13 was forced to drink by the female lead

◎Have a drink, sister◎

Yan Sui snapped out of her daze, turned her head, and smiled reassuringly, "I know what I'm doing, don't worry. But if it gets too late, I'll go back to my own place..."

"Come to my house, we can go together."

At this moment, Jian Liyun's attitude was extremely tough.

Yan Sui was now completely obedient to Jian Liyun, so she didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.

...

broken.

We arrived in the city last night, and it was almost midnight.

Yan Sui and Jian Liyun went home. She didn't sleep well that night and felt a little dizzy the next day. Director Kong called ahead of time.

"Xiao Yan, come early. There are quite a few people here today, so you can learn a lot of new industry information."

So Yan Sui yawned and went to the highly private club. Among the group of people dressed in glamorous attire, she spotted them at a glance—

The exceptionally beautiful female lead, Lu Shutian.

Yan Sui had only one thought in her mind:

broken.

Why would the female lead be here at this time? According to Lu Shutian, shouldn't she be filming a music video for her new song in the countryside right now?

Yan Sui was almost certain that Lu Shutian had come for Jian Liyun.

But what exactly does Lu Shutian want to do? Is she trying to steal Jian Liyun's resources? But their current resources, apart from variety shows, have no overlap whatsoever. Even if they appear on variety shows, their roles are completely different, so there is no conflict of interest.

Lu Shutian is more difficult to deal with than this whole group of people.

Yan Sui was still brainstorming when Director Kong waved to her, "Xiao Yan, come here."

Yan Sui took a deep breath and walked over.

Director Kong smiled brightly, "Everyone, this is Yan Sui. She has just taken over the work of our company's actress Jian Liyun. Please take good care of her."

A middle-aged woman chimed in, "Jian Liyun? That actress's acting skills are unparalleled among the new generation of actors. Xiao Yan, you've really struck gold."

Yan Sui smiled and sat down, her gaze no longer glancing at Lu Shutian. "Yes, my Li Yun is indeed very capable. If you all have any good opportunities or good scripts, please remember to recommend her."

At that moment, another person pushed open the door and entered. This person was the manager of another artist from Yan Sui's company.

Director Kong began making new arrangements, and Yan Sui, sitting next to her, smiled and chatted with her from time to time, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

"elder sister."

The conversation was interrupted by an almost cloyingly sweet female voice.

Lu Shutian stood up, swirling the wine glass in her hand as she approached Yan Sui from behind.

His left hand rested naturally on the woman's shoulder.

I'd like to offer you a toast.

After saying that, Lu Shutian downed the light grass-yellow liquid in her glass, which had a fairly high alcohol content.

Director Kong smiled broadly, but actually gave Yan Sui a meaningful look.

How did you, Yan Sui, get involved with someone like Lu Shutian?

At this moment, Yan Sui was discussing things with the system in her mind while also having to put on a show of politeness.

She also picked up her glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The hand on her shoulder reached down, and after Yan Sui finished drinking, her wrist was grabbed.

Lu Shutian gently rubbed Yan Sui's wrist with her index finger. Her eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and she looked to be in a very good mood.

Yan Sui said without changing her expression, "What a coincidence, Miss Lu. I didn't expect to meet you again so soon."

Is one chance encounter a coincidence, and two chance encounters also a coincidence?

Director Kong then spoke up at the opportune moment, "Xiao Yan, how did you meet Ms. Lu? She's considered a promising future diva in our industry."

Lu Shutian smiled sweetly and explained, "You flatter me. It's like this, Director Kong. Yesterday, I went to scout out the location for the new song's music video shoot, and for some reason, I accidentally ended up delivering something to Sister Yan Sui for someone else."

She pouted slightly and sighed with some regret, "I originally planned to shoot today, but yesterday the site crew discovered that all the flowers in the flower field where we were originally scheduled to shoot had withered. It will take some time to find a new location, so I came back last night."

So that's why she didn't film today?

However, Lu Shutian's explanation was far from enough to dispel Yan Sui's doubts.

Director Kong nodded. "I see. Miss Lu, you don't have to stand anymore. Xiao Li, there's an empty seat over there. Could you move over a bit to make room for Miss Lu?"

As a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, Director Kong immediately noticed Lu Shutian's closeness and goodwill towards Yan Sui.

Although Lu Shutian is not under the same agency as her, the two parties still maintain a harmonious relationship on the surface.

"Having more friends means having more options"—this is one of Director Kong's principles.

Lu Shutian sat down next to Yan Sui without any hesitation. She held onto Yan Sui's wrist tightly and continued to say with a smile, "When are you going to make fish head soup next time, sister? I want to drink it again."

"Lu Shutian".

A man who looked to be around forty years old called out to Lu Shutian in a somewhat stern manner. Lu Shutian had been sitting next to him.

"Be polite to everyone and don't lose your sense of propriety."

