Liu Man was already very early when she arrived, but there were others before her.

Qiu Jing had six tables set up in the section. The designs of the table and the room were all in red, a celebratory color. Even the flowers in vases were red roses. It looked quite luxurious and flaunty, but not tasteless.

There were name tags on the backs of every chair. The tables nearest to the front of the room were for the leads and the staff most relevant to producing the movie. Liu Man found her name at the desk closest to the back.

Before she came here, she looked at the members of the new group chat. All of the extras, the actors pretending to be passersby, and even that class teacher who had more lines than her were not invited. The only reason that contributed to Liu Man being invited here was because of Qiu Jing.

The leads weren't here, so Liu Man didn't dare to sit here and wait. She walked out from one of the side doors, walked over to the public area of the fourth floor, and was going to take a tour around this luxurious hotel.

She had never seen such a place, no matter from her past life or the old Liu Man's memories.

At the same time, a Rolls-Royce parked in front of the hotel. The waiters knew from their first glance that this Rolls-Royce belonged to their boss.

They were surprised when their boss got off from the passenger seat instead of from the back seats, where he usually sat. He waved his hand to signal to the staff not to come forward, and he pulled open the back door himself. He smiled as he said to the people sitting inside,

"You are my premium guests tonight."

When there were still a few minutes until the hour hand of the clock stroke six o'clock, most people from the cast had already arrived and were all sitting.

To participate in this dinner party, Qiu Jing and Gao Jindong flew from the capital city to Shanghai this afternoon. Both of them were sitting at the front table, and Ye Zian was sitting beside Qiu Jing.

Yang Huayue had connections with Gao Jindong and should've been sitting next to him, but there was someone from the producing department sitting between her and Gao Jindong. Also sitting at the front table was a deputy director, Feng Qingyu, Qiao Xin, and Tang Tu.

If one would closely count through the chairs, there was still an empty one at the front table.

Everyone in the cast loved gossiping. An assistant make-up artist, sitting to the left side of Liu Man, was discussing with an assistant prop master at the right side of Liu Man,

"Who's supposed to be sitting next to Director Ye? Isn't everyone here already?"

"I just now walked over to see. The name tag on that chair reads 'Ye Ziliang.'"

"Who's Ye Ziliang? Wait, wait, wait. Isn't the name of our director named Ye Zian?"

"Mhm, so this Ye Ziliang must be Director Ye's brother."

The discussion between the pair unavoidably flowed into Liu Man's ears. But this wasn't related to her at all, so she didn't take it seriously.

Xue Yunfei, Lu Yi, and Cheng Fenglan were sitting at the second main table. There was an empty spot at the second main table, too.

Just as the hour hand of the clock stroke six, a silhouette Liu Man was familiar with ran in from the front doors. When the silhouette got into the section, it slowed down into strides as it swiftly went up to the second main table.

"Yunfei brother, sorry, sorry. I'm not tardy on purpose, but the traffic's bad right now," Coco apologized to Xue Yunfei as if she was scared he would get angry.
