Chapter 70 Ordinary Man, Really Down
Chapter 70 Ordinary Man, Really Down
In scenes featuring the Night Cinema Emperor, virtually every frame is uncut. They must quickly groom themselves to present their most perfect appearance.
Wu Xu finished his lunch in five minutes and silently left the restaurant.
Song Yifei glanced at him almost imperceptibly, and murmured, "Grandpa Wu is so quiet today, it's so strange!"
Then, she smiled at the two men and said softly, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Teacher Ye and Brother Zheyi!"
Zhong Zheyi smiled and replied, "Same to you."
Ye Jingke politely nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then pulled over the fried rice, taking a bite of vegetables and a bite of rice, elegant and composed.
Song Yifei knew that a simple greeting was not enough to please the aloof and godlike Ye Yingdi. She rolled her eyes and moved to the seat where Cheng Ai had been sitting. She fawned over all the dishes and pulled them closer, saying, "Teacher Ye, please eat more. If you're not full, I'll get you more."
Ye Jingke glanced at her indifferently and ignored her.
He despises this kind of hypocritical woman from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for the cameras, he would most likely have kicked her out on the spot!
Song Yifei awkwardly shrank her neck, clenching her fists under the table to encourage herself.
After calming herself down, she tried to be attentive again, but Ye Jingke remained cold and aloof, which left her feeling quite frustrated.
It's really unpleasant to be met with indifference or coldness!
Suddenly, Hao Jian arrived gracefully, dressed in a pure white suit.
He walked up to Ye Jingke, tossed his hair in what he thought was a cool gesture, and politely introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Ye, I am Hao Jian, Xiao Ai's ex-boyfriend. You can call me Xiao Hao or Xiao Jian."
He spun around on the spot, striking a dashing pose, and said, "I have many strengths. I'm proficient in singing, dancing, and playing music. If Shengding International can invite me to join, I guarantee you'll make a fortune."
Zhong Zheyi's eyes widened, and he almost spat out his drink. How dare he show off in front of the seven-time Golden Horse Award winner?
Song Yifei looked like she'd seen a ghost, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Pu Xinnan, he's really something!
By this time, Ye Jingke had almost finished eating. He slowly wiped his mouth and calmly ordered, "Zheyi, find a quiet place. I need to discuss some business with you."
"Yes!" Zhong Zheyi quickly stood up and respectfully agreed.
Song Yifei's eyes turned red with jealousy, but unfortunately, she wasn't Ye Yingdi's artist, so following him wouldn't help.
Hao Jian sneered and sat down to eat his food like crazy.
Even Cheng Ai, who has no outstanding qualities, was able to win the favor of the Night Movie Emperor, so he was confident that he would also succeed.
After a whirlwind of eating, he patted his belly and licked his tongue with lingering satisfaction.
Ah~ the feeling of eating and drinking for free~ it's so awesome~
Song Yifei rolled her eyes, pointed at the photographer standing against the wall, and asked in confusion, "The camera's been recording the whole time, are you sure you don't care about your image?"
Hao Jian was stunned, then burst into laughter, "Fei-mei, Fei-mei, you're still too naive."
Song Yifei looked completely bewildered, almost as if she was about to type a question mark.
Hao Jian picked up a chopstick and poked her forehead hard. "Use your pig brain to think about it. I'm about to become a signed artist with Shengding International. Do you think I would care about such trivial matters?"
He glanced at the photographer, his sarcasm deepening. "Besides, even if I don't perform well, the production team will help me salvage the situation and mold me into a likable character. Therefore, when the variety show airs, every shot, every action, and even every line I say will be spectacular and widely circulated."
Song Yifei listened in stunned silence, and couldn't help but admire him wholeheartedly.
The level of trust they've reached is astonishing; there's no one else like them.
She couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, exclaiming, "Amazing! Amazing!"
The conversation abruptly shifted, and she pressed on with curiosity, "Teacher Ye didn't say anything just now, so why were you so sure he'd sign you? Also, your usual persona is mostly that of a gentle and refined gentleman. Wouldn't it be incongruous to suddenly transform into an arrogant and domineering god-like figure?"
Hao Jian crossed his legs smugly, self-satisfied, "Silence is consent. Once we're out of the castle, he'll definitely come to me to sign a contract. As for the persona you're worried about..."
He paused deliberately, whetting Song Yifei's appetite, and waited until she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan before leisurely opening his mouth, "I don't have a personal cameraman, so there are no close-ups in the first and second episodes. Before the main episode goes online on Sunday, I will re-dub and add a few shots of me struggling to find clues, and that will solve the problem."
Song Yifei's lips twitched. Seeing that he was getting more and more excited, she quickly interrupted, "Stop, stop, stop! You're telling everything all at once. Aren't you afraid I'll tell Teacher Ye?"
"You won't!" Hao Jian said firmly.
"What if?" Song Yifei raised an eyebrow and asked.
Hao Jian stood up and leaned forward slightly, reaching out to hook her chin, his eyes burning, "You can't bear to."
"Huh?" Song Yifei blinked, somewhat confused.
Hao Jian smiled slightly, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "If you love me, you naturally won't betray me."
He had long suspected this, but since he couldn't confirm it, he had to put it aside for the time being.
Now that she praises herself for being amazing, reminds herself to pay attention to her appearance, and worries about her own downfall, her suspicions become even more certain.
As for Song Yifei's fluctuating attitude, it was entirely because Cheng Baoni was always clinging to her, and she was jealous.
Hao Jian was secretly delighted. He climbed onto the dining table, slipped his hand inside her collar, and breathed suggestively into her ear, "Fei, would you be willing to make love with me, join Shengding International, and become a top celebrity couple in the entertainment industry?"
Song Yifei froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Feeling the movement of that large hand, she pushed him away abruptly, took two steps back, her face flushed red, and growled in shame and indignation, "You shameless!"
Hao Jian wasn't annoyed. He raised his hand, brought it close to his nose, and sniffed, grinning with a roguish air. "Fei Mei smells so good, so milky and sweet."
Just then, Cheng Ai came in looking for Ye Jingke. When she saw the scene before her, she was first surprised, then horrified, and finally felt a chill!
Aren't these scumbags afraid of getting sick from having so many affairs?
"Ahhh!" Song Yifei screamed in exasperation, ignoring Cheng Ai's presence, grabbing the leftover food from the table and throwing it at him. "You really are despicable, just like your name, Hao Jian. Look at your sleazy appearance, who else would want you but Cheng Baoni, who is just as heartless?"
Hao Jian, covered in oil, dodged and cursed, "Damn it! You bitch! You clearly like me, but you're pretending to be coy, what a fucking hypocrite!"
He glanced at Cheng Ai with a half-smile, then raised his voice several times, as if trying to draw everyone's attention, "Fei-mei, you should think twice before you speak. After all, my ex-girlfriend is the Xiao Ai-jie you admire so much! Does she also have a heart of stone?"
