Chapter 205: An Nuo Is in Love
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When people were at their wits’ end, they would lower their bottom line. An Jia had a deep understanding of it now.
In order to borrow money, she signed the contract given by her manager. However, she didn’t expect this to be the beginning of her dark life.
As a new talent, An Nuo’s life had become rich and colorful.
Her name was announced on Wulin Universe’s Weibo page and written in the female lead column.
This was the first movie that An Nuo had taken on but she had already become famous.
[Is this a new talent? Why don’t I remember seeing her before?]
“She’s a newbie. I saw that her company has just been established and is the investor of this drama. They might be spending money to promote her.”
“Is Yu Xiao out of her mind too? It’s really disappointing to choose a newbie to be the female lead.”
It was not just the netizens who were questioning. Many companies that were eyeing the female lead of this drama were also curious about what was going on with this An Nuo who suddenly appeared.
An unknown person suddenly sat in the position of the female lead. The rumor that money was used to promote her occupied 80% of the rumors.
“Spend money?” An Jia’s manager, Brother Li, laughed. “It’s easier if it’s something that can be resolved with money. We do not lack money.”
He had a lot of subordinates and a few actresses, so when he saw that the female lead of Wulin Universe was a small actress he didn’t know, he had an idea.
Brother Li had an idea in his heart, so he asked Director Yu Xiao out for a meal.
The venue was a five-star hotel. It was luxurious. Just this meal alone costs a lot of money. It was enough to show how much money they had spent.
As soon as Yu Xiao entered, she saw Brother Li, who had been waiting for a long time.
“Hello, Director Yu.” Brother Li greeted Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao nodded and sat in her seat with a wooden face. She couldn’t even count how many meals she had eaten recently.
There were too many people asking her out, and Yu Xiao had a headache.
“You’re a great director, so 1 don’t dare to waste your time,” Brother Li said bluntly. “I invited you here this time to ask about the casting of Wulin Universe.”
Brother Li was very familiar with flattery. The intention in his words was instantly transmitted to Yu Xiao’s mind, making her understand what he meant.
“You want to push someone into the cast?” Yu Xiao picked up a piece of food and placed it in her bowl.
She had no qualms about freeloading. It would be a waste not to eat.
The smile on Brother Li’s face deepened. “What more can 1 say? I have many talented actors. They just lack a chance to shine—”
He waved his hand and Yu Xiao saw a beautiful girl walking towards her.
At the same time, a card was also handed to Yu Xiao from under the table by Brother Li.
Yu Xiao stopped eating and looked at Brother Li, meeting his suggestive gaze.
“You don’t have to do this.” She rejected him decisively.
Murong Qiao was generous, and Yu Xiao liked An Nuo’s acting skills very much.
She felt that everything was quite good now.
Moreover, Yu Xiao had not fallen to that level of moral degradation.
The smile on Brother Li’s face gradually faded. “What do you mean?”
Yu Xiao stood up and looked at him from a condescending angle. “Forget about the money. With my current investor, 1 can have as much as I want.”
She sneered, not interested at all in the card Brother Li handed over.
Seeing that Yu Xiao was so uncooperative, Brother Li frowned slightly. He was a little surprised by the investor Yu Xiao mentioned.
From Yu Xiao’s tone, the investor’s background was not small. Who could be so generous?
Even if Yu Xiao didn’t understand the Murong Family’s background in detail, he still knew a little. Moreover, everyone had heard of Shengjing Group’s reputation. If they left even a little for the others, it would be enough for them to eat for the rest of their lives.
After saying this, Yu Xiao ate as usual. Her attitude and movements were so natural, as if she wasn’t the one who firmly refused just now.
However, as a director, Yu Xiao had seen this kind of thing many times and was already used to it.
It was already nighttime, and the colorful nightlife officially began with the neon lights.
Murong Qiao and An Nuo were standing at the entrance of a bar.
