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

Bai Lu's smile abruptly stopped, her hand still frozen in mid-air, her whole body stiffened.

It's over.

She forgot that she was still trying to cultivate a quiet and gentle image.

Meng Ziyi stared at her in disbelief: "Mengyan, you..."

Bai Lu slowly lowered her hand, looking around nervously, tossing her hair, scratching her head, and picking at the tablecloth with her fingers.

The private room was silent for a few seconds.

Bai Lu forced a smile and looked at Zhou Jin and Meng Ziyi, saying, "Ahem, would you believe me if I said I was possessed by a ghost just now?"

Meng Ziyi and Zhou Jin exchanged a glance and then burst out laughing at the same time.

Zhou Jin knew Bai Lu's true personality, but this was the first time she had witnessed Bai Lu's attempt to act like a lady backfire, and she felt a little emotional.

Meng Ziyi didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he thought the egret was much cuter this way than when it was acting all prim and proper.

The egret breathed a sigh of relief when it saw that the two of them were laughing.

Now that her image as a quiet, gentle woman had crumbled, she was too lazy to pretend anymore. She leaned back in her chair, picked up her chopsticks, took a big bite of food, and began to show her true self.

Meng Ziyi was originally a pure, simple-minded beauty who couldn't keep anything to herself and always laid everything out in the open.

Egret also has a carefree personality; she dares to say anything and has a sharp tongue.

The three of them got along very well as they chatted, and when it was time to part, Meng Ziyi looked at Zhou Jin with a reluctant expression.

The more she learned about Zhou Jin, the more she realized that he was not only handsome, but also witty and humorous.

Most importantly, she never felt uncomfortable around Zhou Jin.

Because of her good family background and her good looks, she has always felt somewhat uncomfortable when interacting with other friends since she was a child.

Sometimes she can't tell, but her intuition is very accurate. Sometimes even if the other person doesn't say it, she can vaguely sense that they are ostracizing her.

Therefore, she really enjoyed spending time with Zhou Jin.

After finishing their meal, Meng Ziyi put his arm around Bai Lu's shoulder and waved to Zhou Jin, saying, "Bye-bye, we're going back now."

"You live together?" Zhou Jin was taken aback.

Meng Ziyi explained, "After all, I wanted to audition for an acting role, so I rented a place after leaving school. It just so happened that Mengyan was also looking for a place, so we rented together."

"Oh, I see."

"Bye-Bye."

Zhou Jin took a taxi back to the hotel she had booked.

Lying on the soft, large bed in the hotel, a system notification sounded.

[Host detected engaging in ordinary interaction with top-tier actress Bai Lu. Reward: Strength +3, Acting Skills +3.]

[Strength 78→83]

[Acting skills 60→63]

Zhou Jin didn't expect that the reward she received from interacting with the egret this time would not be a reward item, but a reward attribute.

However, attributes are also very important.

This can directly improve his overall quality.

Zhou Jin felt his muscles getting hot and itchy, and soon he could clearly feel that his physical strength had increased.

Zhou Jin clenched her fist tightly, somewhat surprised. So this was the effect of increased strength!

However, despite the improvement in acting skills, there was little reaction.

It had been a long time since Zhou Jin had checked his attributes, so he silently repeated "Check attributes" again.

Name: Zhou Jin

Age: 35, Height: 183cm, Weight: 80kg

[Base Attributes: Strength 83, Stamina 65, Agility 58]

[Superstar Attributes: Appearance 91, Acting Skills 63, Singing Skills 50]

[Work: Gu Jian Qi Tan (unreleased)]

[Entries: Vigorous and powerful, chivalrous and upright, deeply affectionate and reserved, period costume appearance, deeply moving, martial arts skills]

Assets: Balance of 108,000 yuan

Zhou Jin looked at her personal panel with satisfaction.

I need to find a place to live in Yanjing for the next couple of days; I can't stay in hotels every day.

After renting the house, I'll look for a suitable film crew.

His 100,000 yuan salary for filming "Swords of Legends" can sustain him in Yanjing for a while, but he can't just sit around and live off his savings.

Moreover, he is now eager to make his mark in the entertainment industry.

……

In the rented room.

Meng Ziyi and Bai Lu threw themselves into the sofa, stretching out their legs and sinking into the soft cushions, not wanting to move.

Bai Lu tilted her head and asked curiously, "You've been so secretive about this before, can you tell me now? What exactly did Zhou Jin act in?"

Meng Ziyi casually remarked, "He's the fourth male lead in 'Swords of Legends,' and he even trended on social media before."

The egret opened its mouth in surprise.

She had heard of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

It's a big-budget production with a star-studded cast, and the female lead is none other than the wildly popular Yang Mi.

How could a newcomer who just debuted be able to play the fourth male lead in a drama of this caliber?

However, upon further reflection, considering Zhou Jin's face and his witty and humorous manner during the meal, she realized it made perfect sense.

With such a big production and her looks, as long as her acting isn't disastrous, she has a feeling that Zhou Jin will definitely become a national sensation.

Bai Lu suddenly remembered joking with Meng Ziyi before, saying that he would NTR her severely.

It was just a joke back then, but now she's actually starting to feel something for him.

Meng Ziyi suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, has a third roommate been found yet?"

Bai Lu sighed helplessly, "I've asked several model friends to come and see this place, and they all like it. The location of this apartment we're renting is good, the decoration is nice, the community environment is good, and the soundproofing of each room is also good. But even if three people share it, the rent of three thousand a month is still too expensive for them."

Bai Lu is beautiful and has a great figure. As a Taobao model, she charges significantly higher prices than her peers.

She can afford to spend three thousand a month to rent a house, but her model friends don't have that much spare money.

"The rent is nine thousand a month. If it's just the two of us renting it, it'll be four thousand five each," Bailu said, counting on her fingers.

Mencius frowned.

She is currently a freshman at Beijing Film Academy.

Her family supports her becoming an actress, but they clearly disagree with her moving out of the school and living on her own so early.

So, Sister Meng, who used to have plenty of pocket money, is now in a somewhat "tight" financial situation.

A thought suddenly popped into Meng Ziyi's mind, and she blurted out, "How about we find Zhou Jin to share an apartment?"

Egret: "..."

As soon as he said it, Meng Ziyi regretted it.

She slapped her forehead, about to say "Never mind, forget I said anything," when she heard Bai Lu's voice coming from beside her.

"If you want, I have no objection."

Meng Ziyi's eyes widened immediately.

What's going on?!

Why did the egret agree?

Mencius was immediately at a loss.

She just blurted it out; she didn't really think that way.

Besides, who says she has no objections? She does have objections!

"But he's a man after all," Meng Ziyi stammered. "Wouldn't it be a little inappropriate for two girls like us to share an apartment with him...?"

Bai Lu glanced at her, then, having the idea to tease the amusing "Sister Meng," said seriously, "Actually, I kind of like him."

"Huh? You really want to NTR me?" Meng Ziyi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide.
