As the group was happily toasting each other, suddenly a large group of people entered.

Upon seeing the group, Kim Jong-kook quickly stood up and said something to them before preparing to leave for a while. Haha, seeing this, also got up and left with him.

Immediately afterwards, Kwang-soo and Song Ji-hyo also quickly got up, leaving only Lee Chung-san sitting at the table.

Because Li Qingshan had his back to the hall, he did not notice what was happening behind him.

After eating a few pieces of roasted meat by himself, Li Qingshan couldn't help but wonder who it was that made everyone at the table go over and greet him.

So he turned around and his eyes met those of Yoona.

Lin Yoona froze the moment she saw Li Qingshan, staring at him intently, as if time had stood still.

Li Qingshan saw Jia Zhen waving at him, signaling him to come over, so he wiped his mouth, got up, and slowly walked over.

His attire today was very casual: a motorcycle leather jacket, cargo pants, and hiking boots, giving him an air of untamed freedom.

The newly arrived group watched as Li Qingshan gradually approached.

"Aoyama, let me introduce you. This is director Kim Sung-hoon, this is screenwriter Yoon Hyun-ho, this is Hyun Bin, this is Yoo Hae-jin, and I don't need to introduce this one, right?" Gap-jin introduced everyone with a smile, and when he got to Im Yoon-a, he even made a lighthearted joke.

"Hello, I've heard so much about you! You're much more handsome in person than in the videos." Kim Sung-hoon warmly extended his hand and shook hands firmly with Lee Cheong-san.

"Hello, I'm Yoon Hyun-ho, nice to meet you." Yoon Hyun-ho's attitude was also very friendly.

"Hello, I'm Hyun Bin, it's nice to meet you." Hyun Bin smiled warmly and shook hands with Lee Cheong-san.

After Li Qingshan greeted everyone in a friendly manner, he was warmly invited to sit down.

After he sat down, he would glance at Lim Yoon-ah from time to time. Lim Yoon-ah did not say a word from beginning to end, but her eyes were fixed on Li Qingshan.

After listening for a while, Li Qingshan finally understood why these people had gathered together for a meal.

It turns out that Kim Sung-hoon and Yoon Hyun-ho are preparing to start filming their new movie "Confidential Assignment." Today was a dinner gathering for the main cast and crew who have already been confirmed. No wonder Kwang-soo and Song Ji-hyo rushed over to say hello. As actors, this is an essential part of social etiquette.

Yoo Hae-jin is humorous and witty, while Hyun Bin is quiet and reserved when facing strangers. The screenwriter and director are overly enthusiastic towards Lee Cheong-san.

During this time, everyone exchanged pleasantries. Liu Haizhen took the initiative to chat with Li Qingshan, showing no airs of a senior, and sincerely expressed his earnest hope that Li Qingshan would help promote the film after its release.

After the director and screenwriter whispered a few words to each other, they turned their attention to Li Qingshan.

"Lee Cheong-san, would you be interested in making a movie? Your image is perfect for it. We'd like you to play the main villain in our film." Screenwriter Yoon Hyun-ho suddenly extended a warm invitation to Lee Cheong-san.

Everyone at the table was stunned by the screenwriter's words and looked at Li Qingshan with surprise.

After her initial surprise, Lin Yoona was overjoyed and blinked frantically, signaling Li Qingshan to quickly agree.

"I've never made a movie before." Li Qingshan noticed Lin Yoona's gaze, looked sincerely at the director and screenwriter, and truthfully explained his situation.

Kim Sung-hoon waved his hand and said, "This is not a problem. I can guide you. I have watched your videos. You have the potential to be an actor. You have such a good image and such good skills. Nothing else is a problem."

"Yes, you're really suitable. It's an action movie, so it won't be difficult for you." The screenwriter chimed in. When Li Qingshan walked over, he felt it was a real shame that Li Qingshan, with his outstanding appearance, wasn't making movies.

"Oppa, answer it." Im Yoona finally couldn't help but say. She hadn't seen Lee Cheong-san for a long time, and just now, she had fallen deeply in love again. How wonderful it would be to have such a good opportunity to spend time together every day.

Looking at the longing in Lim Yoon-a's eyes, Li Qingshan turned to Gap Jin and asked the director and screenwriter, "May I see the script?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen was so happy he almost jumped for joy. He knew in his heart that Li Qingshan was ready to take on the role. He had been trying his best to signal to Li Qingshan, but Li Qingshan hadn't looked at him.

The director and his team happened to have the script with them, so Li Qingshan immediately began to read it carefully. After a quick glance, he estimated that filming wouldn't take too long and wouldn't affect his other plans.

