The actors and crew who arrived in Hengdian first prepared a dinner.

It's like connecting with each other emotionally.

The director we collaborated with this time was a female director. Jiang Mian heard that she was easy-going but equally serious when it came to work.

She read the director's works in advance to get to know each other.

It was seven o'clock in the evening when the notice was sent to the group.

Jiang Mian put on makeup before going to the appointment.

Jiang Mian and the director had met several times before when they were discussing the details of cooperation.

Not a stranger either.

When she arrived, Ling He had already arrived, and the empty seat next to him was obviously reserved for him, the heroine.

The two said hello.

The director's name is Mingxia, who is also a well-known writer.

Seeing that everyone was here, Mingxia said, “It's time to serve. Let's eat."

"Wish us a good start!"

"Cheers, cheers!"

"cheers!"

The atmosphere quickly became warm and everyone chatted about their own things.

Mingxia tilted her head and said, "Mianmian, how do you read the script?"

Jiang Mian put down his chopsticks, "I just wanted to chat with you. Regarding Jiuli's changes in the later stage, there is a section in the script where she is not..."

Ling He used a few chopsticks and lowered his head while holding his cell phone. Others would understand and not disturb him.

He opened WeChat.

Ling He: [Did Bella take a bath? 】

Bella is a dog raised by Linghe's family and is now fostered at Zhao Xinxin's home.

Zhao Xinxin: [Wash it. 】

Ling He: [Don’t feed him too much dog food]

Zhao Xinxin: [Yeah]

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Xinxin's cold attitude.

Linghe: [? 】

Zhao Xinxin: [What are you doing! 】

Ling He: [Nothing else to say? 】

Zhao Xinxin: [No! 】

After sending this message, there was no reply from the other end.

Zhao Xinxin held the phone and waited for a few minutes, convinced that the man would not reply to her.

She curled her lips and said, "Cheapskate!"

Bella came back from outside after being walked by the servant and rushed into her arms.

Zhao Xinxin sat down on the carpet and hugged her neck, "Good Bella! Give me a kiss for my sister! Do you miss your master?"

Bella stuck out her tongue and licked the side of her face, then barked.

Zhao Xinxin nodded, "That's what I thought. Okay Bella, let's make a video call to your master."

Bella is a Samoyed dog with a very healing smile. She squats aside and waits for Zhao Xinxin to call.

She made a video call to Ling He.

The cell phone in his hand vibrated. Ling He glanced down and then hung up.

"Smelly Linghe! You didn't answer my call!" Zhao Xinxin held the phone in her hands with an angry look on her face.

Her phone buzzed twice and she clicked on WeChat.

Ling He: [The crew is having a dinner together. It’s inconvenient. I’ll call you back to the hotel. 】

Zhao Xinxin snorted softly.

As if Bella knew she was unhappy, she took the ball on the coffee table and threw it into her arms.

Zhao Xinxin rubbed its head and said, "Ignore your master, let's play games with Bella, okay?"

The party in the box was in full swing.

Ling He, who didn't wait for Zhao Xinxin's reply, curled up his lips and put away his phone.

In the midst of the excitement, the box door was suddenly pushed open.

"It's so lively."

Everyone looked up.

The door was blocked tightly by four or five people.

The leader raised his wine glass and looked at Mingxia, "I heard that the guide is also eating here, so I came here to toast you."

Mingxia stood up and said, "Director Li."

"Come here and say hello to you. You can feel free to do whatever you want. We are all on our own." Director Li looked around, "Do you not want to have a drink with me, Director Ming?"

Mingxia smiled and raised her glass, "Of course I want to have a drink with Director Li."

After saying that, she took the lead and drank it all in one gulp. Director Li looked at the glass and signaled that she had finished it in one gulp.

"Okay! Heroine, let me and the two juniors also toast you!" Director Li said, looking back, "Nanwei, Jingzhou, come over and say hello to Director Ming."

