Unexpected.
A pleasant surprise!
Gavin Yu was so excited that even his wine glass trembled in his hand.
Actually, Serena Tong's work schedule is ultimately decided by Queenie Tong.
This time, Gavin Yu came here mainly to ask Serena Tong to agree to star in his movie.
Without Serena Tong, 'China Kung Fu King' has no soul!
"Hey, Serena Tong is here. Didn't you say you know her? Why aren't you going over?"
"Shouldn't you take the initiative when meeting an old friend?"
At this moment, Victor Wu looked at Evan Lin with a face full of contempt.
"No rush."
Evan Lin glanced at him and spoke calmly, "I'll wait for her to come find me."
His words were neither humble nor arrogant, his expression as composed as ever.
"Wait for her to find you?"
Victor Wu laughed, "That's hilarious."
"Who do you think you are?"
"Someone like Serena Tong would come looking for you?"
"You really talk big. Aren't you afraid you'll bite your tongue with all that boasting?"
Victor Wu sneered.
His gaze toward Evan Lin was full of disdain.
"I bet the only reason you dare say something so bold is because Director Gavin Yu is here."
Song Yaar frowned and looked at Lin Yi, as if she could see right through his thoughts: "Director Yu Kaiyuan's reputation and status are right there for everyone to see."
"Once Tong Zixuan finishes with the crowd, if she sees Director Yu Kaiyuan here, she'll definitely come over."
Song Yaar discreetly flattered Director Yu Kaiyuan.
But at this moment, Yu Kaiyuan had no interest in listening to Song Yaar and the others.
He took a brisk step, pushed aside Wu Yue who was standing in front of him, and quickly walked toward Tong Ziqi, who was approaching.
"Haha, Ziqi, long time no see!"
Seeing Tong Ziqi walking over with a light step, Yu Kaiyuan assumed she was just as excited as he was, eager to finalize the script.
Previously, when Yu Kaiyuan brought the script to visit, he never managed to meet Tong Ziqi.
This opportunity was hard to come by.
Yu Kaiyuan was already thinking about what he should say to get her to sign the contract.
If Tong Zixuan joins the movie,
Yu Kaiyuan believes the box office and reputation will both explode!
"See that?"
Wu Yue saw Lin Yi remain silent, so he pointed toward Tong Ziqi: "That person walking over there is Tong Ziqi."
"She's Tong Zixuan's manager now."
"Didn't you say you were close?"
"If you're really so familiar, why hasn't she come over to greet you?"
Wu Yue kicked him when he was down.
Only at moments like this did he feel happy.
Wu Yue was even looking forward to asking Tong Zixuan himself whether she knew this kid when she really arrived.
That's called striking while the iron is hot.
Wu Yue couldn't pick a fight with Lin Yi.
He couldn't win.
If he tried, he'd just get beaten up.
He didn't even have the guts to curse him out.
But making snide remarks and putting others down—that was Wu Yue's specialty.
"How could someone like her possibly know him?"
Tan Lili laughed on the side, "Brother Wu Yue, listen to yourself, that's way off base."
"Whether it's Tong Zixuan or Tong Ziqi, what kind of status do they have?"
"If they really knew this kid, Yuan Liang wouldn't be having such a rough time lately, would he?"
Tan Lili dragged Yuan Liang into her argument.
Yuan Liang and Miao Yu stood there, glanced at Lin Yi beside them, and could only smile bitterly inside.
Zhou Kai got his role thanks to Master Liang Chengbo, who had already fainted.
Lin Yi refused Yu Kaiyuan's offer, so in the end, Yu Kaiyuan probably wouldn't give Yuan Liang the lead role either.
Yuan Liang was a bit exhausted.
"How about we head over there and grab something to eat?"
Yuan Liang thought for a moment and looked at Lin Yi: "There's a pool and billiards over there. We could swim or play a game."
"Yeah, I've always wanted to play billiards. The three of us could have some fun together."
Miao Yu nodded repeatedly from the side.
Lin Yi glanced at them.
Of course, he understood what Miao Yu and Yuan Liang were thinking.
The two were worried that when Tong Ziqi and Tong Zixuan came over, they might really say they didn't know Lin Yi, and he'd be completely embarrassed.
To avoid that situation,
Yuan Liang simply decided not to fight for the role anymore, thinking it was better to leave with Lin Yi now to spare him any potential humiliation.
"Let's wait for Tong Zixuan and the others. No rush."
Lin Yi spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Yuan Liang and Miao Yu could only smile bitterly and sigh.
"Still dreaming?"
Wu Yue sneered, "Tong Zixuan playing billiards with you?"
"That's not just daydreaming anymore—it's pure fantasy!"
Song Yaar was still watching Tong Zixuan, comparing the differences between herself and Tong Zixuan in her mind.
From clothing to looks, to figure and temperament.
Utter defeat.
Even if Song Yaar was unwilling to admit defeat, she had to face the truth.
The Tong Zixuan on TV was nothing compared to the real thing.
Her beauty was almost frightening.
"Leave? Play billiards? Go swimming?"
Song Yaar suddenly grew angry and glared at Yuan Liang: "You just had to knock over the cake and dirty my dress. And now you still want to go play?"
Song Yaar pinned the blame on Yuan Liang.
If he hadn't dirtied her dress, maybe Song Yaar could have competed with Tong Zixuan?
