The screenwriter’s acknowledgment gave Qin Yun some encouragement, and she sincerely thanked him, "Thank you."
Although Director Chen wasn’t as excited as the screenwriter, he was quite satisfied with Qin Yun. However, being always steady, he didn’t make a decision right away.
After all, he had been preparing for this drama for a long time, and now many emerging directors kept popping up. He planned to rely on this drama to make a breakthrough, so he cautiously didn’t settle on Qin Yun immediately.
He sized up Qin Yun and asked with a friendly smile, "Being able to understand the character to this extent must have taken some effort, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun, still slightly breathless, replied, "Yes, I really like this role and don’t want to waste this opportunity."
"Not bad. You go back first, and the results will be notified to you in a few days." Director Chen said amiably.
Qin Yun nodded without feeling disappointed.
She didn’t know that after she left, the screenwriter actually had a debate with the director regarding her performance.
Qin Yun went straight down to the underground garage, found Pei Yan’s Maybach, and opened the car door, putting on her jacket while saying, "It’s still early, let’s drop by my rental house first."
Pei Yan noticed Qin Yun’s eyes were slightly red and she spoke with a hint of nasal sound. He paused, then pursed his lips and said, "It’s just a drama; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Qin Yun had already put on her jacket and was pulling her wavy hair out from inside her clothes. Hearing Pei Yan’s words, she looked up in confusion, "Huh? What?"
Pei Yan looked at Qin Yun, who showed no sign of sadness or disappointment, "Nothing."
He then drove to the rental place Qin Yun mentioned.
Due to the crying scene earlier, Qin Yun wasn’t feeling well emotionally, and she rubbed her eyes uncomfortably several times.
Seeing this, Pei Yan found a pharmacy and bought her some eye drops. After getting back into the car, he tossed the eye drops to Qin Yun, "A few drops will help relieve it."
Qin Yun didn’t expect Pei Yan to get down to buy eye drops for her. She instinctively caught them, looked down briefly, and then said in surprise, "Thank you."
Qin Yun applied the eye drops and blinked a few times, feeling somewhat relieved.
"Anything specific you’d like to eat tonight?" Pei Yan suddenly asked.
"Huh? There are quite a few delicious things, suddenly I really miss that place we went to late at night the other day." Qin Yun pondered over his words and immediately envisioned various tasty foods, licking her lips in nostalgia.
Pei Yan chuckled, "That place is currently merging into Pei Group’s new restaurant series, planning to open new branches."
"Really?" Qin Yun’s mood instantly perked up, no longer gloomy, her peach blossom eyes sparkling brightly.
"Yeah, it shouldn’t be long before we get to eat there again." Pei Yan observed Qin Yun’s visible change in mood and responded.
"Then this place should also count as mine, right? Because now it’s our mutual property as a couple. You invested in it, so surely I have a share too." Qin Yun licked her lips, "I think we should scout out more places, expand them, restaurants need to progress."
"Alright." Pei Yan didn’t reveal the truth.
With her mood lifted, Qin Yun quickly said with a smile, "I feel there’s still a good chance. The screenwriter said I’m exactly her version of Li Beauty."
"This director is famously strict in the industry. Even if capital tries to push someone in, he won’t accept them unless they meet his standards. Still, he’s not averse to employing newcomers, making this rather rare." Pei Yan recalled simply.
Qin Yun thought about it and nodded in agreement. The screenwriter had liked her performance earlier on, and Director Chen seemed quite satisfied with her too. Yet, due to his rigorous approach, he didn’t finalize her because of the screenwriter’s attitude.
The hotel was not far from Qin Yun’s rental place, and they arrived shortly thereafter.
Yesterday, Qin Yun had asked Yuanyuan to pick up the package today.
Knowing Qin Yun was coming, Yuanyuan had arrived early.
Upon entering, Qin Yun saw a package almost as tall as a meter and several dozen centimeters high placed there, alongside another large and small one.
It must be the food Yang Leqi sent her.
"Sister Yun." Hearing the voice, Yuanyuan emerged from the bathroom and saw Pei Yan standing to the side.
"Pei, Mr. Pei." Yuanyuan instantly froze, stammering as she greeted.
Pei Yan nodded slightly, acknowledging her.
"He’s not Mr. Pei." Qin Yun saw Yuanyuan’s intense nervousness and teased.
"Sister Yun!!" Yuanyuan quickly ran to Qin Yun’s side, lowered her voice, and asked, "Weren’t you going for the audition? How come you’re here with Mr. Pei?"
"The audition went okay, and we’ll wait for the crew to notify the exact result. Also, you’ll likely see him often in the future; just treat him like an ordinary person." Qin Yun smiled openly.
