After the poor daughter was exposed: bigwigs from all walks of life went crazy
Chapter 271 Stars and Capital Tycoons
The crowd at the restaurant entrance has not yet dispersed, but fortunately the sound insulation here is good and does not affect the dining atmosphere.
After the bumpy ride in the morning, everyone was already hungry. When they saw Shen Shu picking up his chopsticks, they all stopped being polite.
The dishes on the table are ordinary family banquet series, with all kinds of cold and hot dishes. The presentation and color matching are more like the ultimate aesthetic feast.
There are tofu with caviar, raw marinated crab, fried shrimp with black truffle, steamed white shrimp with fresh pepper, braised pork with bamboo abalone, and a bowl of crab meat and shark fin soup for each person.
Because Shen Shu and Gu Xingye were both about to have a car race, they needed to strictly control their food intake and nutritional balance to reduce their body fat percentage, so they did not touch most of the high-fat dishes.
Xia Siyu knew that Gu Xingye was a Formula One racing driver so she was not surprised by this, but she didn't understand why Shen Shu also ate like this.
"I'm losing weight, don't worry about me."
Xia Siyu and Du Mengyun still don't know about Shen Shu's identity as a racing driver. It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but she hasn't encountered a suitable opportunity to say it.
She had no choice but to find a not-too-lame reason to cover up Xia Siyu's doubts.
It was the first time since the last gathering at Gu Xingye’s house that everyone got together so neatly and everyone was in a good mood.
Just as Jin Yuhao was telling everyone interesting stories with great emotion, the door of the box was suddenly knocked from outside, and the joyful atmosphere in the room came to an abrupt end.
"Mom, let's go back. It's not appropriate to come to your house and make a toast like this."
Meng Yixuan's face was pale, and she grabbed her mother's arms tightly with both hands, trying to stop her from knocking on the door.
Meng Hong glared at her fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "What do you know, you little bitch! He's the son of the provincial party secretary. If you can curry favor with him, would you still worry about not having connections?!"
"I'm doing this for your own good. If it wasn't for your career as a star, would I have divorced your father and quit my stable job to focus on being your agent?!"
"When you get in, you don't have to say anything. Just put on a smile and have a couple of drinks. Don't mess it up. If someone likes you, you'll be a big shot in the arm! Why would you want to be in the entertainment industry? Being an official's wife is so easy."
Meng Hong tore Meng Yixuan's arm away and held the tray steadily, fearing that the wine and cups inside would fall.
The familiar feeling of suffocation came over her, and Meng Yixuan felt dizzy. Some dark fragments of memory flooded out like a tide, making her almost unable to stand.
Meng Hong ignored it and continued to knock on the door of the box.
Qin Qiwei, who was standing in the blind spot, crossed her arms and watched the scene with a gloating look on her face.
She tidied up her appearance, ready to go in and save the scene later.
Soon the door of the box was opened from the inside, and the person who opened it was Xia Siyu, who was closest to the door.
She looked at the strange middle-aged woman in front of her with a confused look on her face, "Auntie, may I ask you..."
Before she could finish her words, Meng Hong flexibly turned sideways and walked directly into the box. This action made people look confused.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, classmate."
Meng Yixuan pursed her lips, took two steps forward and stood in front of Xia Siyu.
After seeing clearly who was standing in front of her, Xia Siyu was stunned for a moment.
"You...you are the big star Meng Yixuan!"
Meng Yixuan sighed, lowered his eyes tiredly, and simply agreed.
She followed Xia Siyu around the screen and walked to the dining area.
As she expected, Meng Hong had already poured the wine and was standing next to Lu Bai, flattering him in a very vulgar way.
"Oh my, Secretary Lu's son is really handsome and talented!"
Lu Bai looked at the middle-aged woman who suddenly broke in front of him with a confused look on his face, and quickly searched his memory in an attempt to find the identity of this person.
His father was a high-ranking official with extensive social connections, so he was accustomed to people suddenly showing up to toast him.
But the strange thing is that he has no impression of this person at all.
Shen Shu, Jin Yuhao and others also looked at the play in confusion, not understanding what was going on.
It was not until Meng Yixuan appeared that they realized what was going on.
"You must have heard of Meng Yixuan! She just starred in Director Zhang's big-budget movie last year and is a big star in the entertainment industry!"
"I'm her manager and her mother. I heard you were having dinner here, so I wanted to come and visit you."
"I'll let Yixian toast you two glasses of wine, and we can be considered acquainted! You can add each other's contact information and make friends later!"
The smile on Meng Hong's face became more and more flattering, but Meng Yixuan's expression became more and more embarrassed.
Almost all the people at this table were her peers, but Meng Hong used honorifics to address Lu Bai and interrupted their dinner so rashly...
She lowered her head in shame, a deep feeling of powerlessness spreading throughout her limbs.
Chu Qingqing, Jin Yuhao and others were people who had seen the world through their parents, so when they saw Meng Yixuan, a well-known star, they behaved quite calmly.
Shen Shu sat in his seat as steady as a rock, picked up the celadon cup and took two sips of warm water, watching the scene calmly.
The beautifully packaged celebrities in the entertainment industry have always been admired by everyone, and they cause cheers and excitement wherever they go.
But behind this glamour, there are many sorrows that ordinary people are unaware of.
If you have a strong family background or someone to support you, that would be fine, as you would suffer less unnecessary hardships.
But if you are a star who has risen from the bottom, then none of them is a simple person, and what they have experienced is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
The first step for them to enter the circle is to learn to please the capitalists.
No matter how big a star is, he or she has to keep a low profile in front of the absolute capital and political bigwigs, and be humble and cautious in looking at people's faces.
Everyone has to give way to capital and bigwigs.
As Lu Bai listened to Meng Hong's words, his handsome brows slowly frowned.
He was brought up with strict family education and was very careful about his reputation. He never flaunted his status as the son of an official, for fear of causing trouble for his father.
He had always understood the rules of this circle, but never violated them. Meng Hong's move had already touched Lu Bai's warning line.
"Yixian, why are you standing there like an idiot? Come and toast Master Lu!"
Meng Hong keenly noticed that Lu Bai was in a bad mood, and thought it was Meng Yixuan's problem, so she hurriedly urged him.
Looking at this scene, Shen Shu had already seen through Meng Yixuan's situation.
Although she is already a well-known young actress in the circle, this journey does not seem to be what she wants. It seems more like Meng Hong wants to use her daughter to climb up the upper class.
The thought of having a manager and mother like this is suffocating.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a slim and beautiful figure suddenly pushed open the door of the box and walked in.
