A grand feast for the Chinese entertainment industry

Chapter 69 Deceiving a Wife

We agreed to go eat seafood.

But since it wasn't lunchtime after we entered the city, we went for a walk first.

Gao Yuanyuan held Lin Jianlu's hand, looking exceptionally happy, skipping and jumping around as if it were rare for her. When they came across a music store, she suddenly remembered something and went in again to buy a copy of "Cold to the End," an original copy. She asked Lin Jianlu to sign it, and Lin Jianlu took it and casually signed his phone number as well.

She couldn't help but laugh shyly, then feigned a reproach, "Is this how you always pursue girls?"

"Yeah, you bet you fell for it, didn't you?"

"Tch! What are you talking about! I'm not your girlfriend!"

"Hey, that doesn't matter, as long as I'm your boyfriend!"

"Pfft... How annoying!"

She spotted a pair of skinny jeans, but Lin Jianlu held back from praising them—her butt is flat, and wearing such tight pants would only accentuate her weakness. If it were Brigitte Lin, Rosamund Kwan, or Chen Shuhua, well…!

Of course, being two years older would definitely be much better.

While there are certainly some people in this world who blossom at a young age, with curvaceous figures, youthful faces, and large breasts, it is true that the vast majority of girls only gradually develop a fuller figure as they get older.

If we're really talking about body shape these days, people like Gao Yuanyuan and Xu Jinglei are all just plain plain girls!

By extension, Liang Yongqi is so tall, but that doesn't stop her from having an A cup. Wang Fei is actually over 1.7 meters tall, but in the eyes of people in the capital, no, she's still considered a plain-looking girl! Of course, there are differences. Liang Yongqi and Wang Fei both have butts, while Gao Yuanyuan and Xu Jinglei have flat butts.

When it comes to figure, Li Xiaoran is the real bombshell.

Assistant Lin Xilei is next.

"Doesn't it look good?"

"It looks great! I'll buy it!"

"Tch, they must think it looks bad! I'm not buying it!"

"You know what, when you were holding them up to yourself, I thought these pants looked pretty good, but once you took them off, well, they're just so-so, nothing special. I guess I won't buy them!"

"Hahaha!"

She was overjoyed, both happy and shy, "You're talking nonsense!"

After hesitating for a moment, I decided not to buy it. Two hundred yuan is enough for my allowance for two months.

After browsing around for a while, I bought two hair clips, which cost six yuan.

Sigh, if Lin's mother told her future mother-in-law this, she would definitely be happy: she's a good wife!

Back in the car, as they were about to go eat, Lin Jianlu first took out her wallet. "You're in your final year of high school, here's some money for you to buy study materials!" she said, handing over five hundred yuan, her own bag now empty.

She pursed her lips, both happy and proud, "Why would I want your money? I have my own!"

"Then take it back. That's true! You just finished filming a movie, which brought in six thousand yuan! You definitely don't care about my five hundred yuan! Okay, I'll buy you some study materials and test papers tomorrow and bring them to you!"

She chuckled and punched Lin Jianlu's arm with her fist. "I can't even finish all the homework our school gave us, you can't make me do it!" she said, snatching the five hundred yuan away. "I'd rather use it to buy some good food!"

Lin Jianlu smiled and said, "Eat fewer snacks, they're unhealthy. When I get back, I'll take you out for a big meal!"

She gave a haughty snort, clutching five hundred yuan in her hand, and glanced at me sideways, "Hey, Lin Jianlu, why are you so nice to me!"

"What a question! Who doesn't bait the fishing spot first? Who doesn't give a wife a taste of sweetness before trying to lure her home? Otherwise, how can you get her to do your laundry and cook for you!"

"puff……"

She laughed again and snapped at him, "I'm not going to be your wife!"

"Sigh... Actually, I'm alright, really! Except for being a bit of a womanizer and having a lot of rumored girlfriends, I'm pretty good. Look, I don't waste money, I work hard, and I don't indulge in any vices like drinking, gambling, or whoring. Oh, and I'm handsome too. You're not satisfied with someone like me? What kind of person do you want?"

She was laughing so hard, but her eyes were sparkling. "Say that again! What do you mean by 'besides being a bit of a flirt'? Is that even a thing?"

"Hey, you just don't understand, do you? It's good for men to be a little fickle; men who aren't fickle can't make money! You don't understand now, but you will in a few years!"

"Wrong sense!"