Dazzling fluorescent colors covered the signboard. Two waiters in suits stood at the door, and faint music came from behind the open door.
“This… is the place you want to bring me to?” Murong Qiao asked her after a moment of hesitation.
An Nuo nodded. “Right here.”
“So the boy you like is here?” Murong Qiao asked again.
At the mention of a bar, it always gave a bad impression.
An Nuo quickly waved her hand to clarify. “He is here, yes, but he works here.”
At the mention of that boy, An Nuo’s face reddened, and a thin pink blush appeared on her face.
She had fallen in love with a boy recently, but she was busy filming Wulin Universe and studying during the day, so she rarely had time to look for him.
Later, she found out from her classmates that he had a part-time job here at night. An Nuo liked him very much, but she was afraid that she would be impulsive, so she asked Murong Qiao to come and help.
An Nuo had always believed in Murong Qiao’s taste. If she nodded and said yes, An Nuo would confess to him.
“Alright, alright, alright. Let’s go in first.” Murong Qiao was helpless.
They walked into the bar, down a long corridor, turned another corner, and were inside.
It was a bar, so there was no intense music playing. However, there was a stage not far away, and a person was humming a song softly on it.
“It’s that person. His name is Qingchuan.” An Nuo suddenly tugged at Murong Qiao’s sleeve.
Looking in the direction An Nuo was pointing, Murong Qiao immediately saw a slender boy standing at the bar counter.
He was wearing the standard clothes of a bartender and his fair and beautiful hands were focused on wiping the wine glass. When he lowered his head, his focused gaze landed on the wine glass, as if he was looking at his lover.
“Find a seat first.” Murong Qiao looked away.
Ever since the two of them entered, there were many eager gazes on them. Murong Qiao felt that she was about to be seen through by those fiery gazes.
Two beautiful girls appearing at the bar at this time would always make one’s imagination run wild.
An Nuo looked around belatedly. “Okay.”
She also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly chose a seat.
The bar was a two-story, double-storied designed building.
An Nuo and Murong Qiao booked a private room on the second floor and went up the stairs to find a U-shaped seat.
They were sitting in a high position and could see the situation on the first floor of the bar clearly. Moreover, they were very close to the boy called Qingchuan and could see his every move clearly.
Within their sights, Qingchuan mixed a glass of cocktail and pushed it to a female guest before giving her a rose.
There was a hint of frivolity in his actions, making Murong Qiao subconsciously unhappy.
“What do you like about him?” Murong Qiao asked casually.
There were not many customers in the bar at this moment. Murong Qiao and An Nuo didn’t drink in the private room and only chatted.
“He’s very good-looking and has a good temperament.” An Nuo stared at Qing Chuan’s figure and replied, “My heart moved when I saw him previously.”
Fine, asking was the same as not asking.
Falling in love was something that couldn’t be explained by metaphysics.
Murong Qiao glanced at Qingchuan. He was indeed standing there quietly.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw a man sitting in front of the bar.
The man was muscular and strong like an ox. His huge body sat there and was extremely oppressive.
“Give me a drink,” he called out.
Qingchuan glanced up at him. “What kind?”
“Bloody Mary.” The man grinned.
Qingchuan nodded and began to mix the ingredients.
His movements were smooth. A bottle of wine could be played like a flower in his hand. Then, the transparent wine was poured out from the bottle and into the mixer like a stream of river. The scene could be said to be pleasing to the eye.
His mixing skill was not bad. Murong Qiao nodded. Just as she was about to turn around and ask An Nuo, she saw An Nuo holding her face with both hands and looking at Qingchuan intently.
“Here’s your drink.” Qingchuan walked out from the bar and placed a glass of red wine in front of the man.
The man glanced at the drink, but he didn’t intend to drink it. Instead, he reached out and groped Qingchuan’s butt when he turned around.
Yes, he had touched him openly without any shame in front of others and took advantage of him.
Murong Qiao took in this scene clearly and immediately frowned..
