Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 449 Celebration Banquet

So, in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, all the crew of "The Wandering Earth" headed to the celebration banquet venue. There was constant laughter and lots of topics on the way. Everyone wants to share interesting stories and experiences that happened during this time.

After arriving at the restaurant, Lin Ke arranged the seats to ensure that everyone could sit comfortably. "Waiter, please bring us the menu. There are no restrictions tonight, please order as much as you like."

Qu Chuxiao joked: "Then I have to be polite~" which made the people around him laugh.

Zhao Jinmai also joined in the banter: "Let's see if my 'black hole' appetite can clear this place tonight."

Director Long focused more on his emotions and future plans: "Through "The Wandering Earth", I saw the infinite possibilities of Chinese science fiction movies. There is still a long way to go in the future..."

During the chat, the dishes were served one after another, and everyone began to enjoy the food, but the discussion and sharing did not stop. The whole restaurant was filled with laughter, which was the sweet fruit of their joint efforts.
Lin Ke stood up and walked towards the toilet. The lively atmosphere at the banquet made him feel a little dizzy and wanted to find a place to sober up.

As soon as I turned into the corridor, I heard the girls' protests and the men's vulgar laughter coming from the front. Lin Ke frowned and quickened his pace.

"Hey beauty, don't be like this, how about I buy you a drink?" A man smelling of alcohol and wearing a fancy shirt was stalking a girl who looked very embarrassed.

"No, please respect yourself!" The girl tried to push the man away, but the man didn't seem to want to let go.

Lin Ke rushed up immediately, "Brother, are you drunk?"

The drunk man looked back and said, "Who are you? Do you care?"

"I said let go." Lin Ke's tone was firm and calm. Although he is unwilling to cause trouble for no reason, he must not turn a blind eye when he sees innocent people being bullied.

"Haha! You're looking for a beating, aren't you?" The drunkard waved his fist and was about to hit Lin Ke.

Lin Ke, who moved as fast as lightning, easily dodged the attack sideways and hit the opponent in the stomach with a backhand punch.

Several guests passing by stopped to watch. "What a skill, hero!" someone joked.

"Are you okay?" Lin Ke turned to ask the girl who was being harassed.

The girl nodded, "Thank you."

"If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, you can shout for help or call the police directly." Lin Ke smiled slightly and said, "Safety first."

Lin Ke looked at the drunkard on the ground, holding his stomach in pain, and said lightly: "Now, what else do you have to say?"

Seeing that he was no match, the drunkard's expression changed, "Brother, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

"As long as you know." Lin Ke responded coldly, "Since you know you were wrong, then apologize to this beautiful woman."

There were already many spectators around, and some took out their mobile phones to record this wonderful scene. The drunkard's face turned red and he stood up in front of everyone.

He stammered an apology to the girl: "Yes, I'm sorry, it was my fault just now..."

Although the girl was scared, she nodded to show that she accepted his apology.

Lin Ke turned to look at the crowd of spectators, "Okay, okay, let's get over. Today's show was exciting enough."

Then he turned to the girl and said, "Are you okay? Do you need me to take you back?"

The girl shook her head, "Thank you. My friend is waiting for me, so it should be fine."

"That's okay." Lin Ke smiled and nodded, "Safety comes first."

After the girl left, Lin Ke looked again at the drunkard who was still standing there, daring not to move. "Remember today's lesson. Don't do such stupid things again."

"Yes, yes! There will never be a next time!" The drunkard nodded quickly. Just as Lin Ke was about to turn around and leave, the drunkard suddenly struggled to stand up, with a sly smile on his lips, "Oh, he turns out to be a big star! No wonder he can pretend so well."

The surrounding crowd suddenly gathered again, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Lin Ke frowned and said calmly: "It seems you haven't learned your lesson yet."

"Ha! Who do you think you are? Just because you showed up on TV, you started to drift off?" The drunkard sneered disdainfully.

The security guard next to him immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, please come with us."

"Let go! I haven't finished speaking yet!" The drunkard struggled to get out of the security guard's control.

Lin Ke motioned to the security guards to take him away, "There's no need to waste words with him. Please send him out."

As the security took the drunkard away from the scene, the surroundings gradually returned to calm. At this time, the girl who had been entangled before walked up to Lin Ke again.

"Thank you very much for your help just now." She said a little awkwardly but gratefully.

Lin Ke responded with a smile, "It's okay, this is what I should do."

The girl bit her lip nervously, "Actually... I recognize you. You are Lin Ke, right?"

"Haha, I was recognized." Lin Ke smiled easily.

"If possible...can I take a photo with you?" the girl asked cautiously.

"Of course." Lin Ke readily agreed, and stood in position with her to take pictures of the beautiful moment.

After the photo was taken, the girl thanked her profusely, "Thank you so much! Whether it was your help or taking photos, it made me very happy today."

"When you encounter difficulties and need help, just ask." Lin Ke nodded friendly, "Please go home safely."

After watching the girl leave, Lin Ke took a deep breath to adjust his emotions.

Lin Ke returned to the private room at the celebration banquet and saw that the light was still warm, but the building was empty. There were several unfinished wine bottles and scattered side dishes scattered on the table, which looked a bit messy. In the corner, Zhao Jinmai was sitting there alone, looking a little helpless.

"What's wrong? Who are you waiting for?" Lin Ke walked over with a relaxed tone.

Zhao Jinmai looked up and saw Lin Ke, with an awkward smile on his face, "Oh, Star Lin! You are finally back. My car broke down."

"Broken down? It's not easy to find a car repairman at this time." Lin Ke frowned and thought, "How about this, I'll have someone take you back."

"Is that really okay? Thank you so much!" Zhao Jinmai's eyes lit up.

"Of course." Lin Ke took out his cell phone, "I'll call the driver over now."

The driver arrived shortly after the two chatted. Lin Ke said to Zhao Jinmai: "Okay, the driver is waiting outside. Pay attention to safety."

"Thank you so much! I'm so lucky to meet you tonight." Zhao Jinmai stood up and said goodbye to Lin Ke.

"Haha, it's okay. We are traveling together! Please take care of me in the future." Lin Ke said goodbye with a smile.

Watching Zhao Jinmai's leaving figure disappear around the corner of the door, Lin Ke felt warm in his heart. "I hope "The Wandering Earth" will be a big hit!" He smiled to himself and shook his head, then gathered his emotions and prepared to leave.

Early the next morning, Lin Ke's cell phone kept vibrating. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, picked up his phone and looked at it, and instantly woke up.
