Chapter 67 Don't Expose Your Teacher

"If Xu Yiruo invites me to invest in the company in the future, can the contract be given to you as well?" Li Yitong asked.

"sure."

Seeing her delight, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but say, "But maybe in a few years, I'll decide to work hard and improve myself, and we might cooperate first."

Li Yitong realized what was happening and smiled even more: "Then I'll go out and build up my reputation first, and then I'll definitely come back to work for Boss Jiang."

It diluted the sadness of parting.

Li Yitong recalled an interesting anecdote: "I heard that 'Beauty Maker' is an episodic drama, and they're even planning to film and broadcast it simultaneously."

"I might be the first one in our small group of extras to officially debut."

Nowadays, filming a movie doesn't mean you've debuted; it only counts when the show airs.

"Beauty Maker" was filmed in Zhengzhou.

Thanks to Hunan TV's new program "Youth Sunday" being positioned as a television program rather than a standard satellite TV drama, it is allowed to be filmed and broadcast simultaneously.

Unlike traditional domestic dramas, which require the entire series to be submitted for review and obtain a distribution license before they can be broadcast.

The dramas in this "Youth Sunday" program are submitted for review in separate units, which breaks down the barriers to filming and broadcasting simultaneously.

Although "Beauty Maker" is nominally a TV series, it is actually composed of ten short, self-contained stories.

Each small story segment airs for a few episodes, similar to each instance in a web novel.

Xu Yiruo and Yu Zheng, who is jokingly called effeminate by netizens, have a very good relationship.

Jiang Yuan wasn't surprised that Yu Zheng could help Mo Tong get a female lead role in a unit.

If filming and broadcasting proceed simultaneously, Li Yitong will indeed be able to appear on screen and meet the audience within the next two months.

Compared to her original debut in 15 with the drama "Demon Girl" airing in 16, this was two years earlier.

"Congratulations! Sister Xue will protect me then," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll definitely protect you then." Li Yitong readily agreed.

"But what if 'Beauty Maker' flops?"

Jiang Yuan remembers that "Beauty Maker" was not very popular, not to mention that Mo Tong was only the female lead in one of the unit dramas.

Damn, there are about twenty male and female leads in one drama.

Although only the male and female protagonists in the first unit can be considered the main storyline, it's still too much.

Jiang Yuan joked, "Will Li Xue cry?"

"Li Xue will not cry."

Li Yitong pinched Jiang Yuan's cheek in annoyance.

"Who cares if it becomes a hit? My job is just to act. Do you think that assembly-line production would make things difficult for someone like me who acted with Teacher Jiang in 'The Journey of Flower' for months?"

Li Yitong said to Jiang Yuan with a haughty tone, "With so many female leads in various episodes, my acting skills might even be in the top three. It's definitely not my fault if I don't become popular."

"Or is it that Teacher Jiang lacks confidence in the acting skills she imparts?"

Jiang Yuan thought about it and agreed. Mo Tong's acting skills were not bad, and even without his energy boost, it was still passable.

There are plenty of actresses made from plastic who are even more beautiful than her.

"Yes, I agree with you. You're definitely better than them."

Just as Li Yitong was about to smile upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan spoke.

"But if you mess up the performance in the future, don't reveal your teacher's identity."

Li Yitong: ————

"You dog of a man, can't you have a little more faith in me? What did you offer me?"

Li Yitong herself couldn't help but laugh, "You talk as if we're some kind of criminal sect."

"It's a pity it can't be charged anymore. If it could be charged, I definitely wouldn't have crashed."

It's a pity about Li Yitong; it would have been great if she could have continued acting with Jiang Yuan.

"Dad, my brother had the crew throw me a birthday party, that's why so many people were celebrating with me, so don't worry."

Yang Chaoyue was video chatting with her father when she immediately took the video to Jiang Yuan to boast about her achievement.

Hearing Li Yitong's words, I couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'crashed'? Sister Xue?"

Li Yitong and Jiang Yuan greeted Yang's father and then offered an explanation.

