Three days later, Wang Shen and Yuan Shu agreed to have dinner together and sign the contract at the same time. Since they were going to sign the contract, Shi Lu would naturally be there too. Zhang Zhang had decided to play the role of the female lead’s daughter, so their managers came over together.

The meal was boring and was almost entirely about work. Most of the time, Zhang Chao and the other manager were talking to Wang Shen. The other three people could only eat quietly.

Zhang Zhang hated such occasions the most, so she whispered to Shi Lu and Yuan Shu, “Why don’t we go have some fun after dinner?”

Shi Lu focused on eating the cumin lamb chops. With chili powder and cumin powder, the cumin lamb chops were simply delicious.

While eating, Shi Lu replied, “What are you up to? Tell me.”

Zhang Zhang glared at him and thought to himself, “This guy can eat lamb chops so elegantly, but why is he so sharp-tongued?!”

Then, she looked at Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu basically didn’t eat much. She only drank a bowl of chicken soup before putting down her chopsticks. When she heard Zhang Zhang’s suggestion at this moment, she looked at him seriously.

Zhang Zhang had cut off her long hair again. Now, her short hair was dyed red, and the ends of her hair were gradually turning pink. She looked cool and flashy. After she entered the restaurant and sat down, she attracted everyone’s attention the moment she took off her hat.

Shi Lu teased her, “If you dye your hair green in two days, you’ll be like traffic lights!”

Zhang Zhang ignored him and posed as she said to Yuan Shu happily, “Yuan Shu, do you think my hair looks good?”

Yuan Shu smiled dotingly as she said, “It’s very cool!”

Zhang Zhang was fiesty and vivacious. When Yuan Shu was with Zhang Zhang, she would always be in a good mood because of her.

At this moment, Zhang Zhang suggested, “I want to go to the No Man’s Land for a drink after dinner!”

Shi Lu had just torn off a piece of mutton when she heard this and immediately retorted, “No. My sister-in-law never stays up late. Besides, she doesn’t like drinking alcohol.”

When Zhang Zhang heard Shi Lu say no, she clenched her fists tightly. Later on, when she heard that it was because Yuan Shu didn’t like such occasions, she was extremely disappointed and looked at Yuan Shu pitifully with her big round eyes.

Zhang Zhang looked so cute that Yuan Shu couldn’t bear to reject her. “It’s okay. It’s still early, so I want to stroll around some more.”

Shi Lu’s jaw dropped. Previously, when they suggested watching horror movies at home at night, Yuan Shu used the excuse that she didn’t stay up late to reject the three of them. Why did she suddenly become so easy-going when it came to Zhang Zhang?

Zhang Zhang was like a withered flower under the sun, but after hearing Yuan Shu’s words, she immediately came back to life, as if a bucket of water had been poured on her. Her eyes lit up and she moved closer to Yuan Shu.

“Tonight, the lead singer for No Man’s Land will be the band that has been most popular recently, the Reef Band! Let’s go listen to them! I heard that people from the audience will be randomly selected to sing on stage tonight. It’ll be super lively!”

Shi Lu was a little jealous and glared at Zhang Zhang fiercely. “Your red hair is already flashy enough. When the time comes, they’ll choose you to go on stage and you’ll embarrass yourself! How can a tone-deaf person like you sing?!” “Hehehe!” Zhang Zhang grimaced at him.

Singing was Zhang Zhang’s only shortcoming. She knew how to dance, had good acting skills, and was popular with the audience. However, she was tone deaf, so if there were singing projects on many variety shows, she would pass on them. When she really couldn’t reject them, she would choose to lip-synch. She had been on the trending searches because of this many times.

After the director and manager were almost done negotiating and the contract was signed, the three of them left and rode the Shi family’s private car straight to No Man’s Land.

It was just past nine o’clock now, so there were not many people in No Man’s Land, but the lighting and atmosphere were already in place.

In the dark environment, colorful beams of light flickered back and forth. On the stage, three young singers were rapping and dancing. The three of them were part of the show, and the Reef Band would appear at ten o’clock sharp.

Zhang Zhang knew the manager here. After giving a few instructions, the manager led the three of them to the booth opposite the stage..
