Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

Chapter 106: How to Control the Elders?

Tan Wen waved his somewhat stiff hand: "Hello, uncles and aunts, I'm Tan Wen."

Lu Zheng and Wu Lan stared coldly at Tan Wen without responding.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Liu Haochun came up to her and said, "Hello, uncles and aunts, my name is Liu Haochun, and I'm a little kid."

The two elders saw a pair of lively and bright eyes on the screen and thought to themselves that this girl was exquisitely beautiful, no wonder Tan Wen was willing to go on a date with her.

"Hello Haochun, Xiaoxiao mentioned you to us, saying you are a very outstanding girl."

The moment Liu Haochun appeared on the screen, the two elders' expressions softened.

"Thank you, Uncle and Auntie." Liu Haochun appropriately showed a shy expression.

After exchanging pleasantries and maintaining a harmonious atmosphere, Wu Lan suddenly changed the subject: "You went on a date with Tan Wen today, right?"

"Yes, Auntie."

"Did you have fun?"

"It was great. We went to open a pearl shop and also went to see a Yue opera."

Wu Lan saw Liu Haochun wearing a pearl necklace, opened her mouth slightly, but ultimately didn't ask.

"According to Xiaoxiao, your date was supposed to last two days and one night. Why are you back so early?"

"Well... there were other plans, but someone said he was tired, so we had to go back to the cabin."

Hearing this, Wu Lan and Lu Zheng felt a little better.

Lu Zheng: "Haochun, do you also like that kid Tan Wen?"

"Oh, Dad." Lu Yuxiao quickly put away his phone. "It's impolite of you to ask someone like that."

Lu Zheng snorted, "Have Tan Wen answer the phone."

Tan Wen had already fled the scene and was in the kitchen making a late-night snack for Lu Yu.

Seeing Lu Yuxiao approaching with her phone, Tan Wen knew there was no way to avoid it. She straightened her crestfallen expression and instantly became harmless.

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie, I'm making a late-night snack for Lu Yu. Don't worry, I won't make too much; it's not good to eat too much late at night."

After Tan Wen finished speaking, the two elders' initial anger subsided slightly.

Lu Zheng: "Xiao Xiao, did you introduce two projects to her?"

"Hey, it's nothing, not worth mentioning."

"What kind of projects are they? Would you mind telling me?" Lu Zheng pressed, needing to determine whether the two projects were legitimate and suitable for his daughter.

"You should know Teacher Zhang Songwen, right? The first project was to have Lu Yuxiao learn to perform with Zhang Songwen."

Tan Wen specifically mentioned Zhang Songwen to reassure Lu Zheng. People of his generation probably don't know any popular celebrities, but they are likely to know Zhang Songwen.

As expected, Lu Zheng was somewhat surprised. He nodded, and Wu Lan asked, "What about the second project?"

"It's a web series, filmed in Shanghai. You two live in Shanghai, right? I was thinking that if Lu Yu could film in Shanghai, the family could have meals together more often, so I introduced her to it."

Lu Zheng and Wu Lan exchanged a glance. Tan Wen had handled things so thoroughly that the couple had nothing more to say.

"When did you come to Shanghai? Come over for a meal, and we can have a drink," Lu Zheng said casually.

After hearing Lu Zheng's words, Tan Wen knew that he had passed this hurdle.

"I will do as you say. If I go to Shanghai, I will visit you two as soon as possible."

"Give the phone to Xiaoxiao, and also, put less chili in it."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zheng sighed.

Wu Lan: "Is there anything else you're worried about?"

"No." Lu Zheng shook his head. "Tan Wen is a very mature child, and he is genuinely kind to Xiao Xiao."

Wu Lan: "Yes, this child is a thoughtful person who considers things carefully and is considerate of us. He even introduced Xiaoxiao to a job near her home."

Lu Zheng: "This kid really put in a lot of effort to find Zhang Songwen to be Xiaoxiao's teacher."

He sighed again after saying that.

Wu Lan said with some dissatisfaction, "You already acknowledge that he's good, so why are you sighing?"

Lu Zheng: "I do acknowledge his good qualities, but I don't approve of his character. If he's willing to put in so much effort for Xiaoxiao now, will he do the same for other girls in the future?"

