C15 Happy Spring Festival
Looking at this text message, I could not help but laugh from the bottom of my heart. After three consecutive nights of hard work, I had finally gotten something in return.
Like I said, as long as Little Fei is happy, I'll be happy. For her, I can do anything.
And now, since the matter of Little Fei has settled, then I really must properly ponder over Chen Lan's probing of me today.
Generally speaking, the people who were the second-in-command in an institution were very capable.
Unlike those companies, institutions are not second in line with their background.
In other words, Chen Lan was on the same level as Ye Qin.
And because this kind of woman was usually rather tough, her needs in certain areas were very great. After all, women were women, and they always wanted to be doted on by men.
As far as I know, this Chen Lan who is the unit's second-in-command seems to have a slightly unclear relationship with the head of the bureau and the kingdom. However, I didn't find out what the relationship was, I only occasionally heard people talking about it.
Now, the problem I face is that the second in command seems to be eyeing me, and it seems to be trying to take me down.
To be honest, being a man really gives me a headache, because I was not born to be a flamer, and I only have a slight tilt of the head when I need it.
For example, if it wasn't for Xiao Fei, I wouldn't have provoked such a strong producer like Ye Qin.
However, things have gotten to this point. I have no other choice but to let nature take its course. Life is just a process of walking and watching.
"… …"
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.
I'm going to buy something delicious to properly celebrate for Little Fei. After all, she succeeded in her audition today, so it can be considered as a successful step in her film and television career.
However, before I could even step out of the office, the second in command, Chen Lan, arrived.
"Li Zheng, there will be another meal later. You must go." Chen Lan replied as she walked in the door. Her tone was a bit stiff, as if she didn't want me to reject her.
"Another meal?" I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, Chen Lan and I aren't the only two people who are supposed to have a meal here, right?
Chen Lan continued, "Just like last time, it was arranged by the director. That producer Ye Qin is also here, so I recommended you to go to the warm up."
What? Ye Qin was also here? So Chen Lan recommended me to go to the warm-up?
I instantly understood the meaning behind Chen Lan's words. She was obviously telling me that she already knew my relationship with Ye Qin was shallow.
So I was wondering, how did Chen Lan know?
Before I could react, Chen Lan said, "Let's go now. Come with me."
I had no choice but to go. Because if I don't go, not only will the second in command find trouble with me, but Ye Qin will also find an opportunity to question me.
After a while, I followed Chen Lan to a hotel.
It was not the same house as last time. The bureau chief never fixed a restaurant for his meals. Basically, he would change places every time.
When I entered the private room of the restaurant, I found that it was still those few people from before — the one who led the rich in the kingdom, the unit's second in command, Chen Tieshou, as well as the producer Ye Qin who already had a close relationship with me.
"Little Li, Little Chen, come here, sit down." Wang Fu raised his hand and beckoned for me and Chen Lan.
There were two seats beside the table. They were obviously specially prepared for me and Chen Lan.
The two seats were side by side, both in the middle between Ye Qin and the rich of the kingdom.
Initially, I wanted to walk over and sit next to Wealth, but Chen Lan was the first to sit beside him.
After that, I had no choice but to sit between Chen Lan and Ye Qin.
It seemed that the rumor that Chen Lan and the kingdom had a bit of a relationship was true. It was just making things difficult for me. I was forced to sit between Chen Lan and Ye Qin, the two women. No matter what, I would feel a little awkward.
"Little Li, look at how good your seat is. It's right between the two beauties, hahaha." The kingdom's wealthiest man laughed as he spoke.
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
After dinner had begun, just as I was thinking about how to get rid of Ye Qin after dinner, the head of the department, the rich man from the kingdom, suddenly said to Ye Qin, "That's right, Miss Ye, how are the contestants for your crew?"
Hearing this, Ye Qin intentionally or unintentionally glanced in my direction, then said with a smile, "There are already a few male and female protagonists. However, if Director Wang really wants Little Li to have a male protagonist, then he can still change out of the predetermined contestants."
Ye Qin's words were watertight. She had unknowingly dispelled the thought that the wealthy of the Kingdom might be involved in this, but at the same time, she didn't deny the wealthy of the Kingdom's face. She truly deserved to be called a producer with a rich experience in this area.
"Hahaha." "Haha!" The Kingdom's rich man laughed and then said, "It's rare for Miss Ye to think so highly of our Little Li. Just for this reason, Little Li, you have to show some gratitude."
