Chapter 776: Chapter 766: You’re Not Drunk

"Xiao Tang, look at this mess, it’s my fault as the host for not taking good care of things. I truly didn’t expect such a thing to happen! You must help explain this to President Su and President Shen!" Director Deng quickly said to Tang Nan after seeing Shen Yi and Su Qing leave.

Shen Yi’s aura just now was truly intimidating; they didn’t dare offend Shen Yi, and they were eager to curry favor with Su Qing, the ’golden patron,’ How could they dare to complain?

Don’t even mention slapping an actor; even if someone tough showed up and slapped him, he would still have to greet them with a smile. After all, these days, the ones with money are the bosses.

If he didn’t want investment, plenty of people would eagerly butter him up, naturally not stepping in for an unpopular female artist.

Zhang Hanjing isn’t popular, and even those popular artists without any background would still get slapped when facing true big shots.

But clearly, not everyone thought so. As soon as Director Deng finished speaking, someone mumbled:

"But you can’t just hit someone, can’t you just talk it over? We still have filming to do tomorrow!"

"It was indeed a bit impulsive!"

"This is just too domineering, wasn’t Sister Zhang doing nothing wrong, does it really warrant this?"

Tang Nan didn’t feel particularly angry about what people in the private room were saying, as she herself brought them here, but naturally, there were words that needed to be said when heard.

"People need to be self-aware and not reach for things that aren’t theirs. My friend has a pretty good temper; otherwise, some people could just get ready to quit the scene.

Let me advise someone, calling the police is your freedom, but it’s just a slap. It doesn’t affect us in any way. Baihua’s lawyers are pretty decent, and of course, the PR department is even better!"

After saying that, Tang Nan smiled and then looked at Director Deng, continuing, "Don’t worry, Director Deng, targeting is targeting, cooperation is cooperation. There shouldn’t be any impact; the rest of the matters will require your effort. As for Dong Li, I will find a time to talk about it with her!"

Having said this, Tang Nan nodded to everyone and immediately took her leave.

Even though she was also an artist, Tang Nan wasn’t just an ordinary artist without any backing. When she first entered the circle, some people had an interest in her, but it all ended without a conclusion, and even two directors eventually dropped out because of this, something everyone hadn’t forgotten.

Although she never said what it was about, everyone knew she had someone behind her, so generally, people didn’t dare have any ill intentions toward her.

After Tang Nan left, Director Deng sat powerlessly in a chair. Originally, today’s gathering was supposed to be a pleasant meal, but he didn’t expect such a thing would happen.

Should he blame Liu Yinian and Zhang Hanjing? Of course not, even if Zhang Hanjing was a little anxious, these are the unspoken rules of the circle.

At this moment, Su Qing is like a piece of juicy meat, a sugary cake, and he already took a bite. Though he wanted more, but he has no appetite for it now, and can only wait for the next round.

Therefore, he had to let others have a taste for now. Besides, the cake itself wanted more people to try it, which is why today’s gathering took place.

He and Director Wang both intentionally contributed to arranging this situation, Su Qing, as the person involved, went along with the flow, but he never expected that this would happen.

"Old Deng, now this..." Liu Yinian said, looking at Zhang Hanjing, who was still wiping her tears, comforted by a few girls by her side.

"It’s okay, I don’t think President Shen is one to disregard the bigger picture; the business needs to be discussed, and contacts maintained, but just..."

Saying this, he glanced at Zhang Hanjing, implying something without saying.

In response, Liu Yinian nodded. In the future, if there’s an opportunity to collaborate with Su Qing, Zhang Hanjing definitely shouldn’t appear again. Not just her, but other female artists with ulterior motives shouldn’t be found either, and they shouldn’t facilitate things; otherwise, it might backfire, just like today.

"Hiss... quickly start the car; this damn weather, how did it suddenly drop so much!" Tang Nan pulled open the car door and sat in the passenger seat, while Su Qing was dozing off in the backseat.

