Jian Qiaoxin retreated quietly into the corridor. He started to look down at himself a little bit. He clearly did not do anything wrong, yet he did not know what he was guilty of. He was so terrified, just like an army deserter.
People came and went at the cocktail party, everyone had their own purpose to go back and forth, some were for networking, some were for profit.
Jian Qiaoxin straightened out his clothes. He came here today to ask Director Wang for a chance at an audition.
Not too far away, Nong Bai had just finished greeting his business friends, and walked over to his little artist, "How is it, are you ready, I will take you to meet Brother Wang."
Jian Qiaoxin nodded his head.
At the bar area of the cocktail party, there was a large white table that was filled with all kinds of alcohol and wine. Beauties were surrounding the table, there were also handsome boys.
Director Wang sat on the sofa, hugging beauties on his left and right, and being fed wine by the beauties. Across from him was the cynical Yan Gan. Unlike the director, even though there were beauties sitting next to him, these beauties only sat still and did not dare to get closer to the man.
After all, no one dared to approach without his permission, there was no exception no matter what. Yan Gan actually did not like to be touched by outsiders. In the past, there was actually a person with an exquisite look who tried to approach him without permission, that person immediately got beaten and was sent to the hospital on the spot.
Nong Bai dragged Jian Qiaoxin over and said enthusiastically, "Oh, Brother Wang, it has been a long time, you're looking good lately."
Wang Can was drinking with the beauties, so he only gave the man a lazy look, "Oh, Xiao Bai."
"It's me, it's me, you are in a good mood today," Nong Bai smiled and turned his head to look at Yan Gan and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Yan."
Yan Gan just glanced at him, not bothering to say anything.
Wang Can finally finished the wine feeding by the beauties and started to say, "It's alright, Xiao Bai, sit down and have some drinks."
Even though he invited Nong Bai to sit down to have some drinks, the seats at the table were all occupied.
Nong Bai was not being embarrassed by the situation. He started to push Jian Qiaoxin who was acting like a dead fish behind him, "Brother Wang, I brought someone here with me this time. This is Jian Qiaoxin, the artist I signed."
Jian Qiaoxin put up a professional smile, but his voice was crisp and bitter: "Hello, Director Wang."
Such a tender voice finally made the stunned Director Wang solemnly raise his head, and his chubby face finally showed a little smile: "Qiaoxin, it's a good name."
He pointed to a wine glass in front of him, "have a drink."
Jian Qiaoxin frowned. He did not like to drink alcohol. Also, the origin of this party was unknown. He did not know if there was no additive in those glasses.
Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, everyone around the table looked over, some were curious and some watched in amusement. .
Nong Bai cursed in his heart, and directly picked up the wine glass for Jian Qiaoxin and shoved it into the boy's hand: "This rascal, are you nervous for meeting Brother Wang the first time?"
Jian Qiaoxin also knew the importance of the situation: "Yes, it's the first time I see Director Wang in person. I have always admired Director Wang and I got a little nervous."
Wang Can laughed loudly, Jian Qiaoxin was just spouting nonsense, but it hit his fetish. He was a bit older, so he liked to hear praises from these jerky youngsters.
There was no way out of it, he really could not make the director lose face in public, so an unwilling Jian Qiaoxin took the glass and chugged it down in one go.
"Very Good! Very Refreshing!"
Director Wang took the lead in applauding, other people naturally followed suit, and the atmosphere naturally turned warmer. People in the entertainment circle liked to have fun and were sensible.
If Jian Qiaoxin only took a few sips, it would be considered a complete offense.
After a few rounds of wine, Jian Qiaoxin also sat down next to Director Wang. Even though he usually did not like to talk, at the critical moment, Jian Qiaoxin knew what was the right thing to say. He could talk about everything and could even come up with a topic to chat with the people around him.
It was just that after a while, Director Wang's hands began to be dishonest.
Jian Qiaoxin was completely shocked when he felt an unwanted pig's knuckle on his waist. He subconsciously raised his face, but he was sitting opposite of Yan Gan.
From the start of the party, Yan Gan had been absent-minded, sitting still and playing with his phone, occasionally taking a sip of wine, and holding a red wine glass in his hand as if he was holding a piece of distinctive art.
Yan Gan raised his eyelids lazily and glanced at him, and saw that the face of the young man on the opposite side was blushing. Perhaps because of the anxiety, the boy's eyes were red, and he looked like a bunny being forced to the edge of a cliff.
Kind of...interesting.
He looked down and saw the fat arm around Jian Qiaoxin's waist, Yan Gan's mouth curved up into a small smile. He had seen so many under the table transactions in the entertainment circle. Wasn't this what this kid came here for today?
Jian Qiaoxin was being stared at by Yan Gan, and combined with the unbearable tolerance of the fatty pig's knuckle on his waist, he felt so uncomfortable in his stomach as if being poked by a needle. Sure enough, even if it was for his own dream, his dignity would not allow it. That was it.
He suddenly stood up from the sofa like a rocket "launching", which surprised everyone around him.
Director Wang was a little unhappy when he was forced to withdraw his hand: "What's wrong?"
"I...I want to use the restroom." Jian Qiaoxin brought up a terrible excuse.
"......"
There were people around covering their mouths laughing. Although Director Wang was unhappy, he couldn't say anything: "Go on."
