Just when Director Chen was shocked and suspicious, Zeng Mengquan spoke, but it was this sentence that made him sweat all over. The two battles were fighting, and the eyes that looked at Lin Zhimo turned into shock, even fear!

Zeng Mengquan asked with a smile: "Zhimo, will you go home for dinner tonight?"

Not only was Director Chen scared by this sentence, but even Yuan Delong was stunned. He never expected that Lin Zhimo would know Zeng Mengquan, but also had such an intimate relationship that he could have dinner together at home!

Now everyone's eyes at Lin Zhimo had subtle changes. Before, they just thought Lin Zhimo was just a star. Not to mention Director Chen, even the few people who are following Zeng Mengquan now can make Lin Zhimo fall into trouble with one word, and even can't survive in the entertainment industry. Even if Yuan Delong really turns against Lin Zhimo, he can make Lin Zhimo's career development unsuccessful.

But now with Zeng Mengquan's question, everyone's eyes looked at Lin Zhimo with a hint of enthusiasm. In their eyes, Lin Zhimo is no longer just a star, but also the best way to get along with Zeng Mengquan!

You should know that the people present are all bigwigs in charge of China's propaganda and radio and television channels. I dare not say anything else, but in the area of ​​TV and movies, there are definitely people who will stomp their feet and cause earthquakes in the circle. If you want to give Lin Zhimo some benefits, it is no easier than drinking water.

Lin Zhimo naturally noticed the changes in other people's expressions, especially Director Chen's gaze, which changed from the original indifference to the current fear and even pleasing.

Involuntarily, these eyes actually made Lin Zhimo feel relieved.

However, despite this, Lin Zhimo still realized clearly that all this was caused by Zeng Mengquan's words, so he smiled and said, "Since my uncle has spoken, how could I dare not go?"

Zeng Mengquan nodded and turned away. He took two steps and turned back and said, "It's not me who spoke, but your uncle is not convinced."

Lin Zhimo's face suddenly collapsed: "No, my uncle is here too tonight? Otherwise, I'd better not go."

"Pret! Just pretend, you fucking pretend. You dare not go to Minister Zeng's family banquet?!"

This was the only thought in everyone present, and the eyes of Lin Zhimo were more contemptuous. Especially Director Chen. Now the eyes of Lin Zhimo were looking at Lin Zhimo and wanted to possess Lin Zhimo immediately, then nodded and bowed to agree to Zeng Mengquan's invitation.

Zeng Mengquan ignored Lin Zhimo's funny story and said directly: "You must go, that's it."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Looking at Zeng Mengquan's leaving figure, Director Chen squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying at Lin Zhimo: "Mr. Lin, be sure to wait a moment. I'll have another drink with you when I come back!"

After saying that, he nodded to Yuan Delong again, and then hurriedly chased Zeng Mengquan down.

Back at the box, Yuan Delong looked at Lin Zhimo blankly and said, "Zhimo. How many secrets do you have?"

Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "Uncle Yuan, what other secrets can I have?"

Yuan Delong came to his senses and stared at him and asked, "There is no secret yet? Then tell me honestly what your relationship is with Minister Zeng, how could he know you? He also invited you to have dinner at home. Why did you call Minister Zeng Uncle?"

"Stop, stop, Uncle Yuan, you have too many problems." Lin Zhimo quickly made a brake gesture at Yuan Delong.

Yuan Delong said: "Then you will answer one by one!"

Lin Zhimo said, "If I say this is the second time that Minister Zeng and I have met, do you believe it?" After saying this, Lin Zhimo saw Yuan Delong's eyes as if he was looking at a fool, and quickly said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it. Anyway, you just need to remember that Minister Zeng and I are relatives."

Since Lin Zhimo did not know Zeng Mengquan's specific identity now, but he also knew that many senior officials' families were **, he did not rashly reveal his specific relationship with Zeng Mengquan, and Lin Zhimo did not want to make this happen well.

Lin Zhimo originally thought that Yuan Delong would be dissatisfied with his explanation, so he even thought of an excuse to deal with it, but he didn't expect that after hearing Lin Zhimo's words, Yuan Delong nodded: "Is it a relative? That's good, that's good. I'm afraid you're just a relationship."

Lin Zhimo couldn't help asking: "Uncle Yuan, you don't blame me for not telling you..."

Before Lin Zhimo finished speaking, Yuan Delong waved his hand and interrupted Lin Zhimo and said, "You don't need to explain. Some things only know that the result is better."

Yuan Delong has been immersed in the officialdom for decades, so he naturally deeply understood what it means to "not ask what should not be asked". Lin Zhimo had never mentioned Zeng Mengquan's relationship before. Based on Yuan Delong's understanding of Lin Zhimo, he would not think that Lin Zhimo would be so stupid that he would not use it if he had a relationship. Instead, he asked a small deputy director here in a bit of humble manner.

The reason why Lin Zhimo did not use this relationship before can only explain one reason, that is, this relationship has just happened recently. Perhaps as Lin Zhimo said, he and Zeng Mengquan only met once.

Lin Zhimo said that he was a relative of Zeng Mengquan, which forced Yuan Delong to think more. After all, there are too many cases of some big families having illegitimate children in the officialdom. It is best not to know these for outsiders if they don’t know them. Only one fact is the best result.

It is precisely because of Yuan Delong's thoughts that he did not ask Lin Zhimo's specific truth.

Lin Zhimo naturally wouldn't know that Yuan Delong would have thought so much in such a short time, and even thought of himself as the illegitimate son of a big man. If he knew, Lin Zhimo would definitely be amused and crying, but now Yuan Delong did not ask questions, it was exactly what Lin Zhimo wanted.