As they started the car and were about to leave amidst their laughter, Lin Jianlu's phone suddenly rang. Upon answering, she was surprised to hear it was Zhou Linggang; he had arrived in the capital.

"Hey Zhou, hello! Haha, I'm here! Great! No problem!"

In truth, Lin Jianlu and he weren't particularly close; they hadn't interacted much, having met only three times in total, and only once sharing a meal and conversation. However, Lin Jianlu had done him a huge favor by making a cameo appearance in his drama "Four Daughters" for two or three days—a unique opportunity for him, given to both Taiwan and Hong Kong combined!

A top Asian superstar, a Time magazine cover figure, and the only diamond album king in the Chinese music industry, to have a cameo role in a small Taiwanese drama—that's a very generous favor, and he clearly appreciates it!
Of course, there's a reason—he's one of Taiwan's four major producers, and he has close relationships with Sylvia Chang and Ge Fuhong. He's even like a brother to the man behind Ge Fuhong, so they're all on the same side.

It's pretty good. This person is nice and worth befriending.

He is known for his harsh and stern manner when dealing with crews, actors, and even directors. He is also known for his domineering attitude in the Taiwanese film and television industry. When they ate together, Alyssa Chia often complained about him.

However, he always treated Lin Jianlu as a friend.

That's it.

As long as his attitude is good, Lin Jianlu has always made many friends.

After hanging up the phone, I felt a little awkward, so I explained the situation: "Would you like to come with me? Or, let's go eat first, and after we finish, I'll take you to school, and then I'll go?"

To everyone's surprise, Gao Yuanyuan readily agreed, "I can accompany you! A producer from Taiwan, right?"

"Yes, you know Qiong Yao, right? He and Qiong Yao are the four major producers. Just call him Brother Zhou when you meet him, we'll address each other as brothers."

"Know it!"

Lin Jianlu didn't know that Gao Yuanyuan especially liked accompanying him to meet people.

The time Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie treated her to dinner, she felt really good. Actually, whether you're a boy or a girl, when you're in your teens and about to grow up but haven't really grown up yet, what you lack most is neither money, nor feelings, nor anything else, but rather respect!

The happiest thing for them is to be treated as equals by adults and to be regarded as adults. The worst thing is to be ignored, neglected, disrespected, and not valued!

However, being around Lin Jianlu meant more than just being treated like an adult; everyone treated her like someone important. Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie, both famous actors, were incredibly attentive to her, offering her drinks and food. It was the same on set. Ever since Lin Jianlu shamelessly started flirting with her, everyone from the director Zhang Yang down to the assistant directors and production assistants had stopped finding fault with her and treated her with utmost respect.

She knew, of course, that all this respect came from Lin Jianlu.

She even knew that if it weren't for Lin Jianlu, even if she were to grow up in ten years and continue acting, she would never receive the same level of attention from famous actors and directors like Zhang Guoli and Zhang Yang. But it didn't matter, she liked Lin Jianlu too!

We'll definitely be together in the future!

…………

After arriving at the hotel and parking the car, Lin Jianlu took Gao Yuanyuan's hand and led her upstairs.

On the fourth floor, when Lin Jianlu stepped out of the elevator, she was a little confused—there were many people standing or squatting in the corridor, seemingly waiting for something.

He pulled Gao Yuanyuan's hand and led her through, when suddenly a girl stood up and exclaimed, "Brother Lu?"

Lin Jianlu stopped and turned around. "Hey, Bingbing? What are you doing here?"

It's Li Bingbing (formerly Li Binbin). She previously filmed a music video for Lin Jianlu. Among the six girls in that group, Li Bingbing was second only to Zuo Xiaoqian. She was one of Lin Jianlu's favorites and had high hopes for.

She has a cheerful, boyish air about her that Lin Jianlu admires!

"I'm here for an interview! A Taiwanese film crew is hiring, so I'm coming to try my luck!"

"Oh……"

Just as he was about to say something more, a staff member in the corridor probably recognized Lin Jianlu and tipped him off into the room. At that moment, a hearty voice rang out, "Ah Lu, haha!"

Lin Jianlu turned around and saw that it was Zhou Linggang coming over.

They both laughed, opened their arms, and gave each other a big bear hug.

"You're getting more and more handsome, and I'm getting fatter and fatter! Damn!"

"I'm getting more and more famous!"

"Hahaha! You little rascal! Come on, have some tea first. We're not leaving until we're drunk tonight!"
