This is the consequence of being too quick with one’s words.
Zhou Yun and Song Chi looked at each other, at a loss for words.
Lew Yuan smiled and said, "It’s not the ti when you guys invited but I didn’t show up, is it?"
Lew Yuan provided a step for them to descend without embarrassnt, effectively defusing the situation.
Song Chi nodded and said, "Yeah, that’s right."
Lew Yuan: "Well, that’s really a pity. I must try it next ti for sure."
After lunch, Lew Yuan chatted with Zhou Yun and Song Chi.
Actually, it was all very everyday conversation, but because the topics were related to the entertainnt industry and the pursuit of fa and wealth, they were more interesting.
Lew Yuan talked about his early days in the industry, his first ti hosting a show, how nervous he was, how he stuttered, and he also ntioned how impressive Song Chi was since his debut, receiving acclaim for all his works.
"I really admire this about Xiao Chi. Look at how many films he’s done, they’re both critically acclaid and comrcially successful, and he’s even received several significant award nominations. He’s still young and could continue in this vein, but he wants to transform himself and strive for more, choosing to take part in ’Heart Inquiry’. That’s pretty bold, daring to leave his comfort zone to tackle such a niche the."
Song Chi hastily waved his hands, saying, "Brother Lew, don’t flatter too much, or the audience will say you’re a hired supporter."
Lew Yuan laughed heartily, saying, "I’ve been in this business for so many years now. If I could still be hired as a plant that easily, it would have been a waste of ti."
Zhou Yun joined in the laughter.
Suddenly, Song Chi had an idea.
He said, "Brother Lew, do you know why Zhou Yun and I have been seeing each other frequently and even went on this show together?"
Lew Yuan shook his head, "What, are you two really in a relationship?"
Song Chi let out a helpless sigh, saying, "Of course not."
Lew Yuan, of course, knew that, but by saying it that way, he made the unclear things clear.
"Why then?" Lew Yuan asked.
Song Chi said, "Because Zhou Yun is also going to be in ’Heart Inquiry’. She’s one of the main leads."
Lew Yuan showed a surprised expression, "Really?"
Song Chi: "Really, this information wasn’t announced before, but it’s already been decided."
"I see." Lew Yuan seed excited.
Zhou Yun was also a bit surprised; she hadn’t expected Song Chi to announce it just like that.
Once this episode aired, it would be the sa as making an official announcent.
"Zhou Yun is very suitable for that role, so I sent her an invitation and we t several tis to discuss it."
Song Chi was providing cover for the several tis they had been photographed together before. Their private etings were for work, for the show.
"That’s great, now I’m even more looking forward to your show," Lew Yuan said.
After leaving Lew Yuan’s house, Zhou Yun had to hurry to her next engagent.
They split up downstairs and got into their respective cars.
Song Chi sent a ssage, saying: Don’t feel pressured, if Brother Lew hadn’t helped out, I would have made sure that part was cut out.
Zhou Yun: Sigh, I am too inexperienced, I accidentally revealed too much.
Song Chi: Once you participate in more reality shows, you’ll learn how to handle these situations.
Zhou Yun: I hope so.
Song Chi: What do you have this afternoon?
Zhou Yun: I have to attend a brand launch event.
Song Chi: Are you the spokesperson?
Zhou Yun: No, just attending.
Song Chi: Then what’s the use of going?
Zhou Yun: Don’t pretend you don’t understand the struggle. Nowadays, to get brand endorsents, you have to show your interest first. Plus, the appearance fee they’re offering isn’t low, why should I refuse it?
Song Chi: You sure talk a lot.
Zhou Yun was really annoyed, turned off her phone, and didn’t want to bother with Song Chi anymore.
A few seconds later, Zhou Yun opened her eyes again, picked up the phone, and sent a ssage to Zhou Lan: Sister Lan, Song Chi just ntioned in front of the cara that I’ll also be performing in ’Heart Inquiry’.
Zhou Lan replied instantly: Okay, I’ll communicate with the show’s staff about the airing schedule to coordinate with the publicity.
Thinking the conversation had ended there, but then Zhou Lan asked: You and Song Chi had a al together, nothing happened right?
Zhou Yun: What could possibly happen between us having a al?
Zhou Lan: I don’t know, but from what I rember, every ti you two et, sothing definitely happens.
Zhou Yun: Don’t underestimate .
Zhou Lan: This is a matter of experience and probability.
Zhou Yun: Experience and probability, why don’t you go conduct academic research then?
Zhou Lan: Once you beco a big celebrity, there will be plenty of people coming to for academic discussions.
Zhou Yun: You’re so annoying.
Zhou Lan: Don’t forget that President He has invited you to dinner tomorrow.
Zhou Yun: What does he want from inviting to dinner?
Zhou Lan: I guess it’s about Xu Siyao, she’s about to join you in filming ’Eighth Heartbeat’. With your current popularity, he probably wants to persuade you to help boost her a bit.
Zhou Yun: They haven’t given up yet? Haven’t I already refused?
Zhou Lan: You refused the publicity departnt before, not President He himself; he probably thinks he can convince you if he addresses the matter personally.
Zhou Yun: Does he think I’m so foolish as to agree to such a request?
Zhou Lan: See what he says tomorrow.
It was once impossible for Zhou Yun to even get a eting with President He.
Now she sees him often, and each ti they et, there is sothing to discuss. She doesn’t want to see him, yet he insists on it.
Zhou Yun found it extrely ironic.
When they t, as usual, she would be polite, calling out "President He" with a radiant smile.
On the surface, there always has to be civility.
Just like how President He has done so many unscrupulous things in the past, yet he’s still able to act like a benevolent boss who genuinely cares about his artists.
"Look at you; you’ve lost weight! Have you been too busy lately?" President He showed concern as soon as they t.
Zhou Yun smiled and said, "I’ve been busy indeed, President He, I’ve taken on too many jobs."
President He: "You should tell Zhou Lan to schedule less for you, don’t work yourself to exhaustion."
"Alas, she’s already trying to give as much rest as possible, but so jobs can’t simply be turned down. You know this best, President He," Zhou Yun said.
Many of the jobs were actually taken on by President He himself.
President He switched topics, laughing, "Eat more tonight and replenish your strength."
"Absolutely not, if I gain weight, people online will definitely say I’ve ballooned into a pig."
President He: "Why do you even bother with those haters? To them, if you’re not skin and bones, they think you’re too fat. They’re pickier than a needle! You’re so beautiful that even a bit of extra weight looks good on you."
Zhou Yun’s smile swayed charmingly.
It was intentional.
In front of President He, she was determined to show him how good her current state was.
"President He, how do you, a busy man, have the ti to invite for dinner today?" Zhou Yun got straight to the point.
President He: "You’re now the hottest female artist in our company; of course, I have to take extra care of you."
"Don’t say that, President He. Wei Ruxue is just busy filming, not retiring. With her around, I’ll never be the most popular in our company."
