Their gazes met in midair, and Yisheng nodded slightly towards him before indifferently shifting his gaze away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yisheng, this is Ji Mingqian, the male lead of the movie I’m currently shooting,\" Director Xu enthusiastically introduced them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Xu, we’ve met.\" Jiang Yisheng’s voice was soothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know each other? You should have said so earlier, I was worried that my last-minute meal arrangements would be awkward for you,\" Director Xu said with a stunned laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s sit down and then talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three sat down, and Director Xu took a sip of water. \"Let’s order first. You two pick, I’m fine with anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the vibrating sound of a cellphone rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Xu took it out for a look; his wife was calling. He stood up, \"You two go ahead and order, I’ll take this call outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his departure, the private room suddenly felt a bit chilly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technically speaking, the two had only met by chance twice before, so they were not exactly familiar with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingqian browsed through the menu, selected a few dishes, and also ordered some bottles of alcohol before setting the menu down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from him, Yisheng had already ordered. He leisurely sipped warm water from a cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere turned even more awkward with Director Xu’s absence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Mingqian was the first to break the silence, \"Has your cold gotten better?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Yisheng looked up, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingqian explained, \"I saw it on the trending topics when I was browsing Weibo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yisheng’s lips curved slightly, revealing a shallow dimple, \"That’s false. I didn’t have a cold, just didn’t rest well the night before yesterday, so I looked a bit pale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering when he saw the trending topic and even jokingly labeled him a ’sick beauty’ to himself, Mingqian felt somewhat guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve seen the movie you shot. It was very well done,\" Yisheng said in his soft voice, without even a hint of flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his movie, it felt like the character was tailor-made for Mingqian – he brought the character to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am looking forward to your new work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingqian’s lips curled into a smile, teasing, \"How about you book an entire showing when the movie’s released, to support me and Director Xu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yisheng agreed heartily, \"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere had unconsciously warmed up a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Director Xu returned from his phone call, followed by a waiter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finished ordering?\" Director Xu asked as he pulled out his chair to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yisheng nodded and handed both menus to the waiter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please wait a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking the menus, the waiter turned and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yisheng, how long will you be staying in S City this time?\" Director Xu inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll stay for a few more days. I have to shoot one of my new album’s MVs here,\" Yisheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have time, come visit our set. It’s not often we get to meet, we should have more meals together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" As ever, he was the epitome of modesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly, the dishes were all served.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Xu took a bottle of alcohol and filled three glasses; the crisp fragrance of the drink quickly filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Yisheng, both were fond of alcohol. They clinked glasses and downed their drinks in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingqian set down his glass and, looking up, noticed the untouched drink in Yisheng’s cup. His lips curved mischievously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yisheng, the alcohol here is quite good. Try it, it’s not too strong,\" Director Xu said, lifting his glass to clink with his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yisheng reluctantly picked up his glass and went along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his glass empty, Director Xu moved to pour him another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yisheng stopped him with a wry smile, \"Uncle Xu, I really can’t hold my liquor well, one glass is about my limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then.\" Seeing that he couldn’t drink, Director Xu didn’t insist and instead turned to Mingqian to continue drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mingqian, let’s carry on drinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yisheng hadn’t eaten much before dizziness overcame him, his usually cold and jade-like cheeks tinted with a touch of red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one drink and he was already slightly tipsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mingqian ordered the alcohol, it naturally wasn’t the mild stuff. These drinks might not have a high alcohol content, but they packed a punch later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put down his chopsticks and leaned back in his chair, his hand moving to massage his forehead. His fingers slipped to the side, pressing against his temple instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yisheng, there’s no rush on the ending song for the movie; you can take your time,\" Director Xu said after a few rounds of drinks, bringing up work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yisheng responded with a simple \"okay,\" reached for his cup, and slowly took a sip of water. The cool liquid slid down his throat, helping him to clear his head a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the rest of the time, he quietly listened to Director Xu and Mingqian chatting, occasionally chiming in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Director Xu getting carried away with his drinking, he failed to notice Yisheng’s discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belching from the alcohol, Director Xu’s face flushed red. \"I’m going to the restroom. I’ll be back to keep drinking, wait here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingqian glanced at him, at his staggering steps that looked like he might hit a wall at any moment. \"Uncle Xu, do you need someone to help you there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... no need... don’t underestimate me.\" Director Xu waved a hand and staggered out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingqian chuckled. His gaze swept over the person across from him, noting the hand pressed against his forehead and the slightly hazy look in his green eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knocked out by just one drink?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is his tolerance really that bad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay?\" Mingqian’s voice was magnetic and slightly hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yisheng looked up, the dizziness intensifying, \"I’m...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thump—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Face down, his forehead hit the table producing a muffled sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingqian was taken aback, then rose to his feet and walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yisheng, wake up.\" He extended a finger and poked Yisheng’s shoulder, \"You can’t be this bad with alcohol, finished after just one drink?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that answered him was the back of a head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Director Xu returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having washed his face he felt more sober.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mingqian, I’m going to head back first. Xu’s wife is already here to pick me up.\" He walked in as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, catching sight of Yisheng slumped on the table, Director Xu was flabbergasted. \"What happened to Yisheng?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingqian crossed his arms, \"He drank too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Xu was astonished, \"Didn’t he just have one drink?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep, one drink down,\" Mingqian said, holding back laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Xu scratched his head, \"Let’s call it a night then. Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is his manager here?\" Mingqian asked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.761Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","b31e3a48168f1d43ad6568746751bb823775c9e7834d7487ff390dd959fd87cb","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-62","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-60",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
