Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 24 Making a fool of oneself

Zhou Jie had just freed up his hands, and he didn't give the two a chance to breathe, and started to catch rabbits together.

"Yapeng, Xiaolu, there are only three of us male actors at this table. Let's toast to Director Zhang together!"

Lu Kuan narrowed his eyes and pretended to avoid the fight: "No, no, take a break. I just drank too much in one go and I can't take it anymore."

Li Yapeng was so drunk that he could hardly control himself. He wanted to find a way to change the subject, but when he saw that Lu Kuan was slightly drunk, he thought that the young man must be at the end of his strength.

"Xiaolu, we'll toast with you. Qinqin, quickly pour him some wine. How can a man say no?"

Jiang Qinqin raised her eyebrows: "Are you guys going to get him drunk? Come, I'll drink for him!"

The girls in the mountain city are generous and magnanimous, which is evident from this.

"Hey, I'll do it myself!" Lu Kuan did this to lure the snake out of its hole, otherwise Li Yapeng, who looked like a coward, would not drink with him again, and how could he let Sister Jiang, who was unaware of the situation, ruin things.

He stood up with his sleepy eyes squinting. "Brothers, we're just drinking with three-liang cups for fun, but can't we have a deeper cup to toast the leader?"

After saying that, he walked over to the two of them, poured out the tea in the glass, which had a capacity of 5 or 6 taels, and filled it all with white wine.

"Good!" Ju Jueliang clapped his hands in praise. He was the Hong Konger at the table and had the worst alcohol tolerance. If anyone didn't drink with him, he would make trouble.

After three rounds of drinks, the whole audience became restless. Seeing that there was something exciting to watch, they all came over.

No matter how dumb Li Yapeng was, he could see that this guy was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. He looked at him provocatively with an evasive look, and it was difficult to avoid this glass of wine.

"Haha, thank you all, I wish 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' a huge hit!"

Zhang Jizhong was very considerate and filled his 5-liang cup. He had a high status and hardly opened his mouth that night.

The four of them drank it all in one gulp. Li Yapeng was staggering and struggling to hold on. His mind was very clear, but his stomach was churning and he felt very uncomfortable!

This is what it means to have volume but no explosive power.

He hurriedly took Zhou Xun's teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and stuffed two pieces of fat meat into his stomach. He was just about to tease Lu Kuan in response to his provocation.

The little Taoist priest walked back to his seat leisurely. He stopped when passing by Zhou Xun and Li Yapeng, and put his hand on Zhou Xun's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey, Xun'er, you've put on the pendant I gave you. It's really beautiful, right, Sister Jiang?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Xun. She was wearing a brown turtleneck sweater today, and the heart-shaped pendant was stuck right between her breasts, shining brightly under the light.

"You're even trying to claim some credit. Do you want me to toast you, too?"

Being stared at by so many people, even her generous and free-spirited personality felt a little embarrassed, not knowing that she had fallen into Boss Lu's trap.

Li Yapeng on the side was still trying hard to suppress the alcohol rising in his stomach. He drank a pound of wine in a short period of time, and he could not bear it as his leg injury had just recovered.

At this time, seeing his girlfriend joking with Lu Kuan with a rosy face, everyone at the table started to make fun of her in a good-natured manner.

No one would associate a popular actress like Zhou Xun with the penniless Lu Kuan, as the gap in their status in the circle is too huge.

Only Brother Jing, who felt that he was cuckolded, was burning with jealousy when he saw the pretty Huang Rong whispering sweetly.

He was worried that the fate of the green man who would always be green would happen to him. Looking at the scene that looked like he was being raped, he could no longer control himself. With the influence of alcohol, he wanted to angrily shout and slap the little Taoist's hand away.

"You... wow... ugh..."

The yellow and white stuff gushed out, staining Zhou Xun's lower body all over. Lu Kuan, the instigator standing next to him, couldn't avoid it in time, and the white stain on his leather shoes was disgusting.

Damn it, why are you drinking and eating so many peanuts!
There was a dead silence for a few seconds, and then Lu Kuan's kind voice came to the rescue: "Quick! Help him up, Brother Yapeng is drunk, don't hurt your leg again!"

The crew rushed over, all trying to hold back their laughter, but with the intention of watching the show, they stepped forward to help. Some took tissues, some gave him water to rinse his mouth...

Li Yapeng closed his eyes and pretended to be drunk, feeling hopeless. He knew it was better not to be sober at this time, so he just let them do whatever they wanted.

Zhang Jizhong spoke to ease the awkwardness: "Haha, it's okay, Yapeng has been under a lot of pressure recently, and this is a relief."

"Everyone, please take care of each other and stay safe at night!"

After saying this, he left the table with his teacup, and calmly walked to the door with Ju Jueliang and Meng Fanyao to get into the car.

"Hahahahahaha!"

The three directors burst into laughter, which made everyone in the room feel so embarrassed that they almost couldn't hold it in.

"This kid is so bad!" This was Zhang Jizhong's final evaluation of Lu Kuan after the meal.

"How can you be so mean!"

Jiang Qinqin supported Lu Kuan, whose steps were unsteady, and walked into the room. She smiled angrily and punched the little Taoist priest.

The moonlight was pouring down, it was late at night and everyone was asleep. The hotel was located in the Taihu Lake Scenic Area, so there was no worry of being disturbed.

"This is called striking the first blow to prevent a hundred blows from coming."

Lu Kuan rinsed his mouth in the bathroom: "Didn't you see Zhou Jie was staring at me? If I don't take the initiative, I'll be surrounded by them tonight."

"You've been a Taoist priest for over ten years, where did you learn all these crooked ideas?"

Jiang Qinqin really wanted to cut his head open. Apart from those sudden predictions and divinations at critical moments, he was too at ease in other situations.

"I dreamed about it."

"Tsk, forget it."

Jiang Qinqin handed her a tissue to wipe her mouth, then said worriedly, "But don't offend people easily in the future. You've just started in the industry, so you should make friends wherever you can."

Then, as if remembering something, her eyebrows raised: "And that 100 million you invested in the underground movie, get it back immediately!"

Lu Kuan sighed inwardly, thinking that Sister Jiang was treating him like her little lover.

But I have feelings for you, but you have no intention...

Reborn in 2001, his perspective on the world is very different from that of people today.

Take investing in "Blind Well" for example. A rational person would not do such a thing.

He originally thought that he and Sister Jiang were just a fleeting romance on the set, but he didn’t expect that…

Can you imagine the boss of a public relations company, who knows the secrets of countless big scandals, touching the feelings of the entertainment industry?

He is just a fun-loving guy who follows the three no principles.

Faced with Sister Jiang's gentleness and kindness, he could only smile indifferently and perfunctorily say, "Let's wait and see."

He sighed slowly, his eyes drifting towards the quiet window.

Jiang Qinqin looked at him unfriendly, but she didn't know what position she had to make more demands. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.