"Uncle Yuan, then what should I do if Director Chen comes up later?" Lin Zhimo had no experience in dealing with these officials, so he could only turn to Yuan Delong for help.

Yuan Delong sneered: "Zhimo, if you have nothing to do, leave, I will deal with the rest."

"Leave? Is this... suitable?" Lin Zhimo hesitated a little. He was afraid that if he left, he would leave a bad impression on Director Chen. After all, he was not very clear about Zeng Mengquan's identity, so even though he saw Director Chen's favor towards Zeng Mengquan, he still did not dare to look down on him at all.

"Don't worry, as long as your relationship with Minister Zeng is solid, then even if he invites you to drink next time, he will not dare to say anything!" Yuan Delong has a thorough study of Director Chen's current psychology. His ignorance of Lin Zhimo just now has become his death talisman. Yuan Delong believes that Director Chen will definitely please Lin Zhimo after coming up later, for fear that Lin Zhimo will say something bad to Zeng Mengquan.

"It is naturally true between me and my uncle, but Director Chen after all..." Lin Zhimo wanted to say that Director Chen is the deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, which is directly in charge of the film and television department. But then he thought of the indifference of Director Chen to him at the dinner table just now. He couldn't help but feel angry, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Uncle Yuan, then I'll leave first!"

"Go. Be careful not to touch him." Yuan Delong instructed.

"rest assured."

How could a big hotel of this level have only one way to leave? So Lin Zhimo chose another way to get up and leave.

Shortly after Lin Zhimo left, Director Chen walked in with some breath. After entering the box, he found that there was no Lin Zhimo and he was stunned: "Old Yuan, where is Lin Zhimo?"

"Oh, Director Chen, you just left. He received a call from his family and had to leave early." Yuan Delong looked at Director Chen's face and asked deliberately: "Why do I call him and ask him to come back?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no." Director Chen hurriedly shook his hand and refused. Thinking that Lin Zhimo called Zeng Mengquan as his uncle just now, he heard Lin Zhimo's family call him back again, so how could he dare to call Lin Zhimo back.

Seeing the somewhat panicked expression on Director Chen's face, Yuan Delong sneered in his heart, stood up and said, "Director Chen, since that's the case, then I'll go back first."

"Hey, Old Yuan, Brother Yuan, you are not interested enough. Since Mr. Lin has left, can't you have a drink with me?" Director Chen immediately stopped Yuan Delong and said in anger as if he was displeased.

Yuan Delong naturally knew that Director Chen would not let him go, and he also had something to say to Director Chen. He did this just a little revenge on the anger he had just been exposed. Now that he heard that Director Chen had called him brother, Yuan Delong felt much more open, so he sat down and joked: "Director Chen, don't you have to go back to work?"

Director Chen's face turned red and remembered what he said just now, but after all, he was a person who had been in the officialdom for a long time. He immediately returned to normal and said, "Brother Yuan, don't tease me, brother, can I be obsessed with me just now? Come on, I'll give you a cup and accompany you for a sin!"

Yuan Delong said with a smile: "Director Chen said this and said nothing. I, Old Yuan, have no ability, but I am worthy of Director Chen's apology."

"Yes, yes, yes, I should apologize to President Lin. I was not considerate just now. In this way, Brother Yuan, when will I have time to arrange for President Lin to meet me?" Director Chen's attitude was very low.

Seeing Director Chen say this, Yuan Delong's purpose was achieved, and he smiled and said, "Okay, I believe Zhimo will still give me this face."

After three rounds of drinking, Director Chen couldn't help asking: "Brother Yuan, let me know what the relationship between Mr. Lin and Minister Zeng?"

Yuan Delong hugged Director Chen's shoulder and whispered: "Director Chen, let me tell you this, Zhimo, is a relative of Minister Zeng, and they only learned about this recently, and they are unwilling to let others know about it."

Director Chen was shocked. He thought of the illegitimate child like Yuan Delong. The original heart that was originally asking the bottom of the question was gone. He raised his glass and said to Yuan Delong: "Brother Yuan, brother, I'll give you a glass. Thank you for your tips today."

Yuan Delong smiled and drank the wine in the glass in one fell swoop.

Although he has Zeng Mengquan's relationship here, Director Chen dared not make any moves on Lin Zhimo, but as the saying goes, county officials are not as good as being in charge. Lin Zhimo still wants to survive in the entertainment industry after all, so he cannot do without the constraints of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

Although Zeng Mengquan is currently the executive vice minister of the Central Propaganda Department, he is not a minister after all. He is equivalent to another deputy minister who is also the director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Even when he is dissatisfied with Director Chen, he must consider the psychology of the Director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

So Yuan Delong just asked Lin Zhimo to leave, but he stayed and continued to wait for Director Chen, otherwise the two of them would have left together long ago. The reason why Yuan Delong stayed was to tell Director Chen about the relationship between Lin Zhimo and Zeng Mengquan, so that he could maintain a sense of mystery about Lin Zhimo and dare not stop Lin Zhimo's subsequent works.

Yuan Delong's words did work. After Director Chen went back, he specifically inquired about Zeng Mengquan's recent situation, and then found out that Zeng Mengquan's father, Zeng Yufu, the older generation of national leaders, had just recognized a relative recently, and even specially set up a family dinner for this.

The specific situation is naturally not known at the level of Director Chen, but it does not hinder Director Chen's own fantasy. When he thinks of Yuan Delong's words, Director Chen finally confirmed that Lin Zhimo was the illegitimate son of the Zeng family, so he also had a standard for his attitude towards Lin Zhimo - stay away from him.
