CHAPTER 984: CHAPTER 128: CHILDISH BEHAVIOR

Chapter 128

"Xia Lu is taking me out for lunch, and she’s going to introduce me to two big celebrities. I’m just letting you know, I won’t be having lunch with you," Yan Yuan said.

Bai Chenxi frowned, "What’s so special about meeting them? They’re just two actors. You’d be better off trying to win me over. I’ll invest in you and make you a star."

Yan Yuan smiled at him, her smile full of threat, "So you’re saying if I don’t try to please you, you won’t make me famous?"

Bai Chenxi immediately felt the pressure coming from Yan Yuan and smiled, "It’s not like that. I’m just saying having lunch with them doesn’t serve any real purpose."

Yan Yuan extended a finger to lift Bai Chenxi’s chin, smiling, "Stop being so self-absorbed. Let me tell you, even if you don’t promote me, I’ll still become famous."

Bai Chenxi was speechless.

This woman is really Yan Yuan, totally lacking in any romance.

She wanted to go out for lunch with Xia Lu, yet he didn’t want her to go. What should he do?

"Yueyue, I’ll take you out for a gourmet meal at noon instead. No need to go with Xia Lu." Bai Chenxi said anxiously.

Yan Yuan adjusted her clothes, smiled, and waved goodbye to Bai Chenxi, "No need, I have other plans. Besides, I’m not that interested in food right now."

Saying this, Yan Yuan strode out of Bai Chenxi’s office.

Bai Chenxi: "...!"

That Xia Lu, what’s the point of inviting Yan Yuan out for a meal!

Is her salary too high? Too much money to spend?

Deduct it!

At noon, Yan Yuan waited for Xia Lu, but after a long wait, Xia Lu didn’t show up.

Instead, she received a call from Xia Lu.

"Yueyue, I just remembered I have something to do at noon. I won’t be able to make it, but you’ll meet the seniors next time in the company. Also, don’t forget tomorrow’s shoot."

With that, Xia Lu hurriedly hung up the phone.

Too terrifying, inviting Yan Yuan out for a meal with good intentions, yet it leads to salary deductions.

So, Yan Yuan, it’s not that I don’t want to invite you, but who dares to invite you for a meal.

Yan Yuan stared at the disconnected call in confusion. What kind of move was that?

Still at a loss, Bai Chenxi approached her with an innocent look, "Yueyue, weren’t you going to have lunch with Xia Lu?"

Yan Yuan came back to her senses, glared at Bai Chenxi, and didn’t want to respond, "She had something come up last minute, so I’m going by myself."

"Don’t say that! Bring someone along; that way, someone else pays the bill!" Bai Chenxi immediately offered himself.

Yan Yuan glared at him. It seemed like she had no other option.

She couldn’t figure out that Bai Chenxi would threaten Xia Lu to do such a foolish thing.

The two sat down at a fish restaurant not far from the company.

The owner warmly welcomed them.

Sitting at the table, Yan Yuan thought of the fried small fish she had eaten in the Jiangli City town.

"Bai Chenxi, do you think the fish here is as delicious as the ones made by the uncle in Jiangli City?" Yan Yuan asked.

Bai Chenxi saw her looking a bit uninterested and said, "Every type of fish has different ways of preparation. They can be cooked differently, like boiling, grilling, sashimi, dried fish, and various canned fish."

Listening to this, Yan Yuan suddenly had an appetite.

"Alright, I really want to try the fish here to see if they’re really that tasty," Yan Yuan said with some anticipation.

Bai Chenxi nodded and assured, "This place has been open for more than six years, and regular customers dine here. Surely it tastes good, or why would business be booming every day?"

Xia Yeqiu looked around. The place wasn’t packed, but most tables were occupied. "Today doesn’t seem that great!"

"There’s still half an hour until lunch peak, you’ll see," Bai Chenxi said.
