C173 Dining table

When Lin Xi heard the voice of the woman on the other side of the phone, her first reaction was that she definitely knew her, but she couldn't immediately remember who she was.

But before she had time to think about it, Ke Qin had already said through the phone: "I'm sorry, I have some private matters to take care of right now, if you have nothing else, I will hang up first, I will pass the money over to you tomorrow morning …"

Ke Qin then said something else, but was interrupted by the familiar female voice: "You're long-winded!" Then, someone suddenly hung up the phone.

Judging from the tone of the female voice, she was probably jealous.

Lin Xi shrugged her shoulders as she reached for her phone, but before she could say her "thank you", she sent a message to Ke Qin expressing her thanks.

She didn't reject Ke Qin's good will to lend her money, because she really needed it. Right now, it wasn't the right time for her to show off her self-respect.

The more he looked at it, the more depressed he became. At the same time, he was more moved, he wanted to contact the investor that Ke Qin mentioned.

Tens of millions of dollars in cash flow wasn't easy to borrow. She really didn't have any better ideas.

Just as she was thinking, Lin Xi's phone rang twice more, and Ke Qin replied to her text message.

The message was simple, it said the method to contact the investor that Ke Qin mentioned.

The investor was surnamed Luo and was called Luo Sheng. Lin Xi had heard of his name before. She remembered that he seemed to be in the investment banking business and that he was rich.

Lin Xi looked at the phone number on the text message in a daze, not knowing whether she should call it or not.

But just as she was hesitating, her cell phone suddenly rang. A call came in.

It was a string of unfamiliar numbers.

Lin Xi thought that it was some kind of annoying phone call, and since she wasn't in the mood to deal with it, she casually hung up.

However, just as she hung up, the other party quickly sent her a message. On the text, the other party claimed to be Luo Sheng's assistant and wanted to talk to her about the reward and the script.

Lin Xi immediately frowned.

She hesitated for a moment before dialing back.

As soon as the call connected, a sweet voice came out from the other end of the line. She introduced herself: "Hello, Miss Lin, I'm Director Luo's assistant, Yucca.

Lin Xi replied succinctly: "It's convenient, tell me."

Yucca said politely again: "I had originally thought that it was already too late and would disturb your rest. I didn't expect that you still hadn't slept yet, this is really great news …"

"Let's get straight to business." Lin Xi tapped her forehead with her hand and interrupted her, "It's getting late, and Director Luo told you to call me. You must already know that I'm short on money."

Lin Xi liked to speak frankly if there was something to say, and was not used to being polite in this kind of shopping mall.

Yucca was interrupted, she did not feel offended nor angry, and laughed: "Miss Lin is indeed straightforward, I will be direct then, Director Luo is your fan and has always liked your movie, so I heard that you are in urgent need of money, let me ask if you need help. He also said that he hoped that you would not be courteous to him. As long as you open your mouth, money is not a problem. "

"Money isn't a problem …" Lin Xi subconsciously repeated, "Then to Director Luo, what is the real problem?"

Yucca laughed on the other end of the phone: "Of course, Director Luo also has a small favor that he wants to ask you to help out with. He has a good script on hand right now, but has been struggling to find a suitable female lead for a long time.

The conditions that Yucca mentioned were exactly the same as the one that he mentioned on the phone just now.

Lin Xi's heart was still tangled, and she didn't reply for a while.

Yucca seemed to have guessed Lin Xi's hesitation, and she quickly said: "You should also not give me an answer immediately, why don't we meet tomorrow, I'll let you see the script first, then we can talk. Perhaps you will have some conclusions after reading the script. "

The reason why Lin Xi did not immediately agree to it was not because of the script, but because Luo Sheng wanted her to act out this movie.

Lin Xi had immersed herself in the entertainment circle for a long time already, and she had seen quite a lot of secret operations and unspoken rules.

Everyone took what they needed. This sort of thing was very common in the circles.

She had even met many people who wanted to play along with her – in other words, although she had been cheated a lot of money by her agent, when her agent found out that she didn't have any intentions in playing along the same principle, he helped her get rid of all her malicious intentions.

Thus, when Luo Sheng actively threw out the olive branch to her, she couldn't help but suspect the other party's true purpose.

Was he interested in his identity as a newly promoted Shadow Queen, or was he concerned about her?

If it was before, Lin Xi would definitely reject this kind of invitation that might have the possibility of being ambiguous, but now — Lin Xi once again thought of the two hundred million promissory note that Qin Yu had given him …

In the end, Lin Xi thought for a while and said: "Then, we'll meet tomorrow to take a look at the script."

Actually, Yucca's suggestion was not bad.

Reading the script when they meet tomorrow was secondary, so he could test Yucca's attitude, since Yucca represented Luo Sheng after all.

And she didn't want to easily give up on this olive branch.

