Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Should I Say What I’m Really Thinking?
Tang Li realized she had caused a mishap and looked at Ethan apologetically: “The cup was too hot, I couldn’t hold it properly. Are you OK? Did you get burned?”
“I’m… I’m fine.” Ethan endured the burning pain, forced a smile, and tried to act as if he was unharmed.
Tang Li bent down to pick up the glass on the floor: “Since you’re fine, then I’m relieved.”
After saying that, she gave Ethan an innocent smile.
Ethan felt as if he had been skinned alive, the pain distracting him from all else. He couldn’t bother with Tang Li and stood up: “I’m going to the restroom for a bit.”
About 20 minutes later, Ethan came out of the restroom.
Tang Li and the others had already ordered and served the dishes.
When taking her seat, Tang Li noticed that Jiang Yiniing had chosen the spot next to Ethan’s “father.”
Ethan had just sat down next to Tang Li when he heard her ask: “I heard that Golden Sand Group is planning to invest in a port project in Shangbu. Is that true?”
Lai Shengxia had crafted the image of the Winter family as a big local family in Las Vegas, and of course, Ethan knew it. When Tang Li came to him for confirmation, his task was to convince Tang Li of the rumors about the Winter family.
So, he poured himself a glass of red wine and said: “These years, I’ve been focused on studying photography, and my father doesn’t like to discuss company matters with the family.”
He turned his head to look at Tang Li: “If you want to know, when we go to Las Vegas, I’ll take you for a tour at the headquarters of Golden Sand Group.”
Tang Li nodded: “Even if I can’t star in your film, I still want to visit the United States.” She then turned to look at Ethan: “I also heard that your family has a private island in Fiji.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fiɾe·net
Ethan enjoyed the adoration of young girls: “I bought a yacht the year before last. If you’re not afraid of the water, we could go out to sea and spend a holiday on the island.”
Jiang Yiniing also heard Ethan’s words.
Ethan’s generous promises to Tang Li made her grip her wine glass tight.
Suddenly, a large hand landed on Jiang Yiniing’s thigh.
In her ear was the awkward speaking voice of a middle-aged man: “Miss Jiang and Miss Tang are still in school, already acting in films—I admire that, and it fits the image of the movie’s female lead we’re looking for: strong and unyielding, step by step towards success.”
Jiang Yiniing had already learned from him that they planned to shoot a sci-fi movie about tomb-raiding, similar to Tomb Raider.
The male lead of the film might be an Oscar-winning actor.
If she could act alongside an Oscar-winning actor, even if the movie’s box office was poor, when she returned to her country to develop her career, her status would rise, and she would no longer be just an unknown newcomer.
Both being directors, Chairman Liang paled in comparison to the senior ranks of Golden Sand Group.
After the meal, Ethan offered to take Tang Li back.
Tang Li looked into his handsome eyes, her lips curving into a slight smile: “I’d also like to get to know the local customs of Las Vegas.”
“In that case, I won’t join you all.”
Jiang Yiniing flicked the hair by her ear and left the private dining room first.
Soon after, Ethan’s father, Adolf Winter, also set down his wine glass and stood up: “Ethan, you take Miss Tang back to school. I have some things to take care of and will leave first.”
After he left, Tang Li struck up a conversation with Ethan: “For someone of your father’s status to go out without bodyguards, seems quite shabby.”
Tang Li didn’t expect an answer and called the waiter to pay the bill.
The waiter quickly brought over a check.
Ethan, looking at the bill of over fifty thousand placed in front of him, cursed silently, while the waiter had already passed the pen over.
