After another busy afternoon of film shooting, Yan Ke'er took Yuan Meng on another food - hunting adventure after work.
“Burp... Sister Mengmeng, this place is really delicious. It's just a bit expensive... Hehe, thanks for treating me to this big meal, Sister Mengmeng!”
“It's okay, Ke'er. You're my dearest assistant. I'm determined to be a good boss!” The fruit tea with the store's exclusive recipe was so delicious that Yuan Meng couldn't resist having quite a bit. Now she felt the urge to go to the restroom.
“Ke'er, you keep eating. I'll go to the bathroom.” Yan Ke'er was busy with her lobster and just nodded to show she understood.
A little while later, Yuan Meng came out of the restroom and was on her way back to the private room.
“General Manager Li, I have a shooting tomorrow, so I won't keep you company any longer. Please enjoy your meal.” Not far from Yuan Meng, the door of a private room was open, and a woman's voice came from inside. The voice sounded familiar to Yuan Meng.
“Liu Yi, it's still early. Sit down and eat for a while longer. You see, I haven't even let you drink much. Can't you stay a bit longer?”
Liu Yi?
Hearing Liu Yi's name, Yuan Meng walked over to say hello.
“General Manager Li, I really have a shoot early tomorrow morning. I have to get up early, so I really can't drink with you anymore.”
Bang!
“So you must leave, right? Fine, drink these three glasses of Baijiu and I'll let you go!” As he said that, General Manager Li's assistant took out three goblets and filled them with Baijiu.
Liu Yi's face turned a bit pale. Drinking this much Baijiu at once would either get her drunk or take half of her life. But this General Manager Li was not someone a small, background - less actress like her could afford to offend...
“Why are you forcing Liu Yi to drink?” Yuan Meng stood at the door of the private room, her eyes wide open, with a cold look on her face that Liu Yi had never seen before.
“Yuan Meng, why are you here!” Seeing the appraising look General Manager Li cast on Yuan Meng, Liu Yi quickly stood in front of her to block her.
“General Manager Li, this is my colleague. We just ran into each other. Three glasses of wine, right? I'll drink these three glasses and you'll let us go!” After saying that, Liu Yi was about to pick up the glass to drink. It didn't matter to her, but she couldn't drag Yuan Meng into this.
“Don't drink. Drinking so much high - proof Baijiu is like asking for death!”
Yuan Meng pushed Liu Yi aside and slowly walked towards General Manager Li.
“General Manager Li, do you know... who I am!” Yuan Meng pretended to be both scared and determined. Even in this crisis, she had to act the part well.
“Do you know Ling Qianchen!” Yuan Meng spread her arms and stood in front of Liu Yi, confronting General Manager Li.
“Mengmeng...” Liu Yi said worriedly.
“It's okay, Liu Yi.” Yuan Meng took a step forward, took out her phone from her pocket, and opened Ling Qianchen's call interface.
“General Manager Li, right? You may not have seen me, but... but you should have heard about Ling Qianchen helping his wife break into the entertainment industry.”
Yuan Meng's hand trembled as she held the phone in front of General Manager Li. The phone screen showed Ling Qianchen's number.
“I'm Mrs. Ling! You... pack up and leave right away. Don't make things difficult for us, or I'll call Ling Qianchen right now!”
Yuan Meng's hand and voice were both trembling, showing great fear.
“Little girl, should I just believe you when you say you're Mrs. Ling?” General Manager Li was about to stand up and say something when his assistant suddenly remembered something. “General Manager Li... When I was talking to the director before, I seem to have heard him say that there was a big shot in the crew. It was General Manager Ling who personally called to guarantee it.” The assistant whispered in General Manager Li's ear.
General Manager Li frowned. What if she was really Mrs. Ling... If he offended Mrs. Ling, wouldn't Ling Qianchen skin him alive!
“You're lucky. I'll investigate this. If you two little actresses dare to lie to me, you're dead!” General Manager Li and his assistant quickly left the private room. Later, when Ling Qianchen sent someone to handle the matter, General Manager Li was so scared that he didn't dare to leave his house for several days. Of course, that's a story for later.
“Mengmeng, you're so brave! Also, you're... Mrs. Ling. Is this for real?”
Yuan Meng lowered her head and showed a shy expression. The answer was self - evident.
“Thank you so much today, Mrs. Ling!” Seeing Yuan Meng's cute look, Liu Yi couldn't help but tease her.
“Don't mention it. Just... just call me Yuan Meng. Don't call me Mrs. Ling... I... I don't want our relationship to be affected because of this.” Yuan Meng opened her big eyes wide and stared at Liu Yi pitifully.
“Got it. I'm just teasing you!” Unable to resist her cute look, Liu Yi couldn't help but poke the tip of her nose.
“Um, Ke'er is still waiting for me to go back. I... I'll leave first. Let's just pretend today's incident never happened. I won't tell anyone. See you tomorrow!”
Yuan Meng was startled by Liu Yi's sudden doting gesture of poking her nose and quickly ran towards the private room.
After dinner, Yuan Meng and Yan Ke'er returned to the hotel. Yuan Meng thought and thought and still felt uneasy. What if that General Manager Li went to take revenge on Liu Yi? But in order not to expose her identity, it wasn't convenient for her to use her influence to handle everything...
“How about...”
【Husband... I... I met a bad guy today... It was so scary!】
【The bad guy is called General Manager Li. He didn't even believe you were my husband. He wanted Liu Yi to accompany him in drinking. Wuwuwu!】
【Husband, he also said he would take revenge on me. Husband, you have to help me. Go and tell him that I'm your wife. Wuwuwu!】
Ling Qianchen sighed helplessly when he saw the messages.
【He didn't even let you accompany him in drinking. Mind your own business. If he takes revenge on you, then tell me.】
“Dead jerk. By the time he takes revenge, it'll be too late for me! How can I tell you then!”
【Husband! Please help me... I... If you don't help me, I'll have to keep begging you. Wuwuwu. I'll beg you every day!】
【Please help. That General Manager Li looks like a useless fool. With just one word from you, he'll be scared out of his wits! Husband, please go. Go!】
【By the time he causes me trouble, it'll be too late for me to contact you. Wuwuwu... I'm so scared. I'm so weak. I definitely can't beat him. Husband, just help me once!】
After sending the messages, Yuan Meng still felt it wasn't enough and called Ling Qianchen.
Ling Qianchen thought this woman dared to threaten him now? How insolent!
Just as he was about to ignore Yuan Meng, he received her call. Ling Qianchen couldn't help but think of Yuan Meng's crying tactics and felt a headache.
Ling Qianchen hung up the phone, but Yuan Meng called again immediately.
【Stop calling. I'll help you handle it. This is the only time. Don't meddle in other people's business in the future.】
【Love you, husband. Mua. Good night!】
“Humph! If you don't help me, I'll annoy you to death!” Yuan Meng, who had successfully annoyed Ling Qianchen again, happily took a nice hot bath. Then she concentrated on studying the script. She practiced her lines against the air over and over again until very late before she fell asleep.
Anyway, since she had taken on the job, she had to be responsible to the end!
Moreover, she didn't want to be criticized!
