”Haven't seen you in a long time, don't you miss me?”
Jiang Chen could very well imagine her watery eyes looking at him filled with fervor.
”Uh, very much.” Jiang Chen took a peek at Xia Shiyu.
Xia Shiyu had already taken off her eyes from his phone, but her action looked unnatural no matter how you looked at it.
”So cold.” Liu Yao instantly sensed that Jiang Chen was distracted and stuck her tongue out.
”I'm driving... How have you been?” While holding onto the wheel, Jiang Chen changed the topic.
”I've been filming and have been busy since this morning, so I ate lunch and dinner at the same time. I'm exhausted.” Although she was complaining, Jiang Chen could hear genuine happiness from her voice.
She really loved acting.
If she just liked money, with the allowance Jiang Chen was giving her, she could just do absolutely nothing and enjoy life.
He could faintly hear the other casts in the background, so she must have called despite her extremely busy schedule.
”Have you not eaten yet?”
”I am not eating. Woo, the food here tastes so bad, so I want you to treat me to a meal,” Liu Yao said shyly.
”We can talk about it once you're no longer busy.”
”Okay. Also, when are we going to go on a vacation? I'm looking forward to it,” Liu Yao responded enthusiastically.
”We'll go this month, but would you be able to leave at this time?” Hearing the delighted voice, Jiang Chen couldn't stop smiling.
”Haha, don't you remember that you're one of the investors? The director would have to listen to you. Postponing my shooting and filming it later would simply be up to you,” she said in an adorable voice.
Jiang Chen pondered on it and realized that it was indeed the case.
The producer did not necessarily choose Liu Yao because of her ability, and it might as well be said that it was due to Jiang Chen's ability. But Jiang Chen didn't mind. Having too much money, he immediately invested 100 million RMB to become the biggest investor in <Ma Dongmei's Trouble> film.
Other than those blockbuster film directors, the investor was the bane of existence for any film directors. If they accidentally got off on the wrong foot, the investors could just withdraw their investment, and the directors would end up crying over their script. Where would you find an investor who would be willing to invest 100 million without putting up any demand?
Ad such, Liu Yao had landed the role of a supporting actress.
At the same time, all mobile boot interface was replaced by Future 1.0’s opening animation.
”That’s true.” Once realization dawned on him, Jiang Chen chuckled.
”What are you doing now?”
”Taking someone to dinner.”
”Someone beautiful?” Liu Yao pouted.
”Yes,” Jiang Chen answered honestly.
”As pretty as me?” Liu Yao elegantly ate her meal, her eyes becoming cunning.
”Both of you are unique,” Jiang Chen’s answer was ambiguous.
”Woo, I don’t feel satisfied with that answer. What kind of girl is she?”
[She's beside me, how am I supposed to answer that?]
Jiang Chen took a peek at Xia Shiyu while he responded cleverly and creatively.
”Similar…to the section head in your last movie.”
”Oh! Her, the ice beauty that’s warm on the inside? I can do it too,” Liu Yao paused and put her phone closer to her mouth, covered it with her hand, and lowered her voice, her voice becoming cold and strict. ”Jiang Chen, why didn’t you finish your math homework? What? You didn’t write it? That’s not okay, come to my office, I will watch you finish it. Your unfinished homework. Give. It, All. To. Your. Teacher.”
Jiang Chen could very well fantasize how the vibrant crimson lips enunciated the last syllables.
[Fu*k, this little devil.]
Jiang Chen had almost stepped on the gas by accident.
”Fu*k.”
”Coming! Ah, break time is over, I'm going to hang up. Mwah.”
As soon as she hung up the phone, Jiang Chen let out a breath and removed the Bluetooth headset.
”…were you really just concerned about Liu Yao?” Xia Shiyu asked dubiously.
”Well, I just happened to get her phone number.”
