Chapter 16 The Racetrack, Intense Gaze



Lin Yusheng recalled how, in his previous life, he had risen to the position of head of the Lu family, and many people secretly accused him of using illegal means…

She suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Can she afford to offend someone like Lu Zhengye?

"I'm going back now, goodnight." Lin Yusheng waved and left.

Lu Zhengye watched her figure disappear around the corner, then closed the door.

The next day, when Lin Yusheng arrived at the training room, she heard people talking inside.

"Xixi, you performed so well before, why don't you get a role in 'Jianghu Order'?"

Qiao Xi said, "President Lu and Sister Yu must have their reasons for doing this. Don't say it again."

"I'm just speaking up for you. I heard that the new girl is going to play Chu Yuexi in 'Jianghu Ling'. I think the company wants to promote her and then forget about you."

Qiao Xi said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"What nonsense! Don't tell me you didn't feel anything yourself. That Lin Yusheng, she looks like a vixen. Ever since she arrived, everyone has been trying to curry favor with her. Besides, she personally went into the president's office to sign the contract."

Lin Yusheng couldn't stand it anymore. She walked in with a cold face and said, "I have no grudge against you, so why are you trying to sow discord between us?"

Lin Yusheng's voice startled Qiao Xi so much that she dropped her notebook to the ground.

The person Qiao Xi was chatting with was Yao Yingqing. In the TV series "Floating Life Never Ends," Yao Yingqing played Qiao Xi's best friend, and the two had a good relationship.

Yao Yingqing was caught talking badly about someone, and she looked very guilty. She stood up straight with her hands on her hips and said, "What do you mean by sowing discord? You dare to say that you didn't use connections to get the audition opportunity for 'Jianghu Order'?"

"I'm leaving. I did get the audition opportunity through someone's introduction, but I won Director Fu's favor on my own."

Lin Yusheng's self-righteousness left Yao Yingqing speechless.

Qiao Xi saw that it was almost time and that someone would be arriving soon. Fearing things would escalate, she spoke up to smooth things over, "Yu Sheng, I'm sorry. Ying Qing was just standing up for me, and she said some harsh things for a moment."

Although Qiao Xi's tone was very polite, Lin Yusheng still felt inexplicably displeased.

"If you feel it's unfair to you, you can go and ask President Lu or Sister Yu for clarification. Don't listen to other people's side of the story and make wild guesses here. That will only make you suffer internally."

Qiao Xi's face paled, and she couldn't help but clench her fist, but quickly returned to normal.

She said, "I don't think it's unfair. Period dramas don't suit me. Most of the roles in 'Jianghu Ling' involve a lot of action scenes, and I'm not in good health either. I understand Mr. Lu and Sister Yu's arrangements."

"I don't care about these things." Lin Yusheng looked at Yao Yingqing. "Next time you talk bad about me, be careful. I have a bad temper."

Yao Yingqing looked resentful, but since she had started the trouble, she was in the wrong and couldn't refute a single word. She could only snort and go about her own business.

After this little incident, Lin Yusheng completely immersed herself in the role.

She attended company training every day and gradually got used to this schedule.

But the long hours of training made her go straight to bed as soon as she got home, washed up, and went to sleep, so she hardly ever saw Lu Zhengye.

Finally, on the eighth day after training, Gao Yu took pity on her and gave her a day off.

Lin Yusheng stayed at home until evening, but was eventually pulled out by a phone call from Shen Yishu.

Shen Yishu drove her cool red sports car to Lin Yusheng's building.

Lin Yusheng leaned against the door and joked with her, "Driving such a flashy car, which pretty boy are you planning to hook up with this time?"

"Do you think I'm that kind of person, your best friend?" Shen Yishu rolled her eyes without any politeness.

The two got into the car, and Lin Yusheng, sitting in the passenger seat, said, "Where are you taking me? Let me tell you, you have to get me home before midnight. I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, my future superstar."

As night fell, Lin Yusheng followed Shen Yishu to their destination.

The location was familiar; it was the largest racetrack in Lucheng.

Lin Yusheng and Shen Yishu often came here to watch race car drivers when they were in college because they thought the drivers were really handsome and charming.

However, after Shen Yishu personally crashed into the railing, they never came back.

Lin Yusheng: "Are you over your trauma? Planning to go up and have another round?"

Shen Yishu blinked. "I'm not going to play. Wen Shengyao said there's a big competition tonight and asked me to come. Guess why I insisted on asking you to come?"

Lin Yusheng pondered for a moment, and the answer became obvious.

"Could it be because Lu Zhengye is here too?"

"That's right, you really are my best friend, we're so in sync."

Lin Yusheng smiled and said, "Well done."

She was genuinely curious about Lu Zhengye.

The two entered the venue and went straight to find Wen Shengyao.

Wen Shengyao was the youngest son of the Wen family, with an older brother and an older sister. Because he was born late in life, his family doted on him and were very lenient with him.

Young Master Wen has been a frequent sight at almost every entertainment venue in Lucheng.

The three of them met in high school, and after some playful bickering, they've actually been friends ever since.

From a distance, Lin Yusheng saw a head of striking chestnut hair. Speechless, she said to Shen Yishu, "Why did Wen Shengyao change his hair color again?"

Shen Yishu chuckled. "He said he wanted to try all the colors while he was young."

"Then he has courage."

Wen Shengyao has a baby face and pretty features. Just looking at his face, you might think he's a pretty boy, but he's actually 1.83 meters tall.

Upon seeing Lin Yusheng, he became sarcastic, "Oh my, which noble young lady is this, daring to condescend to come to my territory?"

Lin Yusheng wasn't going to put up with him. She slapped him on the head. "Stop being sarcastic. I'm here now, aren't I?"

Wen Shengyao's arrogance vanished instantly. He covered his head, looking somewhat aggrieved, "You've never been here once since I bought this racetrack. This is the first time."

Since her rebirth, Lin Yusheng has been busy with plans and has indeed forgotten to get together with her good friends, for which she is in the wrong.

"I'm sorry, but I recently found a job and I'm very busy."

Wen Shengyao was surprised, "Go to work? What kind of work do you, Miss Lin, go to? To eat, drink, and sleep in your own company?"

Shen Yishu burst into laughter.

Lin Yusheng rolled her eyes. She hooked her arm around Wen Shengyao's neck, and because of the height difference, Wen Shengyao had to bend over.

Lin Yusheng said, word by word: "First of all, I'm not joining our own company, but Shenggan; secondly, my job isn't about eating, drinking, sleeping, or going to the bathroom, but about being an actress, a big star, understand?"

Lin Yusheng said the last three words with a smile, but they were full of warning.

Wen Shengyao had been beaten quite a bit since he met Lin Yusheng and Shen Yishu, so he hurriedly said, "I understand, I understand."

Lin Yusheng then released her hand with satisfaction.

She suddenly felt a strong gaze upon her, one that she couldn't ignore even if she wanted to.
