Chapter 160 – Cooperation

Pei Ran and Tang Sugar chatted about the plot for a while. The more excited Tang Sugar became, the more she wrote on her iPad. Before long, she had written a simple outline.

The two discussed this simple outline. Pei Ran had personal experience and had been filming for so many years. He knew that professional things should be done by professionals. Tang Sugar had a professional background and was well versed in drama. As long as Pei Ran mentioned something, she would immediately come up with some new ideas. With Pei Ran’s encouragement, she became more and more energetic and inspired.

The two of them talked for hours, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and before they knew it, it was already evening.

Tang Sugar covered her growling stomach and looked at Pei Ran awkwardly.

Pei Ran had just come back to his senses and felt a little guilty. He had always been a very proper person, and seldom made this kind of mistake. Only things related to movies could make him fully immersed in the topic, so that he would completely forget his surroundings.

Although Tang Sugar still had many shortcomings, she was very flexible in her thinking. If some ideas were too wild she would correct them. Moreover, she had a strong learning ability. Many times, as long as Pei Ran put forward the crux of the problem, she would react and immediately correct it, and would never make the same mistake again.

Although Pei Ran had rich experience, he sometimes fell into the stereotype thinking pattern because of his own experience, which was not as novel and interesting as Tang Sugar’s ideas.

Although Pei Ran had his own ideas, he was not this type of person who didn’t listen to other people’s opinions. Both of them were very complementary and their previous awkwardness and hesitation about each other’s ability disappeared after this conversation.

Pei Ran was even a little glad that he had chosen Tang Sugar.

Tang Sugar was no longer confident in this conversation, blushing bright red and covering her stomach with embarrassment.

Pei Ran thoughtfully pretended not to hear it and said with a smile, “It’s already time to eat at this point. You just came here today and you are not familiar with the surroundings. Let me take you to eat some local specialties.”

Tang Sugar nodded repeatedly. Under the pretext of going to the bathroom, she finally calmed down and came out.

Pei Ran had already paid the bill and stood at the door waiting for her. One hand was put in his pocket and the other hand was holding a small cake. When Tang Sugar came, he smiled and handed the cake to her. “It’s a little far to the place where we’ll eat. First, you need to eat something to cushion your stomach.”

Tang Sugar covered her face and felt that she was about to blush again. She could only constantly remind herself of Pei Ran’s age and pour cold water on herself in order not to let her imagination go wild.

In fact, Pei Ran’s gesture had no special meaning to him. Thanks to the education he had received since childhood he had formed such a gentlemanly behaviour. In Hong Kong in the last century it was nothing more than a show of good manners, but now his behavior, coupled with his face, multiplied the killing power, so it was no wonder Tang Sugar couldn’t resist.

Pei Ran called a taxi, and they drove to the restaurant.

This restaurant was very famous and during mealtimes it was very crowded. Their private rooms had been booked a long time ago and they could only sit in the hall to eat.

Pei Ran’s appearance was outstanding even among stars, not to mention among a group of ordinary people.

Many people secretly looked at them while eating, even the * * ones. They looked at Tang Sugar with envy, jealousy and hate.

Tang Sugar had already prepared psychologically along the way, and now she experienced a series of actions such as Pei Ran helping to pull the stool out for her or pouring water. Although she still felt a little cramped, she was no longer blushing with a fast heartbeat as before.

Pei Ran was obviously used to being surrounded by people. He did not squint at all and was very calm. Tang Sugar couldn’t help but straighten out and put forward her chest, learning from him how to ignore the eyes around them.

Although she couldn’t see them, her ears still clearly caught a conversation from the other table.

That table was full of young girls that should be college students.

“That little brother is so handsome! It’s a pity that he already has a girlfriend… “

“How do you know it is his girlfriend, maybe a sister?”

“But their faces are not of the same standard at all. This woman is too ugly.”

“Gene mutation…”

“Ha ha ha ha ha…”

Tang Sugar got angry, but they didn’t call her by name, so she could only swallow her anger.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ran suddenly stood up and called for the water. “Hello, can you give us different seats?”

The waiter was stunned for a moment and then said awkwardly, “I’m sorry. Most of our tables are full right now, so you may not be able to change tables ——Well, is there any point where our service is lacking? Just tell me, I’ll change it for you right away.”

Pei Ran smiled and said softly, “No, it’s just a little noisy.”

When he said that, the people at the next table seemed to choke, and their laughter stopped abruptly.

After the waiter left, Tang Sugar covered her mouth forcefully, to not let her smile leak out. Although she didn’t see the faces at the other table, she could still imagine them. Although it was a bit mean, she really felt good.

She just didn’t expect that Pei Ran would help her out.

Tang Sugar waited for her smile to disappear, then lowered her hand and whispered to Pei Ran, “Thank you.”

Pei Ran blinked and whispered, “It was really a bit noisy.”

They both laughed, and with this little episode, their relationship became more harmonious and natural.

However, in the middle of their meal, a waiter came over, bowed and said to Pei Ran, “Hello, Sir. Your bill has been settled. You and your guest are invited to the private room upstairs.”

Pei Ran’s chopsticks froze and he asked, “Who is it?”

The waiter shook his head. “He said, you can guess.”

After the waiter passed these words, he left.

Pei Ran thought for a moment and guessed it, so he stood up and said, “Come on, let’s go and meet this generous friend.”

Tang Sugar was still at a loss. “Who is it? A friend of yours?”

Pei Ran said with a smile, “I guess it is Director Xie and Mr. Yang.”

Tang Sugar was shocked and then reacted. According to Pei Ran, this restaurant was very famous. It was normal for Director Xie to bring Yang Yizhou to eat here, and this mysterious behavior was very typical of her martial uncle’s temperament.

They came to a room upstairs, knocked on the door, and a voice sounded, “Come in!” It was Director Xie’s voice.

Pei Ran opened the door and, as expected, saw Director Xie and Yang Yizhou sitting together. There was still a table full of unattached dishes in front of them.

Seeing Pei Ran’s calm attitude, Director Xie guessed he obviously wasn’t surprised, and couldn’t help chuckling. “I have told you, he could definitely guess it, and you still had to bet with me! I’m telling you, I’ve recorded all your words. Don’t try to deny it.”
