Jiang Yue took the photo and was slightly taken aback when she saw the man's face.
For some reason, this person gave her a sense of déjà vu, but Jiang Yue was certain that she had never seen this man before.
How did you find this person?
Jiang Yue returned the photo to Lu Yan and then asked a question.
"I ran into him by chance yesterday when I was talking to someone about sponsorship."
As Lu Yan spoke, he asked Jiang Yue with anticipation, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of this man?"
Is it suitable or not?
The entire production team is now ready, except for the male lead.
"I asked around and found out that the man's name is Pei Huai. Although he is not a professionally trained actor, I heard that he used to act in plays when he was in school."
I believe she has some acting skills to her name.
Pei Huai?
Jiang Yue thought about the man's appearance in the photo and nodded.
“His image is indeed quite suitable; if he's willing, you can sign him.”
They couldn't afford to hire currently famous actors, so they had to find newcomers. Moreover, Jiang Yue preferred to promote newcomers rather than veteran actors.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan's expectant expression instantly fell. "Sister-in-law, I came to see you just for this matter."
After meeting this person yesterday, I asked around about him and then went to find him. He owns several restaurants in Kyoto and I heard he also has a company, so he's not short of money.
I explained my purpose to him, but he said he wasn't interested in acting in TV dramas. However, he was willing to sign a contract with us, but on one condition..."
"What are the conditions?"
Jiang Yue asked as she and Lu Yan walked downstairs.
Lu Yan glanced at Jiang Yue discreetly, then said, "This Pei Huai says he wants to see you and wants you to go and talk to him in person."
"See me?"
Jiang Yue stopped and looked at Lu Yan. "Does he know me?"
Lu Yan nodded, "This Pei Huai has some connection with our family. He saw you when you went to pay your respects during the New Year."
"Didn't he say what he wanted to see me for?" Jiang Yue frowned even more. "If it's about the pay, you can talk to him about it. It's not like you can't make the decision."
If it's a filming issue, then there's even less reason to contact me. I won't go to the set, and I won't have any interaction with him.
“It has nothing to do with this drama,” Lu Yan explained. “This Pei Huai used to be a soldier, but he retired later.”
When he retired, he adopted the son of one of his comrades. The boy had suffered a traumatic childhood experience, becoming not only autistic but also suffering from anorexia; he was as thin as a bamboo pole, and it was said that his appearance was frightening.
"But during the New Year, someone went to Pei Huai's house to pay a visit and brought a cup of milk tea. When they saw Pei Huai's son, they gave it to him. Unexpectedly, the little guy drank the milk tea without spitting it out. From then on, Pei Huai went to buy him milk tea every day."
"Later, he found out that the milk tea was made by you, sister-in-law, so he wanted to ask you to try making some food for his son to try and see if it would be like the milk tea, so that he wouldn't spit it out."
At this point, Lu Yan glanced downstairs quietly to make sure that Madam Lu and Father Lu were not there before continuing to whisper to Jiang Yue, "Sister-in-law, Pei Huai said that he found out two months ago that you owned the milk tea shop. He came to see you, but because you are pregnant now, Uncle San refused him."
Lu's father also knew about Pei Huai's son, and he felt sorry for him.
However, Jiang Yue is heavily pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to cook for herself. How could Lu's father bear to let Jiang Yue take care of a child with anorexia?
What if something goes wrong?
So they rejected it.
"I see?"
As Jiang Yue walked downstairs, the nanny immediately poured her a glass of warm water and brought it to her.
Mr. Lu went to work, and Mrs. Lu went to the milk tea shop; neither of them were home at the moment.
After Jiang Yue finished drinking the water, she thought for a moment and said to Lu Yan, "I can go see this Pei Huai, but you can't let Uncle San know."
Her father had already refused on her behalf. If he knew she had gone to see Pei Huai again, he would definitely be angry.
"clear."
Upon hearing that Jiang Yue could see Pei Huai, Lu Yan immediately nodded earnestly, "I promise I won't tell anyone."
"Go and arrange a time with him, I need to eat breakfast."
Jiang Yue gets up late, so she also eats breakfast late.
Lu Yan had already eaten breakfast, and upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, he immediately ran to contact Pei Huai.
An hour later, Lu Yan drove back.
“Sister-in-law, Pei Huai said he has time anytime. If it’s convenient for you, he would like to see you right now because his son’s condition is not good recently. The doctor said he can’t eat anything and may not be able to hold on for much longer.”
Upon hearing that the child's condition was not good, Jiang Yue did not hesitate and said directly to Lu Yan, "Go upstairs and bring my bag down. Let's go now."
Jiang Yue now lends a helping hand to anyone she can in order to do good deeds. No matter the outcome, she has done her best and will have no regrets.
Lu Yan helped Jiang Yue with her bag, and then drove her to the Kyoto Grand Hotel.
This is the most luxurious and largest hotel in Kyoto.
As soon as their car stopped, Jiang Yue saw Pei Huai standing at the hotel entrance.
Pei Huai was very tall, almost 1.9 meters. His well-tailored dark suit accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, making him a perfect figure. Paired with his sharp and resolute handsome face, he was so good-looking that it was hard to look away.
He stood to the left of the hotel entrance, a cigarette between his fingers, listening intently to what the people around him were saying. His handsome brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was not good.
Jiang Yue saw that he quickly raised his hand to interrupt the other person, then gave a mocking sneer, said something to the person, and waved his hand to let the person go.
No wonder Lu Yan wanted him to be the male lead in the TV series; he was indeed the most suitable person Jiang Yue had met in recent times.
Lu Yan had already parked the car. He opened the door and called to Pei Huai, "President Pei, I've brought my sister-in-law to you."
Upon hearing Lu Yan's voice, Pei Huai, who was standing by the flower bed, immediately turned to look at him. Just then, Jiang Yue opened the car door and got out of the car.
Upon seeing Jiang Yue's protruding belly, Pei Huai immediately stubbed out his cigarette, threw it into a nearby trash can, and then walked towards Jiang Yue.
He looked at Jiang Yue, his face completely devoid of the indifference and sarcasm he had shown to others, replaced by restraint and even a hint of nervousness.
"President Jiang, I'm so sorry to invite you here in this way."
Upon reaching Jiang Yue, Pei Huai sincerely apologized to her, his deep, magnetic voice as melodious as a cello.
"Lu Yan has already told me everything."
Jiang Yue smiled politely at him, "I can understand President Pei's feelings of heartache for the child, but I only know how to make a few kinds of milk tea, and my cooking skills are actually just average."
"I'm not sure I can be of any help to President Pei."
