Chapter 875 Welcome Banquet

Tan Yue had just finished reviewing a document when he was interrupted by a phone call.

"Old Tan, do you want to go downstairs to play ball?"

As soon as the call was connected, Xu Nuo's voice came from the phone. After studying behind closed doors for a while, he felt like he was standing up again.

Xu Nuo finished the work in his hands. He couldn't sit still in the office, so he thought about going downstairs to play ball as a break.

Sitting in the office for a long time sometimes makes the brain's reaction slow.

It has been a while since the two of them exchanged ball skills together.

Every time Xu Nuo felt that he had learned a new club, he couldn't wait to compete with Tan Yue.

Tan Yue tapped on the keyboard and thought for a moment: "You go downstairs and wait for me first, I'll go there in ten minutes."

Tan Yue would not rest until the experience summary was completed.

"OK! Waiting for you downstairs." After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuo went straight to the gym downstairs.

More than ten minutes later, Tan Yue checked the newly added content, and after confirming that there was no problem, he put the computer into sleep mode and came out of the office with a cup.

"Mr. Tan." Chen Ye stood up, thinking that there was a work arrangement.

"Xiao Ye, I'm going to the gym downstairs to play billiards."

"Okay, Mr. Tan." Chen Ye's eyes turned: "Mr. Tan, can I go with you to have a look?"

Chen Ye had heard many people in the company say that Tan Yue's billiard skills were very good, but he had not seen it with his own eyes.

This time, when he heard that Tan Yue was going to play billiards, he thought about going to have a look together.

"No problem, let's go together!" The two got on the elevator, and Tan Yue asked: "Xiao Ye, have you learned about billiards?"

"I know a little about the basic rules, but I don't know how to play."

'Ding Dong'.

Tan Yue and Chen Ye got off the elevator and came to the gym on the first floor.

Tan Yue teased, "Fatty, I'm practicing here secretly."

Xu Nuo said, "Do I need to practice secretly to beat you? Today, I'll show you the new club technique I've learned recently. Beating you is like drinking tea."

In the more than ten minutes before Tan Yue arrived, Xu Nuo practiced what he had just learned online in advance. He performed well and was very confident that he would win today's game.

"It's good to be confident." Tan smiled and nodded.

He was used to Xu Nuo's words. He kept losing but always had a hard mouth.

Xu Nuo said proudly, "Mr. Tan, you have to be more careful today. I'm not kidding you."

Tan Yue ignored him, put the cup aside, walked straight to the place where the clubs were placed, and found the club he had been using.

"Let's start."

Xu Nuo swung and teed off.

In the blink of an eye, the first two sentences were finished, and Xu Nuo said proudly, "How about it? Mr. Tan, just say I will win today."

The winner of the first two games was Xu Nuo.

When two people play, they usually play in a best-of-five format. As long as Xu Nuo wins the next game, he will win.

"Mr. Tan, I must beat you 3-0 today." With such a huge advantage, Xu Nuo's confidence reached an unprecedented height.

Tan Yue calmly replied: "Come on!"

However, the third game did not win as Xu Nuo imagined, but Tan Yue won easily.

"I won't let you win in the fourth game. I'm going to be serious."

Tan Yue found his touch again and still won the fourth game easily.

Xu Nuo scratched his hair, with an ominous premonition in his heart. He felt that the scene in front of him was familiar, and whispered: "I won't lose again."

After the fifth game started, Xu Nuo made many mistakes because he was a little anxious, and Tan Yue won.

Xu Nuo instantly felt that his body was hollowed out, and said frustratedly: "Why is it this result again."

Originally thought that he had a sure win, but in the end he still lost.

During this period, Xu Nuo learned a lot from the online teaching videos, and he himself clearly felt that he was making progress.

Tan Yue gently patted Xu Nuo on the shoulder: "Playing billiards requires talent!"

"You" Xu Nuo was blocked and couldn't say a word.

He still lost despite his own progress. Only talent can explain everything.

What's more, Tan Yue basically didn't watch billiards teaching videos, and he didn't have extra time to practice.

Xu Nuo sighed: "Okay, you are a talented player."

During the two people playing, many employees gathered around.

"Mr. Tan's skills are getting better and better!"

"Deputy Director Xu loses every time, which is too miserable. I feel sorry for him."

"Mr. Tan is really amazing. He can win three games in a row."

"When Deputy Director Xu won two games in a row, I thought he could win today. It seems that I thought too much."

