On the way to the banquet venue, Chen Yuan talked to Wen Xi from time to time about the current situation in the industry, the latest trends of the big guys who came to the banquet tonight, analyzed the acting route that she was suitable for, etc. He was always looking for topics to chat with. , there is no silence.
Entering the banquet hall, many celebrities dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding goblets in their hands, drank and drank among each other.
Wen Xi followed Chen Yuan's footsteps and walked in. Under his introduction, he met some people one by one. Inadvertently, he caught a familiar figure not far away.
Tenderness.
She also looked at Wen Xi, nodded quietly to her, then pretended not to recognize her and looked away.
Wen Xi calmly withdrew his gaze and shook hands with the director in front of him.
"Director Zhang, she is my classmate, Wen Xi."
A familiar female voice came from beside him. Wen Xi turned around and saw Luo Yu's smiling face.
Chen Yuan and Wen Xi were equally surprised. They didn't know how Luo Yu entered the banquet hall.
Looking at her dressed up, she didn't look like she had sneaked in.
Before Wen Xi could think too much, the man next to Luo Yu spoke up, "Producer Chen, I didn't expect you to have such a beauty by your side. It would be unkind not to bring her out earlier."
Chen Yuan had a professional smile on his face, "Director Zhang is busy, so I didn't dare to bother him before. This is a new actor, Wen Xi. I have always admired Director Zhang's talent and dreamed of appearing in your movie."
Wen Xi knew why Chen Yuan was so eager to flatter him. Before he came, he had already said that Director Zhang was currently preparing to shoot an action movie. The opportunity was rare and everyone wanted to show their face in it, so let her fight for it.
Wen Xi briefly greeted Director Zhang and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
It was this moment that made her extremely uncomfortable.
Director Zhang appears to be honest and kind, but he has a lot of little tricks on his hands.
Three seconds later, he did not let go of Wen Xi's hand and was still stroking her palm.
The smell of a middle-aged man is strong, and the perfume he sprays is relatively strong. His palms are sweaty and sticky, and they stick to Wen Xi's palms.
"Ms. Wen is young and beautiful, with great potential. As a director, I like actors like this the most. We can have a good chat if we have time."
Wen Xi took out his palm, unable to conceal his disgust in his heart, smiled slightly, and excused himself to go to the bathroom.
The water washed Wen Xi's hands over and over again, and he looked at himself in the mirror, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Although she likes acting, she only likes the feeling of acting out a story and playing a role, rather than the "hidden rules" that she has to follow outside of acting.
Director Zhang's eyes made her smell the aura of being subjugated, and she subconsciously resisted.
No actor in this circle likes to be lurked, but when there is gain, there must be sacrifice. They understand this truth, so they are willing to give up.
She knows her original intention very well and will never take shortcuts through this method.
Suddenly I received a message from Chen Yuan on my phone—
[are you OK? If you feel uncomfortable, I'll take you back first.]
This discomfort does not indicate whether it is physical discomfort or psychological discomfort.
So Wen Xi felt that Chen Yuan saw her reluctance.
It's just that she didn't expect Chen Yuan to be so tolerant. She thought he would be angry with her for being "self-righteous" and would not even make this sacrifice.
Wen Xi didn't want to go back either. She wasn't that timid yet and ran away in fright after being given a handshake.
After sorting out his emotions, he returned to the banquet hall.
Chen Yuan walked over with concern, "Are you really okay?"
"Producer Chen, don't worry, I'm fine."
"That's good. The people at our table all like to drink. Can you do that?"
No matter what the occasion, men like to drink with friends. Wen Xi understood this and nodded, "I'm fine."
However, she overestimated her drinking capacity. After drinking the sixth glass, she was already exhausted and her head felt faint.
Moreover, the alcohol content was stronger than the night she and Jiang Ke went out, and the dizziness was more severe.
At this moment, someone filled her glass, and Director Zhang extended his glass to her to clink it with her.
"Sorry, Director Zhang, I'm too drunk."
As soon as these words came out, Director Zhang's face suddenly turned bad.
Chen Yuan quickly spoke up to smooth things over and wanted to help Wen Xi drink the glass.
Wen Xi was worried that she would cause trouble for Chen Yuan. After all, he was the one who brought her out, so it would be bad for him to lose face.
Thinking of this, she resisted the discomfort, picked up the wine glass, touched it with Director Zhang, and barely drank the glass.
At this moment, Director Zhang wanted to continue drinking with her.
Wen Xi knew that he could not drink any more, so he quietly knocked over Chen Yuan's wine and wet his skirt.
"Hey, my skirt is wet. I'm sorry, Director Zhang. Can you let Wen Xi go change?"
"Go quickly, go quickly, the little girl is very uncomfortable like this."
Luo Yu stood up and said, "I'll take her there."
Wen Xi stumbled to his feet and felt supported by Luo Yu to move forward.
The two walked to the corridor outside the hotel banquet hall and arrived at a guest room.
Luo Yu chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be lucky enough to be chosen by Director Zhang. Seeing how much he appreciates you tonight, I think you must be a part of the new movie."
Wen Xi endured his headache and laughed, "What are you thinking about?"
"Do I still need to make up my mind? Let me tell you the truth, I have signed a contract with Jiatai, and I will have a lot of good resources in the future. It was Jiatai who arranged for me to come here tonight. I don't need to worry about running out of scenes to film. I just want to watch you tonight. I’m sorry, I’ll introduce you to Director Zhang.”
Wen Xi knew for sure that he was here to show off his superiority.
But she was very curious about how Luo Yu signed Jiatai.
"I'll get you some clothes, you wait."
Luo Yu went out, and Wen Xi sat by the bed, pressing his forehead. He didn't feel any better, but instead felt even more dizzy.
I feel a bit floating.
The world is spinning.
Shaking her head, she kept adjusting her breathing, trying to make herself feel better.
Outside.
Luo Yu took out the sexy underwear and hangover tea mixed with medicine that she had prepared, and walked quickly towards the room.
After chatting with the mysterious man last night, the two of them set their sights on Director Zhang Xuan. The mysterious man told her that Director Zhang had known Wen Xi for a long time and had always wanted to marry her, but he had failed.
After the two discussed it, they decided to send Wen Xi to Zhang Xuan's bed and make Zhang Xuan think that Wen Xi took the initiative to seduce him. Luo Yu would pull a line in the middle and pass the message, so that he could claim credit when the time came.
The two planned to knock Wen Xi out with medicine before sending him to this room, and then tell Director Zhang that Wen Xi had something to do with him and lure him to this room.
When the time comes when there is a man and a woman alone, Wen Xi takes the medicine again, and the fire is inevitable, so she, Luo Yu, gets this favor.
The mysterious man asked her to secretly record the video to prevent Director Zhang from defaulting on the bill in the future, or Wen Xi to think of something and bite her back, so as to give herself a guarantee.
She was fully prepared for all these things, but she didn't expect that Wen Xi would be drunk before being knocked unconscious by her medicine. Although it was a bit wrong, it did not affect the overall situation.
She thought that as long as Wen Xi drank this cup of tea, things would basically be successful.
Ahem, cough, cough, how will things develop
See you tomorrow night, bye (Crayon Shinchan-style wave)!
