Considering that Lin Jing is from Sichuan, Qu Tian chose a hot pot restaurant as the venue for the party.
From a distance, before even entering the door, the pungent spicy smell goes straight into the diner's nose.
Su Fanxing frowned slightly and pinched the corner of Qu Tian's clothes with her fingers silently.
Qu Tian gave an understanding "OK" sign, ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot, and thoughtfully asked the front desk to bring a bowl of yogurt. "Who knew you, Miss Su, have a Hong Kong palate? Don't worry, we've got everything ready."
"I know you best~" Su Fanxing finally let go of her half-hanging heart.
Ever since that incident, she has been having stomach problems. It's not too serious, but she will never eat spicy food like hot pot.
Fortunately, there is Qu Tian...
She held the arm of her best friend, and a sense of warmth grew in her heart.
Lin Jing had been waiting in the private room for a long time. When he saw them come in, he smiled naturally and said, "Two beauties, come and sit down."
Su Fanxing smiled back and glanced at the director. He was indeed as young and promising as the rumors said.
Unlike the slightly bookish art film directors she had met before, Lin Jing had an inexplicably friendly youthfulness. When he looked at her, his eyes sparkled like a big puppy.
He grinned brightly, and his two fangs caught people's attention, like the warm spring sun.
The red soup in the pot was bubbling non-stop, making one's tongue feel dry just by looking at it.
The steam rising from the hot pot seemed to cast a hazy filter on Lin Jing's smile.
The words fell into Su Fanxing's eyes, causing her heart to suddenly twitch. Her fingertips trembled subconsciously, and she wanted to pinch them into her palms.
Was it her illusion, or was it because she missed him too much?
Lin Jing looks especially like...that person!
Especially when he stood up, smiled and extended his hand to shake her hand.
Her neat short hair fluttered gently in the steam from the hot pot in front of him, as if pulling her back to the end of summer.
On that scorching afternoon at the end of the rain, that man smiled in the same way and cruelly pushed away her fingers that were clutching the corner of his clothes.
The scene flashed back, just for a moment.
Su Fanxing quickly realized the situation and gritted her teeth.
No, Su Fanxing, don't think about it——
She lowered her eyes slightly, forcing herself to calm down for a moment, then she put on a mechanical smile and reached out to shake Lin Jing's slender fingertips: "Director Lin, I've long heard of your great name."
"Hello." Lin Jing felt a cool and soft feeling on his fingertips, which disappeared in a flash.
With his usual smile on his face, he rubbed the bottom of the table with his fingertips.
Su Fanxing hadn't thought about that person in years, and now someone who looked a bit like him suddenly appeared, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She originally wanted to divert her attention by opening the yogurt carton, but she didn't know when the packaging of this yogurt she often drank had been changed. She tried very hard but couldn't find the opening.
"Let me do it." Lin Jing extended his hand gentlemanly, took the yogurt from her hand, unpacked it skillfully, inserted a straw, and handed it back to her table.
She pursed her lips gently and offered a kind explanation: "This brand of yogurt is very famous in the inland areas. The way they open it is different from others."
"Thank you." Su Fanxing thanked generously and took a sip of the yogurt.
At the same time, her cell phone on the table lit up.
It shows that the WeChat message comes from [Mo].
She held the straw in her mouth, biting it habitually, and swiped the screen of her phone with one hand.
Mo: [I ate it.]
Mo: [The housekeeper said you went out?]
......Su Fanxing stared at the line of text for a long time, and inexplicably saw some of Zhou Moshi's tone.
It seemed as if one could see the man gritting his teeth and asking this question viciously.
The thick eyebrows must be tightly furrowed, pressing on the fox eyes, which are full of cruel anger, but inexplicably tender.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, a cunning glint flashed in her eyes. With a flick of her fingertips, she sent the location of the hot pot restaurant.
Su Fanxing: [Come to have dinner with the director and discuss work.]
Su Fanxing: [Can you pick me up in about an hour? I might need to drink a little, so taking a taxi might be a bit dangerous.]
After thinking about it, she secretly took a photo of Lin Jing's hand picking up food, revealing the Patek Philippe watch on it, and clicked send.
He then turned his phone to silent mode.
After doing something bad secretly, Su Fanxing was in a good mood and put her phone upside down on the table.
When I raised my eyes, I met Lin Jing's meaningful gaze.
She felt a little uncomfortable, holding her breath, and pulled the corners of her lips awkwardly. She picked up a piece of beef and put it into the pot to simmer. She changed the subject and said, "Why did Director Lin want to cast me in this role? You should have noticed my recent trending searches. Aren't you afraid that my public opinion will affect the movie?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Tian pinched her thigh.
The slightly resentful look in his eyes was filled with: "Who told you to say that?"
But Lin Jing didn't seem to care at all. When she brought it up, he even smiled rather unruly. His eyes curved into two crescents, and there were even faint dimples at the corners of his lips.
"How could I, Lin, have the privilege to invite an actress like Sister Xing, who is both incredibly popular and has both good acting skills and looks, to star in my movie?"
"Besides..." He used a small spoon to scoop out a beef ball from the clear soup pot and put it in Su Fanxing's bowl. "Sister Xing should take a look at the script. She will definitely be interested."
There was an inexplicable certainty and confidence in his words.
Su Fanxing raised her eyebrows, attracted by his words... A script that could interest her?
Lin Jing took his time, pulled out a folder from the bag behind him, pushed it under her eyes, and tapped the cover with his fingertips: "Have you read the book "Butterfly Charm"?"
"Oh?" Su Fanxing's eyes suddenly lit up, and her attention immediately shifted to the script in front of her.
Who doesn’t know “Butterfly Charm”? It’s the hottest IP novel in the market in the past two years, and I don’t know how much capital is eyeing this piece of cake.
Who would have thought that the copyright would fall into Lin Jing's hands?!
"I've seen your previous performances. This female lead is very suitable for you." Lin Jing shrugged, rubbing his chin with his fingertips, still smiling charmingly.
Su Fanxing flipped through the script and smiled: "Indeed."
She glanced over the script and found that it had basically not been changed from the original.
The story takes place in the Republic of China. It begins with the murder of the heroine Lin Yidie's boyfriend. She joins hands with the male protagonist who is a detective and uncovers a whole series of serial murders.
In the end, the truth was revealed to be a reversal, and the murderer was Lin Yidie herself, and the victims were all officials and gentry who had bullied her when she was a child.
In the end, she died in the arms of the male protagonist, wearing a red cheongsam with tears in her eyes.
The classic line: "You are pure jade, and I am a dirty butterfly from a filthy ditch. Even if I break my wings with all my strength, I dare not get even a little bit contaminated by you." has brought tears to many readers' eyes.
Now, this huge pie in the sky actually fell on her head?!
Su Fanxing was a little bit unbelievable: "This IP... can I act in it?"
"Of course." Lin Jing picked up a piece of spicy pig brain, lowered his head and took a bite, hiding the secretive look in his eyes -
That person said, only you can act.
