Chapter 43: The Birthday Banquet

Ji Xincheng wanted to say something, but An Zimo obviously didn't want to continue the topic.

"Let's go inside, it's almost time."

An Zimo led the way for Ji Xincheng and introduced her along the way:

"This is Shaoze's grandfather's property, on this mountain, most of the private houses you see, more than ninety percent of them are from the hands of the old man, this one, on behalf of the country won the grand prize." He pointed to a compound Chinese and Western building that they were now preparing to enter: "Speaking of which, their home is more like this field than ours. ”

He was referring to the construction industry, and Ji Xincheng had never heard Gu Shaoze mention it, but he was a little surprised.

"His grandfather was an architect?"

"Didn't expect that, did you? The old man alone will set us up as a whole elite team! It's a pity that it's been gone for a long time! ”

An Zimo sighed, and entered the front hall with Ji Xincheng, surrounded by busy figures, bypassing the long silhouette of the orderly arrangement of the water pavilion flower barrier, and in an empty and elegant space in the depths, Gu Shaoze was seen wandering among the guests from a distance, overwhelmed.

"But the interior decoration is all designed in recent years, guess who?"

An Zimo waved his hand and squinted at Ji Xincheng, expecting her answer.

Being looked at by An Zimo like this, Ji Xincheng didn't have to think about it to know his intentions, and answered him:

"Gu Shaoze?"

She knew this man in this family, and if it weren't for him, An Zimo probably wouldn't let her play this kind of guessing game.

An Zimo said with some disappointment: "Why don't you seem surprised at all?" ”

Ji Xincheng smiled deeply, but in the end, he still raised his eyes and took a serious look at the surroundings.

I was not surprised that such an elegant Chinese-style design was actually made by a straight man like Gu Shaoze, and it once again refreshed Ji Xincheng's perception of this man, I don't know how many hidden skills he still doesn't know......

"Zimo, let me catch you, come on!"

"Uncle Li, long time no see!"

Someone came over to say hello to An Zimo, this time it was a true acquaintance, An Zimo took care of Ji Xincheng, Ji Xincheng understood, and waved his hand to him: "It's okay with me, you can go." ”

"So you wait? Shaoze will come to you after this moment. ”

Ji Xinjian nodded, glanced at the position where Gu Shaoze appeared, and sure enough, he was no longer visible.

His eyes were attracted by a naturally growing flower screen not far away, and Ji Xincheng unconsciously raised his feet and stepped forward.

Before she could take a closer look, someone called out to her.

"Miss Ji?"

Ji Xincheng turned around and was surprised to see a director he had worked with before: Ouyang Jing.

"Director Ouyang!"

Although Ji Xincheng only played a small supporting role at that time, Director Ouyang also spoke highly of her, and generously recommended her to famous director friends in the circle.

With the gratitude of the grace of the encounter, Ji Xincheng always remembered this person, and he felt cordial even after a long time.

"I saw the promotional poster of "The Old Garden", there are too many films of the same level in the casting of this film, your cooperation with Qiu Shang is very emotional, Wu Yue, this guy is betting on the right treasure this time!"

Ji Xincheng smiled and thanked him, and also asked him about his recent situation.

"Isn't Director Ouyang making a film recently? It's all going well, right? ”

"Well, it's going well, it's almost over."

The two chatted about the current situation, knowing that Ji Xincheng had signed a new brokerage company, Ouyang Jing only said that the new company wanted to borrow Ji Xincheng to do it, and what Ji Xincheng talked about next was bound to be films that were not the leading actors.

He groaned slightly, and said with regret:

"I have a project at hand, there is a character that I think is quite suitable for you, but it is not the protagonist, and the character is not the type that the public will easily like, otherwise I really want to invite you to try."

When Ji Xincheng heard him say this, his eyes lit up.

"Then please ask the director to give me this opportunity, and I will communicate with them on the company's side."

"If you're not busy, I'll send you a book first?"

"Okay! Then I would like to thank the director in advance! ”

"With your current results, if you are really relegated to a supporting role, it will be our turn to thank you!"

