Chapter 183 Big Flowers, Let's Get Gu Yang Drunk

"That's it?"

Gu Yang suddenly leaned forward, the two of them so close that they could see the trembling of each other's eyelashes.

His gaze swept over her slightly parted lips, which were trembling with nervousness, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

The leather shoes under the table slowly moved up her calves and gently pressed against the inside of her knees.

On the surface, however, he still held his wine glass, smiling and nodding to Wang Changtian in the distance, as if the secret tug-of-war between the two had never happened.

This rotten embryo!!!

Reba felt her cheeks burning. She stomped on his foot, but he quickly pressed his knee against her leg, firmly fixing her in place.

“If you move again,” Gu Yang’s voice, tinged with the scent of red wine, sprayed into her ear, “others will find out what tricks Mr. Gu and his minority shareholders are playing under the table.”

Reba's nails dug deep into her palms, trying to use the stinging pain to dispel the tingling sensation in her neck.

Gu Yang's hand had somehow wandered behind her and, through the silk skirt, was making faint circles above her tailbone.

He wore a polite smile and nodded to Huang Xiaoming, who was raising his glass in the distance, but the soft chuckle in his throat only touched her burning earlobes.

“The investors’ difficult behavior last week,” he suddenly lowered his voice, pressing his knee under the table forward half an inch, squeezing her legs even tighter, “I heard someone was crying in the break room?”

Before he could finish speaking, a warm palm was already pressed against her taut leg through her stockings...

Dilraba suddenly grabbed the tablecloth, the wine glass scraping loudly on the marble tabletop, drawing a puzzled look from Baby sitting next to her.

Dilraba tensed up, glancing out of the corner of her eye to see Yang Mi looking in their direction.

In a moment of quick thinking, she grabbed the glass of red wine on the table, tilted her head back, and gulped it down, using the swallowing motion to mask the gurgling sounds coming from her throat.

Gu Yang's hand rubbed back and forth underneath.

"How does it taste?" He brought his glass to her lips, the red wine sliding down her chin and dripping onto their intertwined knees. "Would you like to try mine?"

When his lips brushed against her ear, Reba finally couldn't take it anymore, pulled his mischievous hand away, and bit it!
"Ouch~~~!"

Gu Yang's muffled groan of pain silenced the entire room, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes swept over him.

Dilraba's fingers, gripping the napkin, turned white, but he quickly withdrew his hand, smiling as he shook his reddened thumb and forefinger: "This cup was filled too full with ice, and my hand slipped and touched Dilraba's dress. She was in a hurry to help, but it caused a misunderstanding."

He raised his glass in a gesture of respect, the ice clinking crisply. "Looks like I'll have to be punished by offering you all another toast!"

Wang Changtian shook his head with a meaningful smile: "President Gu, you'd better be careful..."

The people around him chuckled a few times and then went back to their own conversations.

As Reba lowered her head to sip her wine, Gu Yang leaned closer again, his lips moving slightly but his voice was only audible to her: "You bit really hard, you'll have to blow on it for me tonight."

At that moment, the glass door suddenly opened again, and Li Bingbing and Zhao Liying entered side by side.

Dilraba sat up straight, "Blow my ass!"

She turned back and winked at him, "Go home and chat with your Zhou Ye or Tian Xiwei!"

Under the crystal chandelier, the low-key gathering gradually reached its climax.

New and old faces from the film and television industry sat in twos and threes, with soft laughter coming from the leather sofa area, and the aroma of whiskey mixed with cigars wafting from the bar area.

Wang Changtian's tapping of the ice bucket was crisp and powerful: "Everyone, the industry is facing a tough year, so we must stick together as one."

He raised his champagne glass, "A toast to sticking together and keeping warm!"

The crisp sound of glasses clinking rang out. Yang Mi swirled her wine glass and raised an eyebrow: "Speaking of which, there's a big historical drama IP coming out recently. Would any of you be interested in talking about it?"

Li Bingbing ran his fingertips along the tulip-shaped rim of the wine glass, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I've heard you have a sharp eye. So you've brought your 'homework' for inspection this time?"

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Liying quietly took a sip of her juice, her gaze sweeping over the corner.

Wang Zhonglei and Sun Zhonghuai were discussing in hushed tones while looking at their phone screens, occasionally frowning and shaking their heads, clearly still arguing over their differences regarding the revenue-sharing model of video platforms.

"What have you been busy with lately, sister?" Baby suddenly put her arm around Li Bingbing's shoulder, the scent of Chanel perfume wafting through the air. "We've made plans for afternoon tea three times already, and you've stood me up every single time!"

Li Bingbing gently patted the back of her hand, his eyes crinkling with laughter: "I've been working on a few international projects. By the way, has Little Sponge grown any taller lately? When are you going to bring him over so Auntie can hold him?"

“Ying Bao, you should also give your opinion!” Baby suddenly turned to Zhao Liying, “They insist that my new drama’s look is too exaggerated. You’ve filmed so many period dramas, what do you think?”

Zhao Liying was slightly taken aback, then revealed her dimples: "Absolutely stunning! Especially the phoenix crown in the wedding scene, the details were absolutely exquisite."

Liu Shishi walked through the crowd, her skirt swaying gently as she stepped into high heels.

She stopped by the wicker chair on the terrace, the moonlight casting a soft glow on her cool, aloof features: "Mr. Gu, are you taking a break here?" Gu Yang put down his wine glass, stood up, and politely pulled out the chair next to him: "Not at all, just getting some fresh air. Isn't Sister Shishi filming lately?"

"I just finished filming a period drama set in the Republican era." As she sat down, she casually tidied the stray hairs behind her ear, her eyes bright. "I've always heard that President Gu's investments have been incredibly successful, and even industry veterans praise your discerning eye."

