Chapter 31 The Heroine of "Oranges Born in Huainan"



Although I missed some classes this semester, I had no problem passing them.

Now, he has no intention nor need to strive for the first place in professional courses to enhance his resume; as long as he does not fail the course and takes the make-up exam, he will win.

"Where are we going to eat?"

Li Jiahang was hungry, so he looked for a meal. Wei Yang looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "You're lucky. Come and have a meal with me today."

Driving a small Jetta, the two of them left the school gate, crossed two streets, and came to a Zibo barbecue restaurant.

“I know where to go.”

Wei Yang praised and walked into the store. Before he could make a phone call, he saw Zhao Ji waving at him frantically in a cubicle in the corner.

Wei Yang and the other man walked over and felt the temperature on the stove. Wei Yang took off his coat and said, "I don't mind if I bring someone to eat for free."

Li Jiahang and Zhao Ji already knew each other and had filmed a drama together in "The Best of Us", so they were naturally not strangers to each other. Li Jiahang, who had been a little reserved at first, also became calm and sat down.

"I thought it was Lao Wei who was taking me to see the boss, but it turns out you're the one treating me."

Zhao Ji said cheerfully: "Isn't this to thank Teacher Wei? Without his help, I wouldn't be able to play Luo Zhi in Oranges Born in Huainan."

Wei Yang was speechless: "Don't call me Teacher Wei, it makes me shiver."

Li Jiahang and Wei Yang live together, so even if he doesn't ask around, he knows a lot of inside information.

For example, the male and female protagonists of "Oranges in Huainan" are Sheng Huainan and Luo Zhi who appeared in "The Best of Us", and Blue Whale has been hesitating whether to replace the popular Zhao Ji with other stars like it replaced the male protagonist Hu Ge.

Now that I know Zhao Ji has secured the role, I can't help but be happy for her: "Congratulations."

"You are so generous. You treat me to a meal and I eat this."

Wei Yang and Zhao Ji were also familiar with each other and started joking around, but Zhao Ji didn't care. Instead, he complained that he was picky.

"The last time I invited you to eat Korean food, you didn't like it. The last time Yixiao and I asked you to eat Western food, you thought the portion was too small. You don't want to eat Japanese food, and you're tired of local food. After thinking it over, it's better to eat the special barbecue from my hometown."

"It's not me who picked it, it's you who are just making it fancy."

Wei Yang defended himself: "If you had prepared some hot pot or barbecue earlier, I wouldn't have said a word."

"Okay, I think I've figured out your taste this time, screenwriter Wei. I'll know how to treat you next time."

Zhao Ji handed over the menu: "Let's order. This is the good thing about our Zibo barbecue. We can eat while grilling, and the skewers won't get cold in winter."

This time she really helped a lot, Wei Yang didn't bother to be polite with her and asked Li Jiahang to order his favorite food.

Zibo barbecue is very unique, a bit similar to roast duck, and is served with small pancakes and green onions.

Put two skewers of meat on the pancake, take off the skewers, wrap them with green onions and roll them up, take a big bite, the wheat aroma of the pancake is well neutralized by the dipping sauce and the meat skewers.

The small pancakes make the slightly salty barbecue more palatable, the dipping sauce provides enough flavor, and the green onions offset the greasiness of the meat skewers. The main and the secondary complement each other, and they are delicious and filling.

"Mmmmm, delicious, delicious."

Wei Yang had eaten it in his previous life and just enjoyed it on his own. It was Li Jiahang's first time and he praised it repeatedly. Zhao Ji was in a good mood seeing that Anli's hometown food was praised.

"It's delicious, right? This one is very authentic. I found it because of the recommendation from my fellow villager."

The three of them are of similar age and are classmates. They chat about gossip about school teachers or celebrities, share interesting things about filming, and talk and laugh. There is quite a lot to talk about.

I was enjoying my meal when two young girls sitting next to me came pushing and shoving towards me.

