The 18-year-old female supporting character is forever young.
◎Always on the road to jealousy◎
Yan Sui shook her head: "I can't guess, but if she likes it, I'll just give it to her."
Sitting on the soft leather sofa in the VIP lounge, Yan Sui tapped away at her phone screen—
She is using various connections to find that young director who is currently unknown.
A moment later, Yan Sui's phone began to vibrate, and the caller ID on the screen read "Director Kong".
Yan Sui answered the phone, "Director Kong."
The voice on the other end of the line from Director Kong was very noisy. She said loudly, "Xiao Yan, I'll send you Jin Lan's contact information later."
"Thank you, Director Kong," Yan Sui said with a smile.
Director Kong chatted with someone else for a few minutes on the phone before turning to talk to Yan Sui: "Although Jin Lan comes from a prestigious university and is a professionally trained director, she has never directed a commercial film or television drama before, and she is so young. Even if you want to get to know her and collaborate with her, you should think carefully."
"Understood, Director Kong. You go ahead with your work, I won't bother you any longer."
After obtaining the phone number, Yan Sui sent a message to the other party.
After putting her phone back in her bag, Yan Sui felt sleepy and unknowingly fell asleep against the sofa.
“...Sui Sui”.
A gentle female voice woke Yan Sui. She opened her eyes and saw Jian Liyun sitting next to her.
She was wearing Jian Liyun's coat.
Fortunately, the lounge had air conditioning, so Jian Liyun wouldn't catch a cold.
Yan Sui quickly changed her coat back, saying, "You just had blood drawn, and your body is still weak. Why did you give me your coat?"
Jian Liyun smiled as she took the coat, teasingly saying, "I'm still healthier than someone who's had too much to drink."
Yan Sui coughed lightly, "Alright, alright, are you done with your tests this morning?"
Jian Liyun hummed in agreement. "Shall we have lunch here, or go outside?"
Yan Sui thought for a moment: "What time does the afternoon's check-up start?"
Two points.
Yan Sui glanced at the time on her phone again. "Okay, let's go out and find a restaurant to eat at."
Although Jian Liyun is not extremely famous, she still has a certain level of popularity, and viewers who enjoy watching TV dramas and movies are more or less familiar with her.
So, just to be on the safe side, Yan Sui still made Jian Liyun wear a mask.
His mouth and nose were covered by a black mask, but his dark eyes no longer held their usual coldness; they were as gentle as spring water.
Yan Sui didn't feel uncomfortable being stared at like that; she even leaned closer to take a look.
The two of them got closer and closer.
Jian Liyun blinked naturally—
But beneath the mask, she had unconsciously bitten her lower lip.
Yan Sui went from observing carefully at the beginning to admiring it with her eyes later.
“Li Yun, I’ve actually discovered that you could try playing some roles with a gentle undertone. Your eyes can be very gentle too.”
Since her debut, Chien Li-yun has mostly played cold and aloof characters, including bloodthirsty killers, but she has never played a gentle character.
Yan Sui sighed inwardly, "No wonder she's a future movie queen. As an actress, she has a strong ability to portray different characters. Those dark eyes can be so cold that people dare not look at them for too long, or so gentle that people's hearts pound faster."
Jian Liyun replied without hesitation, "Because..."
Those eyes are fixed on you.
Yan Sui happily chimed in, "Because our Li Yun is the best actress in the world, a future Best Actress!"
Jian Liyun chuckled, "...Never mind."
The two left the medical examination center in high spirits. Jian Liyun nudged Yan Sui with her elbow and said, "I know a very private restaurant nearby, it's only a ten-minute walk away."
“Sure, let’s go there then,” Yan Sui paused, “but these kinds of places usually require reservations, right?”
Jian Liyun tilted her head slightly, looking like she wanted praise: "Others need it, but I don't."
Adhering to the principle of encouraging education, Yan Sui praised without reservation: "Wow, that's wonderful! My Li Yun is amazing."
Jian Liyun turned her head away and didn't say anything.
However, she was already smiling broadly.
Upon arriving at the store, the staff member, upon seeing Jian Liyun, skillfully led the two to the room in the far corner upstairs.
