Chu Ge was sweating a bit, "It's really her looking for you. If you don't believe me, check your phone, the call just now was from her."

Qin Ruojing was stunned, hesitated for two seconds, and then suspiciously said, "You... really aren't joking with me?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, "It's really her. Hurry up and answer the phone. If I'm lying, give me a raise, okay?"

Seeing Chu Ge's amusing yet speechless expression, Qin Ruojing blinked her eyes, quickly wiped the water off her hands on Chu Ge's apron, and grabbed the phone.

Even though Chu Ge was so sure, Qin Ruojing was still a bit incredulous. She answered the phone tentatively with a trembling "Hello."

"Miss Qin, it's really difficult to reach you. I've called you three times now."

"Sorry, I'm really sorry, Miss He, my phone just happened to be on silent."

As soon as Qin Ruojing heard He Qing's voice, her heart started racing and she instantly regretted missing He Qing's calls despite answering so many others.

Letting He Qing call her three times? That was an immense honor!

"Haha, it's alright. I wonder if Miss Qin has time to come to Papas Hotel now? I have something I'd like to discuss with you face-to-face."

"I do." Qin Ruojing quickly said.

"Great, I'll be waiting for you. Oh, and bring Mr. Chu along. You might need him to help you handle the drinks, perhaps?"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Ruojing still felt like she was dreaming. She knew He Qing had indeed invited her, but she instinctively glanced at Chu Ge, "The call just now was really from Miss He?"

Chu Ge amusingly shook his head, "No, you're dreaming."

"Oh, come off it, let's go, right away."

Qin Ruojing punched Chu Ge lightly, turned around, and quickly left the kitchen, first looking at her missed calls on her phone, then standing in front of the bathroom mirror, fixing her collar, quickly applying some concealer on her dark circles, sprayed a little perfume, and then took a quick breath, urging Chu Ge.

It was only after Chu Ge took off his apron and changed his shoes at the door that she suddenly remembered something.

At this time, shouldn't He Qing be having dinner with Long Tao? Why did she call her now, wanting her to come over?

Anyway, since He Qing had already called her and she agreed, even if it were a banquet with hidden intentions, she'd still have to go and see what was happening.

Meanwhile, at Papas Hotel, in a luxurious private room.

He Qing ended the call with an elegant smile, expressing her gratitude to those around her, yet her mind drifted to the words Chu Ge had just said, truly feeling a bit of envy towards Qin Ruojing.

"This Byakugan, actually has such a good relationship with Qin Ruojing, joking so freely. He's never been so casual with me, seems I need to work harder..."

More than twenty minutes later, Chu Ge parked the car at Papas Hotel's parking lot, and together with Qin Ruojing, went upstairs and arrived at the room they had arranged with He Qing.

Looking at the door, Qin Ruojing felt a bit lacking in confidence, hesitating for several seconds without knocking.

Chu Ge chuckled, "Chairwoman, should we head back?"

Qin Ruojing looked at Chu Ge. She knew Chu Ge was encouraging her, took a deep breath, finally knocked on the door, and then stepped inside.

As soon as she entered, Qin Ruojing was immediately stunned, her pupils contracted sharply, instinctively thinking she had walked into the wrong room.

In her sight, there was no sign of Long Tao. He Qing sat elegantly at the head of a large table, with three bodyguards standing behind her, and the positions on either side were empty. The rest of the seats were filled with people, all of whom... were faces Qin Ruojing never dreamed she would see here.

It's no exaggeration to say that if any one of these people appeared on the street, within a minute it would absolutely cause a sensational stir, and traffic could even be disrupted.

As for these people gathering together, that's... that's simply a breathtaking scene!

Even though Qin Ruojing always prided herself on her strong mentality, her heart was pounding like a rapid drumbeat at this moment, as if it could leap out of her throat at any second.

At the large round table, the first person on the left past the empty seat, wearing an impeccably tailored, expensive suit, had a square face. Even though he was already sixty years old, the eyes beneath his strong brows were sharp and lively, showing no signs of aging. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as remarkably handsome and vigorous.

This person, a celebrated actor with a career spanning decades, boasted exquisite acting skills and held an extraordinary status in the international film scene, revered by countless fans as "Brother Fa".

