Chapter 842 Fiancée

Chapter 842 Fiancée

Qin Jiangye is to Ning Dao's left.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tan walked towards the seat next to Qin Jiangye.

Seeing her like this, Director Ning didn't know what to say.

Personally, he preferred Qin Jiangye and Lin Tan, so he naturally wouldn't object. From a business perspective, Qin Jiangye was the biggest investor in the production.

Refusing to give investors face is like throwing money away.

"Boss," Lin Tan greeted.

"Sit down." Qin Jiangye pulled out a chair for her, looking every bit the gentleman. "Just treat this as a regular meal, no need to be so formal."

Even so, Lin Tan still politely said, "Thank you, boss."

Qin Jiangye was, after all, her boss.

Whether outside or at the company, he was her boss.

"This is the first time I've seen CEO Qin care about someone so much," someone at the table said, with a hint of teasing. "Is it really just an artist from the company?"

Qin Jiangye smiled and glanced at Huo Sinian, whose expression remained unchanged: "Guess."

"It seems not."

"Is she a close female friend?"

"Eat your food," Qin Jiangye said without explanation. "The food will get cold if you don't eat soon."

Everyone knew he didn't want to talk about it, so they didn't say anything more.

Qin Jiangye is not well-known in other industries, but he still holds a certain status in the entertainment industry.

Everyone knows he is the third young master of the Qin family.

He also knew that there was a loving old man named Qin.

Even though his company isn't the biggest, people still give him face.

"Come on, everyone, let's have a drink and wish this show a huge success."

"Which of Director Ning's films hasn't grossed billions at the box office?"

"drink!"

In just a short while.

Lin Tan drank three cups.

Just as she was thinking about having some food, Fang Shi'an stood up with a wine glass in his hand: "Lin Tan, let's toast all the CEOs together. Without their investment, there would be no two of us, the male and female leads."

Lin Tan picked up her wine glass and stood up.

Join him in offering a toast.

From Qin Jiangye to Huo Sinian, and then to other investors and producers.

Seeing that she had drunk several glasses in a short time, Qin Jiangye leaned back in his chair and whispered to her, "If you can't drink it, then don't. Your boss is the biggest investor in this movie, after all."

"It's okay, I can drink it." Lin Tan smiled slightly, feeling a warmth in her heart.

Actually, such dinner parties are quite normal in this circle.

The seemingly glamorous celebrities and actors are actually the ones offering toasts and compliments at dinner parties.

She wasn't a good drinker at first.

But at least I've filmed a few movies and learned a thing or two.

"Director Ning, this toast is for you." Fang Shi'an began again.

Lin Tan also followed suit and offered a toast.

Compared to Fang Shi'an's vague and unrealistic words, Lin Tan's words were more pleasing to the ear.

She exaggerated a little, which was just the right amount of praise.

It won't feel like an exaggeration; it will only make people feel comfortable listening to it.

No.

After several rounds.

Everyone at the table was flattered by Lin Tan's words.

"Mr. Qin, your company's Lin Tan is truly a captivating beauty, a woman who makes one want to pluck her. I wonder if you would be willing to part with her?" one of the investors suddenly spoke up, his face flushed from drinking, his eyes becoming hazy and unfocused.

Qin Jiangye remained unfazed, still maintaining his carefree and nonchalant demeanor.

"I'm smitten by her beauty." He happened to be sitting next to Lin Tan and reached out to grab her hand. "If I had someone this beautiful by my side every day, I would be so happy."

After saying that, he moved his body closer and closer to Lin Tan.

Just as Qin Jiangye was about to pull Lin Tan towards him to stop that groping hand from touching her, someone was faster than him.

"Clang!"

The wine glass landed precisely in that person's hand.

The man screamed in pain, his face pale as he looked up at the table: "Who!"

"Me," Huo Sinian said calmly.

The anger on the man's face vanished instantly, replaced by a fawning smile: "So it's President Huo." He then turned his gaze to Lin Tan beside him: "Didn't you see President Huo dropped his wine glass? Go get another one."

"President Liu." Huo Sinian rested his hand on the table, his emotions barely discernible behind his glasses.

Mr. Liu bowed and scraped, saying, "No need to be so polite, just call me Uncle Liu."

Huo Sinian: "That was just a cup. Next time, we'll use something else."

In short.

The atmosphere at the table instantly soured.

Everyone realized that Huo Sinian had a special relationship with Lin Tan.

"I'm not one to hold back when I strike," Huo Sinian said. "If I accidentally make it so that you can never lift that hand again, I can only offer a token apology."

"What do you mean?" How could General Manager Liu not understand the threat he was being made to?

Because of the Huo Group's position in the business world, he treated him with respect.

But such provocation is a blatant disregard for his dignity.

"It means there are some people you can't mess with." Huo Sinian's gaze swept across Lin Tan's face, his tone unchanged. "I have a bad temper, and it's common for my hands to slip up."

"You're going to go against me for the sake of a woman like this?" President Liu never expected him to be so direct.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen people arguing over women at the dinner table.

But this was the first time they'd gone so far as to utter harsh words.

"I forgot to introduce her, she's my fiancée." Huo Sinian stood up from his chair as he spoke, and slowly walked towards Lin Tan's seat, finally stopping beside her.

"You should be glad you didn't touch her just now." As Huo Sinian spoke, he picked up the chopsticks next to him and pried Liu's hand, which was very close to Lin Tan's, away. "Otherwise, your hand would be ruined."

The words that were on the tip of Mr. Liu's tongue were swallowed back, and a wave of fear welled up in his heart.

fiancée?

If that's true, then it's normal for him to get so angry.

"You...you two are engaged?" Director Ning was the most shocked.

The others were also surprised.

Fang Shi'an was even more shocked.

It seems that no one expected that someone with no family background would be involved with the Huo family.

“We…” Lin Tan was about to explain.

“We are.” Huo Sinian interrupted her, giving Secretary Ye, who was standing next to him, a look.

A short while later.

Mr. Liu was thrown out of the private room by Secretary Ye.

The chair he sat in and the bowls and chopsticks he used were replaced with new ones.

Huo Sinian calmly sat down next to Lin Tan.

"She proposed last year." Huo Sinian said, his gaze falling on Lin Tan. "But we had some disagreements recently, and she wanted to break up with me. She's pursuing me now."

Lin Tan glared at him.

Because the people here were all of high status, she didn't speak as she would in private. She simply said after seeing Mr. Liu being thrown out, "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for helping me out of this predicament, but saying that we are engaged is too much of a sacrifice for you."

Everyone: ?

What's going on?

"I didn't realize President Huo was so loyal." Qin Jiangye also spoke up, a smile playing on his lips. "Lin Tan, toast President Huo to thank him. To help you out of that predicament, President Huo deliberately created the persona of his fiancée."

"What do you mean?" Director Ning was the first to ask.

Others were curious too.

However, he dared not say so because of Huo Sinian's status.

"Lin Tan is an artist in my company," Qin Jiangye said casually, noticing Huo Sinian's gaze fixed on him. "She has no other identity."

Director Ning: "Then, how about proposing?"

Qin Jiangye: "It's fake."

The producer looked at Huo Sinian: "Really?"

Huo Sinian said unhurriedly, "She accepted my ring, do you really believe it?"

Everyone's attention then turned to Lin Tan.

No wonder they were so curious.

If Lin Tanruo really is Huo Sinian's fiancée, then he can focus on cultivating her. After all, having a fiancée means Huo Sinian will invest, and any production crew with Lin Tanruo will not lack investment.