Lee Cheong-san extended his hands to Kim Sung-hoon and Yoon Hyun-ho. The director and screenwriter quickly grasped Lee Cheong-san's hands. They hadn't had much hope, but they hadn't expected to succeed. The two were overjoyed.

The director and screenwriter genuinely felt that Li Qingshan was suitable for the role. Secondly, they thought Li Qingshan was a walking publicity stunt. Thirdly, the main villain wasn't a particularly important actor, and even if the role were recast, the investment company would be happy to cast Li Qingshan after careful consideration. It was a win-win situation.

Li Qingshan hadn't even read the script carefully; he actually really wanted to try making a movie.

Hyun Bin remained mostly silent, but he could tell that Lee Cheong-san had likely taken the role because of Im Yoon-ah.

Needless to say, Yoo Hae-jin is a seasoned veteran, very shrewd. Song Ji-hyo and Lee Kwang-soo were also happy for Lee Cheong-san.

Li Qingshan himself was quite interested, considering it a completely new experience, and he also had the time; postponing China's plans a little wouldn't be a problem.

"Qingshan, we're all family here, so I'll just call you that. Do you mind cutting your hair short?" Yoon Hyun-ho asked casually when he saw Lee Qingshan's long hair.

"I'm planning to go get my hair cut with Kwang-soo hyung tomorrow." Lee Cheong-san really didn't care about this at all. He wasn't an idol, so he didn't have anything to worry about.

After chatting happily for a while, the group returned to their original seats, while Jia Zhen stayed behind.

"Ah, the pay for this kind of commercial film is quite good, especially with Hyun Bin in it. I reckon the box office won't be bad," Song Ji-hyo said with envy. After all, who wouldn't want to work with a popular actor?

"I read the script and felt it was just average. It's only selling the stars Hyun Bin and Im Yoon-ah." Li Qingshan genuinely felt that the script was rather ordinary.

A short while later, Lin Yoona quietly walked over and sat down next to Li Qingshan.

Lee Cheong-san noticed that Kim Jong-kook next to him had moved his seat, but he ignored it until Im Yoon-ah sat down. Then he looked up and glanced at the table of the Confidential Aid crew.

"When did you get back?" After sitting down, Lim Yoona looked at Li Qingshan with a smile and asked softly.

Li Qingshan thoughtfully tidied up the table in front of Lin Yun'er. "She just arrived this morning."

"Take me home tonight, the assistants have all left." Lim Yoona said softly, standing very close to Lee Cheong-san, while gently kicking him with her foot.

Li Qingshan glanced at her and nodded.

Yoona has a lively and cheerful personality. After sitting down, she started chatting and laughing with everyone. To Lee Cheong-san's right was Song Ji-hyo, and to his left was Yoona. Song Ji-hyo nudged Lee Cheong-san, raised her eyebrows, and had a teasing expression on her face.

After sitting for a while, Lim Yoona returned to her table.

Jia Zhen returned, sat down, and took a sip of wine. "It's settled. The pay is pretty good. I'll help you sign the contract tomorrow. If filming goes smoothly, it'll be done in half a month."

Li Qingshan happily raised his glass to celebrate with everyone.

Song Ji-hyo and Haha are both big drinkers, and even after everyone at Im Yoon-ah's table had left, they still held onto the others, not wanting them to leave.

Li Qingshan and Lin Yun'er worked together seamlessly, taking down the two drunkards in just one round.

The two took a taxi back to the neighborhood and strolled slowly along the quiet tree-lined paths. Along the way, Lin Yoona affectionately linked arms with Li Qingshan and would occasionally look up at him.

"Did you come to see me when you were in Hengdian?" Lin Yoona turned to the side and asked Li Qingshan in a charming manner. She had seen someone who looked a lot like Li Qingshan when she was filming in Hengdian.

Li Qingshan glanced at Lin Yoona with some surprise. He had been wearing a cycling mask, but he still managed to be recognized.

"How did you recognize me?"

"I felt like it just by looking at your figure. Everyone else was shouting excitedly, but you didn't do anything and just stood there blankly." Lim Yoona pouted, looking smug, as if she was very clever.

Li Qingshan happened to be in Zhejiang Province at the time. Knowing that Lin Yoona was filming there, he went to check on her and unexpectedly ran into her at work.

He just watched quietly from the side, wearing sunglasses and a face mask, thinking she wouldn't recognize him.

Just as Lin Yoona was about to get into the car, she kept glancing in his direction. Li Qingshan simply watched her get in without ever saying hello.

For more than a year, Lim Yoona didn't contact Li Qingshan much, and only learned about his situation through video calls.