Jian Liyun opened the menu and handed it to Yan Sui across from her, "Take a look and see what you want to eat."
Yan Sui didn't have time to look at the menu before her phone rang.
It was Jinlan calling!
As soon as Yan Sui answered the call, the other party got straight to the point: "Hello Yan Sui, this is Jin Lan. I saw the message you sent me. I can collaborate with your artist, but I have one request."
Yan Sui had no reason not to agree, "Please speak."
Jin Lan waited a few seconds, then said, "Never mind, let's talk in person. When is a convenient time for you?"
The meeting time they had discussed was actually set for now:
Everything was so perfectly timed, the location was perfect, and Jinlan was also in the city, even near this restaurant.
Jinlan will arrive in twenty minutes.
Unexpected events always happen faster than plans. After the two finished ordering, Yan Sui began to urgently introduce the director to Jian Liyun.
As Jian Liyun listened, she searched for information about Jin Lan on her phone. "Has this director never directed any commercial films or television series?"
There is very little information about Jinlan online, and her works from her student days received little attention. She also doesn't have any social media accounts, making it difficult to find any useful information about her.
Yan Sui nodded, "Yes, but she... well, she's very capable. As a director, she has a strong sense of control over the entire project, and her style is bold and avant-garde. The projects she's in charge of are unparalleled in the entire entertainment industry."
Yan Sui couldn't say anything more. She couldn't very well say that this person would become a famous director in the future, and that they were just making an initial investment.
Jian Liyun narrowed her eyes. "You admire her?"
Yan Sui nodded frantically. This was a rare benefactor to Jian Liyun, and she had to seize this opportunity.
"Of course, my judgment of people is never wrong. You will become a movie queen in the future, and she will become a very great director!"
Even though she was praised along with everyone else, Jian Liyun felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Judging from the other person's expression, Yan Sui thought that the other person had doubts about Jin Lan's professional ability, but seeing that Jin Lan was about to arrive, she could only reassure Jian Liyun first.
"Anyway, I'll talk to her later. You... if you don't want to talk, then don't."
Jian Liyun nodded slightly.
The door to the private room was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew in.
The newcomer was a woman wearing a dark brown trench coat, with neat short hair, black sunglasses, and a simple underarm bag.
Hello.
Jin Lan gave a brief greeting and then took her seat.
Yan Sui immediately stood up and extended her left hand, "Hello, Miss Jin."
Jin Lan shook hands with a perfunctory gesture, getting straight to the point as always: "Jian Liyun, actress, I know you, and I've seen your TV dramas and movies. To be honest, your portrayal of each character is excellent, and I admire you very much. I'm very happy to be able to work with you. But—"
Yan Sui held her breath, knowing that the other party was about to make a request.
As expected, Jin Lan shrugged, "I'm busy with things right now and don't have time to think about starting filming. However, if you can help me resolve this, I can assemble a filming team and start filming as quickly as possible. I have a great script right now."
Yan Sui knew, of course, that the other person was referring to that infinite flow TV series, and she nodded hurriedly: "Please say so, we will definitely help if we can."
Jin Lan took a deep breath, interlaced his fingers, and said in a heavy tone, "My girlfriend and I broke up six months ago."
Jian Liyun and Yan Sui: ?
I miss her so much.
[This person is talking nonsense. They shouldn't call her "girlfriend" anymore; they should call her "ex-girlfriend."]
Yan Sui thought to herself, "Shut up, system. But I didn't expect Jin Lan to actually like women."
But after thinking it over carefully, she realized that the original novel did not mention Jin Lan's love life, so it was not surprising whether she liked women or men.
Jin Lan's tone grew increasingly heavy: "I want to see her."
Yan Sui hadn't expected to be working as a private investigator. "You mean you want me to help you find your ex-girlfriend?"
Seemingly stung by the words "ex-girlfriend," Jin Lan sighed, "I know where she is, but she doesn't want to see me."
So what does Jinlan want?
Before Yan Sui could ask, Jin Lan asked, "As far as I know, your artist Jian Liyun might participate in an all-female dating reality show, right?"
