Chapter 419: Chapter 419_1 Chapter 419: Chapter 419_1 The soundproofing in the room was excellent, at least Qiao Xiaren didn’t hear anyone calling outside. Qiao Xiaren put down her phone and walked towards the bathroom, intending to take a bath and rest well.

Chu Yifei arrived two hours later, as did Chen Lanjun and the other two fresh-face actresses. They arrived early at the gathering hotel without hesitating for a moment.

Soon, Wu Xinghui and Li Zhiyao also arrived. The luxurious hotel, which maintains an overall modern, Western style, was buzzing with elites from business and political circles.

At half past seven in the evening, Qiao Xiaren took the elevator downstairs. Qin Hao’s assistant called her to notify that the cast would have dinner together that night, to get acquainted with each other.

“We have dinner reservations, so let’s all dine together. Those not familiar with each other can take this opportunity to get to know each other better, so it will be easier to act tomorrow.” That seemed to be what Qin Hao meant, fostering a good relationship among the cast would be beneficial for the filming.

“Xiaren, congratulations on winning the grand slam actress award.” Chu Yifei dismissed his bodyguard and manager to avoid making the dining atmosphere awkward.

In reality, Chu Yifei wasn’t difficult to get along with, his demeanour was calming.

“Thanks, I didn’t expect it.” Qiao Xiaren looked at him with a playful expression, “I remember you were leaving the company when I left. Why are you so late? Did a girl delay you on the way?”

“A girl?” Chu Yifei glanced at her with a smile at the corner of his eyes, then chuckled before asking, “Are you talking about Si Limo?”

Some people at the side were almost choked by their water. Qiao Xiaren put down her cup, her eyes flitting about slightly, “You mean that …”

“Indeed.” Chu Yifei continued to nod, his charming peach blossom-like eyes smiling slightly upwards, “She purposely stopped me on the way to the company, saying that it would be best to keep distance between artists. That even if we made a pairing on screen, we should be mindful of our influence. To prevent the spread of gossip that would have to be handled by the company’s public relations.”

Qiao Xiaren: …

“But it’s a shame, I don’t appreciate anyone preaching at me.” Chu Yifei cast her a meaningful glance, then shifted away to say, “Have a taste of Jiangning’s specialty. I tried it a few years ago when I was filming here, it was good.”

“You do seem rather familiar with this place.”

“I guess, the people here are interesting.”

The atmosphere began to liven up across the banquet.

“Come on, everyone must eat more tonight, it’s on me.” Qin Hao booked a private room and ordered about twenty-four dishes that were the specialties of Jiangning. As everyone took their seats, Qiao Xiaren happened to sit next to Chu Yifei.

Tang Chuzhen, with sparkling eyes, poured a drink and walked over to Chu Yifei: “Film Emperor Chu, I toast to you, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation.”

“You’re too polite,” Chu Yifei drank the toast, laughed, and put down the cup. Tang Chuzhen wanted to win him over – Chu Yifei and Qiao Xiaren had just had a lively conversation, surely he must be a good person to get along with.

Who would have known, she was dismissed with just a simple exchange.

Although somewhat down, she still kept a poker face and obediently returned to her seat.

“Hey, isn’t this the young girl we met last time?” Li Zhiyao recognized Qiao Xiaren and laughed, “Indeed, a fine talent, your performance in ‘Slayer of the Immortals’ was really good.”

“Thank you, Teacher Li. If you weren’t the lead actress in the play, I would not have been able to win the actress award.” Qiao Xiaren’s smile was just right, neither humble nor proud.

Everyone was surprised that Qiao Xiaren knew Li Zhiyao, it seemed that her networking skills were not just a sham..
