CHAPTER.31 Good News

"Three million?"

The voice from the other end of the phone seemed a little puzzled, and everyone else looked at Su Shen curiously at what she was going to say.

Su Shen felt rather embarrassed. Xie Yan was probably confused by her. She was clearly someone who didn't even want to owe others a meal, but now, she wanted to borrow three million all of a sudden. She didn't know if Xie Yan could sense that something was weird about it.

"Yeah, it's the complex in Yuxin District. When I went to see it a few days ago, I felt that the condo was quite nice. But, I just happened to be short of three million. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll ask someone else." Su Shen coughed slightly. What she said was so obvious, it was impossible for Xie Yan to not see through it.

As expected, the person on the other end of the phone paused and suddenly said, "Is it convenient or not?"

As his words fell, the people at the table across from her covered their mouths. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't make a sound, they would probably have screamed.

Seeing that time was running out, Su Shen immediately asked, "Are you willing to lend or not?"

Hearing this, Xie Yan said seriously, "Sure, but my interest is very high."

She knew that he saw through it when he said that. Fortunately, the task was completed. Just at this moment, Zhou Jun, who was across from her, suddenly said, "Hi Yan ge, we're recording for a show!"

When he said that, Yang Yun, who was next to him, came over excitedly and shouted, "Xie laoshi, I'm your fan!"

Su Shen's hand was almost crushed by Yang Yun, which showed just how excited she was, just like how Tong Le was.

"Yan ge, when will you lend me three million!" Wang Cheng shouted from over there.

Actually, everyone could tell that Xie Yan must have seen through it just now, as his last sentence was obviously a joke.

"Xie laoshi surely wants to refuse in his heart!" Yang Yun looked at Wang Cheng jeeringly.

"Okay, y'all. Hi Yan ge, we're recording for 'Happy Today'; it was a game just now. You can say hello to our friends in the audience." Yuan Zheng immediately took control of the scene.

Upon hearing that, the person on the other end of the phone said unhurriedly, "Hello everyone, I'm Xie Yan."

His voice was deep and mellow. Yang Yun, on the side, grabbed Su Shen's arm tightly with excitement, "AHHHHH!"

"Okay, okay, there's nothing else. I'm going to hang up." Su Shen immediately took her phone and hung up before the other party could respond.

She didn't know how the production team would edit it later, but it was obvious that Xie Yan was joking around when he promised to lend her money. The public would definitely see it.

"With this, there will definitely be someone asking Xie laoshi to lend them money everyday." Zhang Qianqian said jokingly.

Seeing this, Su Shen immediately said with all seriousness, "Actually, Xie laoshi is very nice. He would teach us a lot of things when filming."

"Yeah, he would tell me how to tone and intonate the lines. He's also usually very down-to-earth." Wang Cheng added.

Su Shen couldn't help but take another glance at him. How come she didn't feel that Xie Yan was down-to-earth…

Everyone echoed a few more words, and then it was Zhang Qianqian's turn to call. She drew out "I have a fever."

The one she had to call was a heavily rumored boyfriend recently. The other party was a highly popular xiao xian rou. But what they didn't expect was that after Zhang Qianqian finished speaking, the other party immediately said, "I'm coming to see you now."

In an instant, the entire room was flaring with noise. The person on the other end of the phone naturally found out that they were recording for a show, but the relationship between the two of them must not be ordinary. Zhang Qianqian's face blushed with helplessness.

However, this scene definitely could not be broadcasted. There could be ambiguity between the two, but if that were to be broadcasted, it would mean that they were going public with their relationship. Zhang Qianqian certainly did not want to go public with their relationship. The production team naturally wouldn't do such a thing either. After all, this was a long term collaboration. Thus, the two of them soon recorded another take, but it was much more normal this time.

They didn't expect such big news to be leaked in the end. Everyone was so surprised that the calls after seemed average.

The result of this round was the red team. This was the script of the production team, where each team had to win once, so that they could have a sense of tension by being evenly matched.

The punishment for Su Shen's team was to let the other team's members draw turtles on their faces, with lipstick even. In the end, they had to wash their faces before reapplying makeup.

Each team got a clue, and they respectively went to town to look for the peerless Master. During this time, the route and the meeting of the two teams were all scripted. Wang Cheng said he was hungry and insisted on taking them to eat a bowl of wontons on the roadside before leaving.

The scripted ending was that the red team found the Master, who was actually a kung fu master. Overall, this episode was already full of funny bits and breaking points. Although the part of Zhang Qianqian couldn't be broadcasted, the rerecording was still full of ambiguity between the two, which was enough as a gimmick.

The recording didn't end until 9:00 PM. Yuan Zheng acted as host and organized them to have dinner outside. The men were drinking over there, while the women were chatting about cosmetics and beauty related things over here.

"Su Shen, how long have you been learning the guzheng?" Ye Meng, who was sitting beside her, suddenly asked.

Except for Su Shen, all the other girls didn't dare to eat too much, only she ate half a bowl of rice more and had a glass of their special juice in hand. When she heard Ye Meng's question, she turned around and smiled, "My grandfather likes these kinds of classical things, so he had me learn some when I was little."

Upon hearing her words, Yang Yun, on her other side, drank a sip of water depressingly, "Comparing oneself to others will only make one angry. I don't even dare to drink too much water. Look at Su Shen, she ate half a bowl of rice more and her figure is still so good. If I had such a figure, I'd also do idol dramas."

Su Shen: "..."

She thought she had eaten quite little already, but when she saw the others, she felt guilty for eating just one more bite.

"You can only film horror movies!" Zhou Jun couldn't help but tease her, and Yang Yun cursed at him again.

