" Director Yan, let me toast you." Xie Tongchu had barely sat down when he stood up, glass in hand, looking at Yan Shengting with adoration. "You don't know, you're my favorite director. I've seen all your films. I always thought that if I could work with Director Yan even once in my life, it would be a dream come true. I never expected it to happen so soon. I'm really looking forward to learning from Director Yan after joining the crew. I'll drink this one first."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp.
Yan Shengting seemed quite pleased with these words, his face beaming with smiles. He raised his glass and said to Xie Tongchu, " Tongchu, I still have high hopes for you. You're a talented and smart guy. Keep up the good work, you have a bright future ahead of you!"
"Then I'll take your kind words!" Xie Tongchu sat down with a smile. Whether it was intentional or not, he glanced at Lu Chiyan before sitting down, his eyes carrying a hint of provocation.
However, Lu Chiyan didn't get it at all.
Because I didn't see it.
After sitting down, Lu Chiyan kept his head down and ate. Apart from glancing at the dishes on the table, he didn't look at anyone else, so he naturally didn't know that Xie Tongchu had just looked at him.
"Sigh!" Gu Xia'an sighed softly from the side.
Xie Tongchu dragged her in!
The male lead toasted the director; as the female lead, wouldn't it be inappropriate for her not to offer a toast in return?
It made her seem very impolite.
So Gu Xia'an could only pick up her glass and stand up, saying to Yan Shengting, " Director Yan, I'd also like to toast you. It's been an honor to work with you this time."
She wasn't a good drinker, so she couldn't down a drink like Xie Tongchu; she just took a sip as a token gesture.
Yan Shengting nodded and took a sip like Gu Xia'an: "You're the first actor I cast. I have a lot of confidence in you. The moment I saw you, I knew you were the perfect fit for this role."
"Thank you for your Director Yan," Gu Xia'an said with a smile. "I will work hard."
After speaking, Gu Xia'an glanced at Lu Chiyan, who was still eating beside her. Seeing that Lu Chiyan had no reaction at all, she was speechless.
No way, buddy, you're seriously huge!
The male and female leads started rolling their hair, and the other supporting actors naturally followed suit, standing up one by one to pay their respects to the director.
Gu Xia'an grew anxious and poked Lu Chiyan.
"What?" Lu Chiyan finally looked up at Gu Xia'an, a small chicken leg still dangling from his mouth.
Gu Xia'an gave a signal with her eyes.
what?
What do you want me to do?
Can't you see everyone toasting the director?
Even if you're just going through the motions, you have to offer a toast!
"Oh." Lu Chiyan finally realized what was happening. After putting down the chicken leg, he wiped his hands, poured himself a glass of wine, and stood up.
To his surprise, just as he stood up, he heard Xie Tongchu say, "I've heard that Teacher Lu has a high alcohol tolerance, I wonder if that's true."
Lu Chiyan: "???"
I heard?
Who told you that?
Are we even acquainted? You've only heard about it?
"It's fake. Teacher Xie, I've debunked it! Rumors shouldn't be believed!" Lu Chiyan replied.
"Is it a rumor, or does Teacher Lu look down on me and refuse to tell me the truth?" Xie Tongchu asked.
Lu Chiyan: "???"
" Teacher Xie, please don't talk nonsense. I'm toasting Director Yan Teacher Xie, what does it have to do with whether I respect you or not?" Lu Chiyan said, looking at Yan Shengting, "Since it's a toast to Director Yan, even if I'm not a good drinker, I'll still finish this glass. Thank you, Director Yan, for giving me this opportunity."
After saying that, Lu Chiyan downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.
