Chapter 32: I Changed My Mind
Yan Yichen didn't raise his head, and his eyes always stopped at the magazine in his hand.
"Sayβ"
"I have some personal matters to deal with at night, and I hope that Mr. Yan, you can allow me to take leave."
Yan Yichen raised his head, his deep eyes staring at Meng Yi'er, who was a little at a loss, "Ask for leave?" β
It seems a bit unreasonable to ask for leave on the first day.
Meng Yi'er nodded hurriedly and added anxiously,
"All I need is tonight and I'll be back to work tomorrow."
"What do I need to take time off?"
Meng Yi'er was stunned for a moment, if she told the truth, he might not agree, and she needed to find an excuse that he couldn't refuse.
"Well, my friend is sick in the hospital and I need to see her."
It's fun!
This girl is lying!
Yan Yichen looked at her funny and didn't speak, he glanced at her thoughtfully for a long time, and then continued to look down at the magazine in his hand.
"Mr. Yan Yichen?"
Meng Yi'er tentatively spoke again, but Yan Yichen still didn't respond, she was a little desperate, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something more, but she didn't know how to speak.
"What time are you leaving?" Just as Meng Yi'er turned around and was about to give up, Yan Yichen suddenly spoke.
Meng Yi'er was stunned for a moment, and instantly smiled, "Seven o'clock in the evening-"
She said, Lingyun Hotel!
Yan Yichen suddenly remembered the call from Mo Bei in the morning.
He thought for a moment, quickly put down the magazine in his hand, and nodded, "Okay, then please Miss Meng finish all the things that need to be done before leaving." β
ββ
After Meng Yi'er left, Yan Yichen picked up his mobile phone and dialed Mo Bei's phone.
As soon as the phone was connected, he said lightly, "Mo Bei, is tonight's banquet at the Lingyun Hotel?" β
"Yes."
Tonight's banquet was held by Yunteng Agency, and most of the guests invited were the bosses and executives of entertainment companies and star directors in the entertainment industry.
It is said that the banquet was held for Hollywood ghost director Kirson, who wanted to take the opportunity to choose the actors for the new movie.
Yan Yichen received an invitation a few days ago, but he has never liked this kind of occasion very much, so he didn't plan to go.
In his opinion, acting skills represent everything, and this kind of behavior of being close to the director for a role is the most shameful.
Just this morning, Mo Bei called him to confirm whether he was going to attend the evening banquet, but he refused, but he didn't expect him to change his mind at this time.
Yan Yichen's tone of command, "Call the driver to pick me up at seven o'clock." β
Mo Bei on the other end of the phone paused for two seconds, as if he doubted what he heard, "Huh? Yi Chen, don't you want to go? β
"I've changed my mindβ" Yan Yichen's tone was impatient.
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
Yan Yichen's tone was cold, "You can do it yourself-", and hung up the phone after speaking.
Mo Bei stopped the busy tone on the phone and complained, "Which tendon is wrong?" β
This is the first time that Yan Yichen has taken the initiative to ask to participate in such a boring banquet, he has always been able to go and never go, even if he appears occasionally, he is forced to go every time.
ββ
At eight o'clock in the evening, when Meng Yier and Yu Mingxin arrived at the Lingyun Hotel, the banquet hall was already very lively.
Although Meng Yier is not the daughter of a wealthy family, she has not seen such a scene in the United States, but she is also calm and generous.
As soon as the two walked into the hall, Yu Mingxin shouted excitedly, "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, come here, there are so many delicious foods here-", as she spoke, she dragged Meng Yi'er to the food picking area.
Meng Yier was dragged by her to the pick-up area, and sure enough, she saw a variety of delicious desserts.
The two of them took the food, found a place on the left side of the hall, sat down, and chatted happily while eating.
Yu Mingxin looked around, gently bumped Meng Yi'er with her elbow, and whispered excitedly, "Xiao Yi, you see that there are a lot of celebrities here today, and many of them are very high." β
Meng Yi'er was taking a sip of food, she looked up and saw that most of the people in the hall were handsome men and beautiful women, all dressed gorgeously.
It's just that Meng Yier doesn't know her, she grew up in the United States since she was a child, and she rarely pays attention to the Chinese entertainment industry, she basically doesn't know a few Chinese stars, except for a few old artists and internationally renowned actors and directors who have heard of it.
