Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 367 Tong Liya's Choice
Guess who I ran into?

"Ma Xun, hehe..."

"I happened to see a car and recognized the person inside as Ma Xun."

"Ah? And then?"

"Then I pounced on him!"

"Pounce on it? The car?"

"Of course."

"Huh? Wasn't it hit by a car? Holy crap! You're so bold? I don't believe it."

"Haha... If you don't believe me, that's fine too."

This is what Tong Liya heard on the Central Academy of Drama campus.

That's why she called Ma Xun.

It was quite a coincidence that Tong Liya came to the Central Academy of Drama to inquire about admission-related matters; she plans to formally enroll this year.

I didn't know Tang Yan at first, but after asking around, I found out that she was from the class of 02 and was the school beauty.

I never expected that the school beauty would do something like this!

Tong Liya was suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of justice.

I must call Brother Ma Xun!
In Tong Liya's mind, Tang Yan must have ill intentions!
So, after the call connected, Tong Liya told Ma Xun everything she had seen and heard.

In other words, Tang Yan deliberately let you bump into him!
This……

Tong Liya admitted that she was quite impulsive when she spoke, and only after she finished did she realize that there seemed to be a problem with what she said.

So, from what standpoint did she say these things?
Messenger of justice?
Is it because you can't stand seeing people stage accidents for extortion?
That's strange, isn't it?

Change it, change it.

Hmm... friend?
Yes, Mr. Ma and I are friends, so at least we can't let him be deceived.

This stance is good, so let's stick with this one.

Tong Liya racked her brains to figure out her stance, but... what was Ma Xun's reaction?

"Okay, I know."

what?
That's it?

Tong Liya was extremely surprised. She really couldn't understand why Ma Xun had given such a simple reply... um... shouldn't it be...?

The thought that she hadn't even received a word of praise made Tong Liya feel a little sad.

But then I thought, was I doing this just to get praise from Ma Xun?

Yeah, that's not quite right either.

“Um…” Tong Liya couldn’t hold back any longer. She wanted to ask, “You, you plan to… what… oh, my question is… what will you do afterward…”

Her stammering made Ma Xun laugh on the other end of the phone.

What kind of reward do you want?

This question left Tong Liya speechless.

Why are you suddenly asking this?

But it seems that as the boss, it's not a problem for him to ask that question.

These days, there are rewards for reporting crimes, aren't there?

However, Tong Liya still smiled and said:

“Mr. Ma, I don’t want any reward.”

This should be a perfectly normal answer.

But Ma Xun laughed and said, "You want more, don't you?"

This...something doesn't seem right!

"I...I didn't," Tong Liya said anxiously.

She didn't originally want anything, but... but...

Ma Xun immediately continued, "Don't hide your desires in front of me. You can tell me what you want, and I believe that with my abilities, I can achieve most of them."

His words angered Tong Liya.

"I want the moon in the sky, can you get it for me?"

Unexpectedly, Ma Xun laughed loudly.

"Are you angry? That shouldn't be the case. When you exposed Tang Yan like this, didn't you think about getting anything in return?"

This question really struck Tong Liya, leaving her stunned for a long time.

Yes, why would I do that?

Is it just because he considers Ma Xun a friend?
But he's a big boss, does he even consider you, Tong Liya, a friend?

Obviously, there isn't one.

In Ma Xun's eyes, Tong Liya was just a tiny newcomer in the entertainment industry.

With such a huge gap between them, how could they possibly be friends?

It was clearly just wishful thinking on Tong Liya's part.

That is, doing good deeds without expecting anything in return?
Tong Liya blushed when she thought of this.

No matter how harshly Tang Yan's actions are described, at most they can be considered shameless and scheming.

How much damage could it really cause to Ma Xun?
and so……

Could it be jealousy?
This sudden idea startled Tong Liya.

What if Ma Xun thought the same way?

If he were to describe himself like that, then...

Just then, Ma Xun suddenly said this.

"It seems inconvenient to talk on the phone. How about we find an opportunity to talk in person tomorrow?"

This sentence was a lifesaver for Tong Liya.

"Okay, okay."

Yes, we can hang up now, this conversation can end.

Tong Liya no longer needs to feel awkward.

Hang up the phone quickly.

