75 Worried That He Would Not Cherish the Opportunity 1
There was laughter and chatter in the resting area.
The warm sun cast in from the window onto their faces.
Pei Yilan left before the lunch break ended.
After saying goodbye to her, Lin Jiao returned to her desk and arranged a time to meet Zhou Yanshen at Star River Entertainment the next day.
âHello, who are you looking for?â The receptionist at the front desk stopped her in time.
âZhou Yanshen.â
âDo you have an appointment?â
Lin Jiao shook her head. âIâll get him to talk to you.â She dialed Zhou Yanshenâs number and handed the phone to the receptionist.
At his request, the receptionist sent her to the elevator and pressed the floor for her.
A ding sounded as the elevator arrived.
Zhou Yanshen, who was leaning against the wall, took a step forward when he saw Lin Jiao.
âLetâs go eat first.â He reached out to block the elevator door from closing and pulled her into the elevator. âI specially asked the cafeteria to prepare your favorite dishes.â
âYou didnât change chefs, did you?â
âNo.â
âThatâs good.â Lin Jiao liked the dishes cooked by those chefs. She had not had them for a long time and missed them.
It was meal time. Actors or employees were sitting at the dining table, chatting and laughing.
When they saw Zhou Yanshen showing up with an unfamiliar woman in the dining area, they couldnât help but gossip.
âWho is that woman?â
âI donât know. Sheâs probably new here.â
âNot bad. She hooked up with him as soon as she came.â Yu Xuanâs tone was filled with jealousy.
âAre you envious of her?â
âWhatâs there to be envious of?â She raised her chin proudly. âI hate gold-diggers.â
Du Wei, who was sitting at the front table, sneered.
She had no intention of arguing with Yu Xuan. Instead, she called out to Lin Jiao when she passed by.
âJiaojiao.â
Lin Jiao stopped in her tracks when she heard her name.
Seeing that Du Wei seemed to want to make small talk, she handed the plate to Zhou Yanshen. âBrother Yanshen, find a seat and wait for me.â
âDonât talk too long.â
âI know.â She smiled and walked over.
Du Wei handed the cup of fruit tea to her. âJiaojiao, are you angry with me?â
âFor what?â
âI didnât take good care of him⦠Iâm sorry to have disappointed you.â
Lin Jiao patted the back of her hand. âDonât blame yourself. Heâs already so old and can take care of himself.â
Du Wei suddenly sighed. âYour brother and I are not fated to be together.â
âItâs fine.â Lin Jiao glanced in Zhou Yanshenâs direction. âYouâll meet someone better.â
Du Wei suppressed her sadness.
She ignored the curious gazes that were on the two of them. âJiaojiao, although I broke up with your brother, it doesnât affect us being friends, right? If you need my help, just tell me.â
The moment she said âyour brotherâ, the expressions of the people who were eavesdropping changed.
âAlright.â Lin Jiao was afraid that the dishes would turn cold if they continued chatting, so she ended the topic first. âSister Wei, Iâll go and eat first.â
Du Wei agreed with a nod.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She watched Lin Jiao leave. When she turned around, she realized that the others were all staring at her. She pretended to be puzzled and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âSister Wei, is she CEO Zhouâs biological sister?â Someone couldnât help but ask.
Du Wei had no intention of revealing Lin Jiaoâs identity.
She asked in surprise, âYou havenât seen her before?â
âNo.â
âSomeone even said that sheâs a gold-diggerâ.â She looked back at Yu Xuan. âWhat a joke.â
âThatâs right. People with dirty minds always think poorly of others.â
Yu Xuan, who was mocked, had no appetite to eat anymore.
She threw her chopsticks on the table and left the cafeteria with her assistant.
âSister Xuan, donât lower yourself to their level.â The assistant looked at her with trepidation, afraid that she would flare up at her.
âTheyâre not qualified!â
Yu Xuanâs face darkened.
She took two steps before stopping. âStay here. When his sister leaves, help me get her contact number.â
âWhy do you want her contact number?â
âDonât ask what you shouldnât ask.â
The assistant chose to shut up.
She waited at the entrance of the cafeteria for a long time, only to find that Lin Jiao had left the cafeteria through another exit.
Helpless, she could only go to the lobby and continue waiting.
Lin Jiao, who did not know that she was being targeted, followed Zhou Yanshen into the office and started talking.
She finished telling him the entire story briefly before asking, âBrother Yanshen, do you have a suitable shooting opportunity for him?â
âWhat are his requirements for roles?â
âIâm not sure. I guess any roles that you can find.â