Nan smiled sweetly and said, "Hello, Director Ming. This is my first time meeting Director Ming. I would like to propose a toast to you. I hope I have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future."

She had a wine glass in her hand, obviously prepared.

Jiang Mian frowned. She knew that Mingdao was not very good at drinking. She had not seen her drink much just now.

Mingdao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll definitely do it if I have the chance."

"Then I'll do it first, Mingdao does whatever he wants."

After she finished paying her respects, Jingzhou said, “I also want to pay a toast to Mingdao. I have seen Mingdao's works and I admire him very much. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate. I'll do it first, Mingdao is free to do it."

After that, he drank it all in one gulp without giving Mingdao a chance to refuse.

Mingdao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, if there is a chance to cooperate."

Director Li laughed happily, "How about it? I, the two juniors, are quite polite, right?"

"Very polite indeed."

"I brought a few here to say hello to you. There are more. Come one by one, Xiao Yuan, come and say hello to Director Ming." Director Li turned around and said.

Jiang Mian finally understood that these people were here to demonstrate against their crew.

He deliberately caught Ming Dao and made him drink.

Just as she was about to get up, she heard a voice that sounded like a smile but not a smile.

"That being said, shouldn't we also toast Director Li with a toast?" Ling He stood up and said.

"Yeah yeah."

"We should also respect Director Ming."

Everyone agreed.

Someone sitting at the door cleverly invited the person in and then closed the door to the box.

Ling He spoke very slowly, with a cold tone, "Why are you so blind, why don't you hurry up and give it to Director Li?"

"No... no need..." Before Director Li could refuse, someone took the wine glass from his hand.

Then he stuffed it back into his hand.

Ling He, “It's fate that we get together. Let me toast Director Li first. I'll do it first. Director Li does whatever he wants."

Someone filled him up again.

"I also want to toast Director Li."

Jiang Mian stood up and curled his lips, "Don't forget Jingzhou Nanwei. We're all here together. You're welcome. We'll toast you too."

"Yeah yeah."

"Everyone, don't worry, respect each other one by one."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nan Wei stepped back, glanced at the door, and whispered to Jingzhou beside him, “I can't drink that much, I'm leaving first."

"Where are Nan Wei going?" Someone put his arm around her shoulders with a smile, "Here, let's have a drink."

Nan Wei timidly said, “I...I am too drunk..."

"Oh, it's just one drink. Are you looking down on me if you don't drink?"

"Of course not." How could she dare to accept this name? It would be very unpleasant if it was spread.

"Then have a drink!"

"Just one cup?"

"certainly!"

Nan Wei held her breath and drank a glass of wine.

The person next to her hugged her arm again, "I've finished drinking with her, isn't it my turn?"

"Didn't you agree to just one drink?"

"Yes, you have a drink with her, and you have a drink with me, it's all one drink."

Nan Wei tugged at Jingzhou and whispered for help, "I really can't drink so much. Please help me drink two glasses."

Jingzhou frowned, obviously not happy.

What did this woman think of him?

She couldn't drink that much, so could he?

Seeing that he was unmoved, Nan Wei narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice, "I am Luo Fei's, don't forget."

Luo Fei had given Jingzhou a lot of benefits. Even for his sake, Jingzhou would drink this glass of wine for her!

Sure enough, Jingzhou looked unhappy, but he still stretched out his hand and said, "I'll drink this glass of wine for her."

"Hey, Jingzhou, don't worry. If you want to drink, just drink with me. Why are you robbing this little girl?" The assistant director took the wine glass from his hand with a smile and put it into Nan Wei's hand.

Then without even looking at Nan Wei, she held Jingzhou in her arms and walked inside, "Come on, let's have a drink..."

Nan Wei watched Jingzhou walk away from her, her eyes almost glued to him.

The person next to her happily stood in front of her, "Come on, Nanwei, I respect you. We are filming in Hengdian together. It is fate for us."

Nan Wei forced a smile, "It's fate."

It's just bad luck, she thought bitterly.

"Don't stop drinking. Look, I've done it."

