Xia Qing also noticed Mr. Yu's abnormal demeanor, she couldn't help but be a little worried, she knew that there are usually unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, and it is difficult for a beautiful actress to get through the harassment of directors and producers, but she is just a writer, and she doesn't look like a country and a city, why would she be thought of by the producer?

Yang Nan also noticed that something was wrong with Mr. Yu, and he felt a little anxious, so he said to Xia Qing: "Sister Fang, you should read the contract carefully to see if there are any shortcomings." ”

Xia Qing nodded, buried his head in reading the contract carefully, and Mr. Yu probably heard what Yang Nan said, so he restrained a little. Ten minutes later, both of them finished reading the contract, Xia Qing felt that there was no big problem, and there were some small details that she thought about and felt that it didn't matter, and it had no impact on the whole. Mr. Yu asked, "Ms. Xia, you can ask any questions." ”

Xia Qing said: "There's no problem, so be it." ”

It could be seen that Xia Qing was a little anxious to promote this matter, and Mr. Yu wanted to hang her appetite to contain her, so he had an idea, so he asked the male assistant, saying, "Xiao Zhong, what time is it?" ”

"Twelve points out of ten, in total."

"It's lunchtime, isn't it?" Mr. Yu said, turning to Xia Qing, "Ms. Xia, let's have a light lunch together at noon, and the contract will be signed at the dinner table, because there are some very practical issues I want to discuss with you." ”

Xia Qing thought that she couldn't be too anxious, she would lose the initiative if she was too anxious, as the saying goes: you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the initiative is in the hands of others, and it's useless to be anxious, so she smiled indifferently: "Okay, everything is subject to the general arrangement." ”

Mr. Yu smiled heartily, "Ms. Xia is also a cheerful person. How about a few drinks with you? ”

Xia Qing also expected him to come to this hand, so she said: "It's okay to drink, but please be merciful to Mr. Yu's subordinates." ”

"Okay, good, I know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, by the way, you finally came to Beijing, I want to invite you to eat the best roast duck in Beijing, have you heard of Quanjude?"

"I've heard that it's the best roast duck brand in Beijing."

"Yes, yes, the writer has a wide range of knowledge. It is said that when it comes to Beijing, 'if you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and it is a pity not to eat Quanjude roast duck', so you must taste it. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your kindness."

Mr. Yu liked Xia Qing more and more, even to the point of being fascinated. He secretly wondered if he would "take" her before she left Beijing. Mr. Yu said to the assistant Xiao Zhong: "You go to Quanjude first to book the most luxurious room, and we will arrive at twelve o'clock." ”

Mr. Yu called and asked his two partners to come over for dinner. He asked Xia Qing to ride with him in his BMW. It was the first time for Xia Qing to sit in such a luxurious car when he was so old, and he felt very comfortable. She couldn't help but sigh that money was such a good thing.

At twelve o'clock, Xia Qing, Mr. Yu, Yang Nan and female assistant Li Xue arrived at the Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant. Mr. Yu asked Xia Qing to sit first, and Xia Qing chose the innermost seat to sit down, Mr. Yu sat on the left side of Xia Qing, Yang Nan sat on the right side of Xia Qing, and Li Xue sat on the left side of Mr. Yu.

Half an hour later, Mr. Yu's two partners arrived. Mr. Yu introduced the two partners to Xia Qing.

Mr. Yu pointed to one of the men who was about 50 years old, slightly fat, and dark-skinned, and said, "This is Mr. Zhu." Then he pointed to a tall, thin, bookish man and said, "This is Advisor Liu." ”

Mr. Yu's two partners said in unison: "Welcome to Ms. Xia, a writer from afar." ”

Xia Qing smiled at him and said, "Hello! Thank you for your support! It's such an honor that my book has been appreciated by all of you. ”

Mr. Zhu said: "It should be supported!" ”

Mr. Yu said: "It should be said that your writing is good, and we will not let go of good works." ”

Consultant Liu looked at Xia Qing thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Ms. Xia is very similar to Xu Qing, have you found it?" ”

Mr. Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, I also found out, Ms. Xia, I wanted to say it just now, but I was really embarrassed to speak, for fear of offending you." ”

Xia Qing smiled lightly: "Really? It's the first time I've heard that I look like Xu Qing, and I'm a famous star. Don't make fun of me. ”

Mr. Yu hurriedly said: "Hey, this is a bad statement, like is like, there is no problem of making fun of it." We northerners are very cheerful in talking and doing things, and slowly you will feel it. ”

"I know that northerners are bold, and I have already learned this when I was in the Northeast."

"Oh? Have you ever been to the Northeast? Which province? ”

"Heilongjiang."

"Hehe, I'm from Mudanjiang." Mr. Zhu scratched his head and smiled innocently.

"Writer Xia, what are you doing in the Northeast as a southerner?" Consultant Liu kept staring at Xia Qing, feeling that she was a little mysterious, as if she contained too many unknown things.

"When I was a child, I was in the Northeast with my parents, and my parents used to be educated youths and joined the team in Daxinganling."

"Oh, it turned out to be a descendant of educated youth." Mr. Yu smiled, "It's really rare, my eldest brother is also a knowledgeable youth, but he went to Yunnan to cut the queue, and I have always had a good impression of the educated youth." ”

There are more and more topics, and the more they talk, the farther and farther. At this time, the waiter brought the recipe, and Mr. Yu said to the assistant Xiao Zhong: "You go and order, order more, everyone is hungry, let's drink happily today." ”

Xia Qing suddenly remembered the contract, and now it seems that Mr. Yu seems to be immersed in chatting, drinking and eating, and has no intention of signing a contract. She asked Mr. Yu: "Mr. Yu, can we finalize the contract today?" ”

Mr. Yu said with a smile: "Of course, but don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory result today." ”

Consultant Liu and Mr. Zhu looked at each other and smiled, as if they knew it tacitly. Yang Nan whispered to Xia Qing: "You may not know much about the rules of the game in the entertainment industry, almost 100% of the contracts are signed at the wine table, so don't worry, I will help you if necessary." ”

Yang Nan seemed to have given Xia Qing a reassurance.

At this moment, a handsome young man dressed in a Qing Dynasty costume walked in, followed by two waitresses, who brought an operating table with a large white porcelain plate about forty-five centimeters in diameter and two steaming, smooth roast ducks in wooden barrels.

The man in Qing Dynasty costume said to everyone: "Hello everyone, welcome to our Quanjude roast duck restaurant, I hope you eat and drink well here, and now I will show you to cut roast duck." ”

After speaking, the young man put on disposable gloves, picked up a shiny, sharp knife in his right hand, picked up a roast duck in his left hand and began to sharpen it quickly against the white porcelain plate, his movements were skillful and graceful, his expression was calm and calm, and he was immersed in it, as if everything was empty in his heart, and only the knife and duck in his hand had agility.