Oh, wait a minute.

It seems we haven't agreed on where to chat yet.

Thank goodness, the text message arrived.

"Tomorrow at 2 PM, Enlight Media."

It is concise and to the point.

Tong Liya breathed a sigh of relief.

Little did she know that Ma Xun was laughing nonstop after hanging up the phone.

……

The next day came quickly.

But for Tong Liya, it felt like an eternity.

She was even counting down every single second.

She arrived near Enlight Media quite early, but she really didn't dare to go over before 2 PM.

Only when it was almost time did I dare to enter the gate.

She was wearing an ordinary down jacket today, but she didn't look bulky at all.

The receptionist quickly understood her purpose and simply said, "Please follow me."

Then let's go along with it.

Soon, Tong Liya arrived at the door of an office.

The receptionist opened the door for her.

"Boss, Miss Tong Liya has arrived."

All of this is normal; it's just that Tong Liya is a bit nervous, which is why she feels that every detail is important.

"Let her in."

Ma Xun's voice came from inside, and Tong Liya nodded to the receptionist before walking into Ma Xun's office.

She was completely stunned the moment she stepped inside!
There was nothing else to it; Tang Yan was just sitting there, chatting and laughing with Ma Xun.

Could it be that the two of them have already hooked up?

Thinking about what I did before, this... this... am I the clown?!

Tong Liya was extremely embarrassed and unconsciously started picking at the ground with her toes.

She's a dancer, and currently still active, so the strength in her toes is quite impressive.

I don't know if we can find any marks on the ground, but the soles of the shoes are probably in danger.

When Ma Xun saw her like this, he almost burst out laughing inside.

"Oh right, do I need to introduce you? It seems you're all from the Central Academy of Drama."

Tang Yan was very enthusiastic, saying, "We don't know each other yet, but I guess we will in the future."

"I... I think I'm a year younger than you. I'll officially enroll this year," Tong Liya replied, but she felt uneasy inside.

"No wonder, otherwise, how could I not recognize such a beautiful classmate? Let me introduce myself, my name is Tang Yan."

"I've heard of you; everyone says you're the school beauty."

"No, no, there are so many beautiful girls in our school."

"My name is Tong Liya..."

After introducing themselves to each other, the two women were considered to have gotten to know each other.

So what should we talk about next?

Ma Xun was much more straightforward: "The latest project is 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.' The female lead has already been cast, but we're still missing a few supporting roles..."

So that's what this show is about.

Tong Liya was naturally very happy to hear this, but...

"Brother Ma, this Zhu Jiuzhen doesn't seem like a good woman."

Tang Yan has also made his choice.

Tong Liya felt quite uncomfortable.

Look at them, they used tricks and schemes, and they succeeded. The key point is, I already told Ma Xun about this, and he still…

fatuous!

This evaluation of Ma Xun came out of nowhere for no apparent reason.

However, thinking about it this way made Tong Liya feel much better.

At this moment, Ma Xun looked at Tong Liya and asked, "What kind of role are you planning to take?"

This...this...can I choose it myself?
"I, I haven't thought about it yet."

Tong Liya herself felt incredibly foolish for giving such a response.

But she really wasn't prepared at all.

This wasn't even mentioned before!

I understand why you sent two extra "Yitian" characters in your text message last night.

Alright, and now you're blaming Ma Xun?

"That's alright, let's talk about something else first."

Ma Xun appeared particularly magnanimous.

But Tong Liya felt that this man was acting!
At this moment, Tang Yan seemed to be displaying the plumage of a peacock.

"Brother Ma, about that matter before... well, it was a case of good things coming to those who wait. It means that Director Zhang Yimou really contacted me."

"Oh, is your leg better?"

"I'll be fine after a good night's sleep; I was just scared at the time."

Good heavens, this slut even clamped it up!

Tong Liya was furious.

However, Tong Liya has not yet noticed one thing: she has not sat down at all.

It seems they've forgotten about this, while Tang Yan is sitting here.

She...she was obviously too nervous.

And we can't blame her for that, after all, Tang Yan's account makes it seem like... this scheming woman really did win big!

shameless!

Tong Liya's current state of mind is really quite interesting.

We chatted for quite a while.

"Oh, why aren't you sitting down?"

