Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Characters
"It looks like the one next to your university's food street."
Shu Wan was somewhat surprised and responded, "Impressive, you can even tell from this."
Fu Siyu didn't reply but instead called Shu Wan.
Shu Wan hesitated for a moment but still answered the phone, holding the receiver to her ear.
The magnetic voice of Fu Siyu wrapped around Shu Wan's ear through the phone, "Why did you go there? Did Fu Yang cause trouble at school?"
"No," Shu Wan's ears unconsciously turned red, "I went there to attend class."
"That makes sense, you haven't graduated yet."
"How did you know I had lunch there? You guessed it from the photo?"
"Um," Fu Siyu responded, "because I used to study there."
"So that's why, no wonder." It turned out, Fu Siyu was somewhat her senior.
"There's a place at the end of the street that has decent raincoat fish; you should try it next time."
"Okay, thanks."
Given Fu Siyu's experience, Shu Wan asked him some questions about the school.
The two chatted, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Estate.
"I'm home now; I'll have to go," Shu Wan got out of the car.
"Okay," Fu Siyu nodded, "you hang up then."
Only after Shu Wan had hung up did Fu Siyu put away his phone.
He set the phone aside, "Go ahead, continue."
However, there was no reply from the other side.
Fu Siyu lifted his head to meet a pair of curious, fox-like eyes.
"Tsk tsk, Mr. Fu who's above worldly matters, when have you ever shared a dining recommendation with anyone? Something's off with you, Mr. Fu."
Fu Siyu's expression hardened slightly, "I brought you here not to gossip."
"Hey," his curiosity growing, the man leaned forward lazily, "Come on, tell me who you were talking to? You have a heart of flesh after all?"
"I was just lending a hand casually," Fu Siyu's expression remained calm, "She's just a business partner."
"Ah." The man chuckled but said nothing, "Alright then, when will you introduce me to this business partner?"
"If you're so idle, go follow up on that project in F state."
"Alright, can I drop it?" the man raised his hands in surrender, "Let's get back to the topic we talked about earlier..."
Fu Siyu didn't want to continue, and the man didn't ask any further, sitting up straight and beginning to discuss work matters.
Meanwhile, Fu Siyu's gaze lingered on his phone for a moment before he withdrew it and returned his focus to the documents.
At that moment inside the Imperial Manor, Shu Wan had just changed clothes, preparing for a nap when her agent called, "You're in luck, you've hit the jackpot this time!"
"What happened?"
"Do you know about Director Zhang's new film? It's a grand historical drama, and the role of the second female lead isn't finalized yet. The crew has informed you to come for the audition tomorrow. You must grasp this opportunity, it's all a big production."
Her agent spoke rapidly, many words were incomprehensible to Shu Wan, what she cared about was, "Can it make money?"
"...How did you get so fixated on money? But thinking about it is good. If you get this role, with your face, your visibility will skyrocket, and then endorsements and advertisements will have you collecting money till your hands soften."
"Okay," Shu Wan knew, in this era, being a celebrity was very profitable, and she was in need of money, "Do I need to prepare anything?"
"I'll send you the script in a bit. Just memorize your lines."
"Okay."
