After the pleasantries were over, the group set out for Shangri-La.
As they entered the already reserved hall, Ren Xing, who was in charge of arranging the venue, was the first to rush over. He burst out laughing upon seeing them,"Hahaha! Little Brother, you’re finally here! Come on in, come on in!"
Actually, Wang Hao’s relationship with Ren Xing was absolutely solid, but at that moment, he was stunned when he saw him.
Wang Hao rubbed his eyes hard, shocked, "Ren Xing, what have you been up to lately? How did you get so slim?!"
It wasn’t surprising that he was astonished. Ren Xing used to be a bulky Shanxi man, over two hundred pounds, like a small mountain. But now, looking at him again, he almost had a six-pack, with a perfect inverted triangle physique, wearing a white T-shirt that revealed his slightly bronzed skin...
Holy shit, how many young girls would he mesmerize?!
"Heh heh, looking good, huh?" Ren Xing laughed heartily, slapping his arm onto Wang Hao’s shoulder, making everyone around feel like Wang Hao was talking to a blind bear, "Let me tell you, before I used to spend money to hook up with girls, but now, they all come to me willingly, and I can’t even shoo them away if I wanted to. Annoying, isn’t it..."
Does your wife know about this?!
"Ahahaha, just pretend I didn’t say that," Ren Xing realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly changed the subject: "Anyway, where’s my nephew? We’ve got to call him over for the film premiere celebration today!"
"Right," Wang Hao nodded, smiling, "I was just thinking of meeting up with you first. Don’t worry, I’ll call him right now."
Wang Hao then called Ren Xing.
After all, it was Ren Xing who had invested in the film, and as family, he naturally needed to be called.
Soon the phone connected, and Ren Xing answered, "Brother Hao, what’s up?"
"Domestic Agent premieres today," Wang Hao said cheerfully into the phone, "Your uncle and I are at Shangri-La right now. Are you busy? If not, hurry over! We’re having a celebration banquet today!"
"Is there food?!" Ren Xing’s spirits lifted immediately when he heard about food, "Brother Hao, will there be dishes made by you? I haven’t enjoyed anything as much as your cooking since last time!"
At that moment, voices of Zhao Zhenhao, Fang Wenbin, and several other close friends could be heard through the phone, "Brother Hao, are you cooking today? If you are, count us in! Hahahaha! We’ve been starving these past few days, nothing tastes good!"
This bunch of gluttons!
"After the celebration, I’ll cook up a small feast for you guys!" Wang Hao said, "Come on over, we’ve got some other stuff to talk about anyway."
Yes, we need to shoot War Wolf, and I can’t leave my closest buddies out of such great news. Can’t just keep good things to myself and only call for help when there’s trouble, right?
"Sure!" Zhao Zhenhao took over the phone, "We’re all at Brother Fei’s company, we’ll be right there, Brother Hao, wait for us!"
"Sure, hurry over," Wang Hao said with a laugh before hanging up. He then looked at Ren Xing, "Ren Xing, Ren Xing will be here soon, along with a few friends of mine, is that alright?"
"No problem!" Ren Xing was as magnanimous as ever, looking at Wang Hao with an expression that could not be more attentive, "Your friends are welcome to come, we surely won’t run out of chopsticks."
Indeed, Ren Xing wouldn’t run out of a few extra pairs of chopsticks, even a hundred or more extra would be a minor matter to him.
While waiting for the others, Wang Hao introduced Bai Ze and his family’s Mao Mao to Ren Xing, who was immediately astonished, "Oh hello, hello, it’s the young master of the Bai family, forgive my manners, please, come this way, come this way!"
Bai Ze, having his hand gripped by Ren Xing, grimaced from the tight shake, quickly pulling his hand away when it was over, "It’s fine, it’s fine, no need to be so polite." His hand was all red!
Ren Xing and the others arrived quickly, and as soon as Ren Xing entered the hall, he charged towards Wang Hao, shouting as he walked, "Brother Hao! I’ve missed you. Come give your brother a big hug—!!!"
Before he could react, Ren Xing had already hugged him tightly, shouting, "Brother Hao, you can’t go back on your word!"
"I won’t, I won’t, have a seat first," Wang Hao pushed everyone down to their seats.
This group was his core team, so naturally, they needed to be treated well.
Being all insiders, there was no need for formalities. Zhao Zhenhao and others greeted Bai Ze as soon as they sat down," Brother Bai!" "Brother Bai, long time no see!"
"Haha, long time no see indeed," Bai Ze waved his hands with a smile, "I didn’t expect that you knew Little Wang as well, how have you been lately?"
"Not bad," Zhao Zhenhao acted like a little brother in front of Bai Ze, "Brother Bai, why don’t you come by and see me sometime? We used to hang out when we were young, but now we’ve grown apart."
Fang Wenbin joined the conversation, "Exactly, Brother Bai, have you been well in recent years? The last time I saw you was at your wedding."
Their relationship seemed pretty good...
In a whisper, Bai Yaning introduced to Wang Hao, "My cousin has always been an odd one, well connected with both the Zhao and Fang families. Otherwise, my dad wouldn’t have asked me to go on a date with Zhao Zhenhao...you know."
With that said, Wang Hao immediately understood.
No wonder, there was this layer of relationship in the blind date between Bai Yaning and Zhao Zhenhao. It was indeed a good connection.
Friends meeting was exceptionally delightful, but only after a few topics everyone was getting into the conversation.
Just as everything was going well, unexpectedly, while everyone was happily chatting, a few people suddenly walked in through the door.
The moment these few people entered, the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly changed!
It was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a black suit, with no less than eight bodyguards following him. He walked in with his chest puffed out, surrounded by his entourage.
With him were Li Bomming, Liu Qiwen, Meng Zenan, and several other acquaintances who were not exactly friendly. On the other side, Wang Hao also noticed an old acquaintance - it was Yu Zhinan, the young actor from Domestic Agent!
"Young Master, what a narrow path for enemies!" Li Bomming saw Wang Hao and Bai Ze from a distance and immediately smiled, "Brother Bai, Mr. Bai, I didn’t expect to see you here!"
Meng Zenan also sneered on the side, "Oh, what a coincidence, it’s the crew of Domestic Agent. I had heard about their film premiering on TV and online today, but imagine running into them here."
The leader of the group, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved up, said, "Indeed, a narrow path for enemies. I see many familiar faces: Zhao Zhenhao, Fang Wenbin, Bai Ze... Hey, I didn’t expect to see Feifei here too, hahaha! This is too interesting!"
