After Shu Mei and Yun Liuyu had their meal and rested for a while, they took a car to the airport.
On the way to the airport, Shu Mei pretended to casually inquire about many private matters about Yun Liuyu. She not only got Yun Liuyu's private mobile phone number, but also knew where Yun Liuyu currently lived.
After all, after the filming of "Beauty Harem", it will not be so convenient to contact the heroine. The contact information she has obtained at this moment will come in handy sooner or later when she wants to contact the heroine in the future.
After Yun Liuyu sent Shu Mei to the airport, he did not stay for long and took a car back to the crew. His back figure left no trace of clouds, which made Shu Mei angry and annoyed.
Shu Mei returned to City A in a somewhat depressed mood. As soon as she turned on her phone, she received a call from Meng Tiangang. He said with a smile, "My daughter, you are finally back. By the way, I have sent a car to pick you up. You will go home directly in a while. I have prepared a surprise for you."
Before Shu Mei had the chance to ask what the surprise was, Meng Tiangang hung up the phone in a hurry. Shu Mei tilted his head and thought about it, feeling both amused and helpless. According to Meng Tiangang's personality, the so-called surprise should most likely be something like a banquet.
Because the supporting actress Meng Shumei has loved lively occasions and holding parties since she was a child, and Meng Tiangang, who has always doted on his daughter, naturally knows his daughter's preferences, and the surprises he arranged also suit Meng Shumei's wishes.
Meng Shumei went to pick up his luggage. As soon as he walked out of the airport, he saw a row of luxury cars. In the middle was an extended version of Rolls-Royce. Many people at the airport had their eyes on that row of cars.
Shu Mei curled his lips and walked over. When he opened the car door, he saw an elegant middle-aged man sitting inside. Shu Mei was very familiar with this man because he was the Meng family's butler Li Yunsheng. He grew up in the Meng family since he was a child and took care of Meng Shumei and Meng Shulin, two younger generations of the Meng family, and he loved Meng Shumei very much.
Shu Mei greeted him warmly and asked with a pout, "Uncle Yunsheng, Dad said he would have a surprise for me later. What do you think it would be?"
Li Yunsheng just smiled and said nothing.
Shu Mei pouted even deeper. She was actually not interested in the banquet. There were only a few people who could be invited to the banquet, namely the relatives of the Meng family and the uncles in the company.
However, Shu Mei thought of his third task, which was to help the heroine become the chairman of Tianyu Entertainment Company.
In the later part of the plot, the heroine also had open and covert struggles with several other directors of Tianyu Entertainment Company. In the past, Shu Mei didn't care about business matters and was a real young lady who was ignorant of the world, so she didn't know much about those people. However, in order to help the heroine and pave the way for her in the future, it would not be a bad idea for her to take this opportunity to get to know these people.
Shu Lu was mentally prepared. When he returned to Meng's house, he saw the top-notch luxurious banquet at a glance. Shu Lu thought to himself that as expected, when Meng Tiangang came over, he still pretended to be surprised. After being hugged and kneaded by Meng's mother, he was taken by Meng Shulin to meet other uncles.
Shu Mei greeted them all with a smile, but paid more attention to one of them, a man named Yang Ye, because he had the second largest share in Tianyu Entertainment Company. He was also one of the founding members who had accompanied Meng Tiangang to start the company. He had a high status and his children were all very successful. He had always been dissatisfied with his position. He thought some of the policies proposed in the past were good, but the final decision-making power was not in his hands. It was okay in the short term, but he had been living like this for more than 20 years, and he couldn't help feeling dissatisfied.
In the plot, he arranged a car accident that caused Meng's mother to die, and Meng Tiangang was injured and paralyzed. The burden of the company fell on Meng Shulin. Yang Ye comforted Meng Shulin and his sister on the surface, but turned around and arranged for someone to kidnap Meng Shulin. If the heroine Yun Liuyu had not felt something was wrong, called the police and searched in person, Meng Shulin would probably have been dealt with by Yang Ye.
It can be said that Yang Ye is the villain boss of this world.
Shu Mei "exchanged" with Yang Ye with a smile. Yang Ye and Meng Tiangang were the same age. They had a very good relationship when they first started their business. Moreover, compared with Meng Tiangang's gangster rich second generation, Yang Ye, an elite talent who had attended university and studied abroad, left a better impression on everyone in the company.
Even though both of them are in their early fifties, Yang Ye looks to be in his thirties. Meng Tiangang, on the other hand, had too much fun in his early years, so he is short and stocky, and his hair is all gray, but he is too lazy to take care of it.
If an outsider who is not aware of the situation sees these two people, he will definitely mistake them for the chairman.
Shu Mei patiently listened to Yang Ye's concern for her. Not only that, Yang Ye also introduced his two unmarried sons to her. His attentive attitude made Shu Mei feel uncomfortable all over.
Fortunately, Meng Tiangang came to rescue her. He pulled her aside with a smile, then changed his expression to a vicious one, saying, "Don't get involved with the son of Yang Ye's family. They are all powerful young men from wealthy families and social elites. I don't know how many calculations they have in their minds. Don't let yourself be sold out and help them count the money, you confused guy."
Shu Mei pouted to show her opposition on the surface, but she was grateful to Meng Tiangang in her heart. The people of the Yang family were too calculating. But there was no need to be afraid of them, because the heroine would deal with all of them.
The banquet lasted until after three in the morning, and Shu Mei, the host of the banquet, couldn't stand it any longer and went back to sleep.
