There was silence at the kitchen door; the servants were very discerning and didn't say a word.
After a moment, Huo Shen looked at Li Yining's expectant gaze and said coldly, "No."
Li Yining: “…”
Looking at the man's receding back, she pursed her lips and said angrily, "If you don't want it, then don't."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Uncle Xu, smiling: "Uncle Xu——" She deliberately prolonged the ending sound: "How about you eat it?"
Uncle Xu: “…Okay.”
He accepted his fate.
A group of people looked at Uncle Xu with sympathy. Under Li Yining's earnest gaze, Uncle Xu shook his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat that didn't look so burnt, and put it into his mouth.
Suddenly, he said "eh" unexpectedly and looked at Li Yining: "Not bad."
The servants: “…Really?”
Why did what they just ate taste so bad?
Uncle Xu nodded repeatedly: "Really, except for being burnt, the taste is just right and the texture is good."
Hearing this, Li Yining frowned and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xu. I'll try again."
"My wife is really smart. She learns everything quickly."
"That's right." Li Yining accepted the flattery from Uncle Xu and other servants without any guilt.
There was a continuous stream of noise coming up from downstairs.
Huo Shen came out of the room and was about to go downstairs. Just as he stood at the stairs, he heard the noisy sounds downstairs again.
"Wow, ma'am, this dish is so tasty."
"My wife's cooking is getting better and better. It's delicious!"
"Sir, you are out of luck!"
"Do you want to ask Mr. to taste it?"
Then he heard his wife's voice: "Who cares what he does? Just eat more."
“…Okay, okay.”
Huo Shen listened and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
--childish.
Suddenly, he thought of the news reported by his assistant. A person had not changed at all, or even changed into a different person. So what was the reason for her drastic change in temperament?
Could it be that it is really as we guessed... that he just grew up suddenly?
Huo Shen was deep in thought, his eyes darkened as he looked towards a place not far away.
Li Yining came out of the kitchen and was about to go upstairs when he saw a man standing on the spiral staircase.
The two looked at each other silently. She held her phone and replied to Song Jing, directly bypassing Huo Shen without even glancing at him.
Humph, you dare to complain about the food you cooked!
After returning to the room, Li Yining made a phone call to Song Jing.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow to go to the crew. It's just a small role, just three scenes."
"good."
Li Yining was half lying on the sofa, not really paying attention to his image: "Then should I go to the company with you tomorrow?"
Song Jing said, "It's up to you. I can pick you up."
Li Yining thought about it, was silent for a moment and said: "That's fine, it depends on your situation, Sister Song. What time do you want to arrive?"
"Six o'clock, can you come over?"
"Okay, I'll let the driver take you there. Sister Song, you can take a rest."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yining went online to watch the TV series that Sister Song mentioned in which he had a small supporting role.
The TV series is modern, a pure campus idol drama adapted from a novel.
The character that Li Yining played in three scenes was a proud, wealthy, beautiful girl who looked down on others - this was exactly what she was like.
She was eliminated by the richer male lead in three scenes and no longer had any qualifications to disrupt the development of the relationship between the man and the woman. She was just a cannon fodder to promote the development of the relationship between the man and the woman.
After reading it, Li Yining turned his head to look at the mirror, carefully examining his own face and muttering, "Do I have the words 'disrespectful' written on my face?"
No one answered.
She slapped her face to wake up for a few seconds, then got up and went into the bathroom.
When Li Yining came out of the bathroom, there was already someone lying on the bed.
She blinked, and blinked again... to make sure she was seeing things.
"you--"
Huo Shen was wearing dark pajamas and he lifted his eyelids to look at her.
In an instant, Li Yining swallowed back the words that were stuck in his throat.
"It's OK."
She silently climbed onto the bed from the other side. After getting on the bed, she did not forget to check whether her collar was loose. She lay stiffly on the edge of the bed like a wooden fish.
There was only the sound of pages turning on one side. She didn't pay close attention to whether Huo Shen was reading a book or a script.
After a few seconds, a man's voice came from the side: "I heard that you want to go to a variety show."
Li Yining: “…”
Your affirmative tone doesn't sound like something you heard.
"Um."
Huo Shen paused and reminded lightly: "I suggest you choose another one. This inn is not suitable for you."
Upon hearing this, Li Yining instantly became furious.
She lifted the quilt and looked at the bad man beside her angrily: "Why is this inn not suitable for me? If it's not suitable for me, how can it be suitable for you?"
This arrogant eldest daughter's temper, this easily ignited personality, makes Huo Shen feel that... she should not have changed her mind.
He was silent for a few seconds and said calmly: "It's not suitable for me either."
He looked sideways at her with deep eyes, and analyzed calmly: "If you joined Galaxy Entertainment to change people's opinion of you, then you shouldn't have accepted this variety show."
Li Yining said nothing.
In fact, what Huo Shen said made some sense. According to Huo Shen's understanding of the original owner, she was a young lady who had never been involved in womanizing. It was indeed inappropriate for her to do that kind of thing in the guest inn. But now that Li Yining had taken her place, she was confident that she could do it well and make everyone look at her with new eyes.
