Chapter 175: The Guest Becomes the Host

"Ah?" Tom was startled, and his mind was immediately distracted by Su Yun's question. "I, I actually wanted to come to New York to try my luck and see if there is any opportunity to shoot a movie or TV series..."

"Looking at you, are you acting as a waiter or doing this part-time?" Su Yun asked again.

"It's just what you think..." People who come to New York to try their luck usually find a part-time job to make a living while waiting for their opportunity. This is the most common practice for "New York Drifters".

"Then why did you team up with your family to deceive me?" Su Yunsi didn't give him a chance to think about anything else.

"I, I just want to tell you after I succeed in the audition..." In fact, he almost wanted to wait until the movie he filmed was released and became a small hit before telling Su Yun. After all, he gave up on continuing his studies and came to New York to try his luck. Wasn't it because he wanted to enter the entertainment industry as soon as possible to improve himself so that he could be closer to Su Yun?

Unfortunately, I don’t know how long it will take to see the rewards here in New York. Since it is so rare to come across it, it is better to tell the truth.

Of course, he would not reveal the real reason why he wanted to catch up with you for the time being.

After giving Tom a stern lecture, telling him not to be shy and to be honest with his friends, Su Yun said with satisfaction, "I may start a new project later. Are you interested in joining me?"

"But this time I'm not guaranteed to be the main character, maybe just a cameo - but it can also add something to your resume."

Tom thought for a while and shook his head: "No, thanks."

Seeing his face full of the "I have to rely on myself" struggle, Su Yun threw up her hands: "Okay, but since you cheated me, I still have to punish you once."

This combination of the villain first complaining and then telling lies with his eyes open was enough to impress even a knowledgeable man like Zhuang Long.

"What's the punishment?" Poor Tom was completely confused by Su Yun. He carefully put the red wine on the table, looking a little bit at a loss.

"I need someone to pay for my dinner now." Su Yun said leisurely while flipping through the menu.

Hearing this, Tom subconsciously glanced at the dishes on the table: Fortunately, they are all medium-priced. If he advances this month's salary, he should be able to afford it...

Before Tom could breathe a sigh of relief, Su Yun had already called the waiter in charge of her private room. After a few instructions, he immediately added a few expensive signature dishes.

The total cost of Su Yun’s new signature dishes is exactly US$10,000.

It was exactly the same pay he received for playing the male lead in Su Yun's film "The Fault in Our Stars" - it was the first time Tom received this level of pay, and the film was very unforgettable, so he was reluctant to spend the money after receiving it.

That is why his parents opened an account for him and deposited the commemorative $10,000.

It was not until he made up his mind to come to New York to hang out that he brought the relevant certificates with him in case of emergency.

As dish after dish was served, Tom's aura became increasingly gloomy.

"Don't order so much. We probably can't finish it." As a young man who was also short of money, Bourne suddenly felt some sympathy for this enemy when he saw Tom's pitiful appearance.

"That's a good order." Compared to the confused Bourne, Zhuang Long, who once again saw the mystery, looked at Su Yun's new order and praised it with a smile.

Although he is only three years older than Bourne, perhaps because of his personality and experience, the 28-year-old Zhuang Long's worldly-wise yet unsophisticated attitude and the ability to hide his true inner thoughts make him look much more mature than the 25-year-old Bourne.

Besides being in the drama troupe, Zhuang Long would also occasionally find opportunities to play supporting roles in the film and television circles. Therefore, after experiencing the ways of the world, his every move and gesture exuded a mature and steady demeanor.

Compared to Bourne, who stayed in the troupe to hone his acting skills, he was relatively young in the troupe, so he always received subconscious care from the older members. So he still looked like a young man who had just left his adolescence and entered youth.

"Of course." Su Yun accepted Zhuang Long's compliment very naturally, and then put the menu on the table. "Tell me, who asked you to send the red wine?"

Seeing Tom's aggrieved expression, he almost turned into a crying cat emoticon. Su Yun took a look at his cat mouth which always looked a little pouting because the teeth correction was not completely completed, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"What?" Tom looked up suddenly.

"With your intelligence...and personality, you definitely can't think of such a harmful trick. Tell me, who asked you to send the wine over?" Su Yun took back the word that was about to come out of his mouth and asked again.

After learning from Tom that the person who asked him to deliver the wine was none other than Zha Lan, a guy who only wanted to create chaos in the world, Su Yun said "oh" meaningfully.

Not long after, there was a rapid knock on the door of box 222.

"Who?" Zha Lan came to the door upon hearing the voice.

"It's me!" Su Yun lowered her voice and answered at the door, then continued to explain, "Our box was found by reporters from Hong Kong, please let me go in and hide for a while!"

Zha Lan raised an eyebrow but did not open the door. Instead, she moved closer to the door - unfortunately, this private room did not have a peephole, so she could not see what was happening outside.

"It's true! Please let me in!" Su Yun's tone became more urgent.

“No matter whether this is true or false, if I let you in, isn’t it just like in the movie, I’ll become a ‘Leang’?” Suddenly remembering that Su Yun had always complained about his high pay, poor acting skills, and that he was too handsome and didn’t fit the setting in the movie, etc., Zha Lan, who always held a grudge, immediately clicked his tongue.

