Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

Li Yitong looked around. Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity. After thinking for a moment, she pulled Chen Mo and walked outside. There were too many people around to ask questions in detail.

After leaving the film company, Li Yitong insisted on treating Chen Mo to dinner to celebrate.

"Today is my treat to celebrate your successful audition."

She said with a smile, "You can't refuse."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two drove to a creative cuisine restaurant near Sanlitun.

The interior design is very stylish, with soft lighting and green plant partitions between each booth, providing good privacy.

After taking her seat, Li Yitong couldn't wait to ask:

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened during the audition? Why did you end up fighting with Director Wu?"

Chen Mo briefly recounted what happened, from Director Wu's questioning to their "exchange" and then to the director's final reaction.

Li Yitong's eyes widened as she listened.

"You beat Coach Wu into submission?"

She lowered her voice, but couldn't hide her surprise. "Coach Wu is a well-known tough guy in the industry. He used to make martial arts films in Hong Kong, and his kung fu is amazing!"

"I didn't defeat him, we just sparred a bit," Chen Mo said modestly.

"Don't be modest."

Li Yitong rolled her eyes at him, but her eyes were filled with amusement.

"To make someone like Coach Wu submit, it's not something that can be done with a simple sparring match; you must have beaten him into submission."

She picked up her water glass, looking at Chen Mo with admiration and curiosity in her eyes:

"Chen Mo, you're a great actor, you're amazing at martial arts, and you're handsome too... You're so versatile! I can't even imagine how popular your drama would be if it aired."

"It's not that exaggerated. Whether it becomes popular or not depends on luck."

The food arrived, and the two ate and chatted.

Li Yitong talked about the preparations for the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and mentioned the preparations she made for playing Huang Rong.

During this period, she watched the previous versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" repeatedly and even hired a dialogue coach to practice that lively way of speaking.

"Huang Rong is too difficult to play."

Li Yitong sighed, "You have to be clever and quick-witted, innocent and cute, and also chivalrous. If you don't act it well, it will just be seen as pretending to be cute, or being too shrewd."

"I think you'll definitely be fine. You have a lively and spirited quality, quite like Huang Rong."

Chen Mo comforted her, his tone sincere.

"Really?" Li Yitong's eyes lit up when she heard the sincere words.

"It's true."

Li Yitong smiled, her cheeks slightly flushed:

"Thanks."

As the two were chatting, Chen Mo's phone rang.

It's Yang Mi.

He glanced at the screen and said to Li Yitong:

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

"It's okay, you can answer it."

Chen Mo got up and walked to the corner of the restaurant's corridor.

"Hey, Honey."

Where are you?

Yang Mi's voice came through, carrying her uniquely lazy tone.

"Having dinner with friends."

"Are you free tonight? Come over to my place and let's talk about your future plans."

Chen Mo glanced at the time: "What time?"

"Nine o'clock, the usual place."

Yang Mi paused for a moment, then said, "Room number 1808."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo was walking back to his seat.

Halfway there, he saw a man in a casual suit walk up to Li Yitong.

Chen Mo stopped in his tracks, somewhat curious. Was this person trying to strike up a conversation?

"Excuse me for bothering you."

The man smiled, his gaze fixed on Li Yitong's face.

"I think you are very beautiful."

Li Yitong paused for a moment, then nodded politely.

"Thanks."

"I work in investment, and my surname is Wang."

The man handed over a business card. "I'd like to get to know you. Would it be possible to add each other on WeChat?"

That's a very direct statement, but the approach is very old.

Li Yitong took the business card, glanced at it, and smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, but I don't add strangers on WeChat."

The refusal was tactful, but the meaning was clear.

The man persisted: "Don't misunderstand, I really just want to make friends. You see, it's fate that we met here..."

As he spoke, he took out his phone, opened the WeChat QR code, and handed it to Li Yitong.

The smile on Li Yitong's face faded a little.

Just as Chen Mo was about to step in to help, Li Yitong suddenly smiled and said in a relaxed tone:

"Mr. Wang, to be honest, I like women. So... I'm really sorry."

The man was stunned by these words.

Chen Mo was also stunned.

The man's smile froze, and he awkwardly put his phone away.

"Oh...I see. Well...sorry to bother you."

He turned and walked away quickly, his back looking somewhat disheveled.

Li Yitong picked up the business card and threw it into the trash can at her feet. She picked up her water glass, took a sip, and her expression was as calm as if nothing had happened.

Chen Mo looked at her, and suddenly remembered that there were indeed rumors about Li Yitong and Tian Xiwei...

Could it be that Tong Xinwei is real?

It's unclear who used the external soul bone, but judging from the situation, it should be Li Yitong.

Chen Mo imagined Li Yitong and Tian Xiwei stacked together.

He pulled out a chair, sat back down, and looked at Li Yitong.

When Li Yitong saw him return, she smiled at him:

"About work?"

"Yeah, I have to work overtime tonight," Chen Mo said casually.

Li Yitong found this a bit strange. Why would an artist work overtime? But she wisely refrained from asking further.

The two continued eating.

Li Yitong talked about the fun things that happened while filming "Chaoge" in Hengdian, and when she mentioned the funny things Bai Mengyan did on set, the two of them laughed.

Not long after, the two finished their meal.

As I stepped out of the restaurant, it was already completely dark.

Sanlitun is brightly lit and bustling with people at night.

"Let me take you home."

Chen Mo turned to look at Li Yitong.

"OK."

In the car, the two chatted casually.

Li Yitong leaned back in the passenger seat, looking at the night view outside the window, and suddenly said:

"Chen Mo, don't you think it would be interesting if we collaborated on 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'?"

"Probably so, Yang Kang and Huang Rong have quite a few scenes together."

"yes."

Li Yitong turned to look at him, "I'm really looking forward to it."

The car drove up to the entrance of the residential area where Li Yitong lived.

"That's enough for now."

Li Yitong unbuckled her seatbelt. "I can get in by myself."

"it is good."

Li Yitong got out of the car, walked to the window, and bent down:

"Chen Mo, I hope you can get the audition."

"I hope so too, thank you for recommending me to audition."

"No need to thank me anymore."

Li Yitong smiled and said, "I'm leaving now. Let me know if you get news about the audition."

"it is good."

Li Yitong turned and walked into the residential area. After a few steps, she turned back and waved.

Chen Mo watched her leave and started the car.

I checked the time; it was 8:30.

There was still half an hour until my appointment with Yang Mi at nine o'clock.

He drove towards the hotel.

On the way, I kept thinking about what Li Yitong had said earlier, "I like women."

Is it an excuse or the truth?

Chen Mo shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

In the entertainment industry, things are often a mix of truth and falsehood, and sometimes even the people involved can't tell the difference.

He has to work overtime tonight.

For Yang Mi, it's definitely not as simple as just "talking about development".

After driving to the hotel and parking, Chen Mo walked into the lobby.

Familiar hotel, familiar procedures.

He took the elevator, pressed the floor button, and walked to the room door.

Knock on the door.
