The girl's skin was as white as jade, clean and flawless, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright. When they fell into everyone's sight, people's attention was first attracted by her beauty and clarity, and then they paid attention to the emotions in her eyes.

In the eyes of everyone, what was considered "such a good opportunity" and "such a reasonable step" did not cause the slightest ripple. There was no "rejoicing" or "joy" at all. It was still as calm as a cold lake.

Sheng Yuan didn't say anything.

When the people sitting at the tables around her saw her like this, their expressions froze.

What’s going on with this Sheng Yuan?

This was clearly a good opportunity to talk to Teacher Xu Lizhi. She didn't even have to figure it out herself, as Teacher Ling Lan had already found the words for her.

What on earth is going on in her mind?

Do you really want to offend Xu Lizhi? That would be bad news. This is a bit confusing.

Even a few young male actors who didn't know the truth couldn't help but start to worry about the big boss. They were a little anxious and prayed frantically for him in their hearts.

Sheng Yuan's attitude was considered normal by Chen Liu and Xia Xicheng who were present.

Young Master Xia, who was eating and playing games with his hands free, sneered, not hiding it, and the noise was quite loud -

A bunch of idiots.

…

The atmosphere became tense again.

Ling Lan, however, looked like she wanted to try harder and try to help the younger generation. She turned to look at the man in dark blue sportswear beside her and said in a gentle voice, "Brother, what do you think?"

What she asked was what she thought of the proposal she had just made.

It is also a disguised way of helping Sheng Yuan. If Xu Lizhi personally agrees to do so, then the steps can be made smoother and easier to walk on.

Everyone understood again and admired teacher Hua Linglan, who was so good at speaking.

…

In fact, Ling Lan didn't dare to control Xu Lizhi. With the previous lesson, she naturally acted cautiously and didn't dare to act recklessly again.

But that doesn't stop her from having some necessary and harmless little tricks.

Ling Lan is indeed very smart. No matter how the situation develops, she can always consider it first to ensure that she will not be affected or suffer any loss. On the contrary, she can gain a good reputation.

The main reason was that this morning, she noticed that Xu Lizhi's eyes lingered on Sheng Yuan many times. This behavior was too abnormal for a cold man like Xu Lizhi.

It was hard to tell whether it was curiosity or some other emotion, but in short, it was a feeling of discomfort that was gnawing at her like an ant, making Ling Lan very uncomfortable.

So, when she was looking for a seat just now, she deliberately walked towards Sheng Yuan. After sitting down successfully, she chose the right time and said something like this.

With a tentative mind.

Test Xu Lizhi.

She really wanted to find out Xu Lizhi's attitude towards Sheng Yuan. No, to be more precise, she wanted to confirm a fact - Xu Lizhi actually had nothing special to do with Sheng Yuan. However, like her, he received the same consistent indifference. Maybe even worse than her. The two times he looked at Sheng Yuan and his eyes stayed on her were just coincidences.

After Ling Lan asked this question, Xu Lizhi also did not speak, as if he did not hear it. He ate his meal with a very cold expression on his face.

Everyone saw this and thought to themselves that it would be really difficult for Sheng Yuan to back down from this situation.

However, although there was no sign of error on Ling Lan's face, her hand holding the spoon tightened unconsciously, and her knuckles turned a little white.

Xu Lizhi indeed did not speak to her or respond.

But--

He didn't refuse...

What kind of person is Xu Lizhi? Yes is yes, no is no, it is black or white. When he is determined, he will directly refuse and will not give anyone a glimmer of hope.

However, he did not refuse Sheng Yuan's suggestion to discuss the script with him. Not refusing meant that there was hope...

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to act out the play, so he looked at Sheng Yuan again, trying his best to maintain a gentle voice and forced a smile: "It's okay, Senior Brother is very professional, I learned a lot from him."

This time, Sheng Yuan spoke.

A sweet voice, with a lazy tone, asked: "Is this what you wanted to say?"

Ling Lan nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart——

Xu Lizhi did not refuse, and if Sheng Yuan really took the step that he had personally given her...

It feels like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice.

Ling Lan's nails knocked against the metal spoon handle, and they were slightly bent.

However, it turned out that her worries were a bit unnecessary.

Sheng Yuan curled her lips indifferently: "No need."

No need—

Acting opposite Xu Lizhi.

There's really no need for that.

The girl said this lightly, but her whole attitude clearly showed that she really had no interest in this.

Xu Lizhi did not refuse, she rejected it directly, and throughout the whole process, from beginning to end, she did not even look at Xu Lizhi, not even once.

Completely ignored.

There was a slight uproar around them, which subsided, but everyone was still shocked and couldn't help but look at the girl, looking her up and down.

After Sheng Yuan finished speaking, she turned around slowly and sat back in her seat. She had already finished her lunch. Judging from the cleanliness of her lunch box, she had indeed eaten very seriously and attentively, and was not picky at all.

Several young male actors at the table were watching, and suddenly, they reacted a little slowly.

The boss's attitude really doesn't matter.

All the previous speculations and guesses, such as that she was afraid of Xu Lizhi, that she was on pins and needles, that she hated Xu Lizhi, etc., were all just their own imaginations.

It's totally like judging a gentleman by one's own meanness...

About her deliberate lack of greeting——

Tsk.

The boss didn't deliberately ignore Teacher Xu Lizhi after seeing her, but she didn't even care whether he came over or not.

Just now they greeted Sheng Yuan, and the girl was really not aloof at all, nor did she put on airs. She responded to everyone's questions one by one, with politeness and manners in her indifference.

However, Xu Lizhi, who was treated with great care and was the center of attention by everyone, was as ordinary as a passerby in front of Sheng Yuan.

Since he is just a passerby, why is it necessary to pay attention to him?

Wow, that's really reasonable and logical.

…

No one noticed that Xu Lizhi paused, and then quickly returned to normal, so fast that it was unpredictable.

At this moment, the black-framed phone on the table rang.

It’s Sheng Yuan’s cell phone.