The two had a pleasant conversation, attracting another well-known producer in the circle to join.

The other party has never cooperated with Ji Xincheng before, but she also sincerely praised her starring role in "The Old Garden" this time, and the response to the really excellent works and the market is the same, he said.

Of course, Ji Xincheng can only accept these praises for the time being, with gratitude.

Although she may be much more well-known than in the past because of this film, no one can say for sure about the future development, and she still cherishes every effort......

"It turns out that anyone can do it! In this way, those rumors on the Internet may not be fake, what a director or an investor! It doesn't matter how old you are, don't let it go? ”

Just as the three of them were talking about another topic, not paying attention to the left and right, the young girl's voice came softly.

Gu Tingting was sitting in a swivel chair very close to the three of them, and she had been facing away from the crowd before, but when she turned around, she didn't know how long she had been listening there.

At the same time, she also stood up and walked to Ji Xincheng's side.

The mocking gaze circled around Ji Xincheng's body, and then went to the two men in front of Ji Xincheng, the same exaggerated and unpolite.

So the meaning of the words in these words is particularly obvious.

"Miss Gu, this is Director Ouyang and Producer Chen, and they are your uncle's guests tonight."

Ji Xincheng kept smiling, his tone was soft, and he didn't understand what the other party meant.

Gu Tingting's punch hit the cotton, and naturally she refused to let it go:

"So you still know that this is my uncle's guest? I thought you had forgotten! ”

"This is Mr. Gu's niece?"

Listening to their conversation, Director Ouyang Jing asked Ji Xincheng.

Ji Xincheng nodded, Gu Tingting also turned around when she heard the inquiry, looked at Ouyang Jing, and asked with a smile:

"This gentleman who doesn't know whether to call uncle or uncle! I'm doing a little survey, huh? Isn't it that men of your age especially like this kind of woman, and they have to be good-looking and have some means! Otherwise, it's meaningless, isn't it? Simply good-looking, for you? ”

Gu Tingting's eyes with heavy makeup swept over Producer Chen, and the good faces of the two men immediately couldn't hang up.

In the end, they are all uneven for Ji Xincheng, but Gu Tingting is clearly a child again, are they so rash to speak?

His eyes fell on Ji Xincheng's face one after another.

"Gu Tingting, please respect the guests."

The smile on the corner of Ji Xincheng's lips disappeared, but his tone was still as peaceful as possible.

"How can I disrespect them? Ji Xincheng, are you seated in the right seat? What have I said to make your heart like this? ”

Gu Tingting is not as tall as Ji Xincheng, but her arrogance is much higher than her, and her aggressive eyebrows and eyes are close at hand.

Of course, Ji Xincheng remembered Gu Shaoze's words that he wanted to let his niece, but now she felt that she had encountered a situation that should not be carried out like that.

took a deep look at Gu Tingting, and endured it without having a seizure.

Sideways and the two men apologized: "Director Ouyang, producer Chen, I'll miss the company first." ”

How could the two men not see the little girl's deliberate provocation, they both looked at Ji Xincheng sympathetically, and then the two turned around at the same time and walked away.

When the two of them walked away, the smile on the corner of Ji Xincheng's mouth had disappeared.

Gu Tingting seemed to be waiting for her, and snorted with a sneer, "This is a turn!" How? Want to show your true face? Want to teach me a lesson? ”

She sometimes looks like a gentleman who can help me, with a stubborn little face.

"Gu ......"

"Tingting!"

The insertion of a calm female voice interrupted what Ji Xincheng was about to say.

Ji Xincheng followed the prestige and saw a slender young woman with an elegant demeanor walking towards them from the side.

What makes people associate her with the word elegance at a glance is the woman's well-cut slim cheongsam.

Simple black, she wears it but is not monotonous at all, and in contrast to her fair and warm complexion, there is an insurmountable and amazing beauty.

The small pear-shaped white jade earrings and transparent jade bracelets add to her the grace that only oriental women have.