If it was false, then it must be a lie made up by Su Yun who wanted to get revenge on him; but if it was true... such an opportunity was rare, and the best thing would be to force Su Yun to personally admit that he was "Li Ang"!

"Don't be so suspicious, this is true and I will never lie to you! If you don't let me in, it will be very troublesome for me to return to Hong Kong..." It is not difficult to judge from the voice that came back again that Su Yun has obviously softened her attitude.

"In life, it's okay to be a bit romantic and happy occasionally." After casually replying with a sentence that she used to often use to fool the agent, Zha Lan's voice was full of laughter. "It seems that you are very troubled by the people around you. Do you need me, a senior, to teach you a few tricks?"

"Please!" Su Yun screamed, and then added a name in a very low voice, "Liang..."

After receiving Su Yun's response, Zha Lan was finally satisfied. Then she opened the door of the private room a little, and said, "Come in--"

Before he could finish his greeting, he was hit by the sudden impact from outside.

"Come in!" Su Yun changed her previous weak and begging attitude, and replaced it with a cold look of a revenge-seeking boss.

She turned around and waved to the back, signaling the three people behind her to follow in. Then she rushed to Zha Lan, who had just managed to stand firm after the collision, and started fighting.

The two men did not know each other at first. Zha Lan realized that he was most likely fooled, so he immediately fought back without giving in.

Ignoring the coming and going of the two people, Zhuang Long wandered around for a while and soon found the window where Zha Lan had been looking at the door before.

"Look, it must be this window that allowed him to see us coming into the restaurant from above." Zhuang Long greeted.

Su Yun, who was fighting fiercely with Zha Lan, took a look at him while trying to do two things at the same time, nodded to show that he understood, and then threw himself into the fight with the former marine Zha Lan again.

Seeing Su Yun indulged in fighting again, Zhuang Long shook his head in confusion, and then, according to the inside information Tom had told him, he began to look for the window corresponding to the back door opposite the main entrance.

Seeing that Su Yun was getting better and better at beating, Bourne, who also glanced at the window, thought about it, took two steps back, and very considerately closed the door of the private room with his backhand...

He is not someone who is easy to bully. Which young man in a band these days doesn't have a rebellious and vengeful temper?

This old man not only played a trick on them, but also brought him a rival of the same nature. Now he just stood by and watched instead of helping Su Yun beat him up. He had already done his best.

Seeing that Zha Lan was attracted by Bourne's little action, Su Yun picked up the marker on the table.

Zha Lan failed to beat her a few years ago. In the past few years, Zha Lan has been busy with her career and lacks training. In addition, the fighting knowledge she learned when she was a navy has become increasingly vague. On the contrary, Su Yun has not only continued to train in the system's small black room in the past few years, but has also created a feat of "dominant" the entire school...

And the most important point is that in addition to the increase and decrease of these external factors, Su Yun has grown to 1.68 meters.

Although there is still a gap in terms of body shape and gender strength, it is no longer a distant battle between children and adults as in the past, but a real evenly matched battle between adults.

Her extreme speed can greatly make up for her lack of strength.

After simply punching Zha Lan twice with his speed advantage, Su Yun picked up a pen and took advantage of Zha Lan's struggle and counterattack to draw three cat whiskers on his face, one on each side...

It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.

Su Yun quickly drew the cat whiskers and threw away the brush. Then, he followed Zhuang Long's call and found the back door and window. After Zhuang Long jumped down, he also jumped and grabbed the window sill.

"What are you doing?!" Seeing their actions, Zha Lan was shocked at first without caring about settling the score with Su Yun.

"It's true that the paparazzi from Hong Kong are chasing us, so we really need to run. Tom said that there's a window in your room that leads to the garden path at the back door." This is the second floor, and it's not very high. With their skills, as long as they are careful, they will be fine if they jump down... So Su Yun smiled, waved to Zha Lan, and jumped out.

When Su Yun disappeared from the window, Bourne also walked over quickly.

With his 1.79-meter height advantage, he didn't need to jump like Su Yun did. He just put his hands on the side of the window sill and stepped over.

The movements were so skillful that you could tell at a glance that he often disobeyed traffic rules and crossed the road across the fence...

For a moment, the only people in the box were Zha Lan with cat whiskers painted on her face and Tom, who was writing something with the pen that Su Yun had dropped.

"What are you doing? Why don't you run away?" Knowing that now was not the time to plan for Su Yun to escape and not forget to "repay" him with a counterattack, Zha Lan, who knew the urgency of the matter, shouted quickly.

Before he finished speaking, Tom stuffed the written paper into his hand and jumped over the window sill: "Mr. Delong, as you requested, the bill has been recorded in your account..."

Realizing that something was wrong, Zha Lan suddenly woke up, opened the bill in his hand and was immediately furious: in addition to the bottle of red wine he had deliberately ruined, the meal bill of more than 10,000 yuan in the next room was also charged to his bill by Tom, the New Jersey kid who was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!

So, don’t think that boys who fall in love are so silly and cute - once they get rid of the filters that reduce their intelligence for a specific object, the tricks they use secretly are so hard to guard against!
