Chapter 126: If you lose, you're eating with me!

She already has a boyfriend?

Zheng Le's eyes lit up!

It's even more exciting, baby!

But soon he asked doubtfully, "Your boyfriend is also a screenwriter; he also has a script to discuss cooperation with Director Wang Qiangwei?"

Su Manyao nodded, looking like a clueless sweetie: "Yes, he also brought the script over and is discussing it with Director Wang Qiangwei."

Just her natural aloofness makes her appear cold no matter how you look at her.

Upon hearing, Zheng Le lifted his head and looked toward Wang Qiangwei, indeed vaguely seeing a person sitting beside Wang Qiangwei.

"Is that your boyfriend?"

Su Manyao said: "Yes."

Zheng Le chuckled, "Beauty, you might be mistaken; this isn't a cooperation talk, maybe just letting your boyfriend bring the script over to have a look."

"Which script the investor chooses ultimately depends on whose script is better."

Su Manyao said: "Oh, I see; then they'll definitely choose my boyfriend's script."

Zheng Le:???

No, how can you be so confident?

Su Manyao is naturally confident; she hasn't even seen Jiang Cheng's script.

But that doesn't matter; as long as she's willing, even if Jiang Cheng writes a lump of mess, she can pour money and resources to get his film made.

Yet hearing Zheng Le say, "Beauty, don't be so confident; you might not understand."

"Countless scripts are eliminated every day; just writing a script doesn't mean a director will shoot it."

"The vast majority of scripts, once written, end up in the trash."

"Your boyfriend's is no exception."

"But the script I brought is different; it's already verified, many people are willing to invest, and some directors want to shoot it. However, compared to that, I'd rather have Director Wang Weiqiang direct this film, which is why I came today."

"So, beauty, do you think your boyfriend's script can surpass mine?"

Su Manyao nodded and said: "Of course."

Zheng Le chuckled, "Beauty, how about we make a bet? If later the investors come and choose my script, eliminating your boyfriend's, then we'll exchange contact info and you can have a meal with me."

Su Manyao replied without thinking: "Sure."

Upon hearing Su Manyao agree, Zheng Le instantly became delighted.

Especially seeing Su Manyao's cool, aloof beauty yet appearing utterly guileless, she looked like the type that's easy to deceive.

Moreover, he judged Su Manyao to be the kind of woman who admires the strong; otherwise she wouldn't mindlessly claim her boyfriend's script is better.

For such a woman, as long as you surpass her boyfriend, it's easy to win her over.

…

After Jiang Cheng finished talking with the director, Wang Qiangwei said, "Your girlfriend is still over there; shall we go get some barbecue first? I'll call you when the investors arrive."

Jiang Cheng said okay, then stood up, shook hands with Wang Qiangwei, and walked toward Su Manyao.

Looking at Jiang Cheng's back, his expression was somewhat strange.

Speaking of which, this kid looks about twenty; how did he manage to win Su Manyao over?

If I'm not mistaken, Su Manyao should be either 26 or 28 years old, right?

The boss usually looks cool and aloof; every time I see her, she seems like an immortal untouched by worldly affairs.

Turns out she also likes fresh young meat behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Director Wang Qiangwei revealed a strange smile.

Jiang Cheng had already seen that several men were standing beside Su Manyao, trying to pick her up.

But Jiang Cheng didn't take it to heart.

Jiang Cheng knows that Su Manyao isn't a clueless little girl; at the very least, she's an associate professor at Modu Daxue.

Many people want to pursue her but can't even get close, so Jiang Cheng isn't worried.

Just as he walked over, Su Manyao saw him and pulled out a chair from the side.

Jiang Cheng sat down, turned his head, and glanced at Zheng Le sitting nearby.

Zheng Le was also looking at him, with two men standing behind him.

"You brought the script over to discuss cooperation with Director Wang Qiangwei?" He looked at Jiang Cheng somewhat surprised and asked.

He hadn't expected Jiang Cheng to be so young; he looks noticeably younger than the woman before him.

Jiang Cheng said, "What's up? Any problem?" "No."

Zheng Le said, "But kid, I advise you not to have any hopes; coming here is just wasting your time."

Jiang Cheng frowned a bit and asked, "What's up? You also have a script?"

As soon as he thought about it, he knew the reason; earlier he had heard Wang Qiangwei say that someone else had also brought a script over.

Zheng Le was called out on it, and without refuting, he said, "Right, so I advise you not to waste time."

Jiang Cheng let out a light laugh and said, "You're quite impressive; others haven't even been chosen yet, and you're already sending the competition home?"

Zheng Le's old face flushed red from Jiang Cheng's words, and he snorted, "Nonsense!"

Jiang Cheng turned his head, ignored him, turned again and asked Su Manyao, "Do you want to eat barbecue?"

Su Manyao usually doesn't like eating these things.

But after sitting here a while, she's been smoked with barbecue smell all over her.

!

Moreover, the scene is lively, everyone is happily grilling barbecue, and smelling it she also feels like eating some.

So she said, "Sure."

"I want to eat lamb skewers."

Jiang Cheng agreed, got up and walked toward the freezer at the back; a row of freezers stood neatly, inside were the ingredients prepared by the crew.

Jiang Cheng picked up a metal tray from the side.

Then he selected some lamb skewers.

There are many grills; usually a few people gather together to grill.

Jiang Cheng found a grill with few people, where only a married woman was grilling chicken legs.

The married woman's appearance was quite ordinary, so no one wanted to sit with her.

Jiang Cheng approached; the married woman raised her head, a glint flashed in her eyes, and then she saw Su Manyao.

Really beautiful!

On the small path that Jiang Cheng and they had just entered, people kept coming in, and occasionally someone would drive their car inside.

Someone saw Su Manyao reveal a look of surprise.

Not to mention Su Manyao being used to it; even Jiang Cheng had long been accustomed.

No matter where Yujie goes, she is always the focus of the crowd.

Half an hour later, Wang Qiangwei called Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang Cheng, are you free now?"

"If you're free, come over; I have a friend who wants to look at the script."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Jiang Cheng hung up Wang Qiangwei's call, then handed the half-grilled lamb skewers to Su Manyao.

"Grill it a few more minutes and it'll be ready to eat."

Su Manyao's two hands: one holding several skewers, she was eating.

Her mouth was a bit red from the chili sauce, and she nodded at Jiang Cheng.

"Good."

Then Jiang Cheng got up and walked toward Wang Qiangwei.

He had only walked halfway when he saw Wang Qiangwei coming over with some people.

Zheng Le, who had just tried to pick up Su Manyao, was also among them.

Zheng Le was talking with a married woman; no one knew what they were saying, and the woman merely nodded in response.

Zheng Le talked incessantly.

Wang Qiangwei said: "Jiang Cheng, let's go over there together; we can have someone grill some barbecue and eat while we chat."

Then Jiang Cheng followed them, walking toward the place where they had just been grilling.
