Chapter Eighty Rules

  "Are you okay?" Yuwen Feng looked at Meng'er's face which was red and almost bleeding, and asked with concern.

  "Then why did you call me here?" Meng'er said in a low voice, then picked up the small cup that Yuwen Feng had exchanged for her, filled it to the brim, "Come on, Yuwen brother! This cup is for you, thank you for your support!"

  Yuwen Feng felt that the girl in front of him, whose delicate skin seemed to reveal her blood vessels, was giving off a contradictory aura. Despite her gentle and harmless appearance, he sensed a sinister energy emanating from her when she mentioned the four words "提携之恩" (repaying kindness). Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine as if there was a cold, ominous presence lurking behind him.

  "Good girl, knows how to repay kindness!" The Li boss opposite clapped his hands and said to Meng Er: "Come on, have a drink with old Li!"

  Meng Er endured the discomfort in her stomach and poured another full cup: "Director Li, you are a magnanimous person, would you mind if Meng Er changed to a smaller cup?"

  "No, no!" Li Zong's eyes narrowed into a slit as he stared at Meng Er and said repeatedly.

  "This cup, Meng'er toasts Li Zong for his tolerance of Meng'er!" Another cup of wine went down the hatch, and Meng'er could no longer make out what Li Zong said afterwards, because the entire atmosphere was overwhelming her, making her feel dizzy!

  She faintly heard someone talking to her, but suddenly her stomach felt uncomfortable and her throat was like something was stuck in it, giving her a feeling of wanting to vomit. She immediately got up and rushed to the right side of the entrance door. As expected, she didn't guess wrong, as soon as she pushed open the door, it was the bathroom!

  The stuff in her stomach was like a dam breaking, rushing out all at once. In an instant, the entire bathroom was enveloped in a foul odor. Meng'er collapsed to the ground, unsure if it was from vomiting too hard, but a hazy mist had risen up in her eyes!

  Feeling refreshed, she stood up and turned on the faucet, splashing cold water on her face. Under the stimulation of the cold water, the abnormal flush that had receded earlier became even more vibrant due to the effect of the alcohol, and at this moment, her entire face was like a lotus flower emerging from the water, tenderly and captivatingly radiant!

  "Knock knock..." After two knocks on the door, Yuwen Feng's voice rang out: "Meng'er, are you okay?"

  "It's nothing!" Meng'er patted her cheek, made a big smile in front of the mirror. Then she used a paper towel to wipe off the water droplets on her face and hands. With steady steps, she opened the door and walked out!

  "Sorry about that, Meng Er is a bit tipsy and has made a fool of herself in front of everyone!" Meng Er bowed deeply to them again!

  "Little girl, you're drinking too fast! Come on, have some food first and we'll chat slowly!" That Zhang boss gestured to the waiter beside Meng Er to serve the dishes.

  Meng'er nodded in thanks and then picked up the dish to eat slowly. From noon till now, except for that apple she had bitten a few times, she hadn't eaten anything yet!

  While Meng was eating, they seemed to have forgotten her existence! Li and Zhang started discussing the current stock market situation, Meng listened in a daze until they turned the conversation to this play...

  "I still think that A Yi is taking a risk this time, filming this drama doesn't make money in the first place, and now there are so many problems! Putting the decision-making power of Emperor Entertainment in his hands really makes one uneasy!" Li Zong glanced at the person eating with their head down, but the people from that drama were lost in their own thoughts and didn't catch the implication behind his words.

  "Yes, but what can be done?" Then, in the residual light of the dream, she saw them shift their gaze to Le Da Gongzi. And Le Da Gongzi was also looking at her at this time, feeling like he had been caught doing something wrong, Meng Er hastily grabbed the cup beside him and gulped it down.

  Cough cough... Meng'er was so choked that tears almost flowed out because the cup contained white wine, not plain water!

  Originally, both Li and Zhang were going to shift their gaze away from Meng Er, but now they couldn't help being completely absorbed in her. Just as one of them was about to speak, the door of the private room opened.

  Meng'er didn't notice anything unusual because she had her back to the door and thought it was just a regular service staff member coming in. It wasn't until she lifted her head and saw everyone staring at the door with shocked expressions that she realized something was off!

  Turning around, she saw the man in a black suit and felt her tear glands swelling up. It seemed like something was about to burst out, was it grievance? Not grievance, look at her enjoying good food and drink, why would there be mist in front of her eyes? Must be smoke!

  In the fog, Meng'er saw him walking towards her, getting closer and closer... She thought: He was still her prince, even if he didn't come riding a white horse! As soon as Meng'er thought of this, she suddenly remembered what Yan'er had told her - that someone who came riding a white horse wasn't necessarily a prince, but could also be Tang Seng!

  The corners of Meng Er's mouth began to curve upwards, but just as the arc was halfway there, it froze in place...

  "Everyone, sorry about this! I need to talk to Yuwen Feng about something, I'll have him come back and apologize later, but for now, I'm going to take my leave!" Then, he dragged Yuwen Feng away!

  Meng'er watched the two people disappear at the door, and then picked up the corner of her mouth again, saying to them: "I think this sweet and sour fish is quite sour, not as delicious as Zhang Jie's cooking at home!"

  "Didn't you hear? Remake it according to Miss Canghai's taste!" The silent Le Dabozi finally spoke up, and the people waiting around him began to bustle about again! "What else does Meng'er like to eat? I'll have them remake it!"

  Meng'er looked at this music-loving young master who would not rest until he had won, and saw a glimpse of Mei'er's shadow. She smiled again: "I still like to eat fragrant taro pastry!"

  "Uh-huh, my sister likes to eat too!" He nodded seriously as if acknowledging the delicious food in Meng's mouth.

  Next to them, two people looked at each other, and for a moment they were stunned. They had never thought that the situation would change like this! They still remembered that Le Dapeng had said something similar to Yuwen Feng before: "I'm not interested in the internal workings of Yihuang Entertainment, what I'm interested in is your new actor, Canghai Meng!" Was his interest in her about food?

  "Peel and steam the taro until it's soft, then mash it. Cut the crackers into fine crumbs and beat the egg. Take equal amounts of the mashed taro and shape into desired forms after coating with starch or flour. Dip in beaten egg and then coat with cracker crumbs. Deep-fry in oil until golden brown! Note that when frying, first use 30-40% oil temperature to set the shape, then increase to golden brown."

  Meng'er smiled coquettishly and the person in front of her finally understood why his sister, who always looked down on him, would mention this person all day long!

  She's really amazing, so different from others! Isn't she? As soon as she came in, she was obviously nervous to death, but she had to pretend to be a person who understood the rules, familiarly pouring wine, and after a few cups, she started vomiting wildly in the toilet. When she saw someone coming and going, she was obviously very sad, and it was obvious that she had knocked over her own vinegar jar, but she said the fish was sour!
