Chapter 40 Small gathering
Li Ruan looked at the waitress who was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old and asked with a smile: "Is there a private room inside? There are about five, six, seven or eight of us."

The little girl chuckled and said, "Yes, there is a big bag. I will take you there."

In the summer, most people who eat barbecue like to eat outside, unless stars like Liruan go to a private room for fear of being recognized, so the seats outside her house are almost full, but most of the private rooms inside are empty.

The girl brought Li Ruan into a large private room and turned on the air conditioner. Li Ruan immediately sent Shen Qianqian the location and the name of the store.

"Miss, do you want to order something to eat first, so you don't have to wait when your people arrive."

Li Ruan didn't even look at the menu: "Just grill some of what you have here and bring it up. Give me a hundred skewers of lamb, half of them slightly spicy and half of them not spicy."

After saying that, she looked at Qiangzi again and said, "If you have anything you like to eat, order it yourself."

Qiangzi was not polite. After following Liruan for the past few days, he got to know her a little. She has a very good personality, like a little sun. She makes friends wherever she goes, and she is not fake at all.

"I'd like five more skewers of chicken heads and five more skewers of squid, and another serving of lamb chops. I won't need the rest for now."

He has been to this restaurant before. The lamb chops they grilled are the best, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with no lamb smell. They are especially delicious.

After a while, Shen Qianqian came with her assistant and Bai Tang. Both of them were wrapped up very tightly. There was no way. Shen Qianqian was better off. Bai Tang was at least a second-tier star. Even if he was not a traffic star, he had more than 20 million fans. It would be troublesome if he was recognized.

"Sister Tang, why didn't your guy come?"

Bai Tang took off his mask and sat down next to Shen Qianqian. "I didn't call him. He needs to control his weight, otherwise he might not be able to keep his abdominal muscles."

Shen Qianqian felt a little sympathetic towards Qiao Zhuo. For the sake of his girlfriend's preferences, Brother Qiao had given up so many delicious foods.

Seeing that the grilled skewers had been served, he ordered a few bottles of beer, "Barbecue and beer, one drink and you can sleep all night! Come on, come on, let's do one together."

Bai Tangqian took a sip of wine, picked up the skewers and ate while chatting: "How are you doing on the crew over there? Is the filming going smoothly?"

Liruan put on disposable gloves and gave each of them a roasted lamb chop. "I've been shooting all day and all night. Today is the first time I've finished work before nine o'clock. I'll quickly call you all out to get together."

Bai Tang eats very slowly. She is not prone to obesity, so it is okay to have a midnight snack occasionally, but she dare not eat too much. Therefore, she will try to slow down every time she eats. "Wang Xingrui is not harassing you again, right?"

She smiled softly, "I didn't even give him my contact information. If he dares to knock on my door, I will beat him up."

“Don’t make a fuss. You, a little girl, must not think of solving problems with force. You may get slapped in the face.

You may not know Wang Xingrui's family background, but his family owns a company. That's because he is not a big name, so he plays small roles. Otherwise, he always has bodyguards with him. Even if you have learned a few moves of boxing and kicking, you can't beat those grown men. "

Li Ruanxin said that there was probably no one in this world that she couldn't beat, but Sister Tang cared about her and she couldn't refuse her kindness, "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Tang. If he really comes to knock on my door, I won't open it for him."

"Okay, that's right. If he goes, you notify the hotel security. If that doesn't work, you can call the police." In fact, if something like this really happened, the best thing to do would be to notify her agent to handle it. However, Liruan's agent only came for one day and then went back. He was not with her at all.

Li Ruan nodded obediently. The waiter brought in another plate of grilled skewers. Li Ruan picked up a pig's trotter and put it into Bai Tang's bowl. "Sister Tang, eat it. It replenishes collagen."

Shen Qianqian was jealous, "You've already given Sister Tang food twice, why don't you let me have some too?"

Bai Tang rolled her eyes secretly. She was very elegant, so she had to roll her eyes secretly. Li Ruan quickly picked one for her, even though there were several on the plate. "Here, here, here, you have one too."

Qiangzi also took one and placed it in front of Zhang Miao, "You eat it too, it seems that women are better eating this."

Zhang Miao's expression didn't change at all, he remained stern, "Thank you."

"By the way, Qianqian, your part is almost finished, right?"

Shen Qianqian was a little unhappy when talking about this, "Yeah, to be honest, Director Qu's crew is the most comfortable crew I've ever been on. I really don't want to leave."

Liruan teased her deliberately: "That's easy. After the filming is finished, you can be an extra in the crew of Spark. You will stay here, right?"

"You are trying to piss me off on purpose, right? Sister, I am at least a celebrity with millions of fans. If I were to become an extra, Sister Zhang would kill me immediately!"

Li Ruan smiled and said, "You are still unwilling to do it even after the shooting is finished. You really have no ideals!"

She picked up her beer and raised it towards them. "Come on, have a drink. If I were you, I would have retired long ago. Isn't it nice to be a second-generation rich kid? All I have to do is eat, eat, shop, shop, shop every day!"

Bai Tang followed suit after clinking glasses, and said, "If I had such a good family background, I wouldn't have entered this circle."

She and Qiao Zhuo were both from rural areas, and they were even from the same village. When Qiao Zhuo was in college, she was spotted by a scout and believed the scout when he told her that she could make a lot of money by being an actor.

The result was not bad. He did make a lot of money as the TV King.

As for her, her mother said that men are the most untrustworthy, and women still have to rely on themselves. They should work hard to earn more money when they are young so that they will have someone to rely on when they are old. So she followed Qiao Zhuo and entered this circle.

Liruan started to make a noise again, "Come on, come on, let's have another drink, and work hard together to make a lot of money, retire early, and live a salted fish life!"

Seeing that she had already drunk four bottles of beer, Qiangzi joked, "Sister Ruan has a good alcohol tolerance."

Liruan's big eyes blinked twice, "...I, your sister, can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

These people had never drunk together before, so no one knew how much she could drink, but it was obvious that it was impossible for her to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!
While drinking and eating, Liruan counted herself. She ate a lamb chop, a pig's trotter, a skewer of large squid, two skewers of chicken gizzards, a skewer of tendon, a skewer of leeks, eight skewers of lamb, and eight bottles of beer. She couldn't eat any more, otherwise people would suspect that she had two stomachs.

Bai Tang finished the last bite of the dish and said, "I can't eat any more. You guys can take care of the rest."

Shen Qianqian also touched her belly and said, "I can't do it."

Several girls turned their attention to the only man at the table: Qiangzi.

Qiangzi: "I can't eat it anymore, but you can bring it back for your brother."

Li Ruan waved her hand and said, "Then I'll go pay the bill, and we'll go back together later."

It's half past eleven, just in time to go back and have a good sleep.