Next to "Brother Fa" sat another individual who, despite being younger, had a full head of white hair and appeared more weathered. Yet seeing him would inevitably evoke cherished memories in many people, as he had brought endless laughter to countless audiences on the silver screen.

This person's stature was comparable to "Brother Fa"; just last year, a movie he personally directed grossed 218 million US dollars, creating a box office legend for Chinese-language films!

This man, fondly called "Star Master" by many, is undoubtedly the "King of Comedy"!

On the right side, the first person past the empty seat had a big nose and a high nose bridge, with numerous wrinkles around his eyes and a remarkably friendly smile on his face. Though dressed quite casually, no one would underestimate him in the slightest.

His films, like those of the previous two, wielded unparalleled influence in the film industry. Famous for performing his own stunts in action films, he could undoubtedly be considered a superstar among superstars in the film industry as well!

Aside from these three entertainment industry tycoons, Qin Ruojing's gaze fell upon many other familiar faces, who also turned out to be leading actors from the country!

Looking at these people, Qin Ruojing instinctively swallowed; from childhood to now, she had never doubted her eyes as much as at this moment.

"Miss Qin, Mr. Chu, please come in quickly. I have reserved seats for you, and everyone is waiting for you,"

It wasn't until He Qing's voice came to her ears that Qin Ruojing snapped back to reality. Despite wanting to appear composed and casual, her steps were somewhat mechanical, and the smile on her face seemed a bit forced.

To be honest, not only Qin Ruojing but even Chu Ge was genuinely amazed by the arrangement, not expecting that in just two days and one night, He Qing could assemble all these people here without causing any sensation.

It wasn't a doubt about He Qing's capability, just surprising that He Qing gave Qin Ruojing such significant favor.

Another thing Chu Ge couldn't understand was why he, merely a secretary and driver for Qin Ruojing, was given a place at the table by He Qing.

As Qin Ruojing sat down next to He Qing with a slightly stiff posture, Chu Ge didn't take his seat but politely said to He Qing, "Miss He, isn't it inappropriate for me to sit here?"

Chu Ge's words caused several of the celebrity bigwigs present to pause slightly, not expecting Chu Ge to question He Qing's words.

He Qing smiled and replied, "Mr. Chu, since I invited you and Miss Qin over, I regard you as friends. Among friends, there's no such thing as inappropriate; please sit down."

Since He Qing had put it that way, it was hard for Chu Ge to refuse further. He had no choice but to sit on her other side, growing increasingly perplexed about what exactly He Qing intended to do.

Meanwhile, upon hearing He Qing's words, everyone present discreetly assessed Chu Ge.

After all, coming from He Qing, the word "friends" undoubtedly carried significant weight.

Once Chu Ge took his seat, He Qing elegantly smiled, introduced Qin Ruojing and Chu Ge to everyone, said some words of thanks, and proactively raised a glass of wine, marking the official start of the dinner.

When Qin Ruojing got the chance to truly mingle up close with these celebrity moguls, she found that except for "Star Master," who was a bit reticent, everyone else was very sociable and friendly, not putting on airs or acting high and mighty with her.

Of course, she knew very well that these people were not doing her a favor but offering respect to He Qing.

Amidst this harmonious atmosphere, Qin Ruojing gradually became less nervous. When He Qing mentioned something about movies and asked Qin Ruojing to communicate with everyone and make some arrangements according to these stars' schedules, she felt an increasingly strong sense of joy and excitement.

A movie featuring any one of these people would be a major draw, let alone such a gathering of stars; even the worst film would absolutely catch the audience's eye.

Besides, the script written by Du Lin would definitely not be a bad film.

The atmosphere during the meal was very cordial and pleasant. Although Qin Ruojing wasn't particularly good with alcohol, she still shared a drink with each superstar present, while Chu Ge refrained from drinking under the excuse of needing to drive, quietly pondering the purpose behind He Qing's actions.

After several rounds of drinks and numerous dishes, Qin Ruojing communicated with the many stars about the movie matters, and once the general matters were roughly discussed, the dinner concluded, leaving the remaining details to be meticulously discussed in an office setting.

After finishing the meal, He Qing didn't part ways with Qin Ruojing right away but invited her to her room, while Chu Ge headed downstairs, waiting in the car.
