Out of control and sinking

Chapter 50 Rongcheng's Difficulties (Part 1)

Bai Yi smiled, looking at the beautiful and pure-looking girl in front of him, his gaze gentle: "Hmm, how have you been lately?"

Jiang Ruan complained, "I'm so busy, every day is either shooting commercials or doing announcements."

Bai Yi laughed heartily: "No matter how important work is, you still have to take care of your health."

"You're still young. Don't end up like me with gastroenteritis, where you can't eat whatever you want."

Jiang Ruan said, "I know."

The two seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

After the last scandal, everyone knows that Bai Yi and Jiang Ruan are good friends. Besides, this is a public place, and avoiding suspicion will only make people think there is something going on.

Why not just chat openly and honestly? After all, everyone has a few good friends.

The fact that you can become good friends with a movie star is enough to make the other artists in the private room envious.

It can only be said that Jiang Ruan is very lucky; she has had a smooth journey since entering the entertainment industry.

After all, not everyone can have such luck.

Li Xin, on the other hand, sat alone, cold and lonely.

It's like a joke.

With such a big scandal going on lately, who would dare to get close to her? They might just get themselves into trouble.

The celebrities were all laughing at her behind her back.

Anyone online saying Li Xin and Bai Yi have great chemistry is definitely blind.

Bai Yi hasn't paid any attention to Li Xin since he came in, not even giving her a glance.

Clearly a stranger.

Where did this sense of chemistry come from?

It's probably just the fans' imagination.

Instead, he chatted enthusiastically with Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan has been incredibly popular lately, and many celebrities are envious and want to curry favor with her, so they've all gone over to chat with her.

Jiang Ruan noticed it, but didn't say anything. The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, and with fame comes trouble.

Besides, she had no conflict with them, so she smiled and explained to Bai Yi what they were acting in. She gave him face, and Bai Yi naturally gave her face in return.

They chatted happily about their time on set.

Li Xin watched, her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred, but she hadn't forgotten what her purpose was tonight.

Looking at the tightly closed door, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

A cruel smile played on Li Xin's lips.

Everyone was having a great time chatting.

At that moment, the door to the private room was pushed open by the waiter, and the director walked in with a forced smile and a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean-style buzz cut.

Knowing that this was the so-called important person tonight, everyone fell silent.

"Let me introduce you all. This is Director Rong Cheng of the Beijing Municipal Finance Bureau," the director said solemnly.

Hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar.

Everyone knew there was a high-ranking official coming tonight, but no one expected there would also be a bureau chief. They couldn't help but bow and greet him: "Hello, Director Rong."

Bai Yi nodded: "Director Rong."

Rong Cheng nodded: "Hello everyone."

Seeing that they all bowed their heads to Rong Cheng, Li Xin felt extremely smug.

Although this old man is old and ugly, he has real power and money.

In any case, it's always good to have a big tree to shelter under.

Everyone was standing.

Rong Cheng glanced around and smiled, "Everyone, don't be shy, just treat this as a casual meal. Please sit down."

The director arranged for Rong Cheng to sit in the main seat.

His manners were extremely respectful.

Nonsense, this is the bureau chief.

Would he dare to be disrespectful?

Rong Cheng's gaze lingered on Li Xin for a few seconds. Li Xin felt disgusted, but lowered her head shyly.

In Rong Cheng's eyes, she appeared even more petite and shy.

This suits Rongcheng's taste even better.

Soon, the dishes began to be served.

But everyone who's gathered here knows deep down that it's not really for the food.

It was simply for the benefit of the production team and their own interests.

The chopsticks weren't touched at all.

The director smiled and introduced to Rong Cheng: "Director Rong, this is Bai Yi. He is the male lead of our crew and a very talented actor."

Rong Cheng looked over: "I know Bai Yi, the famous movie star, right?"

Bai Yi laughed and said, "I dare not accept such praise; it's all just empty fame."

As he spoke, Bai Yi picked up his glass and poured himself a full glass of baijiu: "Director Rong, I'd like to toast you."

Rongcheng obliged and drank it.

Next up was Jiang Ruan. After the director finished introducing her, Jiang Ruan picked up her wine glass and poured herself a full glass.

Jiang Ruan stood up, her demeanor elegant and poised, a smile playing on her lips: "Director Rong, I'd like to propose a toast to you."

After saying that, he was about to drink.

Then Rong Cheng's displeased voice rang out.

"I have a temper; I don't drink just anyone's wine."

Let me tell you something.

Rong Yi changed his name to Rong Cheng.

Suddenly realized I've bumped into Bai Yi, haha! I'll revise the previous part too, mwah!
