Gu Mingye put on his earpiece and drove the car slowly.
He didn’t speak at first and just said “Yes” after a while.
Li Beinian wanted to hear but couldn’t, and after a while, she heard Gu Mingye say, “You should decide on this yourself.”
“…”
“Okay.”
“…”
“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t want a kissing scene nor a nude scene.”
Li Beinian’s ears pricked up and she looked at Gu Mingye with wide eyes.
Bed scene and nude scene?
This… it couldn’t be!
Gu Mingye clearly saw Li Beinian’s expression through the rearview mirror.
He had a bad premonition, so he coughed and said, “That’s it for now. I’m a little busy now, I’ll call you later.”
And then he hung up.
Li Beinian leaned over curiously and asked, “Hey, Lieutenant Gu, don’t tell me you’re applying to be an actor?”
Gu Mingye was stunned and glanced subconsciously at Mu Xichen.
Then, he braced himself and said, “Yeah, life is tough. I had no other choice.”
Li Beinian nodded in realization and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so conservative to not take on bed scenes or nude scenes. It’s a pity not to show off your muscular body.”
“A real man shouldn’t rely on his looks,” Mu Xichen said, his voice calm and indifferent.
Gu Mingye agreed. “Chief is right, men must have their backbone.”
“But Lieutenant Gu, are you from Sheng An Entertainment too?” Li Beinian was a little doubtful. “And you’re also under Bo Chengcheng? How come I didn’t know?”
Gu Mingye glanced at her through the rearview mirror and then glanced at Mu Xichen. He thought for a moment and said, “Erm… I just retired and signed the contract.”
“Oh…” Li Beinian nodded and forcibly believed him.
Gu Mingye finally sighed in relief and immediately changed the topic. “Chief, did you say you wanted to buy a car? What kind?”
“I don’t know.” Mu Xichen leaned on the backseat and looked very casual and languid. He turned to Li Beinian and asked, “What do you think?”
“What do you want it for?” Li Beinian asked rhetorically.
“As a means of transportation,” Mu Xichen replied. Then, he thought of something and asked, “Mu Donglin’s black car is a sports car?”
“That’s a Bentley, and only tyrants drive them. It doesn’t look like much, but it’s a few million yuan.” Li Beinian held her phone and went on the search portal. “This sort of car is just for showing off. But for you, I advise you to buy something more functional and that has a higher safety performance. After all, you’re not as rich and imposing as Mu Donglin, so you should be more frugal.”
Gu Mingye glanced at Li Beinian and chuckled. “Ms. Li, don’t belittle our Chief. Over the years, his earning wasn’t any less than that wastrel Mu Donglin.”
Li Beinian sneered. “Forget it. How much can a soldier earn? Furthermore, Mu Donglin has been in the business industry for so many years and has probably earned a few billion. How could he earn less in comparison? You must be kidding me.”
“Hey!” Gu Mingye looked at Mu Xichen and laughed at his misfortune. “Boss, she’s belittling you.”
“I’m not. I just think it’s not necessary to buy something so expensive,” Li Beinian explained. “It won’t be too late to buy it next time.”
Gu Mingye chuckled. “Ms. Li, you think of our Chief…”
“Mingye.” Mu Xichen leaned on the backrest and said lazily in a magnetically low voice, “Listen to her.”
Gu Mingye was a little displeased, but he patted the sheering wheel and said, “Fine, you have the final say.”
