"Mr. Chen, let's not stand on ceremony, I boldly suggest that we take our seats!"
Li Yao glanced at Qin Wei, his expression was clearly about to get angry, and hurriedly pressed Chen Maoran's hand, pushing him to sit down first, and then sat down next to him, and signaled Qin Wei with his eyes to sit down too.
However, Chen Maoran suddenly collected his smile, his eyes were almost cold looking at Li Yao:
"It's not very good for Little Li to be like this. Today I'm treating Miss Qin. You're like this, it affects our relationship!"
Li Yao squeezed out a smile with difficulty, regretting agreeing to this dinner a little, but now he was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off. There were more than just Tianshi under the Tiancheng Group, offending the Asia Pacific executive at the beginning would probably get Qin Wei's road blocked.
There was no way, Li Yao could only take a step back, looked at Qin Wei apologetically.
On the other side, Chen Maoran refused to give up:
"Little Li, you should drink three cups as a punishment!"
Without saying anything more, Li Yao took the wine handed over by Tianshi's staff and drank it down one cup after another.
"Come, Miss Qin, let's toast!"
Chen Maoran pointed to the glass of red wine in front of Qin Wei and said.
Qin Wei was in no hurry to drink, but calmly waved to the waiter at the door, whispered something to him, and the waiter nodded and went out.
Chen Maoran's eyes were still roaming over Qin Wei's body. While raising his glass, he said,
"Miss Qin is so beautiful, your temperament is also something that others can't imitate. A beauty like you is especially suitable to match our 'Tianshi' high-end watch series.
For initial cooperation, let’s first make you the brand spokesperson for the Asia Pacific region. If we cooperate happily in the future...”
He stopped short, his eyes falling on her chest. He swallowed and continued,
"I’ll recommend you to the head office. With our Asia Pacific marketing department's recommendation, being the global spokesperson is not impossible...
Before that, let’s toast first."
Before he finished speaking, the waiter came in with something, put it in front of Qin Wei. Qin Wei nodded slightly, took out 100 yuan from the bag as a tip for the waiter.
Chen Maoran glanced at what was on the table, the words "Medical Disinfectant Wipes" made his pupils shrink. Before he could speak, Qin Wei preempted him:
"What's wrong, Mr. Chen? Weren't we going to eat and drink? It's changing seasons now, and epidemics are prevalent. Calamity comes from the mouth... No, disease comes from the mouth! We must thoroughly clean our hands before eating."
As she spoke, she took out several wipes and wiped her hands.
...
"Brother Kai, let me pour you a drink."
In the KTV box, Xiao Jin saw Shen Kai's glass was empty, and immediately took the initiative to ingratiate himself.
Shen Kai looked at his phone. It was 10 o'clock in the evening. He was going to go home and rest originally, but the sponsor insisted on taking him out to celebrate again.
He didn't want to disappoint the other party, so he came.
"Brother Kai, congratulations on finishing shooting your new drama. We ChengGu Jewelry will do our best to help promote it later. Your drama will definitely sell well!"
A man leaned over and sat next to him, saying this and raised his glass to toast with him.
Shen Kai naturally gave him face and took a sip.
After drinking, he couldn't help but glance at his phone again unconsciously.
Out of professional habit, the man noticed that Shen Kai was not wearing a watch commensurate with his suit, even though he was wearing a suit today.
The man smiled and said to Shen Kai,
"Brother Kai, Tianshi has launched a new series of watches. I’ll pick out some suitable ones and send them to you later."
"Tianshi?"
Shen Kai blurted out, for a moment he couldn't remember what he was talking about.
The man explained,
"Brother Kai, important people forget things easily. Tianshi is our Tiancheng Group's high-end watch brand. I sent you one before, and you said the one with the diamond hour hand looked good."
Shen Kai recalled that there seemed to be such a thing, but with so many watches, he couldn't remember which one for a moment.
"Oh...Tianshi, I remember now."
Shen Kai made some perfunctory remarks. As a result, he heard the other party casually say,
"In recent years, Tianshi wanted to target the Asian market. It has hired and fired several spokespersons, but the effects were not good. This time it took a risk by hiring Qin Wei. I don't know if it will work out..."
Qin Wei?
Shen Kai frowned. She already had an endorsement deal? How come he hadn't heard any wind of it at all.
Seeing Shen Kai's expression was abnormal, the man suddenly realized he had slipped up and quickly apologized,
"Sorry, Brother Kai, I drank too much. I shouldn't have mentioned it..."
Shen Kai didn't care about this. At the moment, he just wanted to confirm if it was true, so he asked him,
"It's confirmed?"
The man nodded,
"It's true. Our ChengGu Jewelry and Tianshi belong to the same group after all, although they are different subsidiaries. But there is some work overlap.
I heard my colleague say that the endorsement over there has been decided. He also said the marketing director is taking Qin Wei out for dinner tonight. Tsk, actually I feel like this dinner is unnecessary. It's probably just that lecher Chen Maoran wanting to take the chance to meet a celebrity..."
"Dinner? Chen Maoran?"
Shen Kai vaguely felt something was wrong. If he remembered correctly, Chen Maoran didn't have a good reputation in the industry, but just in case, he still asked Xiao Jin to call Liu Simin over.
Xiao Jin hurried over,
"Bro, stop singing, Brother Kai is asking for you."
Liu Simin put down the microphone and saw Shen Kai beckoning to him from the door.
Seeing him walk over, Shen Kai then pushed the door and went out.
Liu Simin saw him walking out while putting on his coat, so he jogged to catch up:
"Leaving now doesn't seem right?"
Shen Kai sent Qin Wei a message on his phone, but the message failed to send. He glanced at Liu Simin and said,
"What's not right? Both of us have been drinking, I'll let Xiao Jin drive. I have urgent business that absolutely cannot be delayed!"
After getting in the car, Shen Kai told Xiao Jin,
"Head to Huafu Hotel."
Shen Kai was friends with the young master of Huafu Hotel. After one phone call he knew which room Chen Maoran had booked. He didn't dare delay one bit, got out of the elevator and walked straight to the box and pushed open the door.
"Qin Wei, wait for me, you must not get into trouble... Huh???"
The door opened, but the scene inside was completely different from what he had imagined.
Four men in suits were crouching against the wall in a row, being questioned by two policemen.
There was also an oily fat man sitting on the ground with blood on his face, hands, and shirt. He was using gauze to press on a wound on his head, obviously having been hit on the head with a wine bottle, the broken glass of wine bottles scattered all over the floor. He was now groaning in pain.
Another policeman was taking samples from the dining table with gloved hands.
While Qin Wei was sitting leisurely at the reception table by the window eating dinner.
Australian lobster, sea urchin black truffle, Wagyu beef and foie gras rice, the offerings on the table were quite abundant.
Ah this...
She was eating??
Shen Kai's first reaction was that there was something wrong with his eyes.
Qin Wei looked over unhurriedly, wiped her mouth, and then pointed to the man at the door and said to the policeman,
"Officer, his accomplice is here!"
Shen Kai was even more confused:
"Ac...accomplice??"
