"Xu Lu, it's for you, it's Sister Mi on the phone!"
Reba, who was on the phone, handed the phone to Xu Lu after saying a few words.
At the same time, the girl looked rather happy, and it was unclear what she had said to Boss Yang on the phone earlier.
Besides, why are you two women suddenly bringing me into this on the phone?
Somewhat puzzled, Xu Lu took the phone and said listlessly:
"Hey, Mr. Yang, what's up now? I've already been to the overpass area, they don't need my help!"
Hearing his words, Mr. Yang, who had initially felt somewhat apologetic, was so angry that he almost forgot about it.
It took Mr. Yang a while to suppress his anger. He said on the other end of the phone:
"Xu Lu, about this... cough cough, I have to apologize to you, anyway..."
"Hey, didn't you say you were going to take on a role? Well, there's a movie in Shanghai..."
"Boss Yang, you're awesome! Okay, I'll forgive you this time!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu immediately perked up and agreed with a grin.
Mr. Yang, the boss opposite, paused for a moment, then said irritably:
"Who asked for your forgiveness? You're making it sound like I really owe you something. I was just saying that casually, don't take it seriously!"
"Women are always so two-faced!"
Xu Lu, with an air of 'I understand women's hearts,' said:
"Alright, boss, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. You can continue chatting with Reba!"
Xu Lu handed the phone to Reba, who was also smiling beside him, while he began to think.
That's right!
Boss Yang probably knew about the treatment Xu Lu received at the overpass, so he gave her compensation or some kind of benefit.
She got Xu Lu another role, which happened to be filmed in Shanghai.
What's even more surprising is that Xu Lu is going to audition for the lead role in this very drama!
Of course, this wasn't too surprising for Xu Lu, who is a skilled actor.
To his surprise:
"The movie is tentatively titled 'The Vanished Man,' and I'm auditioning for the role of the protagonist who is killed from the very beginning!"
Before Xu Lu transmigrated here, he had read a book called 'The Vanished Her'. The one who disappeared was the female lead!
The current installment is titled 'The Disappeared Him,' in which the gender has changed, but the plot is actually quite similar.
The story is about a man and a woman who fall in love at first sight, but the woman turns out to be a spendthrift who has accumulated huge gambling debts.
Of course, the "love at first sight" here is actually a plot secretly designed by the female lead to lure the male lead into a trap...
After marriage, the female protagonist squandered money time and time again. In the end, in order to obtain the male protagonist's wealth, she plotted to kill him.
After learning the news, the male protagonist's childhood friend, who was studying filmmaking, used his connections to stage a grand scheme and ultimately uncovered the real reason for his disappearance.
...
"Hey, Xu Lu, what did Boss Yang say to you? You seem pretty happy!"
Reba, unaware that Xu Lu was deep in thought, asked curiously after hanging up the phone with Boss Yang.
Xu Lu glanced at the girl and said:
"Did I act happy? You're the one who's happy, okay?"
"Really? Really? You must be seeing things!"
Of course, Dilraba wouldn't admit that she was happy to hear that Xu Lu would also be in Shanghai.
Xu Lu shook his head and casually said:
"Boss Yang got me a role in a movie. Although it was the lead role, it was a character who died as soon as he appeared on screen."
Forget about that for now. I'll call Director Chen later and ask him if I pass the audition first.
By the way, where are you staying tonight? I'll take you home first..."
"You're going back already? It's still so early. How about we go shopping a little longer, Xu Lu?"
Dilraba said with a reluctant expression.
"not good!"
Unfortunately, Xu Lu was unyielding and completely unmoved by any of the girls' temptations, uttering only two words with a blank expression.
Upon hearing those two words, Reba, who had been full of enthusiasm, immediately froze, muttering to herself:
"You stinky Xu Lu, you wicked Xu Lu! You have absolutely no sense of romance, you deserve to be single forever!"
...
After sending Dilraba back to the accommodation arranged by the production team, Xu Lu contacted Director Chen of the 'The Disappeared' drama crew that evening.
The next morning, he went to the film crew for an audition.
Xu Lu is naturally handsome and sunny, and his acting skills are impeccable.
So without any setbacks, his role was finalized that very day.
Moreover, because the "disappeared him" side was in a hurry, Xu Lu started working on set two days later.
On the other side, at the elevated highway in Shanghai.
In order to demonstrate his feng shui expertise, Master Zhou replaced the nine dragon pillars originally set by Master Wu with Pixiu pillars.
Mr. Liu expressed his opposition to this.
He believes that since Master Wu specifically mentioned making the Nine Dragon Pillars, there must be a deeper purpose behind it. Changing the carvings on the pillars now could lead to unpredictable consequences.
However, while Master Zhou might not be good at other things, he was certainly quick-witted when it came to traveling the world, and he made the person in charge, Mr. Li, nod repeatedly.
With Mr. Li's support, Master Zhou was even more daring and free to express himself.
After all, the more you do in this matter, the more benefits you will gain.
Master Zhou lived a life of poverty, and now that he has such a good opportunity in his old age, how could he possibly let it go?
No matter what, I have to earn back all my retirement savings for the rest of my life!
