Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

In all honesty, He Xi really didn't do it on purpose.

It all stemmed from a martial arts practitioner's subconscious reaction.

However, it was too late to explain, so he could only quickly reach out to help Jiang Shan up.

Perhaps it was because he had been sparring with Gigi Lai too much lately, and attacking vital points had become a habit, so he would directly target his opponent's key areas when he made a move.

The moment he made contact, He Xi realized that this was his girlfriend's best friend, whom he had just met, not his girlfriend, and quickly changed his tactics and withdrew.

Even though he reacted quickly enough, the other party still suffered a "slight" injury, their body swayed involuntarily, and their hands started grabbing wildly.

He Xi had just withdrawn her hand when she suddenly felt a chill rising from below.

His intuition told him that this was... a fatal blow!

However, he had only just changed his tactics once, and it was too late to exert his strength again.

Helplessly, I had no choice but to take a solid hit from the "chicken claw hand"!

Although Jiang Shan was just a girl, her actions in the chaos were instinctive, with a tricky angle and considerable force.

"hiss!"

He Xi couldn't help but gasp.

I should have known better than to stop.

Being treated like a thug is better than being beaten up.

This tangy taste is something you have to experience to know!

"Ah Xi, are you alright?"

Liu Hongmei quickly stepped forward to offer her concern and care, but Jiang Shan, who had straightened up again, blushed instantly.

Hu Jun and He Bing, along with several others, also stepped forward to express their concern.

What just happened happened too fast. Their view was blocked by He Xi's trench coat, and they only knew that he was hit by Jiang Shan, but they didn't know where he was hit.

Hu Jun looked at Jiang Shan with a resentful expression.

"Jiang Dajiao, what's wrong with you!"

"Ah Xi is not only a fellow Hong Kong resident, but he also wrote a wonderful script for our theater. He's a dear friend and family member to us!"

"And what's worse, you came right up and started punching and kicking!"

How could you do that?

Jiang Shan was completely numb.

"I didn't mean to kick him at first, and I didn't hit him either. It was just an accident..."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.

Hu Jun didn't think much of it and shook his head to check on He Xi.

Xu Fan, who was blocked outside by Liu Hongmei, looked at Jiang Shan's face with a flickering gaze.

Hu Jun thought she was blushing because she had embarrassed herself, but Xu Fan saw something different.

On the other side, He Xi also recovered and waved to everyone with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just bumped into something accidentally, it's not Shan-jie's fault."

"No way! Jiang Dajiao started it first, we have to teach her a lesson!"

After Hu Jun stirred things up, and it was lunchtime, a large group of people headed towards the restaurant outside the theater.

Then, there was another big drinking session.

With Mr. Hu around, there's always plenty of alcohol on the table, and the atmosphere is never bad.

He Xi came here this time with the added identity of a screenwriter, and being valued by the dean, she naturally received more friendly treatment and flattery.

There were also several young actors at the dinner table who were around the same age as Hu Jun and the others, and who had joined the Beijing People's Art Theatre around the same time.

At first, they were a little reserved, but after a few drinks, they quickly became familiar with each other.

"Mr. He, I've read your first draft of the script, and it's really well-written!"

"If Teacher Su hadn't said it herself, I would never have believed that such a good script could come from the hand of such a young person."

"Mr. He is amazing. Please take care of me in the future."

The speaker was a man who was about 1.8 meters tall, very thin, with a long face, and looked like a ruthless person.

This guy was admitted to the Beijing People's Art Theatre's acting class in 85, then went to West Germany for further studies, and officially became an actor at the Beijing People's Art Theatre in 91.

He joined the company in the same year as Hu Jun and the others.

So even though there's a five or six-year age gap, they have a pretty good relationship.

"Senior Feng, I dare not accept your kindness. You are a senior, and a high-achieving student who studied in West Germany. Your future is limitless."

"I have much to learn from you! Please take good care of me!"

This guy, Feng, is named Yuanzheng. He's the future fifth-generation director of the Beijing People's Art Theatre. Aside from his looks, he's top-notch in every other way.

His breakthrough work, "Don't Talk to Strangers," remains a childhood trauma that many people are reluctant to mention, even more than two decades later.

Speaking of which, Mei Ting, the lead actress in "Don't Talk to Strangers," is also 18 years old now, which is...

However, she is currently with the Southern Metropolis Daily's Q Frontline Song and Dance Troupe.

Being too far away and belonging to the military, He Xi had no opportunity to get to know the other party, even if she wanted to.

"What high-achieving student? I just got a diploma. You're a screenwriter recommended by the dean and a big star from Hong Kong, so I'd really appreciate your help!"

"No, no, no, I'm just a newbie who started out in this field. It was lucky that the dean took a liking to me. I'm not a big star at all. You're too kind to me..."

"You're too modest..."

As the two were talking, Hu Jun, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hey, Brother Feng, Lao He, this isn't fun at all!"

"We're all young people, there's no need for all that formality, and no need for those 'you' and 'you' forms of address."

"Listen to me on this. Call Lao He Brother Feng, and you can call him Brother Feng."

"We are all brothers from all corners of the world. Wouldn't it be better if we learned and progressed together?"

He Xi and Feng Yuanzheng looked at each other and smiled, then simultaneously raised their glasses.

"Brother Feng!"

"Brother!"

"Dry!"

Ding!

As their glasses clinked together, He Xi gained another friend—a future industry leader.

The meal was a great success, and not only Hu Jun, a seasoned drinker, but also Feng Yuanzheng, a newcomer, got drunk.

Having learned from her previous experience of being ambushed while sleeping, He Xi also got drunk...

No, that's not right. He probably didn't want to get drunk at all, but his old and new friends were all too enthusiastic.

That's right, that's it!

Upon seeing He Xi drunk, Xu Fan's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly walked over to Liu Hongmei's side.

"Hongmei, Axi is too heavy. You can't support her by yourself. Let me help you!"

Liu Hongmei glanced at her warily and shook her head firmly.

"No need, you've been working hard rehearsing lately, and you have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't trouble you."

To prevent Xu Fan from continuing to pester her, she turned to look around, intending to find a boy for help.

They discovered that Hu Jun and the others, including Feng Yuanzheng, were all drunk.

Finally, having no other choice, she looked at Jiang Shan.

"Shanshan, can you help me?"

Xu Fan reached out to stop him.

"Shanshan also drank alcohol, and she's not very strong, no..."

Liu Hongmei shook her head.

"It's okay, the two of us can manage."

"Besides, I haven't seen Shanshan in a long time, so we can go back and chat together."

Xu Fan was a little confused.

He wouldn't let himself go, but planned to drag Jiang Shan to stay overnight.

Isn't Liu Hongmei afraid that Jiang Shan will make the same mistake she did before tonight?

still is……

She was actually He Xi's middleman, and that was her original intention...
