331 Chapter 331. Offense
The sponsor had set the venue at a five-star hotel near the film Park.
Before the banquet, Ding Shan picked out a long-sleeved black dress with a short silver jacket. The combination of black and silver was low-key but luxurious.
When they arrived at the hotel, there were three sponsors. Ding Shan had seen one of them before; it seemed to be Wang Shi.
Wang Shi was about 40 years old this year. He was about 1.7 meters tall, slightly chubby, and had a beer belly. His wrinkled face was oily, and his small eyes revealed cunning and guile.
“Miss Ding, this way, please. It’s a surprise that Miss ding can come to the banquet. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Wang Shi, and this is Boss Li…”
Both of them walked into the hotel as they talked. Ding Shan had a polite smile on her face. She was about to say a few words to Wang Shi when she realized that Wang Shi was very close to her. She could even smell the man’s perfume and a hint of aromatic tobacco.
Ding Shan’s eyes turned cold. She took two steps back silently, trying to distance herself from Wang Shi. However, she did not expect Wang Shi to stick to her again.
“Miss Ding, my parents like ‘Little City Girl’. They said that if I ever get the chance to see you, I must get your autograph …” Wang Shi said with a smile.
When they reached the elevator, the people in the elevator came out one after another. Wang Shi reached out as if to put his hand on Ding Shan’s waist, seemingly gentlemanly to protect her from being hit by others.
Following behind Ding Shan, Xiao Zhao also felt something was wrong. Before Wang Shi could place his hand on Ding Shan’s waist, she pulled Ding Shan behind her and glared at Wang Shi like an angry lioness, “Mr. Wang, please watch your words. Speak when you want to, but don’t move your hands.”
Wang Shi laughed awkwardly. Behind him, President Li also hurriedly chided Wang Shi, “Director Wang, don’t scare Miss Ding.”
President Li took the initiative to stand between Wang Shi and Ding Shan, separating them. When the elevator arrived, he said to Ding Shan politely, “Miss Ding, please.”
Ding Shan furrowed her brows. At this moment, she didn’t want to take this elevator anymore. Wang Shi’s eyes that were glued to her made her feel disgusted.
Xiao Zhao’s expression was also hideous. She looked at the three of them coldly and said, “Is this your attitude when you talk about cooperation? I’m sorry if that’s your attitude, but we don’t want to talk anymore.”
Upon hearing this, President Li immediately became anxious. He glared at Wang Shi and said to Ding Shan sincerely, “Miss Ding, I’m sorry. Director Wang is usually careless and has accidentally offended you. I apologize on his behalf. I’ll let him go immediately if you don’t want to see him. We want to talk about cooperation with you. We’ve arranged the best scenes for you in the commercial. As for the cooperation price, it will not disappoint you!”
President Li’s attitude was still acceptable. Xiao Zhao glanced at Wang Shi. “Then please ask Director Wang to keep a distance from our Shanshan. If he does anything overboard, we’ll leave immediately.”
Since Ding Shan had already come to the hotel, it would be equivalent to having a falling out with the sponsor if she turned around and left. Xiao Zhao was also very clear that no matter what, she had to finish today’s meal before leaving.
When Wang Shi heard Xiao Zhao’s words, his expression turned ugly. Seeing that Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao had no intention of backing down, he hesitated for two seconds, gritted his teeth, and took a few steps back, keeping his distance from Ding Shan.
Ding Shan coldly looked at Wang Shi, and the group finally got into the elevator.
The air conditioner in the hotel was on, and it was a little hot as they entered. There were already more than a dozen dishes on the table.
Ding Shan placed her handbag on the table, tidied her clothes, and slowly sat down.
“Miss Ding, we don’t know what your tastes are. These are the hotel’s signature dishes. They should taste good. Try them first.” President Li said enthusiastically.
Ding Shan smiled courteously. “I’m not having dinner. President Li, you guys can have dinner.”
President Li was stunned. “How can that be? These dishes were all specially ordered for you, Miss Ding. Is Miss Ding still holding a grudge over Director Wang’s matter? How about this? Let’s have a drink, and this matter will be over. When we reach an agreement, I’ll ask Director Wang to bring a gift to apologize to Miss Ding personally. Is that okay?”
As he spoke, the man sitting next to President Li filled the glass in front of Ding Shan.
“Our Shanshan doesn’t know how to drink. Mr. Li, aren’t you making things difficult for her?” Xiao Zhao frowned and said in dissatisfaction.
Xiao Zhao could also tell that Ding Shan did not eat the food on the table because she was wary of these people.
