"That's strange, how did you know I was here?"
"Great! It's been a long time since we last met at the snow mountain."
"Perfect! Wait for me, I'm coming to find you right away."
After saying that, Wen Yan happily hung up the phone.
She only stopped smiling when she met Shen Jinghe's displeased face.
"Hey, sorry, Second Brother, I think I have an appointment. Could you share that sushi with your assistant?"
"Who?" Shen Jinghe asked sternly. "Who exactly are you willing to abandon me, who is right in front of you?"
"Hehe, it's Jiang Wanwan. Isn't it a coincidence? She happens to be at this hotel too. She knew I was here, so she asked to meet me."
Shen Jinghe frowned, his tone sarcastic: "How did she know you were here? Weren't you driving the whole time, on the phone with Lao Si and texting Lao Da? How did you even have time to chat with her?"
"No! She saw your post and recognized me immediately."
"Hmph, you value friends more than your brother."
"Well, it's easier to see my brother more often. By the way, didn't you know she's staying at the same hotel as you?"
"Why should I know? There are plenty of other hotel guests staying at this hotel."
"Okay! I'll take your agreement as a yes if you don't object, bye!"
Shen Jinghe snorted: "It's really hard to have a meal with you. Get lost, out of sight, out of mind."
As luck would have it, Jiang Wanwan lived downstairs from Shen Jinghe.
When Wen Yan went downstairs, the fried chicken and cola that Jiang Wanwan had ordered had just arrived.
"You were dreaming about fried chicken legs when you were on the snow mountain, you probably haven't had any since you got back, right?"
"How did you know?" Wen Yan quickly went to the bathroom to wash her hands; she couldn't wait any longer.
"I'm guessing. When you get home, your family will definitely prepare a big meal for you. Then you'll go to the film set to film, and you'll have to eat boxed lunches every day. You might even have to control your weight. So I guess you won't have a chance to eat fried chicken. I'll give you both legs today."
"Waaah," Wen Yan immediately hugged Jiang Wanwan, "You're so kind, you're family to me too. But I can't eat alone, let's each have one chicken leg."
As Wen Yan spoke, she put on gloves and tore off the two chicken legs.
The two chatted while eating.
Wen Yan asked curiously, "I wrapped myself up like a dumpling today, and even my second brother didn't recognize me at first. How did you recognize me from just one photo?"
"Because of your second brother, his social media posts are usually either promotions or business updates. This is the first time he's posted a photo with a fan, which means the person in the photo is special. Plus, with your big eyes, I knew it was you at a glance."
“Hmm,” Wen Yan nodded, “That makes sense, the analysis is correct. Do you want some cola? I’ll put the straw in for you.”
"Yes, thank you. You've been filming 'The Palace Lock' lately, haven't you?"
"Hey, yes, it's all tears when I talk about it."
"It's okay, I have plenty of tissues and a shoulder to lean on."
"Hmm?" Wen Yan put down her cola and looked at Jiang Wanwan. "I've noticed you've become more humorous. Well, let me tell you about it then. Here's what happened..."
Wen Yan briefly recounted Fu Yiqing's joining the cast, her own role being replaced, and the director's strike.
After listening, Jiang Wanwan raised her eyebrows: "So what they said was true. I thought there was some exaggeration in it."
"What do you mean? You've heard about what happened with this film crew?"
"That's right, in fact, my team also received an invitation from this production team."
"An invitation? What role would they ask you to play? There probably aren't any major roles left now."
"One of the female leads is Consort Li. She's the character that Fu Yiqing snatched from you."
"Really?!" Wen Yan's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile. "Then you absolutely mustn't hesitate, agree right now!"
"Although I didn't have a direct conflict with her, she really affected the entire crew's work progress."
"I really didn't expect this. I thought the production team would protect her, but they replaced her so quickly. It only happened yesterday, and she's gone today."
Jiang Wanwan chuckled: "You're so agitated? It seems that person is really annoying. I've read the script, and I think it's pretty good."
“I think so too, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken this role. No wonder her agent came to this film and television base, it turns out her job fell through.”
"You two met here today?"
“Yes,” Wen Yan couldn’t help but complain to her friend, “She actually drove and followed me for dozens of kilometers just because I accidentally dropped a hair tie. At first, I thought I was being followed.”
"It's just a hair tie, isn't it?"
"I think so too. So, do you want to take on this role? Why don't you just say yes? The script is great, and we can work together. With you on board, I'm sure this show will be a huge hit!"
"You trust me that much?"
"That's right!" She's the female lead, how could a show with her as the lead not be a hit? "You're a guaranteed ratings success!"
Although she knew it was just polite talk, Jiang Wanwan was still happy to hear it.
"I would agree just for what you said. My filming is wrapping up tonight, and if the production team is ready, I believe we can see each other again soon."
"Perfect!" Wen Yan happily raised her cola. "Cheers!"
