Chapter 12: Just Visiting the Entertainment Circle for Fun
He Wang finally woke up from his dream. For some reason, he could never show his maturity, stability and reliability in front of Song Mingjiao.
Just like at this moment, He Wang, like a young boy, almost said incoherently: "Come in quickly."
Song Mingjiao curved his eyes politely and said, "Thank you."
Then he walked into the living room without any hesitation, as if he was entering or leaving his own home.
"This is an upscale residential complex, home to many celebrities, so the security personnel are very experienced. Sneaky paparazzi won't be able to escape their scrutiny, so don't worry."
He Wang welcomed Song Mingjiao in and explained, trying to calm Song Mingjiao's fear of paparazzi.
He Wang's home is a large flat in the city center. Compared with Song Mingjiao's quiet villa, it has a more down-to-earth feel. The living room has a whole wall of high floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can take in the city scenery from a high-rise perspective.
Song Mingjiao liked this angle and scenery, and was in a very happy mood at the moment: "Okay, I believe Teacher He."
He Wang, who was following behind Song Mingjiao, finally adjusted his facial expression and managed to regain his normal appearance. He wanted to engage in differentiated competition!
That guy surnamed Mo and Song Mingjiao are not in an open relationship, they are just lovers, it doesn’t matter!
Now that Song Mingjiao has taken the initiative to find him, she must be interested in him too.
What a joke, is he still no match for Mo Qinan?!
Song Mingjiao was unaware of the grinning, imaginative thoughts of the man behind him, and he walked around the spacious living room in a familiar manner, then stopped at the island counter.
"Teacher He can cook?" Song Mingjiao looked around and saw obvious signs of cooking in the kitchen. It was not like some people's homes where they could put two bottles of Coke in the refrigerator, which was considered diligent.
He Wang suddenly felt that the cooking skills he had learned specifically for filming came in handy at this moment, so he casually named a bunch of dishes again.
"I know all these Chinese and Western dishes. Mingjiao, you must be tired after rushing here. Is there anything you want to eat?"
Song Mingjiao suddenly heard the last two characters of his name spoken by someone else. Few people called him that, and he suddenly felt a little curious.
"Okay, I want to eat sago, or double skin milk."
Song Mingjiao still likes desserts so much, it’s a no-brainer, and he just named several off the top of his head.
He bent down slightly, supported the table with one hand, leaned on the island counter and looked at He Wang. His eyes were filled with pure desire for delicious food, which made people unable to refuse.
Of course, this also included He Wang, who was standing on the island platform at the moment, very close to Song Mingjiao. He still managed to remain calm and said, "Of course, no problem."
Song Mingjiao then began to watch He Wang busying himself out of curiosity. As a guest, he did not feel guilty at all when he saw the host busying around for him. Instead, after seeing the food in He Wang's refrigerator, he asked sincerely:
"Teacher He also likes to make desserts? It seems that most people don't have these kinds of ingredients ready at home."
He Wang's hands, which were busy stirring, suddenly froze for a moment. He certainly couldn't tell Song Mingjiao that since that day in the lounge, he had been secretly observing Song Mingjiao and Mo Qinan's schedule like a secret admirer, and he also accidentally discovered some of Song Mingjiao's preferences.
Ten years of hard work off stage, one minute on stage.
He had been practicing dessert making techniques for many days just to capture Song Mingjiao's stomach at this moment!
"Well, I'm preparing for my next film. The role I'm going to play will have scenes like this."
He Wang told the lie without changing his expression.
"Wow, that's amazing! Teacher He is so dedicated."
Song Mingjiao praised He Wang in a very flattering way, which almost ruined his performance. Fortunately, he didn't crush the sago.
Song Mingjiao thought that what he said was very emotionless and formulaic, but he didn't expect He Wang to react so strongly.
He blinked and asked curiously, "So, is Mr. He studying the relationship between Mo Qinan and me also for filming?"
——Click.
He Wang seemed to hear the sound of a string breaking in his heart.
Song Mingjiao still had a smile on his face, and even tilted his head, as if he was really confused. He asked this question in a very casual and sudden manner.
No way, no way? No one really thinks he's just messing around all day, eating and drinking for free, and has no sensitivity to what's happening around him, right?
Oh, that idiot system might really think so.
"you......"
He Wang wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
Song Mingjiao sighed in annoyance, "Teacher He seemed to be very familiar with me from the first time we met, but haven't we only known each other for a few days?"
"...Actually, it was when I was on the podium that day, and the camera was sweeping across the audience. Mingjiao, I saw you that day."
