Chapter 157: The Empress Has Arrived
Lin Xi turned her head with a smile, but she was still staring at Chen Che with her bright eyes.
“What are you trying to do?”
Chen Che grinned and strode forward. He clapped his arms and knelt on one knee.
“Madam Lin Xi, you’re finally back. I’m really sorry that I couldn’t go forward and kneel.”
“Aiya, stop fooling around.”
Lin Xi chuckled and avoided it. Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
Zhao Chao smiled and asked, “What are you guys doing?”
Chen Che waved his hand and explained, “I was just greeting her, but she kept staring at me. I thought I didn’t greet her properly.”
Everyone smiled and shook their heads. They were already used to Chen Che’s jokes.
In the relaxed atmosphere, Lin Xi quietly told Chen Che, “Brother Liu went to Shanghai.”
Chen Che frowned. “This late? Why is he going to Shanghai?”
Lin Xi turned her head to look at the others playing cards and said casually,
“CEO Zhang is on a business trip in Shanghai.”
Chen Che shook his head helplessly. Although he was complaining, he still prepared to eat supper.
In the hotel lobby, Chu Feiyun and Luo Heng met up one after another.
After everyone greeted each other, Zhao Chao joked.
Chen Che also smiled and joined in. “This atmosphere feels like a recording.” Everyone laughed. After the first episode of the show, everyone became even closer.
Chen Che asked Luo Heng casually, “Are you taking the high-speed rail back?” Luo Heng nodded. ”1 was almost recognized. Fortunately, the mask covered it.” Chen Che smiled and said, “Luo Heng, you’re popular and your looks are outstanding. One mask can’t stop you. Remember to wear two next time.” Everyone laughed again and teased each other.
Luo Heng smiled at Chen Che. “You’re very good at making people happy.”
Chen Che pretended to be serious. “Then why aren’t you praising my strengths?”
Luo Heng thought for a moment and patted Chen Che comfortingly. “You definitely should have some.”
Chen Che glared. “You dare to say that?”
Luo Heng laughed out loud and stopped arguing. The group continued to chat heartily.
Lin Xi also left with a smile.
Chen Che was familiar with everyone. This might be a luck factor and compensation for not being famous for many years.
Until now, among these people, no matter if they were familiar or not, they had not been distant and cold to him because of his low popularity.
Perhaps this was only a phenomenon unique to him.
After all, the entertainment industry was not filled with true kindness and beauty.
Chen Che had been in the show for many years and had gotten to know many people.
They became familiar with each other and eventually became good friends. As a result, they became more and more popular.
“Let’s go.” Zhao Chao waved his hand and everyone left one after another. However, this time, they were only going to eat.
Chen Che thought that this seemed to be no different from the first episode of filming.
However, when he pushed open the door of the private room and saw a figure focused on his phone, Chen Che finally understood what was special.
“Sister Li?!” Chen Che was the first to shout in surprise.
“Little Che, long time no see.”
As expected, the lady looked up and smiled at Chen Che.
It turned out that they did not choose to eat at a hotel. Instead, they booked a private room at a restaurant not far from the hotel.
It was all because of the appearance of this mysterious figure—Zhou Li, the top actress in the television drama, had been promoted to a top A-list actress with the help of ‘The Legend of Lady Zhen.’
Zhou Li could call out his name immediately. Chen Che seemed to understand Zhao Chao’s attitude towards him. As husband and wife, the two of them definitely had the same information and attitude.
As for the others, they might not be so familiar with Zhou Li, especially Luo Heng and Lin Xi.
“Zhou Li is here.”
“Sis Li is here.”
Everyone greeted him.
He called Zhao Chao by his name, not Brother Chao, but occasionally.
However, addressing Zhou Li as Sister Li is better.
Indeed, his aura was strong.
“Chen Che, sit beside me.”
At the very least, the current Zhou Li appeared to be kind and amiable, like a big sister.
Although it was a little mushy to say that, Chen Che was indeed younger than her.
“Isn’t Sister Li filming Director Zhang’s movie?”
Chen Che sat comfortably on Zhou Li’s right. His laughter revealed relaxation as he asked curiously, “I heard that filming locattion is not far from here, so you came over? You’ll go back together after Zhao Chao finishes filming the second episode, right? After all, it’s said that there are still many days before the third episode.”
Zhou Li glanced at Zhao Chao and nodded in confirmation.
Zhao Chao gestured for everyone to sit down. He asked in a puzzled tone, “Has everyone ordered?”
Before Zhou Li could answer, the waiter had already begun to serve the delicacies.
The waiter’s professionalism was commendable. Although he looked around curiously, he did not lose his composure and scream or ask for a photo.
Soon, a table of sumptuous dishes was filled.
Luo Heng and Zhou Li had long known each other. They poured wine and drinks together.
Everyone sat around the table and chatted happily. Chen Che realized that the seats at the table seemed to be filled, but they were strangely quiet.
He subconsciously glanced around and was shocked.
This was the visual effect. As long as you casually glanced at it, you would find a pair of beautiful black eyes staring at you.
Sometimes, this feeling was similar to the Midnight Ring.
“When did you sit here?”
Chen Che asked in surprise. His mood was already fluctuating because of her playfulness.
After asking, he looked at the others and suddenly thought of something. “Sister Li, do you know her?”
Chen Che pointed at Zhou Li.
He leaned back in his chair and gestured for Lin Xi to look at Zhou Li. “This is Lin Xi. She’s a popular star now and will definitely become an great superstar in the future.”
“Sister Li.”
Lin Xi glared at Chen Che. Seeing Zhou Li look over, she nodded and bowed slightly.
Zhou Li was instantly enlightened. She smiled and said, “So it’s you. The one who has been very popular recently is indeed very beautiful.”
She turns.
She smiled at Chen Che. “In that case, Little Che, who are you introducing her to?”
Zhao Chao said jokingly, “Both of them are newbies. He relied on other people’s popularity to climb.”
Chen Che smiled and replied, “I’ve already gotten over it. I don’t care if I rely on other people’s popularity.”
Lin Xi pretended to be angry and said, “I mind!”
This caused a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere between them became more relaxed.
Chen Che glanced at Lin Xi and did not say anything else. He continued to chat with the others.
Zhou Li kindly encouraged Chen Che. “Best of luck, Chen Che!”
Chen Che replied gratefully, “I definitely will. After all, Brother Chao is by my side.”
Zhou Li smiled and recalled, “Many years ago, you were a stubborn kid on the production team.”
Chen Che smiled bitterly. “I was young back then.”
Anyone who saw him would mention this first.
Zhou Li continued, “You’re still young now, not even 30 years old. Nowadays, it’s not like in the past where you had to step from a supporting role to the main character. As long as you have good operations and resources, a movie can make you famous.”
Chen Che asked in surprise, “Sister Li, are you taking me to film?”
Zhao Chao glared at him. “Don’t be greedy.”
Then, she gestured to him. “Eat well and don’t talk nonsense.”
Zhou Li smiled and did not say anything else..