Nan Wei stared at the glass of white wine in her hand, gritted her teeth and drank it.

Later, Nan Wei couldn't remember how much he drank.

She only remembered that she drank no less of any of the three types of wine: red, white, beer.

She was finally let out of the box by the Jiuli crew, but she vomited as soon as she got out.

Jingzhou was not much better than her, both of them were in a mess after vomiting.

Nan Wei straightened up and cursed, "Useless thing."

Jingzhou looked ugly. He was the only one here, no one else.

Obviously she was scolding him, "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? You won't be able to hold back a few drinks if I ask you to?"

"They have so many people in one box, and there are only a few of us, how can we drink?"

Jingzhou was drunk a lot and was already dissatisfied.

Nan Wei's words made him angry, so he immediately responded unceremoniously.

"A grown man can't even drink?" Nan Wei said in a contemptuous tone.

Jingzhou was so depressed that everyone in the box was teasing him.

No matter how good he is at drinking, he can't stand up to so many people!

Seeing that he had no excuse, Nan Wei snorted and turned to leave.

Jingzhou was left standing there.

In the box.

Ling He leaned back and let his head go empty.

Jiang Mian pushed the honey water to his table, "I just asked the waiter to bring it to me. Let's drink some to relieve the hangover."

Ling He moved his eyelids and looked over, "Thank you."

He didn't drink much, so he only drank seven or eight cups from Director Li.

This amount of alcohol is nothing to him.

Director Ming took a sip of honey water to calm down and said with a smile, "Thank you all just now."

She felt very warm in her heart. Just now Linghe protected her and convinced Director Li that he was carried away.

"No matter where it is, we are all our own people."

"Yeah, who made them so arrogant and dare to bully our Mingdao!"

"When our Jiuli airs it, we must make it look good for them!"

Director Ming smiled happily, "We just have to be ourselves and strive to make Jiuli the best."

"Come on! Cheers!"

"work hard together!"

"cheers!"

When Jiang Mian returned to the hotel, it was already late at night.

She called the man.

Through the video, she saw that the light in Ji Zhixiu's study was still on, and there was a thick stack of documents on the left side of the desk.

The man's sleeves and wrists were rolled up, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, giving him a more elegant look.

Jiang Mian lay on the bed, swaying her feet and holding her chin, with a cute look on her face, "You don't know, Director Li is so annoying! He drank a lot of wine from our Director Ming!"

Ji Zhixiu glanced at her blushing face and said, "Have you drunk too much?"

Jiang Mian shook his head, "No."

She was proud, "I originally wanted to drink it for Mingdao if they still poured it into their mouths, but I didn't expect Linghe to take us back."

"Ling He, you know, right? I also worked with him in the previous drama, although we didn't have an opposite role."

"Work starts tomorrow! This drama! I am the heroine!" She chuckled, very happy.

From supporting actress to heroine, she spent a lot of effort.

"I would also like to thank Yeyi for giving me this opportunity. This is our company's own drama." Jiang Mian kept chattering like a chatterbox.

Hearing her mention Yeyi, Ji Zhixiu knew that even if he wasn't drunk, he had drunk a lot.

"You drank too much." He said softly.

Jiang Mian shook his head slowly, "I really didn't drink much! You believe me!"

She only drank three, four, five or six cups.

Thinking back when she was in the entertainment industry alone, this little bit of wine was not enough for her to take notice of.

Ji Zhixiu didn't argue with her and coaxed in a low voice, "How about taking a bath and going to bed?"

Jiang Mian nodded, "Okay."

She got up, took her phone into the bathroom, and put it on the shelf.

"I'm going to take a shower."

Ji Zhixiu nodded slightly, "Okay, you wash it."

The next second, Jiang Mian began to take off his clothes.

Ji Zhixiu quickly stopped her with quick eyes and hands, "Mianmian!"

Jiang Mian stopped taking off her skirt and moved closer to the camera, her face looking even more innocent, "What's wrong?"
