Huayu 16: I Became the Dream-Fulfilling Master for Young Actresses

Chapter 95: My senior wants to share a room with me?

He quickly transferred the fiat currency into his account, then logged into the next account, making the second and third transactions at a leisurely pace.

Just after he made his last sale, there was a knock on his office door.

"Enter."

Zhou Ye pushed open the door, holding a bottle of Nongfu Spring water in his arms.

"Senior—have some water? I see you're out of water."

Chen Xingzhou glanced at the water on the table, then looked at her, and nodded. "Leave it there."

Zhou Ye put down the bottled water, but didn't turn around immediately. He gripped the hem of his clothes with his fingers and his lips moved slightly.

"Is there anything else?" Chen Xingzhou glanced at her.

"Um—" Zhou Ye's voice was hesitant, "Sister Lu almost cried in the lounge—"

'

Chen Xingzhou looked at the computer screen and nodded slightly, "Okay, I understand."

"Senior—are you—" Her voice was a little hesitant, wondering if she was being too harsh on him.

Considering he's a director, isn't it normal for him to be strict with the actors?

If she had said that, she probably would have been criticized, so she swallowed her words.

Hearing Zhou Ye's cautious, probing words, Chen Xingzhou said in a deep voice, "Are you trying to say I'm too ruthless?"

"How...how did you know?" Zhou Ye was a little surprised, but immediately lowered his head, seemingly waiting for his criticism.

"Senior—I didn't mean to, it's just—I just felt sorry for Sister Lu—"

Chen Xingzhou chuckled, walked up to her, and ruffled her hair.

"Don't I know what you're thinking?"

Zhou Ye looked up in surprise, only to meet his ambiguous smile. His face quickly turned crimson.

Her earlier advice to Chen Xingzhou not to be too harsh on Bai Mengyan has now been forgotten.

I just wanted to know how well my senior understood me.

Chen Xingzhou withdrew his hand and continued, "Mengyan has been having such a lucky time lately. She was the female lead in 'A Love So Beautiful,' which became a hit right after her debut, and she's still the female lead in 'Go Go Squid!' The audience and investors are all praising her."

"She's only 22 years old, but she's already achieved more than most actresses do in their entire lives."

"If I don't give her a nudge now, she'll lose face when she goes out to act with other people."

Zhou Ye snapped out of his daze, looking shy, and could only pretend he had heard everything, quickly nodding.

"Senior, I understand. I'll try to persuade Sister Lu."

Seeing her feigning understanding, Chen Xingzhou chuckled inwardly, but did not repeat himself.

"By the way, did you manage to contact that company I asked you to contact last time?"

"Oh, that's it!" Zhou Ye's mind immediately cleared up, and he began to report to Chen Xingzhou: "Senior, Feng Ji, the CEO of Game Detective, said that the idea you provided was excellent, and they are also short of money right now. He said that as long as you have time, we can discuss it in detail in person."

They also said—

As Zhou Ye spoke, his eyes grew brighter and brighter as he looked at Chen Xingzhou, his admiration impossible to hide.

"Senior, you're amazing! You even know about games!"

The more she learned about Chen Xingzhou, the more impressive she became of him.

It started with his good looks, then his acting skills, then the director, the filming, the script, and now it's the game.

Who knows what surprises Chen Xingzhou will give her next?

Chen Xingzhou looked down at her and smiled faintly, "Alright, calm down, you're praising me to the skies."

"Hehe—" Zhou Ye chuckled foolishly.

Chen Xingzhou sat back down in his chair and instructed, "You should contact them. Luckily, we don't have any scenes on the 8th or 9th, and Director Mao is keeping an eye on things on the set."

"Huh?!" Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment, then carefully considered his words.

It just so happens that they don't have any scenes together?!

Does this mean the senior is going to take her along?!

"Okay!!! I'll book the tickets right away!"

She turned and ran outside, nearly hitting her forehead on the door frame.

After watching Zhou Ye skip away, Chen Xingzhou realized he had forgotten to tell her about booking a room.

He immediately picked up his phone and sent a message to Zhou Ye:

[Please book a hotel while you're at it; I might be staying there for a couple of days.]

Zhou Ye had just run a short distance from the office when she saw the message, and the blush that had just faded on her face immediately returned.

Hotel? Booking a room? Staying for two days?!

Thinking of this, she immediately looked up and glanced around, but there was no one there.

She leaned against the wall in the corridor, took a deep breath, and her mind raced.

How many rooms do you want to book?

Two rooms?

The senior didn't even say anything.

Did he really forget, or did he forget on purpose?

She bit her lower lip, her finger hesitating over the booking button.

If she booked a room, and the senior didn't mean it that way, she might be so embarrassed that she'd jump off the Shenzhen Bay.

And what would Sister Lu think if she found out?

Zhou Ye wouldn't take advantage of a weakness; that's not her style.

But what if the senior really meant for her to book a room?

Wouldn't she have wasted her time?

Thinking of this, Zhou Ye immediately patted his face to clear his head, muttering softly, "Zhou Ye, Zhou Ye—what are you thinking about—I'm here to talk about serious matters, not to let you daydream."

"I am a professional assistant! I am a professional assistant! I am a professional assistant!!"

