It was all just a bunch of capitalists praising each other, but Li Dongyang wasn't really interested in this kind of banquet at all.
Although he had an invitation, for someone as insignificant as him, even if he went, he would be completely invisible.
Li Dongyang has a strong sense of self-awareness. In other words, he is just a toy in the hands of these capitalists, to be played with when they feel like it and put aside when they don't.
Unless one day I become extremely powerful.
Zhang Wenbing handed the invitation to Li Dongyang and patted him on the shoulder. I sensed from President Lin that he wanted to use this banquet to promote the short drama.
"I guess the reason I asked you to speed up the progress this time is because of this."
"Whatever the reason, this is the key for you to open a new door. Going out and seeing more things can't hurt."
"Don't worry, Lao Li and I will go too."
"You continue packing your things. The crew is already waiting downstairs. I won't keep you any longer."
After giving his instructions, Zhang Wenbing left the office.
On the bus, Cai Cai poked her head out and checked the time on her phone, wondering why the person hadn't arrived yet.
"Brother Hengsheng, I'll go upstairs and take a look."
Qu Hengsheng sat in the driver's seat, took a drag of his cigarette, then flicked the ash out the window and said unhurriedly, "Wait a little longer."
He ran into Director Zhang in the elevator when he went out just now. If I'm not mistaken, he must have been looking for Li Dongyang.
"We won't be short a few minutes."
"Okay! I'll leave him a message, and we'll wait for him at the main gate."
Just as Cai Cai was about to send a message to Li Dongyang, she saw a handsome figure walk out of the main gate.
Qu Hengsheng put a cigarette in his mouth, started the car, and gently pressed the accelerator to stop the car in front of Li Dongyang.
"Sorry I had something to do and came down late."
"It's alright, get in the car." As he spoke, the cigarette butt trembled up and down in Qu Hengsheng's mouth.
A wisp of smoke rose slowly.
I have to say, this "funny" move is actually kind of cool.
In the car, Cai Cai looked at Li Dongyang with a bitter face and said, "Brother Dongyang, I've broken up with my boyfriend."
"Hit a breakup?"
"When did you start dating?" Li Dongyang raised an eyebrow.
"Tangxin is completely ignoring me." Cai Cai looked aggrieved.
"I'm ignoring you?"
Based on Li Dongyang's understanding of Tang Xin, ignoring him meant she had absolutely no interest.
Since Tangxin has no interest in him at all, it means she doesn't like him.
"Brother Dongyang, could you help me invite Tangxin out for a meal?"
It's true that Cai Cai likes Tang Xin, but it's obvious to everyone that Tang Xin has absolutely no interest in Cai Cai.
Li Dongyang does have a good eye for things.
“You’re my brother, but Tangxin and I grew up together. I know her too well. The fact that she’s not replying to your messages means she’s not interested in you. You can’t force a relationship like this.”
"It's fine to just be friends."
He wasn't the type to force something on his childhood friend even if he knew she didn't like it; if she didn't like it, he would simply refuse on her behalf.
"Relationships are a matter of fate. It's normal that Tangxin doesn't want to start a new relationship after being hurt before, so I can't help you with this."
Cai Cai pursed her lips.
"I understand, Brother Dongyang. It seems I'm not very good yet."
"It's not that I'm not good enough, it's just that I don't feel it."
So Sugar Heart doesn't like it.
He's just meddling in things he doesn't understand.
I originally wanted to help her get out of the gloom as soon as possible, but it seems that I did more harm than good.
Li Dongyang has explained it so clearly; if you still don't understand, you're truly a fool.
"Oh, I see. I thought she was just busy with work."
“Brother, I’m not trying to discourage you, but Tangxin and I grew up together. She’s outstanding, sometimes as proud as a peacock, and she has high standards for finding a mate.”
"We can't change other people's minds, but we can change ourselves, can't we?"
"So, only by becoming strong can one become attractive, right?"
This was the only way Li Dongyang could comfort Cai Cai.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to find a better excuse.
Today, Cai Cai was different from usual. She had small black mushrooms on her head the whole way, and she looked gloomy.
This state continued until the filming set.
Fortunately, he managed to adjust in time during filming, otherwise he would have really looked down on this guy.
Around 11 a.m., Zhou Hao called Li Dongyang.
He only had one scene in the morning, which ended around 9 a.m. I was thinking of calling Li Dongyang to ask about it, but then I didn't. Li Dongyang should still be filming at this time, so I didn't call to contact him.
"How's it going on your end? Is it over?"
"There's one more match. Have you finished yours?" Li Dongyang asked.
"Yes, there's one more match."
"Okay, send me your location and I'll come find you."
Aren't you afraid your director will have a problem with it?
"He dares to have an opinion? My dad is the biggest investor in this movie. Do you think he dares?"
Li Dongyang had to give Zhou Hao a thumbs up; having a rich father really made him so arrogant.
"Okay, I'll get started right away. I'll send you the location."
After receiving Li Dongyang's location, Zhou Hao instructed his assistant, "If the director asks later, just say I went to see a very talented screenwriter."
"Okay, Brother Hao."
"Call me if anything happens."
Zhou Hao's assistant nodded. "Okay, Brother Hao."
The way Zhou Hao spoke at this moment was completely different from Li Dongyang's; he exuded an aura of dominance.
"Okay, Brother Hao."
The location Li Dongyang posted wasn't far; it was only a few minutes' walk away.
Although the weather in Wancheng in December is not very cold, there is still a slight chill in the air.
Before long, we arrived at the filming location of Li Dongyang's movie crew.
As luck would have it, I saw Li Dongyang walking out of the film set.
Zhou Hao chuckled, pulled his hands out of his pockets, and punched Li Dongyang in the chest with a wicked grin. "Good lad, not only did you manage to win over the school beauty before, but now you've even managed to win over the nation's goddess. Hurry up and pass on some of your experience to your buddy."
"Tell me honestly, is it because you're good in that area?"
These words amused Li Dongyang.
“There’s nothing we can do about it; it’s something we’re born with,” Li Dongyang said.
"This was born from its mother's womb."
Zhou Hao raised an eyebrow at these words, "Damn, I was just saying it casually, why are you being so high-profile?"
"There's nothing I can do, it's in my genes, how can I keep a low profile?"
"If I really keep a low profile, you'll say I'm faking it. Either way, I'll be criticized, so it's better to just admit it openly."
This wave of Versailles-style play left Zhou Hao speechless.
"Let's go eat. We're tired of eating the hotel cafeteria food every day. Let's change things up for lunch today."
"By the way, how did you manage to win Xia Nuan's heart?"
“Teach me some experience.”
"I've already told you, we're just friends, why won't you believe me?"
"Of course I don't believe you. You're walking around your living room in a bath towel and you're saying you're just friends?"
"Why haven't I met any female celebrities like that?"
