—You have pretty good eyesight, kid.

A string of words suddenly popped into Cen Yu's mind.

But he showed no embarrassment at having his lie exposed, and simply looked at Li Yanxiao as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "You saw it?"

Li Yanxiao reached out and poked Cen Yu's cheek. "Yes."

"So what if you see it?" Cen Yu said nonchalantly. "I did it on purpose."

He offered no explanation for his motives, and didn't care if Li Yanxiao saw it—

Could it be that Li Yanxiao, with his great intelligence, could have figured out that he was trying to create an opportunity for Xie Jinshen?

No one would believe it if I told them.

Cen Yu's reaction was clearly beyond Li Yanxiao's expectations. After glancing at him a few times, Li Yanxiao only released his hand from Cen Yu's shoulder when He Ci looked at him threateningly.

He didn't ask Cen Yu why she did it; anyway, even if he did, he would only get perfunctory lies, so why bother?

Before returning to his seat, Zhan Kongqing slipped something into Cen Yu's hand.

Cen Yu paused for a second before realizing it was a hand warmer.

“?” Cen Yu glanced at the hand warmer, somewhat confused by Zhan Kongqing’s meaning.

Zhan Kongqing hesitated for a second and said, "I've noticed you've been running to the toilet a lot."

"..." Cen Yu held the hand warmer in his hand, unsure whether to praise Zhan Kongqing for being beautiful, kind-hearted, and observant, or to explain that things weren't as Zhan Kongqing thought.

Unfortunately, Zhan Kongqing did not give him a chance to explain.

After handing him the hand warmer, she returned to her seat, while Cen Yu could only hold the hand warmer in her hand and sit down next to Gu Hanyin again.

When he sat down, Gu Hanyin did not turn around, and continued to chat with Sister Yu about filming matters.

When Sister Yu saw He Ci arrive, she waved to him and said that she would go ahead first.

He Ci naturally went to see Sister Yu off.

Cen Yu looked at Gu Hanyin beside her until the other person looked at her.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Hanyin's voice wasn't loud, and the music in the room at that moment was just enough to cover his voice—except for Cen Yu sitting next to him, probably no one else could hear him.

Cen Yu was calculating their exit time in his mind, and when Gu Hanyin asked him, he just turned his head to look at him and said, "I was wondering if Director Gu has obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

He glanced meaningfully at his buttons.

Gu Hanyin's expression relaxed slightly at this moment. Perhaps because he had photographed his teacher's painting, he was in a good mood today. So, in response to Cen Yu's pointless question, he surprisingly replied, "Yes, there are some."

He seemed to want to say something more, but unexpectedly, another person came over with a wine glass.

Although Gu Hanyin was impatient inside, he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, though his fingers unconsciously tapped the table, a somewhat irritated gesture.

Cen Yu thought of Mu Fengyin at this moment... Her gaze swept around the room, but she did not see the other party who should have been sitting at the main table.

strangeness.

He wondered, could it be that they really went to the police to investigate?

That's impossible. Based on his understanding of Mu Fengyin, he shouldn't want this to become news that everyone is talking about. Besides, the mastermind behind this is quite clear.

Perhaps because the banquet was already halfway through, people began to slowly leave.

Cen Yu noticed that most of the people at the main table had already left. After greeting yet another person who came with a purpose, Gu Hanyin also stood up, loosened her collar, and seemed to be preparing to leave as well.

At that moment, another person arrived.

However, unlike the investors, agents, or actors who came before, this time it was a big shot.

The male lead for the movie "Dog Journey" has been cast.

Ji Hengyun, who won two Best Actor awards in the last awards season.

Ji Hengyun is 38 years old this year. He is gentle and reserved, handsome, and has always been clean-living with no scandals.

He and Gu Hanyin are old partners; he was the male lead in the last film that was nominated for the main competition.

When Gu Hanyin saw him, her expression relaxed a bit. "It's you."

"Otherwise what?" Ji Hengyun smiled, he was always gentle.

When they met such a senior, the other members of the group almost immediately stood up to greet Ji Hengyun.

Ji Hengyun smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down quickly. "It's alright, you all chat." He patted Gu Hanyin on the shoulder. "I just need to talk to Old Gu about something."

After saying that, the two left the table.

In addition to the banquet hall, the venue also had many lounges, and Ji Hengyun went to her own lounge.

As soon as he arrived at the lounge, he got straight to the point and asked Gu Hanyin, "Do you have a plan for Qian Aige's role?"

Gu Hanyin pulled up a chair and sat down. He looked at Ji Hengyun and asked, "Who sent you to investigate?"

"Have you forgotten that I also invested money?" Ji Hengyun and Gu Hanyin were quite familiar with each other, so he spoke without any restraint.

"If no one is chosen..."

"Someone has been chosen."

Ji Hengyun looked at Gu Hanyin, "Don't lie to me."

“There is one.” Gu Hanyin looked at Ji Hengyun. “Do you remember Qian Aige’s first appearance?”

Ji Hengyun didn't understand why Gu Hanyin was suddenly testing his familiarity with the script. As a road crime film, "Dog Journey" featured two main characters whose images weren't exactly positive, and had a touch of dark humor.

Qian Aige is a petty swindler who cheats and deceives.

His first appearance was in a toilet where he was playing a honey trap with someone.

However, this time they encountered a tough opponent, namely Sun Biao, played by Ji Hengyun.
