Watching Xia Shiwen change clothes one after another.
Lin Haoyu joked.
"I said, eldest lady, we just went to have a meal. We are not attending a dinner party. Is it necessary to be so grand?"
"What do you know? This is my respect for the boss."
Xia Shiwen ignored Lin Haoyu's teasing and was still preparing seriously.
Since I agreed to the dinner tonight.
Xia Shiwen kept tidying up and almost tried on all her dresses.
But still not satisfied.
Lin Haoyu was bored with waiting, so he started searching the Internet for the backgrounds of these three people.
I want to see why Xia Shiwen attaches so much importance to it.
You wouldn’t know it without searching, but it turns out that these three old gentlemen are the founders of the film academy after its reform.
It has a profound impact on the entire country's film and television industry.
But later on when I got older, I retired and only attended film school.
But as Xia Shiwen said, half of the current entertainment industry is the disciples and grandsons of these three people.
He is indeed a leader-like figure.
Chen Ming is also a student of these three.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ming called Lin Haoyu again.
"Haoyu, at six o'clock in the evening, Marriott Hotel, call me when you are almost there and I will go out to pick you up."
Lin Haoyu agreed.
I also started to clean myself up simply.
He has more respect for these three figures who are like giants in the film and television industry.
So I started shaving, washing, and tidying myself up.
But he just wore a simple shirt and trousers.
In the end, Xia Shiwen also followed Lin Haoyu's suggestion.
Wearing a simple and neat little dress, she also wore light makeup.
The two of them packed up and set off.
Meeting these three seniors for the first time, Lin Haoyu didn't want to be late.
Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the Marriott Hotel.
Because he received a call from Lin Haoyu in advance, Chen Ming waited for the two of them outside early.
I saw Lin Haoyu and Xia Shiwen getting off the car.
Chen Ming hurriedly greeted them, said a few polite words, and led the two of them to the hotel.
But it's not a Marriott hotel.
It's an inconspicuous little store next to the Marriott Hotel.
"Lao Li Farm Restaurant".
Although this restaurant is not big, there are quite a few seats inside.
And it's almost full.
As soon as I walked into the hall, I heard a lot of people.
Everyone was chatting while eating, it was so lively.
Several waiters kept shuttling between tables.
"Give way, hey, be careful."
"Please take a look at your food. It's ready."
"I'll give you the towel you asked for. If you need anything, call me."
Lin Haoyu and Xia Shiwen were attracted by the lively atmosphere here when they heard the enthusiastic voice of a waiter.
"You three, please come this way. The guests are already waiting for you inside."
After saying that, he bowed his body and guided the three of them to the private room.
After walking through the hall, it became a little quieter.
After walking to the innermost private room, the waiter stopped, knocked gently, and then pushed the door open.
Lin Haoyu and Xia Shiwen walked into the private room.
I saw three gray-haired old men standing up and looking in the direction of the door with smiles on their faces.
Seeing the door of the box being closed by the waiter, one of the old men spoke at this moment.
"These two must be Mr. Lin Haoyu and Miss Xia Shiwen."
Seeing these three seniors being so polite, Xia Shiwen was a little confused.
Then she became nervous, her face turned red all of a sudden, as if she was at a loss when she saw her idol for the first time.
Lin Haoyu was very calm and responded politely.
"You're welcome, three seniors. Junior Lin Haoyu, this is Xia Shiwen."
"Sit down, sit down, don't be restrained, let's eat and chat."
After the three old people sat down, Lin Haoyu, Xia Shiwen and Chen Ming sat down next.
Lin Haoyu noticed at this time that the three leaders not only looked very kind and approachable.
Even the clothes were very casual. One of them was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and it looked like he had been wearing it for a long time and it already fit him very well.
The other two were wearing a simple white T-shirt and black casual pants.
The other one was wearing a gray sports suit.
If he didn't know the identities of the three people, Lin Haoyu would think that they were no different from the old people he saw in the park every day.
After sitting down, the old man in Chinese tunic suit briefly introduced himself to Lin Haoyu.
My name is Chen Peidong, the old man in white T is called Liu Zhengfeng, and the old man in sportswear is named Zhang Xinyu.
The food on the table has been served. They are all simple farm dishes. The main course is a big pot of fish stew.
The three old men didn't say anything, but invited Lin Haoyu and Xia Shiwen to eat.
After three drinks, everyone was almost full.
Lin Haoyu has attended many dinner parties and dinner parties during this time.
This time it can be considered the most comfortable. I originally thought it was the Marriott Hotel.
According to the status of these three people, even Marriott is very reasonable.
But what surprised him was that the three old men came to such an inconspicuous small restaurant for dinner.
Seemingly seeing the doubt in Lin Haoyu's eyes, Mr. Chen Peidong explained.
"Comrade Haoyu, don't mind if I invite you to this small restaurant for dinner.
The three of us are practical people and think the food here is much more delicious than the Marriott Hotel next door.
We usually eat in the lobby, but this time we invited you to come and we were afraid you would find it too noisy, so we booked a private room."
Lin Haoyu didn't expect these three powerful figures to be so down-to-earth, and he respected them from the bottom of his heart.
"Senior, what are you talking about? I have attended so many dinner parties, and this is the most enjoyable one."
Lin Haoyu said it very sincerely. Every time he attended a dinner party, no matter how good the food was, he still couldn't get enough.
As soon as the table is served, the socializing and business exchanges begin.
That's why Lin Haoyu didn't want to attend the dinner.
Mr. Chen Peidong saw that Lin Haoyu had almost eaten, and then he said again.
"I invite you here this time mainly to express my gratitude.
We have all heard about Chen Ming. If it weren't for you, this bill might have been postponed indefinitely again as Zhang Heng wished."
"Given your status, why is it so difficult to implement a bill?"
Lin Haoyu was a little puzzled.
After hearing Lin Haoyu's question, Mr. Chen Peidong sighed.
"Hey, even though the three of us have some weight in the entertainment industry.
But this matter involves too much, and once the bill is implemented, many people will be affected.
Especially capital, without these little fresh meat to give them cover, it will be very inconvenient for them to launder money."
Mr. Chen Peidong paused for a moment before continuing.
“Last time, we almost had to implement it, but it was because several capitals jointly put pressure on us that the bill was suppressed.”
Lin Haoyu saw the helplessness on Mr. Chen Peidong's face and asked.
"Then this time..."
Before Lin Haoyu finished speaking, Mr. Chen Peidong burst into laughter.
"It's actually difficult to implement this time, but thanks to you, we have this thank you banquet today."