Chen Ye, who was standing in the crowd, was amazed. Today he saw Tan Yue's billiards skills with his own eyes.

Tan Yue's talent for playing billiards is indeed good. He can win back even when he is so far behind.

Chen Ye left the gym first. He still had work to do.

People who are familiar with them know that the two of them played five games and then began to disperse. Some went back to continue working out, and some went back to work.

Tan Yue put the club back to its original position, picked up the cup and drank tea, thinking about the next work arrangement.

Xu Nuo had always lost before, and losing again today did not affect him. After putting the club away, he asked: "When do you have time to have a drink together?"

Xu Nuo thought about it and suddenly realized that the two of them had not drunk for a while.

"How about this, tomorrow night."

"Really?" Tan Yue was interrupted by Xu Nuo before he finished speaking.

Because Tan Yue has been busy with the release of the movie, he has no time.

Chen Ziyu also does not allow Tan Yue to drink.

Xu Nuo was going to ask casually, but he didn't expect that he actually had time.

Xu Nuo noticed that Tan Yue had not finished speaking, and laughed: "You go first."

"Mr. Wu just came back from abroad today. I plan to welcome him tomorrow. You can go with me. Anyway, you are all familiar with each other, let's have a drink together."

"Is that so." Xu Nuo muttered softly, and then asked: "Are there any other people?"

If it were only Tan Yue and Wu Gong, he would not be too embarrassed to go, after all, it was to welcome Wu Gong.

"And Ma Guoliang."

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow." Hearing Ma Guoliang's name, Xu Nuo made a decision directly, and then asked tentatively: "Do you want to bring Zhou Can?"

The three of them are good drinking buddies. If two people went, how could one person be left behind?

Tan Yue thought: "How about this, call Zhou Can, Jiao Cheng and Zhang Wenhua, let's get together, it will be more lively and more people will come together to welcome Mr. Wu."

Mr. Wu has been away from the company for such a long time, everyone can still chat together.

Xu Nuo nodded frantically to agree with Tan Yue's opinion.

In fact, for him, as long as he can drink, it is enough.

"Let's go back to work."

Although he lost the billiards game today, Xu Nuo looked particularly excited at the thought of drinking tomorrow.

Not long after Tan Yue returned to the office, Chen Ziyu knocked on the door and came in.

"Ayue, what are you going to eat when you go back tonight?" Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Chen Ziyu remembered that there was no food at home.

"I'll buy some food online later."

After the voice fell, Tan Yue opened the grocery shopping app on his mobile phone, and Chen Ziyu looked at him from behind: "Buy some of this, I haven't eaten for a long time."

Tan Yue said "um" lightly and added it to the shopping cart.

"Buy some more of this."

A few more dishes that Chen Ziyu liked were added to the shopping cart.

Chen Ziyu said, "That's all. It won't be fresh if it's kept for too long."

After choosing the delivery time, dinner was settled.

Tan Yue put down his phone and said, "Ziyu, I plan to welcome Mr. Wu tomorrow night. I've invited Xu Nuo, Ma Guoliang, Zhou Can, Jiao Cheng and Zhang Wenhua. Do you want to go over for dinner?"

Chen Ziyu shook her head, "Forget it. I won't go with you. You guys can drink together. If I go with you, you guys might not be able to let go and have fun."

Hearing that everyone at the dinner was familiar, Chen Ziyu knew that drinking was inevitable. The reception was meant to be lively, and because of her status, the people at the dinner would definitely be restrained.

"Okay." Since Chen Ziyu didn't want to go, Tan Yue didn't force her.

Chen Ziyu reminded, "Don't drink too much tomorrow night."

Thinking of these people's names, she could imagine that tomorrow night's reception would be another 'fierce battle', especially with Xu Nuo, Ma Guoliang and Zhou Can, the company's famous drinking buddies.

"Don't worry, I won't drink too much." Tan Yue was still a little confident in his control of his alcohol consumption.

The next day, at six o'clock in the afternoon.

Tan Yue came out of Chen Ziyu's office and prepared to go to Shunli Shanshui Manor. He would only get off work on time if he had something to do at night.

Tan Yue came downstairs and saw Xu Nuo waving.

"Mr. Tan!" Several people greeted him.

Tan Yue asked, "Are all the people here?"

Xu Nuo patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about me doing things. Teacher Ma will be down soon."

Tan Yue looked at Engineer Wu and asked, "Mr. Wu, how is your rest?"

