You Are Brighter Than Stars - C253

Chapter 253 – Lunch

My voice echoed in the empty room.

I buried my face in the covers, trying to clear my head.

Every time I encounter a mild situation, I will lose my sanity.

The gentleness of this man is too dangerous for me. If possible, I hope that I won’t encounter any gentleness in the future.

But very quickly, this thought of mine was defeated by reality.

After a week on the set, the director invited us all to a dinner party.

“Lin Xiang, there will be a big shot here tonight. If he can see your talent, and if she’s willing to invest in you in the future, you will definitely become very popular.” On the way, the director kept talking about this possible big shot in my ear.

To put it bluntly, even he felt some admiration for this great character. This great character was one of his young idols.

At that time, a thought flashed through my mind. How could it be him? There shouldn’t be any interaction between him and me.

“Lin Xiang, I will recommend you to toast later. Don’t be too pedantic, you have to be flexible in this kind of situation.”

I knew that the director was right. Moreover, he didn’t want me to do those improper things. He just wanted me to know how to liven up the atmosphere.

In this circle, if you want to climb up, you need to have your own connections and know how to be friends with other people. Lin Jia has also told me this before, and not only once.

Lin Jia felt that I shouldn’t refuse to interact with these people just because of their appearance. After all, in the future, these people will all be part of the circle. I want to learn how to use my advantages, and it’s best if both men and women eat it.

These few days, I have been continuously studying. Just as Lin Jia had said, although it wasn’t very successful, there were already some results.

“Lin Jia, you’re here! Come and play with me!”

“Yeah, yeah, we’ve been waiting for you for a while, you busy person.”

“There are no main characters today, only the few of us. We must have a good time.”

The moment Lin Jia and the director entered the room, the ladies in the room immediately waved at me passionately. Putting aside whether they did it on purpose or not, it was much better than when I first entered the set.

Maybe they won’t come out when I’m in trouble, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t ask them to come forward.

If they really are my good friends, I also don’t want them to stand out.

“Mm. Alright.” I replied indifferently and found an empty seat to sit on.

“Everyone, relax tonight. There isn’t any director here, we’re all friends. If there’s any gossip or problems, or if there’s any conflicts, this might be an opportunity. You guys play first, I’ll go out and pick someone up.” As he spoke, the director took out his mobile phone as if someone had called him.

I only took a glance, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it.

“Lin Xiang, let’s play with the truth and take a big risk. Hehehe, you won the last time Banshou was dug, but this time, it all depends on luck.”

Someone suddenly suggested.

“Mhmm, I also want to play. We’ve known each other for so long, and we haven’t really gotten to know each other yet. We can take this opportunity to get to know each other better.”

“True.”

Both were sounds of agreement, so it wasn’t good for me to interrupt them and be the one who didn’t understand the mood.

Although I was the one who didn’t know how to react, I’ve grown quite a bit recently.

“Alright, let’s all play.”

I laughed.

Lin Jia, who was at the side, also gave me a look of praise, but because of my body, I could not drink, so Lin Jia stood out.

“Lin Xiang is not allowed to drink alcohol, so if there’s any punishment for drinking wine, I, as her manager and assistant, will definitely help her. Her condition does not allow it, so please do not mind it.”

“That’s a natural broker, we all know that.” Everyone couldn’t help but think of the scene from two days ago where Lin Xiang was sent to the emergency ward of the hospital because she was stained with a little bit of alcohol.

They did not dare to do that, because if something really happened to Lin Xiang, all of them would be held responsible.

Furthermore, they knew that Lin Xiang was the President Bo’s ex-wife. According to the rumors, the divorce was brought up by Lin Xiang at the time, and if the President Bo still had any old feelings for Lin Xiang, they wouldn’t feel good. After all, that person was the President Bo, a man who had the title of King of Hell for the past two years.

Someone said that at a banquet two years ago, because someone said something bad about President Bo’s ex-wife, the boss’ company went bankrupt the next day, so they would rather offend the king of hell than the king of living hell. Not only did they delay the failure of that family, it was also said that in the end, the boss’s son and wife got together, causing the boss to die from anger.

As for whether it was done by the President Bo, everyone had their guesses, but they did not have any evidence.

However, no matter what, they could not afford to provoke such a thing. Furthermore, after hearing Zhang Mancha say that she would be too slow, the reason why no one dared to say anything about Lin Xiang and Zhao Xiyan’s divorce was because of that incident which had happened recently.

Even Zhang Mancha did not dare to retaliate easily, let alone the rest of them. Now that Lin Xiang was willing to give them face, they naturally had to be tactful.

There were still rumors in the circle that the person coming tonight was President Bo, specially here for his ex-wife Lin Xiang. Until now, he still hadn’t put her down.

As for whether it was true or not, they would know when they saw the person who came tonight.

Everyone has their own little nine and nine. I can guess, but I don’t know if it’s related to me.

At the moment, I was staring at the spinning bottle in front of me, hoping that it wasn’t aimed at me.

To be honest, I’m more afraid of playing this kind of game.

What if they asked me something I didn’t want to face?

It will be awkward when the time comes.

Am I really going to answer, or is it perfunctory?

According to my personality, I don’t want to fake it, but if I do, won’t it make the situation more awkward?

Actually, I’m not afraid of anything at all. What I’m worried about the most is the topic of gentleness.

Just as I was thinking, cheers sounded out from the surroundings. I lowered my head to look, only to realize that the opening of the bottle was facing me. I was surrounded by sparkling eyes that had a shrewd light in them.

I am straightforward. This time, I am afraid that I won’t be able to avoid these people’s problems. I only hope that they don’t make things too difficult for me. Otherwise, I am afraid that the banquet tonight will lose its original fun because of me.

I’m not a good person. I might ruin the party for my own good.

“Wait a minute, I’ll ask you this question. You can ask it again later, it just happens to start with me clockwise.”

A girl suddenly raised her hand with a look of certainty on her face.

Actually, I am rather familiar with this girl. It could even be said that I met her five years ago. However, is she raising her hand for my own good, or is she preparing to make a move against me?

“I also want to ask, why did I let you start with the first question?” The surrounding people didn’t have the same opinion and weren’t willing to let this girl ask about it. Everyone of them seemed to be very concerned about my matters from the expressions on their faces.

Since when did I become someone who was cared about me?

But now, I was like an outsider watching the girls argue over questions. I was happy that the fire wasn’t going to burn my body.

“Lin Xiang, who do you think is most suitable for me?” I was feeling proud, but who would have thought that someone in the crowd would look at me and pull me into the whirlpool again.

The corner of my mouth twitched. Actually, they could have just discussed this matter themselves. Why would they ask me? What’s more, I’m a stranger to their names.

“I’m sure I can’t point out who asked the right question. I think you should either use scissors, stone cloth, or the back of your hand to decide. That’s the most fair way. I’m here anyway, so I won’t run.”

I’ll be able to ask questions then.

“That’s right, let’s palm the back of our hands, that’s only fair, why do we have to ask Lin Xiang, come.”

Someone impatiently said.