Changing the subject, she tapped the table lightly with her fingertip, "However, I think that some success depends on more than just vision! For example, I'd like to ask President Gu for advice on the criteria for choosing actors."

Gu Yang raised an eyebrow and chuckled, picking up his wine glass and swirling it: "I wouldn't dare to ask for your advice, Shishi, please speak your mind."

“Everyone says that President Gu only chooses young actresses for roles.” She lowered her eyes and turned the jade bracelet on her wrist. “But I just don’t believe it. A good actor shouldn’t be defined by age.”

Looking up, her eyes were lifeless. "I wonder when I'll be able to collaborate with President Gu?"

The night breeze stirred the green plants on the terrace. Gu Yang looked at her serious expression and suddenly laughed out loud: "There will be a chance!"

What role are they asking you to play?
Is it the Blind Monk?
However, it wouldn't be a bad idea if there were a suitable role available, if she were willing to lower her own status to help promote the younger actress.

Gu Yang had just sat down in the sofa area when he saw Li Bingbing and Zhao Liying walking towards him side by side.

Li Bingbing wore a fitted black dress that accentuated her graceful figure. The simple cut paired with exquisite diamond accessories made her look both capable and elegant.

Zhao Liying wore a white chiffon dress with lace trim at the neckline, which added a touch of sweetness to her look. Her hair was casually tied up, with a few strands falling around her fair neck, making her look gentle and charming.

"Mr. Gu, I've heard so much about you." Li Bingbing greeted him with a smile, his voice clear and pleasant.

"Sister Li, Sister Zhao, please have a seat." Gu Yang quickly stood up and warmly greeted them.

After the three sat down, Li Bingbing picked up his champagne glass, toasted Gu Yang, and said, "Mr. Gu, I've been keeping an eye on Zhou Ye from your company. That girl has an excellent image and temperament, and her acting skills are also very talented. She has a bright future ahead of her!"

Gu Yang smiled modestly: "Sister Li, you flatter me. Zhou Ye's achievements today are inseparable from the team's hard work and everyone's support. I also hope to have more opportunities to cooperate with Sister Bingbing in the future."

Li Bingbing nodded in agreement: "Of course, we've all been working our way up in this industry, and we can only go further by helping each other."

At this moment, Gu Yang looked at Zhao Liying with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Sister Liying, I heard that you and Sister Bingbing have some big plans recently? Are you planning to start a company?"

Li Bingbing and Zhao Liying exchanged a glance, then Li Bingbing smiled and said, "As expected of President Gu, your information network is truly impressive. We do indeed have this plan, and Hesong Media is currently in the preparation stage. We will need to rely on President Gu's guidance in the future."

Zhao Liying nodded slightly and said softly, "Yes, I hope to create a good platform so that more outstanding actors can have the opportunity to showcase themselves."

Yang Mi leaned against the gilded and carved pillar, her fingertips gripping the stem of the champagne glass tightly. She looked at Gu Yang, who was chatting and laughing with Li Bingbing not far away, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.

Liu Shishi, who was standing next to her, followed her gaze and asked softly, "What exactly happened between you and him? After such a big fuss a while ago, you still went to his movie premiere?"

"Isn't everything in the entertainment industry just an act?" Yang Mi laughed self-deprecatingly. "This bastard incited fans to tear apart Jiaxing online, and even poached Dilraba..."

She suddenly stopped, her gaze sweeping over Gu Yang's sharp suit waistline and the cold, pale profile of his face. A meaningful laugh escaped her throat. "But I must say, he's certainly good-looking, has plenty of resources, and makes a lot of money..."

Liu Shishi frowned: "Then what do you want to..."

"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub." Yang Mi's lips, painted with bright red lipstick, curled into a smile. "Shishi, do me a favor. He stole my man, so I'll take his resources."

"Get him drunk first, then talk about cooperation. Look at him, he'll definitely be more lenient when he's had too much to drink."

She swirled her wine glass. "Just to help me vent my anger?"

As Liu Shishi watched Gu Yang and Zhao Liying clink glasses, she recalled the comments from netizens who said her acting skills were not as good as the young actresses in Gu Yang's company, and a sense of resentment arose within her.

Are you sure this trick will work?

"Don't worry, men are..." Yang Mi downed the wine in her glass in one gulp, her bright red lips making her eyes even more alluring. "Even the most astute hunter will be careless when faced with prey that comes to him willingly."

She took Liu Shishi's arm, her silk skirt sweeping the ground. "Come on, let him know first that offending Jiaxing doesn't come easy."

As the two approached, Yang Mi's lips curved into a perfectly timed smile. "President Gu, you've definitely come to the right place at this gathering. Let's just consider those little misunderstandings online from before as nothing more than passing clouds."

She swirled her wine glass. "The industry is only so big. We'll run into each other all the time. It's more interesting to have more collaborations."

"I'll give you a toast!"

Gu Yang smiled and stood up, his glass clinking softly against hers. "Sister Mi, you're so generous. It was all a misunderstanding after all. We can still collaborate on good projects in the future!"

As she sat down beside him, the rich scent of perfume mingled with the aroma of red wine wafted over her. There was only a tiny distance between their shoulders; she could even feel the warmth of his body. "Just clinking glasses is so boring," she said.

She turned her head to look at Gu Yang, "How about we talk about the period drama that Mr. Gu is currently preparing? I heard it's missing a spirited female lead?"

Seeing this, Liu Shishi gracefully moved to sit on the other side of Gu Yang.

The two men, one on each side, surrounded Gu Yang and began to offer him a toast.
