Chapter 212 – What good was a little fresh meat? Would they have been able to skip the line and get inside? (2)
Even without walking outside, she was still slammed with replying to her private messages on Weibo and WeChat.
They were all congratulatory words, and she couldn’t very well ignore them. As such, she’d click open her accounts everyday and copy-paste her thank you notes.
Yu Yi, too, had sent her a congratulatory message: Congratulations, Boss Lin. I hope both businesses and wealth will keep rolling in for you.
The message wasn’t verbose, but he sent with it a red packet for 8,880 yuan.
For an actor with his success, that was an immaterial amount. Every time they made a donation, the amount would be upward of 10,000 or even 100,000 yuan, but actors knew better than to compete with Lin Yiyi in terms of wealth.
It was all about a nice gesture.
The amount of this red packet was just right. It wasn’t so much that one would feel awkward or too little to show that they care. It was fairly impressive for a newbie.
In addition, he also knew better than referring to her as “Big Sister Lin”
So many others in the industry who wanted to get close to Lin Yiyi had referred to her as “Big Sister Lin” and that was very awkward and embarrassing!
Lin Yiyi appeared very young from her look and always felt frantic when she was referred to as “Big Sister Lin” by some middle-aged men with big beards. They didn’t even know for certain which one of them was the older, so how could they just refer to her as “big sister”!
On top of that, she always felt that her age remained around 23, alright!
Little fresh meat Yu Yi wasn’t half bad. He knew what he was doing; he did just the right amount and could easily make others be fond of him. Most importantly, he was very handsome.
Lin Yiyi typed frantically on her keyboard: Thank you. Thank you. Do come by when you have time. My treat.
When Lu Xun arrived, she was editing her text with her back to him.
When he peeked curiously, he saw the large text indicating that she was chatting with Yu Yi.
Everybody knew who Yu Yi was! He was the most up-and-coming actor right now. He has countless fans and was super popular.
Endorsements and advertisements with him in it were all over the television and the internet. Even with one’s eyes closed, one could tell it was him from his voice alone!
When Lin Yiyi finished sending the text, she turned and saw the not-so-happy-looking Boss Lu.
“I see you are sending out a message on WeChat,” said Boss Lu with a forced smile.
Lin Yiyi felt that he was being a little off. She shoved her phone back into her pocket and it buzzed again.
“The little fresh meat just texted you again. You should check and see what he wrote.”
Now he was sounding odder and odder.
Lin Yiyi, who was just about to fish out her phone, stopped herself and gave him a look.
His tone was somewhat familiar…
When had she heard it before?
She was just about to recall it when Boss Lu shared his opinion, “These little fresh meats are all uneducated, uncultured people who were not able to get into a good school and had no choice but to try their luck in the entertainment circle. You need to beware of them!”
Lin Yiyi, “……”
She gave him a sideway glance.
Yup, now she remembered…
He had said that just the other day!
“What are you doing here anyway?”
Boss Lu, who had been freely sharing his opinion, paused, then replied honestly, “I am here for lunch.”
The line at the door was so long that if he was to wait with Executive Assistant Zhou and the other employees, he probably wouldn’t be able to make lunch. He has better odds of getting dinner.
Luckily, he was able to get inside with his face alone. In fact, he was brought inside through the employee’s entrance by the restaurant manager who was sent here specifically.
Say, what good was a little fresh meat?
Would they have been able to skip the line and get inside?