Lin Xi made up her mind, she had an appointment with Yucca to meet up at 7 o'clock tomorrow night, and the two of them ended the call.

Lin Xi heaved a long sigh of relief, and fell on the sofa tiredly.

Today's experience could be said to be one of ups and downs, and he had to put in a lot of effort. Even now, her mind was still in turmoil.

Lin Xi decided to turn off her phone and had a good night's sleep to recuperate. She would deal with Yucca tomorrow.

However, just as she was about to pick up her phone, Qin Yu's message suddenly popped into her eyes before she could shut down her phone, "According to the contract, I'm ordering you to pay your debt within a week, if not, you know what I will do."

Within a week?

She was just a little actress, where could she gather 200 million yuan in a week?!

Or else? Or what? Wasn't it just sending her to prison!

A man is good to you when he is good, good enough to die for you. However, when she started to be heartless, she was really cold-blooded and wanted to send you to jail.

Lin Xi was so angry that she lost all sleep.

However, she still turned the switch off straightforwardly and ignored Qin Yu's text message.

Lin Xi buried herself into the blanket on the sofa and forced herself to close her eyes and fall asleep.

Lin Xi didn't know when she fell asleep either. She only knew that because of her anxiety, she had been having nightmares in her muddled state. When she woke up at noon, she was even more tired than not sleeping at all that night.

Lin Xi did not continue to sleep. She got up and ate a simple lunch, then started to daydream in the hotel until it was 6: 30. Only then did she go out and go to the place she had previously agreed with Yucca.

In this period of time, she did not turn on her computer at all because she did not want to see Qin Yu's short message. She didn't even bring her cell phone when she went out to meet him.

Yucca and Lin Xi had arranged to meet at a private club.

Lin Xi arrived at the reserved room on time, and when she pushed open the door to enter, she found that Luo Sheng was actually there as well.

Last night, when Lin Xi received Luo Sheng's contact information, she sent a photo of himself, so they could recognize each other.

He was in his early forties, a little fatter than in the photographs, but he was in good repair compared to most middle-aged men, and looked younger than his years.

Luo Sheng and Yucca should have already arrived, the two of them heard the door opening and saw Lin Xi walking in, they stood up from the table.

Luo Sheng even took the initiative to extend his hand out towards Lin Xi: "Lin Ying Ying, it is my pleasure to meet you!"

Although Lin Xi was surprised, she couldn't not give the other party face. She then extended her hand out and shook hands with the other party, "Boss Luo, it's a pleasure to meet you too."

When the two let go of each other, Lin Xi looked at Yucca again, and asked: "Assistant Yu, didn't you say before that you would come today?"

Yucca intentionally acted dumb: "Really? Did I forget to tell you last night? "I'm really sorry. The company has been busy the past two days, but I may have neglected it. Next time, I will take note of it."

Luo Sheng didn't comment on Yucca's answer, but said: "I'm Miss Linxi's fan, so I came here today to see you. Miss Linxi won't find it offensive, will he?"

"Of course." Out of politeness, Lin Xi could only laugh and let this matter pass.

But in her heart, she was already on her guard.

However, when she thought about Qin Yu's short message last night, she had no choice but to endure.

The three of them went back to their seats at the dining table. After Lin Xi sat down, they directly asked him: "Where's the script?"

Yucca patted the document on the side of her bag and said: "It's here."

But she did not intend to give the folder to Lin Xi, instead she said: "I can't finish the script for a while, now it's time to eat, why not eat dinner, then I will give you the rough outline of the script first, you can read it after you go back?"

Lin Xi thought about it, then nodded her head and agreed.

The main purpose of her appointment was not the script.

After all, no matter how flirtatious the script was, it couldn't have gone anywhere in the current situation.

Her original intention was to go and test Luo Sheng out. Now that Luo Sheng was here, they could chat for a bit more at the table. If the other party asked her to play for the mutual benefit of the script, she would accept the olive branch, but if she sensed that something was wrong, she would immediately find an excuse to leave.

Seeing Lin Xi nod her head, Yucca immediately pressed the electronic bell on the table. Not long later, a group of waiters came in and brought a beautiful set of dishes onto the table.

The waiter also brought two glasses of red wine.

Lin Xi was afraid that drinking wine would mislead her, so when Yucca poured some wine for her, she intentionally stopped her: "Sorry, I had a cold today.

After eating and drinking alcohol, it will produce acetaldehyde poisoning.

Therefore, this was the best reason for refusing to drink.

As expected, Yucca's hand that was pouring the wine paused, and looked at Luo Sheng awkwardly, as he asked him with his eyes, telling him what to do.

Luo Sheng unconcernedly took a sip of his own red wine and said: "Then go make Miss Linxi a pot of tea. It doesn't matter what you drink, it'll just help you enjoy yourself."

Yucca's eyes flashed twice before she answered and turned to leave the room.
