Huayu 95 Flowers: How did I become a top star?

Chapter 99 High-Quality Potential Partners

Perhaps due to the alcohol, Bai Lu's cheeks flushed red, like those of a ripe apple.

Suddenly, some embarrassing images flashed through her mind like uncontrollable movie clips. She abruptly stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with panic, her hands unconsciously clenching, and she screamed inwardly.

"No way! Wasn't it normal for company productions to have their own people acting in them? They didn't say anything about selling yourself! I want to go home!"

Just as she was struggling with her decision, Han Ziming's voice suddenly rang out.

"Let's go, you can stay here tonight."

The voice pulled her directly from her chaotic thoughts. Bai Lu suddenly raised her head, her eyes darting around, and stammered.

"Boss, let's... forget it, I've already booked a hotel."

Han Ziming glanced at his watch, frowned, waved his hand, and said in an unquestionable tone.

"Stay here, it's too late now. Come back to the company with me tomorrow!"

Bai Lu opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, but the words were blocked by Han Ziming's firm gaze.

She could only lower her head and follow behind Han Ziming, her heart pounding, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes.

Before long, the two of them went upstairs.

Han Ziming first raised his hand and knocked on the door to let the person inside know. Then, he skillfully entered a password on the keypad lock.

"The door is open."

The electronic sound echoed in the quiet hallway, making Bai Lu both curious and afraid.

Bai Lu followed Han Ziming into the house, and the scene before her eyes left her completely stunned.

On the sofa in the lobby sat a young and beautiful girl, staring at her with a curious expression, her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to see right through her.

Upon closer inspection, she recognized the person; it was Zhang Ruonan, the female lead in "The Beginning," who was now incredibly popular.

Bai Lu imagined it all herself, her face turning pale and then red, so embarrassed she felt like she was digging her toes out of a three-bedroom apartment, muttering to herself.

"The boss wouldn't go that far, would he? Does he like playing with multiple people?"

She cursed herself inwardly, thinking she shouldn't have followed him upstairs. Now she was in a dilemma.

At this moment, Han Ziming walked over with a smile and said in a relaxed tone.

"Ruonan, this is Bailu. This silly girl came all the way to Yanjing by herself. Let her sleep here tonight, I'll sleep downstairs."

"Oh, I thought we'd be sleeping in the same room?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu subconsciously asked.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized that she had been overthinking things. She waved her hand hastily and said...

"No, no, boss, I'll just find a hotel outside."

But who knew that the next second, Zhang Ruonan, who was just in the living room, stood up, quickly walked to her side, and before Bai Lu could react, pulled her to sit on the sofa and said with a smile.

"I heard the name Bailu when I first joined the company. Now that you're here tonight, you're not leaving."

"???"

Bai Lu was filled with questions when she heard this.

What does that mean?

What a den of wolves!

Zhang Ruonan realized she had misspoke, scratched her head awkwardly, and blushed.

"Um, I meant I'll stay here tonight, you don't need to leave."

Bai Lu sat on the sofa somewhat awkwardly, her hands unconsciously tugging at the hem of her clothes. She secretly glanced at Han Ziming, hoping he could help her out of this predicament.

Unexpectedly, Han Ziming spoke up at this moment.

"I'll go downstairs now. I had a few drinks tonight and I'm a little sleepy."

After saying that, he went downstairs on his own, leaving the two of them some private space.

help me!

help me!

Bai Lu cried out in her heart, feeling so nervous and uncomfortable.

At this moment, Zhang Ruonan noticed that Bai Lu was a little nervous, so she smiled and said, "You can just call me Ruonan or Nannan. You're two years older than me, so I'll call you Sister Lu."

Bai Lu thought to herself, "I can't use reduplicated words anymore, that would be even more awkward."

She spoke softly, her voice barely audible, like a mosquito's hum.

"Ruonan, it's nice to meet you. I thought the boss would take me to a hotel to sleep."

She then realized what was happening, quickly waved her hand, and blushed with embarrassment.

"Uh, no, I meant I'm staying in a hotel by myself, you understand?"

puff!

Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but laugh.

"I understand. Even though Xiao Mo is the boss, it's normal for a girl like you to be scared. But he won't do anything bad, so don't worry."

"That's good."

Fortunately, after chatting for a while, she found that Zhang Ruonan was quite easy to get along with, and she relaxed a bit, although there was still a lot of bitterness on her face.

"I was really scared downstairs just now."

However, Bai Mengyan's true nature was soon revealed. She began to tell Zhang Ruonan about her recent emotional journey, gesturing as she spoke.

She vividly described her nervousness downstairs, her random thoughts along the way, and the awkwardness when she entered the door.

Zhang Ruonan rested her chin on her hands, watching Bai Lu's constant complaining with great interest, and grew to like her even more.

Because she rarely meets people like that, people whose personalities are compatible with hers, who are easygoing and seem quite interesting.

"Ruonan, the boss is really impressive today. He's not intimidated at all by those bosses of online video platforms."

Bai Lu spoke with great enthusiasm, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Zhang Ruonan had met him at the movie premiere before, so she wasn't surprised. She was more curious about Bai Lu's situation.

She tilted her head and asked curiously.

"That's normal, they already talked about it. By the way, Sister Lu, you're an artist with Mozi Films now, right? Why don't you come to Yanjing?"

Bai Lu shrugged and said with a helpless expression.

"Although Huanyu transferred my contract to Mozi Film and Television, I still have projects with Huanyu, so I'll stay with Huanyu for now and wait until I finish filming before making any decisions."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruonan had some doubts.

"Does he intend to keep a mistress hidden away?"

But then she felt something was off. If that were the case, she wouldn't have brought it home. She needed to find an opportunity to ask her about it.

"So when do you plan to come to Yanjing?"

"It depends on the boss's arrangements. I secretly came to see the boss this time because of Kiwi's invitation. He seemed angry, but luckily..."

Everything was fine afterward.

"angry?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Zhang Ruonan's eyes.

But Bai Lu changed the subject, her eyes shining, and said excitedly.

"Ruonan, congratulations on the huge success of 'The Beginning'! You're now the company's top female artist!"

Bai Lu understands social etiquette to some extent. Judging from the current situation, Zhang Ruonan is a decent person and has a close relationship with the boss, so she should try to get on his good side.

However, what she didn't know was that if she had come before the premiere, the situation might have been very different.

This was thanks to Xiao Hong's guidance, which made Zhang Ruonan realize the importance of being prepared for danger in times of peace and start thinking about how to build her own moat, and she prepared to find a girlfriend.

Zhang Ruonan looked at Bai Lu with great satisfaction, muttering to himself.

"She has a pure and innocent appearance, is older than her, is not as popular as her at the moment, is not scheming, and is easy to get along with."

"And he doesn't even mind a 'bad boy,' so isn't he a high-quality potential partner?"

She shook her head, came to her senses, and said a little embarrassedly.

"Oh, no, by the way, what did you guys talk about tonight?"
