The bald man in front of him seemed a little impatient when he saw that Shen Wenran didn't speak.
“I know, Miss Shen has been busy making a comeback recently.”
"Director Wang recently asked me to invest in a film. I plan to invest 50 million yuan and recommend a female artist as well."
The other party's meaning couldn't be clearer.
The story of real estate tycoons' love for luxury cars and beautiful women is commonplace in real life, and equally prevalent in novels.
Moreover, this is precisely the role of this real estate tycoon.
Wait, it seems we've gone off-topic again.
001: You've finally realized you've gone astray, and now it's gone way off track. Not only the male lead, but all the supporting characters are acting strangely too.
But 001 dared not utter a single word of this.
Soon, Shen Wenran got into the zone.
She lowered her eyes, her lips slightly upturned, but there was no hint of a smile in her eyes.
Just as she was about to speak, a figure appeared in front of her.
"Mr. Li, Miss Su has made an appointment with me tonight. I'm really sorry."
Shen Wenran looked toward the person who spoke and saw that the person blocking her way was He An.
To be honest, she was quite surprised that He An, who would eventually become Ye Nanxing's little fanboy in the book, would come out to help her.
Li Jiahao said impatiently, "I'm talking to Miss Su, who do you think you are? Go away."
After saying this, he reached out and pushed the thin Li Jiahao aside, then held up the roses.
"Miss Chen, these are words for you. Would you do me the honor of accepting them?"
Shen Wenran maintained his forced smile: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Li, as you can see, I have an appointment today."
His tone was polite, yet distant.
Meanwhile, Li Jiahao, the real estate tycoon, awkwardly held up the roses in his hand.
A crowd had already gathered around, whispering among themselves.
“I know Mr. Li. He’s a famous real estate tycoon in Yun City. I’d say he’s worth billions.”
"What kind of good luck does Shen Wenran have that even Mr. Li invited her to dinner?"
"Look, she won't even give him the time of day. How is Mr. Li any less than that lecherous old sugar daddy of hers who's over sixty?"
Li Jiahao had also heard that Shen Wenran's sugar daddy was a man in his fifties.
With the people around him fanning the flames, he felt even more embarrassed.
He no longer spoke in that humble and gentle tone, but rather with a hint of threat.
"Miss Chen, do you know the consequences of refusing me?"
“An artist once refused my invitation, but the next day, he came to me crying and begging me to come back.”
Judging from the other party's fierce appearance, it didn't seem like a lie.
Shen Wenran's gaze turned cold, and he laughed even louder.
"So, Mr. Li, you're thinking of... seducing me and then recommending me for the crew?"
Shen Wenran's direct remark caught Li Jiahao off guard.
He looked around; there were many celebrities and passersby among them.
At this moment, Shen Wenran continued unhurriedly, "If I don't comply, you'll have someone secretly deal with me, leaving me with no choice but to beg you. Isn't that right?"
Shen Wenran's aggressive tactics were unexpected by Li Jiahao.
But the more alluring a woman is, the more it ignites his desire to conquer her.
Therefore, Li Jiahao said, "That's right, that's exactly what I mean."
"Since you've already been ruined by other men anyway, why don't you play with me? You'll definitely get your share of the benefits."
Shen Wenran also sighed, saying that Li Jiahao was indeed foolish.
There were many people around, and he had the courage to admit it.
But perhaps it's precisely because they've done so many bad things that they've become accustomed to it.
As for the onlookers, apart from He An who tried to rush over but was held back by the bodyguards, the rest were all just watching the show.
After saying his piece, Li Jiahao looked smug, thinking his words were really cool.
Little did he know that Shen Wenran smiled and approached him, then slapped him across the face.
To be honest, she did practice a bit more when filming in order to defeat Ruoyi.
But the slap landed on Li Jiahao's chubby face and still made her hand hurt.
In an instant, Li Jiahao's pale and chubby face was slapped, leaving a handprint, and the roses in his hand scattered all over the ground.
"You bitch, how dare you hit me!"
"You lot, grab her and I'll kill you."
After delivering the slap, Shen Wenran glanced at the crowd.
—Damn it, where did that bastard go?
—Damn it, I wouldn't have dared to hit someone if I hadn't seen you nearby.
—Oh no, that jerk isn't really going to just leave me here, is he?
Seeing several bodyguards rushing towards her, Shen Wenran cursed and ran off in the other direction.
Just as she continued running, a car came hurtling towards her.
Then, with a sharp turn, they blocked the bodyguards who were chasing after them.
The car door opened, and a large hand scooped her into the car.
Still shaken, she caught a whiff of a familiar scent and looked up to meet Lu Jinghuai's gaze.
Lu Jinghuai's face remained as cold as ever.
When he saw her make eye contact with him, he slowly released his hand that was holding her waist.
Shen Wenran cursed under his breath.
Then, putting on a pitiful expression, she sobbed, "Honey, thank goodness you came in time, otherwise... otherwise that guy..."
She got into character instantly, crying with tears streaming down her face.
Finally, Lu Jinghuai spoke up: "Understood, leave this matter to me."
Shen Wenran: "???"
—This is insane! The paper-thin characters in this book have gone mad!
