Chapter 48 - Chapter 48 - 48: Female Lead (2/2)

Fang Yuan shook her head, forcibly suppressing the emotions in her heart.

“You, find two people to check out the place where we last bought deep-fried buns and vegetable turnovers!”

The assistant was bewildered for a moment, as she didn’t know about Fang Yuan’s past.

Besides, this wasn’t the first time Fang Yuan had tasked her with visiting that small food cart.

However, she didn’t dare to refute and could only agree.

Just then, the executive director of the event organizers suddenly walked over to Fang Yuan.

“Miss Fang, do you have any open dates after this reality show wraps up?”

Fang Yuan quickly stood up, “I’ve been quite busy recently, so my schedule is probably fully booked. What’s the matter?”

“It’s like this, there’s a film, and the investors specifically requested you for the role of the third female lead!”

Upon hearing it was for the role of the third female lead, Fang Yuan was ready to decline.

But the executive director suddenly took out a script, “However, the investors mentioned that if Miss Fang is willing, they would also consider you for the role of the leading lady.”

Fang Yuan couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

Until now, she had always been in TV dramas and had never been involved in the big screen.

She had never even considered becoming the leading lady in a film.

However, Han Mintao had always told Fang Yuan that in the entertainment industry, there were no pies falling from the sky.

If you wanted to obtain something, you had to exchange something of equal value.

Despite her excitement, Fang Yuan did not immediately accept the offer.

“I’ll have to think about it, as I can’t allow my schedule to be too conflicted.”

The executive director didn’t say much more and just stuffed the script into Fang Yuan’s hands.

“Please do get back to me as soon as possible.”

After the executive director left, Fang Yuan couldn’t wait to open the script.

Yet, the so-called script was nothing but a bunch of blank pages, with a room card tucked inside.

Fang Yuan immediately understood, this was not about offering her a film role at all!

But she wasn’t in a position to make a scene right now, so she just put away the so-called script and sat down.

Then she called Han Mintao.

…

At twelve noon, instead of waiting for Zhang Fan to come get it, Chen Yu had Han Cai deliver the eight pounds of braised meat they had set aside.

But it was less than ten minutes later when Zhang Fan came in, bringing with him eight strapping men in full spirit.

“Old Chen, make it twenty more pounds for me. These brothers of mine have just come back from fixing cars in the wilderness, and they need to replenish a lot of energy.”

The eight sturdy men were already eagerly looking at Chen Yu.

It was clear at first glance that these eight were rescue firefighters from the outskirts.

They usually volunteered for emergency rescues or handled community fires.

Judging by their weary appearance, this mission must have been hard on them.

Chen Yu immediately cut out twenty-six pounds of meat and handed it over, “The extra six pounds is on me.”

“How can we accept that?” one of the sturdy men objected, “This braised meat is so delicious that we’d find fifty too cheap. Now you’re giving us an extra six pounds as if looking down on us?”

Saying so, the sturdy man counted out thirteen hundred yuan in cash and slapped it on the counter.

Zhang Fan quickly stepped forward to intervene, “It’s already been agreed that I’m treating everyone today. Besides, with the relationship between Old Chen and me, is there any need for you guys to pay?”

With that, Zhang Fan scanned thirteen hundred yuan on the adjacent payment code.

Li Yu, who was responsible for the cash register today, had the sense to quickly take the thirteen hundred yuan in cash and stuff it back into the sturdy man’s hand.
