Chapter 400 - Chapter 400 Chapter 399 Senior Brother Meng certainly has

Chapter 400: Chapter 399 Senior Brother Meng certainly has extensive connections! Chapter 400: Chapter 399 Senior Brother Meng certainly has extensive connections! “You guys have good taste!” Meng Haoran laughed and said, “When I’m free, I’ll recommend you guys. I can’t boast about anything else, but getting an appearance fee of five or six hundred thousand shouldn’t be a problem!”

Wang Hao: “…”

Just five or six hundred thousand? That’s it?

Wang Hao had just thought this when a message popped up on his WeChat. He picked up his phone and couldn’t help but burst into laughter–

Wang Hao: “Sister Tong, what’s up?”

The sender of the message was none other than Tong Tong, the supervising producer of the “Smiling Proud Wanderer” crew.

Tong Tong: “Wang Hao, where are you right now?”

Wang Hao: “Out for dinner, what’s up, Sister Tong?”

Tong Tong: “We’re short of actors! I’ve considered several candidates, but none fit the bill.”

Wang Hao: “I thought it was something serious. What role do you need? I’ll take a look around for you.”

Tong Tong: “Great! Where are you? Send me your location, I’ll come to you and we can discuss it in person!”

Wang Hao: “Mentown Sushi Restaurant, know it?”

Tong Tong: “Know it, I’ll be there shortly.”

After closing the chat window with Tong Tong, Meng Haoran was still bragging; “Just practice some more, and then I’ll have my dad hook you up with some film and TV companies. I guarantee you’ll become super popular!”

“Little Master,” Jiang Ruoyun asked Wang Hao in a low voice. “You seemed pretty engaged just now; wasn’t some girl chatting you up, was it?”

“A girl, my foot,” Wang Hao replied grumpily. “You’re too young to be thinking of such nonsense. Quit your blabbering. After we eat, get back to scriptwriting. We’ve been waiting here for almost half an hour now. You’ve got too much time on your hands, not practicing properly and choosing to suffer here…”

“Sure, sure!” Jiang Ruoyun pouted. “I just wanted to relax a little…”

Seeing that Jiang Ruoyun had once again engaged in conversation with Wang Hao, Meng Haoran kicked Wang Hao under the table and then coughed before saying, “Wang Hao, if you ever encounter any trouble in the industry, let me know. I’ve got your back! You see, it’s pretty important to be in touch with society, to build some connections. In this society, connections are crucial. Without people, you can’t get anything done.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Wang Hao nodded emphatically, eyes wide. “You’re right, building connections is important.”

You little rascal, two kicks now, I’m keeping track!

“Like just the other day,” Meng Haoran started to boast again. “I was visiting friends in Zhonghai and went to a bar for drinks. You know the bar, right? The one that’s the hottest in Zhonghai right now, Meng Basha. When we got there, it was totally packed! My classmates and I were dancing on the dance floor. It’s inevitable to bump into people in a crowd, and sure enough, a group of thugs started looking for trouble!”

“And then what, then what?” Jiang Luochen asked anxiously. “Did you get into a fight?”

Qin Susu covered her mouth, her wide eyes almost bulging out, “You weren’t hurt, were you?!”

“How could that be,” Meng Haoran boasted, chin held high. “Those thugs were acting all tough, you know what I mean?! They told me they knew so and so many people and that they’d make sure I go home lying down after leaving the bar! Man, that scared me!”

As he reached the thrilling part, all the girls turned their attention to him.

Meng Haoran was clearly enjoying this atmosphere and continued, “You know, even in the underworld I’m known as Brother Hao Ran. A few little thugs thought they could scare me? Impossible! I immediately took out my phone and called Brother Dao! You know Brother Dao, right?! He’s the top enforcer for Mr. Tan from Zhonghai! Brother Dao came charging over with his men! Those thugs turned to jelly when they saw Brother Dao, shaking so bad they nearly wet their pants!”

Hearing the name ‘Brother Dao’, Wang Hao touched his nose–this Brother Dao, he was someone Wang Hao had met, but his status was slightly less…

“That’s so impressive!” The three girls exclaimed, “Senior Brother Meng really knows a lot of people!”

Meng Haoran was still in the middle of his stories when his friend, Izukura Mamoru, and a waiter came over with a large platter.

On the platter were seven portions of sushi, each portion having only eight pieces, placed neatly alongside chopsticks, wasabi, and a small serving of sea snail slices. It all looked very tidy and beautiful.

“Here’s your sushi, please enjoy.” Izukura Mamoru arranged the sushi for everyone, then glared fiercely at Wang Hao–earlier, Wang Hao had said that sushi came from the Heavenly People’s Republic, which he had heard. Although Wang Hao made a compelling argument, which he couldn’t refute, he was determined to win this annoying young man over with the taste of the sushi!

“Finally, the sushi is here!” As soon as the sushi arrived, Meng Haoran eagerly gestured for Jiang Ruoyun to start, his eyes full of expectation, “I got us this spot thanks to my friend’s connections, Ruoyun, you must try it and see how it tastes!”

He had put a lot of thought into this occasion.

After all, Jiang Ruoyun was a little princess, and winning her over wouldn’t be easy!

“I’ll try it.” Jiang Ruoyun picked up a piece of sushi, dipped it lightly in wasabi, and then delicately placed it in her mouth. Her eating was quite a sight to behold, the action was flawless. As a super-rich beauty, from an etiquette standpoint, she was impeccable.

“How is it?” Meng Haoran asked eagerly. “How’s the taste?”

“Actually, it’s not bad.” Jiang Ruoyun nodded, speaking indifferently. “It was worth the wait.”

With her setting the example, the others began to eat as well.

Jiang Luochen marveled at the deliciousness of the sushi while eating; Yang Xueyao ate quietly with minimal talk. Baby-faced Qin Susu, tears almost emerging from the spice, fanned herself while exclaiming, “It’s so spicy, it’s so spicy!” and then continued to eat voraciously.

Among those present, only Wang Hao remained calm and collected.

After he ate a piece of sushi, he closed his eyes to savor the taste, then slowly shook his head.
