Chapter 147 - Lunch Meeting ( 3 )
Xie Ming looked at the menu and asked Mrs. Wu, " Mrs. Wu, you should order first." said with a smile.
Mrs. Wu looked at her and spoke, " Xie Ming, don't stand at the ceremony. Just order for everyone. Don't do formalities." she said being friendly.
While the ladies were behaving like friends, the men in the room were just talking about the business things.
Then Xie Ming helplessly smiled at Mrs. Wu then looked at the waiter standing there and started ordering.
" Ahm, we want this, this and this." she just pointed at the few dishes on the menu.
Then she turned to look at Mrs. Wu and asked,? " Do you want to add something else?" hesitantly.
Mrs Wu said," No. No. You ordered enough. And the dishes you ordered are of our liking."
After taking the order, the waiter went back.
Xie Ming turned to look at Mrs. Wu and smiled.
Then Mrs. Wu and Xie Ming started chatting like some old friends.
Mrs. Wu started telling some gossips and Xie Ming was listening to them intently.
The serious business environment was turned lively due to the presence of ladies.
Liwei and Mr. Wu was busy talking about business on the side while ladies were gossiping on the other side of the table.
Liwei and Mr Wu was collaborating to work together with Global Entertainment.
Liwei only attends a few important meetings of Global entertainment, otherwise, everything was managed by higher executives of the company.
Mr Wu's company was also an entertainment industry just like Global entertainment.
These two companies have produced top artists in the country and they are the top companies in the entertainment industry.
So they are having their best artists to do a collaborative assignment to join hands with each other and also to monopolize the entertainment market.
....
While they were chatting with each other, the waiter arrived with the dishes in his hand.
As soon as the dishes served, they started to eat the dishes.
Xie Ming served the dishes for Liwei herself.
When she served the dishes for him, he was smiling at her foolishly.
His smile didn't go unnoticed from the couple opposite of them.
By now, even Mr. Wu started to feel close to them. The aloofness that he has in the beginning, started to disappear.
Because he could see his younger self in Liwei.
While eating, Mrs. Wu looked at Xie Ming and asked, " So Ming, what are you doing these days? I mean are you working or at home?"
Hearing Mrs. Wu's question, Xie Ming looked up at her.
She blinked her eyes and replied honestly, " Ahm, actually before I was at home but today I auditioned for a movie and got selected. So I think I will be working soon. " she said awkwardly.
Suddenly Liwei's chopsticks froze in the mid-air to the way his mouth.
When Xie aiming said this, he has picked a colored dumpling to eat it but before chopsticks could make its way to his mouth, Xie Ming dropped the bomb.
Till now, he has ko idea about it, but she spoke about getting the role in the movie so casually that he was stunned for a moment.
His reactions didn't go away from Mrs. Wu's notice.
She smiled and said, " Really, Congratulations."
Xie Ming looked at her and said, " Thank you."
" So you want to enter into the entertainment industry?"
Liwei also waited Xie Ming to answer this question.
Though he doesn't like this profession much however if she wanted to do it, then he will support her.
Xie Ming thought for a while and said," Ahm, actually I am not sure. I was searching for the profession that I want to pursue in this world."
" Not because my father wanted me to do but what I wanted to do. And I like taking things with a flow. I just need time to make myself aware of the things that I am not used to. "
" I want to explore this world. This place has so many things to try, so I will take my time to decide my career. " Xie Ming said with a smile.
Mrs. Wu looked at her with an awkward smile.
She couldn't understand why Xie Ming was talking that she was not from here but from somewhere else.
She looked at Xie Ming and asked," Are you not from S Country? Are you from some other place."
Mr Wu also raised his eyebrows at this question.
Hearing this question, Xie Ming's back stiffened.
While talking about the future, she forgot that she was Xie Ming, not Zhao Ming.
Before she could say anything, Liwei spoke" She lived abroad for 7 years. And she just arrived in S Country only last year. So she needs time to adjust here. " he said with a straight face.
Mrs. Wu looked at Xie Ming and understood the meaning of her words and nodded.
" Yes. If you need time, then take your time. And you're young, so you should choose your career wisely."
" And please do not stay at home like me. Otherwise, your life will only remain around your husband and your family. You will forget your own identity. " Mrs. Wu said with a subtle smile on her face.
Xie Ming nodded at her words.
But Mr. Wu glared at Mrs. Wu and said," Do you feel you lost your identity? " his voice was cold and the aura suddenly became frighteningly dangerous.
Mrs. Wu felt shivers in her spine and realized that she has spoken too much.
So she hurriedly explained, " It's not about me. Really, not me. I have such a loving husband, so I don't need anything else. My identity is Mrs. Wu, wife of Mr. Wu."
She said cutely.
This made Mr. Wu blush but the other two people were looking at them with their mouth open.
' She was just telling me not to forget my identity, but now she was behaving like this? Did she forget her own words?' Xie Ming thought.
And Liwie was thinking of how cute Mr Wu and Mrs. Wu is. He was imagining Xie Ming and his future in them and smiling like a stupid.
...
When they finished their lunch, they ordered tea for everyone.
At that time, Mrs. Wu said to Xie Ming, " I don't know why but I feel like I have seen you somewhere." she said while furrowing her brows to remember where she has seen Xie Ming.
Xie Ming looked at her in confusion, and said, " Me? I don't remember if we had met earlier?" said awkwardly.
