Chapter 700: Disagreement
After Wen Jia walked out of the private room, she told the waiter to start serving the dishes, and then she picked up her phone to call Li Yingying.
Wen Jia was so upset now. She had been told many times that she must not let down her guard when meeting with Tan Yue for dinner today.
Li Yingying was not only late, but also forty minutes late. How could she offend Tan Yue because of this? There was really no place to complain.
Sometimes Wen Jia couldn't imagine that Li Yingying had been in the entertainment industry for such a long time, even a few years earlier than her, but she didn't understand these simple ways of the world.
But think about it, maybe it was because Li Yingying didn't understand these ways of the world that she was only ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the second-tier public figures list until now.
Wen Jia sighed, dialed Li Yingying's number, and put the phone to her ear.
Soon, the call was connected, and Li Yingying's somewhat anxious voice came from the phone, "Jia Jia, I'm stuck in traffic."
Wen Jia's chest was blocked by a breath of anger, and she almost died.
Before, she just used Li Yingying's traffic jam as an excuse to deal with Tan Yue, who knew that Li Yingying was actually stuck in traffic.
Wen Jia cursed her own crow mouth, then took a deep breath, urged Li Yingying a few words, and turned back to the box.
There is no way, traffic jam is traffic jam, she is anxious and urging here, it will not help.
Now she has to think about how to explain to Tan Yue. Wen Jia can see that Tan Yue has been waiting for so long, he should be impatient, and even dissatisfied in his heart.
But what can be done? Not to mention Tan Yue, even if it is an ordinary person, when facing this situation, if you make an appointment to have dinner together, the other party is late for 40 minutes, it is estimated that he will be angry, not to mention a big man like Tan Yue.
Wen Jia sighed, adjusted his state, so that he would not look too bad, and then walked into the box.
In the box, Tan Yue was on the phone. Wen Jia did not speak, sat down at the table, and nodded to Tan Yue.
It was Xu Nuo who called Tan Yue. This guy couldn't wait any longer. He was a real alcoholic.
Tan Yue's previous evaluation of Xu Nuo was that this guy could open up a circle wherever he went. Xu Nuo's magic weapon to open up the circle was drinking.
But Xu Nuo did not drink for socializing, but simply for drinking. It was just that the more he drank, the more people he had to confide in, and the more friends he had.
However, Xu Nuo had been in Beijing for such a long time, and he didn't have many friends who were good friends and could drink. The best friend was Tan Yue. But since Tan Yue fell in love with Chen Ziyu, Chen Ziyu opposed his invalid drinking party and forbade him to drink with Tan Yue every now and then.
After Chen Ziyu's ban, Tan Yue basically drank with Xu Nuo twice a month, and sometimes he was busy and might not drink once a month, especially when Tan Yue was filming a movie or TV series, and there was no time to drink together for several months.
So every time the two drank, Xu Nuo was very anxious, just like this time, Tan Yue hadn't started eating yet, and Xu Nuo called.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Jia asked: "Mr. Tan, are you in a hurry?"
Just now, when Tan Yue called, it was obvious that there was something. Thinking of this, Wen Jia complained in her heart that Li Yingying came too late and delayed Tan Yue's business.
Tan Yue smiled and said: "It's okay, don't worry."
Wen Jia nodded and said: "I have told the waiter to start serving the dishes. This restaurant serves dishes very quickly."
Then the two chatted for a while, from the current entertainment industry to the interesting stories when they were in college. What surprised Wen Jia was that Tan Yue still remembered the things in college very clearly. You know, after so many years, she can't remember more than half of her college classmates, and there are only a few people who still remember them.
The two talked for a while, and the waiter brought the food.
These dishes were prepared before, and according to the scheduled time, they should have been served, but some people have not arrived yet, so it was delayed until now.
Now the dishes are served, and the speed is very fast.
"Mr. Tan, please try it. How is the food here? Many friends say that the Shandong cuisine here is very authentic. Later, I also came to eat a few times. I can't tell whether it is authentic or not, but I think it is not bad." Wen Jia said with a smile.
Tan Yue hummed, picked up a pair of chopsticks from the dining table, picked up the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in front of him and tasted it. His eyes lit up slightly, then looked up at Wen Jia and smiled: "Well, it's good, it tastes like Shandong cuisine."