A woman who seems to have come out of an ancient painting...... A smile and a smile are lingering and tactful......

Even though Ji Xincheng has been in the entertainment industry with beautiful women for many years, he can't take his eyes off it for a while.

The woman approached, first smiled politely at Ji Xincheng, and then turned to Gu Tingting:

"Apologize to this lady!"

The woman's voice was not loud, even soft, but there was an invisible sternness in it.

Gu Tingting looked at the woman with disbelief in her eyes, but her previous arrogance had disappeared without a trace, and she turned like a real child, raised her eyebrows at the woman and said:

"You don't even ask what happened, and let me apologize to her?"

"I don't have to ask to know that you're wrong."

The woman's words made Gu Tingting so angry that she no longer tried to explain, and turned her face away.

Ji Xincheng could hear that the two of them were very close, even closer than Gu Shaoze and Gu Tingting.

Thinking that it might be someone from the Gu family, Ji Xincheng softened his expression and said in a loud voice: "Forget it, she didn't actually do anything." ”

"Do you know that some people pretend to be disgusting and want to vomit?!"

Gu Tingting didn't appreciate it, but instead made a disgusting expression with Ji Xincheng's words.

When the woman saw this, her face immediately turned gloomy, but she was still invincible to her gentle temper, which made her anger not look threatening at all, but her words did pick Gu Tingting's weakness:

"Come with me to your grandmother and repeat what you just said."

"Don't!"

Gu Tingting really panicked, glared at Ji Xincheng, turned around and ran.

The woman's arms were thin and thin, and she didn't have much strength, but she was thrown by Gu Tingting and almost threw her out.

Ji Xincheng quickly held her up.

This help, the other party looked into Ji Xincheng's eyes and said, "Thank you." ”

And Gu Tingting, who ran away, quickly stopped not far away, she found a rescuer, threw herself into Gu Shaoze's arms, pointed in the direction of Ji Xincheng and the woman, asked for help, or coquettishly.

Gu Shaoze ignored her and pushed her away, I don't know what he said, Gu Tingting followed him again and walked towards them.

"Ziqian."

Gu Shaoze's eyes were still on Ji Xincheng, and when he got closer, he said hello to the woman first.

It turned out that she was Gu Shaoze's ex-girlfriend Xu Ziqian......

Ji Xincheng felt that she was almost unable to stand for a moment, she ate little at noon, and was so busy that she had no time for afternoon tea in the afternoon, and naturally she didn't eat dinner, so she changed her makeup and rushed straight to this end.

It may be that there is some low blood sugar, Ji Xincheng held his forehead, and supported the wine table behind him with one hand unobtrusively.

Looking at Gu Shaoze's face again, he couldn't see any emotion at all.

But emotions are more about what people want you to see.

For example, Ji Xincheng at the moment, his heart is not full of taste, but when he heard Gu Shaoze and his ex-girlfriend introduce themselves, he still had to pretend to be polite and thoughtful and smile, and said, "Hello, Miss Xu." ”

"I've often heard Zimo mention you, and we finally met today, Miss Ji is even better looking than on TV."

Ji Xincheng struggled to maintain his smile, and Gu Tingting's sneer sounded in his ears.

Gu Tingting rolled her eyes, was caught by Gu Shaoze, and warned her sharply: "Gu Tingting!" ”

"I was talking about it earlier, let her apologize to Miss Ji, but she refused, and ran over to sue you again, right? Tingting, when can you change your temper, forget it in front of your family, you will always suffer in the future when you go out. ”

Xu Ziqian spoke seriously, and there was criticism in her words, which is the tone and demeanor that can only be found between close relatives.

Ji Xincheng tightened his hand holding the wine table behind him, and leaned back again.

After listening to Xu Ziqian's words, Gu Shaoze immediately dragged Gu Tingting's small body and pushed Ji Xincheng forward:

"Do you know who she is?"

Gu Shaoze pointed at Ji Xincheng and asked Gu Tingting.

He was very serious, so that Ji Xincheng couldn't help but stand up straight.
