Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Having a Meal (Requesting Recommendation Votes)

She typed "Bols 1998" into the browser.

Jiang Ting pressed the search button.

A list of information soon appeared before her.

Bols 1998 is one of the hottest red wines from Bols Vineyard in recent years.

With rich tannins and a pure, intense flavor profile, it also carries a subtle and elegant fruity aroma, making it the wine of choice for dining and gifting among French aristocrats in the past two years.

Besides being popular in high society, it’s also a favorite of sommeliers, receiving a perfect score of 100 points at the wine awards in previous years.

It is known as the Perfect Wine King.

Reviewing the information, Jiang Ting felt as if she was touching another world. These terms, so high-end and sophisticated, were completely different from her usual world.

But when she saw the price at the end of the data, Jiang Ting covered her mouth in shock: 68,888 yuan per bottle.

Although it may not seem expensive compared to top-tier wines that can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, it was still well beyond the spending range of ordinary people.

Especially since... this was just a casual gathering before shooting. And they were drinking such expensive wine?

This person... must be very rich, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ting couldn’t help but look at Chen Yan differently...

To strive for success in the entertainment industry, money was the most important thing.

Once a wealthy person was willing to support you, wouldn’t you rise straight to the top?

Meanwhile, the other actors had also found out about the price and history of the wine, each in their own way, whether by searching Baidu, asking friends over WeChat, or sneaking in a question to the server while pretending to use the restroom.

This resulted in all of them looking at Chen Yan with renewed seriousness and respect.

The industry was that pragmatic. Usefulness determined the attitude.

If it were a boss from some small gaming company, offending him wouldn’t matter much. After all, no one knows how long that company would last.

But offending a wealthy person...

You never know if you might end up in their hands someday....

Seeing everyone straighten up their attitudes under his "show of wealth," Chen Yan nodded in satisfaction...

Soon, as dishes were served one by one, the meal started with both host and guests enjoying themselves.

During the meal, the wine was brought in. A waiter opened the bottle of this sixty-thousand-plus wine in front of everyone and decanted it in a wine decanter to breathe.

And Yu Qiao Qiao snuck up to Chen Yan, whispering, "Is this that expensive wine?"

Chen Yan nodded, "Yep."

Yu Qiao Qiao pouted slightly, "I don’t see what’s so special about it."

Chen Yan whispered back, "I don’t understand either... you were the one who called and asked, right? The hotel said this was the most expensive wine they had."

Yu Qiao Qiao nodded, looking distressed, "But... to just straighten up their attitudes, spending tens of thousands, isn’t that too much?"

On other topics, Chen Yan might find the conversation boring.

But when it came to spending money, his excitement surged. He smiled and said with pride, "Not at all. I think it’s too little."

After all..... this was the wine you asked about over the phone and said you "wanted to drink" at the table.

This would definitely be included in the tenfold cash-back!

So.... no amount is too much!

Thinking this way, Chen Yan, who had just "earned a net profit of 680,000 and won the hearts of a roomful of actors," cheerfully served the "little God of Wealth" a piece of fish with the serving chopsticks, saying, "Here, eat some fish. It’ll make you smarter."

"Ah?"

Yu Qiao Qiao looked at the fish on her plate, a few question marks popping up above her head.

While she didn’t know why, she felt... as if Chen Yan was mocking her intelligence...

Hm... Maybe she was overthinking?

Mmm, the fish is delicious.....

...

Halfway through the meal, Chen Yan received a call from Lu Man, who had just arrived at the hotel after a delayed flight.

Lu Man said she was at the hotel and asked Chen Yan to come to meet her.

Chen Yan asked Yu Qiao Qiao to keep her seat at the table and went downstairs to meet Lu Man.

Seeing Lu Man again, Chen Yan thought she looked even more beautiful.

She wore a tight-fitting black undershirt and an outer striped short-sleeve boat-neck overlay, with high-waisted skinny jeans on the bottom.