After that, Tan Yue started to eat other dishes.
Nine-turn large intestine, sweet and sour carp, stir-fried kidney, scallion-fried sea cucumber, braised prawns.
Tan Yue ate all the dishes one by one, and his appetite was opened.
He is very picky about food, not only him, but also Chen Ziyu, so when the two of them are together, they either go to a big restaurant with a good reputation or cook at home.
During the time in Beijing, I ate a lot of old Beijing delicacies, but rarely ate such great Shandong cuisine.
Tan Yue secretly remembered this restaurant in his heart. If friends from his hometown come to eat in the future, he can bring them to this small house for dinner, or it would be nice to meet here next time when drinking with Xu Nuo.
Unconsciously, Tan Yue had forgotten the third college classmate who had not yet arrived. In Tan Yue's opinion, this person was not punctual and his character was probably not very good. He originally came here with the idea of meeting an old classmate and giving Wen Jia a face. Now that this is the case, forget it.
Tan Yue did not plan to wait any longer. He prepared to eat something, talk to Wen Jia for a while, and then leave.
During this period, Tan Yue's chopsticks did not stop, because there was another drinking party waiting for him later.
Tan Yue always felt that his alcohol tolerance was not bad. When he was in Hedong Province, he was already a leader. Later, he came to the north and went to the south. Tan Yue's alcohol tolerance was very good. He rarely drank when the crew was filming, but at the wrap-up banquet, if there were staff or actors who came to Tan Yue to drink, he basically accepted them.
After all, they had been filming together for such a long time, so they had to give each other face. Besides, they had been together for a long time, so they were familiar with each other. Tan Yue was not arrogant. So many people came to drink with Tan Yue. At each wrap-up party, there was probably about a pound of liquor, and more than a dozen bottles of beer. His drinking capacity was not bad no matter where he was.
But compared with Xu Nuo, Tan Yue really had to say that he couldn't compare with that guy.
Xu Nuo was really a reincarnation of an alcoholic. Tan Yue still remembered when he first met Xu Nuo. At that time, when he drank with Xu Nuo, he was afraid that Xu Nuo would drink to death. He simply drank wine like water.
Tan Yue thought he had a good alcohol capacity, but Xu Nuo could drink twice as much as Tan Yue.
The two hadn't drunk together for a while. It was conceivable that the second game later would inevitably be another cruel drinking game. So while there was time and hot and fragrant food, Tan Yue had to fill his stomach first.
In the box, Wen Jia was very happy to see Tan Yue eating happily.
It can be said that she was the one who organized this situation today, because Li Yingying has not arrived yet, and Wen Jia is also afraid that Tan Yue will be unhappy and have a bad impression of her. Now that she sees Tan Yue eating so happily, she is relieved.
When the two were talking, footsteps suddenly came from outside the box.
Then there was no knocking, and the door of the box was opened from the outside.
At this time, the food and soup that should be served have been served, and the waiter should not come in without being called.
Tan Yue frowned and turned to look at the door.
A beautiful and elegant girl walked in from outside. She looked like she was in her early twenties, but her eyebrows and eyes were a little more mature than those of a twenty-eight girl.
She was tall and wore a short skirt that slightly exposed her shoulders, which made her beautiful legs under the stockings look straighter and longer. The dark and shiny singing was naturally draped over her shoulders. There was a smile on her delicate and beautiful face, and her eyes were beautiful and bright.
"Yingying, you're here."
Seeing the newcomer, Wen Jia breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately stood up and walked over, talking as he walked.
Li Yingying smiled at Wen Jia, revealing two small canine teeth, then restrained her smile and looked at Tan Yue who was sitting at the table.
Tan Yue stood straight, holding chopsticks in one hand and resting his head on his thighs. The sun shone in from the window behind him, making him seem like he was bathing in the sun, and the whole person looked extraordinary.
Tan Yue was also looking at the newcomer at this time, frowning slightly, and then he remembered who this impolite girl who suddenly came in was.
Li Yingying.
From the original owner's memory, Tan Yue found news about this Li Yingying.
When browsing these memories, Tan Yue was like a bystander looking at a long river called years or time. Standing in different positions, one's views on a person are also different.
