Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Is Mr. Li Hosting A Dinner Tonight?
JS was incredibly efficient; Rong Yan had barely signed the contract when JS seemed to be in an even greater hurry, getting all the work up and running.
Almost as soon as Rong Yan arrived at the location, she was handed off to the makeup artists to get her makeup and styling done. The director, who was specifically in charge of shooting this advertisement, also found Estelle right away to discuss the content of the script.
Throughout the entire afternoon, Rong Yan was as busy as a spinning top, shooting the ad.
It wasn’t until seven in the evening that JS, seeing the sky darken and no longer suitable for filming, agreed on an early time to continue shooting the next morning and decided to wrap up.
Rong Yan changed back into her own clothes, hungry as anything after a day’s work.
She went to look for her agent, who was still dealing with other minor details on set, tapped Estelle on the shoulder and said with a beaming smile, “Estelle, let’s have dinner together tonight. I’ve invited everyone else, too. After being busy all day and hardly eating at lunch, let’s have a big meal this evening!”
Estelle jotted down some key details and the approximate workflow for the next day in her little notebook, put away her pen, and unusually did not refuse, “Sure, where shall we eat?”
Rong Yan cited a place.
Estelle’s eyebrows furrowed immediately; she looked at Rong Yan as if she were a spendthrift and said disapprovingly, “There’s no need for our team to go to such an expensive place for a meal. You haven’t made much money yet. It would be fine to treat us when you’ve made it into the first-tier. I know a Haidilao Hot Pot that’s quite good; let’s go there for dinner.”
A team of six or seven people dining at the Lan Club would certainly cost a five-figure sum, and if they bought a bottle of wine, it would rise to six figures.
She was well aware that Rong Yan was just starting in her career. Although it seemed like stars made a lot of money, stars like Rong Yan, at the beginning of their career, didn’t make much.
She didn’t want Rong Yan to be wasteful.
Haidilao Hot Pot was also good, and for six people, it would at most cost a thousand or two thousand. The standard was high enough.
Knowing that Estelle was worried about her finances, Rong Yan felt a warm current inside her heart. She was briefly embarrassed but told the truth, “Tonight, it’s not me who’s treating; it’s my boyfriend who’s paying. He’s already booked the place, so not going would be a waste.”
What boyfriend… Estelle felt dizzy before she could react slowly, revealing an extremely surprised expression, “Are you saying that Mr. Li is treating us tonight?”
Who was inviting them to dinner?
Even with her extensive knowledge and typically calm and collected nature, she couldn’t hide her shock.
It was a joke; who Li Shengxiao was.
An existence that she couldn’t reach even if she jumped.
The idea that such a high-status person would one day take the initiative to invite them to dinner was incredibly fantastic!
She knew the relationship between Rong Yan and him was ambiguous, but these kinds of ambiguous relationships were a dime a dozen in the entertainment industry, and she didn’t take it to heart.
She had always advised Rong Yan not to let love cloud her judgment, not to get too involved…
Now she herself was somewhat unclear about the nature of their relationship – the act of a man inviting a woman’s colleagues to dinner seemed rather like dating… No, it resembled more of a post-marital status!
But could Mr. Li and Rong Yan… really make it to that stage?
Estelle collected herself and couldn’t help asking, “Will Mr. Li come tonight as well?”
Rong Yan was uncertain, “I don’t know, he might not come over if he’s busy.”
