Chapter 48 Are we here?
Yili's car was parked in the hotel's backyard, a VIP parking lot specially reserved by the hotel.
The hotel is frequented by celebrities, so to protect their privacy, the hotel has built several private parking spaces, similar to garages, in the backyard. These spaces can be used by customers who spend a certain amount.
Based on Yi Lifa's location, Xu Jingxing arrived at her car.
"Come in."
The electric doors of the MPV open automatically.
Spitting out the chewing gum, Xu Jingxing sat down next to Yi Li.
Yi Li looked Xu Jingxing up and down, her tone mocking:
"I never expected that you would even be able to cling to Fan Bingbing, such a powerful figure."
Yi Li leaned towards Xu Jingxing, resting her arm on the armrest of her seat and supporting her chin with her hand, her tone interrogative, "Did you already know Fan Bingbing would be coming? So, what are you trying to prove? Prove that you could get into this role without my help?"
"No, it's really not, Sister Yili," Xu Jingxing explained. "I really didn't know that the play Sister Bingbing introduced to me was the one you mentioned before. Otherwise, I would definitely have told you in advance."
"Really?" Iri's expression softened a bit.
"I just feel that for a small actor like me, each audition is another chance."
Xu Jingxing made himself sound pitiful.
"This really isn't your fault." Yi Li held Xu Jingxing's hand. "Huang Lei wanted to use Fan Bingbing to suppress my billing, but he's really overthinking it. I don't care about these things at all. If it weren't for Wang Zhongjun's sake, his role? Haha."
A cold laugh indirectly confirmed Yi Li's disdain for Huang Lei.
"So, what's my next move?" Xu Jingxing asked.
Xu Jingxing would not let Yi Li's few words disrupt his plans. He asked the question simply to reassure her and let her know that he was still dependent on her.
Sure enough, upon hearing Xu Jingxing say this, Yi Li's eyes softened.
"It's never a bad thing for you to get along well with Fan Bingbing. We're on different tracks and don't usually compete with each other."
"OK."
Seeing Xu Jingxing sitting there so upright, Yi Li couldn't help but giggle. "Look how nervous you are. Do you think I'm going to eat you up?"
You like it this way!
Xu Jingxing thought this to himself, but naturally wouldn't say it aloud. "Sister Yili, wasn't what we did before a bit inappropriate?"
Damn, what a green tea bitch's words and actions.
Xu Jingxing was almost disgusted by himself.
"It's okay, no one will know."
Yi Li bent down, lifted her right leg, straddled Xu Jingxing's body, and sat on him.
"I told you last time, we weren't thorough enough."
"Sister Yili, you don't mean to stay here...?"
"What's wrong here? No one's coming."
"But I didn't bring that!"
"What?"
"Condoms."
"It's alright." Iri
......
Afterwards, Yi Li went back first, and Xu Jingxing, who had been waiting outside for five minutes, also returned to his room.
This restaurant is a private club, with karaoke and mahjong machines all available inside.
When Xu Jingxing came in, Wen Wen was playing mahjong with Li Jie, Wang Jinsong, and Liu Dekai.
Screenwriter Han Wei has already left due to other matters.
Yi Li was chatting with Fan Bingbing and Huang Lei on the sofa in front of the tea bar when she saw Xu Jingxing come in. Fan Bingbing waved to Xu Jingxing, signaling him to come and sit down.
"You're not drunk, are you? You've been out for so long, have you gone to sober up?" Yili asked.
Yi Li even came up with a reason for Xu Jingxing beforehand.
Sure enough, older women are so considerate.
"Sorry, I drank too fast just now and I'm a little tipsy."
"When it comes to drinking, there's a saying: three things to drink quickly and three things not to drink quickly."
Huang Lei took a sip of tea and, feigning an inscrutable expression, spoke to Xu Jingxing.
Xu Jingxing only remembered that Huang Lei, who later became Zhongdeng'er, liked to act like a teacher. He never expected that Huang Lei, who was only in his early thirties, would already be like this.
"Please enlighten me, Professor Huang."
To please someone who loves to teach others, you naturally have to fawn over them.
"The three urgent needs are: to sober up quickly, to go to the toilet quickly, and to stop drinking quickly."
"What about the three things that aren't urgent?"
Xu Jingxing felt that he had reached the peak of his acting skills at this moment, and his thirst for knowledge was so great that he could win the Golden Rooster Award.
"Don't rush to answer that, Xiao Xu, do you know what I meant by 'the three urgent needs'?"
Yi Li and Fan Bingbing exchanged a glance and both showed a somewhat helpless smile.
"I can roughly understand." Xu Jingxing scratched his head. "Teacher Huang, what I'm really curious about is what the 'Three No Urgent Things' means."
If he were to start talking about it, it would go on and on, so Xu Jingxing just wanted to end the topic as soon as possible.
They haven't even settled their own roles yet, who has time to chat with you about this and that?
"Look at you, you ask me what it means to not be in a hurry, but you're in a rush again." Huang Lei opened his folding fan. "A gentle breeze travels far, still waters run deep, and things will be resolved if you take your time. Don't rush, don't rush."
After speaking, Huang Lei turned to look at Yi Li and Fan Bingbing.
His face clearly wore an expression that said, "Watch me radiate charm, and I'll seduce you all."
Yi Li was setting up the tea set when she heard this and looked up at Xu Jingxing, who happened to be looking at her with a helpless expression.
The two exchanged a smile, and Yi Li winked at Xu Jingxing.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
Now you know why I don't want to work with him.
"Xiao Xu, I'll tell you what 'three no-hurries' means next time we meet."
Ha ha.
It makes it seem like I need to know too much.
"Then I can really look forward to seeing you again next time," Xu Jingxing said obsequiously.
Yi Li and Fan Bingbing both cast disdainful glances at him.
"Brother Lei, the role of Lin Shaoqing?"
Fan Bingbing's words finally brought the topic back on track.
Xu Jingxing also cast a grateful glance at her.
"I've gone off on a tangent, I almost forgot about the important matter."
When the conversation turned to serious matters, Huang Lei sat up straight.
"When will you be available, Xiao Xu? I'll arrange an audition for you. Zhong Lei will be here tomorrow too."
"What's going on, Lao Huang!" Yi Li immediately became reluctant when she heard that she still had to audition. "You don't trust me at all? The person I recommended to you still has to audition?"
"Yes, Brother Lei, Jingxing is capable." Fan Bingbing also spoke up for Xu Jingxing.
Xu Jingxing felt a surge of joy; having an older sister to protect him was truly exhilarating.
Huang Lei didn't speak, but first raised his teacup and took a sip of tea.
Yi Li is the lead actress specifically requested by Kungfu Pictures, one of the investors in this drama, while Fan Bingbing is a rising star being heavily promoted by Huayi Pictures, another investor.
Wherever there are people, there is a social hierarchy and human relationships, and the entertainment industry is no exception.
Huang Lei naturally has a closer relationship with Huayi Brothers. He was happy to hear Fan Bingbing say that she wanted to recommend an actor to him, as it would be a good opportunity to put pressure on Yi Li, who represents Kungfu Pictures.
But now, Xu Jingxing's appearance has clearly disrupted all his plans.
