2421 Twins
“N-No.” Zheng Lida was no longer a fledgling artiste, but under Qiao Weiyang’s gaze, he actually felt afraid.
He thought to himself, ‘Maybe I really shouldn’t do these kinds of things.’
“You don’t mind if I turn on the lights, do you, Mr. Zheng?” Lu Mingjue said coldly.
“I don’t mind. Turn them on. I was going to turn on the lights anyway.”
With a snap, all the lights in the room were turned on and it was as if it was daytime. Lu Mingjue sat down and said, “Is dinner ready?”
The paparazzi who were tasked to secretly take photos were all dumbfounded. They had arranged to take photos, but now, they could not find Xin Yue. There were so many people in the room. They did not know who to take photos of, so they could only casually take a few photos.
Then, the lights were turned on and kept reflecting in their cameras. It was inconvenient for them to take more photos.
“W-Wait a moment. I’ll ask the rest of the production team if they’re here.” Zheng Lida picked up his phone and rushed to the balcony to call Zhang Xi.
Zhang Xi was silent for a while before saying, “Wait a while. I’ll arrange for some people to go over immediately.”
She had no choice. Since things did not go according to plan, she had to find a way to deal with the aftermath.
After a while, many members of the production team arrived.
Ma Jianhua, Li Qizhi, and Tian Ke were all called over. A few staff members were also here.
Lu Mingjue’s gaze was extremely cold despite his smile, and the chilliness seeped into everyone’s bones.
He ordered eight million yuan worth of wine with a few words. He also ordered dishes worth about a million yuan before saying, “That’s about it.”
Zheng Lida was speechless. Although he could afford it, anyone would feel the pinch if they had to spend so much money for a farce.
Zhang Xi would definitely not reimburse him for this money. He could not look for the production team to reimburse him either.
Just thinking about it made Zheng Lida suffocate.
He was not a famous A-list celebrity. If this continued…
“Mr. Zheng, the food and wine in this restaurant are very good. You have to try more,” Lu Mingjue said with a faint smile.
Qiao Weiyang smiled and said, “I heard that this restaurant’s deep-sea sturgeon caviar is not bad. It was flown over this morning. Other restaurants might not have it. Why don’t we all try it?”
Her suggestion was echoed by everyone.
This kind of caviar costs more than 8,000 yuan per person. There were already more than 50 people present.
Zheng Lida wanted to avoid them immediately. Out of sight, out of mind. However, he did not know what they would do after he left. After all, he was the one who booked this private room!
After the caviar came, Qiao Weiyang took a bite and put it aside. She lowered her head and spoke to Xin Yue.
Lu Mingjue glanced at Zheng Lida. Zheng Lida’s intentions had long been seen through by them.
Now, Zheng Lida only hoped that time would pass quickly and the torture tonight would end.
Actually, he did not know that if it were not for Xin Yue’s determination to make her own path in the entertainment industry, Lu Mingjue would have already taken action against him…
After all, Qiao Weiyang and Lu Mingjue weren’t really here to eat. After taking a few bites, they stood up and said, “I still have work tomorrow, so I won’t be accompanying everyone. Take your time.”
The other staff members did not have to watch their diet or lose weight. They could eat more freely with the actors not present. They smiled and said, “Goodbye and good night.”
Xin Yue also stood up. “I’ll go with you.”
She maintained a harmless smile the entire time but did not look at Zheng Lida.
Zheng Lida had suffered heavy losses tonight and could not smile at all.
After coming out, Xin Yue patted her chest and said, “This scared me to death. I haven’t encountered such a thing since I debuted. Fortunately, you guys came to accompany me.”
Lu Mingjue rubbed her head. “You didn’t stand out before; you were just good-looking. You were only useful to yourself. Now that you’re starting to stand out, your value has greatly increased. There’ll only be more and more such things in the future. You have to protect yourself.”
“Got it, Cousin!”
“When you encounter something, you have to learn to ask for help, do you understand? Don’t think that just because the family won’t interfere with your affairs that you can neglect your safety.”
Xin Yue tilted her head and looked at him. “Cousin, why are you suddenly so serious? You’re talking so well too. Are you really my cousin?”
“Lu Xinyue!” Lu Mingjue knocked her forehead. “Will you only come to your senses when I knock you on the head?”
“Hehehe.”
Qiao Weiyang looked at the two of them fooling around and couldn’t help but feel amused and relieved.
Zheng Lida had suffered such a huge loss tonight. He would definitely not let this matter rest.
There were things to be wary of.
After sending Xin Yue off, Lu Mingjue said, “I’ve seen a few good scripts recently. Unfortunately, they’re not suitable for you. Otherwise, I would’ve brought them over for you.”
“Why are they not suitable? I haven’t even seen them yet.”
“Please, Sister-in-law. Do you think a script with two male leads is suitable for you? What role are you going to play?”
When Qiao Weiyang heard that there were two male leads, she thought of someone.
“How’s the script itself?”
“The quality of the script is good. From the producers to the directors, they’re all impressive figures. However, the investment isn’t high, and the outside world isn’t optimistic about it. If it weren’t for the fact that the script is really good, I wouldn’t have taken another look.”
“Can I recommend a friend to audition?”
Lu Mingjue nodded. “Of course. They’re casting a wide net this time to look for suitable actors. But everyone has to audition.”
“It’s only right for them to audition. You can recommend him. His name is Luo Lin.”
As soon as she mentioned Luo Lin, Lu Mingjue understood. “The one from I Am An Actor? He has good qualifications, especially his eyes… It’s a pity that he didn’t advance this time. Let me recommend him.”
After Lu Mingjue recommended Luo Lin, Qiao Weiyang called Luo Lin.
“Really? Then I’ll get ready.” Luo Lin said generously, “Thank you, Sister Weiyang.”
“Don’t thank me yet. Get ready. Whether you can get the role or not depends on the director’s requirements and whether you fit the persona.”
“Of course, but I still have to thank you for recommending me, Sister Weiyang. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even have had the chance to audition.” Luo Lin’s laughter was very honest. “You helped me take this step. I’ll work hard for the remaining 99 steps.”
“Yes, I look forward to your good news.”
…
Knowing that Luo Lin was going for the audition, Xin Yue couldn’t help but feel nervous.
During the recording, she called Luo Lin.
Luo Lin was already on the set of the audition. When he saw her call, he picked it up.
“How is it? Are you done with the audition?”
“I’m waiting.”
“Then I won’t disturb you anymore. Get ready. I’ll call you when you’re done.”
