At night, the soft and obedient girl was kissed by the big boss in the Beijing circle and cried

Chapter 418 It would have been better to just ask President Gu.

In the evening, Zhao Xuan sent her a status update and a voice message: "Director Zhou is hosting dinner here tonight, but I think you shouldn't get your hopes up too high. You'd be better off trying to win over President Gu."

Lu Shengsheng had no intention of coaxing that bastard. She quickly changed her clothes, put on makeup, and took a taxi straight to a private kitchen in the suburbs.

As I approached the private room, I heard Director Zhou's voice. I took a deep breath, knocked, and entered. "Director Zhou..."

Zhou Qing was both surprised and unsurprised to see her. "Little Lu..."

Lu Shengsheng walked up to him uninvited and stood beside him, saying in a kind tone, "I called your assistant during the day and they said you were busy. I heard you were having dinner here tonight, so I came uninvited. I mainly wanted to talk to you about the role in your new drama."

Zhou Qing remained calm and smiled faintly, "Xiao Lu, you should understand that although I am the director, many things are not up to me. President Gu withdrew his investment, and now I need to attract new investment, otherwise we wouldn't have this dinner tonight."

Anyone sitting at this table could potentially become his future investor.

Lu Shengsheng's smile froze for two seconds, then she pursed her lips and said, "I understand, but I really think I'm quite suitable for this role. Could you..."

The speaker paused, and the meaning was clear.

If he's willing to recommend me to investors, I still have a good chance.

Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly, "Xiao Lu, please don't make things difficult for me..."

Gu Rong has spoken; who dares to oppose him!
Lu Shengsheng's eyes darkened, her small face filled with disappointment. She knew in her heart that the root of the problem was still that bastard Gu Ronghui.

"Zhou Qing, who is this...?" The sudden voice broke the silence of the private room.

Zhou Qing introduced, "Lu Shengsheng is also Mrs. Gu, and this is President Tang."

Lu Shengsheng greeted him politely, "Hello, President Tang."

"So you're Mrs. Gu." President Tang stared at her with a smile: "She's just a leading lady, it's just a matter of a word from President Gu."

Lu Shengsheng bit her lip and remained silent.

Zhou Qing just smiled and remained silent.

Everyone present was shrewd; Lu Shengsheng had even come to Zhou Qing for help, which clearly showed that Gu Ronghui didn't have much affection for this actress.

Mr. Tang suddenly spoke up: "How about this? It's not very interesting to just drink tonight. Let's add a stake. Five million a glass of wine, I'll bet as much as you drink. If it exceeds fifty million, I'll recommend you to Zhou Qing!"

Zhou Qing's first reaction was to refuse, "President Tang, this is not appropriate."

Lu Shengsheng is Gu Ronghui's person after all. If something happens to her, he won't be able to explain it to her.

"What's inappropriate about it?" President Tang said dismissively, glancing at Lu Shengsheng. "Mrs. Gu hasn't said anything yet."

Lu Shengsheng took a deep breath. "I'll drink a glass of wine. If President Tang invests five million, and it exceeds fifty million, he'll recommend me for the female lead?"

Mr. Tang nodded, "Yes."

Lu Shengsheng didn't hesitate for long, "Okay."

The private room was completely silent, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Mr. Tang picked up the useless wine glass in the center of the table, which was specifically for drinking red wine, and poured a full glass of white wine.

The expressions on everyone's faces changed. Even a man couldn't handle a glass of baijiu, let alone Lu Shengsheng, who was a woman.

Zhou Qing's eyes showed worry, "President Tang..."

"Zhou Qing, do you still want to invest?" President Tang interrupted him directly, his words full of threat.

Zhou Qing could only shake his head at Lu Shengsheng helplessly, not wanting her to do anything foolish!

Lu Shengsheng thanked him for his kindness, but had no intention of giving up. Instead, she raised her glass, looked around, and said, "Tonight, all the bosses will have to be my witnesses!"

"Don't worry, I, Tang, always keep my word and will never go back on my word." President Tang raised his head and glanced at her with disdain.

Lu Shengsheng only said three words, "That's good then," picked up her wine glass, tilted her head back, held her breath, and downed it in one gulp. The pungent taste of the baijiu made her cough a few times, looking down. "Five million."

Mr. Tang didn't give her a chance to catch her breath and pushed the second cup over.

Lu Shengsheng glanced at it, picked up the glass, and drank it. "Ten million."

Mr. Tang calmly poured a third glass.

Lu Shengsheng forced herself to swallow the pungent smell of alcohol and drank it again. "Fifteen million."

The fourth cup...

"Twenty million..."

The fifth cup, "Twenty-five million..."

The sixth cup, "Thirty million..."

……

The eighth cup, "Forty million..."

……

The tenth cup, "Fifty million..."

Just as Lu Shengsheng picked up her wine glass to drink her eleventh glass, Zhou Qing couldn't sit still any longer and stood up, saying, "That's enough..."

Drinking any more of that will kill someone.

Mr. Tang's face had turned ashen, and his voice was chilling: "Let her drink it."

Lu Shengsheng felt dizzy and her hand holding the wine glass trembled uncontrollably. Just as the glass reached her lips, she couldn't help but vomit. First, it was baijiu (Chinese liquor), then jaundice, and finally, with a "whoosh," she vomited a mouthful of bright red blood...

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and Zhou Qing anxiously supported her, "Xiao Lu, are you alright?"

"N-nothing..." Before she could finish speaking, Lu Shengsheng's eyes closed, and she collapsed to the ground, blood still lingering at the corner of her mouth...

Zhou Qing, who hadn't managed to catch her, was horrified. "Ambulance! Call an ambulance quickly..."

President Tang sat in his seat, looking down coldly at the unconscious Lu Shengsheng, his expression grim.

Lu Shengsheng woke up in a hospital ward, her stomach burning with pain.

When Zhao Xuan saw that she had woken up, she got up to pour her some water. It was hard to tell whether she was praising or scolding her: "You just drank 50-proof liquor like that? Are you trying to kill yourself? The doctor said you had an acute gastric perforation. Luckily you were brought in in time, otherwise you would have really lost your life."

Lu Shengsheng didn't care about any of that, and instead asked, "What did Director Zhou say? Has President Tang invested?"

“I don’t know. When Director Zhou told me to come, he had already left. He just told me to take good care of you.” Zhao Xuan paused, then added, “I’ve already contacted President Gu’s secretary. He said President Gu is in a meeting and I’ll let him know when the meeting is over.”

Lu Shengsheng frowned. "Why are you looking for him?"

"You're husband and wife, who else should you turn to if not him?" Zhao Xuan glared at her. "You could have just asked President Gu, but you insisted on saving face and suffering for it..."

Lu Shengsheng didn't say anything, but just looked up at her with red eyes.

Zhao Xuan swallowed back the words she was about to say, and sighed helplessly, "Didn't you always want to be a lazy bum and act in idol dramas? Why have you suddenly become so inspirational this time?"

"I haven't made enough money yet, so I can't really solidify my position as the queen of bad movies," Lu Shengsheng said calmly.

Zhao Xuan found it amusing to see how ambitious she was, but she was also troubled by her lack of understanding.

She has a powerful CEO at home who can support her, but she insists on coming out to suffer this!
The door to the ward was pushed open, and Gu Ronghui's gaze fell upon Lu Shengsheng, who was leaning against the hospital bed, her face growing increasingly gloomy.