Well, Huo Shen had no feelings for the original owner, but he fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations of a husband.
It was rare that Li Yining couldn't refute it.
She was silent for a moment, pulled the quilt and said, "I haven't even gone yet, how do you know it's not allowed? I can even learn to cook. It's just an inn, so it's no problem."
Hearing this, Huo Shen said nothing more.
The two sentences he just said were entirely out of affection between husband and wife and advice from his boss. Since she didn't listen, Huo Shen didn't plan to do anything else.
"Think about it yourself."
"Um."
——
Later, Li Yining couldn't remember how he fell asleep.
She only vaguely remembered that she didn't seem to be as resistant to Huo Shen as before.
When he woke up the next day, Li Yining hurriedly packed his things and asked the driver to take him to the company to meet Sister Song.
The city is not far from where the TV series was filmed, just a school in the suburbs.
Sister Song looked at the people getting on the bus and smiled helplessly: "Are you sleepy?"
Li Yining rubbed his eyes: "Well, I didn't sleep well last night."
Sister Song understood: "Let's take a break."
"good."
When Li Yining and Sister Song arrived at the crew, the crew was filming.
When the staff saw her come in, they were stunned and a little surprised.
"Why is Li Yining here?"
“I don’t know.”
"I heard that she has a role in our drama. She plays the arrogant young lady."
"Ah? This...isn't the director afraid that she will ruin our play?"
Li Yining pretended not to hear those words and followed Song Jing obediently and sensibly.
Song Jing was also calm and pulled her to the director: "Director Lin, this is Li Yining I mentioned to you."
Director Lin turned his head, looked at Li Yining and nodded: "Not bad."
He was a little surprised. He looked at the pair of lively almond eyes in front of him and looked at Song Jing: "She is more lively than in the photo."
Li Yining smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Director Lin."
Director Lin was not unaware of the rumors on the Internet, but he had worked with Song Jing many times. Now someone wanted to send an actor to his crew, especially a role with only three scenes. No matter how reluctant he was, Director Lin would give her face.
This circle has always been like this; if you have connections, you don’t have to worry about having no way out.
Director Lin smiled and waved his hand: "Go change your clothes first, and then watch the show."
"good."
Li Yining followed the staff to the dressing room.
The staff member was a fan of Jiang Yuan and had no good feelings towards Li Yining. He looked at her coldly and said stiffly, "Ms. Li, follow me."
Li Yining raised his eyebrows and glanced at the staff: "Thank you."
The staff snorted coldly and took her into a dressing room with an expressionless face. He pointed and said, "This is the dressing room. Those are your clothes. After you change, a makeup artist will come to put on your makeup."
"good."
The staff was a little surprised. They thought she would lose her temper, but they didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to.
She responded, "You go ahead."
Li Yining didn't care at all about the bad attitudes people had towards him due to misunderstanding, so he went into the dressing room to change clothes with a relaxed mood.
She didn't know that in just a few minutes, there was already a commotion outside.
"What the hell, why is Jiang Yuan here on the set?"
Everyone turned around and stared in surprise at the man who walked into the set with his assistant and agent.
"Could it be that Li Yining knew Jiang Yuan would be here today, so he came to make a guest appearance as well?"
"This is too much! I knew Li Yining had bad intentions when he came to the crew!"
"Does Jiang Yuan have a cameo role as well?"
"No, I came to see He Shengyuan."
Someone nearby added: "Have you forgotten that he and He Shengyuan are good brothers who came from a talent show."
Everyone suddenly realized.
But I did forget that Jiang Yuan and his team's audition was already in the first half of the year. Before the finals ended, the contestants had already started their own activities. Jiang Yuan was both singing and acting, while He Shengyuan switched directly to acting and got the role of the male lead after moving around in several crews.
Everyone looked at each other, totally unsure of what to do.
"Li Yining, please don't try to touch Yuanyuan again."
"If she dares to brazenly commit fraud today, I will expose her immediately."
Everyone was talking about it. Jiang Yuan, who had just joined the crew a few minutes ago, also got the news. His face instantly turned dark.
He looked at the assistant beside him: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
The assistant also felt aggrieved: "Director Lin didn't tell us before that Li Yining would be making a cameo appearance."
He Shengyuan patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and consoled him: "Don't worry, there are so many people here, Li Yining won't do anything to you so blatantly, right?"
Jiang Yuan's face turned pale, thinking about the incident at the company that day and the series of events that followed when she signed the contract with Galaxy Entertainment. He gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know this person well. This kind of shameless woman can do anything."
He Shengyuan: “…”
He was about to say something when he heard a cry of surprise from behind: "Wow!"
Several people turned their heads to look over there, and what came into view was a pair of long, straight, white legs with well-proportioned bones and flesh, which was particularly beautiful. There was not a single bit of fat on the calves, and above that was a relatively short pleated skirt, a slender waist that could be held in one hand - and a very innocent face.
