Huayu: Just entered the industry, and was pursued by a young actress.

Zhou Jin chose a famous hot pot restaurant near Hengdian, which has been frequented by many celebrities and actors.

Zhou Jin pushed open the door and entered. The restaurant was decorated in a very stylish way, with soft lighting and a faint aroma of hot pot wafting through the corridor.

A pretty waitress was standing at the front desk. When she saw Zhou Jin walk in, her eyes lit up.

However, having seen many celebrities in the store, she quickly regained her professional smile and politely asked, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

"His surname is Zhou."

"Yes, sir, room 323, please follow me."

Zhou Jin followed the waiter into the private room, which was empty at the moment.

Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi haven't arrived yet.

He had just taken out his phone when a familiar voice rang out from the doorway.

"Zhou Jin".

Zhou Jin looked up and saw Li Yitong standing at the door of the private room, smiling and waving at him: "Good evening."

She wore a light blue slip dress tonight, the hem of which reached mid-thigh, revealing her two straight and slender legs.

She wore light makeup, her skin was fair with a rosy glow, and her lips were coated with a thin layer of glossy lip gloss.

What's most captivating about her are her eyes.

When she smiles, her eyes curve into two crescent moons, with the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, as if her entire face is illuminated by those eyes.

Zhou Jin looked at her, and her heart stirred slightly.

She truly deserves the title of a beautiful woman with smiling eyes; her smile is absolutely gorgeous.

"You're here, have a seat." Zhou Jin invited her to sit down.

The two chatted for a while, sharing their experiences over the past few days.

Li Yitong listened to him talk, resting her chin on her hand, and recounted the interesting things that happened on set, occasionally breaking into a smile.

After chatting for a few minutes, Li Yitong asked curiously, "When is the president of your fan club arriving?"

Zhou Jin glanced at her phone: "She'll be there soon. She said she just got out of the taxi."

After a while, the door to the private room was pushed open.

A bright and elegant woman walked in.

Zhou Jin recognized him at a glance; it was indeed Meng Ziyi.

She was wearing a red, fitted dress, her skin was so white it seemed to glow, and she wore a pair of black stiletto sandals.

Her features were striking: thick eyebrows, large, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and full lips.

Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead and delicate face. Standing there, she looked like a ripe cherry, dazzlingly bright.

Zhou Jin recognized her at a glance, stood up and politely extended his hand: "Zhou Jin."

"Mencius's meaning."

Mencius generously grasped his hand; his palm was warm, and his grip was firm and decisive.

Zhou Jin looked at her and felt a surge of admiration.

He knew something about Meng Ziyi from his previous life.

Her personality is definitely that of a silly beauty; her brain always catches up with her body.

But at least on the surface, when she doesn't speak, she is the kind of stunningly beautiful woman who is so captivating that you can't take your eyes off her.

[The host engages in a normal interaction with top celebrity Meng Ziyi. Reward: Random beginner-level abbreviation.]

[Should we extract basic terms?]

Zhou Jin was certain of it.

A slot machine appeared on the light screen, and the patterns on it kept scrolling.

[Entry successfully extracted – Initial entry: Deep Affection.]

[Entry effect: It possesses a strong and sincere emotional aura, naturally drawing the audience into the scene and allowing them to empathize and engage with the character, resulting in a more emotionally charged and committed performance.]

Zhou Jin's eyes lit up.

When the acting skills differ too much, even if one actor's acting is excellent, there will still be a sense of disconnect.

This was especially evident when he acted opposite Dilraba, but this wouldn't be the case with this entry.

Meanwhile, inside the private room...

Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi's eyes met briefly in mid-air.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

So beautiful.

So beautiful.

The same thought popped into both of their minds at the same time.

"Li Yitong".

"Mencius's meaning."

After the two women finished introducing themselves, they nodded slightly and sat down on either side of Zhou Jin in a tacit manner.

Both of them were confident in their beauty and dressed up carefully today, trying to outshine each other, but they were both more beautiful than the other.

Both women were somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

Li Yitong was the first to suggest, "Let's add each other as friends."

"Okay." Meng Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief and readily agreed.

Sister Meng is indeed not good at handling this kind of thing.

Zhou Jin noticed the subtle awkwardness in the air, so she looked at Meng Ziyi and took the initiative to start a conversation: "I remember you're a freshman at the Beijing Film Academy, right? What made you decide to come to Hengdian to see me?"

"Actually, I want to enter the entertainment industry," Meng Ziyi said earnestly, putting down her chopsticks.

Zhou Jin said helplessly, "Then you've come to the wrong person. I'm just a newcomer in the entertainment industry."

"I know. But it's okay, I can bring my own funding to get into the production." Meng Ziyi said matter-of-factly, "I mainly want to see how different you are in person from your photos, and also ask if you have any connections."

Zhou Jin: "..."

Li Yitong: "..."

It's said that Mencius spoke directly, but this was perhaps a bit too direct.

Zhou Jin suddenly remembered that Meng Ziyi's family background was indeed very affluent.

He explained helplessly, "For slightly larger productions, investors come in droves, but the production team doesn't accept just any amount of money."

"what?"

Meng Ziyi stared wide-eyed in surprise.

This did indeed touch upon some areas where her knowledge was lacking.

"Is your crew still short of people?" she asked again.

Zhou Jin sighed, "We'll be wrapping up filming in a little while, how could we possibly be short-staffed?"

Meng Ziyi looked dejected, her shoulders slumped. But she quickly cheered herself up, picked up her chopsticks, and said, "It's okay, I'll keep looking, there'll always be opportunities to act."

Glug glug.

The hot pot was boiling, and the freshly added meat rolls were already cooked, tumbling in the red broth.

Meng Ziyi immediately put her earlier disappointment behind her, picked up a meat roll with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.

Zhou Jin turned to Li Yitong and asked, "How's your short film coming along?"

"A movie? That's amazing." Meng Ziyi, who was eating a meat roll, looked up and exclaimed indistinctly.

Li Yitong waved her hand sheepishly: "It's just a seven-minute short film I made for a friend, not a real movie."

"That's really impressive," Meng Ziyi praised sincerely.

Li Yitong smiled, her impression of Meng Ziyi improving considerably.

She initially thought the other person was a scheming girl, but after getting to know her, she found her personality to be surprisingly easy to get along with.

"Are you done filming?" Zhou Jin asked.

"Filming was finished a long time ago," Li Yitong said. "Recently, I've been sending audition materials to various production teams to see if there are any suitable roles."

"I'm so envious." Meng Ziyi rested her chin on her hand, her eyes full of anticipation. "I want to act too."

Zhou Jin didn't reply, but secretly thought to herself, according to the normal timeline.

Meng Ziyi will debut in 2014 with the film "God of War Zhao Yun", and Li Yitong will debut in 2015 with the film "Demon Girl".

But now, due to his influence, Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong have both started to enter the entertainment industry ahead of schedule.

Who knows how big a storm will eventually be stirred up by the flapping of a little butterfly's wings?
