Chapter 31: Encounter at the Dinner Table
Before coming, Xia Qiyue had already booked a room at the Marriott Hotel, and the two of them didn't bring too many things, so they didn't have to pack anything, and they just lay down on the bed to rest when they arrived at the hotel.
Before coming, Xia Qiyue told Chang An that he would invite the person in charge of the crew to have a meal that night, and work hard in this industry, such entertainment is indispensable, and Chang An certainly has no reason to object.
The two discussed together and set a table in the 'Imperial Dynasty' in the city center, the time was seven o'clock in the evening, and before six o'clock Chang'an felt hungry, and raised his foot to kick the big summer and July. Legs: "Let's go eat spicy fragrant pot first, I feel like I haven't eaten for a long time, do you want to go?" ”
Xia Qiyue stretched lazily: "It's going to be seven o'clock soon, we have to go over in advance, is it still too late?" ”
"There's still more than an hour, so it's too late to eat." Chang An sat up and stroked his messy hair: "I'm really hungry, and I can't eat when I go to the dynasty, so I just keep toasting, eat a few mouthfuls of food at most, and I'm afraid of getting drunk without padding my stomach in advance." ”
"Okay." Xia Qiyue also sat up, yawned and said, "Then go eat spicy fragrant pot, I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”
The two of them cleaned up and went out to eat, there is a spicy fragrant pot snack bar downstairs in the hotel, when passing by, it smelled very fragrant and decided to eat here, after half past six o'clock, the two went back to the hotel to change into decent clothes, put on makeup and went directly to the dynasty.
After ordering a few signature dishes and waiting for a while, all the people to be invited arrived, including Xu Zhou, president of Skyworth Group, investors Zhou Dawei and Liu Xu, producer Ou Di, director Xu Kun, assistant director Wang He, a group of people came in together, and the private room suddenly became lively.
Chang An Xijing, seeing so many people, felt that her brain was buzzing, but she had to keep a smile and greet them one by one, and pour tea for them, she thought that the personnel were all there, but when she sat in the seat, Xu Zhou, who was sitting on the main seat, left the position on the left, and at first glance, there were still people who had not arrived, and it was estimated that he was also a more important investor, and Zhou Dawei, who was also an investor, had to sit below him.
I can't say why, Chang An suddenly felt a strong sense of unease, his hand hanging under the table trembled stiffly, and he wanted to ask Qiyue, are Xu Zhou and Ji Ran really rivals, but he has never been able to find a chance to ask.
After Xu Zhou sat down and ordered a few more dishes, he ordered the waiter to prepare the dishes, and the director Xu Kun was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that there were still people who hadn't arrived?" ”
"Don't wait for him." Xu Zhou took a sip of tea and smiled indifferently: "He doesn't know when he will arrive, let's eat first, we can't let the two beauties wait hungry, right?" ”
With his words, the atmosphere became lively again, and he was inviting to eat in private, although he knew what he was eating this meal for, but he didn't say it on the surface, but everyone had a lively meal together, and the topics were all outside the circle.
Soon the dishes were all served, Xia Qiyue, as the agent, took the lead in getting up and toasting, and after the toast, the topic naturally revolved around Xia Qiyue's body, and Chang An occasionally said a few words.
After eating and chatting for a while, Xia Qiyue reached out and poked Chang An under the table, signaling her to get up and toast, Chang An just stood up, and the door of the private room was opened before the wine glass was served.
When she saw the people coming in, she froze there.
The person who came was wearing a tailor-made black suit, with a slender and straight figure, a handsome face as if it had been carefully carved, and the facial features were just right, so that people couldn't find any shortcomings, especially the good-looking peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be breathtaking.
It was Mu Qinchuan, he really came here, Chang An clenched his fist hanging by his side, and it turned out that the figure that flashed when he left the airport was really him.
Why is he here?
Chang An stared at him straight, but Mu Qinchuan walked to the table as if he didn't know her, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not late, am I?" ”
"What do you say?" Xu Zhou got up with a smile: "We have all drunk a round, and you are embarrassed to ask if you are late?" Come, let me introduce you to you, this is Mu Qinchuan, the second young master of Xinghuang International. ”
As soon as they heard Xinghuang International, everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they all got up to say hello, all of them were very enthusiastic.
Chang An couldn't laugh, and was even a little panicked in her heart, she didn't think that Mu Qinchuan happened to invest in this drama, Xinghuang Group has its own creative team, well-known screenwriters, well-known directors, including the most famous producers, if they fancy any IP, they will buy it themselves, let others invest, and they will not give up the copyright and then invest in this set.
Then why did Mu Qinchuan appear here?
Chang An clenched the hand hanging by his side, and knew without asking that he was here to hinder her for Ji Ran, just because he didn't want her to get the role, this damn scumbag.
