Chapter 206 - Super Star Potential (2/2)
If someone else, even if it was a celebrity, made her wait, she would have been very unhappy, even if she was willing to wait. Especially for such trivial matters like a meal. No way she would wait for them.
But she was willing to wait for Meng Fan, very willing. She even asked the others to wait for him.
Was Meng Fan’s charm that effective? Or was it his smile’s appeal? Yeah right.
She was nice because Meng Fan had brought Su Qing Cen several good reviews as her number one fan. Was it just his assistance during her performances? No, that would only warrant some basic politeness like other collaborating artists.
Was it because she knew Meng Fan’s sister was Meng Cai Wei? Yes, that was right!
Meng Cai Wei did not only have a big name, but she had a big temper too. The key point here was that even a harsh and brazen person like Hu Yi Jing had been ripped apart by Meng Cai Wei before, and very roughly at that. In the end, Meng Cai Wei had repaired her back together, and since then Hu Yi Jing was completely defeated by Meng Cai Wei’s temper and respected her.
She couldn’t afford to upset Meng Fan knowing his origin!
Besides, there was another important factor—since she could just hide from him if she didn’t want to upset him—and that was how she had seen Meng Fan’s potential.
It was not just a regular potential either, but the potential to be a superstar!
She trusted her own judgment!
“Meng boss is here.”
Hu Yi Jing followed Su Qing Cen and Bai Zhi, calling him Meng boss as well with a hint of sarcasm and a hint of familiarity and welcomed him into their private room. “I remember you liked to eat shrimp dumplings with black pine bamboo, so I’ve ordered that for you. Oh, and these too, you can see what else you’d like to eat.”
“Thanks, sister Jing, then let’s get two… No four more orders of the dumplings.”
Meng Fan didn’t hold back. These dumplings were delicious.
Meng Fan always had a good impression of Hu Yi Jing. She was very polite but friendly. She had a sense of things, and she was radiating with maturity, femininity, success, independence, and knowledge from head to toe. Plus, her smile was very heartwarming too.
Yes, it was heartwarming. Meng Fan never felt like Hu Yi Jing had a ‘smiling tiger’ air to her, and only saw genuine warmth and familiarity in her smile.
Everyone said that pretty people saw the world differently from average-looking people, and this applied to rich people as well—Meng Cai Wei was one of these treasure chests.
“Want anything else aside from dumplings?”
Seeing Meng Fan nod, Hu Yi Jing asked the waiter to add some more dishes while bringing their food at the same time.
Aside from Hu Yi Jing and Su Qing Cen, there were a few more staff members present as well. Although they didn’t think Meng Fan was some super idol, they had nothing to say as they saw Su Qing Cen and Hu Yi Jing’s attitude toward him. The girls were already waiting for him, could they say no?
“This is really good, try it.”
Su Qing Cen was sitting next to Meng Fan and had been continuously putting food on Meng Fan’s plate. She was in a superb mood seeing Meng Fan happily gobble up all the food.
It wasn’t anything complicated, she just remembered what Meng Cai Wei had said to her at her last concert in Shanghai, about Meng Fan being very attractive as a kid but then his sisters fed him too much and he got fat. Meng Cai Wei had mentioned, in the beginning, they were just happy to see Meng Fan eating for some reason, but then they got addicted, and then he changed.
“Meng boss.”
They ate for 15 minutes or so when the second plate of shrimp and black truffle bamboo dumplings were served. Hu Yi Jing put the dumplings directly in front of Meng Fan then remembered something. “I forgot. Last time when the 11/11 gala ended, several people in our industry had asked us if they could collaborate with you, including variety shows, concerts, and MV companies, as well as some commercials. I know you said you don’t want to attend unless it’s streamed, but I didn’t reject them either, thinking it’d be best to ask you personally. I looked through them, and the quality of these invitations seem to be okay.”
