Chapter 1525: Think About It Carefully
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We’ve just starting having fun. Why are you leaving, Director Yan?”
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. He was not tall, had a bald head, and a big belly. He had the characteristics of a successful person. He could not look poor even if he wanted to.
The man’s name was Chen Ke, and he was the vice president and third-largest shareholder of Yanjing Lian Ying Film Group.
Although the current movie people only knew Wanda Pictures, Chen Ke’s Lian Ying Film Group was the second largest cinema group in Huaxia. Its market share was not much smaller than Wanda Pictures.
As for Chen Ke, he could be considered an out-and-out big shot in the film and television industry.
Those who could sit at the same table as him were all famous figures in the circle.
Although these people didn’t have good looks, their statuses in society were better than others. In comparison, Yan Ci fell far short of these people.
If no one had been taking care of her, she would not be qualified to attend such a meal for at least the next few years.
“It’s just that my boyfriend came to pick me up. Otherwise, I would definitely stay and drink a few more glasses with President Chen.”
“Didn’t you invest in a new movie recently? Let’s talk about the screening of the movie. I’m quite optimistic about it. The returns should be sizeable,” Chen Ke said.
“If you leave, we won’t be able to talk about this.”
There was a hidden meaning in Chen Ke’s words. Everyone present was smart and could already understand what he meant.
It was obvious for Yan Ci to hear. If she left, there was no way her movie would be screened in his cinemas.
The person who brought Yan Ci to the dinner today was called Sun Qing.
He was a famous investor in the industry. The two of them had a bit of a private relationship, but it was not like they were very close.
The reason why he brought her here was because Chen Ke had unintentionally seen Yan Ci and couldn’t forget her. Therefore, he secretly called Sun Qing to bring Yan Ci to this dinner, hoping that there would be further developments.
Yan Ci frowned. Even though the others were also full of dirty jokes, this Chen Ke was even more outrageous. It made her feel that this person had an ulterior motive, so she had been deliberately keeping a distance.
However, Yan Ci was afraid of the other party’s status in the circle, so she could only turn a blind eye to his so-called hints.
On the other hand, she had drunk too much and her consciousness was no longer clear. If she continued to drink, things might turn sour.
“I’m really sorry, President Chen. My boyfriend really came to pick me up. I can only apologize today.”
Seeing that Yan Ci was not afraid of his threat, the people at the table did not speak much. All of them looked around, not prepared to interfere in this matter.
Chen Ke’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t expect Yan Ci to be such an unappreciative person.
Although he had some complaints, he did not want to give up so easily.contemporary romance
He was already tired of playing with those starlets in the entertainment industry. A slightly curvy lady like Yan Ci was his favorite type of girl.
Soon, Chen Ke’s eyes darted around. “Director Yan, where is your boyfriend waiting for you?”
“He’s in the hall downstairs,” Yan Ci answered generously without thinking too much.
“Even if you’re in a hurry to leave, these few minutes won’t make a difference,” Chen Ke said.
“There’s still half a bottle of red wine on the table. It’s not too late for you to finish this wine before leaving.”
Since Chen Ke had spoken, Yan Ci gritted her teeth. She felt that with her alcohol tolerance, she should have no problem finishing this wine.
Moreover, Lin Yi was still outside. There was nothing to worry about.
“Then I’ll call him and ask him to wait for me.”
“Alright, I’m going to the washroom.”
After saying that, Chen Ke lit a cigarette, pushed the door open, and walked out of the private room.
Seeing Chen Ke come out, the driver who was resting at the side walked towards him.
The driver was thin, which was a stark contrast to Chen Ke.
His name was Mao Jinsong, and he was Chen Ke’s driver and bodyguard.
“President Chen, are you leaving? I’ll go prepare the car now.”
“No need,” Chenke said.
“Go to the lobby downstairs and ask around for someone. He’s Yan Ci’s boyfriend. He’s probably in his twenties or early thirties. He should look pretty good. If you find him, send him away immediately and don’t let him show his face here.”
“Alright, I understand.”
After assigning the task, Chen Ke went to the bathroom while Mao Jinsong went downstairs to look for the man the boss had told him about.
Down on the first floor, Mao Jinsong looked around and found two people in the waiting area of the lobby on the first floor. Both of them met the boss’ requirements. For a moment, he couldn’t tell which one was Yan Ci’s boyfriend.
Subconsciously, Mao Jinsong walked towards the man in the suit and asked politely,
“Are you Director Yan Ci’s boyfriend?”
The man who was drinking coffee was stunned. He did not expect someone to ask him such a random question. He reacted for a few seconds before shaking his head.
“I’m sorry, you’ve got the wrong person.”
“Sorry to bother you.”
Mao Jinsong subconsciously looked at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi looked back at him.
“Are you Director Yan’s boyfriend?”
Lin Yi looked Mao Jinsong up and down.
“Why are you looking for me?”
“It’s like this. Director Yan asked me to pass a message to you. She still has something to do and won’t be able to leave for a while. You can go back first.”
“Go back first?”
“Yes, that’s what Director Yan said.”
Lin Yi instinctively felt that there was something fishy going on.
Yan Ci had already called him and asked him to wait for a while, and she would leave in 20 minutes at most.
However, she didn’t tell him to leave early.
“How can I believe you? I’ll call her and ask.”
Just as Lin Yi took out his phone and was about to make a call, Mao Jinsong stopped him.
“Sir, since she’s already said this, there’s no need to call anymore. Go back now. Director Yan will contact you later.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“No.” Mao Jinsong said.
“It’s just that my boss has a lot to discuss with Director Yan. She won’t be able to leave for a while. It won’t be too late for you to pick her up after they’re done. But for now, I don’t want you here.”
“And if I don’t leave?”
Mao Jinsong did not panic at all, as if he had expected this to happen.
“If you don’t want to leave, we can go out and have a chat. This is a public place. There are some things that are inconvenient for me to do here.”
“Then let’s go.”
Lin Yi was indeed not in a hurry. Yan Ci asked him to wait a little longer, so he decided to play with this guy first.
The two of them left the hotel one after another and arrived at the parking lot behind the hotel.
During this time, Mao Jinsong also sent a message to Chen Ke, telling him that the matter had been settled.
“Sir…”
Before Mao Jinsong could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped.
He saw Lin Yi take out a dagger and press it against his neck!
“What do you want to tell me? You’d better think carefully before you say anything..”
