Pei Yan stepped forward to pick up the phone that would have shattered the screen if not for the tempered glass film. When she turned it over, she saw a face that appeared on the electronic screens of major shopping malls, the splash screens of apps, and even in subways and buses every day: the movie queen, Su Yao.
She raised her hand, closed her left eye, and wiped away the tears. "You people, why do you like those soft and fair - skinned men? It's better to like..."
The moment she opened her eyes, her entire aura changed abruptly!
Her sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the screen and into people's hearts. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly to the left. A slender and fair hand casually rested on a wooden chair with elaborate patterns. Her whole body exuded an air of arrogance and laziness.
"Your daddy here..."
As soon as the clean and crisp male voice sounded, the bullet comments on the screen scrolled so fast they became a blur.
This person had always been jokingly referred to by netizens as the "walking aphrodisiac". It wasn't just her gorgeous looks and perfect figure, but also her unpredictable voice that had always been the object of pursuit for many girls.
Before Pei Yan could react, the phone screen went completely black.
There was a small line of white text on it: [The current number of online users is too large. Please refresh and try again.]
"..."
Sun Yang, who had somehow sneaked up beside Pei Yan, was used to this. "It got stuck. The Zhaolang system crashes all the time, especially when Su Yao is live - streaming. It's never normal. Either she gets disconnected or we do. It's really amazing. But Yaoyao is very kind to us. She often reconnects several times to chat with us."
"If you're so free, pry the defendant's mouth open earlier." Pei Yan threw the phone at him.
"Yes... boss." Sun Yang shouted despairingly.
After they all turned around to attend to their own business, Pei Yan slightly opened her mouth and exhaled.
She had actually forgotten to breathe just now.
"Yaoyao, there's a costume drama here. I think it's quite good. There are no major problems with the plot or the characters, and there are very few fight scenes. I've sent it to your phone. Take a look." After Li Lin said this, he threw his phone to Su Yao.
Since Su Yao had sprained her waist while filming some years ago, Li Lin always sorted out the electronic scripts and sent them directly to her phone so that she could read them in any position she liked.
"What? I just got back a few days ago and I have to read scripts again??" Su Yao fumbled to catch the phone, looking incredulous.
Li Lin took off his headphones and packed up his computer. "Your contract will expire in less than half a year. I'm afraid the company will assign you some miscellaneous scripts. It's better to start filming earlier. It may be tiring, but there will be fewer problems."
Su Yao thought it made sense. After all, once she was on set, with her habit of "never leaving the set once she entered", even if they disliked her and wanted to exploit her, they wouldn't force her.
"Then I'll look at it tomorrow. I have a gathering tonight, organized by Yan Le."
Li Lin nodded to show that he knew. "Since it's from the movie king Yan, then go. Yinzi, go with your sister Yao."
"I know, brother." Li Yin replied.
"I'll send a text message to Tiantian and ask her to come over later. I remember he doesn't like people being late. You should go early. You may end up in the same company in the future. It's good to build a good relationship." After seeing his sister's response, Li Lin turned to continue educating Su Yao. "Calm your temper down. Movie king Yan may have heard some rumors and is probably trying to thank you for clarifying the scandal last time. Don't always say it's unnecessary. We don't know if that bastard Wang Tian will cause trouble before we leave the company. It's always good to have an extra way out."
"Got it, got it. Hurry up and go." Su Yao saw that he was about to get busy again. She stood up, grabbed a pear from Li Yin's plate, took a bite, and waved him away.
Seeing her like this, Li Lin could only huff angrily and slam the door as he left.
He was so angry!
The world was really going downhill!
Other artists were obedient to their agents, but she treated him like this.
She would definitely become unpopular one day...
She would...
"Pfft." Su Yao looked at the closed door and burst out laughing. "Why does he always give me the feeling of a little daughter - in - law? Hahaha."
Li Yin didn't know how to describe it either and could only say, "Maybe it's his personality."
This made Su Yao laugh even more uncontrollably.
……
Yao Tiantian had partied with her friends until 4 a.m. last night. It was 5 a.m. by the time she got back, removed her makeup, and washed up. She finally fell asleep but had a nightmare.
When Li Lin called her non - stop, she had a moment of unreality. By the time she got to Su Yao's place, Su Yao and Li Yin were almost scared by her dark eye circles.
So there really was someone whose dark eye circles could rival those of a panda...
Su Yao had collaborated with Yan Nuo a few times before, but their friendship was not deep. She only knew that this person was indifferent to worldly affairs. But she didn't expect that he would invite someone, especially a movie queen, to a teahouse.
He was a tough guy.
However.
Su Yao looked up at the setting sun and the lights just coming on behind her.
At this time.
What were they doing in a teahouse?
Have a rave in the teahouse?
Su Yao couldn't help but think.
She didn't expect that this seemingly gentle person knew how to have fun.
Su Yao got out of the car and took her coat. Knowing that Li Yin didn't like socializing, she told her to go get something to eat on her own and that she would call her later.
Li Yin made an "OK" gesture and walked away.
Su Yao slowly walked into the teahouse named "Manor".
The teahouse was located in the bustling downtown area, but once she entered the hall, there was no more noise from the outside world. All she could hear was the sound of the pipa.
As expected, the teahouse was empty at this time. Su Yao looked around and found that there were no waiters either. Just as she was about to make a call, she heard a voice from above. "Su Yao."
She looked up, and along with the voice, Yan Nuo, wearing a light blue casual outfit with his long hair falling behind him, appeared at the railing on the second floor. He pointed to the elevator hidden behind the curtain on the left. "This way."
Su Yao nodded slightly. Whether it was the environment or the person's influence, she somehow picked up the dignity that she had long since lost.
However, this composure disappeared without a trace as soon as she walked out of the elevator at a leisurely pace and was led into the private room by Yan Nuo.
"Sorry to interrupt! We'll contact you next time!"
"Su Yao?" Pei Yan looked surprised. She put down the teacup in her hand and chased after the person who turned around and ran away as soon as she saw her. "Why are you running!"
"Haha, isn't this Pei Yan? Long time no see." Su Yao struggled to free her arm and forced a smile.
"Indeed, it's been a long time." Pei Yan put down her hand.
Yan Nuo's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them a few times, then he smiled like a scheming fox. "What are you two doing in the corridor? The dishes I ordered should be on the table soon."
Only then did Su Yao remember the purpose of this visit. She smiled and interrupted his about - to - start conversation. "Let's catch up after I discuss my next move."
Pei Yan knew that this meant she didn't want to talk to her, but they had plenty of time in the future, so she nodded in agreement.
Ignoring Pei Yan's overly intense gaze, Su Yao still enjoyed the meal very much.
