An Zhongzai trotted up to Ye Zhiqiu, panting slightly and said, "Sorry, Mr. Ye, for disturbing me."

"Tonight we have a celebration banquet in the hotel to celebrate the success of this award ceremony. I hope you can attend."

"Now?" Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and said subconsciously: "Thank you for the invitation, but I won't go."

An Zhongzai said quickly: "If possible, I still hope Mr. Ye will show my favor."

"Tonight's success is thanks to Mr. Ye's wonderful performance. If the celebration party did not have you, it would always feel like something was missing."

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, and the assistant who came next to him took the initiative to step forward and said: "I'm sorry, Minister An."

"I remember that there was no provision in the contract to attend the celebration banquet, so I didn't attend the celebration banquet."

Ye Zhiqiu has never been keen on such occasions. Moreover, it is obvious that the celebration party is all locals, and he does not understand why he is going there.

An Zhongzai's face became anxious, he bent down, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "Mr. Ye, please!"

"It's really just a small celebration banquet. I promise it won't take you a long time..."

An Zhongzai's move of bending 90° shocked everyone, as they did not expect him to do this move.

Logically speaking, this guy is already at the ministerial level, a full-fledged middle- and high-level manager. I really don’t understand why he has to personally invite Ye Zhiqiu to such a celebration banquet, and he says, “I won’t be able to afford it if you don’t go.”

” posture.

An Zhong's assistant was also in a dilemma here and looked at Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu thought about it for a while, and since he had not even eaten dinner yet, he decided to treat it as dinner, so he agreed.

"Okay."

An Zhongzai suddenly raised his head, his expression overjoyed.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't hesitate, and said to the "Girls of the Times" members on the side: "Let's go, let's go together."

Before the "Girls of the Times" could say anything, An Zhongzai quickly interrupted.

"Um...Mr. Ye, I'm sorry..."

An Zhongzai looked embarrassed and said: "This celebration banquet...only guests from the ceremony are invited, so..."

What kind of rule is this? It’s a banquet anyway, so you don’t even want a few extra pairs of chopsticks?

Ye Zhiqiu frowned slightly and said, "Then there's no need to go."

An Zhong was in a hurry and didn't know how to convince Ye Zhiqiu, so he just bowed at 90° again.

Ye Zhiqiu ignored the other party and walked towards the business car.

At this time, it was Zhao Qin, the captain of "Girls of the Times" who spoke out to resolve the awkward atmosphere.

"Director Ye, you don't have to pay attention to us. We don't want to go to eat just yet. We want to seize the opportunity to visit the night market here."

On the side, several other members echoed incessantly.

"Yes, yes, I don't want to attend any celebration party."

"I passed by a street that seemed very lively in the afternoon. Let's go check it out later."

"Director Ye, go ahead and we will meet you then."

It stands to reason that this kind of celebration banquet will be attended by many well-known people in the industry, and it is a good opportunity to make connections. It is always beneficial to participate. Naturally, they do not want Ye Zhiqiu to miss this opportunity because of themselves.

An Zhongzai's face lit up and he said quickly: "Yes, yes, I will send someone to accompany a few ladies. This place is not far from the busiest night market!"

Several girls waved their hands, "No, you can just send Director Ye off. We just want to walk around and take our own cars."

Since several people had said this, Ye Zhiqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then you should pay attention to safety."

Several people smiled and expressed their knowledge. An Zhong was overjoyed and said quickly: "Mr. Ye, please come this way!"

After confirming the location of the hotel, which was in the urban area not far from here, Ye Zhiqiu parted ways with "Girl of the Times" and got into the luxury business car arranged by An Zhongzai.

The business car drove very fast along the way, as if afraid that Ye Zhiqiu would run away, and arrived at the entrance of a high-end hotel.

"Mr. Ye, the banquet is here, so I won't attend."

After bringing Ye Zhiqiu to him, An Zhongzai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his expression suddenly relaxed.

The waiter with exquisite makeup led Ye Zhiqiu to the door of a luxuriously decorated box, knocked on the door and left.

There is a lot of space in the private room, but there are not many people sitting there. When they hear the knock on the door, everyone looks over here.

Ye Zhiqiu was slightly startled when he noticed the people in the box.

Lee Seung-seok, from the MISSSIX girl group, and Han Ji-soo were also there, as well as two strangers, a man and a woman. Judging from the way they were dressed in business attire, they must not be entertainers.

In addition, sitting at the main table is...Kim Mi-young.

Isn't this the celebration banquet of the "Asian Music Awards"? Why are there so many people? Although he doesn't like crowded occasions, it is a bit different from what he imagined.

And...if I remember correctly, Lee Seung-seok and MISSSIX are all members of Kim Mi-young's company, so it was like a company party of SG Entertainment.

Just when Ye Zhiqiu was confused, Jin Meiying had already stood up and came over with a smile.

"Mr. Ye, welcome."

Li Chengshi and MISSSIX probably didn't know it was them who were coming, and their eyes were quite surprised.

The moment he saw Ye Zhiqiu, Li Chengshi's face darkened, while Han Zhixiu had a look of surprise.

"This is..." Ye Zhiqiu directly asked the question in his heart.

"It's a celebration party, right?" Kim Meiying said with a smile: "SG Entertainment is one of the largest sponsors of the Asian Music Awards, so this is the official celebration party, but there are fewer people."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Come, sit here Zhiqiu."

"This is the third time we've met. I think we should be friends. It's okay to call you Zhiqiu. You can just call me Meiying."

"..." Ye Zhiqiu replied: "No problem."

Although it felt a bit weird, everyone came and Ye Zhiqiu sat down in the room under the leadership of Jin Meiying.

Coincidentally, Ye Zhiqiu's seat was next to the main seat where Jin Meiying sat.

Logically speaking, apart from Kim Mi-young who is the boss, this position should be filled by the person with the highest status, and it should be Lee Seung-seok who is developing in Hollywood.

It's unclear what Jin Meiying's intention was for this arrangement, but Li Chengshi's face had turned as dark as ink ever since Jin Meiying asked Ye Zhiqiu to call her by her first name.

Ye Zhiqiu gathered everyone seated, and the banquet began.

One after another exquisite dishes were served, and Jin Meiying introduced them to Ye Zhiqiu with a smile, as if this was not a celebration banquet, but a dinner to entertain him, an honored guest.

"By the way, would you like some sake, Mr. Ye?"

Jin Meiying pointed to the crystal glass brought by the waiter and said.

Ye Zhiqiu declined: "No, I don't know how to drink, thank you."

Jin Meiying smiled and said: "The degree is not high, so it doesn't matter if you drink a little, right?"

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, but before he could speak, a faint voice came from the side.

"Although the visitor is a guest, isn't Mr. Ye a bit too disrespectful?"

"Meiying is the president of SG Entertainment, one of the largest brokerage companies in Asia. After all, buying you a drink is enough, right?

The person who said this was naturally Li Chengshi, who had not looked better since Ye Zhiqiu came in.
