Xia Weilan was assigned by the manager to contact a celebrity. When she learned that the celebrity was Han Yishi, she raised her eyebrows.
When she arrived at the appointed restaurant, it was more like Xia Weilan was treated as an honored guest rather than going there for a negotiation.
"Weilan, sit down and have a meal first. Regarding the cooperation, I'll follow your lead. If I were to put on airs in my uncle's company, my uncle would kill me. You can draw up the contract as you like. I'll go to the company to sign it in a couple of days." Han Yishi looked quite heroic.
Xia Weilan raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Your popularity has risen a lot recently. You're the leading actor in the newly released movies and TV dramas. Well done. Your remuneration is one notch higher than before."
When Xia Weilan had cooperated with Han Yishi before, he was already a popular star. Now he was even more remarkable, a national heartthrob. Many well - known TV dramas had invited Han Yishi to be the leading actor. It was obvious how popular he was.
Han Yishi didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Xia Weilan before. Now he couldn't help but puff out his chest and feel a bit proud. "Well, it's okay. My uncle has cultivated me, and I've also worked hard."
"Weilan, order first." Han Yishi pushed the menu in front of Xia Weilan. His expression was much calmer than before, showing the grandeur of a big star.
Xia Weilan raised her eyebrows. Han Yishi's rise to stardom was well - deserved. He was as lively as a bounding rabbit when active, and had a reserved charm when quiet.
After Xia Weilan ordered the dishes, she noticed that the waiter added an extra set of tableware beside her.
"Is there someone else coming?" Xia Weilan's eyes flickered.
Just then, the door of the room was slowly pushed open. A steady footsteps came from behind her. It was the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground. Hearing this, Xia Weilan immediately guessed who it was.
"Uncle, you're here. Sit down quickly." Han Yishi instantly turned into a well - behaved baby. He stood up straight from his chair.
"Yeah." A deep and sexy voice sounded. Then, the chair beside Xia Weilan was pulled out a bit, and Mo Beichen's tall and noble figure sat down on the chair.
Xia Weilan looked up at him. At the same time, he lowered his eyes and looked at Xia Weilan. His eyes were as deep as the sea, with complex emotions that Xia Weilan couldn't understand.
Xia Weilan sighed and whispered, "Why are you here too?"
"Just passing by." Seeing that Xia Weilan was calm towards him, Mo Beichen felt a bit better and continued, "And I came to see you by the way."
Han Yishi glanced at them. He thought his uncle was really good at telling lies. This dinner was clearly arranged by his uncle, but he still pretended to be late and said he was just passing by.
But Han Yishi also remembered what his uncle had told him, and immediately said, "Uncle, my new movie will be released soon. You must make time to watch it this time. And Weilan, here you are. You must come to support me."
Han Yishi took out the prepared movie tickets from his pocket and gave one to each of them. His eyes were as bright as stars.
Xia Weilan grabbed the movie ticket. Although she had guessed that her and Mo Beichen's movie tickets were for adjacent seats, it was Han Yishi's new movie and it was in the evening. She couldn't not go. "Okay, I will definitely go."
After she said that, the two men at the table felt relieved.
Mo Beichen put the movie ticket into his pocket satisfactorily. His gaze towards Han Yishi softened a bit.
Han Yishi also secretly curled his lips and covered his mouth to snicker.
This was a rare chance for him to help Mo Beichen. Before, it was always Mo Beichen who managed him. Now even Mo Beichen had to ask him for help. This feeling was like finally taking control. It was so great.
After lunch, Mo Beichen wanted to send Xia Weilan back, but she refused.
Mo Beichen looked at her with a deep expression. "Are you still angry with me?"
Just now at the dinner table, Xia Weilan seemed to be in a good mood and even talked to him.
Xia Weilan gritted her teeth. If she said she wasn't angry, it seemed she forgave him too quickly. If she said she was angry, she was afraid Mo Beichen would be disappointed.
Xia Weilan pouted and took out her car keys. "I drove the company's car here."
Seeing this, Mo Beichen breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll ask Xu Wei to drive your car back. I'll send you."
Xu Wei immediately took Xia Weilan's car keys. He was faster than a rocket and drove away directly.
Mo Beichen took Xia Weilan into the car and sent her back himself.
"Grandpa asked us to go back for dinner tonight." Mo Beichen said while driving.
"Okay." Thinking of the old man, Xia Weilan naturally wouldn't refuse.
"I'll pick you up tonight then." Mo Beichen took the opportunity.
Outside the window, there were fluttering snowflakes. It was cold and desolate, but the car was warm. Xia Weilan's heart had already softened. She thought she might have fallen into Mo Beichen's hands. She couldn't even bear to be angry with him.
Xia Weilan secretly glanced at Mo Beichen's serious side - face while he was driving and curled her lips.
In the rear - view mirror, Mo Beichen saw Xia Weilan's suddenly beaming face. He was slightly dazed and almost stopped the car to give her a big hug.
But he knew he still had to do more. Although Xia Weilan had forgiven him, he still felt guilty. He had to make it up to her.
In the evening, when Old Master Mo saw the two of them walking in together, he knew their relationship had been reconciled. He was happy for them.
Mo Donglin came in later. As soon as he came in, he proposed to Old Master Mo, "Grandpa, it's getting late. Can we let Yinyin have dinner now and let her continue kneeling tomorrow?"
After getting Old Master Mo's nod, Mo Donglin immediately ran to the ancestral hall.
"This kid usually seems quite steady, but when it comes to Liu Yinyin, he acts like a hot - headed young man and forgets all the etiquette." Old Master Mo sighed.
Liu Yinyin was helped in by Mo Donglin and a maid. Her legs were so numb that it felt like a thousand ants were crawling on them. Liu Yinyin was in so much pain that her forehead was covered in cold sweat and her face was a bit distorted.
As soon as she entered the hall, Liu Yinyin immediately saw Xia Weilan sitting at the dinner table. She almost spat out a mouthful of pent - up anger.
"Yinyin, are you feeling unwell? Why are your eyes so red?" Mo Donglin was constantly observing Liu Yinyin's condition. Seeing her eyes suddenly turn red and full of hostility, he couldn't help asking.
Liu Yinyin was so angry that she couldn't speak. She didn't dare to say that she disliked Xia Weilan, so she just snorted. "My legs are numb."
Mo Donglin breathed a sigh of relief and helped her sit on the sofa first. Then he reached out to massage her feet to promote blood circulation.
After Liu Yinyin felt better, the two of them sat down at the table together.
At the dinner table, Old Master Mo was asking Xia Weilan about her work in the company.
Xia Weilan gave a so - so answer. "It's okay."
