Zhou Haoyu invited Lin Shimeng out for dinner, and as soon as they sat down, Lin Shimeng sensed that something was off.
Her ambiguous relationship with Zhou Haoyu had been going on for quite some time. This sugar daddy was the person she was trying to please, and she always took good care of his feelings, which made her the most sensible woman in his eyes.
That's true right now too.
Her mind raced, and it was probably as Fan Qing said: Lian Cheng had sown discord between Zhou Haoyu and Zhou Haoyu.
Lin Shimeng pretended not to know and began to sigh after sitting down, "I've troubled President Zhou to spend money again. I feel bad that President Zhou always spends money for me. How about I treat you this time? My fees for the last two dramas have come down, and they're still quite a lot!"
Sure enough, Zhou Haoyu's brows relaxed considerably.
He works in the food service industry, so naturally he knows where the best food is.
Besides, you don't even need to pay for using his face; he only pays out of politeness.
Lin Shimeng is a good girl, not greedy for money. She already said she would treat him to a meal.
He had never found such qualities in any other woman.
Some gold diggers will even take him to luxury stores, just because they're after his assets.
But Lin Shimeng wouldn't, which is why he has been investing in her.
"I'm glad the beautiful lady would do me the honor of having dinner; I'll pay for it."
As Zhou Haoyu spoke, he raised his glass and clinked it against Lin Shimeng's.
"I can't drink too much, I have to film tomorrow."
"Okay, eat more vegetables, they're all low in salt and oil."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou," Lin Shimeng said, picking up a piece of cucumber and chewing it. "Sigh, the market isn't doing so well these days. Every time we film a movie, we have to create hype. The producer talked to me before, and what he really meant was that they want to use me and Si Chen for publicity, and told me not to say anything out of line. They don't expect me to sabotage anything, they just expect me not to say anything. Being a female actor is so tough..."
Hearing Lin Shimeng's complaints, Zhou Haoyu's expression softened.
Lin Shimeng seemed oblivious, continuing, "Honestly, I can't go against the producer's wishes. After all, I'm the female lead and he's the male lead. I don't really like it, but I have to do it. Mr. Zhou, should I be complaining to you about this? You're so busy, and I'm bothering you with such a trivial matter. I'm really..."
Seeing Lin Shimeng's lively expression, Zhou Haoyu smiled and said, "It's okay. I like it when you talk about these little things. If we weren't close, you wouldn't tell me these things."
"Yes, I don't dare to talk much with the crew. Fan Qing used to manage a female artist, whom I treated like a younger sister. I would always think of her when I had opportunities, but she not only took on roles recklessly, but also slandered me everywhere, which made Fan Qing very angry. Now, I dare not say anything more to the other people in the crew..."
"It's okay, you can say whatever you want in front of me."
"Mr. Zhou, you are so kind. Nowadays, capitalists are all bloodsuckers, but you are not."
"Oh? What did I do wrong?"
Lin Shimeng pointed to the dishes on the table, "You will bleed."
Zhou Haoyu was successfully amused by her.
After they finished eating, they took Lin Shimeng back home.
Lin Shimeng was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it.
Every step she took was exactly as she had planned, so why were she and Zhou Haoyu still just friends?
Everyone knew he liked her, but it never progressed any further.
