Endless Fall Novel - Chapter 75
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.
!!
“Hello, who are you looking for?” The receptionist at the front desk stopped her in time.
“Zhou Yanshen.”
“Do you have an appointment?”
Lin Jiao shook her head. “I’ll get him to talk to you.” She dialed Zhou Yanshen’s 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.
“Let’s go eat first.” He reached out to block the elevator door from closing and pulled her into the elevator. “I specially asked the cafeteria to prepare your favorite dishes.”
“You didn’t change chefs, did you?”
“No.”
“That’s good.” 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 couldn’t help but gossip.
“Who is that woman?”
“I don’t know. She’s probably new here.”
“Not bad. She hooked up with him as soon as she came.” Yu Xuan’s tone was filled with jealousy.
“Are you envious of her?”
“What’s there to be envious of?” She raised her chin proudly. “I hate gold-diggers.”
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.
“Jiaojiao.”
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. “Brother Yanshen, find a seat and wait for me.”
“Don’t talk too long.”
“I know.” She smiled and walked over.
Du Wei handed the cup of fruit tea to her. “Jiaojiao, are you angry with me?”
“For what?”
“I didn’t take good care of him… I’m sorry to have disappointed you.”
Lin Jiao patted the back of her hand. “Don’t blame yourself. He’s already so old and can take care of himself.”
Du Wei suddenly sighed. “Your brother and I are not fated to be together.”
“It’s fine.” Lin Jiao glanced in Zhou Yanshen’s direction. “You’ll meet someone better.”
Du Wei suppressed her sadness.
She ignored the curious gazes that were on the two of them. “Jiaojiao, although I broke up with your brother, it doesn’t affect us being friends, right? If you need my help, just tell me.”
The moment she said “your brother”, the expressions of the people who were eavesdropping changed.
“Alright.” Lin Jiao was afraid that the dishes would turn cold if they continued chatting, so she ended the topic first. “Sister Wei, I’ll go and eat first.”
Du Wei agreed with a nod.
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, “What’s wrong?”
“Sister Wei, is she CEO Zhou’s biological sister?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.
Du Wei had no intention of revealing Lin Jiao’s identity.
She asked in surprise, “You haven’t seen her before?”
“No.”
“Someone even said that she’s a gold-digger’.” She looked back at Yu Xuan. “What a joke.”
“That’s right. People with dirty minds always think poorly of others.”
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.
“Sister Xuan, don’t lower yourself to their level.” The assistant looked at her with trepidation, afraid that she would flare up at her.
“They’re not qualified!”
Yu Xuan’s face darkened.
She took two steps before stopping. “Stay here. When his sister leaves, help me get her contact number.”
“Why do you want her contact number?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”
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, “Brother Yanshen, do you have a suitable shooting opportunity for him?”
“What are his requirements for roles?”
“I’m not sure. I guess any roles that you can find.”
