan finally stayed alone with Meng Qi again, and her expression softened.
"Do you want to drink?" Su Nan said with a mischievous smile as he looked at Meng Qi.
"If you want to see me sleep directly in the hall later, I don't mind tasting a little......" Meng Qi knew that Su Nan was making fun of himself getting drunk on Christmas Eve again, so he also responded jokingly.
"I'm going to take a picture of that!"
Although having said that, Su Nan brought back a glass of juice to Meng Qi, and he held a cocktail.
Meng Qi and Su Nan each held their cups, standing face to face, chatting with each other, and basically no one came to disturb them.
In fact, many guests had already noticed the pair of Chinese brought in by Bob Turner, but no one knew their background, so no one rushed up to talk.
However, because Suna was so dazzling tonight, there were still two or three brave single men who tried to come up and talk.
But they were all blocked by Meng Qi's sentence "Hey, sir, didn't you see me standing here".
For Meng Qi's move, Su Nan was of course very happy in his heart.
Whether he was doing it for himself to avoid being disturbed or didn't like to be accosted, Su Nan didn't want to explore or speculate, as long as Meng Qi did this, she was very happy.
"Hey, Meng, I'm finally seeing you again!" another familiar voice.
Meng Qi followed the voice and looked over, then laughed: "Good evening, Will......"
Will Benjamin, the head of the NBO animation channel, strode forward and gave Meng Qi a solid hug.
"Is this your female companion?" Will Benjamin was also obviously shocked by Sunan's brilliance.
"That's right. She is also the CEO of our AC comics company, Su Nan ......"
Meng Qi nodded and replied.
Will Benjamin is different from Bob Turner, he has never seen Meng Qi since the press conference, and of course he didn't know about the existence of Su Nan, so Meng Qi made a simple introduction.
Will Benjamin opened his mouth as if to say something complimentary, but in the end it only turned into a "wow", and then he gently pulled a lady with chestnut curly hair next to him and said, "This is my wife, Mary, she's a big fan of The Flash!"
Although Will Benjamin is a fat man, his wife has a good figure, but the two stand together, but they are unusually harmonious, presumably the relationship between husband and wife should be very good.
Mary didn't understand why Will suddenly said her favorite "Flash", and she was a little disgusted that her husband had told her privacy, but out of etiquette and her own quality, she didn't blame Will, but smiled at Meng Qi and Su Nan: "Good evening......"
Meng Qi also smiled and said, "Thank you for liking my comics, madam......"
Mary instantly understood that the young Chinese man standing in front of her was the father of superheroes, Frank Miller.
She was stunned for a moment, and then said in a cheerful tone, "I...... I don't know what to say, but I'm so lucky to be Mr. Frank Miller!"
Mary was not so calm at the moment, and the tone of her voice did not match her age.
Will Benjamin shrugged his shoulders, which were almost all fat, and said, "Mary is a crazy anime lover......"
But her wife wouldn't buy his account, and a somewhat stern voice asked, "Will, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Will Benjamin didn't expect his wife to react like this, and in the end he would blame himself, and he used this questioning tone in front of outsiders, which made him feel a little hurt to his self-esteem, and he was embarrassed to laugh.
Meng Qi saw all this in his eyes and hurriedly said, "I think Mr. Benjamin wants to surprise you, ma'am...... You know, Mr. Will called me last week to ask for a signed version of "The Flash", and I blamed me for being too busy to send the book, and if I knew that Mrs. was going to have a drinking party, I would have brought the comics over......"
"Wow, really? Really, Will?"
"Of course it's true...... What you just heard was Mr. Miller's own words......"
"I love you so much, Will ......"
Will Benjamin cast a grateful look at Meng Qi, he knew that he had never asked Meng Qi for a signed version of "The Flash", Meng Qi did this, did this just to relieve his embarrassment and take care of his emotions.
However, Meng Qi also knew why these two people who didn't look like a good match would give people a sense of harmony when they stood together.
Because the husband loves anime and is an elite in the animation industry, and the wife is an avid fan of anime, how can this kind of husband and wife who have the same hobbies and common topics for a long time be discordant?
At this time, several bright lights lit up on the makeshift podium in the hall.
Bob Turner's voice echoed the sound throughout the hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, would you please come together? Today, Mr. Kevin McHale, Executive Vice President of Warla Bros., and Mr. Byron Scott, Vice President of NBO, are here for a cocktail party, and they have something to say to you...... About our animation ......"
