Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

Chapter 114 So, can she win you over?

(The ending of the previous chapter slightly affected Bai Lu's character, so I made a minor change that does not affect the plot.)

Tan Wen stepped forward, reached out his hand, and placed it on the doorknob amidst her somewhat nervous demeanor.

Get some rest.

He nodded slightly, and then, amidst her somewhat bewildered gaze, closed the door.

There was nothing I could do; my phone was vibrating.

He took out his phone, and as expected, it was Lu Yu calling. He didn't answer immediately, but called back after returning to his room.

"I was asleep and didn't hear it," Tan Wen explained.

"Sorry to wake you up," Lu Yu said with a hint of guilt. "I noticed you hadn't replied to my text message, and I was a little worried, so—"

"It's okay, go to sleep early, you have to get up early tomorrow."

"Okay," Lu Yu replied softly.

As Tan Wen hung up the phone, the words "I miss you" came through the receiver.

Lu Yuxiao listened to the dial tone and complained: Why did it hang up so quickly?

She threw down her phone, burrowed into the covers, opened her eyes, and pouted.

Just then, her phone rang. She immediately got up, reached for her phone, and opened it to see a text message from Tan Wen: I miss you too, goodnight!

She gave a satisfied hum, put down her phone, her breathing gradually calmed, and a smile lingered on her lips as she fell asleep.

The following morning, at the Heartbeat Hut.

Liu Haochun felt a little anxious. While browsing the internet, she accidentally came across a message that read:

A mysterious actress allegedly bullied a top-tier idol, kicking him out of a film project. This idol is rumored to be a male celebrity with four-character names.

When Liu Haochun thought of the four-character male celebrity, she inevitably thought of Yi Yangqianxi. From this, she inevitably connected the mysterious actress with herself.

This was her intuition.

Although the news was only mentioned in some forums and received almost no attention, she still couldn't suppress her anxiety.

She looked out the window, gazing at the path through the woods, wondering when he would return.

On the high-speed train.

Tan Wen told Lu Yu about booking a long-term room at the hotel.

Before Lu Yuxiao could even express her surprise, Tan Wen proactively explained that she had run into Bai Lu the previous night, and it was Bai Lu who had suggested it.

Lu Yuxiao: "What a coincidence, I ran into her yesterday too, and she told me the same thing."

Tan Wen joked, "Didn't you run into a cleaning lady?"

Lu Yu was a little embarrassed when she was exposed: "She talked about me with you?"

"Um."

"What did you say?"

"They say you're pretty and innocent, but then they find a man hiding in your room."

Lu Yu was slightly embarrassed and angry: "How could she say that about me!"

"But she's telling the truth." Seeing that Lu Yu was a little angry, Tan Wen added, "She didn't say your name, so only I could guess that."

Lu Yu pouted and ignored her.

Tan Wen opened the playlist he had compiled, took out Bluetooth earphones, put one in her ear, took her hand, and began to organize the script.

Lu Yu leaned on his shoulder, lost in thought. After a while, she suddenly said, "Bai Lu said she wants to work with me to win you over."

Tan Wen: "Didn't you assert your ownership in front of her at the time?"

"So, can she win you over?"

"Anyway, I'm pretty easy to pursue, so you'd better keep a close eye on me."

"snort."

Liu Haochun didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up on the balcony, she saw figures moving in the woods.

Every now and then, a familiar figure emerged, dragging a suitcase – it was Lu Yuxiao.

She immediately got up and waited for a moment, but Tan Wen still hadn't come out.

"Junko." Lu Yuxiao waved happily when she saw Liu Haochun upstairs.

Liu Haochun waved in response, wanting to ask why Tan Wen wasn't there, but didn't ask.

As if knowing her doubts, Lu Yuxiao took the initiative to say, "Tan Wen was called away by Director Lei."

Liu Haochun gave an "oh," and for some reason, after seeing Lu Yuxiao, she suddenly didn't want to recall the message she had seen earlier...

I told Tan Wen.

Director's office.

"One good news and one bad news." Lei Yi gestured for Tan Wen to sit down.

Tan Wen was speechless: "Why are you, a grown man, doing this? Tell me the good news."

Lei Yi: "Someone is interested in buying the copyright to 'Where the Wind Blows.' I'll give you their contact information later, and you can discuss the details with them."

It's finally here, faster than I imagined. I thought someone wouldn't contact me until after the second episode of "The Actor" aired.

Tan Wen suppressed his excitement: "What's the bad news?"

Lei Yi sighed, "The company didn't approve your studio's affiliation. After all, you don't have any works to back you up right now, so it's hard to convince the company leaders to give you such a deal."

Tan Wen nodded. He had given up hope on this matter, so he wasn't surprised.

"Okay, I understand. I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Wait a minute." Lei Yi stopped Tan Wen. "I recognize your talent. My idea is that you sign with our company first, and then set up your own studio when the conditions are right. This is the most suitable way for you right now."

.....

"Thank you for your concern for me," Tan Wen said calmly, "but I want to try things out on my own first."

Back at the cabin, Tan Wen encountered Liu Haochun on his way back to his bedroom.

He greeted Liu Haochun and prepared to go back to his room to discuss the script. He saw Liu Haochun open his mouth as if to say something, so he stopped.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Liu Haochun pondered for a second, then smiled, shook his head, and indicated that it was nothing.

Tan Wen felt a little strange, but with something on his mind, he didn't think much of it and casually said, "If anything happens, you can talk to me anytime."

"As if telling you would solve my problem."

"At least I can be by your side and face this together."

Tan Wen sat on the sofa on the balcony, lit a cigarette, took out his phone, and prepared to call back the number Lei Yi had given him.

"Give me one too," He Mi'er's voice came from next door.

.....

...

"When did you get back?" Tan Wen didn't offer him a cigarette, but got up and walked to the railing on the balcony.

He Mi'er was dressed very simply, probably the most conservative she had ever dressed in the small house, but it still couldn't hide her elegant and graceful demeanor.

"I got back this morning." He Mi'er reached out her hand, but Tan Wen didn't give her a cigarette. Instead, he took her arm.

"Come over here and sit with me for a while."

He Mi'er hesitated for a moment, and finally, with Tan Wen's help, she stepped over the railing and came to Tan Wen's balcony.

Are you sure you won't give me one?

Tan Wen shook his head.

"Then put out your cigarette too, I don't want to inhale secondhand smoke."

Tan Wenyi turned off the phone: "How is your father... the old man's health?"

"They're keeping us afloat with money; they won't die for now."

Has your mother returned?

"no."

Have you told your mother about us?

"No, saying it would only create new trouble."
