Chapter 211 Zhang Han: President Chen, I was very rude before...

Beijing International Airport.

The crew of "Wolf Warrior 2," who traveled to Africa to film on location, finally wrapped up filming yesterday and returned to China today.

After several months of filming, the crew members were generally several shades darker.

Originally fair-skinned, Reba's skin turned wheat-colored because she couldn't apply sunscreen while filming.

This change made her feel uneasy as she walked out of the VIP passage.

After leaving the airport, the rest of the crew were divided into two groups and boarded the cars that came to pick them up. Dilraba was about to get in when Xiong Ben gestured for her to sit in the last black van. At that moment, her nervousness reached its peak.

When she arrived at the van, Dilraba was about to pull the door open when it opened first, and a hand with long, slender wrists and distinct knuckles was extended in front of her.

"Welcome back."

Reba looked at the person in the car following the sound, and her lips unconsciously pursed.

Chen Xiu turned her head to look at Dilraba, who was wearing sunglasses and a mask, and said helplessly, "If you don't come up soon, our fans will see us."

"Oh oh, here I come."

Reba grasped Chen Xiu's hand, took a big step into the carriage with her right foot, and pushed off with her left foot, pressing herself tightly against Chen Xiu's body.

The car door slowly closed, and as she felt the car moving, Reba hugged Chen Xiu's arm, her cheeks gradually warming up.

Chen Xiu nodded to look at Reba, who was snuggling up to her like a kitten. Just as she was about to pull down Reba's mask, Reba grabbed her hand first.

"what happened?"

"Brother Xiu, I've become ugly..."

Seeing Reba suddenly become sullen, Chen Xiu frowned and thought for a moment: "Weren't you fine when we video chatted last week?"

"Hmm~, back then, I put on a really thick layer of concealer..."

"Oh, I was wondering why the video was lagging... Do you have acne?"

"No, I am, I am..."

The more anxious Reba became, the less she could explain herself. Seeing Chen Xiu's increasingly puzzled look, she made a snap decision and pulled down her mask.

"I've gotten darker."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu almost burst out laughing, but thankfully she managed to hold it in.

He pursed his lips, carefully examined the lower half of Dilraba's face, then reached out to remove her sunglasses, revealing the upper half as well.

The face, full of exotic charm, was now frowning and pouting, its eyes filled with grievance. As for skin color... Chen Xiu didn't think there was any difference.

"I think it looks pretty good."

"Huh? Really?"

"Yup!"

Chen Xiu pinched Reba's cheek: "Your face looks better when it's chubby. You were almost skinny, how come you've gained all that baby fat back?"

"I lost weight because I ate salads. When I was filming in Africa, I ate too many carbs, and then I gained weight..."

"Where's the fat?"

"On the face, waist, and abdomen, and..."

Reba suddenly stopped eating, her face as red as the sunset. Based on where she was pointing, Chen Xiu visually estimated that she had indeed "gained" a little weight. The exact amount would be determined by measuring her that evening.

"Let me weigh you first."

"How should I address you? Oh dear!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Reba felt herself being picked up by Chen Xiu and sitting on his lap.

"Yes, I have gained a little weight and I look more voluptuous."

Leaning against Chen Xiu's chest, Reba swayed and said, "Brother Xiu, do you want to..."

"We'll talk about it when we get home after we finish your welcome dinner."

Hearing Chen Xiu's voice deepen, Reba stopped her funny actions and covered her mouth to chuckle.

"Hehe, actually I miss you too."

What are you thinking about me?

"I thought of you all night long, from night to day..."

"Pshaw! You talk as if you can go without a break in between."

Reba's face turned a deep red, like the color of the setting sun, but in his heart he felt that the savings he had accumulated over the past six months should be enough to fight Chen Xiu all night long!
……

"Come on, everyone! You've all worked hard these past few months. Let me start by raising a toast to you all."

In the hotel's private room, at a large round table, Chen Xiu raised her glass and offered the first toast to the main actors of "Wolf Warrior 2" gathered at the table.

As an investor, he had no obligation to host a welcome party for the film crew.

However, considering that Dilraba and Xiong Ben were on set, Chen Xiu was originally going to pick them up, and then Wu Jing agreed to make a free cameo appearance in "Qin Wang Po Zhen Qu".

Chen Xiu then took the opportunity to treat everyone to the meal.

When he drank this glass of wine, the rest of the crew didn't just watch; they all raised their glasses and drank along with him.

For some reason, Zhang Han, who was sitting on the side and was not particularly noticeable, was ashen-faced and drank his wine with trepidation.

Chen Xiu put down his wine cup, watched everyone drink, and said with a smile, "Today I have specially prepared three boxes of Maozi. Everyone, please eat and drink to your heart's content, and don't be shy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Han shuddered first, while Wu Jing cheered. "Great! When I was filming in Africa, I only had one day of drinking my fill, but the rest of the time I didn't touch a drop of alcohol. Today I can finally have some fun!"

