Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Director Zhang, I heard you’ve encountered some troubles lately

Jingcheng Bi Garden Restaurant.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng’s glass was nearly empty, Du Qinglian immediately took the bottle from the waiter’s hand and added a little more to Director Zhang’s glass.

“Director Zhang, this Zuichun Mountain is a specialty of Bi Garden, brewed with Moutai, and is very fragrant. You should drink more of it tonight.”

Zhang Cheng, however, raised his hand to stop Du Qinglian from pouring more.

“That will do, I have plans later, and it wouldn’t be good to meet people if I’ve had too much to drink.”

Du Qinglian responded smoothly, smiled, and then handed the wine cup back to the waiter.

...

“Then we definitely shouldn’t drink too much. However, we still need to trouble you with He Yun’s matter.”

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng furrowed his brows.

“Isn’t he still in the Southwest shooting that variety show? That won’t work for me at all; I have an audition tomorrow, and everything’s already arranged. Surely we can’t delay everyone’s time just for you guys, right?”

“Of course not,” said Du Qinglian. “I was against He Yun doing that variety show from the start. As for Shen Lan, she really would do anything to fulfill a bet, but now it’s all good since she has agreed to sign the termination contract. He Yun will definitely be at the set on time tomorrow.”

Zhang Cheng gave a noncommittal “Mhm,” which was as much of a response as he was willing to give to the matter.

This was already enough to make Du Qinglian very pleased.

Zhang Cheng was known in the industry as a tough nut to crack, and now that he had agreed to this dining event and shown his stance, it meant she had an eighty percent grip on the opportunity.

The remaining twenty percent depended on He Yun’s performance tomorrow.

Thinking of this, He Qinglian, overjoyed, immediately called a waiter over to add a few more dishes.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng’s phone, which was on the table, rang. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

He Qinglian tactfully excused herself, “Director Zhang, you should take the call; it might be a client.”

When Zhang Cheng picked up his phone and looked at the screen, he saw a string of unfamiliar numbers.

Checking the IP location, it was still from the Capital.

Without suspecting anything amiss, Zhang Cheng swiped to answer.

“Hello?”

“Mr. Zhang, this is Jiang Li. I hear you’ve recently come across some rather troubling issues; maybe I can help alleviate your worries.”

Zhang Cheng’s brows knitted tightly together, and his face darkened.

Which D-list actor had gotten hold of his number and was trying to pitch themselves?

Offer to alleviate worries?

He detested people who spent all their time looking for shortcuts instead of working to improve themselves!

Just as he was about to hang up, the caller’s somewhat cold voice rang out again.

“Mr. Zhang, you’re misunderstanding. I’m not that kind of person. Is a member of your family, by any chance, currently in grave danger at the hospital? And is this person also a pregnant woman?”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng was first startled, then furiously burst out.

He put the phone back to his ear, stood up from his seat, and went straight out to the terrace.

“Who are you? What do you want?!”

Someone who knew his family’s situation this well – could this person be threatening to extort him?

Yet the voice on the other end of the phone sounded like just a young girl.
