Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 11, no matter where the road is, you, Young Master Zhou, can always find a smooth path?

……

Shen Yichen turned to look at the man in the back seat, his tone unusually teasing, "Young Master Zhou, what do you mean, hmm? You brought her all the way from Yuncheng to Beijing."

"Is it to your liking?"

He used to not even glance at those socialites, heiresses, celebrities, and models. Countless people went to great lengths, going through all sorts of hardships, just to show their faces in front of him, but he wouldn't even lift a finger.

Shen Yichen didn't believe he would be interested in a girl who looked like she wasn't even an adult.

She is beautiful, indeed.

But what beautiful people hasn't he seen?

"Didn't I already say that?"

Zhou Jinghuai didn't even glance at him, his clear and calm voice remaining as unperturbed as ever, "On the way."

"Do you think I look easy to fool?"

Looking at Zhou Jinghuai's still relatively gentle expression, and relying on their friendship of more than ten years, Shen Yichen, for the first time, boldly and unrestrainedly teased, "Or is it that no matter which road you take, Young Master Zhou, you can always find a smooth path?"

It was just a joke, and Shen Yichen didn't expect Zhou Jinghuai to respond. Although he was indeed quite curious, he was prepared to say something else to change the subject.

But don't want to.

Sitting in the back seat, Zhou Jinghuai lazily raised his eyes, glanced at him, and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's not on the way to your house, get out of the car."

Shen Yichen, "..."

……

Filming for "The World's Destiny" has just finished, and Li Wu's agent has not yet arranged any other roles for her.

Li Wu took a short break for a few days.

In fact, Li Wu often doesn't get many acting roles.

In particular, there are many cases where a actress is selected by the production team one day, but the next day, a fellow actress in the same production team sees her in person and demands to be replaced.

She can only stay if she agrees to change her look and makeup.

The next day, during her break, Li Wu approached her agent and asked if she could continue learning the guzheng.

"Didn't you finish filming your scenes? Why are you still learning that?"

The manager is probably out promoting her other artists. The background noise sounds a bit loud, like it's at some event.

Li Wu raised her voice slightly, afraid that her manager wouldn't hear her clearly, "...I want to learn more, just in case it comes in handy in the future."

The agent who manages Li Wu is a pretty good person.

She would do anything within her power to help her artists.

After hearing Li Wu's words.

After a moment's thought, the agent agreed, "Then I'll go and ask around to see if any other artists in the company are learning the guzheng. You can join them."

"If not, then there's nothing I can do."

It's unrealistic to expect the company to hire a private tutor for someone like Li Wu, who isn't even a third-tier celebrity.

"I'm very grateful that Sister Xin is willing to ask," Li Wu said gently.

"Then Sister Xin, you go ahead and get busy."

Just as Li Wu was about to hang up the phone.

Sister Xin hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "The day after tomorrow night, Mr. Zhang from Shengya Technology is having a dinner party, and several of the company's artists will be there. If you want to..." "I won't go."

Li Wu seemed to know what her manager was going to say, and interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

This wasn't the first time Li Wu had refused.

In this industry, climbing the ladder always comes at a price.

Whether in the light or in the dark.

Sister Xin will spare no effort to provide all the resources she has to her artists, but at the same time, she will respect their choices.

In this kind of situation, it's obviously more effective to do it willingly than to be forced to do it, as this will generate more motivation and achieve a mutually satisfactory result.

So when she heard Li Wu refuse again, Sister Xin paused and didn't say anything else.

She simply said, "Then you don't have any announcements for the time being. It's probably just the follow-up promotion for Director Jiang's movie, which will require your cooperation."

“If other production teams have suitable roles for you, I will help you apply. You can also look online for more information…”

"it is good."

Li Wu agreed to everything Sister Xin said.

After hanging up the phone.

Li Wu scrolled through her phone a couple of times, then her gaze unconsciously drifted back to the desk.

There was a pause.

She reached out and opened the thick English reference book on the table, taking out the business card that was tucked inside the first page.

White background with black lettering, sophisticated and minimalist, the business card features a Chinese name printed in the center.

Zhou Jinghuai.

This was given to Li Wu by Zhou Jinghuai's assistant when she got out of the car that day.

The cold, hard business card simply shows a name and a string of contact information.

However, the font must have been designed by a master; it's sleek and sophisticated, and it looks like it's a private contact method.

Actually, there was no need to look; Li Wu had already entered those eleven numbers into the search box.

The profile picture has been the same one over and over again; I've seen it several times already.

That was a corner of the snow-capped mountain peak. The perpetual snow covered the towering summit, stretching for thousands of miles, and all was silent. Solemn, crisp, clear, and serene.

Aloof and cold, inexplicably captivating.

Li Wu glanced at the suit jacket and handkerchief that had already been washed, and hesitated for several days about whether to contact him. At this moment, it seemed that she had suddenly made up her mind.

After a series of internal struggles and mental activities.

Li Wu's fingers trembled, but she still sent the friend request.

The moment the application message was sent.

Li Wu's heart was inexplicably gripped.

She looked at the page waiting for her friend request to be accepted.

Slowly, silently, an indescribable tension spread from the bottom of my heart.