Director Kong immediately came to the rescue, "Old He, Miss Lu has a very likable personality. It's alright, Xiao Yan definitely won't mind."

Yan Sui hadn't even said anything yet.

Faced with the man's rebuke, Lu Shutian's eyes showed no fear, but she deliberately pretended to be scared.

She finally let go of Yan Sui's hand, but took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Yan Sui's waist, then put on a pitiful look and kept burrowing into Yan Sui's arms.

"Sister, look, my manager is so fierce, waaaaah!"

Lu Shutian's hair wasn't long, just past her collarbone, and it wasn't tied up. Her hair swayed with her movements, making Yan Sui's neck a little itchy.

Yan Sui wanted to shake him off but was afraid of hurting him if she made too much of a move, so she could only pat his back reassuringly while asking him to let go first.

Finally, Lu Shutian snuggled in Yan Sui's arms for a while before slowly releasing the forced hug.

Director Kong smiled and said, "So, Xiao Yan, you're good at cooking too? Next time our group has a get-together, come over to my place and show off your skills!"

Lu Shutian cautiously raised her hand, "Can I also participate? Don't worry, Director Kong, I won't eavesdrop on your company's trade secrets. I just want to freeload a meal."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yan Sui was helpless. She said gently, "I only cook home-style dishes. Miss Lu is probably used to eating delicacies. She will find this kind of simple food delicious."

Lu Shutian filled Yan Sui's empty wine glass with wine, and then filled her own glass as well.

She held the wine glass with both hands, "It's not just simple food, sister. How can you say that about yourself? I'll punish you by making you drink with me."

[Host, be careful. It looks like the female lead wants to get you drunk.]

Yan Sui responded in her mind, "I can tell."

But she still drank it all in one gulp, without any hesitation.

The wine wasn't harsh on the throat, but Yan Sui knew it was quite strong. Her body was somewhat sensitive to alcohol, so she estimated she would get drunk soon.

This is going to be a bit tricky.

If it weren't for Lu Shutian, Yan Sui was confident she could escape unscathed. But now, seeing a woman who was clearly after her, Yan Sui felt she needed to find an excuse to slip away first.

More important than finding out the latest news in the industry is not letting anything slip in front of the female lead.

However, Lu Shutian seemed to have seen through her thoughts.

Lu Shutian also drank the wine with a smile, her expression unchanged.

“Director Kong,” Lu Shutian said, resting her cheek on her hand, “To be honest, I thought I would run into Senior Jian on a variety show.”

Director Kong immediately realized, "That lifestyle variety show?"

Although everyone was talking to themselves, Lu Shutian's voice was quite loud, and everyone heard it.

No one spoke up about the inside story, but everyone's face revealed a knowing look.

Given the He family's power, even if they are just having a gathering, they wouldn't dare to gossip.

Lu Shutian seemed completely unaware. She sighed, "Yes, speaking of which, that was the first variety show I originally planned to record. It's a bit of a pity."

Director Kong replied tactfully, "I believe the production team can handle this issue quickly. However, with Ms. Lu's popularity, you will definitely be invited to other variety shows as well."

Lu Shutian hummed in agreement, "I had dinner and chatted with a producer friend a while ago, and we came up with a pretty good idea."

Everyone perked up their ears, but Yan Sui's right eyelid suddenly twitched.

Lu Shutian smiled, revealing her dimples: "An all-female variety show."

Director Kong didn't agree in his heart, but on the surface he still supported her: "Tell me about it."

"The general format of the show is that five female guests in the observation room observe ten female ordinary people. These ten female ordinary people are five couples who have broken up. The guests have to judge which of them were couples before based on their relationship patterns."

While no one spoke, the system erupted in chaos.

[Wait, isn't this a romance novel world?! Why would the female lead bring up lesbian variety shows? That's so strange, host.]

In Yan Sui's view, Lu Shutian in front of her was no longer the innocent heroine in the original novel, so it was not strange no matter what Lu Shutian did.

Lu Shutian continued enthusiastically, "The ten female participants will reveal their identities and experiences, as well as the reasons for their breakups. At the same time, the production team will ask them if they are willing to get back together. The five female guests in the studio will watch and comment throughout the process. These five female guests have different professions, ages, and personalities, so everyone can look at the issue from different perspectives."

After a moment of silence, a woman who seemed decisive and efficient broke the silence, "I think it's feasible, Ms. Lu. Have you finalized the production team? And investors? I can introduce them to you."

"Is this the female lead's halo?" Yan Sui thought to herself, "She can still get support from everyone for promoting a yuri-themed variety show in a romance novel."

Perhaps the female lead's aura is indeed powerful.

Lu Shutian smiled and shook her head, "It's just a preliminary idea."

She then looked at Yan Sui, her tone sweet and cloying, "But if filming really happens, could Senior Jian participate in this variety show?"