"He wouldn't dare!" Wu Lan sat up straight. "Are you worried about his character?"

Lu Zheng shook his head: "Let's talk about it after he comes to our house for a meal."

"Have you made an appointment with Ma Xuan?"

As the three of them ate their late-night snack, Tan Wen casually asked Lu Yu a question.

"I rushed back two days later, before the confession night. I had already asked Director Lei for leave."

Lu Yu gave a brief explanation, without mentioning that Tan Wen should accompany her. On the one hand, Liu Haochun was nearby, and on the other hand, she was not too willing to trouble others.

Tan Wen nodded: "If I'm free, I'll go with you."

Lu Yu gave a soft "hmm," keeping her head down and not looking at Liu Haochun's expression.

Liu Haochun put down the bowl he had only eaten a little from, and said, "I'm full."

She left after saying goodbye, her attitude somewhat cold.

Tan Wen mentally gave Liu Haochun a thumbs up for their tacit understanding; the "conflict" between the two had already begun to unfold at this moment.

[Sigh, how could he say something like that in front of Liu Haochun? It's too easy for people to misunderstand.]

[I always knew Tan Wen cared most about Xiao Xiao; how could he possibly fall for someone else?]

[In that case, he shouldn't have been flirting with Liu Haochun; it's unfair to her.]

I don't know if Tan Gou did it on purpose or not, but he and Junko are a perfect match.

These girls are all great; it would be even better if they weren't dating.

"Why don't you go check on Chunzi? After all, she's your date these days," Lu Yu said worriedly.

"It's nothing. By the way, did you get the audition script?"

Seeing that Tan Wen was changing the subject, Lu Yuxiao didn't insist. She hummed in agreement, "Could you take a look for me later? If..."

If you can, come with me to rehearse.

"No problem." Tan Wen readily agreed. "After dinner, go to my balcony. I need to discuss some things with you beforehand about the confession night."

Lu Yu waited a moment before nodding. She was a little nervous because she hadn't decided whether to make their relationship public or maintain a secret relationship for a while.

If she chose the second option, she wasn't sure if Tan Wen would understand, or if he would walk away because of it.

At midnight, Lu Yuxiao came out of Tan Wen's room. She gently rubbed her lips with her index finger knuckle, her expression neither good nor bad.

The next day at noon, Tan Wen woke up, having slept very well.

As the people who went out on dates gradually returned, the cabin became lively again. They curiously asked each other about the things they had done, and everyone was in a good mood.

Tan Wen greeted everyone and prepared to make something simple to eat, only to find Liu Haochun in the kitchen.

"Want me to add another serving?" Liu Haochun asked.

-

"OK."

The two were eating hot and sour noodles.

"By the way, you said last night that you've been lying to me lately. I'm curious what you've been lying to me about?"

Tan Wen casually asked while slurping his noodles.

"It doesn't matter if it's in the cabin anymore. If you're still curious in the future, just ask me again, and I'll tell you the answer."

Tan Wen pouted: "You're being so mysterious. What are your plans for this afternoon? I'll still cooperate with you today."

"Then let's try acting. Like you said, let's try our best to make the 'Little Red Flower' project a success, and each of us can win an award in the future."

"Okay, but you'll have to bring Lu Yu along. You need to help her improve her professional skills."

Liu Haochun paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, you wash the dishes."

Watching Liu Haochun's departing figure, he couldn't tell whether her acting was superb or she was genuinely emotional.

In the afternoon, in the workroom on the third floor.

Liu Haochun patiently helped Lu Yuxiao rehearse the scene again and again.

Liu Haochun offered his opinions on each aspect, including demeanor, eyes, body language, and even the tone of voice when delivering lines.

Lu Yu listened attentively. Although Liu Haochun was younger than her, he did give people a more convincing feeling.

Tan Wen sat to the side, drinking tea and watching this harmonious scene, feeling very comforted.

Occasionally, when Liu Haochun said something incorrect, he would point it out with a word or two, and although Liu Haochun was dissatisfied, he couldn't refute it.

"Haochun, can I talk to you?"

Gu Beiyu walked over at some point, and William was watching from a distance.
