âWhoâs interested in a treat?!â The actor paused and immediately grinned. âUnless itâs a sponsored daily feast for a whole year, thatâs more reasonable!â
Liang immediately cried out in grievance. âAre you a vampire? A yearâs worth of meals and, given your appetite, Michelin every day. That would be the end of me!â
âI donât care!â
âA month!â
âSix months!â
âTwo months!â
âSix months!â
âThree months!â
The actor raised his eyebrows and gave the tabletop a firm knock. âOkay, deal!â
Liang Yin was stunned. Eh? Was he not going to continue negotiating his way up? It felt as though⦠sheâd been tricked!
â¦
However, since she had given her word, she had to stick by it.
The next day, Liang Yin immediately organized a meal with Hua Jin and Qin Zhou and made a restaurant booking. She planned to treat them to a feast as a celebration.
......
As soon as he heard that Liang Yin had hired Qin Zhou as her manager, Hua Jin immediately sensed an ulterior motive. Could it be that this woman wanted to get closer to Qin Zhou?
The actor finished his filming early, but Liang Yin had been delayed by the director. A small misunderstanding arose.
It turned out that the actor wanted an early dinner, so he told the director in advance that he had something to do tonight and hoped to finish filming his scenes early. In the production team, this privilege was always there.
Recently, the director had been pleased with the actorâs performance. Coupled with the fact that he was in an excellent mood, he readily agreed.
Unexpectedlyâ¦
The director had moved the filming of his scene ahead of the rest of the supporting cast, but alas, Liang Yinâs scene with the female lead was moved to the end. By the time they were done, it was past five in the evening. If Hua hadnât called the restaurant, they would have lost their reservation.
As it turned out, Qin Zhou was delayed even longer. He was held up in a company meeting, and eventually this took another hour.
Liang Yin and Hua Jin sat in the restaurant waiting, disappointed that Qin Zhou had not arrived.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhen exactly is he coming?â
âUhâ¦â Liang Yin asked Hua Jin curiously, âIs he always so busy?â
âUh huh.â The actor nodded. âAfter all, Qin Zhou is one of Huanyuâs top executives. He handles all of Huanyuâs affairs. He must be very busy.â
âI seeâ¦â Liang Yin looked down, but the actor happened to look past her at this point and saw a woman entering the restaurant, then slowly walking towards their booth.
âIsnât this Li Jing?â
âLi Jing?â Liang Yin frowned. âThat name is so familiar! I think Iâve heard it somewhere.â
âAre you stupid or something.â The actor reminded her, âThis is the actress who was fired by the director before you joined the cast. She was supposed to play the role of the KokakuchÅ!â
âAh⦠I remember now! Was it⦠the woman you said had had an abortion because sheâd been knocked up and it delayed filming?â
âUh huh!â
Liang Yin felt inexplicably guilty and did not dare to look back. âWhich way is she coming? Did she see me?â
âWhy are you acting so guilty?â
âI donât know. It feels weirdâ¦â
âSheâs coming over.â
As soon as he said that, Liang Yin lowered her head in guilt, like an ostrich.
The actorâs gloom deepened. Li Jing walked past the booth. Initially, she did not see Liang Yin, but she recognized Hua Jin at a glance and immediately walked over with a smile to greet him.
