Chapter 73 Extra 1: IF Scenario Jiang Shunian Didn't Escape: Can I hide here for a while, please?
Jiang Shunian received a call from his agent, asking him to attend a dinner party that evening.
His agent gave him a stern warning: "Jiang Shunian, you'd better give me a good performance tonight. This big shot has top-notch resources in the industry. He values your performance in 'The Regret of Lin'an' and specifically wants to see you. If you perform well tonight, he'll give you the lead role in your next film!"
“Brother Zhang, I only have a little popularity right now, and I don’t have the ability to carry a drama yet. I’m not really suitable to take on leading roles, am I?” Jiang Shunian frowned, subtly indicating his refusal.
He started acting when he was a sophomore in college. At first, he played minor supporting roles with only a few lines. Later, he was fortunate enough to play the role of Zuo Qingheng in the big production "The Regret of Lin'an". His role was actually very small, with only one highlight in the last episode. That was when the dynasty collapsed and the country was destroyed, he jumped into the river with the young emperor in his arms, fulfilling the reputation of "the king dies for the country".
This scene went viral after it aired, and he became popular with many people. His Weibo followers grew rapidly, and sometimes he felt like he was dreaming.
However, Jiang Shunian was very self-aware, knowing that his recent minor success was mainly due to the excellent production of the TV series, the solid script, and the outstanding character design, rather than his truly outstanding acting skills.
Therefore, he needs to focus on honing his acting skills, working on more film sets to hone his craft, and gradually take on leading roles again.
He's only twenty-two, there's no rush.
Unexpectedly, the agent said, "Do you want to play supporting roles for the rest of your life? There are countless actors now, but only a few good scripts. You have the luck to become famous, yet you still want to push yourself away? I've never seen anyone like you. Don't worry, I'll go with you tonight."
Hearing his agent say that, Jiang Shunian had no choice but to agree.
As evening approached and the sky was ablaze with color, his agent, Zhang Yuan, drove over to pick him up. Although Jiang Shunian was dressed simply, his face was so striking that even inexpensive clothes looked like they were custom-made for him.
Zhang Yuan looked it over and smiled with satisfaction.
Once tonight is over, the resources promised by the big boss will be in our hands. As for Jiang Shunian, he never intended to renew his contract anyway, so he won't lose out.
Moreover, the big shot would give him things privately.
Just thinking about it makes me smile.
The traffic was heavy during the evening rush hour, causing some congestion, but the manager, who usually had a tendency to get road rage, was in an unusually good mood. Jiang Shunian found this strange, but since his relationship with Zhang Yuan had never been particularly close, he didn't ask.
The private club was built as luxuriously as a palace, leaving Jiang Shunian stunned.
"This place is the most upscale club in S City. If you win Best Actor or Best Actress awards in the future, coming here will be as easy as eating and drinking."
Zhang Yuan drove his electric car, worth around 100,000 yuan, to a parking space. Jiang Shunian opened the car door and got out. Zhang Yuan was a step behind. Just as he opened the car door, the doorman came over and chased him away: "Sorry, sir, ride-hailing cars are not allowed to park here."
Zhang Yuan's face turned green. Jiang Shunian lowered his head to suppress his laughter, but he really couldn't hold it in, and his shoulders trembled.
"You're looking down on me! I have a reservation!" Zhang Yuan said angrily. "In the Tianxi private room."
The doorman turned pale upon hearing this and quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, sir, it's all my fault. Please don't hold it against me."
The Tianxi VIP room is the club's number one VIP room, and it is not easily opened to the public. No one dares to lie about it, which is why the doorman was so apprehensive when he heard the name Tianxi.
Zhang Yuan was so angry he wanted to complain about him, but it was better to avoid trouble at the moment. The big boss was about to arrive, so he could only suppress his anger: "Alright, alright, lead the way."
Jiang Shunian couldn't help but laugh whenever she thought about it. She followed Zhang Yuan closely, and once they entered the private room, she was once again shocked by its level of luxury. To put it simply, the tabletops were inlaid with gold and jade, the chairs were made of rosewood, and the cushions were made of Suzhou embroidery.
Jiang Shunian was hesitant to sit down.
They didn't have to wait long before the door was pushed open by a pretty young hostess. Leading the way in was a middle-aged man in his forties, followed by a well-known director and screenwriter, as well as two assistants.
This man's appearance was only average, and his figure was out of shape, with a particularly prominent belly, making him look like a nouveau riche.
As soon as he entered, his gaze fell on Jiang Shunian. A glint flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes as he pretended to be kind and approachable: "You're Xiao Jiang? You're just as outstanding as you are in the TV series."
He didn't introduce himself, and Jiang Shunian didn't know who he was, nor did she dare to ask rashly. She could only greet him: "Hello, I am Jiang Shunian."
"Come and sit down." The man gestured for Jiang Shunian to sit next to him, while Zhang Yuan sat at the end of the table, smiling obsequiously.
Jiang Shunian didn't like these kinds of occasions. She sat down a little awkwardly and cheered herself up in her heart: It's okay, Jiang Shunian, get through this!
After everyone was seated, the dishes were quickly served. Each dish was a beautiful work of art, accompanied by explanations of the ingredients' origins and the purpose of the plating.
Jiang Shunian listened attentively, and after they started eating, he also picked up a piece to taste. Well, how should I put it, the taste wasn't very good; it only relied on the freshness and high quality of the ingredients.
The big shot took in Jiang Shunian's performance and became increasingly satisfied. He was so beautiful and so innocent and unpretentious. This kind of young man would be very tender in bed. It seemed that tonight would be a very wonderful night.
