When Li Ying went to the backstage room, laughter was heard inside. She knocked on the door and went in. She found that Lan Jingyu and Gong Zheng were there, as well as several senior executives from Huanyu who had helped her with her homework before.
Lan Jingyu was leaning on the sofa with a relaxed expression. When he heard the movement, he looked in her direction and said, "It's Director Li."
Li Ying was a little aggrieved for him, but when she heard him teasing her, she raised the corner of her mouth and said, "It's good to know. What's going on? Mr. Li doesn't deserve your getting up to say hello?"
Everyone laughs.
Before Lan Jingyu could speak, Gong Zheng led the crowd to cheer and said in unison, "Hello, Director Li——"
Li Ying smiled, clasping her hands behind her back, a little embarrassed, "You're welcome."
Lan Jingyu couldn't help laughing when he heard her serious politeness.
"Your score is too big. We've already said hello, but you don't even get up?" Gong Zheng kicked him.
Lan Jingyu didn't move. Instead, he leaned against the armrest of the sofa and said, "I can be the same as you. I'm getting along with Director Li."
He raised his eyes and looked at Li Ying with a smile in his eyes, "Yes, Director Li."
Everyone: "Hey——"
Li Ying bit her mouth and said, "It's just so-so."
"Have you heard, it's just average." Gong Zheng laughed at Lan Jingyu.
Lan Jingyu smiled and said nothing.
Li Ying checked the time and made an appointment with them, "Do you have any plans for the evening?"
Gong Zheng said: "I originally planned to go have a meal."
Li Ying raised her hand, "My treat!"
"As soon as Li Dong took office, he planned to win over forces?" Lan Jingyu said.
"No." Li Ying snorted at him and smiled at everyone: "I'll treat you to dinner. Thank you for your hard work during this time. You also helped me with my homework before. I haven't thanked you properly yet."
Everyone laughed and joked that it was just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about.
Gong Zheng came out to speak: "Let's all go. Let's follow Mr. Lan. We will be hungry for nine meals in three days. It's not easy for the little princess to treat us. Don't miss the opportunity to eat."
Li Ying burst out laughing, glanced at Lan Jingyu, and said to Gong Zheng: "He abuses you like this?"
"Isn't that right? I didn't even see meat in my meals the past few days."
"If there's some oil in the soup, it's considered meaty."
"What, oil? There is rice in the porridge this morning because Mr. Lan had bloodletting today."
They were all sharp-tongued and making noise together, and the atmosphere quickly became tense.
Li Ying laughed so happily.
Lan Jingyu listened to a group of people talking nonsense and said with a smile on his face: "My little money is not for you to eat."
"What's that for?" Gong Zheng asked.
Lan Jingyu looked at Li Ying and said calmly: "Old woman, I am."
There was a roar.
Li Ying felt warm behind her ears. She glanced at him and cleared her throat, "Forget it, don't count on him anymore. You have to follow me when eating, drinking and having fun."
She said: "I booked a red room, and everyone will come at six o'clock in the evening."
Everyone gave me face and responded accordingly.
The press conference is over, and there is still a two-hour banquet. As the protagonist, Li Ying cannot escape.
She went out to deal with it, paid a visit to the pier, listened to a bunch of half-truths and half-false words of encouragement, and felt extremely tired.
I took the time to come out of the venue, and it was still dark outside.
She didn't go with Lan Jingyu. There were too many reporters around. If she was photographed, she would be doomed.
She drove to the Red House by herself. Wang Fuxue had recently entered the core of the family business and was not often in the Red House, so she didn't have to worry about meeting each other. Li Ying asked for a large box for twenty people, opened the door, and was noisy.
