Huayu: Brother, I'm having such a great time!

Chapter 56 Fan Bingbing's Invitation

Hengdian, an unknown film crew.

Tang Yan, who had just finished filming, was sitting in a chair applying sunscreen when Zhao Liying approached her with two bottles of water.

"Sister Tang, have some water." Zhao Liying handed a bottle of water to Tang Yan.

"Thanks."

Tang Yan put away the sunscreen and smiled as she accepted the water Zhao Liying offered her.

"Sister Tangtang, are you close to that guy today?"

Zhao Liying asked casually.

We met during the year we took the art college entrance exams.

Tang Yan drank water while replying to Xu Jingxing's messages. He had just returned to the hotel and sent Tang Yan a message to let her know he was safe.

"He's so handsome, and you've known each other for so long, haven't you ever thought about developing a relationship?" Zhao Liying asked secretly.

"I haven't thought about that much yet." Tang Yan didn't want to continue the topic and instead asked, "Is today your last scene?"

"Yes! Tonight is the last scene we'll be filming."

Zhao Liying nodded vaguely, and wanted to say something more, but Tang Yan's phone rang, so she had to give up.

Sitting in the chair, I recalled the scene I saw last week when I went to visit a friend on the set of "Investiture of the Gods".

Her roommate was a stunt double in the TV series "Investiture of the Gods," specifically working as a stand-in for Fan Bingbing.

Through a friend, she managed to get a chance to take a photo with Fan Bingbing. She wanted to send the photo home so her family would know she was doing well.

That day, during a break from Fan Bingbing's rest, she was about to go up and take a photo with her when she noticed that there was a boy sitting next to Fan Bingbing.

The two seemed to know each other well, chatting and laughing the whole time.

Fan Bingbing even thoughtfully tidied up his slightly messy wig.

It wasn't until today, when she saw Xu Jingxing, that the two figures suddenly overlapped in her mind, and she remembered the boy she had seen that day.

For a student who hasn't even graduated from film school to have such a close relationship with Fan Bingbing, he must have a very powerful background.

Zhao Liying looked at Tang Yan, who was standing under the tree making a phone call, her expression seemingly saying:

"She has such a high-quality resource by her side but doesn't know how to use it, and instead comes to film these low-quality, low-quality movies. It's really... I don't know whether to say she's stupid or that she's lucky."

......

At 7:30 p.m. that evening, Xu Jingxing arrived at the restaurant where he had arranged to meet Fan Bingbing.

Xu Jingxing, who had to change buses three times to reach his destination as requested by Fan Bingbing, couldn't help but admire her as a popular actress and a queen of controversy, having her own methods for avoiding paparazzi.

Before even leaving the hotel, Fan Bingbing had her assistant deliver a full set of protective gear from head to toe.

I heard that Xu Jingxing didn't have a hoodie, so he specially bought one.

Looking at the packaging bag with the Balenciaga logo, Xu Jingxing decided that he would definitely treat his sister to meals more often in the future.

Who said treating someone to a meal costs money? You're clearly making money!

Following Fan Bingbing's directions, they arrived at a private room located deep on the top floor of the hotel.

After knocking on the door and hearing Fan Bingbing's voice, Xu Jingxing pushed the door open and went in.

When Fan Bingbing saw Xu Jingxing fully armed, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. "If I hadn't known it was you beforehand, I wouldn't have recognized you in this outfit."

Xu Jingxing took off his hoodie, baseball cap, and mask one by one, and laughed awkwardly, "Haha, it feels like I'm a spy."

"There's no way around it. If you're not careful in this industry, who knows what kind of nonsense those reporters will write?"

"Indeed." Xu Jingxing nodded. "They've abandoned all shame for the sake of their magazine's sales."

Fan Bingbing took a bottle of water from the freezer and placed it in front of Xu Jingxing. "Drink some water, you must be feeling very hot."

"It's okay, it's not hot."

"It's not hot yet, but your hair is already wet." Fan Bingbing looked Xu Jingxing up and down. "I didn't know your size, so I just grabbed one at random. I didn't expect it to fit you so well. It suits you quite well."

