Huayu: The young actress is heavily dependent on me

On the stage.

Even after the performance ended, Chen Li and Chen Yao remained in that pose.

At this moment, his hand was still on Chen Yao's ankle, and Chen Yao could still feel the warmth of Chen Li's palm.

"Um, Chen Li, the performance is over."

Finally, Chen Yao slowly pulled herself out of the emotional turmoil she had just experienced.

She then noticed the warm, large hand pressed against her ankle. Her fair face flushed, and she whispered.

"Ahem, oh, sorry, I got too into character."

Chen Li was taken aback. He glanced one last time at Chen Yao's fair ankle, smiled apologetically, and quickly stood up. The next moment, he touched Chen Yao's soft hand and helped her up.

"Okay, Chen Li, this role is for you."

"But you're a newcomer after all. Our salary is only 100,000. Can you accept that?"

After a brief exchange between Lin Yufen and Cai Yinong, the latter stood up, looked at Chen Li and Chen Yao, who seemed to have a strange tacit understanding, and spoke.

"I can accept it!"

Upon hearing Cai Yinong's offer, Lu Yuan nodded without hesitation.

Ten thousand it is, Chen Li just wants to increase his popularity through this role.

Money is a small matter. As long as I become famous, why would I be afraid of not having money?

Damn! How come it was so easy? Did I overestimate it?

I should have said 5...

The stingy Cai Yinong inwardly grumbled, but said nothing aloud, and took out a standard contract:

"good!"

"Do you still need to hire a lawyer?"

"No need, Mr. Cai, I can take a look myself."

Chen Li shook his head, checked the contract, and after confirming that there were no problems, he readily signed his name.

Having spent many years in the music industry in his previous life, Chen Li is quite experienced when it comes to reviewing contracts.

Moreover, there's not much to worry about with a contract for a new supporting role.

On the other side, Chen Li's trusting attitude pleased Cai Yinong.

"Chen Li, this is Zhang Xianzong's complete contract. Take a good look at it when you get back. Someone will contact you after the crew starts filming."

"Okay, Mr. Cai, I'll be going now."

Chen Li nodded and exchanged a glance with Chen Yao.

Chen Yao blushed and lowered her head.

Chen Li smiled, and then glanced at Chen Yao's fair ankles.

Cough cough, Yao's feet really feel nice to the touch...

Chen Li said goodbye to Cai Yinong and Lin Yufen, then turned and walked towards the elevator.

With a "ding," the elevator stopped on a certain floor.

The door opened again, and a girl walked in carrying several stacked clothing bags.

Chen Li subconsciously moved aside.

The girl stepped into the elevator and tried to press down on the top bag with her chin, but the bag just swayed even more violently.

She frantically tried to regain her balance, but stumbled, and the top paper bag slid off the ground.

"careful."

Chen Li reached out and steadily caught the bag that was about to fall.

"Thanks……"

The girl peeked out from behind the bag.

Chen Li was taken aback.

Naza?

She wasn't wearing a mask today, but Chen Li was all too familiar with her classic exotic beauty features.

However, she looked somewhat embarrassed at that moment.

The stiletto heel of the high heel was stuck in the gap between the elevator door and the floor, and couldn't be pulled out.

"My heel is stuck." Chen Li looked down at it.

"Ah..." Naza looked down and sure enough, her right heel was stuck in the metal gap.

She tried to move her ankle, but her heel didn't move at all. Instead, she swayed a little because she lost her balance.

"I'll help you."

Chen Li squatted down.

Nazha was stunned.

This man is really handsome...

Not only is he clean and neat, but he also has a dashing and heroic air about him.

Most importantly, his eyes are so captivating, they have such a deep and affectionate quality...

"Th...thank you."

Chen Li held her ankle firmly with one hand and pressed down on the stuck heel with the other.

I first tried gently wiggling it left and right, but found it was too tight, so I applied a little more force.

With a "click," the heel was pulled out, but the tip of the thin metal heel broke off, and the broken end was still stuck in the elevator door gap.

"The heel broke." Chen Li stood up and handed her the broken high heel.

"Sorry, I used a bit too much force."

"No, no, no, I should be thanking you!" Nazha quickly took the shoes, standing on one leg, looking a little disheveled.

"If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done..."

Her toes peeked out from her flesh-colored stockings with a faint pearlescent sheen, and her nail polish was cherry red; her toes were slender and fair.

"Can you walk?" Chen Li naturally took her arm.

"Yes, yes." Naza put on the good shoe, but she limped and was clearly not very steady.

"Which floor are you going to? I'll press the button for you," Chen Li asked.

"First floor..." Nazha whispered, then, as if remembering something, quickly shook her head.

"No, I need to go to the underground parking garage first. My car is parked on B2. But I'm like this..."

"Let me take it down for you." Chen Li reached out and took the half-stack of bags from her arms, his movements swift and efficient.

"I'm going to the first floor anyway, so I'll just go that way."

The elevator began to descend. The small space suddenly fell silent.

Naza turned her head and secretly sized up the man who was helping her carry the bags.

He was wearing a dark shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing his well-defined muscles.

He wasn't the muscular type, but just the right size; he stood tall and had a clean and refreshing demeanor.

"Are you... also an artist?" she asked tentatively.

"Well, I guess so." Chen Li turned to look at her. "I'm here for an audition today."

"Audition? Audition for what?"

"Wu Xin: The Monster Killer, Zhang Xianzong".

"Zhang Xianzong—" Nazha's eyes widened.

"That character who's paired with Yue Qiluo? I heard K-sister mention her; she said that character is really tragic. Did you get her?"

"I just signed the contract," Chen Li said with a smile.

The elevator stopped briefly on the 15th floor, but no one boarded, so it continued down.

Naza glanced down at the broken high heel in her hand, then looked up at Chen Li, her heart beating inexplicably fast.

"Um... thank you. By the way, my name is Gulnazar. What's your name?"

"Chen Li".

The elevator stopped on the first floor with a "ding".

Chen Li carried the stack of bags out, placed them on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, then walked back and took her phone out of her pocket:

"Let's add each other on WeChat. If you can't find the same shoes later, I can ask my assistant to help you."

Naza paused for a moment, then nodded quickly.

"It's added." She put away her phone, looked up at him, and smiled, her eyes curving into two crescent moons.

"I'll treat you to dinner another day as a thank you. How many more days are you staying in Shanghai?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow to go back to school." Chen Li put her phone back in her pocket. "I'll owe you the meal for now, there's plenty of time."

"Okay, then I'll owe you." Nazha slung her bag over one shoulder and waved at him.

"Chen Li—I've got it."

"Then I'll be leaving first."

"Okay, goodbye!"

Naza watched Chen Li's retreating figure, lost in thought.

"Chen Li," she murmured the name, then repeated it again, "Chen Li."

The name sounds beautiful!

I wonder if he'll join Tangren Media in the future; it's rare to see such a handsome guy...
