Chapter 126 Dissatisfaction
The first time seeing such a look on Li Jing’s face, Wei Jia couldn’t help but feel a slight tension inside and immediately explained, "President Li, I invited you over this time, of course, for a small gathering between friends.
But apart from that, there’s indeed another reason: Wen Lan wants to collaborate with you. Since it seemed better to discuss this matter in person, we didn’t inform you beforehand."
Saying this, she turned around to reintroduce Wen Lan’s identity, "President Li, Wen Lan is professionally trained, has participated in the production of several major films, and later served as a screenwriter for a few films. Last year, the film ’Youthful Memories,’ which she personally directed, premiered at the Celestial Sea International Film Festival and even won the New Director Award at the 43rd Film Awards."
After Wei Jia introduced herself, Wen Lan’s expression became more serious and respectful as she earnestly said to Li Jing, "President Li, the script for the film ’Mortal’ is already completed, and other works are progressing step by step. We asked Wei Jia to invite you over, hoping you could invest in our film."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing did not respond but continued to gaze at Wei Jia’s exquisite face.
Wei Jia’s expression changed slightly and had to explain again, "President Li, this matter may seem abrupt, but rest assured, it’s up to you. If you don’t want to, you can totally refuse. Let’s just treat it as having enjoyed a meal together."
Seeing the atmosphere was a bit off, Wen Lan didn’t want Wei Jia to feel troubled and said on her behalf, "Wei Jia is right, President Li. If you find investment value, then invest; if not, you can refuse. We didn’t mean that you must invest."
Li Jing glanced at the two and then slowly spoke, "I don’t like to refuse. Since you asked me out, even if I end up not investing, the thought of having turned someone down makes me uncomfortable, so this meal would be meaningless."
Upon hearing this, Wen Lan’s expression slightly altered, unexpectedly regretting involving Wei Jia in this matter.
Wei Jia’s delicate eyebrows inadvertently knitted together, realizing that Li Jing also has his own personality and work principles; previously, she was too confident about their relationship and her own face value.
Thinking of this, Wei Jia picked up a bottle of Wuliangye on the table, which she hadn’t intended to drink, poured herself a small glass, and forced out a standard smile to Li Jing, "President Li, this was my oversight; I’ll penalize myself with a drink."
Seeing this, Li Jing didn’t stop her, just silently watched.