"An An, An An..."Seeing that she had been staring at the second young master of the Mu family, Xia Qiyue reached out and pulled down her sleeve: "What do you want." ”
Chang An came back to her senses at this time, and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and now the embarrassment was wide, and she smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry." ”
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, we all understand." Xu Zhou said and glanced at Mu Qinchuan beside him, and the smile on his face was extraordinarily ambiguous. Ambiguous: "After all, this guy is so good-looking, I can sometimes look at him stupidly, let alone you girls." ”
Big brother, don't you think what you said is easy to make people ambiguous? Chang An gave him a big roll of his eyes in his heart, and before he could think about how to transfer the words smoothly next, he saw Mu Qinchuan glance at Xu Zhou indifferently, still expressionless: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you." ”
"Haha, don't be so ruthless, there are beautiful women here, give face."
Do they know what they're talking about? Chang An was speechless, and sat back in his seat silently and didn't plan to talk, anyway, they didn't need her, and they chatted as if no one was around.
However, the wine that should be toasted is still indispensable, after the few people who wanted to slap the Mu family and the second young man toasted Mu Qinchuan one by one, Chang An also stood up and raised the wine glass, she first toasted Xu Zhou, then Mu Qinchuan, and then the investor, producer, director, and assistant director, and she was a little dizzy after a circle.
Seeing Mu Qinchuan talking to this group of people very naturally, Chang An really couldn't suppress the doubts in her heart, she urgently needed to determine the purpose of Mu Qinchuan's coming here, she didn't have any resources in her hands, she finally hoped for some hope, she didn't want to be dashed because of those boring men.
She had to ask clearly, thinking like this, Chang An stood up: "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
Xia Qiyue was a little uneasy, and asked in a low voice: "Can you be alone?" ”
Chang An stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder to signal her to rest assured, and smiled at the people at the table before walking out of the private room, and as soon as she got out of the private room, she sent a WeChat message to Mu Qinchuan.
"Please come to the bathroom, I have something to ask you."
Thinking of his willful behavior of pretending not to see the news if he didn't want to deal with you, Chang An added another article: "If you don't come out, I'll call you, I saved your phone number." ”
But even if she said this, until she walked to the bathroom and waited for a while, the other party still didn't react at all, Chang An exhaled deeply, suppressed the depression in his heart, took out his mobile phone and dialed Mu Qinchuan's number.
Not long after the ringtone rang, Mu Qinchuan's deep voice came into his ears along the phone: "Hey, hello." ”
Picked it up so quickly, it can be seen that the mobile phone is in front of him, it is impossible for him not to see WeChat, Chang An gritted his teeth, and his tone when he spoke was still polite and sweet: "I'm Chang An, can I come to the bathroom?" I have something to ask you. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the person on the other side say, "You eat first, and I'll go out for a while." ”
Chang An hung up the phone with satisfaction, stood at the door of the bathroom and waited for Mu Qinchuan to come, and after a while, the person appeared in her sight, I have to say that he is really handsome, especially those long legs, straight and straight, coupled with his perfect face, he is like a man who came out of a magazine and a weekly, handsome and wants to make people scream.
"What's the matter, tell me."
The man's voice was low and deep, very good, but the tone of his speech was always cold, as if he was disgusted with something, Chang An pursed his lips and asked directly to the point: "Why are you here?" I want to hear the truth. ”
"Why am I here?" Mu Qinchuan chewed this sentence softly, and raised his eyes to look at Chang An's eyes: "In what capacity are you questioning me?" ”
The implication was that she was not qualified to intervene in his affairs.
"You..." Chang An really didn't have any qualifications, he was in a hurry, and when he saw him stepping into the bathroom, he stopped in front of him in one step, and looked at him with a pair of clear eyes: "Are you here to make trouble?" ”
She said and looked around, and saw that there would be no one walking back and forth, so she continued: "Seeing that I was filming again, Ji Ran couldn't stop it, so he sent you to stop me?" Mu Qinchuan, you are also my brother-in-law, is it a bit too much to help your fox friend ruin my future like this? ”
Mu Qinchuan looked at her eyes that were too watery, and suddenly remembered the information she saw this morning, this girl had good resources, but in the past year, she was snatched away by others one after another, and recently it was even more excessive, almost blocked. Kill the state.
She thinks that all this was secretly ordered by Ji Ran to do it?
"I have nothing to do with Ji Ran when I came here." Mu Qinchuan said in a deep voice: "I just simply invested in this drama. ”
He said it for sure, and he didn't look like he was lying at all, Chang An still couldn't believe it: "Really? But didn't you Xinghuang never invest in film and television? ”
Once you have a fancy IP, you will grab it directly, how can you invest in it in a good way?