He Wang made up a half-truth. Song Mingjiao was wearing a mask in the audience that day. What He Wang remembered most was his eyes.
"Mingjiao, you went there for Mo Qinan that day, right?"
He Wang didn't think much of it at the time, but now thinking back, it was obviously him who received the award and received applause from the audience, but the person he fell in love with at first sight left for another person who was completely inferior to him, unknown, useless, and full of shortcomings.
It's really frustrating!
Song Mingjiao now just wondered why there were so many troubles with just the Star Sheep Award. Sure enough, the placement of the award at the beginning of this world was very particular. Wouldn't this cause trouble for him?
"Mo Qinan, he was considered an artist under my company before."
He Wang's ears have learned to automatically process and filter information.
Was it considered before?
Does that mean it doesn’t count now?
Does that mean that there is no one else around Song Mingjiao now?
"This is also my first time opening an entertainment company. My relationship with Mo Qinan is very common in the industry, right?"
Song Mingjiao avoided words such as "lover" and "couple", and simply summarized the relationship between the two, leaving unlimited room for imagination.
He was like a poor little dragon who was inexperienced, had a big bag of gold and silver treasures, and was cheated out of his money.
He doesn't look like the usual wealthy and paunchy sponsors in the entertainment industry, but more like a young master from a big family who has come out to experience life.
The "young master" wrinkled his nose, pouted slightly, and said with a hint of complaint in his tone, "Are all people in the entertainment industry so unreasonable? I spent a lot of money on him."
"Of course not!"
He Wang said without hesitation, of course there are good people, like him.
He Wang felt that Song Mingjiao probably turned his mistress into a couple, which was why some short-sighted guys were taking advantage of him.
Upon hearing this, Song Mingjiao immediately snapped out of his lost state and said excitedly, "I think so too! That's why I want to go play in the entertainment industry. No, I want to personally investigate someone."
"Teacher He, you will help me, right?"
Song Mingjiao looked very excited and moved closer to He Wang. Her long eyelashes blinked and her light-colored pupils were like gems, making it impossible to look away.
"Of course no problem." He Wang agreed, but later realized that he was wrong.
Isn't he creating more competition for himself?!
When Song Mingjiao saw He Wang nod, he felt as if his plan had succeeded. He smiled slyly and said, "Teacher He, you are so kind. I have never faced the camera before. Please take good care of me."
Song Mingjiao's soft fingertips fell on He Wang's arm, and she deliberately avoided his clothes, just in time for an intimate contact.
He Wang instantly forgot the hesitation and regret he had felt before, and the place on his arm where Song Mingjiao touched seemed to be hot.
Yes, that’s right, I just want to have some fun in the entertainment industry, what’s there to stop me?
*
On that day, Song Mingjiao naturally ate the sago pudding he had been longing for.
He lazily occupied the host's chaise longue and admired the scenery outside the window. Only then did he say goodbye reluctantly over the phone to his assistant.
After returning, Zhang Xuanzhan found out that the way Mr. Song dealt with the photo was to send it to He Wang's home.
Song Mingjiao was somewhat curious to find that his secretary was almost crumpling up the documents in his hands, but he considered himself a very considerate boss, so he did not ask any questions.
He was chatting with He Wang on the phone. Since adding each other's contact information that day, He Wang would find various topics from time to time to keep in touch with each other.
Song Mingjiao, in a rare moment of optimism, checked He Wang's social media feed. He Wang posted something almost every day, sometimes about freshly made pastries, sometimes photos of places he'd visited.
Is the life of a movie star so rich?
Song Mingjiao flipped through them one by one and gave thumbs up to all of them without hesitation.
[HW: I asked around, and I found out there's a variety show about to start filming that's inviting amateurs from various fields. Mingjiao, I think it's a good fit for you. What do you think?]
[MOON: Will Mr. He go?]
The other party paused for a long time, typing intermittently, but never sent it out.
Song Mingjiao yawned and waited boredly, and asked Zhang Xuanzhan to get him a cup of tea.
[HW: You, you want me to go on a variety show with you?]
Song Mingjiao replied very naturally:
[MOON: Of course, after all, I don’t know anyone else in the entertainment industry.]
[HW: But you don’t mind that trending topic last time?]
[MOON: But that's not just netizens' speculation. Is that important?]
[HW: You’re right, that’s not important.]
Song Mingjiao felt that He Wang seemed to have realized something, but he was not quite sure what it was.
He looked up at Zhang Xuanzhan and said, "He Wang said there's a variety show going on. Find an assistant to arrange it. Oh, and don't show up, lest he recognize you."
Zhang Xuanzhan took a deep breath, then agreed and started to make arrangements.
