A gentle breeze brushed past Zhang Lan's face and blew against her delicate skin. She was a woman in her thirties who had worked in the government for many years. Zhang Lan's temperament was reserved, but it was definitely attractive.
"Director Zhang, I'll be waiting for you in the car. Just let me know if you need anything, "the driver said meticulously, nodded to Xiao Zheng, and left.
"Wow. You've been promoted to director? "Xiao Zheng pretended to exaggerate. "A director who's not even thirty years old. Class monitor, you're riding a rocket."
"Deputy." Zhang Lan rolled her eyes at Xiao Zheng. "Me? I can only do some clerical work. I won't be able to get those high-value positions."
Xiao Zheng knew that Zhang Lan was being modest, but he didn't mind. He just smiled and said, "You're also good at being a deputy. In the future, you'll be transferred to the grassroots level. You'll be the head of a county. "
Zhang Lan smiled and said, "It's not that easy." After a pause, she pursed her lips and smiled. She paused and smiled, "What about you? I heard from a few old classmates that you're doing well now. You're even on the news. When are you going to take care of me? "
"Hey, don't listen to them." Xiao Zheng waved his hand and smiled. He guessed that Zhang Lan didn't know why he was on the news, but he didn't point it out. He just smiled and said. "It's cold outside. Let's go in. Without the representative of the SARFT, those big shots in the film industry won't dare to be presumptuous. "
Zhang Lan shook her head helplessly. She knew Xiao Zheng's temper, so she didn't say anything. The two walked into the hotel side by side.
The dinner was arranged in a lobby of the hotel. There were no less than twenty tables. Because it was slightly official, other than the designated media, few reporters could sneak in.
There weren't many media, but there were many big names in the industry. Xiao Zheng had seen close to ten of them on TV and the internet. Even the popular Lu Qi 'er was invited to attend. It was a dazzling gathering of stars.
After entering the lobby, before Xiao Zheng could stand still, two well-dressed middle-aged men walked towards him. However, it was not for Xiao Zheng, but for Zhang Lan.
"Welcome, Director Zhang. Apologies for not going out to meet you." One of the middle-aged men said very respectfully. He shook hands with her and asked about her well-being. He was very considerate.
However, Xiao Zheng could tell that this was not a man's consideration for a woman. Instead, it was the consideration a subordinate had for his superior.
It couldn't be helped. After all, Zhang Lan was in charge of the entertainment industry. Even if his rank was not too high, his authority was not that great either. But that little bit of power was enough to give most of the big shots in the film industry a headache.
Since Xiao Zheng was working in Xin Ao, he rarely appeared in public. In addition to his work, he also took a very high-end route. Just like the Longfeng Restaurant, there were not many VIPs, but each one had a greater background than the other. But this also caused many outsiders to not know Xiao Zheng, except for a very small number of people in the circle. Many of them had seen Xiao Zheng on TV before.
But how many of them could associate the burly man in military uniform on TV with this kind and smiling young man in front of them?
You see the president on TV every day, but if the president was really thrown in front of you, would you dare to admit it? Would you believe it?
Xiao Zheng was also quite tactful. He knew that this was not his home field, so he simply went around to the side and sat down at the place that Zhang Lan had designated in advance.
Zhang Lan chatted with four or five groups of people for nearly 20 minutes before she came to Xiao Zheng's side with a calm expression. She smiled bitterly and said, "They are all people in the circle that I have dealt with before. It's not good to reject them. "
Xiao Zheng took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Zhang Lan and said with a smile, "You have an important position and hold their lifeline. I also want to find out some insider information from you. What about those who want to curry favor with you? "
Zhang Lan took a sip of tea and thanked him before she said slowly, "Will you die if you don't tease me a little?"
As she said that, she even lightly pouted at Xiao Zheng.
At first, she was still talking in a bureaucratic manner with outsiders, but now, she was full of femininity. Xiao Zheng hurriedly averted his gaze and coughed dryly, "Old classmate. "Old classmate, those big stars don't want to come and greet you? They are too arrogant! They have to clean up after this. "
Zhang Lan explained, "The SARFT strictly forbids officials from directly interacting with celebrities. You also know that once it's linked with benefits, it's easy to breed corruption. "
"And those big shots don't lack money, right?" Xiao Zheng smiled with his eyes squinted.
Zhang Lan's words did not go too far, and it was not convenient for her to talk further with Xiao Zheng.
"Apart from tonight's gathering within the circle, some of the celebrities will also take out some of their personal belongings for a charity auction. Xiao Zheng, do you have any celebrities that you like? At that time, you can choose something to bid for and leave an impression in the circle. "Zhang Lan smiled. "I heard that your Xin Ao is also developing into the film industry. Can you say something?"
"I can't." Xiao Zheng waved his hand and smiled. "That's Xin Ao's core project for the next few years. It's not up to me to intervene. "
Zhang Lan heard him and nodded lightly. Because Xin Ao had already established itself in the film industry, Zhang Lan more or less knew about Xin Ao's current market value.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the youngest celebrity enterprise in Yan Jin. Xiao Zheng might be capable, but he was still too young to be one of Xin Ao's top executives or even a decision-maker.
Back then, Xiao Zheng was only a vice-captain of the security department. Even if he was to skip ranks, he would not be able to do it so quickly.
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Zheng saw a few familiar faces from the corner of his eyes. But then, he saw a young man's face. However, it caused a wisp of coldness to arise on the corners of his mouth.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Lan's observation skills were top-notch, and she quickly noticed the subtle changes on Xiao Zheng's face.
"Do you know that person?" Xiao Zheng raised his hand and pointed. His movements were not big.
"Qin Dong?" Zhang Lan followed Xiao Zheng's finger and looked over. Soon, she frowned slightly.
The young man named Qin Dong was chatting with a gentle and beautiful woman. She looked at the beautiful woman's expression, and she seemed to be against it. She just didn't want to expose him.
"Qin Dong? What's his background? "Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed.
Zhang Lan couldn't figure out what was on Xiao Zheng's mind, but she could see that Xiao Zheng was angry.
Besides, the two hadn't seen each other for two years, and she had no idea how far Xiao Zheng's relationship had progressed.
Was he still in the honeymoon phase?
Or had they broken up?
Regardless of which state he was in, the emotions that Xiao Zheng revealed at this moment were all normal reactions.
Not to mention that the beautiful woman was so glamorous. If it were any other man, they would probably place it in their heart and be reluctant to part with it, right?
"He's the young master of the top film company in the country. He's well-resourced and has a strong background. He's also close to one of our top executives. "Zhang Lan furrowed her brows, but she was worried. "Xiao Zheng. You'd better not fight with him. This is a public occasion. He can't do anything. "
