Chapter 26: Inappropriate and Disgusting

Her heart sank. At this time, Song Xing Xing seemed to recall Song Yi's warning to her about Bai Zhi.

She knew that the way Bai Zhi acted at the fashion show venue was a little strange. However, she had defended her friend, thinking that she had known Bai Zhi for years and her friend was not a bad person.

Bai Zhi might have won the role as the third female lead, she was still a small actress. It was impossible for someone like her not to know that there was nothing unusual about entertaining the higher-up. Drinking was the norm.

However, she was just Bai Zhi's friend. No matter what, Bai Zhi should never think that she could rely on her to drink on her stead.

But the look on Bai Zhi's face at this moment showed that she wanted her to help and entertain this producer in her stead.

Song Xing Xing lowered her gaze and hid her smile. Then, she flashed a smile towards the producer, picked up the wine glass, and drink slowly.

…

In another part of the restaurant, a young man with black-rimmed glasses was seen sitting in the private dining room as he was enjoying his food. The room was large enough to fill a dozen round banquet table, but at this time, including the bespectacled man, there were five people inside the room.

The plates and bowls have long been cleared up by the waiters. At this time, there were only a few glasses of water and some documents on the table.

Lu Xun held the thin stack of paper in his hand as he read each word carefully. Once he reached the final page, Lu Xun took off his glasses and squinted at them against the light. Clearly, there was nothing wrong with his glasses. However, this was one of the habits he had when he wanted to delay times and think.

Meanwhile, the three men dressed in suit and tie across him watched his action anxiously. At this time, they were waiting for President Lu Xun to give his verdict. One word from President Lu Xun would be able to determine their future.

At the side, Special Assistant Bei Yuan was watching the three partners and thought that their expression was a little adorable.

The three men in front of President Lu Xun were still university students. They had bright ideas, but no money.

A few days ago, the three of them dared to call the president's office. Special Assistant Bei Yuan was the one who picked up the phone call.

The three men wanted to be given the chance to meet with President Lu Xun. They wanted to present their ideas and hope that the big boss would be willing to invest his money in their project.

As the assistant, Bei Yuan reported this matter to his boss.

Surprisingly, Lu Xun agreed to meet these men and let him arranged for a meal at this restaurant.

Bei Yuan sat at the side as he listened to the three university students present their ideas. He thought that the students had big dreams. But the project that they wanted to do was a little difficult. Even with a lot of money, without perseverance, it would be hard for them to succeed.

However, at this time, no one knew what was going on in President Lu Xun's mind.

After working for him for years, Bei Yuan thought that his boss was unpredictable. Though the students' words were convincing, there was a big chance that the big boss was going to reject their proposal.

Lu Xun put his glasses back and looked at the three young men in front of him. The corner of his lips turned up slightly when he saw their anticipation. Then, he picked up the papers again and turned to the pages with the big figure. "This is the amount of money you required to start up this business?"

The three young men turned to look at each other. Then, the one who sat at the center straightened up his back and nodded. "Yes."

Lu Xun continued to stare at the figure for a few seconds longer. After a while, he stretched up his hand to his assistant. "Bei Yuan."

Bei Yuan quickly understood that his boss was asking for his checkbook. He watched as his boss wrote down the numbers before he slid the cheque across the table.

The moment the young men saw the numbers, their eyes and mouth turned wide.

"President Lu, are you sure this is the correct number?"

The corner of his lips curled up. Bei Yuan listened as his boss spoke a few words with the three young men before he quietly slid out from the room to settle the restaurant bills.

His steps halted as he walked past a corner. Bei Yuan thought that he saw a familiar figure staggered out of the female restroom. Before he got a clear look at the woman's face, a man with salt and pepper hair and a slightly protruding belly walked over to the woman.

The man seemed as if he was helping the woman to walk. However, Bei Yuan saw the way the man tried to touch the woman. It seemed very inappropriate and disgusting.

Fortunately, Bei Yuan saw that the woman had slapped the man's hand in time. It was at this time that he got a clear view of that woman's face.

His boss's words resurfaced in his mind. Bei Yuan returned to his private room and whispered a few words to his boss.

Lu Xun's expression changed when he heard his report. After pondering over the matter for a while, Lu Xun finally stood up and excused himself.

"Which way did you see her go?" Lu Xun asked.

Special Assistant Bei Yuan quickly take the lead to bring his boss towards the room. "I have checked with the waiter. It seemed that a production group was holding a gathering for their crews. The person who was with Miss Song is a well-known producer."

Lu Xun narrowed his eyes as he continued to listen to his assistant's briefing.

Wasn't that woman supposed to work for his studio in a few days? Why did she join up to another production group party?

Bei Yuan finally stopped in front of a private room. "President Lu, it's here." He helped to knock on the door and pushed the door open.

The noisy room turned silent as soon as the two people showed up at the door.

Lu Xun scanned the room but did not see the person he was looking for.

"Excuse me," Bei Yuan spoke. "We're looking for Miss Song Xing Xing, did anyone of you know where she is?" Seeing the puzzled look on their face, Bei Yuan then started to describe the woman's outfit and style.

This time, one of the crew had spoken, "Isn't that Bai Zhi's friend? She just left. It seemed that she had drunk a little too much and Producer Ye wanted to send her home."

Lu Xun turned around to look for that woman.

The moment he arrived at the lobby, Lu Xun quickly found the person he was looking for. At this time, the older man beside her was pulling at her arms. Seeing this scene, Lu Xun walked over and pulled the man's arms away from her.

Producer Ye turned around in anger. "Who are you?
