Feverish actress cried after being angered by haters, but discovered the real culprit was at her bed

Everyone was shocked and confused. Wasn't Lu Yan's role canceled on the orders of this Boss Zhang?

Why is Lu Yan suddenly going to act in this again? What's he up to? And why does it feel like this President Zhang is trying to curry favor with Lu Yan?

What happened?

Chen Yun, who had just had a conflict with Lu Yan, was completely distraught. He had just mocked Lu Yan, and now he had been slapped in the face so quickly!

What on earth is this Mr. Zhang up to?

Lu Yan did not get up. His willow-leaf eyebrows were lowered, revealing a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he pushed the gift on the table back to Zhang Jie, his expression solemn: "President Zhang, you may speak your mind directly. There is no need to do this."

Zhang Jie's expression showed a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness. She smiled and said, "It's like this, it's about what just happened. Could you put in a good word for me with President Yu?"

Lu Yan subconsciously prepared to reply, but Zhang Jie quickly interrupted him, patting her chest: "Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly after it's done. I just ask you to do me a favor."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table gasped in surprise, their mouths agape, looking at each other with shock clearly visible in their eyes.

Did you hear that right? This Mr. Zhang is actually asking Lu Yan for a favor!

Just two days ago, Zhang Jie was all high and mighty, giving orders during the audition and even getting the role of Lu Yan blocked. Now, she's actually begging Lu Yan for a favor.

Not only the students, but even the teacher Wang Jinsong was deeply moved.

He and Zhang Jie worked together at China Film Studio in the past, and were colleagues in the same department in their early years. However, he later chose to return to the home front to cultivate fresh blood for the film industry.

  

Zhang Jie continues to work on the front lines. He has known Zhang Jie for more than a year or two. Although Zhang Jie is tactful, she is arrogant and rarely humbles herself like this.

He's actually putting on this act in front of a student, and Lu Yan's profile doesn't mention any background he has.

"Mr. Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I can't make the decision on this matter. Take this back and I'll put in a good word for you with Mr. Yu, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out."

Say what?!

Lu Yan sneered inwardly. He had blocked Lu Yan's role, and now Lu Yan was begging for help from him. Even if he could help, he would never do so.

I'm not your father, why should I help you?

That being said, based on his understanding of these mudfish in the ditches, he knew he would be driven crazy if he didn't agree, so to avoid the trouble, he simply agreed to help.

Anyway, I was just saying it casually. Whether I say it or not, you won't know. If things don't work out, it's none of my business.

Lu Yan agreed so readily that Zhang Jie could hardly believe it. He had originally been prepared to suffer some humiliation and endure it silently.

Lu Yan didn't want to accept the gift, but Zhang Jie refused to take it back no matter what. She left the gift behind and left, afraid that Lu Yan would change his mind.

Lu Yan glanced at the items on the table speechlessly. Well, another free gift.

After Zhang Jie left, the atmosphere at the table finally returned to normal. Lu Yan smiled warmly and said, "Why are you all looking at me? Eat your food. If you're not going to eat, I will."

"Ah, yes, yes, let's eat vegetables."

With Lao Wang taking the lead, the other students, though harboring doubts, didn't dare voice them at that moment. They continued eating, but their minds remained preoccupied with what had just happened, unable to forget it.

"Hey Lu Yan, what did that producer ask you to do? Can you tell us?"

Zhan Qingyi was the first to put down her chopsticks and asked in a weak voice. Everyone turned their gaze to her, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Even Liu Yifei, who had been eating in silence, pricked up her ears and looked over. Lu Yan casually replied while picking up food, "Let's invest. Zhang Jie wants to ask my friend for help and wants me to put in a good word for her. We just met in the office."

"I guess my friend didn't agree to be with him, so he contacted me. I don't have that kind of ability; we're just ordinary friends."

Everyone nodded in agreement, realizing that's how it is.

Although Lu Yan's words were simple, today's events gave everyone present a new understanding of him. While they were still struggling to find resources to get acting roles, he had already built his own network in the industry.

Thinking about themselves, everyone felt a little lonely, but also envious of Lu Yan.

"You're lucky, you know so many people. Most of us haven't even had a proper acting experience yet, except for you and Sisi."

Liu, who was peeling shrimp and got her hands all oily, turned around blankly, looking a little silly, "Why am I involved?"

Lu Yan didn't want to get involved in this topic, so he just said a few words to brush it off.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

The dinner party was almost over, and everyone was getting ready to leave when a waiter suddenly pushed a small cart over with a silver pot lid inside.