Chen Xiu asked curiously, "Which day is the day you can have fun alone?"

"Oh, it's just..."

Just as Wu Jing was about to answer, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

He gave Chen Xiu an apologetic smile, and when he took out his phone to check it, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"Um, Mr. Chen, I need to go out and take this call."

"Alright, go ahead. Remember to come back after you finish the call!"

"I'll definitely be back. I'm going to drink my fill today."

Wu Jing agreed, then quickly left the private room with her phone in hand.

When he left, Zhang Han's face had turned somewhat pale, and the way he kept glancing at Chen Xiu was filled with panic and unease.

How did I end up meeting Chen Xiu?
The question popped into Zhang Han's mind, and he thought to himself: Does he still remember what happened on the set of "God of War Zhao Yun" 15 years ago, and is he deliberately coming to cause trouble for me? If not, then why did he specifically bring up the three boxes of Maozi? He must still be holding a grudge against me!
"Come on, Big Bear, let me toast you. 'Wolf Warrior 2' is your first film as a producer. When the movie is released, I'll host a special celebration for you!"

"Boss, when I was the producer of 'Detective Chinatown,' you didn't host a banquet for me!"

"No? I remember there was!"

"I remember having it too!"

Watching Chen Xiu interact with Xiong Ben and Wei Feng, Zhang Han couldn't help but recall the scene at the beginning of the month when Xiong Ben forced him to drink as an apology.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

That night, after finishing a bottle of turkey, he went back to his room and vomited three times while sitting next to the toilet. When he regained some consciousness, he realized that he had been sitting next to the toilet for four hours...

Zhang Han felt that if he didn't take the initiative, and Chen Xiu finally asked for it, this time it probably wouldn't be over with just one bottle of wine.

Thinking of this, Zhang Han first poured himself a full glass, then stood up.

At the dinner table, everyone is seated, but when you suddenly stand up, everyone will habitually stop to look at you.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Zhang Han picked up his wine glass, trying his best to make his smile appear sincere and humble.

"Mr. Chen, I was very rude before. I'll offer this drink as an apology!"

After saying that, Zhang Han picked up his wine glass and downed the wine in one gulp.

Just as he was marveling at how cool his move was, Chen Xiu, who was holding a wine glass, suddenly asked, "Have we met before?"

"what?"

"You mean before? How long ago was that? I don't seem to remember. Could you tell me?"

"Forehead……"

Zhang Han held the wine glass, lost in thought, and for a moment didn't know how to answer.

He wondered if Chen Xiu was pretending not to remember.

Since Chen Xiu's identity was revealed, Zhang Han's memory of his encounter with the "God of War Zhao Zilong" crew has become exceptionally clear; he even remembers Chen Xiu's expression at the time.

Judging from his own experience, Zhang Han thought: He remembered it so clearly, so Chen Xiu should have some impression of it too. So what's going on with him acting like he doesn't remember at all?

Seeing Zhang Han staring blankly, seemingly oblivious to the question, Chen Xiu patiently asked again, "Has anything happened between us?"

"Back in 15, when I visited Nezha on the set of 'God of War Zhao Yun,' we had a little argument..."

Zhang Han figured that since he was already standing up, instead of worrying about it later, he might as well explain the problem clearly once and for all, since there was nothing wrong with talking about it.

However, even though he put it very tactfully, everyone else in the room filled in many other blanks based on his words.

Reba looked at Chen Xiu with shining eyes. If there weren't so many people around, she would have asked when Chen Xiu and her fellow villager started dating.

Excuse me for interrupting!

Finally remembering what had happened, Chen Xiu raised her hand to stop Zhang Han from narrating.

He just said he didn't remember, and he really didn't, because he didn't see Zhang Han much when he was on the set of "God of War Zhao Yun," so his impression of him wasn't deep to begin with.

Then, everything Chen Xiu encountered in her daily life was more important than her meeting with Zhang Han, so naturally she paid even less attention to it.

If Zhang Han hadn't mentioned it today, he probably would never have remembered what happened that day until he died. Now that he thinks about it, he realizes that Zhang Han's account was actually a bit fabricated.

"I remember, the situation was that I didn't want to talk to you, and then you kept pestering me, so I just gave you a few perfunctory replies, right?"

"Yes, that's true."

"You don't need to take this to heart. My attitude wasn't very good at the time, but that's because I didn't care about it. Apologies are out of the question. Please sit down."

"Oh well."

Zhang Han slowly sat down, feeling even worse now.

His brief interruption did not affect the atmosphere at the table, and everyone continued eating and drinking as usual.

The noise at the dining table gradually subsided only when Wu Jing returned and solemnly gestured for everyone to be quiet.

Before everyone had completely quieted down, Wu Jing took his phone and came to Chen Xiu's side, saying, "President Chen, President Ma would like to have a word with you."

"Which Mr. Ma?"

Wu Jing was taken aback, and immediately realized that Chen Xiu knew both of the horses.

"Mr. Ma from Hangzhou..."