"If there's anything else you'd like to eat, you can order a few more dishes," the boss said with a smile.
Jiang Shunian quickly shook his head: "These are good enough."
The big shot didn't actually talk much with Jiang Shunian. He just chatted with the director and screenwriter about the recent film and television market, hit dramas, and "The Regret of Lin'an." He spoke very meaningfully, and Jiang Shunian listened in and benefited greatly.
When the banquet was halfway over, the big boss went to the restroom. Zhang Yuan brought over a glass of wine and handed it to Jiang Shunian, whispering a reminder: "Hurry up and offer a toast later. Can't you see that no one is paying attention to you?"
Jiang Shunian's alcohol tolerance is average, but this glass isn't big, so he should be fine after drinking one.
Soon, the big boss returned. Jiang Shunian mentally prepared his words, raised his glass and said, "I am inexperienced, but I am grateful for your appreciation. If we have the opportunity to work together, I will definitely do my best in acting."
He rarely attends banquets and doesn't say nice things, but these are all his true feelings.
The big shot smiled and raised his glass to clink with him.
Jiang Shunian held his breath and downed a glass of red wine in one gulp. Ugh, it tastes awful.
He quickly drank some tea to rinse his mouth.
After offering a toast, the big shot started paying attention to him, said a few words to him, and even put his arm around his shoulder.
Jiang Shunian was actually a little disgusted because he was too close, and his breath, mixed with the smell of alcohol, was quite unpleasant.
He tried to move to the side, but the man's arm fell down and rested on his waist, seemingly touching him.
Jiang Shunian was so startled that he almost jumped up!
Then he realized something was wrong, because he felt very dizzy and his body started to feel hot.
These are definitely not symptoms of drunkenness.
Jiang Shunian had a bad feeling. He knew Zhang Yuan wouldn't kindly introduce him to resources, so why did he believe him?
But there's no use saying anything now; he has to leave as soon as possible, before the medicine takes full effect.
Got it!
"I'm going to the restroom first," Jiang Shunian said with a smile, standing up.
The private room had its own restroom, which was about a turn away from there. Jiang Shunian initially pretended to walk towards the restroom, but when he was closest to the door, he suddenly turned and rushed towards it. Perhaps not expecting Jiang Shunian to be able to escape, the door wasn't locked, and Jiang Shunian easily ran out.
Zhang Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Jiang Shunian, you come back here!"
But Jiang Shunian wouldn't listen. After leaving the door, he ran as fast as he could towards the club's entrance. The sound of chasing gradually came from behind him. Because of the strenuous exercise, the effects of the drug spread even faster, and his vision began to blur, making it difficult for him to see the road clearly.
He was unfamiliar with the place, and it was built like a maze. Moreover, the club staff joined in to catch him. In his panic, Jiang Shunian ran up to his private room.
The sound of pursuit behind him still seemed to be there, so Jiang Shunian had to find a room to hide in.
He pushed open each door, but they were all locked. When he got to the last room, he actually managed to push the door open!
Jiang Shunian slid into the room like a fish, closed the door and locked it. After the initial shock dissipated, his legs went weak and he slid down the door to the ground.
Will they come after us? Jiang Shunian's heart was pounding, but his body was getting hotter. He desperately wanted to take off his clothes, but he couldn't; he wasn't completely out of danger yet.
Moreover, Zhang Yuan had somehow drugged him, and he gradually felt a void behind him...
"Who is it? Get out." A low, husky, yet magnetic and pleasant voice rang out, sounding as if it was suppressing something.
The room was dark and unlit. Jiang Shunian struggled to open her eyes and could only see a blurry figure.
"I... I've been tricked and taken advantage of. I drank drugged wine. Could I hide here for a while? Please." Jiang Shunian tried to stand up, but he had no strength at all; his legs were too weak.
He could only open his watery, bewildered eyes and try to move this person.
The person approached step by step, and only when they got close did they realize that something was wrong with him. He was breathing rapidly and had a high body temperature, just like him.
Oh no, could he also be an unlucky guy who was tricked into being drugged?
He should agree, right?
Fu Yanli never expected to be tricked. It seems that those people were really desperate. He originally wanted to endure it, but unexpectedly, a young boy came in.
His voice was very pleasant, like a clear mountain spring. Fu Yanli, however, dared not be careless and prepared to go over and verify it himself. If he was lying to him, he would throw him out.
Because of the darkness, Fu Yanli couldn't see the other person's face clearly. He didn't turn on the light rashly, but instead reached out to check on the other person. However, when he touched the other person's soft and smooth skin, his long-suppressed feelings were instantly ignited.
"What's your name?" Fu Yanli gripped his wrist, his palm almost burning him.
Jiang Shunian dared not reveal his name. Who knew who the other party was? He was a public figure; what if he was blackmailed by the other party?
He wanted to say something, but a soft murmur escaped his lips first.
The voice was so alluring and sexy that Fu Yanli's rationality collapsed instantly. He couldn't help but pull the boy into his arms and hold him tightly, his burning lips pressing down on him.
Jiang Shunian was caught off guard by the kiss and was shocked. He tried to struggle, but he really had no strength at all, and his resistance was more like a reluctant acceptance.
Moreover, it was his first time kissing, and he never knew that just one kiss could cause such a burn.
Fu Yanli felt that the little boy in his arms was sweet and delicious, making him want to continue, even though the other party was sent by those people.
At worst, we can just spend more time and energy dealing with them.
Seeing the little boy whimpering and limp as a board, Fu Yanli picked him up and carried him to the bed. After gently setting him down, he immediately climbed on top of him...
