“Stop drinking.”
“Last night was last night.” Jiang Luoli gently pushed her hand away and took a big gulp. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s just a little beer. Isn’t it boring to eat hot pot and not drink at all?”
“Do you want some?”
Qiao Mianmian’s alcohol tolerance was terrible.
She could pour two glasses of beer.
Hence, she usually didn’t drink.
But today…
She thought for a while and nodded. “Alright, I’ll drink with you.”
“Are you sure?” Jiang Luoli raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you afraid of getting drunk?”
“I’m with you, what’s there to be afraid of.” Qiao Mianmian smiled and took out an empty glass. “Pour me a glass. I’ll drink with you. One glass… I’m fine with it.”
“Alright.”
Jiang Luoli poured her more than half a glass of beer and clinked glasses with her. “It doesn’t matter if you’re drunk. I’ll call Prince Charming and get him to pick you up. You can have a good time together.”
Qiao Mianmian was speechless.
She glared at Jiang Luoli. “You’re so cheeky.”
The two chatted as they ate.
Qiao Mianmian talked about her life in City F, and Jiang Luoli talked about her job search.
Although Jiang Luoli majored in acting, she didn’t intend to enter the industry in the future.
Her dream was the same as Bai Yusheng. She wanted to be a famous director in the future, to film the shows she liked and groom the people she wanted.
She and Qiao Mianmian had agreed that Qiao Mianmian would be the female lead when she became a famous director.
The two of them didn’t mention that man again.
When Qiao Mianmian mentioned that Bai Yusheng had given her the female lead role, Jiang Luoli was shocked and happy. “Really? In that case, Baby, you’re the female lead now?”
“Mm.”
Qiao Mianmian was still very happy about this. She couldn’t help but take a sip of her beer. “Anyway, I’m still under a lot of pressure. But I’ll do my best on this show. I can’t let Brother Bai and Sister Xie down.
“Especially Brother Bai. It’s rather risky for him to use me as the female lead. No matter what, I can’t ruin his reputation.”
“Eh?”
Jiang Luoli rolled her eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Mianmian blinked.
“You and Brother Bai seem to have a pretty good relationship.” Jiang Luoli smiled. “You’re already calling him that. How is it, am I right? Brother Bai is a pretty nice person and easy to get along with.
“Moreover, he picked you as the female lead because he thinks you’re suitable. So, you have to have more confidence in yourself. Brother Bai is very good at judging people. If he thinks you’re suitable, you’re definitely suitable.
“In the past, many inexperienced newbies got important roles and became popular because of him. Anyway, Baby, I think you’re going to be popular very soon. Sigh, I really didn’t expect you to finish what we agreed on so quickly.
“Anyway, you have to remember our agreement. No matter how popular you are in the future, you still owe me the female lead role. You can’t ignore me just because you’re a big star in the future.”
“Of course not.”
Qiao Mianmian patted her chest. “We’re best friends for life. If you need anything in the future, you can do as many shows as you want, much less one.”