Yang Chaoyue shrank back, feeling that if she went to act alone, she would really make a mess of it.

After the phone call ended, lunch was eaten without much fanfare.

It was the main cast's birthday, so everyone shared some cake to celebrate, and that was it.

Most of the time, they celebrated in private.

But Chaoyue, who was acting for the first time, didn't know there would be more to come, and she felt satisfied with the result.

Chaoyue had no chance in the afternoon. No matter how Jiang Yuan tried to get her to leave, she wouldn't budge.

The girl watched everyone filming from the sidelines.

This was exactly what Jiang Yuan and the others wanted, and it was something they had expected.

Wait until I get off work in the evening.

The lead actors went to a time-honored hot pot restaurant for dinner.

Ma Ke and Huo Jianhua are both here, so Jiang Ge has to give them face.

As soon as Yang Chaoyue opened the car door, she found another cake waiting for her.

"There's cake too?" The girl was a little confused.

"The one from the daytime belongs to the film crew; this one is something we prepared ourselves," Jiang Yuan explained.

"Besides, you didn't make a wish on that cake during the day," Tian Xiwei reminded her.

"Oh, that's a pity, I forgot about it."

Yang Chaoyue sighed, "I almost made two wishes."

"Chaoyue, you're so greedy," Meng Ziyi laughed at her.

Yang Chaoyue looked at Jiang Yuan. Was she greedy?

"That's only human nature," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

Yang Chaoyue felt relieved and wanted to close her eyes to make a wish.

"Let's go eat hot pot first."

Tian Xiwei quickly stopped her and even taught Chaoyue, "Spicy first, then sweet; dessert can relieve the spiciness."

Because there were so many people, even though we booked a private room, we were served two hot pots with two broths.

But regardless of whether dessert can relieve the spiciness.

Li Yitong didn't touch the spicy hot pot side for girls.

It's not surprising that the group filmed together for several months.

Even Huo Jianhua, who has the least contact with Li Yitong, knows that she can't eat spicy food.

Tian Xiwei, on the other hand, transformed into a spicy food queen, constantly shoveling meat into the spicy broth.

"You two, one loves spicy food so much, and the other can't handle spicy food at all, will you still go out to eat together after filming is over?"

Jiang Xin asked Li Yitong and Tian Xiwei with great interest, "I've seen many people who seem to have a good relationship while filming, but completely lose contact after filming ends. Are you two like that too?"

Li Yitong was exasperated by Jiang Xin's occasional low emotional intelligence and affirmed, "Of course I can, why wouldn't I? We're very close."

Tian Xiwei became even more mischievous, grinning mischievously at Li Yitong, "Xue, do you want to go out to eat with me?"

"Tian Xiwei, do you want to die? There are so many people here."

Li Yitong had a headache; Xiao Tian was becoming increasingly disrespectful to his elders!

"you?"

When Huo Jianhua ate with everyone for the first time, a look of shock appeared on his usually composed face.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Yuan laughed and added, "You guessed right, their sexual orientation is problematic."

That childish bastard, fine, I'll play along with you.

Li Yitong didn't explain, but cooperated with Jiang Yuan, smiling as she looked at him and said, "I knew you were a big mouth, you scoundrel."

Tian Xiwei bit her chopsticks, glanced at Li Yitong, and then looked at Jiang Yuan.

The girl, her playful nature aroused, revealed a dimple on her right cheek and nodded seriously, saying, "That's right."

Jiang was willing to cooperate with the two girls, but that didn't stop him from playing pranks on Huo Jianhua.

"So, Brother Hua, you know what to do, right?"

Huo Jianhua's hand trembled, and he quickly assured them, "Brother Jiang, don't worry, I absolutely won't leak this information."

"Hahaha."

Meng Ziyi and Yang Chaoyue couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing.

"He's lying to you, Huo Jianhua, you're too naive, you're so easy to fool."

Jiang Xin also laughed at Huo Jianhua.

Zhao Liying smiled slightly as she listened to their conversation while eating.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Yuan deliberately asked, "Do you feel like your emotional intelligence has improved just because Jiang Xin is around?"

