Chapter 325 A Love Across Time and Space, A Modern Movie Queen's Fierce Love - Part 5
I thought to myself, for a newcomer like him to be able to perform so skillfully and without any stage fright in such an important social occasion, if he is carefully nurtured in the future, he will surely become a shining star in the entertainment industry.
Mu Wanwan was about to raise her glass to toast the leaders present, but Kong Yunze instinctively stopped her.
Kong Yunze said softly, "Sister Wanwan, I remember you're not very good at drinking. How about we use soft drinks instead of alcohol today? Let's toast all the leaders together to show our respect." As he spoke, he thoughtfully poured Mu Wanwan a glass of juice.
Mr. Zhang, who had just been all smiles upon hearing the word "beverage," instantly lost his composure.
To put it bluntly, this so-called gathering and dinner was really just a drinking party.
In such a drinking party, simply drinking beverages would be completely against the rules.
Mr. Zhang had already picked up his wine glass, but for some reason, he slowly put it down again.
The director sitting to the side was a master at reading people; his eyesight was exceptionally sharp! With just one glance, he immediately realized that the reason this sugar daddy suddenly became unhappy was most likely because Mu Wanwan resolutely refused to drink.
So the director quickly grabbed the wine bottle and filled Mu Wanwan's glass to the brim, his face plastered with a fawning smile as he kept saying, "Wanwan, come on, come on, quickly toast President Zhang with this glass of wine, just to show your appreciation! Don't spoil everyone's fun!"
It's worth noting that throughout the entire production, Mu Wanwan consistently took great care of Kong Yunze.
They both debuted as actors around the same time, but compared to Mu Wanwan, she knew far more. Therefore, Kong Yunze had long regarded Mu Wanwan as his mentor.
However, an occasion like today is certainly not a friendly one for girls.
They called it a get-together, but in reality, it was just a way to get the girls to come and drink with them.
Although she understood all this in her heart, Mu Wanwan really couldn't refuse the director and President Zhang to their faces.
Helpless, she could only smile slightly, then gently picked up the wine glass in front of her and said softly to Mr. Zhang, "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry, I have a very limited alcohol tolerance. I usually get drunk after just a little bit of alcohol. So I hope you will be magnanimous today and not take offense."
Mr. Zhang finally revealed a satisfied smile, slowly picked up the exquisite wine glass in front of him, lowered his eyes slightly, and glanced at Kong Yunze sitting to the side seemingly unintentionally but deliberately.
Immediately afterwards, he turned around quickly, his face full of a warm smile, and raised his glass to the beautiful and charming Mu Wanwan.
"Oh my, no wonder she's the female lead in our show! She's so smart and sensible!" President Zhang praised Mu Wanwan as he gently clinked his wine glass against hers.
Mu Wanwan, on the other hand, appeared very well-behaved and sensible, quickly lowering her cup slightly to show respect to President Zhang.
After all, she was well aware of even the most basic drinking etiquette.
Mr. Zhang then tossed his head back with a hearty laugh and downed the strong liquor in his glass in one gulp without hesitation.
He gracefully tilted the empty glass downwards, showing everyone that not a drop remained, as he had swallowed it all.
Seeing this, Kong Yunze was naturally not to be outdone. Without saying a word, he picked up his wine glass and downed the strong liquor in one gulp.
He followed Mr. Zhang's example and tilted his cup down to indicate that he had finished drinking.
However, at this moment, Mu Wanwan did not actually intend to finish all the wine. She thought she would just take a small sip as a gesture.
But when she glanced around at the people in the corner of her eye, she found that everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
Especially Mr. Zhang, who had a very serious expression, as if her not drinking was a great disrespect and contempt to him.
"Wanwan, let me drink it for you!" Kong Yunze said, reaching for the cup in Mu Wanwan's hand. Unexpectedly, President Zhang suddenly stood up and slammed his fist on the table. "Director, I don't think this meal is necessary!"
Mr. Zhang glared fiercely at Kong Yunze. There was no reason for him to refuse a toast and have someone else drink it for him. Mu Wanwan quickly apologized.
"Mr. Zhang, I'll drink! I'll drink!"
Mu Wanwan bit her lip tightly, her expression filled with fear and helplessness, as if she were about to walk to the execution ground.
She closed her eyes tightly, as if she had made a great decision, then suddenly raised the wine glass in her hand, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
The spicy liquor slid rapidly down her mouth, burning her throat before finally rushing into her stomach.
The burning sensation spread instantly, making her feel an unbearable heat and discomfort.
Upon seeing this, Kong Yunze's expression changed drastically. He abruptly stood up, seemingly wanting to demand an explanation for Mu Wanwan.
Just as he was about to make a move, Mu Wanwan quickly reached out and grabbed him, gently shaking her head and signaling with her eyes not to act impulsively.
The wine glass in front of Mu Wanwan was refilled, and this time it wasn't just one glass, but several in a row.
It is often said that women are born with a certain tolerance for alcohol, but for Mu Wanwan at this moment, that so-called tolerance for alcohol had already been completely worn away after the previous few drinks.
At that moment, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, her whole body spinning. Finally, she could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the table in distress.
"Wanwan, Wanwan? Don't lie there like that! Look, there's still some wine left in your glass! Come on, let's have a drink together!"
Mr. Zhang, drunk, said something, and before he finished speaking, he stood up from his seat without saying a word, staggered around the table to Mu Wanwan's back, and reached out his hands to try to help her up.
"stop!"
Fu Jinchuan rushed over and saw Mr. Zhang, the investor, reaching out his hand to Mu Wanwan as soon as he entered the door.
Mr. Zhang paused for a moment, then immediately stood up straight. "Boss, you've arrived!"
"If I hadn't come, were you planning to help the lead actress to your house?"
Mr. Zhang was trembling with fear. It was clearly Mr. Fu who had arranged the dinner party, but Mr. Fu was late. He had only been drinking a couple of drinks with the lead actor.
Although he does have this idea, he hasn't put it into practice yet.
"I wouldn't dare, Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Fu Jinchuan took a long stride and walked a few steps to Mu Wanwan's side, then kicked President Zhang to the ground.
Mr. Zhang's previously confused mind instantly cleared up. "I asked you to organize a dinner party, and look what you've done!"
