Chapter 13 Wine Bureau
Li Jinxi saw Gu Yannian's call on her phone screen, and noticed that Lan Yaoxia's face gradually became gloomy. She struggled for a while, but finally decided to answer the call in front of Lan Yaoxia.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, she turned on the hands-free function. As soon as the call was connected, Gu Yannian's aggrieved and pitiful voice came: "Jinxi, I was beaten and I'm in the police station now. Can you come and pick me up?"
Hearing this, Li Jinxi was shocked and asked with concern: "What happened? How did you get beaten? Is your injury serious?" Gu Yannian's tone on the other end of the phone became more and more desolate: "It's very serious, but I still endured the pain and followed the police to the police station. Can you come and take me to the hospital?"
Hearing this, Li Jinxi showed a hint of hesitation. Her eyes fell on Lan Yaoxia, not knowing how to explain. At this time, Lan Yaoxia silently observed Li Jinxi's reaction, revealing complex emotions in her eyes.
At the same time, Gu Yannian did not get a clear answer from Li Jinxi, so he shouted again: "Jinxi, I really have no other friends in the country, and now I can only rely on you." His voice was full of helplessness and earnestness.
These words softened Li Jinxi's heart. She gritted her teeth and said to Gu Yannian, "Okay, I'll be there right away. Please wait a moment." After that, she hung up the phone, took a deep breath, looked at Lan Yaoxia, and prepared to explain the situation to him.
After hanging up the phone, Li Jinxi turned around and faced Lan Yaoxia and said, "I'm just taking him to the hospital and I'll be back soon." Her voice was calm, but there was a hint of imperceptible anxiety in her eyes.
Lan Yaoxia couldn't help but sneer in his heart after hearing this. He thought to himself, "Why should I have any expectations of this woman?" However, on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and replied as if he didn't care: "Okay, then go quickly, and be careful on the road."
Hearing Lan Yaoxia's calm response, Li Jinxi seemed relieved. She then added, "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I take him to the hospital." After that, she hurriedly put on her shoes.
At this moment, as the door closed, Lan Yaoxia's anger finally burst out uncontrollably. He clenched his fists tightly, his arms trembling slightly. Suddenly, he swung his arms violently, throwing all the dishes that had been arranged to the ground. Suddenly, there was a series of "bang, bang" sounds, and the broken porcelain pieces flew everywhere, scattered in every corner of the ground.
Looking at the messy debris on the ground, Lan Yaoxia felt increasingly depressed.
At this moment, Lan Yaoxia's cell phone, which was placed on the table, suddenly rang with a cheerful ringtone.
Looking closely, Li Keyi's name was displayed on the screen. Lan Yaoxia took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down before pressing the answer button.
"Hello, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lan Yaoxia tried to keep her voice calm.
Li Keyi's slightly excited laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Haha, Yaoxia, I'm attending a drinking party now! There's a leader from Aiqi TV here. Their station has a very popular variety show recently. It just so happens that the newcomer you just signed hasn't received a job yet. This is a rare opportunity, come over quickly!"
Li Keyi then instructed: "You have to attend more drinking parties like this in the future. Accumulating personal connections is very important for the development of the company. This time, I will let you meet some people first and get familiar with the environment."
“I’ll send you the address now.”
Finally, he urged: "Hurry up, I have prepared two bottles of good wine waiting for you!"
Hearing this, Lan Yaoxia felt better and replied, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Lan Yaoxia quickly tidied herself up and hurried to the agreed location.
Leaving the mess in the house behind, Lan Yaoxia drove quickly to the destination.
After entering the private room, there were seven or eight people of different appearances sitting inside. Some were drinking from their glasses, some were smoking cigarettes, and a few were sitting around chatting and laughing.
Li Keyi was holding a wine glass, a cigarette in his mouth, a smile on his face, and chatting with others.
Seeing Lan Yaoxia coming in, he immediately put down the wine glass and cigarette in his hand, stood up to greet her, and held Lan Yaoxia's arm tightly, introducing her to everyone present: "Dear friends, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Lan from Liangjingjing Entertainment Company..."
However, those present may not be familiar with this company which was established not long ago.
The reason why they greeted Lan Yaoxia and smiled at her was probably because of Li Keyi's face.
Lan Yaoxia was very clear about this, but out of politeness and upbringing, she still smiled and greeted them one by one.
However, during this process, she keenly noticed that the enthusiasm of these people seemed a little cold, as if they were just pretending on the surface and had no real sincerity.
At this moment, Li Keyi saw this scene. He walked straight to one of the CEOs and whispered in his ear, "This is the eldest son of the Lan family in Linhai City. You'd better be smart. Otherwise, if his father says a word, you may never have a chance to record your show again."
Hearing this, the boss was shocked and looked at Li Keyi with wide eyes in disbelief. He never expected that the young man in front of him had such a prominent background.
After coming to his senses, the boss hurriedly put down what he was holding, quickly picked up the wine glass, and rushed to where Lan Yaoxia was. Then he held Lan Yaoxia tightly and invited him to sit down. The enthusiasm at this moment can be described as in full swing.
Then, the boss gave one round of toasts after another, and at the same time kept chatting with Lan Yaoxia. His attentive attitude made people look at him sideways.
The remaining few people nodded as if they had suddenly understood something, then raised their glasses and toasted Lan Yaoxia with a smile on their faces. Seeing this, Lan Yaoxia responded to the toasts one by one without showing any weakness, and drank seven or eight glasses of wine in just a few minutes.
At this moment, Li Keyi, who was sitting next to Lan Yaoxia, suddenly said: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are recording a program recently! And it so happens that Mr. Lan has an artist under his management who is currently in a free period. If it is convenient, why not let her participate in the recording of this program?" After saying this, Li Keyi deliberately winked at Lan Yaoxia with a teasing expression.
Mr. Zhang certainly heard the hidden meaning in Li Keyi's words, but he did not point it out directly. Instead, he turned to look at Lan Yaoxia and said with a smile: "My surname is Zhang, and my given name is 'Wei'. If you agree, Mr. Lan, I will do my best to arrange for this artist to be on the show." Then he added: "I guarantee that you will be satisfied, Mr. Lan!"
In Zhang Wei's inherent concept, rich kids like Li Keyi often run entertainment companies and maintain special relationships with the little stars under them. Therefore, he subconsciously included Lan Yaoxia in this group of people. After all, just by letting his artists participate in a program, he can sell a favor to the other party, so why not do it?