"That's what you said, Dongfang, it has nothing to do with me."

When Zhao Liying saw Jiang Xin looking over, she kept shaking her head.

Jiang Xin glared at Jiang Yuan again, her tone menacing: "Do you think I have low emotional intelligence?"

At this moment, Xiao Yu handed the boxed lunch to Jiang Yuan: "Boss, this is the leftovers you need to save for this afternoon."

Leftovers —

Unpleasant memories flooded back to Jiang Xin, recalling her arrogant boasting during the audition and the incident of eating the leftovers from Jiang Yuan's role.

"Thanks."

Jiang Yuan took it, then looked at Jiang Xin, whose aura had inexplicably become quite weak.

He didn't delve into it further, but said seriously, "Jiang Xin, your emotional intelligence is indeed sometimes low. We, who are relatively familiar with you, know that you are not a bad person at heart, but netizens don't know that. Remember to be careful with your words and actions."

Is it really that blunt? Wouldn't Jiang Xin be furious?

Ma Ke and Huo Jianhua quickly focused their attention on their own thoughts.

But Brother Jiang is really awesome.

"understood."

To Ma Ke and Huo Jianhua's surprise, Jiang Xin actually agreed.

Ma Ke and Huo Jianhua immediately felt...

Brother Jiang is even more awesome!

Xiao Yu thought about Jiang Yuan's words and glanced at Meng Ziyi.

Meng Ziyi was eating lettuce when she saw Xiao Yu looking at her. Like a little rabbit, she quickly slurped the lettuce from her mouth into her mouth.

"Little Fish, why are you looking at me like that?"

"She's telling you to be careful with your words and actions," Jiang Yuan explained to Xiao Yu, amused.

Actually, he felt it wasn't necessary. Although Sister Meng was outspoken, sometimes what she said was quite endearing.

"Huh? Me?"

Meng Ziyi looked at him as if he'd seen a ghost. "Jiang Yuan, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for Sister Liying or Sister Jiang Xin?"

"Sister Meng, what do you mean?"

Zhao Liying and Jiang Xin immediately began to lecture Mencius.

Meng Ziyi ran behind Li Yitong to hide, but Li Yitong grinned mischievously and wouldn't let her hide.

Meng Ziyi could only quickly run over to the boys and hide behind Jiang Yuan.

"Alright," Jiang Yuan stopped them. "Even though it's a private room, it's not good to get burned."

Zhao Liying and Jiang Xincai gave up.

Having narrowly escaped disaster, Meng Ziyi sat back down and, recalling Li Yitong's mischievous grin earlier, immediately began to expose Li Yitong's embarrassing moments.

"Everyone knows that Sister Xue can't handle spicy food, but you probably don't know exactly how spicy she can't handle. Can anyone guess?"

Li Yitong didn't care, but she was very curious about what kind of tricks Meng Ziyi was going to pull.

Yang Chaoyue raised her hand: "Mildly spicy?"

"Mildly spicy" is too broad and not specific enough.

Meng Ziyi pointed at Tian Xiwei, "Xiao Tian's understanding of 'mildly spicy' as a Chongqing native may be completely different from everyone else's."

"How should I describe it?"

Tian Xiwei was also curious and looked at Jiang Yuan, whom she considered to be an expert in everything.

"I don't know why Xiaotian is looking at me," Jiang Yuan shook her head.

"Then guess, be specific," Meng Ziyi wanted Jiang Yuan to guess.

"Hmm—" Jiang Yuan pondered, "I guess, Master Kong Spicy Beef Noodles?"

"You're exaggerating too much."

Zhao Liying, who is also a chili lover, couldn't help but say, "How could anyone think that spicy beef noodles are spicy?"

"Yes, Xiaoyu and Jingjing both think it's spicy."

Jiang Yuan pointed to her agent and assistant, two locals from Zhejiang Province, who genuinely thought the spicy beef noodles were spicy.

"It's mildly spicy, not particularly spicy, but it'll definitely be spicy," Xiao Yu said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, it's the same for me," Jingjing replied.