After saying that, [粥·坚定·妙想·馋学长身体·也] nodded emphatically and looked down at the screen again.

Her parents love to travel, and she's come to love it too.

After graduating from elementary school, she went to the Cherry Blossom Country; after graduating from junior high school, she went to the White Elephant Country; after graduating from high school, she went to the Thunder Dragon Country and the Snow Mountain Country on the southern slope of the Himalayas.

She was quite adept at booking hotels.

She first selected a double room, then clicked on the quantity selection, muttering, "Two double rooms — two, two rooms —"

In psychology, there is a theory called "prospective memory interference." When the human brain repeatedly recites a number, that number occupies cognitive resources, which may lead to filling in the wrong position or writing the number backwards when performing an operation.

This is the same principle as writing the wrong amount in capital letters on a check, or filling in the wrong answer sheet when you know the answer during an exam.

Then Zhou Ye subconsciously selected a room without realizing it. Thinking he had made his choice, he immediately exited the app and started sending messages to Feng Ji about meeting times.

Filming ended in the evening.

Chen Xingzhou and the three women, Bai Mengyan, walked back towards the hotel.

The film crew happened to be near the hotel, only a few hundred meters away.

Halfway there, Meng Ziyi suddenly asked, "A-Zhou, are you going to Shenzhen the day after tomorrow?"

Bai Mengyan also looked up at him, seemingly a little surprised.

Chen Xingzhou was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he hadn't mentioned this to her.

He watched as she looked at him, then at Meng Ziyi, and felt a little helpless.

I reckon this girl is going to have another internal conflict.

After all, it was something she didn't know, but Meng Ziyi did.

However, he did not comfort her in front of the other two, and Bai Mengyan did not show anything wrong on her face.

"right.

-

Meng Ziyi counted on her fingers, "Hmm—you had no chance those two days, and who else had no chance?"

Zhou Ye glanced at Bai Mengyan, hesitated for a moment, and then said timidly, "Senior, it's me."

"Oh, oh," Meng Ziyi nodded and didn't ask any further questions, but suddenly glanced at Zhou Ye and Chen Xingzhou, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes.

It was perfectly reasonable for Zhou Ye, as Chen Xingzhou's assistant, to go along.

But Zhou Ye is still A Zhou's junior!

Moreover, although she was a bit slow to realize, she could tell that Zhou Ye had a thing for her Ah Zhou.

Now, it's just the two of them going.

Will Ah Zhou eat Xiao Ye?!

Meng Ziyi was a little anxious. Although she said she didn't care that Chen Xingzhou had other women, how could that be?

She was only enduring it for Chen Xingzhou's sake.

Bai Mengyan is not sure yet, but it is probably already her "best friend" Li Yitong.

Now we need to add Zhou Ye too?

She immediately turned to Chen Xingzhou and asked, "Xingzhou, how many rooms did you book?"

Chen Xingzhou was taken aback for a moment, noticed the jealousy in her eyes, chuckled to himself, and gestured to Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye immediately realized what was happening, blushing as he waved his hand, "Senior, there are two double rooms, I definitely can't sleep in the same room as you—"

"That's good." Meng Ziyi finally smiled.

Although she felt Chen Xingzhou was a bit thirsty in bed.

But you wouldn't normally tell he's a womanizer.

Since the two of them are already staying in separate rooms, Chen Xingzhou couldn't possibly still attack Zhou Ye, could he?

She couldn't believe her Ah Zhou was so thirsty!

He is still very clean!

Otherwise, how could desserts be so sweet!

Bai Mengyan listened to their conversation without much reaction. She knew that Zhou Ye was interested in Chen Xingzhou, but she didn't think Zhou Ye would deliberately take advantage of the situation.

The group chatted for a while and soon arrived at the hotel lobby entrance.

Bai Mengyan deliberately lagged half a step behind Chen Xingzhou and walked alongside him, tilting her head to look at him in the lamplight.

He sat on the set all day, his shoulders covered in dust he'd somehow gotten on.

She suddenly remembered that he had called "cut" so many times behind the monitor today, and his voice seemed a little hoarse.

"What time is your flight the day after tomorrow?"

Nine o'clock in the morning.

"Have you packed your luggage?"

"without."

"I'll help you pack later. It's a bit hot at Shenzhen, so I'll pack you a few short-sleeved shirts."

Chen Xingzhou turned to look at her rambling on and on, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to ask why I did that during the day?"

""

Bai Mengyan lowered her eyes, then looked up at him again after two seconds and shook her head: "I don't want to. I'll listen to whatever you say. I won't blame you. Your voice is hoarse, go upstairs and get some water."

Chen Xingzhou was silent for two seconds, then hummed in agreement.

The plane landed at noon, and Zhou Ye performed with exceptional professionalism throughout.

I checked flights, called a taxi, confirmed Feng Ji's meeting time, and even found out what good restaurants were near the hotel.

Sitting in the back seat of the ride-hailing car, she checked her phone while reporting to Chen Xingzhou: "Senior, we'll be at the hotel in three minutes. Mr. Feng has arranged to meet at 3 PM in Nanshan Science and Technology Park. It'll be about a 20-minute drive from the hotel."

He said he wanted to treat you to dinner tonight, but I said I'd ask your opinion first.
