When Jiang Xun answered Huo Yuan Ze's call, she couldn't help holding her breath, waiting to see what his first sentence would be.
"Where are you?" Huo Yuan Ze's voice passed into her ears through the phone. His low-magnetic voice was filled with some incomprehensible emotions, which seemed like irritability and nervousness.
"In the car, your assistant is sending me to the recording studio. What's wrong?... … You missed me?" Jiang Xun pretended not to know anything, her tone both intimate and relaxed.
"En." Huo Yuan Ze actually didn't even deny it, showing that he was truly stimulated.
Jiang Xun smirked secretly. She happily replied, "Then will you accompany me for lunch in the afternoon?"
"En, what do you want to eat?" Huo Yuan Ze didn't seem to want to mention Luo Chi. Then, he probably only made this call on an impulse after seeing that Weibo.
"I don't know, you decide. I'm going to eat breakfast, your assistant bought me a lot of delicious food. You have to raise his salary." Jiang Xun said with a smile, her eyes narrowed into crescents.
"En, go ahead."
"Kiss me, then I'll hang up." Jiang Xun said in a coquettish tone.
"How do you kiss on the phone?" Huo Yuan Ze asked seriously, as if he really didn't know.
Jiang Xun giggly let out a mwah voice, "Just like this, you can also kiss kiss."
Hearing her coyish voice, Huo Yuan Ze didn't feel sappy. Instead, the corners of his mouth rose up with a doting smile. Fortunately, he was alone in the office. If someone saw him, he might think that his face was cramping.
"En."
"Don't just en, kiss me already. I'm waiting ne, I'm so hungry." Jiang Xun laughed out loud.
"I'm hungry too."
"Did you not eat breakfast?" Watching him stall, Jiang Xun simply placed his phone on his lap and picked up the thermos container to take another sip of the congee.
"I did, but I'm still hungry."
Jiang Xun was a little helpless. After thinking about it, she said. "Maybe it's because your body's growing."
As soon as she finished speaking, the assistant in front of her laughed.
Jiang Xun looked up at him and ignored him.
The following words Huo Yuan Ze were going to say were swallowed back. His expression was a little squirmed. He didn't know why he wanted to say this kind of thing to her, but fortunately he didn't. It simply would be too imprudent of him.
He quickly let out a short kissing sound and then said a little awkwardly, "Finish eating, I'll pick you up later."
The moment Jiang Xun agreed, the call was hung up. It seemed a little bit like he was running away.
Jiang Xun threw the phone aside. She saw the assistant's strange expression in the rear-view mirror. It was obvious he was shocked by Huo Yuan Ze's voice just now.
...
When participating in the variety show that afternoon, Jiang Xun was asked about Luo Chi on the show in person. Fortunately, the manager had already prepared her. Before going on the show, he listed the answers to all of the possible questions and asked Jiang Xun to memorize them.
He originally thought Jiang Xun wouldn't be able to remember it, so the manager had her focus on the critical ones. Who knew Jiang Xun would just say she remembered it after one skim? The manager didn't believe it and quizzed her on a few. He didn't expect she would recite it word-by-word.
The manager's eyes widened. He read Jiang Xun's information that she had never been to school. Initially, he didn't hold any hope for her IQ. Who thought she would have such a good memory?
The manager's mind quickly became active. In this way, wouldn't she also have a great advantage in memorizing lines and such?
However, although Jiang Xun reacted well on the show and easily diverted the problem, there were still discussions on the Internet about what's the story happened between Luo Chi and Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun had just released a few songs, so she couldn't be considered a celebrity yet. She was at most an Internet singer, who was tied together with the film king in a CP, and it was even the film king that proactively confessed.
No wonder netizens were excited about such a huge event. Although the entertainment circle bursts out new stories every day, this news simply satisfied everyone's gossip craving too well.
As the stories on the Internet became more and more intense, Huo Yuan Ze went ballistic in his office. He called the general manager of Ju Xing Sheng Shi and had him directly contact Luo Chi's brokerage company with the intention to censor Luo Chi.
In just two days, several of Luo Chi's notices were canceled. The role of a male lead that had been previously negotiated was also snatched away by a veteran actor under the banner of Ju Xing Sheng Shi. It was said Ju Xing Sheng Shi was willingly to accept a lower salary and even invest tens of millions, so the producer directly changed the male lead actor. Hearing Luo Chi had offended Huo Yuan Ze and self-exposed himself for being in love with a small internet star, the producer didn't even discuss it with Luo Chi. Only after the contract was signed with Ju Xing Sheng Shi before he notified Luo Chi's manager.
Since Jiang Xun was busy with her own affairs and no one told her about it, she didn't know the situation at all. Luo Chi's manager and Jiang Xun's manager have known each other before. This time, Huo Yuan Ze wanting to fix Luo Chi up, Jiang Xun's manager couldn't help much. However, he could still pass on a few words. After Jiang Xun learned about this from his manager, she was quite surprised.
Luo Chi's manager went to find Jiang Xun without telling him, only because he heard Huo Yuan Ze had angered Luo Chi for Jiang Xun and wanted to ask Jiang Xun for help.
Seeing Jiang Xun, the manager was surprised for a few seconds and then had no response. He couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he didn't know what to say for a while. Originally, thinking of her young age, he thought she could be seen through at a glance. Who knows it's been this long and it seems he hasn't been able to see through her.
The manager finally broke the silence, "If it's inconvenient, just treat it as if you didn't hear it. I'll go and tell him."
Jiang Xun responded, "It's not. Tell him I understand, I'll go speak with Huo Yuan Ze."
At the beginning, the manager didn't think she would agree. He was only trying to help by asking her. Who knows that she not only agreed, but also agreed so readily.
Seeing the surprised eyes of the manager, Jiang Xun said. "What's the matter?"
The manager replied, "It's nothing. Tomorrow, there will be an audition for the cast. I'll send the information of the Third Female Supporting Character to your mailbox. If you're interested, you can take a look and reply to me in the evening."
Jiang Xun blinked. She nodded happily, "Okay."
She had mentioned to her manager that she wanted to be in a movie, but she didn't expect it would be arranged for her this soon.
