<h4>Chapter 59: Chapter 54: Rong Cheng Got Set Up</h4>


    Bao Ye nced at her indifferently and then withdrew his gaze, focusing on Rong Cheng with a forced smile on his face, his mind filled with the image of her tearful eyes.


    It was obvious she had been wronged here.


    The man’s thin lips tightened slightly, his dark eyes cold as ice.


    "Mayor Zou, please take a seat," Rong Cheng arranged, personally assisting Mayor Zou to sit in the main seat.


    Mayor Zou: "This isn’t appropriate, Xiao Rong. I remember this is your seat."


    "I think I should change my seat."


    Rong Cheng immediately panicked: "That won’t do, Mayor Zou. It’s not right for you to sit in the guest’s seat."


    "You stay here, and I’ll sit elsewhere."


    Then he directly sat next to Bao Ye.


    What a coincidence.


    Seeing everyone settled, the director wiped his sweat and also found his ce.


    After some diligent courtesy, Rong Cheng poured himself a full ss of white liquor, then stood up, holding the ss with both hands towards Mayor Zou.


    "Mayor, I toast to you."


    Mayor Zouughed heartily: "Alright."


    Picking up his ss but without the intention to drink.


    Rong Cheng, on the other hand, enthusiastically gulped it down.


    "Mayor, I’ve finished it all."


    Mayor Zou apologized: "Xiao Rong, suddenly I remembered I took antibiotics this morning, I can’t drink today, I’m really sorry."


    Rong Cheng quickly responded: "No problem, no problem. Drinking after taking antibiotics is life-threatening; Mayor Zou, please don’t drink."


    "Then this drink..." Mayor Zou said meaningfully.


    Rong Cheng didn’t hesitate: "I’ll drink for you."


    Saying that, he poured himself another full ss and gulped it down.


    Mayor Zouughed heartily, praised: "Good drinking capability."


    "Thank you very much."


    "Mayor, you don’t have to be so polite," Rong Cheng said. "I..."


    Before he could finish, Mayor Zou switched topics: "Oh, look at my memory. Coming to crash Director Zhang’s set, how could I not first toast Director Zhang."


    Director Zhang had heard him mention antibiotics earlier and was so scared his shoulders trembled.


    "No, no, no, Mayor... Mayor Zou, it’s an honor for you to be here," Director Zhang stammered, sweating profusely, hardly able to speak.


    Mayor Zou smiled: "That’s not right; even as a guest, one must act like a guest."


    Then he looked at Rong Cheng: "Xiao Rong, since you handle your drinks well, why don’t you drink a few cups with Director Zhang for me?"


    "What do you think?"


    Before they arrived, it was Director Zhang apanying Rong Cheng.


    The whole room had to follow Rong Cheng’s mood.


    Once they arrived, the atmosphere suddenly changed.


    The actresses present exchanged looks, knowing they were important figures, not daring to speak recklessly.


    Obviously, it’s the mayor!


    If they said something wrong, do they still want to be in this industry?


    But really, the mayor seemed much kinder than Rong Cheng.


    With the mayor speaking, Rong Cheng didn’t dare to oppose.


    He immediately agreed with a smile.


    "Alright, Director Zhang, three drinks on me!"


    He spoke cheerfully.


    But his heart felt strange.


    It’s natural not to feel good; usually, it’s Director Zhang apanying him for drinks, not the other way around.


    Need to consider his own status, Director Zhang’s status.


    But with Mayor Zou personally speaking, despite being unhappy, Rong Cheng could only endure.


    Director Zhang, however, felt good; a finance bureau director drinking with him, such feeling... just like a dream.


    And he knew it was thanks to Bao Ye.


    He had no ability to be friends with the mayor.


    Only in dreams.


    Both drank heartily.


    After finishing, Mayor Zou smiled: "The people in this room all look familiar to me somehow."


    "Director Zhang, aren’t these all entertainers from the industry?"


    Director Zhang nodded and said, "They’re artists."


    Introduced them: "There’s Bai Yi and Jiang Ruan, one is a veteran film emperor in entertainment, and the other is the lead actress in our new drama, young with exceptional acting skills."


    He didn’t expect his guess was right.


    Mayor Zou was surprised; so this youngdy is an actress?


    Well, with Bao Ye’s personality, can he let his woman act with other men?


    Really unexpected.


    Everyone also greeted Mayor Zou.


    Mayor Zou smiled: "Hello, I apologize for not being able to drink today. Otherwise, I’d toast each of you individually."


    Everyone quickly said it’s okay and advised him to consider his health.


    Then Mayor Zou said: "Xiao Rong, everyone’s so enthusiastic, it’s a shame not to toast as well, shall you drink with everyone for me?"


    Upon hearing this, if Rong Cheng didn’t sense anything wrong, he’d be truly foolish.


    He gritted his teeth; Mayor Zou was clearly targeting him.


    But he’s his superior, plus if he wants a promotion in the future, Mayor Zou’s approval is necessary,


    After weighing the pros and cons, Rong Cheng could only smile and say: "Alright, Mayor, I’ll drink for you."
