Chapter 153 The reception banquet
When the three of them arrived at the private room of the Dihao Hotel, everyone else had already arrived. There were still three seats left for the three of them at Tang Yichen's table. There were three tables in total for the welcoming banquet, and all of them were children from the original compound. Shen Shuyi was much older than them and had been a big sister in the past, taking them out to play. So every time she came back, everyone would have a welcoming banquet and get together.
Usually Tang Yichen is the one who organizes the gathering, and everyone will make time to attend.
When Shen Shuyi was 20 years old, she followed her father and mother to settle abroad. In fact, she has only come back three or four times in these years, basically once every three to five years. The length of time she stays each time is uncertain, sometimes long and sometimes short. Her life is currently smooth sailing. She is loved by her parents. Although they are not the richest among them, they are enough to support her to do what she wants, so she has always lived a willful and free life.
The more such a person is, the smoother their life path will be. If she wants to act in a movie, she will go to act, and she will win awards as soon as she starts acting and reach the top. If she wants to retire from the entertainment industry to paint, she will learn painting and even hold a personal exhibition. If she wants to travel, she will travel around the world, to Iceland, Antarctica, and the desert.
Everyone thinks that Shen Shuyi is the person who lives the most selfishly and freely, and no one else can do that.
After Shen Shuyi came, the atmosphere immediately became lively. She is a person with very high emotional intelligence and is good at talking to others. Everyone started eating and drinking, chatting about recent situations, and discussing cooperation.
Tang Yichen sat on Shen Shuyi's right. He had been drinking in silence since she came in and greeted him. Shen Shuyi pointed at Tang Yichen and asked Qin Hao and the others beside him, "What's wrong with him?"
Qin Hao and Ji Fengfan didn't dare to speak. Shen Shuyi pointed at Lu Yan and said, "Xiao Wu, you speak."
Lu Yan thought about it for a while, and then whispered, "My eldest brother is divorced."
Shen Shuyi was also stunned for a moment, "He got married and divorced, and you guys are still single? Oh, no, Xiaofan has a girlfriend, right?"
Everyone at the table pursed their lips and dared not respond. Tang Yichen glanced at her, then raised his glass of red wine and drank it.
The place became lively again when someone came over to toast.
Qin Qing, Tang Wan'er and Xiao Junhan were sitting at the next table. When Shen Shuyi went abroad, they were only six or seven years old, and their impression of her remained that of a very beautiful older sister. Later, when Shen Shuyi returned to China, they met her several times, and it was like the younger generation looking at the elders. They were never very familiar with each other, but just had a feeling of respect.
After all, Shen Shuyi is a goddess-level figure in their circle and a legendary figure in everyone's mind.
Qin Qing lowered his head and whispered to Tang Wan'er, "Sister Shuyi is really too powerful. Big brother is completely suppressed by her."
"Yeah, I've never seen anyone who dares to confront Big Brother like this." Tang Wan'er said as she looked over, with surprise and admiration in the eyes of the two little girls.
Xiao Junhan also turned his head and looked over, and saw Shen Shuyi lowering her head and saying something in Ji Fengfan's ear with a shy look on her face. He frowned slightly, feeling a little strange, but also felt that it was impossible. Sister Shuyi was so much older than them, how could it be possible?
And the last time I came back, I brought my boyfriend with me.
Fourth brother also has a girlfriend.
The welcoming banquet was almost coming to an end, and many people who had drunk too much simply booked rooms in the hotel.
Tang Yichen drank a lot, so Qin Hao and Lu Yan helped him to get a room to rest.
Qin Qing also drank, but not much. She was originally planning to go to the bathroom, but she saw Shen Shuyi and Ji Fengfan go to the large platform on the banquet hall floor one after another. The little bit of alcohol she had drunk sobered her up instantly, and she followed them to the platform.
Seeing two people sitting face to face on chairs on the terrace and ordering two cocktails, Qin Qing put on the hood of his coat, covering his face, and sat down on the chair behind them from the other side.
As soon as I sat down, I heard Shen Shuyi's voice.
"Do you really have a girlfriend?" Shen Shuyi asked jokingly.
Then came Ji Fengfan's voice, a low "hmm".
Shen Shuyi paused while holding the wine glass, then put it down and said, "Why don't you bring it out to meet everyone today?"
"She's working and doesn't have time." Ji Fengfan answered and then asked, "Sister Shuyi, is there anything else? If nothing else, let's go back."
Shen Shuyi laughed at herself, "Didn't you dislike calling me sister before? Now..."
"You are sensible now. You were not sensible before. Please forgive me, Sister Shuyi." Ji Fengfan interrupted her.
"Okay, I plan to stay for a while this time I come back, and I plan to take on a big domestic production. Can you help me take a look? I heard that you are in charge of "Beauty Taken" and you are currently auditioning for the leading female role. I am quite interested." Shen Shuyi quickly adjusted his mood and said directly.
Ji Fengfan frowned, "The auditions are over, and the director has already chosen a candidate. I'm afraid it will be difficult to change it." His voice unconsciously became a little colder.
Qianqian said that Yang Manni told her that she had a good chance of getting the female lead, which meant that Ning You had already decided on her for the leading female role. If it were someone else, he might have made this exception, but since Ning You had decided on Qianqian, it was impossible for him to go to Ning You for Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi didn't expect to be rejected by Ji Fengfan. She raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh, really? The list hasn't been officially announced yet, so anything is possible, right? I'm not asking you to do anything, so why are you so serious and nervous? Or... is there someone you care about on the list?" Shen Shuyi is very smart and knows Ji Fengfan well. She guessed it right away. She looked at the change in Ji Fengfan's expression, smiled and continued, "How about this, I won't embarrass you, just help me arrange an audition, I believe the director is not blind."
This is her, the Shen Shuyi who is always confident and radiant, and always believes that there is nothing she cannot accomplish.
Ji Fengfan looked at her, pursed his lips, and finally nodded, "Okay."
After the two left, Qin Qing was still sitting there, with too much information in her mind. She always felt that Sister Shuyi's attitude towards Fourth Brother was a little... ambiguous...
Not sure if it was her illusion, but the two of them talking about the filming of the movie seemed quite normal. She shook her head, thinking that she must have drunk too much and actually followed Sister Shuyi and Fourth Brother. She patted her cheek, stood up and hurried to the bathroom. After coming back, she subconsciously looked in the direction of Shen Shuyi and Ji Fengfan, and it seemed quite normal again. Sister Shuyi and her brother were more familiar with them.
"Where have you been?" Xiao Junhan asked behind her, scaring her.
Qin Qing patted her chest and said, "Why are you so scary?" Xiao Junhan looked in the direction she was looking, and saw where Ji Fengfan and Shen Shuyi were sitting.
"You also think there's something wrong with them?"
Qin Qing was stunned, and pulled Xiao Junhan to ask, "What do you mean?"
