The two of them arrived at the private room. Chen Xin was not here yet. Shen Yu secretly led Zhu Ling to talk to him and even prayed in his heart that Chen Xin would come slower.
However, Chen Xin had not asked anyone out for a drink recently. His alcohol addiction had long kicked in, so he drove over quickly.
Seeing Zhu Ling beside Shen Yu, Chen Xin understood something.
He had a good relationship with Shen Yu. Although Shen Yu was born rich, he was an easy-going person. Moreover, he really had acting skills and ability. It was very comfortable to work with Shen Yu, and it was not bad to be friends with him.
“Director Chen, let me introduce you. This is Miss Zhu Ling.” Shen Yu sat close to Zhu Ling and stood up to greet Chen Xin.
Chen Xin blinked at him, meaning: I understand.
Shen Yu was a little embarrassed. He deliberately didn’t say Zhu Ling’s identity because he had his own selfish motives. This introduction seemed intimate.
Zhu Ling also stood up with Shen Yu, looking like an elite. There was a proper smile on her beautiful face. After Shen Yu introduced her, Zhu Ling took the initiative to extend her hand. “Hello, Director Chen. I’m Jing Yao’s manager, Zhu Ling.”
Chen Xin raised his eyebrows slightly. They were all in the entertainment industry, so he knew Jing Yao. However, Miss Zhu’s attitude towards Shen Yu was very natural. She was not close to him at all. Sigh, it seemed that Shen Yu was still in a one-sided relationship.
Next, it was time for Shen Yu and Chen Xin to compete in drinking.
In the past, when Zhu Ling went out to pull strings and talk about cooperation, she would do the drinking herself. However, Shen Yu did not give her a chance this time.
She had indeed talked to Chen Xin a lot. Zhu Ling had her own opinions on many things and could talk to Chen Xin. Chen Xin would toast her when he was excited, but he was stopped by Shen Yu every time.
“Director Chen, come, come. 1’11 drink with you.” As he spoke, he drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Xin smiled at him, his eyes filled with admiration. He also drank the wine in his glass in one go and said with a smile, “You’ve improved. In the past, you avoided drinking at the celebration party. This time, you’re like an indomitable man.”
Shen Yu’s stomach was twitching slightly. He only wanted to die when he heard that. He was only a man after drinking, so whoever wanted to be a man could do it.
Zhu Ling didn’t understand what Shen Yu wanted to do. She saw that he swayed when he sat down. Thinking that he had blocked the wine for her, she leaned over and whispered, “You don’t have to help me. I can drink it myself.”
Shen Yu’s eyes were red. His handsome face, which was sought after by millions of fans, was drunk. Hearing Zhu Ling’s words, he leaned towards her ear and whispered, “You don’t have to drink. Only I need to drink with him.”
Zhu Ling was slightly stunned and instinctively wanted to touch her ears.
When Shen Yu leaned close to her ear and spoke just now, there was a wave of heat. Her heart raced for a second and her face inexplicably heated up.
Chen Xin poured himself a cup and drank. He looked at the young man and woman opposite him with a smile in his eyes. To be honest, the two of them were very compatible in terms of appearance and temperament.
He was a screenwriter and director. He had seen all the ways of the world, so how could he not see through Shen Yu’s thoughts? As a good friend for many years, he did not mind helping Shen Yu.
“I’ve been creating a new script recently. There’s a role in it. I think it’s quite suitable for Miss Jing,” Chen Xin said to Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling was delighted. “It’s Jing Yao’s fortune to be liked by Director Chen. I’ve been Jing Yao’s manager for a few years and know her best. She doesn’t have any outstanding works because she was suppressed by her previous management company, but Jing Yao is very smart and has been training her acting skills. I hope to have a chance to work with Director Chen.”
Chen Xin nodded. “There’s definitely a chance. My script is still being written. Coupled with the planning, it will take at least a year. According to the Internet, Jing Yao is not suitable to take on any roles given her current situation. I’ll talk to Miss Zhu personally when the script is out.”
Zhu Ling knew that there was hope and instinctively wanted to get her wine glass. Under such circumstances, those who were tactful should know what to do.
However, just as she reached out, the wine glass was taken away by Shen Yu.
Shen Yu poured himself a glass of wine and stood up. “Thank you for giving us this opportunity, Director Chen. I’ll thank you on behalf of my sister-in-law first.”
Chen Xin smiled without saying anything. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with his.
“…” Zhu Ling.
Although Jing Yao is indeed your Sister-in -law and it is barely acceptable for you to toast on her behalf, why did you take my cup?
That night, Zhu Ling did not drink a single drop of alcohol. Shen Yu drank until he lost his mind.
In the end, it was Zhu Ling who called her brother, Zhu Sui, over to get Shen Yu back..
