Director Liu nodded and smiled. He quickly sized up this woman. Although he didn’t say it out loud, he accepted it in his heart.
Of course, he knew about the female star Chi Luoxi. He also knew that she had acted in a few of her more famous works and felt that the quality was not bad.
This time, she was dressed in a retro cheongsam and stood by the side gracefully. She was not eye-catching, but she was not ordinary either. It made people’s eyes light up, but it did not seem too abrupt.
Her outfit, light and delicate makeup, coupled with her demure and dignified temperament, gave her a unique beauty, which added a lot of points to director Liu xingfei’s heart.
Of course, Sheng Rui was still very good at interpersonal relationships. He called for everyone to sit down, let director Liu sit opposite him, and Chi luexi sit beside him.
Director Liu saw how careful li Jingrui was with Chi Luoxi and guessed his thoughts.
He knew this young man more or less. He had heard his mother mention him before. He was a somewhat arrogant guy. There must be a reason why he was willing to lower his status in front of a girl.
The most likely reason was that he liked this woman and was deliberately trying to please her.
Their relationship was friendly and they maintained a polite distance. It seemed that the two had not officially dated yet.
After director Liu sat down, he glanced at Chi Luoxi again and deliberately asked li Jingrui with a smile,”
“Sheng Rui, what’s your close relationship with miss Chi? Your girlfriend?”
Li Jingrui didn’t know how to answer the question. After all, he hadn’t discussed this matter with Chi luexi. He couldn’t make the decision alone, so as not to make her unhappy.
Seeing that Sheng Rui was hesitating and hadn’t said anything, Chi yaoxi was also worried that it wouldn’t be appropriate to say too much. She didn’t want director Liu to misunderstand, so she quickly explained,”
“We’re friends. Yes, good friends. ”
Li Jingrui had no choice but to nod in acknowledgment.
Director Liu saw some signs and continued to put in a good word for his good friend’s son, li Jingrui, with a smile.”
“En, not bad, Sheng Rui this young man is not bad, in the future he will be a good seedling to achieve great things!”
Li Jingrui had never been praised so directly by uncle Liu before, so she was a little embarrassed.
Even though he was very proud of himself and felt proud in front of the woman he liked, he still said humbly to director Liu,
“Uncle Liu, you flatter me! It’s not that good. I’ve just graduated, and there’s still a lot of practical things to learn. ”
When the food was served, Sheng Rui politely asked director Liu,”
“Uncle Liu, what kind of wine do you like to drink?”
Director Liu xingfei didn’t even think about it. He directly looked at Chi Luoxi and asked,”
“Ladies First. We can have two drinks tonight. What do you want to drink, miss Chi?”
Hearing director Liu suddenly ask for her opinion in such an affable manner without putting on any airs as a famous director, Chi Yuexi felt a little overwhelmed by the favor.
Chi leixi, who did not intend to drink at first, was embarrassed to reject him. After all, he was a big Shot, one of the top directors in the country.
If it wasn’t for Sheng Rui’s introduction, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to directly meet such a Big Shot, let alone eat and drink with him.
Chi leixi immediately smiled politely and said,”
“Director Liu, what kind of wine do you like to drink? I can’t hold my liquor much, so I’ll at least accompany you today. ”
Director Liu xingfei was very happy to hear Chi Luoxi’s words. This woman was rather straightforward.
“Alright, then call the hotel for a bottle of foreign wine! This meal is on me!”
Sheng Rui quickly said:
“No, uncle Liu. I said I’d treat you. Don’t fight with me.”
When it came to drinking, there were more topics to talk about. The few of them laughed and chatted together, and the atmosphere became more relaxed and cheerful.
This time, Chi Yuexi didn’t dare to be negligent. She actually didn’t drink much foreign wine, but she had no choice. It was only right for her to accompany him this time.
If he could get in touch with director Liu xingfei this time and build a good relationship with him, then his status in the film and television industry would be raised to a higher level in the future.
“Ms. Chi, you’re also very famous in the entertainment industry. I know that you’ve acted in several famous TV dramas, such as the historical drama. You’re the female lead in the drama. Your acting is not bad.”
Director Liu’s praise was genuine. Chi Luoxi was a little embarrassed by how direct he was. Perhaps it was because she had drunk a few glasses of wine, but her face was flushed red.
Chi luexi raised her glass again and smiled politely at director Liu.”
“Director Liu, thank you for the encouragement! A toast to you! Be healthy and have a good career!”
There was a crisp clang, and Chi Yuexi immediately toasted first.
Director Liu also raised his head and finished the wine in his glass. Then, he laughed and gave Chi Luoxi a thumbs up.
“I didn’t expect this little girl to have such a big sea!”
Chi luexi waved her hand.”No, no. I’ve already had too much. I’ll get drunk if I drink any more.”
What he said was true. Ever since the third glass, Chi leixi was already feeling tipsy, but her mind was still clear.
She saw Sheng Rui sitting obediently in his seat and not drinking much. She had forgotten the original conversation between the two and asked him why he didn’t drink more?
Sheng Rui waved his hand, using his stomach as an excuse, he said that he could only drink a little, not too much.
Director Liu agreed,”
“You have to be careful of your stomach. I have an old friend who drank too much last month and even had stomach bleeding. Fortunately, he went to the hospital for emergency treatment. Otherwise, he would have lost his life.”
These words were very scary, and Chi Yuexi didn’t dare to persuade Sheng Rui to drink again.
In order to keep the atmosphere at the dining table warm, she only needed to pour a little wine into the glass. However, this kind of foreign wine was basically finished in one go every time. Chi Luoxi had drunk a lot of it back and forth.
There was a notification tone on her phone. Taking advantage of the fact that director Liu was answering a call, Chi leixi opened it and saw that it was a message from Sheng Rui.
It was really strange. The two of them were clearly leaning against each other and not far away from each other, but they were still sending messages.
“I promised you that I wouldn’t drink or drink less in the future to avoid mistakes. Don’t worry, I’ll send you back.”
Chi Luoxi turned off her phone and glanced at Sheng Rui, who blinked at her.
Director Liu sat down again, looked at Chi Luoxi, and said seriously,”
“The script for a big drama has just been booked, and we’re arranging suitable actors. Since Sheng Rui has introduced us, I’ll give priority to looking for a role suitable for you.”
When Chi leixi heard director Liu directly say that he would give her a role in the big movie directed by him, she was so happy that she almost flew.
However, she held back the excitement in her heart. She didn’t want to be too flamboyant, so she quickly said a few words of thanks.
Then, he took the wine and poured a glass for director Liu. He also added wine for himself.
“Director Liu, thank you for giving me a chance. I’ll do my best to play the role well! I’ll toast you again! Thank you for your care!”
Chi Luoxi and director Liu clinked their glasses and downed their drinks in one go.
After finishing the glass, director Liu smiled and suggested,”
“Miss Chi, I think the person you should thank the most should not be me, but Sheng Rui, right? Why don’t you two take this opportunity to toast?”
