Tang Jinyan brought Quan Youli around the banquet hall and started to build connections for her.
Quan Youli suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and greeted the guests with a smile on her face.
There were all kinds of production companies, distribution companies, major producers, famous directors, politicians, cinemas, television stations, magazines, and other important people. Some of them were serious about talking to Tang Jinyan about cooperation next year, while some were just trying to get acquainted with him. No matter what kind of people they were, Tang Jinyan introduced Quan Youli to them with a smile. He familiarized himself with them and also deeply engraved Tang Jinyan's name on Quan Youli's forehead in the entire film industry.
Quan Youli had been in the industry for almost seven years. Before her debut, she had shot advertisements. She could be considered a senior in the industry. However, she still felt that she had not met as many important people in the industry as she had known in the past seven or eight years.
Sun Yizhen had once brought her to attend gatherings in the industry. However, the level and scope of those gatherings were still much lower than the Green Dragon Film Festival.
Quan Youli even felt that she was starting to be face-blind. She could remember the names of the people at the beginning, but she could not remember the names at the end. She could not even put down the business cards she received.
This was the light around him.
It was no wonder that in recent years, she felt that Yun 'er and Xiaoxian's careerism had faded a lot. They did not seem to be aggressive anymore … It was because the world they saw was already different from everyone else.
Quan Youli even saw Song Ji-hyo. She walked among the guests with a confident smile. From time to time, there were artists who would talk to her with a flattering smile.
She was already a member of the upper class in the industry. Her identity had been reversed as if the world had been turned upside down.
Originally, Quan Youli thought that if she did not exist, Tang Jinyan's female companion would be Song Ji-hyo. She wondered if her interference would make Senior Zhixiao unhappy.
When she saw the situation at the banquet, she realized that she had thought too much.
Song Ji-hyo was already a high-ranking official in this field. She did not need to and should not follow Tang Jinyan everywhere like a shadow.
If it weren't for her, perhaps the one holding Tang Jinyan's arm would be Luo Meilan, who won the Best Supporting Actress Award for "Suyuan". She was an auntie, so she wouldn't affect Tang Jinyan's reputation. After entering the banquet, everyone would look for their own mothers. The lonely Tang Jinyan might hook up with an enchanting woman at the banquet and have a night of fun.
That was a normal script, but now that she was involved, he couldn't hook up with her anymore.
Quan Youli looked around at her peers who were staring at her with their green eyes. She broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead. She seemed to have inadvertently become a shield to block flies and attract hatred for him.
Speaking of which … would he want me to replace the last step in a normal scenario?
In the past, he definitely wouldn't. But today, it was hard to say. Who knew what he was thinking today?
Of course, they had to drink during the banquet.
Although it was just a casual banquet, there were too many new people she met. Halfway through the banquet, Quan Youli was still a little tipsy.
Tang Jinyan also drank a lot. He took a break and said to Quan Youli, "Take a seat. I'm going to the washroom."
Quan Youli subconsciously said, "I'm going too."
Tang Jinyan was stunned. He looked at her strangely.
Quan Youli's face was red. He did not know if it was because of the alcohol or because of the slip of the tongue.
He did not say anything. He pulled Quan Youli to the washroom.
When they reached the sink, there was no one around.
The two stopped at the same time and looked at each other.
At that moment, the same scene appeared in their minds. That day, he kissed Pu Hyomin here and was seen by Quan Youli. Even the location was the same. It was still the sink in the banquet hall of Xinluo Hotel.
What happened after that day?
Yes, after Pu Hyomin kissed Tang Jinyan, she turned around and kissed Quan Youli. She said, "I'm letting you taste it indirectly."
Their breaths became heavy at the same time.
Tang Jinyan suddenly said, "Have you and Hyomin been a lesbian before?"
Quan Youli murmured, "Y-Yes …"
Tang Jinyan's voice was a little strange. "Yun 'er and Hyomin … I don't know how much effort I put in to get them. I didn't expect you to have tasted both of them."
Quan Youli scratched her head. She did not know how to answer.
Tang Jinyan suddenly took a step forward. Quan Youli subconsciously stepped back and soon leaned against the wall.
Tang Jinyan continued to step forward and pushed her against the wall. He reached out and held her chin. After looking at her for a while, he said, "You've cuckolded me twice. How are you going to compensate me?"
Quan Youli's breathing was rapid. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She did not dare to look at him.
She found that she did not have the slightest resistance when he pushed her against the wall. She even almost blurted out, "I'll compensate you with myself."
However, she was not drunk in the end. Her remaining rationality suppressed the words. She gasped and said, "Do you still want to find a dignified reason for yourself?"
She did not know whether the words she had swallowed were more irrational or the words she said were more irrational.
In short, she got the expected ending.
Tang Jinyan seemed to be muttering to himself, "That's right. I don't need a reason." Then, he quickly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
Feeling his strong oppression, Quan Youli slowly closed her eyes, which were already a little blurry.
She even said that to the outside world, so it did not matter if she was not.
How could she be reserved in front of him?
Tang Jinyan's tongue was domineering. Quan Youli was a little confused. She parted her teeth slightly to welcome his invasion.
A man's kiss was really different from a woman's … Direct and indirect kisses were also different.
This overwhelming sense of suffocation, this confusion of not knowing where the world was.
In a daze, Sun Yizhen's words suddenly flashed in Quan Youli's mind. "A caged canary doesn't have a good future."
However, she still came to this step. She did not know whether she had seriously considered it or not.
Ever since she got into the car with him, she had been confused. No, perhaps it was from the moment she started to get in touch with him out of curiosity and developed a good impression of him. Until now, she was like a puppet, being led by an invisible thread. All the expressions she experienced along the way hinted at the inevitable ending.
Someone passed by and went to the bathroom.
When they saw the two of them kissing, no one cared. They all smiled knowingly and went back and forth as if nothing had happened.
Tang Jinyan did not care. Even Quan Youli herself did not seem to notice.
Everyone in the world had long seen it. So be it.
'Just be it …' When she thought of this, Quan Youli suddenly felt that something in her heart was broken. She became extremely relaxed.
She was originally passively receiving the kiss. Suddenly, she had some strength. She hugged him hard, and her lips and tongue intertwined with his.
'Just be it. So this is what it feels like.'
Lin Yuner and Xu Xian's smiling faces flashed in her mind again. She used to be puzzled by them. All kinds of teasing seemed to be talking about her. In the end, it solidified into a sentence she once said.
'If you have the guts, curse me!'
'So it's because I set a flag …' Even in the midst of passion, Quan Youli still laughed out loud at an inappropriate time.

PS: Today, I recommend a novel, Havoc in Daily Entertainment. I'm honored that the neon version of Havoc is finally born. Who else can I recommend?
The gentlemen must be very interested too.
