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

Chapter 42 Black Stockinged Feet Under the Dinner Table

When Chen Mo arrived at the address Bai Mengyan had given him, it was a Japanese restaurant hidden in a small alley in Sanlitun. The storefront was unassuming, but once you stepped inside, you were greeted by a hidden gem.

The waiter led him through a narrow corridor to the innermost private room.

"Guest, please take off your shoes."

The waiter opened the sliding door and quietly reminded them.

Chen Mo took off his shoes and entered the private room, which was decorated in a typical Japanese style.

The room was surrounded by tatami-style cushions, with a table placed in the center through a hollowed-out area.

Bai Mengyan and Li Yitong were already sitting opposite him. When they saw him come in, they both looked up.

"Chen Mo! You've finally arrived!"

Bai Mengyan was the first to greet everyone. She was wearing a light pink dress and her hair was tied in a high ponytail, making her look very lively.

Li Yitong sat next to her, wearing a black short dress and thin black stockings.

She saw Chen Mo and smiled slightly:

"Is there traffic?"

"Yeah, it's a bit congested."

Chen Mo sat down opposite them.

Several small dishes and a sashimi platter were already laid out on the table, and steam was rising from the sake pot.

"Let's order first, I'm starving."

Bai Mengyan pushed the menu over.

The three of them ordered some of the signature dishes.

Salmon sashimi, grilled eel, tempura platter, sushi rolls, and we also ordered a sukiyaki.

While waiting for the food, Bai Mengyan couldn't help but ask:

"Chen Mo, how did your audition go today?"

Li Yitong also looked over, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"It's alright, the director told me to wait for further notice."

"Which production crew was it for the audition?"

Li Yitong couldn't help but ask.

"Yan Xun from 'Princess Agents'".

Chen Mo briefly explained the audition process and the project background.

Bai Mengyan frowned after hearing this: "From what you're saying... there must be a lot of people vying for Yan Xun as the second male lead, right?"

Li Yitong nodded, "The competition is definitely fierce. Are you confident?"

"I've done my best; the rest is up to luck." Chen Mo smiled, not too concerned.

The two girls exchanged a glance, both with a hint of worry in their eyes.

In their view, although Chen Mo has good qualities, he is not signed with a big company and has no one to support him. In such a big production, his chances of winning against other actors are not high.

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't show any expression, Bai Mengyan assumed he was a little disappointed and offered some words of comfort:

"It's okay! You might get the job! Even if you don't, someone as talented as you is bound to get roles!"

"yes."

Li Yitong also comforted him, saying, "Eternal Love will be broadcast next year, and there will definitely be many opportunities then."

Chen Mo knew they meant well, so he didn't say much, just smiled and nodded.

The dishes were served one after another.

The three of them ate and chatted in a relaxed atmosphere.

Chen Mo picked up a piece of salmon, dipped it in wasabi soy sauce, and put it in his mouth. The fresh taste melted on his tongue.

Just as Chen Mo was about to pick up another chopstick, he accidentally dropped it on the ground.

Chen Mo bent down to pick it up.

His gaze naturally droops when he bends over.

Upon closer inspection, they were stunned.

Under the table, two slender legs stretched out side by side.

Li Yitong wore black stockings, the thin black stockings gleaming subtly under the light, revealing her beautifully shaped calves and slender ankles.

Her small feet dangled in the air, swaying gently unconsciously.

Bai Mengyan, standing next to her, had bare legs and fair skin that looked as delicate as porcelain in the bright light.

Her legs were straight, and she wore white socks, giving her a pure and alluring look, with her toes slightly curled inside the socks.

The contrast between black and white creates a strong visual impact.

Who put my main dish under the table?

Chen Mo's throat moved, and he couldn't help but swallow.

He picked up his chopsticks and was about to get up when he saw Li Yitong's feet still dangling there.

A wicked thought popped into my head.

Chen Mo stretched his hand forward and gently tickled the sole of Li Yitong's foot with his index finger.

"what!"

Caught off guard, Li Yitong cried out softly and jerked her legs back.

Bai Mengyan was speaking when she was interrupted by her shout and looked over in confusion:

"What's wrong, Yitong?"

Li Yitong's face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly tried to cover it up:

"N-nothing... I just bumped my head on the table by accident."

As she spoke, she secretly glared at Chen Mo, her eyes filled with reproach.

Chen Mo remained expressionless, put the chopsticks he had picked up aside, and asked the waiter to replace them with a new pair.