Of course I understood. I immediately stood up with a cup of wine and said seriously, "Miss Ye, I am honored to still remember me. Let me toast you."
Ye Qin also smiled and picked up her cup, but she didn't say anything. She just stared at me with her eyes that were as soft as autumn water for two seconds and then drank the entire cup in one gulp.
"Good alcohol capacity, Miss Ye." Chen Tieshou, the second in command, shouted out at the side.
At this moment, from the corner of my eyes, I saw Chen Lan slightly frown.
Obviously, Chen Lan noticed something from the way Ye Qin looked at me.
However, I couldn't care so much anymore. I raised my head and drained the wine before sitting back down.
Afterwards, during the meal, I could clearly feel Chen Lan giving me weird looks from time to time. I didn't need to think to guess that Chen Lan must have been thinking about my relationship with Ye Qin.
As for me, I could only pretend as if nothing had happened, otherwise, it would make Chen Lan even more suspicious.
However, Ye Qin would occasionally stretch her foot out from under the table and touch me a few times. She would even take her stocking feet out of her high heels to rub my lower body a few times …
Even though that feeling was rather sour and was filled with a kind of indescribable excitement, I could only bear with it and pretend that nothing had happened. After all, if the other people at the dinner table were to discover something, I would really feel awkward.
However, just when the meal was about to end, Ye Qin extended her foot over and ruthlessly rubbed against my body.
My hand couldn't help but tremble as the water in the cup splashed onto Chen Lan's clothes.
"Sorry, sorry." I quickly reached for a piece of paper and handed it over. Since the water was on Chen Lan's V-neck, I couldn't just wipe it off with the paper.
Luckily, both Wang Zifu and Chen Tieshou went to the washroom and didn't come back. Otherwise, I really didn't know how to explain why the water in the cup suddenly spilled out.
And now, although I don't know how to explain it, I don't seem to need to explain it in front of Chen Lan.
When Chen Lan received the tissue with a slight frown, she lowered her head slightly and looked under the table.
At this moment, my relationship with Ye Qin is completely exposed under Chen Lan's nose. Even if Ye Qin has already put her feet back on her high heels, but a shrewd woman like Chen Lan, who has worked as a second-in-command for many years, can still guess a little.
"Miss Chen, come, let's toast." Ye Qin raised her cup with a smile as she said to Chen Lan. She seemed to realize the awkwardness of the situation and thus diverted Chen Lan's attention.
As expected, Chen Lan immediately picked up the cup in front of her and replied with a smile, "Miss Ye sure has a good alcohol tolerance. Truly amazing."
Chen Lan's words made me frown. Didn't she say that she was hinting at some obvious subterfuge towards Ye Qin?
"Not at all." Ye Qin, on the other hand, didn't even think and directly said, "Miss Chen's alcohol tolerance is also very good. Otherwise, how could she be valued so highly by Director Wang?"
I couldn't help but look at Ye Qin. Two women playing together.
But I'm curious, how did Ye Qin know about the matter between Chen Lan and the rich of the kingdom?
Of course, that wasn't the point.
The point is, after dinner, Ye Qin once again asked the rich man of the kingdom for me to send her home.
The wealthy man of the Kingdom naturally agreed. In fact, there was even a hint of admiration in his gaze when he looked at me.
I feel that the kingdom's rich are about to notice the unusual relationship between Ye Qin and me.
But what could I do? When people are in the martial arts world, they are forced to do so. This is something I chose myself, so no matter what, I still have to say, for Little Fei's sake.
Not long after, I took a taxi to her house.
"My little enemy, come and sit with me for a while." After getting off the car, Ye Qin whispered into my ear.
I originally refused, but before I could open my mouth to say anything, Ye Qin carelessly said, "Your sister seems to have met with some trouble in the crew, I just so happened to tell you."
Little Fei's in trouble with the film crew? What do you mean? At that moment, I couldn't help but feel anxious. Of course, I didn't show this anxiety on my face.
"Alright, I'll torture you again." I took out my wallet and took out a fifty and walked out to the cab of the taxi. "I'm not leaving, thank you," I said to the driver.
The driver glanced over at Ye Qin, smiled in understanding, and started looking for change. When he handed me the change, he even said, "Happy Spring Festival Gala!"
Happy Spring Festival Gala? Hehe, Ye Qin said that since Xiao Fei met with trouble in the crew, my heart is about to die from anxiety.
Perhaps, the driver should tell Ye Qin the happy words of the Spring Festival Gala. Sigh!