Her skin is white and translucent without any makeup.
Her almond-shaped eyes were clear, and her double ponytails swayed back and forth, making her look like a campus goddess.
Everyone: “…”
Holy shit! Li Yining is so good looking?!
Under everyone's stunned gaze, Director Lin and Song Jing walked out from the lounge. Looking at Li Yining's outfit, Director Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, a really good candidate."
He frowned and looked at the makeup artist: "But isn't her face too white? Give her some powder to cover it up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff who had come to their senses not far away were secretly delighted.
Oh, it turns out that her skin is whitened by powder, not natural. I knew Li Yining is not that good-looking.
The makeup artist was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "This is a little difficult for me."
She pointed at Li Yining and said, "Director Lin, I didn't put any makeup on her, I just put some sunscreen on her."
Director Lin: “…”
Others: “???”
What? ! ! They don't believe it! !
Director Lin was stunned for a few seconds and was a little surprised.
He stepped forward to take a closer look and muttered, "Really? No, forget it."
He waved his hands and said, "Come here, I'll tell you about the play."
"good."
Suddenly, Jiang Yuan, the agent, stepped forward and smiled flatteringly at Director Lin: "Director Lin, long time no see."
Director Lin then noticed the extra people in the crew. He nodded coldly: "It's been a long time."
He looked at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan greeted him stiffly: "Director Lin."
Director Lin nodded: "Come to visit Shengyuan?"
"I'm here to visit Director Lin."
Director Lin laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "You have a bright future."
He turned his head and looked at Li Yining: "Going to talk about opera?"
"good."
Under everyone's gaze, Li Yining walked right past Jiang Yuan without even giving him a glance, even more cruel and ruthless than he was to Huo Shen last night.
Everyone: “???”
Li Yining, why are you so cold to us Jiang Yuan? !
Jiang Yuan was also quite surprised. He looked at Li Yining's receding back in astonishment, and his face became even uglier.
——
Director Lin said the play was fast, and after learning that Li Yining had taken classes, he was not vague.
After a while, he called He Shengyuan and several other actors to come and try out the role together.
This scene is where Li Yining falls in love with He Shengyuan at first sight, and he also squeezes out the leading actress, who is an actress who specializes in web dramas, named Meng Leqiao, and it is said on the Internet that she has a very lovely personality.
Li Yining took a look and found that she was very cute, with a round face and two small pear-shaped cheeks, which made her look particularly young.
After saying hello, Li Yining got into character and started filming.
Most of the staff around were Li Yining's haters, and were waiting for Director Lin to scold her.
Result: After the scene ended, everyone turned to look at Director Lin and asked why he didn't scold Li Yining?
Why did Li Yining act so well as the arrogant young lady? ?
Seriously, Li Yining actually has some acting skills?!
After the first scene, Director Lin was particularly happy.
He looked at Li Yining and praised Song Jing: "Not bad, he has some potential."
Song Jing was also surprised. She nodded and defended her artist: "Yes, she has been entangled in scandals before." She smiled and said: "If I didn't have some strength, would Xinghe leave her to me?"
Director Lin was startled and heard the hidden meaning.
"That's right. As long as she keeps this potential, she will have unlimited possibilities in the future."
"Thank you Director Lin for your kind words."
It was lunchtime, and Li Yining and Song Jing were together.
Song Jing looked at her and said, "I just got the news. The inn will officially announce you guys later. We will start recording the day after tomorrow."
Li Yining understood and paused before asking, "Who are the other artists?"
Song Jing shook her head: "I only know two, and there are a few more that are being negotiated. They were not sure when I asked."
"oh oh."
When the two were discussing work, a group of photos taken on the set were suddenly exposed on the Internet.
The topic is also particularly eye-catching.
#Li Yining Jiang Yuan set "encounter"#
What exactly happened to this encounter is probably only known to the person involved.
By the time Huo Shen got the news, the photo had already fermented completely.
Netizens once again wildly insulted and accused Li Yining of scamming people, saying that he even knew their brother's schedule clearly and took advantage of this opportunity to pretend that it was an "accidental encounter."
Looking at the photos taken, Li Yining, wearing a school uniform, a short shirt and a shortened pleated skirt, looked at the man in black pants and a white shirt from a distance across the crowd.
In the eyes of the two, everyone spontaneously understood it as - disgust and admiration.
At this time, a certain inn seemed to feel that the two were not popular enough, so it posted an official announcement in advance.
@唯一客裧V: A resting place carefully prepared for you, the most desirable resting inn, the most unique place to relax is about to open, and will be launched on August 15th. The boss and employees are in place, waiting for your visit @齊涛@林瑜@方文林@童然@江原@黎一鯧, so stay tuned.
As soon as the news came out, the entire Internet exploded.
The author has something to say: Mr. Huo: Why don’t you invite me!!!
Netizen: Damn, this is my favorite Shura Field, let’s see who will win!!!
Ning Ning: ??? I just want to record quietly, not to steal anyone’s attention :)
