Chapter 458
Drunken Ramblings
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
Cheng Xiao has always had a very low alcohol tolerance. After two cups of wine, two blushes appeared on her fair and delicate cheeks, and her speech became a little slurred.
Seeing that her eyes were already somewhat dazed, Wu Xuanyi put down the silver fork and asked tentatively with concern:
"Xiaoxiao, it's getting late, shall we head back?"
"Don't you have to go back to the film set to shoot in a few days? It wouldn't be good if you got drunk and messed up your work."
"What important business are you delaying...?"
Cheng Xiao waved his hand, his eyes glazed over with drunkenness, his words drawn out, revealing a hint of unbridled speech born of intoxication:
"The boss has all gone to Hong Kong... He'll be there for at least a week before he comes back, so who cares about me!"
Upon hearing the words "the boss is going to Hong Kong," Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi, sitting across the table, were both startled!
The two women quickly exchanged a glance.
Meng Meiqi's eyes darted around, and she mustered her courage, casually probing with a question:
"Xiaoxiao, is the boss you mentioned... Han Shangzhe, the director of your Haofeng Film and Television?"
In their minds, Cheng Xiao's ability to act with impunity in Haofeng was probably due to her connection with Han Shangzhe.
After all, Lao Han is the head of the film and television department, and he usually makes the most public appearances at various opening ceremonies and press conferences.
More importantly, Lao Han is over fifty years old this year, and he is still fat and bloated, which perfectly fits their stereotype of "young idols marrying old men to get ahead".
If she hadn't found a sugar daddy who was older than her own father, how could he have been so willing to spend so much money on Cheng Xiao, including luxury houses and cars, and even give her the lead role in "Goodbye My Princess"?
however.
Upon hearing Han Shangzhe's name, Cheng Xiao, who was lying on the table, burst out laughing.
She pointed at Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi, somewhat smugly, and said:
"You said I was drunk... I think it's you two who are drunk!"
"Director Han... what kind of boss is Director Han? He's just an employee!"
"Haofeng... Haofeng has only ever had one boss!"
boom!
A boss?!
Who else could Haofeng's boss be from beginning to end?!
Li Feng!!
That behemoth from the Yangtze River Delta region, whose every stomp of its foot sends shivers down the spines of the entire entertainment and tech sectors of Southeast University?!
Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi's minds went blank for a moment, and they felt a current rush from their tailbone straight to the top of their head!
The person Cheng Xiao latched onto wasn't that old man Han Shangzhe...
Instead, it's that Mr. Li, whose net worth is at least hundreds of billions and who is only in his early thirties?!
"Xiao... Xiao Xiao".
Wu Xuanyi, barely suppressing his heart pounding in his throat, urgently confirmed:
"But... even if Mr. Li went to Hong Kong, what does that have to do with you, Xiaoxiao?"
"A big shot like Li Feng, who has to manage such a large corporation on a daily basis, probably... probably doesn't have time to personally oversee your film and television department, right?"
"How can it be alright...?"
Cheng Xiao lay slumped on the table, his consciousness already softened by alcohol. He mumbled something, reciting those unwritten rules of the bedroom as if they were just casual conversation:
"As long as the boss is in Nanjing... I have to be available whenever he calls..."
"And...and Akane..."
The word "sister" hadn't even had a chance to roll out of her throat!
"Ring ring—!!"
On the table, Cheng Xiao's Xiaomi phone suddenly started screaming like crazy!
A crisp bell suddenly rang out in the restaurant!
Startled by this sudden revelation, Cheng Xiao, who was previously incoherent, shuddered!
My mind, which had been foggy just moments before, suddenly cleared up as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over my head!
Akane……
She almost revealed "Sister Qian" just now!!
Cheng Xiao was so frightened that her hands and feet turned ice-cold, and she grabbed her phone from the table.
When she saw the words "Sister Qian" flashing on the screen, she felt her heart stop beating, and frantically swiped to answer the call:
"Hey...hey, Sister Qian!"
On the other end of the phone, Song Qian's clear, cold voice, tinged with a hint of sternness, immediately came through:
"Where are you so late? Why are you making such a racket?"
Thinking about how he had almost caused a disaster, Cheng Xiao, feeling guilty, even stammered a little:
"No...nowhere! Sister Song Qian, two of my former teammates from Seoul just returned to China today, and I...I'm out welcoming them back..."
Noticing that Cheng Xiao's speech was a little stiff, Song Qian on the other end of the phone frowned slightly and subconsciously warned him:
"Stop drinking horse piss! Shut your mouth tight and don't talk nonsense to cats and dogs outside!"
After reprimanding her, Song Qian changed the subject and got down to business:
"Also, Liu Zhimin's flight arrives in Nanjing early tomorrow morning."
"Sister Mi specifically instructed that since the young lady is new here, she should stay in your large apartment in Jinmao Mansion for a few days."
"Keep a close eye on her these next few days, and teach her some basic Chinese conversation. Understand?"
"I understand! I understand!!"
Cheng Xiao felt as if he had been granted a pardon and repeatedly expressed his gratitude into the microphone:
"Don't worry, Sister Qian! I promise I'll teach you my best! I promise I won't say a single careless word!!"
"Alright, go back to sleep."
With a beep, the call ended.
Hearing the busy tone, Cheng Xiao slumped into a chair, panting heavily, her exaggeratedly large breasts heaving up and down.
She looked up and met Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi's pairs of eyes, which were full of prying eyes.
Cheng Xiao tensed up; he dared not linger at the table any longer!
She didn't even have time to properly hold her bag before frantically grabbing the Porsche car keys from the table and tossing out a sentence:
"Um... Xuanyi, Meiqi! The company has an urgent matter that needs my attention, I need to go right away!"
"I've already bought the food, please enjoy your meal and don't be shy! I'm leaving now!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Xiao fled out of the restaurant!
Only Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi remained across the table, staring at the already opened bottle of Louis XIII, lost in a long, stunned silence.