For example, when the original owner was in college, the original owner had mixed feelings of love and hate for this Li Yingying. At first it was love, and later it was more hate.
The original owner had written a love letter to Li Yingying when he was in college. Later, Li Yingying turned around and fell in love with another tall, rich and handsome man. She also published the love letter that Tan Yue had written to her before, causing the original owner to become a laughing stock for a while. This matter seems to be just a small matter to Tan Yue now, and it is nothing. But it really made the original owner at that time die. He hated Li Yingying in his heart.
If it is the period after the original owner graduated from college and married Qi Xue, the original owner did not even think about Li Yingying again. Qi Xue was all in his mind. So at that time, there was no love or hate for Li Yingying. She was just a familiar stranger.
And now, Li Yingying is even more of a stranger to Tan Yue, and even a stranger with a very bad impression.
Tan Yue raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It had been one hour and ten minutes since the agreed time. In other words, Li Yingying was seventy minutes late this time.
Wen Jia led Li Yingying over and introduced them to each other with a smile.
"Yingying, this is Tan Yue, our college classmate. You should remember him, right? No, you definitely remember him. He is now the top boss in our entertainment industry." Wen Jia said with a smile.
Li Yingying came to the table, but did not sit down. She looked at Tan Yue, nodded, and said, "Hello."
It must be said that Li Yingying's behavior immediately made Wen Jia and Tan Yue frown.
Li Yingying was late for today's dinner, and she should have apologized to Wen Jia and Tan Yue. However, after Li Yingying arrived, she did not ask her to apologize. Wen Jia was introducing her, and she was not cold and indifferent. Her attitude was indeed problematic.
Li Yingying's attitude was problematic, so Tan Yue naturally would not be good to her. He said indifferently, "Hello."
Wen Jia saw Tan Yue's appearance and knew that Tan Yue was dissatisfied with Li Yingying in his heart, but at this time, in front of Tan Yue, she couldn't say anything to Li Yingying.
Li Yingying also frowned and stared at Tan Yue.
In the box, the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while. Wen Jia hurriedly warmed up the atmosphere and then introduced Li Yingying, saying: "This is Li Yingying, our college classmate, and now she is also a second-tier artist in the entertainment industry."
After that, Wen Jia quickly pulled Li Yingying to sit down.
"Come, eat."
Wen Jia saw Li Yingying sitting at the table like a wooden stake without saying anything, so he picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Li Yingying.
Wen Jia looked at Tan Yue again and said with a smile: "Mr. Tan, I'll ask the waiter to heat up the dishes again. They are a little cold."
Although Li Yingying didn't come just now, Wen Jia didn't keep the dishes and asked the waiter to bring all the dishes together. Now it has been half an hour since the dishes were served, and some dishes are obviously not hot.
Tan Yue nodded and said: "Okay, heat them up."
Li Yingying pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Wen Jia kicked her under the table. Li Yingying moved her body but still didn't say anything.
Tan Yue reached out and took out a piece of toilet paper from the toilet paper box on the dining table, wiped his hands, stood up and said: "Okay, I am very satisfied with this meal today. Thank you, classmate Wenjia, I will remember this restaurant. I will come again when I have time. There are not many such authentic Shandong restaurants in Beijing."
Li Yingying's face changed when she heard this.
Wenjia was also stunned and hurriedly said: "Mr. Tan, are you leaving now?"
Although Tan Yue had told Wenjia not to call him Mr. Tan anymore, the two of them were in the same circle and their status was too different. In addition, they had not seen each other for so many years. It was inevitable that they would take these into consideration when talking, and it was impossible for them to really call Tan Yue by name directly.
Wenjia was indeed a little anxious. The original dinner was for the three of them to sit together for dinner and reminisce about the past and build a relationship with Tan Yue. First, Li Yingying was late for more than an hour, and then just as Li Yingying arrived, Tan Yue was leaving again.
Tan Yue looked at Wen Jia and said with a smile: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You guys take your time to eat. I'm having a great time tonight."
Having said this, and knowing that Tan Yue was busy, Wen Jia stopped trying to stop him and watched him walk out of the box.
Bang!
As soon as Tan Yue walked out of the box, he heard a noise.
Li Yingying's pretty face turned red with anger, and she slapped the table.