"Excuse me, are you the cast of "The Best of Us"?"

Wei Yang and the other two looked at each other and nodded in acknowledgement. The two girls were particularly happy and asked for autographs. Wei Yang, in particular, received special attention.

"We really like you, Lu Xinghe. It's such a pity that you didn't end up with Geng Geng."

"Thank you for your support. Sometimes imperfection is a kind of beauty."

Wei Yang had actually encountered something similar in the past few days. He had somewhat begun to adapt to his popularity, so he comforted the two fans, signed autographs for them, and took photos with them.

But considering the pixel of the mobile phone in 2007, if it is not well preserved, it will probably become half mosaic in a few years...

After the two girls left happily, Wei Yang continued to eat calmly, while Li Jiahang and the other man were somewhat happy.

Their popularity in "The Best of Us" is far less than that of Lu Xinghe. If Wei Yang wasn't here, it would be difficult for them to be recognized and asked for autographs outside.

"Alright, hurry up and eat. Look at how useless you two are. You've only just started. Maybe you won't even be bothered to ask for my autograph in the future."

Wei Yang looked at the two people who were still reminiscing about the past and couldn't help but tease them. Li Jiahang curled his lips.

"If that day comes, I will die of happiness. Why would I complain about being tired?"

Zhao Ji next to him agreed and nodded: "I am willing to do it no matter how tired I am."

After eating and drinking, Zhao Ji, a girl, couldn't arrange any bath or massage, so they just went back home.

Before leaving, Zhao Ji stuffed a bank card into Wei Yang's hand away from Li Jiahang's sight.

"You know, my salary isn't that high. Here's 50,000 yuan. I don't mean anything special. I just want to express my gratitude to you for helping me this time."

If we say that Luo Zhi in the previous "The Best of Us" was just something Wei Yang did for fun, and Zhao Ji remembered the favor and just treated her to a meal.

"Oranges Born in Huainan" has a serious female lead, and it is a sister drama of the small hit drama, and there is a great hope for it to be broadcast on TV. This is a big favor.

Treating him to a meal is just an appetizer; this bank card is Zhao Ji's main event today.

Zhao Ji is not very famous now, and even as the female lead, her pay is limited. 50,000 yuan is almost half of her pay, so her sincerity is still good.

However, Wei Yang did not ask for her bank card.

Although he is a cunning and profit-seeking person, he doesn't take all the money.

Let’s not talk about whether the money involved casting kickbacks. It would be difficult to explain if Blue Whale found out.

From a personal perspective, the two of them can be considered good friends. After helping Zhao Ji today, he can ask him for help in the future. It is a mutually beneficial relationship. But if Wei Yang accepts money, then the matter will become tainted.

"When you become famous, help me. It will be much more valuable than this card."

Seeing that Wei Yang refused to accept it, Zhao Ji didn't want to force him to give it to her. He smiled and said, "I'm still trying to get you to pay. Maybe I'll have to rely on you for food in the future."

"Thank you for your good words. I'll give you an extra chicken drumstick in your lunch box later."

Wei Yang waved his hand, turned around, got into the car, started the engine and left. Li Jiahang also vaguely sensed something. He looked at Zhao Ji who was looking at him from afar in the rearview mirror, as if thinking about something.

"Old Wei, is Zhao Ji interested in you?"

Wei Yang was speechless: "I am not RMB, how can I be loved by everyone?"

"That's hard to say. Although Zhao Ji has a gentle temper, she is actually very noble and most people would look down on her. But she treated you to three meals. Hey, honestly, what do you think of her?"

Li Jiahang transformed into Zhang Wei and started gossiping. Wei Yang thought about Zhao Ji and replied with only two words.

“Too thin!”

Although Xiao Zhao is also thin, at least he is of the right height and body type. He can gain weight after some nourishment. The most important thing is that Wei Yang likes girls with fair skin…