"Sister Bingbing, I just said it offhand when you asked me. If I had known you were giving me such an expensive dress, I would have just gone and bought one myself," Xu Jingxing said embarrassedly.

"Don't worry about it, it's not expensive. If you like wearing it, I'll have Linlin pick out a few more T-shirts for you. It's getting warmer, so wearing a sweatshirt isn't appropriate anymore."

Linlin is Fan Bingbing's assistant.

"Really, no need, Sister Bingbing." Xu Jingxing waved his hands repeatedly and joked, "With my financial situation, even if I wore the real thing, people would think it was fake."

Fan Bingbing smiled and didn't continue the topic. "I've already ordered the food. As the one treating, you don't mind, do you?"

"How could that be? This is my first time here, so I certainly don't know as much as Sister Bingbing about what's good in their shop."

"Hehe, that's good."

As they were talking, the door to the room was pushed open, and a well-dressed middle-aged man walked in carrying a tray.

"Mr. Wang, is business so good at the restaurant? You're so busy that you have to serve the dishes yourself."

Fan Bingbing smiled and joked with the person who came.

"Bingbing, you're here, so of course I have to personally entertain you," Mr. Wang said with a smile as he placed the dishes on the table.

"Jingxing, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Wang Lizhi. Mr. Wang, this is Xu Jingxing, a very talented new actor."

Xu Jingxing stood up and shook hands with Wang Lichi.

"You guys chat for now, just call me if you need anything." After arranging the dishes, Wang Lizhi closed the door and tactfully left.

"Jingxing, try this roast pigeon, it's a specialty of the restaurant." Fan Bingbing picked up a roast pigeon leg for Xu Jingxing and placed it on his plate.

"Thank you, Sister Bingbing."

The two ate and chatted.

Halfway through the meal, Fan Bingbing raised her wine glass, looked at Xu Jingxing, and asked, "Jingxing, I have a film shoot the day after tomorrow, and I need a male actor to act opposite me. Are you interested?"

I was just worried about where to get attribute points.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came knocking on our door.

Xu Jingxing quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, raised his glass, and said, "Of course I'm interested, Sister Bingbing."

The two clinked glasses.

"Okay, I'll have Linlin bring you the script when I get back tonight."

"Thank you, Sister Bingbing, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely do my best."

Xu Jingxing filled his glass with wine again and downed it in one gulp.

......

After the dinner, Fan Bingbing left first, while Xu Jingxing, after paying the bill, once again disguised himself and quietly left through the back door.

Back at the hotel, I had just finished showering when there was a knock on the door.

When the door opened, it was Fan Bingbing's assistant, Linlin.

"Sister Linlin."

During their time on set, Xu Jingxing and Linlin had many opportunities to spend time together, and the two have become quite familiar with each other.

"Here you go, Sister Bingbing asked me to bring this to you."

Linlin held up the bag in her hand and waved it in front of Xu Jingxing.

Linlin took the bag and was about to leave when Xu Jingxing called her back:

"Sister Linlin, wait a moment."

Upon entering the room, Xu Jingxing picked up a bag from the bedside table and returned to the door to hand it to Linlin.

"Sister Linlin, thank you for your hard work today, running around so many times. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

After returning from Tang Yan's place in the afternoon, Xu Jingxing went to the mall and bought several bottles of Kled Silver Mountain Water perfume, intending to give one bottle each to Tang Yan, Zhang Jiani, and Liu Shishi as a gift.

Xu Jingxing couldn't just give Fan Bingbing anything rashly; he could only start by targeting the people around her.

"What's this?" Linlin asked, shaking the bag in her hand.

Xu Jingxing smiled and said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation."

"Okay, then I'll take it." Linlin gave Xu Jingxing a knowing look, picked up the bag, and left happily.

After seeing Linlin off, Xu Jingxing went inside and opened the bag Fan Bingbing had given him. Inside, besides a folder containing the script, there were also three shirts.

Opening them one by one, it was the familiar Balenciaga again.

This time, however, the sweatshirt has been replaced with a T-shirt.

Xu Jingxing looked at the hoodie lying on the bed, then at himself in the mirror.

Why do I feel like I'm being kept?
