Chapter 337: 306 Vest, Can’t Hide It (2 more updates)_1

The dinner was at Ouyang Chen’s Xinghua Hall.

There was a private room reserved for Lu Han, which Ouyang Chen occasionally used to entertain some valuable friends as well.

Ouyang Chen wasn’t at Xinghua Hall today, so when the duty manager saw Lu Han, he respectfully welcomed them all inside.

Bai Dingxian also came over to mooch a meal.

Lu Han frowned, "How did you get here?"

"Can’t I come?" Bai Dingxian retorted.

"Did I invite you? You just show up, you’ve got some thick skin," Lu Han would only tease him when he was in a good mood.

"Of course, you’ve invited both of them, why exclude me?"

"I invited them because Tang Su’s little uncle wanted to see them; he might not want to see you."

"???"

So, they had some business to discuss?

"Then I’ll just go eat in the main hall," Bai Dingxian was not the type who lacked self-awareness. He originally thought this was just a dinner gathering, unaware that they actually had serious matters to handle.

"Since you’re already here, just come with us. Besides, once they start talking, you won’t understand anyway."

Bai Dingxian felt insulted. How dare he underestimate him?

How would he not understand?

The moment the group sat down in the private room, Su Yangming arrived with Tang Feng, who had no other plans.

Since everyone knew each other, the meal went by without any awkwardness.

Su Yangming brought flowers for the two ladies present—identical bouquets of sunflowers paired with pink roses and lilies, arranged by the florist to his specifications.

For the gentlemen, he brought a case of fine wine.

The reason for bringing Tang Feng was to use him as a porter. Tang Feng carried in the heavy case of wine, while Su Yangming held the bouquets.

"Thank you, Mr. Su," Bai Simen said, thanking Su Yangming as she accepted the flowers.

When she was abroad, working to earn money for her child’s milk powder, she had collaborated with Su Yangming’s company right before changing jobs. As a representative, she had met Su Yangming.

It was just so unexpected that Su Yangming turned out to be Tang Su’s little uncle.

It just goes to show, sometimes the world can be really small.

"Not at all, Miss Bai," Su Yangming remembered Bai Simen as well.

Others: "..."

Su Yangming offered an explanation, then smiled and said to Bai Simen, "Miss Bai is now my senior in business, so I’ll have to ask for your guidance in the future."

"Please don’t say that, Mr. Su. As Tang Su’s little uncle, you’re also my elder," she replied.

"In age, perhaps, but in business, I’m a newcomer," Su Yangming said with modesty.

"You’re too modest," she demurred.

"Let’s sit and chat," Bai Dingkai beckoned, and with a pull of his hand, he seated Bai Simen next to him.

Bai Simen didn’t want to sit next to him, but Lu Han and Tang Su had already cozied up together, and she didn’t want to impose on them at this point.

Bai Dingxian didn’t care; he settled himself close to Lu Han and Tang Su but kept a respectful distance from the couple.

"You guys do your talking, we’ll just focus on eating," Lu Han said to the three of them.

Su Yangming was also a big shot in the industry, and since everyone present was younger, he bore the title of an elder.

Today at the club, Bai Dingkai was very satisfied with Tang Su upon meeting his grandfather. In order to make the old man happy and also to restrain the increasingly uncontrollable Bai Simen, Bai Dingkai invited Su Yangming to collaborate on "First Love".

Su Yangming actually wanted to propose the idea of co-producing "First Love". After all, it was Tang Su’s first signed IP creation, which was quite meaningful.

He understood Tang Su, so if he could participate, it would kill several birds with one stone. He could learn something, and it would also mark the first collaboration between uncle and nephew.

"Really?" Su Yangming took out a bottle of Maotai from the box he brought and personally poured drinks for them.

"Yeah, of course, you are the uncle after all," Bai Dingkai nodded, "Thank you, Uncle, for pouring the drink for me personally. I’m a bit embarrassed."

"There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, it’s the least I could do."

"Bai Simen, didn’t you say the other day that you got in touch with the original author of ’First Love’? You also said they were in Beijing. How about it, when are you meeting them?" The female lead still hadn’t been decided, and Bai Dingkai didn’t approve of the newcomer recommended by Bai Simen.

The one Bai Dingkai chose, Bai Simen didn’t approve of either.

Thus, because of the selection of the female lead, they parted on bad terms.

Bai Simen originally didn’t want to bother the original creator; since the beginning of her contact with the author, she knew the person was straightforward.

Motivated by profit, not fame.

As long as the payment was sufficient, the author didn’t care how the capital was operated or how the creation was extended.

But Bai Dingkai stubbornly insisted that she should dig out the original creator so that she could see which actress they selected and decide who was more suitable for the female lead.

Being part of the Bai Family for many years and dealing with Bai Dingkai for a long time, Bai Simen knew that once this man became stubborn, no one could do anything about him.

Moreover, this had been delayed for quite a while, and he seemed not to care about the cost of time at all.

"Soon, the author has already agreed to it. It’s just that they’ve had some family matters these past two days. I should at least give them some time to breathe, shouldn’t push too hard."

"What kind of family matters? That’s such a worn-out excuse, okay? You’re the only one naive enough to believe them..."

"Cough, cough, cough, no, Mr. Bai, Miss Bai is telling the truth." Before Bai Dingkai could finish speaking, Su Yangming who had realized who they were talking about, quickly defended Tang Su.

"Uncle, do you know ’The Eccentric Flower’?" Bai Dingkai frowned and then looked over at Lu Han, thinking of something.

Could it be...

"I do, but your description isn’t very polite. How is she an ’eccentric flower’?" Su Yangming didn’t understand where Bai Dingkai’s description of Tang Su came from.

"Other authors, if they could have their novels made into TV shows or movies, would be very eager and cooperative. But this ’eccentric flower’ really is something I’ve never encountered before. Once she got the money, she disappeared without a trace."

"It’s as if the work was a child she abandoned. Such a heartless motherly instinct, isn’t that eccentric?"

"Hey, Uncle Tang Su, since you know her, why don’t you help us arrange a meeting with her? We’re currently deadlocked on finalizing the female actress. Director Bai and I are at an impasse, but we’ve agreed to lay out the actresses we have selected and let the original creator choose. Whoever they pick, we will use."

"..."

Is this how casual they are?

Su Yangming glanced over at Tang Su.

Tang Su had heard their conversation about her and then saw her uncle’s glancing over. She knew that everyone seated in this private room was a trusted person.

Moreover, she hadn’t expected that "First Love" would be stuck on finalizing the female actress.

She indeed didn’t want to meddle in their capital operations, but fate was so strange; the client was someone Lu Han knew, and they were related to her in the future.

This little pseudonym of hers was probably not going to stay hidden much longer.

If she wasn’t honest tonight, and they found out later, they would definitely blame her even more.
