Chapter 296: Saving the Paranoid and Vengeful Business Leader 40
After Ji Xingyan walked over and sat down next to Zheng Ming, Zheng Ming immediately raised his hand and called the waiter, "Pour a glass of wine here, please."
However, Ji Xingyan extended his hand and politely declined, "No need to pour the wine. I drove here by myself today."
Zheng Ming was stunned when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect Ji Xingyan to actually drive himself now. After realizing what was happening, he immediately changed his tone and told the waiter, "Then please bring a pot of your special flower tea to our table."
"Yes, sir." Just as the waiter was about to turn around, Liang Runcheng suddenly said, "Please get me a teacup too. I want some tea too."
"Okay." The waiter nodded and turned around again.
"Runcheng, why don't you drink today?" Zheng Ming asked with some confusion.
Liang Runcheng smiled and said, "My agent had something to do today, so I drove here by myself. Fortunately, President Ji mentioned it just now, so I remembered it."
"Is that so?" Zheng Ming nodded. "Okay,"
After a while, the waiter brought a pot of fragrant flower tea, filled the cups of tea for Ji Xingyan and Liang Runcheng, and then respectfully stepped aside again.
Then more people came one after another, and the three tables in the Yunshui Hall were finally full.
When everyone was almost all present, Zheng Ming stood up, looked around the room, and then spoke loudly: "Thank you all for coming here today to attend the party, especially the several bosses who invested in our film. It is thanks to your appreciation that I have the opportunity to bring the story of "Red Mark of a Beautiful Face" to the big screen. I also thank our hard-working crew. Although we haven't finished filming yet, everyone has worked hard during this period!"
Zheng Ming then raised his glass and continued, "Let's raise our glasses together for our movie and wish it a great success!"
After saying that, Zheng Ming raised his head and drank the red wine in his hand.
"Director Zheng said it well!!!" Applause suddenly broke out in the hall, and everyone raised their glasses in response, and the atmosphere in the entire Yunshui Hall suddenly became lively.
"Alright, alright, enough with the formalities. Our main purpose today is to relax and get together. Don't be shy here, eat and drink well!"
After saying that, Zheng Ming turned around and told the waiter to serve the dishes, and then sat back in his chair.
This was Wen Yang's first time attending a dinner party organized by Zheng Ming. It was very different from some of the parties she had attended before, because most of the investors present today were old partners who had worked with Zheng Ming for many years, so everyone knew Zheng Ming's character very well, so no one urged anyone to drink, and it could be said that the atmosphere of the dinner party was very serious.
Moreover, Wen Yang originally thought that Zheng Ming was a very introverted person. After all, when filming on the set, Zheng Ming was serious most of the time, and he was either correcting details or correcting details.
So she was a little surprised that Zheng Ming could laugh so passionately and say so many words to liven up the atmosphere.
Wen Yang silently took a sip of the red wine in his hand and concluded Zheng Ming's passionate speech that everyone has many sides.
Just then, Wen Yang felt someone poking his shoulder.
She glanced sideways and found that the person who poked her was Liang Runcheng who was sitting next to her. His peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles at this moment.
Wen Yang widened her eyes in confusion, as if she didn't understand why Liang Runcheng poked her.
Then, Liang Runcheng suddenly approached Wen Yang and whispered in his ear, "I just saw Director Zheng holding a small piece of paper in his hand. I guess it's the manuscript of his speech."
After hearing what Liang Runcheng said, Wen Yang subconsciously looked in the direction of Zheng Ming and found that, as expected, Zheng Ming threw a crumpled paper ball into his pocket.
Seeing this scene, Wen Yang immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at Liang Runcheng again. The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
Ji Xingyan, who was sitting not far away, took in the entire scene.
He saw that Wen Yang had just gotten very close to Liang Runcheng, and the two seemed to have said something, and then a smile appeared on Wen Yang's pretty, fair face.
Even though the smile was very faint, it still floated into his heart.
Soon, the waiters brought the dishes.
The last time Wen Yang came to Longyan, he had no appetite at all, so he had no impression of the dishes there.
It was not until this time that Wen Yang had the time to carefully examine the dishes at Longyan. She discovered that it was not without reason that this place was chosen by bigwigs from various fields as a place for dinner and conversation, because it was not only highly private, but the dishes were also very well prepared.
After Zheng Ming and several investors started eating, everyone at the table also picked up their chopsticks one after another.
Wen Yang was looking at the dishes on the table, hesitating which one to pick, when suddenly, a shrimp appeared in her bowl.
Wen Yang turned his eyes slightly and met Liang Runcheng's sparkling peach blossom eyes again.
Liang Runcheng said cheerfully, "I used to come here often. This Longjing shrimp is low in calories and delicious. Come and try it."
Looking at the shrimps in her bowl, Wen Yang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart, because Liang Runcheng had not chatted with her online for a long time recently, and later on the filming set he also maintained a normal social distance, so Wen Yang thought that Liang Runcheng's novelty towards her had worn off.
But at this moment, Liang Runcheng suddenly picked up some food for her. Such an intimate behavior made Wen Yang confused about what Liang Runcheng meant.
However, Wen Yang quickly adjusted his expression, ready to fight back against any challenge.
After all, if she reacted too much, it would inevitably attract the attention of the people around her, so she smiled politely, whispered thank you, then picked up the chopsticks and carefully picked up the shrimp and put it into her mouth. The deliciousness of the shrimp and the fragrance of Longjing tea immediately bloomed on the tip of her tongue. Such deliciousness made Wen Yang's eyes light up involuntarily.
"This dish is really good." Wen Yang looked at Liang Runcheng with some surprise.
Hearing Wen Yang's praise, Liang Runcheng felt that his taste in food was recognized, so he picked up another small piece of braised pork for Wen Yang and explained softly, "There are usually a lot of artists coming here, so the dishes are very exquisite. Although braised pork is high in calories, even female artists who are trying to control their weight can eat a few pieces without worry. Come and try it! The braised pork at Longyan is really melt-in-your-mouth!"
Wen Yang looked at the piece of meat that Liang Runcheng brought over. It was bright red in color. When she gently picked it up with chopsticks, she could even feel the fat and lean pork belly trembling slightly between her chopsticks. It was obviously stewed very soft and glutinous. After putting it into her mouth, Wen Yang found that it was just as Liang Runcheng said. As soon as she put it into her mouth and took a sip, the braised pork melted on the tip of her tongue, and it was very crispy and soft.
"It really melts in your mouth." Wen Yang nodded in praise.
Hearing this, Liang Runcheng's smile became even brighter, and he picked up several dishes for Wen Yang.
Xue Shuran, who was standing by, also noticed Liang Runcheng's unusual behavior and couldn't help but cast a suspicious look at Liang Runcheng.
Didn't my brother say last time that he wouldn't arrange for Liang Runcheng to test Wen Yang again? So what's with Liang Runcheng's overly affectionate behavior now? Did my brother just verbally agree last time? Or is he actually still letting Liang Runcheng test Wen Yang? It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to ask Liang Runcheng about this later...