Like an amnesty, Jian Qiaoxin ran out without looking back, as if there was a scourge chasing him, making him wish to jump three feet higher.
It was impossible to go to the restroom. It was definitely impossible to go to the restroom at this time. Outside the reception, there was an open-air balcony. Jian Qiaoxin covered his chest, holding onto his breathing.
There are twenty one floors in Feng Huazhi Hotel, and the rooms are more luxurious as the floor goes up, meaning only people with honorable social status can reserve these rooms. He was on the nineteenth floor. The open-air balcony was very large and the carpet was extremely soft. He felt like he was stepping on cotton while walking on it. More importantly, the hotel must be wanting to provide a better stay experience for their guests, the theme design here was the forest.
The carpet was green, like grass color, with many live trees planted around it, flower beds were clustered, the path was long, and partitions separated the balcony into small closed rooms.
Jian Qiaoxin sat down on a swing in a small room. Across from him was the gorgeous night view of the entire A City, brightly lit and resplendent.
He had been sitting here for a while, staring into blank space as time passed; the phone in his pocket started to ring again, it must be his agent who urged him to return.
Jian Qiaoxin sighed and decided to go out to look for Nong Bai, he was going to tell the man that he had decided to give up the role. His hand stopped shortly after touching the door handle..
There was the sound of small footsteps outside, then followed by the chatting of two men, it seemed that they were not far from him.
"I said, with your status and wealth, how can that little lover of yours still refuse to be with you? You should just cover him in money to make it easier."
Yan Gan's lazy and thorny voice said in a low tone outside: "That's not very good."
"Fuck, what's not so good? What kind of person does he want to be with, a fairy. I'm going to be honest, you are both rich and powerful, and you have such good looks, what is Wen Yuan thinking?"
Yan Gan said: "Why are you spouting so much bullshit?"
"......"
Two people were chatting outside, and this was a pain for Jian Qiaoxin in the room. In order to have a cleaner place, he specially found the innermost room. Generally, no one would come over. Who knew his luck running out today? The fleeting years were not good.
The chatting voices continued, but Jian Qiaoxin was pondering between going out and not going out.
If he were to go out, no doubt that he would be considered eavesdropping. It would be embarrassing for all of them, especially when the discussion between these two people seemed to be a private topic.
Yan Gan, he certainly could not afford to offend him, in case the other man wanted to seal his lips...
Jian Qiaoxin, whose brain was turning frantically, released the handle of the door, and was ready to hide inside to wait until the two walked away before going out.
The sound of the door handle being released was very soft, but this lively place was almost negligible.
Yan Gan, who was standing not far away, had a sharp hearing.
The friend who was chatting with him saw his face suddenly change, and couldn't help but said, "What's the matter?"
Yan Gan said nothing but narrowed his eyes, with long strides he walked towards the suspected room. His voice was scornful as he said sharply: "Come out."
Jian Qiaoxin in the next room was shocked as he stared wide-eyed at the door.
Yan Gan was well-known for being notoriously violent. He kicked the fragile door and lowered his voice, this was a sign of anger: "Don't let me say it again."
Jian Qiaoxin did not dare to hide behind the door, and he tremblingly came over to open the door: "Don't, don't, I'll open the door."
The door lock was unlocked, and the young man wearing a white suit stood nervously. Although he tried to hide his fear, his timid eyes and extremities exposed all his thoughts.
Yan Gan was not an unreasonable person, he sneered: "You even have the nerve to eavesdrop?"
"I did not!" Jian Qiaoxin pointed to the swing: "I just came here to relax, and had been sitting here for some peace."
Yan Gan still remembered the reason the young man got out of the room: "Didn't you say to use the restroom?"
"......"
Jian Qiaoxin blushed, feeling embarrassed, he said: "I came here after using the restroom; anyway, I was here long before you got here."
"Really." Yan Gan took a step forward. The man was a head taller than Jian Qiaoxin. This made it seem very oppressive to be this close: "So, did you hear what we were talking about?"
Being retreated to the wall, Jian Qiaoxin as an honest child nodded his head.
Yan Gan smirked with the corner of his mouth curved up: "Give you a second chance, do you know who I am?"
Jian Qiaoxin's eyes dodged the man's sharp eyes, and his comprehension obviously could not keep up with the thought of the person in front of him: "Yan, President Yan, don't worry, I won't say anything."
"Well, guess who can keep secrets best." Yan Gan's cold face showed a dangerous sneer in the dim light of the dark room.
Jian Qiaoxin was so frightened by the man that his legs went weak. He had seen these scenarios in movies, and even descriptions of similar scenarios in the novels also flashed through his eyes. He cried a little bit: "You want, want to kill, kill me?"
"Pfft."
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
An astonishing laughter came from the side, Yan Gan's friend laughed while bending over: "Oh my god, you made me die of laughter, where you get that thought of killing to silence someone, such an interesting mindset you have there. A Gan, are you trying to scare the kid?"
Even Yan Gan had a smirk hanging on his lips, obviously he was now in a very good mood.
Jian Qiaoxin: "......"
All the blood rushed to Jian Qiaoxin's head, and the shame and shyness made him feel completely embarrassed. Yan Gan, this person—this person is a devil!
