Chapter 116 Eat some tofu
The dinner ended and everyone waved goodbye in the parking lot.

The noisy group of people scattered like birds and beasts in the blink of an eye.

"Zunlong has a strange personality. We had two meals together and didn't say more than ten sentences."

Link said as he started the car.

"He seems to be quite introverted and doesn't like socializing. It was probably Chen Chong who asked him to come out and keep her company."

Liu Xiaoli smiled.

"I heard that he likes Chen Chong?"

"It seems so. Chen Chong also knows this, which is why she brought him to the dinner. However, Chen Chong is very strong-willed and likes strong men. Zun Long is too soft and like a grown-up girl. Chen Chong cannot possibly like him."

"It's a pity. Zunlong's face is wasted."

"The most important thing for a man is his ability. Having ability is more important than being handsome."

Liu Xiaoli smiled.

"That's why I keep working hard. I don't just want to be a handsome guy, I want to be a handsome guy with skills."

"Who said you were shameless?"

Liu Xiaoli sneered.

"Mom, my stomach is so bloated."

Liu Qianqian rubbed her belly and hummed.

"Who told you to eat so much? Go back and walk around a bit to digest your food before going to bed."

Liu Xiaoli took a tissue and helped her wipe the oil stains off her face.

"Uncle Lin asked me to eat it. If I didn't want to eat it, Uncle Lin would pick it up for me, and then I would be too full."

"Haha, you are such a heartless little girl. I saw you eating non-stop and thought you liked those dishes, so I kept serving them to you. Now that you are full, you blame me?"

Link laughed.

"Even if I like it, I can't eat three bowls. Uncle Lin, you gave me four bowls. In the end, I didn't finish it and there were still a lot of delicious food left. What a waste."

Liu Xixi kept talking.

"You silly girl, if you can't eat anymore, just say you're full. Who told you to keep eating? I think you're just greedy."

Liu Xiaoli poked her forehead.

"No, I'm not greedy."

Liu Qianqian hugged her arms and said stubbornly.

"Your mother is a glutton. You were born by your mother, so you are also a glutton."

Link laughed.

"Is that so?"

The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Liu Xiaoli.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he is the greedy one."

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Link and said, "Just now at the dinner table, Chen Chong and the others mentioned that it's not easy for Chinese actors. What do you think?"

"I didn't think much about it. Just say whatever you want to say. There's nothing we can't talk about as a family."

Link laughed.

After being taken advantage of by him several times, Liu Xiaoli began to get used to it, and now she doesn't even roll her eyes when she hears such nonsense.

"They invited you to dinner and mentioned that it's not easy for Chinese actors in Hollywood. They wanted to ask for your help to arrange some roles for them in future movies."

"People from a foreign country can understand it."

"Just understand it in your heart. Don't modify the script just to help them. It's not easy for us to gain a foothold in the industry. Sometimes a little negligence will lead to losses in film investment.

If you insert Chinese characters into European and American movies, it will not only not help the box office, but will affect the overall revenue. If the movie loses money at the box office, will they return the salary for the sake of their compatriots?

Certainly not.

No matter how noble people were before, those who come to the United States to make a living will become selfish after being here for a long time. They only care about money and treat their compatriots worse than anyone else. I have been in the United States for more than half a year and have heard of many stories of Chinese people cheating their compatriots.

So when you're making a movie, just focus on making it as you did before, and don't worry about anything else. If someone asks you for a role, let me deal with them."

After Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, she poked him on the back of his shoulder and asked, "Are you listening to me?"

"Listen, you said that when making a movie, you should focus on the movie first and not consider personal relationships or anything like that, right?"

Link smiled.

"Almost. You have such a big career now. Many people are eyeing you, hoping to get a chance to take advantage of you. Chen Chong and others are the same. You should be more careful at this time and don't give them the chance." "You are right. It is better to be safe than sorry. Sister Xiaoli, it is great to have you around."

"Hehe, do you know how good I am now? As long as you don't mess around and don't bully me, I will always treat you well."

In the rearview mirror, Liu Xiaoli's cheeks were rosy, her eyes were bright under the light, and the corners of her thin lips were raised in an alluring arc, sweeter than the candied cherries just now.

"Liu Xiaoli, you are so beautiful."

"Stop talking nonsense and focus on driving."

Liu Xiaoli patted his back in embarrassment.

After sending Liu Xiaoli and the little girl back to Rex Apartment, Link took advantage of the little girl's inattention, hugged Liu Xiaoli and kissed her a few times. When Liu Xiaoli reacted, she almost kicked him to death.

When I got back to the car, I received two messages on my phone.

Chen Chong asked him if he had arrived home yet, saying that she had just had a very pleasant chat with him and hoped to have the chance to invite him to dinner alone.

Link replied: OK, let’s talk about it when we have time.

The other message was from Junmei Wu, who also asked him if he had arrived home and asked him to be careful on the road. She then invited him to her home and said she would cook a lot of Chinese food.

Link also replied yes.

When we drove back to the Golden Oak Apartments, Monica was still awake. She was leaning on the sofa near the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing a pink suspender pajamas, her breasts slightly exposed, a cashmere blanket covering her legs, and her feet with red manicure showing from under the blanket.

There was a glass of red wine on the small table.

Holding the script of "Ace Ventura" in his hand.

This movie tells the story of the Miami football team's mascot dolphin being stolen on the eve of a game. The animal detective played by Jim Carrey is hired to find the dolphin, and a series of nonsensical stories happen during the search.

Monica's original role was the heroine, the beautiful agent of the Miami Dolphins.

After reading the script, Monica thought that the second female role was more interesting and more challenging to play.

The second female lead, Elus, is the villain in the movie, a mature, beautiful and sexy crossdresser, and the murderer who kidnapped the Dolphins mascot.

Director Tom Shadyac also thought that Monica was more suitable to play the second female role.

This role was given to Monica.

"Why don't you turn on the light?"

Link turned on the chandelier in the small living room, making the whole room brighter.

"You're back. The room wasn't this dark when I first read the script."

Monica got up from the sofa, her thick long curly hair draped over her shoulders, her silk pajamas stuck to her plump chest and flat belly, and the curves faintly visible under the hem of her skirt were particularly charming under the light.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Link put his arm around her waist and kissed her.

"I've eaten. I made some pasta while you were away."

"Would you like to eat a little more? We might have done a lot of exercise tonight."

"Haha, then do you still want to eat?"

Monica laughed as she hung on him.

"At the party, you only talk and don't eat much. I can eat more with you."

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

Monica kissed him, put on her slippers and went into the kitchen.

Link took a shower, changed into soft clothes, and arrived at the restaurant. Monica had already prepared the meal, a bowl of fragrant kelp soup and a few slices of hot pizza.

Link wasn't very hungry, so he drank a small bowl of soup.

The two talked about the agency while eating. Originally, he planned to set up an agency and let Monica manage it, and sign Renée Zellweger, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and others.

It’s just that Monica isn’t very interested in starting a business or making money.

Rather than making money from managing a company, she prefers acting, shopping, doing beauty yoga, and taking photos for fashion magazines.

I like everything that keeps me looking beautiful.

Link did not persuade her to pursue a career. Compared to Jennifer, who was more career-oriented, he preferred Monica, who had some career ambition, but not much.

Very Italian style.