Two waiters picked up the lid, revealing a bottle of red wine hidden underneath. The waiters then skillfully picked up various tools for opening the wine, ready to begin their performance.

Old Wang caught a glimpse of the Château Lafite logo on the red wine and was nearly stunned.

"Wait, wait a minute... what are you doing? We didn't order red wine."

Wang Jinsong was worried that if he was even a step slower, he would lose his wallet. Who was playing such a joke? Bring up a bottle of Lafite.

Old Wang stared intently at the words above: Château Lafite Rothschild 1986

Okay, it's from 1986. This small bottle must cost at least ten or twenty thousand!

The waiter smiled and laid out the glasses one by one from the shelf, explaining as he turned the glass turntable: "This is a bottle of wine that our boss gave to Mr. Lu. It's an 86 dry red."

Jiang Yiyan, sitting next to Lu Yan, covered her mouth, her pupils dilated in shock as she stared at Lu Yan and the bottle of wine.

Lafite, 86!

An uproar erupted at the dinner table, with everyone staring at Lu Yan with fervent eyes, as if he were some rare animal.

Good heavens, Lu Yan has too much influence! The restaurant owner even gave him free drinks!

This guy is dishonest. He just said that you can't talk to ordinary friends, but your ordinary friends give you 86 Lafite!

Isn't this the kind of domineering CEO plot you only see in TV dramas?

Some of the female classmates were already giving Lu Yan the eye with drool-like looks.

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were on the verge of tears. They were saying, "We're not brothers anymore. We're all doing just fine, so why did you suddenly change like this? You've become such a stranger to us!"

Chen Yun's expression at this moment could not be described as merely ugly; he resembled the wrinkled Tall-nut from Plants vs. Zombies, with eyes that didn't look like eyes and a nose that didn't look like a nose.

She even started to regret coming to eat this meal. If she hadn't come, she wouldn't have had to suffer so much watching Lu Yan act so arrogant!

Lu Yan, who was still preparing the hairy crabs with a claw in his mouth, turned around abruptly when he heard someone call his name. He looked at the wine and asked, "Did your boss give this to me?"

Lu Yan glanced at the label on the wine. He knew that the school had taught some etiquette courses, including wine tasting, so he knew the price of Lafite.

My heart is bleeding, sis! Can't you just give me the cash instead of this thing? It's keeping me up at night!

They were all just ordinary classmates, and Lu Yan was reluctant to treat them to such good wine, but given the current situation, he couldn't just say he was taking the wine away. Lu Yan was on the verge of tears.

"Thank you...please thank your boss for me."

"You are welcome."

The waiter was very polite, and a bottle of wine made the atmosphere even more lively, with everyone excitedly picking up their glasses.

"Lafite, I've only ever seen Chow Yun-fat drink it on TV... I never thought I'd have the chance to taste this legendary wine myself."

"How vulgar you are! Can't you be a little more mature? It's so embarrassing to eat out with you... Waiter, could you please get me an extra-large cup? This one is too small."

"......"

Lu Yan leaned back in his chair, his heart filled with gloom. "Drink, drink... my little money..."

The group of people at the table each poured a little, and everyone imitated what they saw on TV, shaking their cups.

Zhu Yawen held his nose to the rim of the cup and inhaled deeply, causing Luo Jin next to him to roll his eyes.

What are you doing?!

"I'm going to imprint this taste in my mind so I can brag about it to my dad when I get home!"

Luo Jin: "Knowing you... is really embarrassing."

Luo Jin elegantly picked up his glass, savoring it with refined manners. Everyone was happy, and the only one who was probably unhappy was Lu Yan.

[With fine wine and a luminous cup, you generously share the red wine with your classmates, entertaining everyone. Positive emotion points +123]

【+22】

+14....

【...】

Hearing the system notification, Lu Yan felt a little better. Although he had very few emotion points, it was still better than having none.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Lu Yan was the first to leave early, took his documents, and luxuriously took a taxi back to school. Zhu Yawen and the others were still chatting with their classmates after dinner and did not leave with him.

In the taxi, Lu Yan opened the documents Yu Nan had given him.

The A4 paper contained a script document. Upon seeing the words on the title page, Lu Yan's pupils contracted, and all the sounds around him ceased to be heard at that moment.

All that remained in my mind were the words on the title page, and I couldn't contain my excitement.

"This is....!"
