Yan Su kept comforting her. âItâs alright. Itâs nothing but taking the metro. We always took the metro before. Iâm not famous now. When I become a star, Iâll give you a private car and a full-time driver wherever you go.â
âThank you.â Luosang held her arm. She was the only one who was able to comfort her right now.
âBut, will An Lan really steal Mr. Nian away?â Yan Su said with concern.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luosang was already worrying about that. Hearing what Yan Su said, she felt even more uneasy. But still, she said, âWeâve only been broken up for a few days. If he fell in love with someone else so easily, I... I think I can give up on him, too, because it means he didnât love me enough.â
âYouâre right, though.â Yan Su nodded.
Luosang opened her mouth. What do you mean by, âYouâre right?â Canât you say something to make me feel better? she thought. Youâre making me feel worse.
Fanyu had booked a hotel room for them. They spent one and a half hours traveling from the airport to the hotel via subway. When arriving at the hotel, both of them were starved. They didnât want to go out to eat, so they ordered food online.
After filling their stomachs, they rested until eight oâclock. Then, Yan Su dragged Luosang out of the hotel to search for delicious food. Luosang was in low spirits. From time to time, she looked around. Yan Su could tell what she was thinking. âBejing is a huge city. You canât run into him just that easily. Also, the economics forum is taking place tonight.â
Luosang felt depressed. Yan Su was right. The forum that he was attending made her feel that there was a large distance between him and her now. That night, after a shower, Luosang laid on her bed, searching for news about the economics forum on her phone.
The network was very advanced now. The forum had just ended, but relevant pictures could already be found online, especially the full video of Nian Juntingâs speech. He stood straight on that stage without even a draft. His accent was so perfect, and his speech was so smooth, without repeated content and words.
The media compared him to an illuminant, describing him as the youngest financier and investor in the industry, and as a brave, wise, and far-sighted man. Luosang knew nothing about finance, but she, too, found every single word he said so convincing.
His speech lasted for 15 minutes. She watched it all. At last, he stood in a line with a group of financiers to take a picture, and still, he looked so outstanding. Many people say that men shimmered with charm when they were working. Nian Junting was not an exception. At that moment, Luosang almost forgot that he was a freak in private. On the contrary, she was a little proud, because she had slept with that charming man. That was really worth living.
...
The next morning, Yan Su rested at the hotel while Luosang got up very early. She needed to go to Fanyu for a meeting. âDoes Shi Xiang know that youâre here?â
âI didnât tell him.â Yan Su shook her head.
âI guess Iâll see him at the meeting today. Iâll see if I can find a chance to talk to him.â Luosang got dressed, said goodbye to Yan Su, and then left. Fanyu Game was only about a ten-minute walk from the hotel. When she arrived, the other voice actors and actresses had arrived as well.
Around the long conference table, a young woman in a white coat was sitting near the door. She had a pointed face. Luosang failed to recognize her. As she sat down next to her, that woman turned and said, âXu Luosang, Iâm surprised that you bounced back. I really have underestimated you.â
Luosang paused shortly, then finally recognized her. âZhou Wanke? Why are you here?â
âIâm dubbing for one of the supporting female roles.â Zhou Wanke looked at her in an unfriendly way. âThe lead female role was mine. Itâs all Ji Nuanyiâs fault. She recommended you and let you get the job.â
