Volume 1: Entertainment Circle Chapter 19: Jealousy Upgrade

  "Sir, the dishes are ready." The waiter at the door whispered to Meitrel, who was blocking the door like a door god.

  Mettel stepped aside, wanting to say something, but Tan Jieyan's phoenix eyes swept over with a hint of danger. Although his face was still cold and indifferent, the majesty in his eyes made Mettel keep silent.

  However, the strong aroma of roasted duck on the table instantly made Mettel forget this little episode and started eating with gusto. The satisfied expression almost made people suspect that he had moved his career to China just for authentic Chinese cuisine.

  "The 1982 Lafite, with a fragrant and slightly wild flavor, pairs perfectly with roasted duck." Although there was no wine cellar in his office, as a romantic Frenchman, how could he not love wine? The bottle of Lafite on the dinner table was brought from France by Méteil.

  He's still allergic, still running a low fever, and he's going to drink? Tong Jing ate her food, casting a disapproving glance at Tan Jieyan beside her, looking at his chiseled cold face, and finally couldn't help but reach out from under the table to tug on Tan Jieyan's sleeve.

  Tan Jieyan stopped the action of picking up his wine glass, glanced sideways at the person beside him who was frowning as if nothing had happened, but was actually holding onto his hem under the table, and thought to himself that he was still allergic, so he finally put down the wine glass in his hand.

  "What's wrong? This is an '82 Lafite." Mettel couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, looking at Tan Jieyan who had put down his wine glass. He had brought out this treasured Lafite precisely because Tan was a good friend.

  "Skin allergy, a bit of low fever, no drinking." Tan Jieyan pushed the wine glass in front of Mettel, apologetically explaining, although his face was still stern and cold, but somehow the hard lines seemed to have softened a lot.

  "Skin allergy? Haha, then I won't be polite!" Mettel burst out laughing. Not to mention that this cup of Lafite hadn't been drunk yet, even if it really had been drunk, Mettel wouldn't have minded drinking the remaining red wine.

  After dinner.

  Tan Jiyang was driving a car with a military license plate, Tong Jing didn't drive, so she followed Tan Jiyang subconsciously until Mette spoke up, smiling with her bright blue eyes and teasingly said, "Little Jing, do you want me to take you back to the company or do you want Jiyang to take you there?"

  "I'll take a taxi back myself." Tong Jing only then remembered Tan Jieyan's identity, he really sent himself back to Blue Dolphin without being seen by anyone, which was good. If someone from Blue Dolphin saw them, the deputy mayor of Beijing and an artist from the entertainment industry, Tong Jing shuddered at the thought, fearing that it wouldn't be just a scandal, but would also tarnish Tan Jieyan's public image.

  "How can this be? How can I let Xiaotong take a taxi back, it's also too ungentlemanly." Meite looked at Tan Jieyan with satisfaction, at least he could still try to send Xiaotong back, Jieyan's status was there, not even trying was possible.

  Tong Ying didn't insist on walking towards Mette's car anymore. Originally, Tong Ying wanted to go home, but after taking a look at Mette who was driving, in order to avoid her own residence being exposed, she let Mette send her back to the company instead.

  Until Mettel's car started to leave, Tan Jieyan drove in the opposite direction, suddenly remembering that Mettel had two glasses of red wine at noon, and if he was caught by traffic police, he would probably be the first foreigner in Beijing to be arrested for drunk driving.

  Blue Dolphin Entertainment Company.

  Wu Minru's eyes were red at this moment, sitting in the rest area drinking water. Qian Li handed over a newly bought meal box and comforted her, "Minru, your strength is here. Even if you lost this opportunity to be a spokesperson, there will be next time. Compared to advertising endorsements, actually taking part in movies and TV dramas is the best way. Besides, Tong Jing refused Mettel's lunch invitation today, so even if this endorsement was signed, it may not last long."

  "Thank you, Qian Ge. I'm not jealous of Xiao Dong, I just feel a bit uncomfortable." Wu Minru lifted her head and gave Qian Li a strong smile, then lowered her head to take the lunchbox and started eating elegantly.

  His heart was fluctuating in an instant, Qian Li was also considered a veteran in the entertainment industry, and had seen many beautiful actresses. But at this moment, he felt his heart beating uncontrollably, Wu Minru's strength, her kindness, even the elegance of eating had turned into ripples that spread across his chest.

  The rest room is on the second floor, through the window you can see the entrance of the Blue Dolphin downstairs. Wu Minru glanced at Qian Li who was lost in thought, with a hint of disdain flashing across her eyes, she continued eating, suddenly her hand holding chopsticks hesitated, and the broccoli she had picked up fell to the ground. Her beautiful makeup, with eyeliner on her big eyes, now looked jealous as she gazed downstairs.

  Digression

  On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone, how many red envelopes have you received? I'm so envious! My face is old and nobody gave me any red envelopes. Rolling on the ground, everyone should share some red envelopes with me.