The overlay was tucked into the jeans for a look that was both youthful and alluringly sexy.

It wasn’t clear if she had had a spat with Mei Li, as Chen Yan noticed that Mei Li wasn’t with her when she arrived.

This seemed to make her much more relaxed.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, she pointed her index finger and pretended to shoot Chen Yan with two "guns," cheerfully saying, "Haven’t seen me, the big celebrity, for a few days, have you missed me?"

Chen Yan smiled, "No. Been busy lately."

Lu Man was unfazed, "No hurry. I’ll send you a few autographed photos for you to pin up in front of your computer, look at them more, and you’ll miss me."

Chen Yan teased, "Is this how you cultivate your fans?"

Lu Man lifted her head with a hint of arrogance, "Of course not. My fans need cultivating? Anyone who has seen my beauty immediately becomes my fan!"

Chen Yan: ...

Alright. The familiar flavor of narcissism.

This female celebrity was hopeless.

They chatted in the corner for a bit, sharing updates on their life and discussing filming schedules.

Just as Chen Yan was about to talk about the launch of his game, Lu Man quickly patted his shoulder, changing the subject, "Okay! No more talking! That’s not urgent, we can talk after the meal!"

"To make this meal, I changed my schedule last-minute, skipped lunch, and then the delay had me starving!"

"Let’s go eat!"

Saying so, Lu Man snapped her fingers, her eyes shining, "go! go! go! Let’s eat!"

After speaking, she adjusted her hat and, grabbing Chen Yan’s sleeve, ran upstairs.

Chen Yan, with his sleeve in Lu Man’s grasp, could only follow her upstairs.

Just as they reached the top floor, Lu Man suddenly stopped, "Which room was it again?"

Chen Yan, "Red Hot and Booming."

After twisting and turning, they came to the door of the private room. Chen Yan originally thought that Lu Man would push the door and go right in.

But instead, she stopped at the door, let go of Chen Yan’s sleeve, straightened out her clothes, took off her hat and sunglasses, and resumed her usual cool, elegant, and sexy expression.

Then, she lifted her head subtly, assumed a faint air of "arrogance," and commanded, "Open the door."

Chen Yan: ....

Chen Yan felt this female celebrity definitely had a split personality.

Should take her to a mental hospital one of these days...

He opened the door, and Chen Yan switched into "acting prodigy" mode, fitting his "rich man" persona.

He clapped his hands and said naturally, "Everybody, hold on, see who’s here."

Hearing Chen Yan’s voice, the few people who were dining turned their heads in unison.

And then.... they saw the casually dressed yet undeniably beautiful Lu Man, entering the room with a restrained, elegant smile on her face, as if she were walking down the red carpet...

At that moment, the female actors at the table suddenly felt ashamed.

In the acting profession, looks were essential; if you were pretty, people said it was like "being spoon-fed by the gods."

But for Lu Man... it was more than "being spoon-fed by the gods." It was like "the gods chasing you down to feed you"...

Walking into the room, Lu Man looked around the dinner table and then naturally took the seat to the right hand side of Chen Yan.

Chen Yan returned to the head of the table, then gestured to the attendant who had been serving in the private room, "Miss Lu Man just arrived, bring another of everything we’ve ordered so far."

The actors looked at Chen Yan.

Though it seemed a bit extravagant, Lu Man was a big name after all, and the reverence was expected.

After speaking, Chen Yan turned to Lu Man, "What would you like to drink?"

Lu Man glanced at the half-finished red wine next to her, "What’s that?"

Chen Yan, "Bols 1998."

Lu Man gave a genteel, elegant smile, "Mr. Chen has good taste."

Chen Yan smiled and motioned to the waiter again, "Bring another bottle of Bols 1998."

These words had the actors in the room locking their gaze on Chen Yan once again.

Another seventy thousand yuan bottle of red wine...

Just because of a word from Lu Man?

This man was truly wealthy....
