The surprise came too suddenly.
Even Leon Yuan, a grown man, could barely control his emotions at this moment.
The joy overflowing on his face made Mia Miao look radiant, and her spirits lifted as well.
Nearby, Kevin Zhou stared longingly in this direction.
He glanced at Lily Tan beside him.
If Leon Yuan really got Serena Tong’s support, Kevin Zhou’s future would probably be anything but smooth.
Lily Tan gritted her teeth.
She couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity.
She stepped forward and smiled proactively: "Hello, I’m Lily Tan, Kevin Zhou’s agent."
"If there’s a chance in the future, I think we could work together."
After Lily Tan finished speaking,
Queenie Tong didn’t even bother to give her a glance.
Ignored.
Utterly ignored.
From the moment Queenie Tong arrived and started talking to Evan Lin,
she’d been quietly observing everyone.
She might be young, but she’s no fool.
Especially after becoming Serena Tong’s agent, she didn’t learn much about schmoozing, but her ability to read people is top-notch.
That’s why Queenie was willing to show goodwill to Mia Miao and Leon Yuan.
At the same time, she treated Lily Tan and the others over there with cold indifference.
Lily Tan was ignored. She felt a surge of anger, but had no confidence to speak up.
After all, Serena Tong was way out of her league.
"Queenie, about that script I talked to you about before—what did you think?"
Gavin Yu, who’d just been ignored once, suddenly popped up from the other side and stood in front of Queenie Tong, wearing a gentle smile.
There wasn’t the slightest trace of anger on him from being snubbed by Queenie earlier.
All you could see in his eyes was hope.
Like a kid waiting for candy and a gold star.
"Director Yu, you’re here too?"
Queenie Tong looked at Gavin Yu, a bit surprised.
"Ah, I... I just got here."
Gavin Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses.
When they passed by earlier, Queenie Tong really didn’t pay him any attention at all.
She treated him like air, through and through.
This girl had all her focus on that young man.
He was a big‑name director—when had he ever been ignored like this?
Just thinking about it stung.
But Gavin Yu couldn’t even get angry now.
He genuinely wanted Serena Tong to act in his movie. That was his obsession and his hope.
"Mm."
Queenie Tong nodded. "I showed the script you gave me to my sister."
For a moment—
Everyone’s gaze toward Evan Lin changed again.
If before, Queenie Tong’s attitude toward him had made people curious, confused, and a little shocked—
Now, everyone looked at Evan Lin with envy.
Why?
Someone like Serena Tong would decide whether to make a movie, just because of a guy?
How could that not make people uncomfortable?
It was almost as if Serena Tong was making the movie just for him.
Yara Song’s face changed, and Victor Wu’s face turned pale.
Earlier, they thought this guy was just bluffing, that he couldn’t possibly know Serena Tong.
Now, Queenie Tong’s attitude made everything clear.
Not only did he know her, their relationship seemed anything but simple.
What kind of relationship would make Serena Tong ask his opinion before deciding whether to make a movie?
Kevin Zhou’s heart ached—he felt something was seriously wrong.
Lily Tan’s expression soured. She was starting to regret her sharp words earlier—why had she insisted on picking a fight with this guy?
I like it! I really do!
Before Evan Lin could answer, Gavin Yu was already impatient.
He jumped up, rushed over, grabbed Evan Lin’s arm, and stared at him, eyes wide with excitement: “You like it, right?”
Gavin Yu looked at Evan Lin with desperate hope—he really did seem a little pitiful.
Whenever she’s free, I’ll start filming!
Gavin Yu said all this as if it were only natural.
But his words dealt another heavy blow to Yara Song and Kevin Zhou.
A director deciding the filming schedule based on one actor’s availability.
It was like treating the actor as royalty.
Do you like kung fu action films?
Queenie Tong didn’t answer Gavin Yu. Instead, she suddenly turned to Evan Lin and asked, “I’ve read this script. If it’s filmed, it’ll be pretty entertaining.”
What did she mean by that?
Gavin Yu was stunned, and everyone else was too.
They all looked at Evan Lin with strange expressions.
The topic was the movie—whether Serena Tong would take the role.
Queenie Tong, Serena’s manager, actually asked this guy if he liked it.
My sister isn’t all that interested—she’s been saying she’s feeling lazy lately.
Before anyone else could ask, or give Evan Lin a chance to speak—
Queenie Tong went on explaining by herself: “I’ve already turned down more than ten scripts for her.”
But this script stayed. The reason I haven’t rejected it yet is that I thought you might like it.
And my sister thinks so too, so she let me ask you.
If you like it, she’ll do it.
If not, she’ll just keep being lazy.
If he likes it, she’ll do it.
If not, she’ll just keep being lazy?
