Yun Shudai was surprised. She knew a little about the world in the book. The flagship hotel under Anjiang's company usually required reservations half a month in advance. Even if she had a net worth of hundreds of millions in her previous life, she would not have been willing to hire such an expensive chef to serve her.
It seems like the male and female protagonists always stay at this brand of hotel.
"I'll take you there for dinner another time when I'm free."
"Um."
Halfway through the meal, Yun Shudai received a call from Sister Yao. Sister Yao's voice was cheerful: "Shushu, the company just received an invitation from the production team of 'Luoshanxing' to play the second female lead. I originally thought the competition for this role was fierce and that we had nothing to do with it, but who would have thought that they would call us and specifically ask for you."
"Sister Yao... I don't want to take the role in 'The Journey to the West'."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, as if the person on the other end understood Yun Shudai's concerns: "...Shushu, I know why you don't want to accept it, but in the entertainment industry, you have to be famous, you have to have traffic, you have to have topics. Although you accepted their cover character design, which is a kind of collaboration, it still doesn't generate much buzz compared to acting in the same drama as Shen Jimeng. Besides, the industry is only so big, and there will be many opportunities to meet in the future. You can't keep avoiding her. Moreover, in the matter of Jiang Yi, it should be them who are avoiding her."
"No matter whose fault it is, I just don't want to be in the same production crew as her."
Being in the same production crew, something was bound to happen, and given her status as a supporting actress, it wouldn't end well.
"I think you should reconsider. The boss already knows about this. She thinks it's an opportunity. If you don't want to take it, come back this afternoon and give the boss a reason."
"good."
Yun Shudai hung up the phone, her expression somewhat grave.
Bai Muyin didn't ask many questions but already knew the general idea. He didn't offer any words of comfort but simply silently helped Yun Shudai pick up some food.
"Mr. Bai, I need to go to the company in a little while."
Bai Muyin glanced at the time and said slowly, "I'll take you home after you finish eating."
"No need, I can manage on my own."
Thinking about the car she was driving, Bai Muyin didn't insist anymore.
However, after the meal, I didn't rush her to leave. I personally made her freshly squeezed juice and let her rest for twenty minutes before letting her go.
In Yun Shudai's mind, the rich second-generation she had met "before" were all people who never lifted a finger to do housework.
But today, she not only saw Bai Muyin squeezing juice, but also saw him clearing the dishes. Judging from his skill, he must do housework often.
On her way to the company, Yun Shudai was still shocked by what a treasure of a man she had met.
Upon arriving at the company, she first met Sister Yao, who sighed with a sour expression and, without saying a word, took her directly to see the boss.
The boss has been recording a variety show as a mentor these days. He just got back today and received an invitation to participate in "Luoshanxing".
Unlike Sister Yao, Li Miaomiao didn't look upset. She pointed to a chair next to her and asked them to sit down.
"I heard what you mean from A Yao, and I just asked around in the crew too." Li Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise, and asked, "Guess who recommended Shushu?"
Sister Yao asked first, "Who is it?"
The boss smiled and said, "One is Jiang Yi's company, and the other is an investor in 'Luoshanxing' surnamed He. I can understand Jiang Yi's company; Jiang Yi probably feels indebted to Shushu for what happened before. But that investor doesn't seem to have any connection with our company. So, I suspect there might be other hidden reasons behind this."
Sister Yao thought for a moment and said, "Does the boss mean that the investors might be interested in our Shushu?"
Li Miaomiao did not answer, but also felt that this was possible.
Aside from the female lead's star power and some infighting during filming, "The Journey of Falling Mountains" boasted top-notch production values. The drama became incredibly popular after its release, yet Yun Shudai remained silent, unwilling to seize the opportunity. Moreover, He Qingyi, the second male lead from the book, was now also involved.
She didn't understand why He Qingyi would recommend this role to her, since the two of them didn't even know each other.
The boss, Sister Yao, and the boss's agent discussed it for a long time in the office and finally decided to help Yun Shudai turn down "The Journey to Luoshan".
Afterwards, the boss talked to Sister Yao about her work schedule. There was a commercial endorsement, and they were already in contact with the company's representative. The recommended actress was Yun Shudai, but the filming would need to be done overseas.
Sister Yao told Yun Shudai to go back and work on the design, and try to finish the poster in the shortest possible time.
Some character designs are actually quite easy to do, and can be completed in a day or two, while others are more complex.
After leaving the company, Yun Shudai went home to work hard. Once in her spatial dimension, she told He Wan about what had happened there.
While knitting, He Wan said, "I guess it's that villain surnamed He who's taking the male lead seriously."
Jiang Yi recommended you, and he recommended you even before the male lead did, just to annoy him.
“You’re right. Whatever they’re up to, I don’t want to get involved. I’m living a very comfortable life right now. Lao He, what do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”
