Chapter 16 Unexpected Encounters in the Restaurant 1_1

Hearing Ruan Xiangchen's words, Ai Wei felt reassured. Now that the investors had agreed, then Liyou must be the leading lady. On the other hand, she was secretly happy to see that Ruan Xiangchen was so sincere in approaching Liyou for a negotiation, which must mean he is interested in her.

"So, Ruan, have you decided to let our Liyou join the advertisement shoot?" Ai Wei winked, full of hope.

Ruan Xiangchen neither affirmed nor denied, just grinned at Xia Liyou, "That depends on Miss Xia's decision."

Well, he conveniently tossed the ball into her court.

Facing Ai Wei's hopeful eyes, how could Xia Liyou say no?

Although she felt that Ruan Xiangchen's reason for inviting her to shoot the advertisement was not so simple, she couldn't ignore this opportunity right in front of her.

Xia Liyou curved her lips into a dazzling smile, so stunning that it could absolutely charm all beings.

"It all depends on whether Ruan can afford my price." Anyone knew how to increase their value.

If she was to accept this job, she had to consider the profit she would get from it.

After all, Xia Liyou used to be the daughter of an entrepreneur, so she would definitely make use of the little tricks she learned in the business world.

"No problem, as long as Miss Xia is willing to join, the pay is negotiable." To Ruan Xiangchen, money was not an issue at all. Right now, he only wanted to win her over, so he would not hesitate to spend lavishly.

Xia Liyou snorted lightly and then turned to Ai Wei, "You start the negotiation with him. I'm going to do my makeup."

Ai Wei quickly nodded, leading Ruan Xiangchen to a quieter place to discuss matters.

Ruan Xiangchen's eyes lingered on Xia Liyou, reluctant to leave, but thinking that she would eventually be his, he didn't rush and followed Ai Wei away.

Although Xia Liyou arrived at the film set at 2 o'clock, she didn't finish her makeup until 3 o'clock.

She initially thought that she might have to wait for a while before her turn, but to her surprise, the Director wanted to film her scenes first, not wanting to keep her waiting too long.

Everyone looked at Xia Liyou in astonishment, wondering about her identity.

What kind of background did Xia Liyou have to warrant such preferential treatment from the Director? Could it be that she had, somehow, won his favor?

Even if that were the case, this seems a bit excessive.

There were plenty of women who had won the Director's favor before, but none of them had ever been shown such attention as Xia Liyou was receiving, it was almost servile.

Could it be that Xia Liyou had some strong backing?

Speculation ran wild about Xia Liyou's backing, leading to various versions.

What was even stranger was that even a well-acquainted actress who tried to get information out of the Director was turned away, making Xia Liyou's identity even more mysterious.

As for all this, Xia Liyou didn't take it to heart. Since they wanted her to shoot quickly, so she did.

She didn't have many scenes, just two, and her total lines were less than ten. Plus, Xia Liyou was quite skilled, so her scenes were done in one take, making the filming end at four thirty.

Xia Liyou changed her clothes and packed up her things, preparing to leave. As she was looking for Ai Wei, she saw her and Ruan Xiangchen approaching her, laughing and chatting.

Why hasn't he left yet?

Seeing Ruan Xiangchen, Xia Liyou's first reaction was this.

Upon seeing that Xia Liyou had changed into casual clothes, Ai Wei asked in surprise, "Are you finished shooting already?"

Xia Liyou nodded.

"Oh my, the director is really efficient today. You finished so soon. That's perfect. Ruan has invited us to dinner. Have you packed up yet?" Ai Wei looked particularly delighted, it seemed the negotiation went well.

She had packed up, but about dinner... Xia Liyou recalled the words of the butler's wife before she left.

Ou Chengtian was coming home early for dinner tonight. If she was not there, he would surely be angry.

Moreover, he had specially bought a cake for her yesterday, but she had pretended to know nothing, feeling a little guilty.

That was the way she was, if someone treated her well, she would return it doubly. She never owed anyone.

Moreover, this person was Ou Chengtian. She couldn't owe him anything.

So, when she left, Xia Liyou planned to return early, maybe help him cook dinner or something. That would be a way to repay him.