At this point, he was already under the influence of alcohol, his eyes slightly glassy, sitting in the car, feeling everything spin around him. If he didn’t see tiny people growing on him, he might have thought he ate Yunnan mushrooms again.

"All wrapped up?" Shen Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, starting the car at the same time.

"Of course, I’ve said everything that needed to be said. If Zhang Hanjing is a bit smart, she will know what to do. But even if she’s not, it’s fine; there are smart people among those present. They should start investigating us tonight once they get back.

But truly, Xiao Yi, today, you were amazing!" Tang Nan gave a thumbs up in admiration.

She always enjoyed clashing with Shen Yi, but in truth, she really admired the other person.

Especially that presence she had, it was something Tang Nan could never emulate, a kind of crushing superiority above all. Having money isn’t just enough.

If being wealthy, then landlady Wen Nanqing surpassed the two of them by an unknown measure, but she lacked even a bit of that aura, resembling more of a virtuous wife and good mother, not fierce at all, the kind that men wanted to protect and women wanted to bully.

Hearing this, Shen Yi rolled her eyes at him, then through the rear-view mirror, glared at Su Qing, who was dozing off in the backseat, spat lightly: "It’s not because you guys are thoughtless, otherwise would I need to personally show up? I don’t understand the entertainment circle, but since you are in it, you let this kind of thing happen, to be honest, I am... very disappointed in you!"

"Hey, hey, hey, that’s enough, okay, I’m not Zhang Hanjing, save your ’boss lady’ attitude for someone else. Besides, what can I do? I just exist within the circle; everyone bumps into each other now and then, unless I quit right now, otherwise, who doesn’t make friends? And another thing, it was precisely because this was Su Qing’s partner hosting, not me, I was just included.

The most important thing is, I don’t have the status. If it were my man, I would have slapped them dead already, wouldn’t even need you! Their faces would have been scratched up by me long ago.

If I were in your place, how would people view me? Meddlesome or having ulterior motives of my own?

But speaking honestly, if I did have status, would they dare to act that way in front of me? They were certain the two of us weren’t related, so they dared to do this!"

Tang Nan spread her hands, but her words were indeed reasonable and well-grounded.

Indeed, in this respect, even the most audacious person wouldn’t blatantly flirt in front of someone’s partner because that crosses from being a misunderstanding to outright provocation. This time, even though Shen Yi slapped Zhang Hanjing, at least it could be explained as a misunderstanding.

"True, but it seems that in the future, I really have to keep an eye on him," Shen Yi sighed, discreetly glancing towards the back.

Hearing this, Tang Nan laughed: "No worries, Xiao Su performed decently today, he was keeping away from that woman. Truly a rare good man!"

"Is that so? That’s not what you said a few days ago. Who was it that came anxiously to tattle on me after seeing him letting some strange girls into the car?" Shen Yi chuckled.

Hearing this, Tang Nan felt awkward: "That’s a misunderstanding, wasn’t it? I see very clearly the kind of person Xiao Su is now, a good one for sure, no doubt on his character, rest assured!"

To which, Shen Yi smiled: "Perhaps he deliberately did that because he saw you were there?"

"Hey? Can’t be, I think Xiao Su showed clear disdain towards Zhang Hanjing’s attentiveness?" Tang Nan was uncertain.

"Ha, who knows, brother, what do you think?"

Without even opening his eyes, Su Qing languidly replied:

"I think Brother Nan is right, please continue praising me, don’t stop!"

Tang Nan: ???

"Damn, you’re not drunk!"

"I am, I am, stop yelling, my head hurts!" Su Qing mumbled.

He really was under the influence, swaying as he walked. If not for Shen Yi supporting him, he might have stumbled by himself.

But he was just tipsy, not blacked out, hadn’t even vomited, and hadn’t fallen asleep, so how could he not hear the two conversing?

He remembered being picked up by Shen Yi before, that time in the car he had consciousness, just later on fell asleep and spent the night outside, nowhere near to that point now.

Tang Nan threw a huge, annoyed glance at him, gritting her teeth she said:

"Little liar!"