Zhao Liying was shocked. It actually exists?

What shocked Zhao Liying even more was that Meng Ziyi actually shook his head.

"No, the spicy beef noodles are too spicy for Sister Xue," Meng Ziyi said.

"Master Kong Braised Beef Noodles?" Jiang Yuan guessed subconsciously.

"Brother, this is going a bit too far."

Yang Chaoyue found it abstract, "Braised beef noodles aren't spicy, so how can you taste the spiciness?"

"Chaoyue, you're wrong. It is a bit spicy, but I can eat it!"

Li Yitong glared at the scoundrel with displeasure. "You forgot we ate together last time?"

"Oh, that's true."

Jiang Yuan smiled sheepishly and said to Meng Ziyi, "Alright, Sister Meng, let's reveal the answer."

Mencius happily revealed the answer: "McDonald's. Sister Xue finds McDonald's food too spicy and can't eat any of it."

""

"It's a pity we never bought it."

Tian Xiwei was a little disappointed. "Next time, if you have the chance, buy some KFC and let Sister Xue try it. How come it's spicy?"

"Hmm, good idea."

Yang Chaoyue nodded; she also wanted to see how McDonald's could be spicy.

"I'm still here."

Li Yitong slammed her hand on the table in dissatisfaction and addressed the two who were loudly plotting.

"McDonald's is spicy by nature," she said.

The group finished their meal.

on the way back.

"Sister Meng, how did you know?"

Yang Chaoyue, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but ask Meng Ziyi when she saw that only her own people were in the car.

"Hehe, didn't I meet Sister Xue before I came to Beijing for the art exams in my senior year of high school?"

Mencius said proudly, "Back then, she was in college and went to the mall. A guy wanted to create a romantic moment, so he asked a food delivery driver to deliver food to her, but he accidentally delivered it to the wrong place and sent it to me instead."

"Oh, so that's how you met?" Yang Chaoyue was shocked.

"Pretty much, I don't know why fate is so strange."

Meng Ziyi cupped his face, admiring himself, "The delivery guy said the person who placed the order wanted it delivered to a super pretty girl, so he assumed it was me, hehe, I really am pretty."

"But it's strange."

Meng Ziyi scratched his head and looked at Jiang Yuan again. "Actually, I was in the crowd in the mall because someone said there was a handsome lawyer from Peking University who was several times more handsome than a celebrity, and he was fighting for his rights with the store owner."

This caused a lot of girls to want to watch, and I got stuck there, which is why the delivery guy mistakenly delivered it to me.

"A lawyer? I think there is such a thing, but I didn't have time to see it."

Li Yitong also remembered that something like that happened that day, but she hadn't paid much attention to it.

But now, Peking University, lawyers, and incredibly handsome guys are all connected—

Mencius and Li Yitong turned to look at Jiang Yuan.

Did you go to Sanlitun that day?

"Which day?" Jiang Yuan frowned.

The two girls looked through their phone records and told Jiang Yuan what they had read.

Jiang Yuan frowned and thought for a moment. He was a senior in college and was experiencing the profession of a lawyer.

I do seem to have visited a luxury brand store in Sanlitun.

"I think I've been there before. There's a Dior store there. When I was a lawyer, someone said they bought a fake bag there and wanted me to go with them to seek redress," Jiang Yuan said.

Actually, lawyers don't handle home visits, but that customer kept pestering him, saying that when he went to the shop, the shopkeeper mocked him for not knowing the law.

After Jiang Yuan learned about the situation and obtained evidence, he felt that going to a shop to explain the law and refute its claims seemed to be part of the fun of being a lawyer, and it was quite interesting.

He went there. Could it be that the butterfly effect had already begun?

"Damn it, so it was you, you jerk, who caused the traffic jam!"

Li Yitong said with a smile, "It turns out that the three of us almost met beforehand."

Meng Ziyi also felt it was quite a coincidence: "However, Sister Xue and I did meet briefly beforehand because of this traffic jam, otherwise we probably wouldn't have known each other."