Engineer Wu's spirit was obviously much better than yesterday, but he still looked a little tired: "No problem."

Xu Nuo suddenly said, "Teacher Ma is here."

Ma Guoliang trotted to the car: "Sorry, I was delayed by something just now."

Tan Yue said, "The time is just right, let's go."

Seven people took two cars and arrived at Shunli Shanshui Manor more than an hour later.

"Mr. Tan." Zhang Lake personally greeted Tan Yue's arrival.

Tan Yue said, "Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Lake, the owner of Shunli Shanshui Manor."

After all, today's welcoming banquet only has seven people. Unlike previous gatherings, there are so many people that it is not convenient to introduce them.

Most of them are public figures, and Zhang Lake is not unfamiliar. Only Xu Nuo and Wu Gong are unfamiliar.

Tan Yue also focused on introducing the two of them.

Zhang Lake joked, "If everyone knew that so many celebrities came to the manor today, my small manor would definitely be packed."

Although there is no lack of exaggeration, it is possible with the popularity of these people in front of us now.

A few people walked towards the restaurant with laughter.

Tan Yue and Zhang Lake walked in front, and Wu Gong and a few others were behind admiring the scenery in the manor.

It was past seven o'clock, and the sun had not completely disappeared.

Xu Nuo said with emotion, "The scenery here is really good!"

It was his first time to come to Shunli Shanshui Manor. He had heard people from the film and TV department often mention this place before, and today he saw it with his own eyes.

Ma Guoliang pointed to a forest and said, "It seems that this place has just been planted. I remember that it was not there when I came last time."

"Teacher Ma is right." Zhang Lake said with a smile, "It is a maple forest. You can come and see it in the fall."

In autumn, the scenery in the manor is a bit monotonous, so this area has been re-planned.

Everyone nodded and continued walking.

Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the door of the restaurant.

"Mr. Tan, I won't disturb your dinner party. Please inform me anytime if you have anything."

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhang."

After Zhang Laike left, several people were led by the waiter to a private room with good privacy.

Tan Yue asked Chen Ye to contact Shunli Shanshui Manor in advance.

The private room is very spacious, and there is a floor-to-ceiling window. The scenery of the manor is unobstructed, and you can also see the sun that is about to set.

"This room looks even more upscale than the Tianling Hotel!" Xu Nuo glanced at the decoration in the private room and couldn't find any adjectives to express his feelings.

The feelings of several other people were similar to Xu Xu's. After all, when they came here before, the entire crew had dinner together, and they had never been to the private room of Shunli Shanshui Manor.

After several people sat down, Tan Yue asked the waiter to start serving the dishes, and of course the white wine was also indispensable.

"Mr. Tan, this is the last dish."

In a blink of an eye, the table in the private room was filled with dishes.

"Okay, thank you!"

After the waiter went out, he saw Tan Yue put down his chopsticks and picked up his wine glass, and everyone else also picked up their glasses.

Tan Yue said: "Today's meal is to welcome Mr. Wu. During this time, he has been busy abroad for movie promotion. Thank you for your hard work. Let's toast Mr. Wu with this glass of wine."

A glass of wine.

Wu Gongdao: "It's all part of the job. Although it's a bit hard, seeing that our company's movies can achieve such good results, it's all worth the hard work."

At this time, Xu Nuo took on the role of pouring wine.

“‘The Truman Show’ is our company’s first film to be released simultaneously around the world. This time we have accumulated a lot of experience for future overseas promotion work.”

Several people were chatting and drinking.

Ma Guoliang picked up the wine glass: "I would like to toast Mr. Wu with this glass of wine. Thank you for your hard work in promoting the film during this period."

With Ma Guoliang taking the lead, everyone began to toast Wu Gong. After all, he was the protagonist tonight.

After Zhang Wenhua finished drinking, he sat down and was the last to toast Wu Gong.

At this time, Wu Gong was already getting drunk. He picked up the newly filled wine glass and said, "Mr. Tan, I would like to offer you this glass of wine. For a movie to achieve such good results, it is not enough to just rely on publicity. The audience can see it." Or the movie itself. It’s amazing to be able to make a movie that’s popular all over the world.”

Wu Gong raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

Watching Tan Yue rest for a while, Ma Guoliang also picked up his glass of wine: "Thank you, Mr. Tan, for letting me be the protagonist of this movie and giving me this opportunity."

Everyone then started to toast Tan Yue.
