Ren Su, who was studying the script at home, suddenly heard the phone ring.
It was his agent, who usually didn't give him a friendly look.
This time, he's probably calling again because he wants her to accompany him for drinks.
Thinking about her public image, she suppressed her impatience and answered the call.
"Susu, where are you right now?"
The agent's voice came through the phone; it was still that of a middle-aged, overweight man.
The man had been leering at me since the beginning, and it was only after I used the system to capture evidence of his infidelity that he toned it down considerably. However, since then, his attitude towards me has become even colder and more hostile.
She had no chance to get any good scripts or endorsements; in fact, she hadn't worked for a month before this.
This also conveniently allows her to familiarize herself with the plot and has time to pursue the three male leads.
To avoid the character being out of character, Ren Su tried her best to maintain her inconspicuous role and replied, "Brother Wang, I'm at home, what's up?"
Upon hearing her voice, her agent, Brother Wang, immediately burst into a fawning laugh.
"Susu, I knew I was right about you. You actually got the role in Director Jia's film. You're amazing."
Ren Su looked at the script in her hand and snorted inwardly.
As expected, the entertainment industry is a place of power and influence. Before she even started filming, her manager, who had previously wanted to sideline her, had already changed his tune.
This also shows that the script is indeed quite good; it seems the system has gone all out this time.
After a few brief compliments, agent Wang revealed the purpose of the visit: "Director Jia contacted me about the pre-production dinner tomorrow night. Could you perhaps introduce some of our company's seniors to him?"
Ren Su had anticipated his response, and feigned difficulty, saying, "It's possible, but I've finally landed this role as the third female lead. Without an assistant, won't I be overshadowed by others...?"
By this point, Brother Wang had already understood the implication in her words. He couldn't help but curse her several times in his mind before smiling and saying, "It was my oversight. Don't worry, I'll arrange a little assistant for you right away, and you don't need to worry about your makeup and styling tomorrow night..."
After hanging up the phone, Ren Su smiled with satisfaction.
Tomorrow night, she must seize the opportunity to leave a deep impression on Tu Hengchuan!
Meanwhile, Tu Hengchuan was about to turn the house upside down.
When Sister Yu knocked on the door, she was startled to see the dark circles under his eyes.
"Did you not sleep at all last night? Don't forget there's a dinner party tomorrow night."
Tu Hengchuan nodded with a somewhat unpleasant expression, then turned around and continued rummaging through the sofa for something.
He even disregarded his image by turning on his phone's flashlight and lying on the floor to look into the cracks in the sofa.
What are you looking for?
Sister Yu noticed that something was wrong with him and frowned as she asked.
Tu Hengchuan gave a soft "hmm" while continuing to work: "The earring in my ear is gone."
That was the only thing his mother left him, but now it's gone!
Knowing how important that earring was to him, Sister Yu couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that you took it off when you were showering?"
"Impossible, I won't let it out of my sight while I'm sober..."
As he said this, his breath suddenly caught in his throat, as if he had remembered something.
The only time I was not in a conscious state was that night, and it seems that the earring in my ear also disappeared around that time.
Suddenly, a face appeared in his mind.
Sister Yu watched as he suddenly got up from the floor as if he had a serious illness, and then started looking for something on the sofa.
What are you looking for now?
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Tu Hengchuan would have made himself look so pathetic.
Tu Hengchuan felt his mind was in turmoil, and while searching for something, he muttered to himself, "Where's my phone?"
Sister Yu looked at the phone he was holding with the flashlight on, speechless.
"Isn't your phone in your hand?"
These words were like a wake-up call. Tu Hengchuan looked down and, sure enough, saw his phone in his hand.
Having not rested for a day and a night, his eyes looked bloodshot, and he looked like a madman.
He found Su Ping's chat page and made a voice call directly to her.
Su Ping, who was squatting by the pool intending to give Song Qi a close-up shot, was startled when a voice call suddenly popped up. She almost dropped her phone into the pool.
Why did her dad call her? Did he think something happened between them that night and was calling to ask?
But a whole day and night has passed. Even if we were to ask, isn't the reaction time a bit too long?
Watching Song Qi swimming freely in the pool, Su Ping answered the phone and held it to her ear.
Before she could speak, Tu Hengchuan's voice came through the phone: "Where are you?"
Su Ping choked for a moment, then answered truthfully, "At school."
"Send me your location."
Although Su Ping was puzzled, she still sent him her location.
Tu Hengchuan looked at the location she had sent on his phone and then asked.
"Do you have my earring?"
When he asked about the earring, Su Ping remembered that she had put it in a box in her room and nodded, saying, "Yes, I took it off last night because I was afraid you would be recognized."
"Who gave you permission to touch it?"
? ? ?
Su Ping was so angry she laughed, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
On the other side, after touring around, Song Qi subconsciously looked over at Su Ping and found that she was no longer looking at him, but instead holding her phone to her ear as if she was making a phone call.
By the time he realized what was happening, he had already swum toward her.
"Senior, who are you talking to on the phone?"
Hearing Song Qi's voice from not far behind her, Su Ping reflexively hung up the phone.
Faced with Song Qi's wet gaze, she coughed twice, feeling a little guilty: "Nobody. I think we need to think of a way to get out of here quickly."
Song Qi saw her flustered little expression but didn't say anything.
She became even more curious about who she was talking to on the phone and why she was in such a hurry to leave after hanging up.
Seeing that Song Qi agreed and was about to come up from the other side, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her phone, which was now off.
Tu Hengchuan shouldn't have heard Song Qi's voice just now, right?
Something's not right. Why is she so guilty? She doesn't believe that Tu Hengchuan would really come to the school to find her.
Just then, Song Qi's voice came from not far away.
"Senior, I'm feeling a bit weak, could you come and give me a hand?"
Thinking about how many laps he had just swum, Su Ping nodded without hesitation and walked over to him.
He put Tu Hengchuan's matter out of his mind.
