Chapter 202: Help me peel shrimp
Holding down the phone with his right hand, Ji Mo stretched his finger and pressed the hang-up button, without even listening to Pei Ruoxi’s reaction on the other end.
He hopes that this incident would teach her a lesson, and stop her from doing such stupid things in the future.
He jammed his phone into his pocket, and walked out of the smoking room to return to the private room.
In the private room, the staff of the column group had arrived, and filled four tables. Everyone was discussing the ratings and the online evaluation of the program cheerfully.
After the first episode of Dialogue with God was released, owing to their two heavyweight guests, naturally they also attracted great attention from the media and from all sides.
Early this morning, various reports have swept across various media. Within a few hours, their column climbed to the top of Baidu’s hot search and became the hottest topic of the day.
“Director Ji, sit here!”
When Ning Xiaofei saw Ji Mo, she immediately got up and offered him the seat beside her.
Mu Tianye, who was sitting on her other side, moved his gaze over, and took a deep look at Ji Mo.
In this short while, Zhou Tao had already instructed the waiter to serve. Rich dishes were set on the table in no time, and wine was poured into the glasses.
Mu Tianye raised his glass and stood up.
As soon as he stood up, everyone scrambled and followed suit.
The man lifted his glass lightly, “This glass is a toast to everyone, I wish everyone a happy time at the show. Also, thank you for your care of Xiao Fei.”
In fact, at the show yesterday, everyone has witnessed the interaction between Mu Tianye and Ning Xiaofei. Now that the man has said so, it's already clear that the relationship between the two was nothing ordinary.
Everyone picked up their glasses and Cheng Liang, the deputy director took the lead to speak.
“Mr. Mu is too polite. In fact, we should thank you. Yesterday, your performance at the show was really precious!”
“Yeah, yeah!”
“Mr. Mu is a genius!”
…….
The crowd immediately followed suit.
Mu Tianye's face remained calm without the least bit of waves, nor touched by their flattery.
"Cheers!"
He lifted his glass and emptied it in one shot.
After everyone downed their drinks, Mu Tianye nodded slightly, "Today is for everyone's hard work, no need to be polite."
Ning Xiaofei also smiled and said, “Yeah, don’t be restrained.”
Everyone inevitably spoke a few words and then sat back in their chairs to eat.
During the meal, Mu Tianye didn’t talk much and occasionally ate a couple of dishes. Seeing that this man was not easy to get along with, no one dared to toast.
Midway through the meal, the door to the private room was knocked.
Zhou Tao pulled the door open and Pei Ruoxi stepped in out of the door. She looked around, watching everyone in the room. She bit her lip and slowly walked towards Mu Tianye and Ning Xiaofei.
Upon seeing her, Ning Xiaofei instinctively rose, but Mu Tianye held her back with a hand on her knee.
“Miss Ruoxi is here!” The tables were already full and there was no empty spot, so Deputy director Chen Liang, got up and gave up his seat. “Come … would you like to sit here?”
“No need.” Pei Ruoxi drew a small breath. “I’m here today, just … to apologize to Xiao Fei.”
Noticing the movement on their side, the others, who were eating, drinking and chatting… put down their cutlery and turned to the main table.
Apologize?
Ning Xiaofei glanced down and looked at Mu Tianye. The man’s face was calm, and the palm resting on her knee gently patted her.
“Help me peel shrimp!”next
