Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

As Ju Xingmao returned to his desk as if nothing had happened, Lin Yu quickly adjusted his mindset as well.

After all, they didn't actually kiss.

About three to five minutes later, Guo and Ju finally raised their heads again.

After calming down, Guo Jingyu smiled kindly: "Xiao Lin, I saw on your file that you're not signed with any agency, right?"

Lin Yu's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly understood the other party's intention.

"That's right, Director Guo. Although some companies have offered to sign contracts, most of them are scammers." Lin Yu remained reserved and did not try to expose the other party's intentions just because he saw through them.

Guo Jingyu's smile widened: "Xiao Lin, I won't hide it from you anymore. The reason we're looking for some young new actors is because we're initially planning to make a sequel to this show."

"If we were to use established actors, there would definitely be various concerns..."

Guo Jingyu didn't finish her sentence, but Lin Yu's mind was racing.

When you first enter the industry, signing with a company is naturally the best option. It's true that in his previous life, he worked as a lone wolf for over a decade without making any progress.

Although Yuanmei Jianxin has great potential in the later stages, the company's short-term connections in the industry are simply too weak.

Moreover, the current situation within the team is one of too many monks and too little meat. If he joins the company, he probably won't get any of the company's resources except for the "Soul Ferry" trilogy.

In addition, the "Tang Ghost" series is all set after 2020, and the development cycle is too long, which does not meet his expectations.

From all perspectives, joining Yuanmei Jianxin doesn't seem like a good decision.

However, these shortcomings were not considered shortcomings by Lin Yu, who had acquired the memories of the following ten years.

All he needed now was a reliable company to help him get into the industry, and Yuanmei Jianxin, a company that had been thriving in the industry for over a decade, just happened to enter his life by recruiting actors.

The other party was interested in signing him, but in fact, he had already guessed this before he applied for the role of Xia Dongqing!

After all, Guo Jingyu later spread the story that Liu Zhiyang's company was bought by him!

With that thought in mind, Lin Yu looked at Guo Jingyu and Ju Xingmao's expectant eyes and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kind offer, Director Guo. I came to this audition specifically for the Guo family team and for your reputation."

About thirty minutes later, Lin Yu also walked out of the office with a smile on his face.

Instead, Guo Jingyu and Ju Xingmao walked behind Lin Yu, beaming with joy as they saw him off.

The seven-year economic agreement is divided into 3-7 parts, with a signing fee of 500,000 per year, paid separately each year.

These conditions may seem ordinary at first glance, but the most important one, in Lin Yu's view, is that he has the autonomy to keep in his own hands.

Lin Yu also signed the film and television contracts for "The Ferryman" and its sequel.

This means that he has officially secured the role of Xia Dongqing!

···

"You've signed a contract?" Li Xue asked in surprise, a bottle of wine suddenly appearing in his hand.

Lin Yu nodded, not really hiding anything from her.

Li Xue swayed leisurely as the two chatted, and they each opened a few more bottles of wine.

Lin Yu was also a bit tipsy, but he was still quite a distance from being drunk.

"Alright, it's so late. It's time to tidy up the table, wash up, and go to bed..."

"Bang!" Before Lin Yu could finish speaking, Li Xue's head slammed into the solid wood table with a dull thud.

He turned his head and looked around; for a moment, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

However, Li Xue was clearly very drunk. After hitting his head on the table, he didn't wake up again. Instead, he fell asleep with his head propped up on the table.

Looking at the other person's expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but facepalm.

However, he could understand her. After all, his roommate, who lived under the same roof, hadn't been able to film anything just a few days ago, but today, as soon as she came back, she was playing the male lead.

In this situation, whether you call it jealousy or happiness for him, you just want to drink more to celebrate.

That's right, she doesn't seem to have any awareness of her own alcohol tolerance.

"Sigh." Lin Yu sighed, but he couldn't just leave her here like that.

After taking a sip of water, he stood up, placed one hand on Li Xue's back, and slipped his other hand under her legs.

With a simple effort, he lifted her up in one go.

"Hmm~" The girl let out an unconscious hum, but her body, which was being held in front of Lin Yu, shifted and slid down.

As her two plump buttocks slid into Lin Yu's palm, he finally opened the door to the girl's room and placed her on her own bed.

"Phew." Lin Yu let out a breath, but unconsciously began to look around Li Xue's room.

This is the master bedroom, the kind with an ensuite bathroom.

Aside from the underwear hanging on the hooks on the bathroom door, the room was quite tidy.

At the foot of the bed, on the floor, was a rather plain-looking suitcase filled with various kinds of jeans.

Lin Yu vaguely noticed that the wall behind the suitcase looked a bit strange, and seemed somewhat...bald.

"Mmm~" Another sweet, innocent sound successfully drew Lin Yu's attention.

Li Xue was lying on the bed in an odd, slanted position.

For some reason, she had moved all of her short-sleeved shirts above her body.

Beneath the short-sleeved shirt was the simple white vest that Lin Yu had seen when he first came home.

The tank top was now damp with sweat from eating, making it somewhat transparent.

Such a sensual scene appeared before Lin Yu's eyes, and Little Lin immediately became excited.

only···

"When a victim is under the influence of alcohol and unable to refuse sexual intercourse, engaging in sexual relations with her is also considered rape."

Lin Yu's mind quickly conjured up legal provisions and scenes of tears behind bars in the news.

Although he's not exactly a gentleman, he wouldn't take advantage of someone's vulnerability to act like a scoundrel and then blame everything on alcohol.

It's not like he's never eaten meat before, or that he can't afford to eat meat. He doesn't want to waste his wonderful second life, which has just begun, because of some things!

Forcibly suppressing his boiling blood, Lin Yu silently walked out of Li Xue's room.

He didn't close the door, mainly because he was afraid Li Xue would vomit in the room and he wouldn't be able to hear it.

"Phew." Lin Yu took a deep breath in front of the dining table, his heart gradually calming down.

After taking a sip of water, Lin Yu quickly began to clean up the mess.

As the kitchen faucet was turned on, Li Xue quietly opened her slightly dazed almond-shaped eyes, let out a breath, and relaxed her tense body.

She woke up when Lin Yu picked her up, but when she woke up and found herself on top of Lin Yu, she was a little confused, so she kept her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.

Recalling the heavy, alcohol-scented breathing and the burning heat of his body, Li Xue's face quietly flushed...
