Chapter 17 How about having a hot pot?
Luo Jiayin slept until 3 p.m., checked her phone, and saw no missed calls.
So she sent a message to Yu Jiu, who quickly replied to Luo Jiayin, saying that Sister Mei had not contacted her either.
Luo Jiayin then realized that Sister Mei must have known about what happened last night and wanted them to get some rest, so she didn't disturb them.
Luo Jiayin sat on the bed and stretched comfortably.
After washing up, she still took the initiative to call Sister Mei.
"Hey, Sister Mei."
"It's Luo Jia. How did you sleep? Why didn't you rest for a little longer?" Sister Mei asked with concern.
"It's already afternoon, I'm afraid you might not be able to find me if you need to."
"Hey, what could possibly happen to me? Nothing is more important than your health! You must have been exhausted yesterday. You and Yu Jiu don't need to come to the company today. Go get a massage or something tonight to relax. I'll talk to you about the work ahead tomorrow."
Luo Jiayin felt a warmth in her heart, and she felt even more that not leaving Jingting Entertainment at that time was indeed a wise choice.
Mr. Wang and Sister Mei truly treated her like a friend, unlike other companies that treat artists merely as tools for making money.
"Sister Mei, we don't need to relax. I remember that variety show called 'Hold On to the Villain's Script' is about to start filming, right?"
Luo Jiayin has always remembered this, after all, Gu Yishen is also going to participate in this variety show.
She still remembers how happy Yu Gu, the movie star, was when she first heard the news.
When Sister Mei heard Luo Jiayin ask about the show, she added, "The production team sent a message saying that filming will start the day after tomorrow. You guys get ready, and I'll give Yu Jiu a few more instructions tomorrow."
Luo Jiayin noticed that Sister Mei seemed genuinely relaxed this time, no longer in the same tense state she used to be before appearing on variety shows.
Suddenly, on a whim, she blurted out into the phone, "Hey, Sister Mei, what are your plans for tonight?"
Mei was taken aback by Luo Jiayin's question and glanced at the sticky note on the computer screen.
"Hmm... nothing much to do tonight."
"That's great!" Luo Jiayin cheered excitedly, while Sister Mei was completely bewildered.
"What's wrong... Luo Jia..."
Luo Jiayin realized that her reaction might have frightened Sister Mei, and quickly tried to explain.
"Sister Mei, I was thinking, Yu Jiu and I will go buy some ingredients later, and you can come over to my house after you get off work. How about we have hot pot together?"
As for Luo Jiayin, well...
In her own words, she is a serious food lover.
To put it bluntly, she's just a foodie.
This was one of the reasons why Luo Jiayin initially chose Jingting Entertainment, such a small company.
She heard that Jingting Entertainment treats its artists with extreme leniency and does not require artists to "manage their figures" like other companies do, and then restrict their food and drink.
Luo Jiayin feels that she is still in the stage of growing.
After all, as the old saying goes, "Man is made of iron, food is made of steel, and a strong youth makes a strong nation." A woman is a youth until death, after all.
When Sister Mei saw that Luo Jiayin had this idea, she smiled indulgently and agreed, saying that she would go directly to Luo Jiayin's place after get off work that evening.
Luo Jiayin thought Jingting was a good company, but what she didn't know was that she actually held a higher position in the hearts of everyone at Jingting Entertainment.
Needless to say, President Wang has always felt that since she decided to stay in Jingting, this girl has never forgotten her original aspirations and is a rare person with both ability and good character.
Luo Jiayin's composure in dealing with the unexpected situation of the sasaeng fan incident made President Wang transform from "President Wang" into "Luo Jiayin's devoted fan, Wang Gangan".
Mei Jie has been working as an agent for quite some time, and she has had the most contact with Jingting and Luo Jia.
Mei Jie has never seen an artist who, after becoming a sensation, can still speak to people politely, humbly, and without any airs in private.
Just like before, from the first day Sister Mei took over until now, Luo Jia has always addressed her with the formal "you" (您).
As for the other employees of Jingting Entertainment, their affection for Luo Jia was much simpler—after Luo Jia came, Jingting really did make money!
Jingting made money, and their wallets bulged along with it. Luo Jia is also kind and easy-going. You just can't love a celebrity like that!
...
The underground parking lot of Xingda Shopping Mall.
Gu Yishen stared expressionlessly at Lin Manxi, who was blocking his way and whom he had "coincidentally" "bumped into."
Feng Xu stood aside and watched, unable to do anything.
"Ms. Lin, it's really inconvenient for me to take you home. As you know, there are a lot of paparazzi following me."
"Brother Shen~ We're both artists at Sega, so even if you don't want to call me Manxi to avoid any awkwardness, you can still call me Junior Sister~"
Lin Manxi looked at Gu Yishen with some anticipation as she spoke, but Gu Yishen was quite uncooperative and didn't say another word.
"Brother Shen, I really did lose my car keys. Don't worry, I'll be extra careful and won't let anyone know that you gave them to me!"
Gu Yishen remained silent. Feng Xu's eyes widened upon hearing Lin Manxi's words, and he was internally ranting.
"You? Give me a break! You'd probably love to have the whole world's media expose your 'late-night rendezvous' with Brother Shen! You think you can be careful and guarded?"
Feng Xu was practically rolling his eyes to the heavens, but he still didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Lin Manxi.
Although he was Gu Yishen's assistant, as Gu Yishen rose to prominence, the status of those around him also rose accordingly.
However, no matter how high his rank, he still had to be polite to Lin Manxi, a newcomer whom Sega was heavily promoting.
After all, she's President Lin's own daughter!
Moreover, as soon as she arrived at Sega, she told Gu Yishen that she entered the entertainment industry entirely for Gu Yishen.
"I'm sorry, I have an appointment with a friend today, so it's really inconvenient for me to take you."
Gu Yishen felt that he had already said all that, and if Lin Manxi had any sense, she wouldn't insist anymore.
As it turned out, he underestimated his own personal charm.
Upon hearing that Gu Yishen had made an appointment, Lin Manxi became even more relentless.
As everyone knows, Gu Yishen has a personality that keeps strangers at bay. Not to mention those in the entertainment industry, he doesn't even have many male friends outside of it. So who could he be meeting so late at night?
Lin Manxi glanced at her watch with feigned helplessness, then exclaimed anxiously, "Oh no!"
"Brother Shen, I had an appointment with a producer tonight to discuss a collaboration, and if I don't get back in time, I'll really be late! Could you please help me out and give me a ride? It definitely won't interfere with your meeting with your friend."
