"Wait a minute." Wu Kai narrowed his eyes and put his hand on the shoulder of Zhang Minmin. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn nοvelfire.net Zhang Minmin internally cursed 'dirty old man' while her face wore a flattering smile, "Director Wu, my friend has something to do, we'll invite Director Wu for a meal another time." Zhang Minmin subtly dodged Wu Kai's hand. Tang Yue and Zhang Tingyu both furrowed their brows involuntarily; Wu Kai did not look like a decent man, and as for President Wen, who was fat as a ball beside him, there was no need to mention him. His lust-filled eyes on Tang Yue and Zhang Tingyu were nauseating. Tang Yue and Zhang Tingyu also kept silent. "Xiao Zhang, since we've run into each other, why don't we have a meal together? You can bring your friends too," Wu Kai said with a smile, glancing at President Wen whose gaze had already been glued to Tang Yue. Wu Kai naturally knew what President Wen wanted. "Your friend also looks pretty good. Maybe we can work together on a new project in the future." Wu Kai blocked their way, his eyes on Tang Yue and Zhang Tingyu, "Xiao Zhang, introduce us. Your current role isn't bad, though it's just as the third female lead, but who knows, next time you might become the second female lead, or even the lead." "Director Wu, my friend is still in university," Zhang Minmin said urgently, knowing that Wu Kai was lascivious. She had secretly overheard some unusual sounds between the lead actress and Wu Kai. "And besides, they're not interested in acting," Zhang Minmin hinted with her eyes. "It's just a meal. Xiao Zhang, you're really not giving face here," President Wen's voice also gave off a drifting feeling, his gaze as if he wanted to strip someone's clothes off right then and there. Zhang Minmin refused, but both Wu Kai and President Wen clearly intended to coerce her; if they were unwilling to go, they might take away Zhang Minmin's role as the third female lead. For the past few months, Zhang Minmin had been filming tirelessly both day and night, and just when the shooting was nearing its end, why did this have to happen? Zhang Minmin deeply regretted it—had she known that they would be at Taohua Restaurant, she wouldn't have gone even if she were beaten to death. Wu Kai didn't have much interest in her. Zhang Minmin considered herself quite attractive, but she wasn't Wu Kai's type. Thus, during these past few months, Zhang Minmin quietly filmed her parts without causing any trouble. "Director Wu." Tang Yue's crisp voice rang out, "Today is not very convenient. Maybe some other time..." "Why put off till another day what you can do today? I see you just finished eating, there's a KTV upstairs, why not go sing a song together?" Wu Kai's eyes lit up when he saw Tang Yue's face. Even Wu Kai, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was captivated. Tang Yue had delicate features, the unforgettable kind, especially her spirited eyes that were bright and glowing. She had a tranquil temperament, and her crisp voice sounded like pearls colliding. Beside her, Zhang Tingyu was also a great beauty, graceful and genteel. "KTV is too noisy. Since Director Wu wants to have a meal, let's just have a meal," Tang Yue said coolly. The gaze from Wu Kai and President Wen was very much disliked by her, but today, with both of them standing there, unless Zhang Minmin didn't want her role anymore, they couldn't avoid this meal. "Xiao Yue." Zhang Minmin was anxious, pulling at Tang Yue, halting before she could speak. Tang Yue's lips curved into a light smile, "Minmin, it's just a meal." "That's right," Wu Kai said with a smile, very pleased with Tang Yue's understanding. "Then please lead the way, Director Wu," Tang Yue picked up her backpack, signaling Zhang Minmin not to worry. Zhang Tingyu maintained a composed face, previously approving of Zhang Minmin's determination, but now even she was wavering. The group entered the private room. "Huh?" Jin Yu's gaze fell on the room, weren't those two girls the ones he had encountered on the train? Jin Yu thought of the two people he had just seen, if he wasn't mistaken, they were Wu Kai and Wen Changyan. Wu Kai, needless to say much, his films are not bad, but as a person, he's flirtatious. And Wen Changyan, even less needs to be mentioned, with money in his hands, what he likes most is financially supporting young stars. Those two girls, they don't seem like individuals who would sell themselves for money. "Have someone check who is in that private room, and also, why they are dining together," Jin Yu instructed. Inside the private room. Tang Yue and the three of them sat close to one another, with both Tang Yue and Zhang Tingyu seated beside Zhang Minmin in the middle. Wu Kai was next to Tang Yue, and President Wen was next to Zhang Tingyu. Fortunately, the table was fairly large, so the distance between each person wasn't too far. Tang Yue took out a napkin from her purse and wiped her hands, then pretended to rummage through her bag. She pressed the record button on her MP3 player and then placed her purse behind her. She asked, "Is Director Wu the main director or the assistant director?" "Of course the main one," Wu Kai replied without hesitation, his gaze falling on Tang Yue's slender fingers. Tang Yue's fingers were well-maintained, lush like scallions, her fair skin smooth as if carved from jade. "So, Minmin's performance in the crew has been good, right?" Tang Yue asked with a smile. "Good," Wu Kai praised Zhang Minmin, "She's quite insightful. She really brought this character to life, everyone in the crew says she has a natural flair." "Really?" Tang Yue raised a smile and asked, "That must also be due to Director Wu's excellent directing." Her smile was sweet, her bright eyes seeming to shine. "It too requires a good actor," Wu Kai intentionally spoke well of Zhang Minmin, "She's also diligent and serious. Give her some time, and who knows, she might just become a big star." Tang Yue drawled out her response. Zhang Minmin felt anxious and frustrated inside, unsure of Tang Yue's intentions with these questions, so she decided to stay silent. Before long, the dishes were served. They had all eaten their fill, and now no one felt like picking up their chopsticks. "I'll have some dishes," Wu Kai eagerly offered food to Tang Yue, "The boiled fish slices here are quite tasty." "Thank you, Director Wu, but I've just finished eating and can't eat any more," Tang Yue straightforwardly refused. Wu Kai's face changed color. As if oblivious, Tang Yue flattered him, "Then Director Wu must be a dedicated and professional director. Minmin mentioned that shooting your film has been great, that there have never been any so-called unspoken rules, and the atmosphere in the crew is particularly good." "Yes," Wu Kai thick-skinnedly agreed, but as he heard more, he started to feel something was off about Tang Yue's words. On the other side, President Wen wanted to talk to Zhang Tingyu, but who was Zhang Tingyu? She was a lawyer, known for her eloquent speech. With just a few words, she managed to block all of President Wen's attempts to converse. Although President Wen was displeased, Zhang Tingyu's words were like a soft knife; even if President Wen wanted to turn hostile, he couldn't. "Are you still a student? I think you're quite good; you could be the leading lady," Wu Kai's hand reached out towards Tang Yue. Tang Yue unapologetically refused, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in acting." She then silently handed over the hot water she had just poured. "Would you like some water, Director Wu?"