Ma Xun's reminder only made Tong Liya more embarrassed.

I really don't know how to answer that.

Fortunately, their conversation was about to end.

It's over... What? It's over?!

Tong Liya felt like she had come for nothing, having gained absolutely nothing.

But an end is an end.

She left Enlight Media with Tang Yan, and then...

"You go alone, I have other things to do."

Aren't you going back to school?

"I'm still working part-time as a model."

"oh oh."

One advantage of the Central Academy of Drama is that, despite its small size, it still has living quarters.

Renting a place in Beijing is not easy, so Tang Yan and Tong Liya decided to stay at the Central Academy of Drama for the time being.

So, since she went to become a model, Tong Liya had no choice but to walk to school alone.

This departure... oh dear! The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

After all that effort, I ended up like a clown, getting nothing in return.

But just as Tong Liya walked away feeling sorry for herself, an Audi A6 suddenly stopped next to her.

This……

Ma Xun was in the car.

The car window rolled down, and Ma Xun looked at her.

She didn't say anything, but Tong Liya understood that she had to seize the opportunity.

Open the car door and get in!
……

"where to?"

"I do not know."

"You don't know why you got on the bus?"

"I...I feel so stupid."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because, because I did something stupid."

"Is it stupid? But I don't think it's stupid?"

"But why did you do that?"

"What did I do?"

"You knew the truth perfectly well, yet you still let her have her way. Why?"

"The role of Zhu Jiuzhen was decided by our team beforehand, and I have no reason to change that decision. As for the role she auditioned for after the 'car accident,' that was decided by Zhang Yimou. What did I do?"

"Ah You……"

Sitting in the car, Tong Liya felt much better after this conversation.

I never expected it to be like this.

But something still doesn't seem right.

"Wasn't Zhang Yimou's casting decision influenced by you?"

"That must be because of my influence."

That's right!
After hearing this, Tong Liya's expression changed again.

Ma Xun laughed, "But Tang Yan went to great lengths to pull this off, and it was a risky gamble. Isn't achieving this result a form of effort?"

Ah, this... Tong Liya really has no way to refute it.

"But, but..."

She pondered for a long time, but couldn't find anything to say.

Ma Xun smiled and said something that made Tong Liya feel comfortable.

"Of course, Tang Yan is such a scheming little vixen, I won't let her get away with this in the future."

Sure enough, Ma Xun was... but Tong Liya was inexplicably afraid at this moment.

Because the man in front of me is truly amazing.

It's even terrifying.

"Then, what would you do?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xun laughed again, "Are you really interested in what I do with her?"

So dirty...

Tong Liya blushed instantly, and her face turned bright red.

"I, my that..."

"Stop beating around the bush and tell me what's going on."

Ma Xun was decisive.

Just then, his car arrived near an intersection, and Ma Xun slowly pulled over to the side of the road, as if he were about to stop.

He said, "If we go straight now, I'll take you back to school. If we turn, we'll go to where I live. It's up to you."

This……

Tong Liya's face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed; she, she...

Is this how you reward me? ...Tong Liya thought to herself, but she didn't dare to say it aloud.

But Ma Xun said, "You must have heard some rumors about me. I only support my own people."

“This…” Tong Liya nodded timidly.

I have indeed heard of it, but now...

Ma Xun continued, "You're actually jealous of Tang Yan, right? Well, now's your chance to surpass her."

She only got the role of Zhu Jiuzhen in the TV series "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre", but I think you could play Xiao Zhao.

You know very well which role is more important, right?

It must be said that this is indeed the case.

But at this moment, Tong Liya was thinking of her role in "Warriors of Heaven and Earth".

"Then, why did you..." She couldn't finish her sentence, and her face turned even redder.

Ma Xun laughed again and said, "Okay, consider this as collecting interest from last time."

That's pretty bad.

But Tong Liya made a choice.

"Let's drive."

"Ok?"

"Turn."

After hearing this, Ma Xun started the car.

Soon after, they returned to Ma Xun's small courtyard.

Once inside, Ma Xun pulled off Tong Liya's down jacket until she was completely naked, like a lamb...

"Please, please be gentle," Tong Liya said, her voice trembling.

Ma Xun then kissed her pretty face.

light?
It doesn't exist.