The three continued eating and chatting.

The conversation then shifted to recent entertainment news.

Have you seen what happened with Wang Baoqiang?

While eating tempura, Bai Mengyan said, "His wife, Ma Rong, cheated on him with his agent, and the internet is in an uproar right now."

Li Yitong nodded: "I saw it, it's so melodramatic. Baoqiang was so good to his wife, and then..."

"That's why you need to be careful when looking for a partner."

Bai Mengyan couldn't help but sigh, "But then again, how many couples or lovers in the entertainment industry turn against each other? The profits are too great, and the temptations are too numerous. I really don't know how Brother Baoqiang will get through this."

It's okay. Next year, Baoqiang will easily get through it by watching Nailiang's videos. After all, even Wu Dalang didn't cheer for Ximen Qing back then!

Chen Mo muttered to himself, took another sip of wine, and then spoke:

"This can be considered a way to cut losses for Baoqiang in advance. At least he wasn't kept in the dark forever."

"You're quite calm."

Bai Mengyan looked at him and asked, "What would you do if your girlfriend ran off with someone else?"

Chen Mo laughed when he heard this: "First of all, I won't find a girlfriend who can run away."

"Tch, that's easy for you to say."

Bai Mengyan pouted. "Who can guarantee anything about feelings?"

Just then, Chen Mo's phone rang.

He glanced at the screen; it was an unfamiliar number, but it showed as being from Beijing.

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

"Hello."

"Is this Mr. Chen Mo? I'm an assistant from the casting team for 'Princess Agents'."

A young male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Just to let you know, the director team has decided that you will play the role of Yan Xun, which you auditioned for."

Please come to Ciwen Media Company to sign the contract tomorrow afternoon at 2 PM. I will send you the address later.

Just as Chen Mo was about to speak, he suddenly felt something brush against the inside of his thigh.

Looking down, I saw Li Yitong's small feet.

She stretched her foot out at some point, her instep, encased in black stockings, gently brushing against his thigh, her toes lightly grazing him.

Chen Mo looked at Li Yitong and, seeing her provocative gaze, remained calm and placed his right hand naturally on his lap, just in time to grab the troublesome foot.

Li Yitong stiffened, trying to pull away, but Chen Mo held her tightly, his thumb still gently rubbing her foot.

Her face flushed instantly, but she dared not utter a sound, and could only bite her lip and glare at him.

Chen Mo's hands continued moving, but his voice remained steady:

"Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'll be there on time tomorrow."

"You're welcome, congratulations, Teacher Chen Mo."

Yan Xun got it.

Chen Mo casually told Sister Wang.

It seems that the entry "[the smile of Lady Luck]" has played a significant role.

Bai Mengyan was completely unaware of the undercurrents beneath the table. She watched as Chen Mo hung up the phone, still continuing to talk about Wang Baoqiang:

"If you ask me, a man still needs to have his own career. Look at Wang Baoqiang, even though his wife ran off with all the money, he's still a big star and can still make money acting..."

"By the way, Chen Mo,"

She suddenly remembered something, "Who called you? Was it for work?"

Chen Mo loosened Li Yitong's bound feet and said calmly:

"The casting team for 'Princess Agents' has notified me to sign the contract tomorrow."

"Sign a contract?"

Bai Mengyan was taken aback, not understanding at first, "What contract?"

"I got the role of Yan Xun."

There was a two-second silence in the private room.

Bai Mengyan's eyes widened: "Really?!"

Li Yitong stared at him in shock, forgetting to even pull her foot back.

"Really, we'll sign the contract tomorrow afternoon."

Chen Mo found their expressions somewhat amusing, but he downplayed it.

"Oh My God……"

Bai Mengyan opened her mouth, "You...you really got it?"

Chen Mo shrugged: "Maybe the director thinks I'm more suitable."

Bai Mengyan and Li Yitong exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They were just comforting Chen Mo, thinking that his chances of being selected were slim.

In the blink of an eye, he got the role.

"Chen Mo,"

Bai Mengyan leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Tell me honestly, have you recently had some stroke of luck, or met some important person?"

Although Li Yitong didn't speak, her eyes also revealed the same question.

Chen Mo laughed: "If I really knew any important people, would I need an audition?"

"That's true..."

Bai Mengyan scratched her head. "But... this is too sudden! That's a big production by Ciwen Media, and Yan Xun is the second male lead..."

"Good luck."

Chen Mo raised his glass. "Come on, let's celebrate."

The three cups clinked together.