She spent some leisurely days at home, and spent most of her time following Yun Liuyu's updates, such as her official Weibo and official Tieba. She saw that Yun Liuyu became famous after her first TV series, and the following TV series also made her completely popular. She had at least tens of millions of followers on Weibo, and was considered a celebrity. But after that, Yun Liuyu took on a movie and got rid of her vase image, and became truly famous.
Shu Mei didn't have much vacation time to begin with. After her peaceful days, it was time for college to start. Shu Mei applied to a local university, which was not very close to her home. It would take more than two hours to get there by car if there was no traffic jam. Shu Mei naturally didn't want to live at home and run around every day, so she rented an apartment outside the school and moved in when school was about to start.
The time at school passed quickly, and Shu Mei attended classes obediently. At the end of October, the TV series she was filming, "Beauty in the Harem", was officially wrapped up. The director arranged a wrap-up party in City A and specially invited Shu Mei to attend. Shu Mei was worried about the assignment, as she hadn't seen the heroine for some time, and there had been no progress on the assignment. Going to the wrap-up party was a perfect opportunity.
Shu Mei immediately agreed and even helped the director book a private room in the International Hotel. On the afternoon of the banquet day, Shu Mei went to the banquet wearing a princess dress. She was greeted with a warm welcome from the crew. Shu Mei barely coped with them but her eyes scanned the entire private room and finally found Yun Liuyu in a corner.
Shu Mei no longer cared about anyone else and quickly lifted her skirt and sat down next to Yun Liuyu.
"Sister Yun, long time no see, I missed you so much."
Yun Liuyu looked up at her with a faint smile on her face. She looked even more arrogant than a few months ago. She said, "Shu Mei, long time no see."
Shu Mei sat down next to Yun Liuyu with some hesitation. Seeing that everyone else had turned around and was doing their own things, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Sister Yun, how have you been doing on the set during this time?"
Yun Liuyu lazily leaned on the sofa and said, "That's it. How about you? Have you adapted to life after school starts?"
Shu Mei was flattered to hear the other party's concerned tone, and raised his head and said happily: "Well, it's not bad, just very boring. By the way, Sister Yun, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to film a new TV series?"
Yun Liuyu shook his head and said, "I have taken on two movies and will be very busy later."
Shu Mei already knew about Yun Liuyu's plan, but still felt uncomfortable after hearing it. According to the plot, it would take at least two years for the heroine to truly become a national film queen, which meant she had to wait another two years.
Shu Mei lowered his head in frustration and said lazily, "Congratulations."
The two of them were silent, but fortunately a familiar voice interrupted and said, "Miss Meng, would you like some cold drinks?"
Shu Mei looked in the direction of the voice and saw the actress who played the heroine Liu Cairen in the drama "Beauty in the Harem", who was also a well-known actress and was said to be having an affair with Meng Shulin.
Shu Mei looked at the full plate of food not far away. The banquet was a buffet, and everyone could choose what food they liked.
Shu Mei thanked "Liu Cairen". She was really hungry, so she pulled Yun Liuyu to the self-service area.
She took the plate and first selected a 90% rare steak, then added orange juice, yogurt, pudding, pumpkin, ice cream, and finally just the right amount of sweet bean sauce before she walked over to an empty table and sat down.
Yun Liuyu was slow in selecting dishes and came over only after Shu Mei started eating. Shu Mei thought she had picked a lot, but he didn't expect that there was only a piece of cake on her plate, nothing else.
Shu Mei thought to himself: This person eats very little, but it seems that actors generally eat less, and there are very few who are as unscrupulous and eat as much as she is.
Shu Mei was so focused on eating that she didn't notice the strange expression on Yun Liuyu's face. She opened her mouth and asked after a while, "Your taste... is very special."
Hearing this, Shu Mei glanced at his plate and muttered, "I like to eat it this way because it's sour, sweet, and icy. It tastes good."
Yun Liuyu did not speak again. Everyone in the audience watched Shu Mei eat in silence. After watching Shu Mei finish a plate of meat, she ordered a plate of seafood and started eating. She first picked out all the meat from the oysters and snails, and put them into a small plate. Then she added orange juice, yogurt, pudding, pumpkin, and ice cream ingredients as before, stirred them evenly, and started eating in small bites.
Someone in the crew noticed what was happening here, and after seeing the dark food on Shu Mei's plate, they all turned their heads away stiffly.
Shu Mei herself was unaware that she always liked to mix things up. When she cooked, whether it was stir-frying or boiling, she liked to add pumpkin or sweet potato. Even when she cooked noodles, she would add something sweet, such as sugar or cream. She thought it tasted good, but many people couldn't eat it just by looking at it.
As Shu Mei happily ate, Yun Liuyu narrowed her eyes meaningfully, with a determined light in her eyes. After Shu Mei was finally full, she asked, "Shu Mei, where do you live now?"
"Well...why are you asking this?"
Yun Liuyu supported his chin with one hand and used the other hand to push the cream off the cake and put it aside, then handed it to Shu Mei.
Shu Mei quickly took it with a smile. She liked the bread in the cake, but she didn't like cream, so every time she ate cake, she would put a small piece of cream aside, then scoop out the bread with a spoon and eat it, leaving only a cream shell.
Yun Liuyu was very considerate and spread the cream thoroughly, saving Shu Mei a lot of trouble. She happily ate it and said, "I live in an apartment across from the school. I live alone. If you have time, you can come and see me."
Yun Liuyu said, "I heard that your school is in Chaoyun District, and my apartment is also there. You are a celebrity now, and it is not safe to live alone. Would you consider living with me?"