"Su Shen's actually a master chef. Come here, I'll let you guys admire it a little!" Just at this moment, Wang Cheng took out his phone and suddenly pulled out a photo, which was taken at Su Shen's house before.

Zhou Jun took a glance and immediately leaned over and zoomed in on the picture, "No way? This was made by Su Shen?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Wang Cheng explained with certainty, "Of course! It was super delicious. You can gain three pounds after eating her meal!"

Yang Yun also leaned over to take a look and immediately took Su Shen's arm and screamed "AHHH, I want to eat it! But, I have to diet."

Seeing Wang Cheng over there bragging again, Su Shen just felt exhausted. She was in the entertainment industry and did not have plans to enter the culinary industry either.

"Actually, as long as you have a reasonable diet, you won't gain too much weight. I can make vegetarian pancakes that are low in calories. I often eat that to control my weight. You guys can come over to my house when you have time, and I can make whatever you want to eat." She said with a smile.

Whether it's pleasantries or not, the others had a great impression of her. After adding each other on WeChat, they then followed each other on Weibo. After dinner, Yang Yun added that she would go to her house for free meals in the future.

Su Shen naturally agreed with a smile. When she got back to the hotel, she had to pack up and leave tomorrow.

When she was in bed, she thought of the phone call today. Su Shen didn't know if she should explain to Xie Yan again, but on second thought, it had already been explained on the show. Thus, she did not say anything more.

It wasn't until the next day that she flew back to Shanghai. Her Dad was richer than her and had bought a mansion. By the time she got home, her Mom was already busy in the kitchen.

And in the living room sitting was her Dad, a middle-aged man, and a very familiar figure!

"Speak of the devil! Look, this girl is finally back." Her Dad saw her and immediately beckoned her with his hand, "What are you waiting for? Come and see your Uncle Tan."

The middle-aged man turned around and smiled kindly when he saw Su Shen, "Shen Shen has already grown so much, I still remember how little she was when she was just born. She became a lady already so quickly."

Su Shen blinked, changed her shoes and walked over with a smile, "Hello Uncle Tan."

As she said that, she turned around and looked at the tall and handsome man at the side, "Hello Hao Zhi gege."

The man was wearing a black casual suit. At a glance, Su Shen could tell that the watch on his wrist was a global limited edition. Although his face was a little different from her memories, the original owner of Su Shen's body had seen his photos before. That's right, this man was the childhood friend that the original owner had a crush on!

However, he seemed to just treat her as a little sister. When he was 16, their entire family moved abroad. It was said that they seemed to have come back recently. Su Shen remembered that the original owner of this body had written a love letter to him before, but did not know if he had received it or not. But, there was no change in his attitude towards her.

"Alas, we have grown old in a blink of an eye. I remember that these two were still so little and now, they have become adults." Uncle Tan sighed while taking off his glasses, as if lamenting that time waits for no one.

The girl in front was wearing a jade-green dress, which perfectly showed her beautiful figure. Unlike the little girl in his memories, the face of the person in front of him was beautiful and exquisite, but with a touch of innocence. However, her temperament portrayed indifference. She was different from the girl who only chased after him in the past; now, she was a little distant and courteous.

Tan Haozhi got up and looked at her with a smile, with a clear voice, "Long time no see, you've grown taller."

Su Shen rolled her eyes and smiled politely, "Not as tall as you."

Seeing the two of them chatting awkwardly, Papa Su could not help but feel a little helpless. He glanced at Papa Tan, and the two of them went to the study to chat with their teacups in hand.

When they were the only people left in the living room, Su Shen stiffened a little. What she was most afraid of were these emotional entanglements, as she did not know how to deal with them at all.

"Sit." She took two steps back and sat on the other sofa.

Seeing that she seemed a little strained, Tan Haozhi smiled helplessly, "This is your home, why are you more nervous than me?"

His smile only made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze. Su Shen, however, was a little awkward and took a throw pillow on the side to put it on her legs, pretending to be calm while looking at him, "I didn't expect you to come back so suddenly, will you go back in the future?"

With regard to this childhood friend, he had been constantly in the mind of the original owner of this body. She often asked her Dad for news about him and learned that he had already received his JD and PhD in law and that he had won several lawsuits against famous attorneys abroad. For him to suddenly come back, it seemed that he wanted to develop his career back here.

"I opened a law firm with a friend and will develop my career back here in the future." As he said this, he suddenly looked at her seriously, "I heard that you have entered the entertainment industry. Why haven't I heard of you having this interest before?"

The original owner of this body had this dream long ago, but at that time, he had been studying hard, so how could he have had the time to listen to the original Su Shen's dream?

"Oh, I've had this idea since long ago. People should at least pursue their dreams once." She smiled politely.

Seeing her mannerisms were completely different from the little girl in his memories, Tan Haozhi felt very perplexed. Time could really change a lot.

He suddenly thought of something and frowned, looking at her earnestly, "I saw the trailer of your movie with Xie Yan. You acted great; I didn't realize that you had this potential before."

Their eyes met. He seemed to be really praising her. But Su Shen thought of the kiss scene with Xie Yan and wondered if he knew. That would be embarrassing.

But just when Su Shen was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang. She apologized and then answered the call.

The next moment, Liu jie's clear voice came through the phone, "There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Upon hearing that, Su Shen glanced at Tan Haozhi and ran outside to take the call, "Good news."

At that, Liu jie on the other end immediately said, "I've booked that modern drama for you. You happen to be free the day after tomorrow, so I'll go with you to sign the contract and in passing, have a meal with the producer. By the way, Xie Yan will also go."
