Chapter Forty-Eight: The Birthday Banquet
"I heard that you went to the countryside to farm and sold cherries on live broadcast?"
"The business is doing well!"
The girl put away her mobile phone, poked her head out of the car window, and looked at Cheng Xiao playfully.
"It's okay, a small deal." Cheng Xiao's expression was pale.
Reach out and hand the invitation to the security guard for him to see.
She had already recognized the two men.
Fang Yuan!
The former opponent, now Huading is a popular little flower.
Ning Tao, her former agent,
"Oh! Small business......" Fang Yuan elongated.
The corners of his mouth went up, revealing a weird smile: "Then you came here to deliver goods this time?" ”
"Fang Yuan!"
Cheng Xiao didn't wait for an answer, Ning Tao reprimanded in a low voice, explaining: "Xiaoxiao and Mr. Ji are old friends. ”
"New Year's Friend?" Fang Yuan was stunned.
"Yes!"
Speaking of this, Ning Tao's expression became more and more complicated.
When Cheng Xiao filmed "The Ballad of the Great Wall", he had just entered the film academy, and his acting skills were still very immature.
In order to figure out the character's character, he found a way to match, and personally led Cheng Xiao to visit Mr. Ji, who is a master in the literary world.
The two also became friends because of this, and they became friends for the year.
"Xiaoxiao, you've been ...... lately"
What do you think?
Ning Tao opened his mouth.
Before the rest of the words could be spoken, a series of car horns sounded behind them, urging them to hurry up and stay out of the way.
Seeing this, the security guard hurriedly returned the invitation to Cheng Xiao: "The invitation is no problem, you can enter." ”
Cheng Xiao nodded and rolled up the window.
I drove the car all the way to the manor's parking lot and found a place to pull over.
As soon as the car was locked, Ji Lao's call came in.
"Xiaoxiao, when will it arrive?"
The voice on the phone is old, but full of energy, so it is known that the body should be quite tough.
Cheng Xiao smiled: "It's already here, in the parking lot." ”
"Then I'll tell Ah Yan to pick you up!"
"No!" Cheng Xiao declined.
"I'll be right over."
"Okay, wait for you, come quickly!"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, old man, I miss you little girl!"
After saying that, the phone hung up.
Cheng Xiao put away her mobile phone and walked out, and when she was about to turn around, a faint sound of conversation came.
"I disagree!"
"The most important thing is to polish your acting skills well, don't always think about taking shortcuts!"
"Acting is important?"
A sneer: "Is Cheng Xiao's acting skills good?" The company didn't say that if it blocked her, it would ban her. ”
"I have figured it out, the entertainment industry is capital in charge, instead of struggling, it is better to find a backer for yourself."
"Brother Tao, I don't need you to do anything, you just need to introduce me to Qiao Yu, whether you can handle it is my own business."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, you die of this heart!"
"Don't talk about Cheng Xiao, Cheng Xiao ...... her"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Ning Tao's slightly angry face stiffened, looking at the girl who came out of the corner.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm ......," Ning Tao wanted to explain.
"You go on."
Cheng Xiao glanced at it, strode past the two and walked away.
Five minutes later.
Cheng Xiao appeared in the banquet hall, stood still and watched left and right, and finally saw the fiery Mr. Ji chatting with people not far away.
As if there was some kind of magnetic field, when Cheng Xiao looked over, Mr. Ji just looked up and saw Cheng Xiao here.
His eyes lit up, and he said to the guests around him: "You guys talk first, and there is something over there." ”
"Ah Yan, take care of people!"
Old Man Ji gave an order to his eldest son, and walked towards Cheng Xiao busily.
Laughing loudly as he walked: "Little girl, you're finally here!" ”
"Since you left Beijing, no one has accompanied my old bones to drink tea and play chess!"
"A few days ago, I also told Ah Yan that if you little girl dare not show up, I will ask him to tie you up."
"Can't!" Cheng Xiao smiled.
"Old man, you have your eightieth birthday, even if I climb, I have to crawl."
"No, the gifts are all for you." Cheng Xiao handed over the cherry wine in his hand.
"I wish you good luck in the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."
"Yo! Is this wine? ”
Old Man Ji stretched out his hand to take it and looked at Cheng Xiao in surprise.
When he was young, he was a heavy drinker, and when he got older, he quit drinking and switched to drinking tea.
But he never thought that at this time, Cheng Xiao actually gave him a bottle of wine.
Old Man Ji sighed: "I haven't drunk for many years!" ”
"Since this wine was given by Xiaoxiao, then I have to taste whatever I say."
"Don't worry, old man, this wine is not strong, you can drink it, I use it myself......"
"It turns out that Xiaoxiao also sent Ji Lao wine!"
A slightly surprised voice interrupted Cheng Xiao's words.
Fang Yuan appeared with a smile, followed by Ning Tao, whose face was not very good.
"Xiaoxiao and I are worthy of being good sisters, and we even want to go together to give gifts."
Fang Yuan came to Cheng Xiao's side and went to pull Cheng Xiao affectionately.
Turning sideways slightly, Cheng Xiao avoided it.
Fang Yuan didn't feel embarrassed, and turned to Mr. Ji and said, "Hello Ji Lao, I am Fang Yuan, an artist from Huading, and I am also Xiaoxiao's friend. ”
"I am very happy to participate in your 80th birthday banquet, and I wish you happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity than the old pine of Nanshan."
"This is a small gift, please accept it with a smile."
Fang Yuan smiled sweetly, when she was pleasing people, she didn't have the arrogance just now, she was full of coquettishness.
Cheng Xiao saw it in her eyes, and secretly thought in her heart: It is worthy of being a little flower held by Hua Ding, and her ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense is better than anyone else.
Really!
Reach out and don't hit the smiley man!
Mr. Ji didn't want to save the face of the little girl, and said in a deep voice: "You have a heart!" ”
Having said that, the smile on Mr. Ji's face faded a little, and it was far less true than when he saw Cheng Xiao.
He has lived for most of his life, and he has never seen any cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
Fang Yuan's flattering little caution was not enough in his eyes.
But Fang Yuan doesn't care, as long as she doesn't feel embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed.
As always, he smiled and said: "Ji Lao, if you like it, I'm afraid that it won't be what you want!" ”
"I wanted to pull Xiaoxiao as a reference, but Xiaoxiao was so busy that I couldn't see it all the time."
Fang Yuan said, still looking at Cheng Xiao's disgusted Nunu mouth, looking like a good sister.
Belch!
Cheng Xiao was speechless: "Miss Fang, I'm not that familiar with you!" ”
At best, they are former colleagues who have had a competitive relationship.
When they were in Huading, they competed for resources, and fans tore each other apart not once or twice.
Friend?
It's weird!
"Xiaoxiao is not familiar with me, but I have been friends with Xiaoxiao for a long time, and I have long regarded Xiaoxiao as a confidant."
"Especially Xiaoxiao's "Ballad of the Great Wall", too! Pass through! Canon! Finish! ”
"It's a brilliant performance of the heroine's psychological activities, and it has always been a role model for me to learn."
Fang Yuan complimented him twice, and as soon as his voice changed, he raised his voice and said, "Xiaoxiao gave Ji Lao a cherry bar?" ”
"I remember that Xiaoxiao is selling cherries now, isn't this wine made by herself?"
It turned out that Old Man Ji had already removed the outer packaging of the wine bottle while everyone was talking just now.
The pale pink cherry wine was revealed.
