After Being Scumbed - Chapter 66
Yin Bai’s high-profile confession brought Zuo Jingyou not only hot searches, but also far higher attention at the banquet than ever before.
Although Yin Bai is a famous taker in the circle, it is difficult to get her favor. In the past, everyone knew that she preferred, and would try to get close to Xiao Nian, thus getting Yin Bai’s attention.
Now that Yin Bai and Xiao Nian have been separated for several years, they have other loves, and some filmmakers who want to get investment focus on Zuo Jingyou.
Therefore, in the dinner after the awards banquet, Zuo Jingyou was more noticeable than the directors and actors who won the awards.
Zuo Jingyou socialized all night, and finally found a chance to breathe, and found Yin Bai who was hiding in the corner and eating a fruit plate with his assistant Xiang Qiu.
In general, Yin Bai rarely comes out to socialize on such occasions. Most of the time, she gives people who need socializing to Zhang Yu, and she can send them away with just one sentence of “contact my assistant”.
Zuo Jingyou, who had been pestered all night, chuckled when she saw her leisurely tasting dessert and fruit plate, and said, “Mr. Yin, you are so leisurely~”
Yin Bai held the fork, looked up at her and said, “Of course, I don’t have to socialize~”
She stretched out her hand, pulled aside the chair, and patted the back of the chair to signal Zuo Jingyou to sit down: “Let’s take a break. If we have finished greetings with acquaintances, let’s go back soon.”
Zuo Jingyou nodded and said hello.
Yin Bai scooped a spoonful of dessert for her, handed it to Zuo Jingyou, and said with a smile: “Ah…Come on, Teacher Zuo, eat something sweet to replenish your strength.”
Zuo Jingyou squinted and smiled, lowered his head to hold Yin Bai’s spoon, and when the tip of his tongue touched the sweet cake, Zuo Jingyou commented: “It’s very sweet and delicious.”
Yin Bai nodded and said in agreement: “It’s delicious, but it’s still a bit worse than the cake made by Teacher Zuo!”
Zuo Jing looked at her softly: “Want to eat the cake I made?”
“More than that!” Yin Bai pinched his fingers and counted a bunch very greedily: “I want to eat Mr. Zuo’s pudding, Mr. Zuo’s sweet and sour small row, Mr. Zuo stewed soup, Mr. Zuo’s fish…”
“In short, I want Teacher Zuo to cook for me!”
Zuo Jingyou looked at her look like a greedy puppy, stretched out her hand and squeezed her face, smiled and coaxed her: “After I go back, I will do it for you?”
Yin Bai nodded his head and said happily, “Okay, my friends are going to eat her mother’s food too!”
“Good good, your friend has a copy too!”
After working for a month, Zuo Jingyou also felt that it was time for him to go home and accompany his daughter.
Xiang Qiu, who was sitting opposite Yin Bai, felt a bit supportive when he saw the scene of these two people showing their affection unscrupulously. What to do, such a delicious cake, it doesn’t smell at all!
No wonder her colleague prefers to socialize recently rather than staying with the boss. When these two people talked about love, they were really dog abuse!
Of course, this dog food not only choked on the opposite single dog Xiang Qiu, but also choked on married Lu Qing.
Looking for Zuo Jingyou’s figure and looking for a chance to negotiate, Lu Qing was holding a champagne glass and saw Yin Bai feeding Zuo Jingyou not far away. Suddenly, he felt that perhaps Yin Bai was not so tall on the outside. Cold and merciless people.
Perhaps she had loved Xiao Nian so much in a place she didn’t know. It’s not what she thought… Yin Bai didn’t cherish Xiao Nian, but treated her like a canary…
But this is a thing of the past. It doesn’t matter what kind of person Yin Bai is, because Xiao Nian chose her in the end and spent the rest of her life with her.
Such thoughts flashed in Lu Qing’s mind, but she quickly suppressed these personal emotions, remembered the business, and finally walked towards Zuo Jingyou.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Yin Bai, who was thinking about what he was going to eat with Zuo Jingyou, raised his head, and saw Lu Qing holding the wine glass at a glance, and his heart suddenly shook…
What is this person doing again?
Zuo Jingyou noticed that Yin Bai in front of him had stopped talking, and his gaze fell straight behind her. So following Yin Bai’s gaze, he turned his head and looked at Lu Qing who was approaching her, and said hello in surprise: “Road guide?”
Lu Qing pursed his lips and smiled, and greeted the two of them with a toast: “Yin Dong, Teacher Zuo…”
Yin Bai nodded without exception, raised his hand and bit the fork, thinking that Lu Qing is all right, why? Is it the same as last year, for the movie. No, I have been looking for Zuo Jingyou for a year, hasn’t Zuo Jingyou responded yet?
Just when Yin Bai was thinking and thinking wildly, Lu Qing pulled out the chair, sat down beside them, looked at Zuo Jingyou very seriously, and said: “I want to fight with Teacher Zuo about that movie. Talk to me again?”
Yin Baiman on the side poked his fruit plate carelessly, but secretly raised all his mind, and focused on Lu Qing, wanting to hear what she wanted to say to Zuo Jingyou!
Movie? Sure enough, is it still from last year?
Zuo Jingyou didn’t expect that Lu Qing was still thinking about it. She had already officially rejected it, but Lu Qing still did not give up. Zuo Jingyou sighed and looked at Lu Qing and said, “Guide, I explained it to you clearly last time. I have studied your script carefully, and I have also studied the character information… But… Mr. Lin’s role , I don’t think I can interpret it well…”
Lu Qing put down his wine glass, looked at Zuo Jingyou and said very seriously: “But I think that among actresses of the same age, there is no such thing as Teacher Zuo for you to be more suitable for this role. I really look forward to it. The teacher cooperates once.”
Zuo Jingyou lightly smiled: “Thank you for the absurd praise of the guide, but it is very difficult for this role to be well grasped. I think I can’t accurately interpret it now. Why don’t the guides consider better actresses? What? For example, Teacher Jiang Yue, and Teacher Meng Zhiqiu…”
Lu Qing pondered for a while, and seemed to see Zuo Jingyou’s determination. She hesitated for a moment, looked at Zuo Jingyou and said, “Can you tell me the reason why you don’t want to be in this movie? I think you, such a discerning person, will definitely not miss this role.”
“Is the schedule inappropriate? I can wait for Mr. Zuo’s schedule… As for the film remuneration, I can also give Mr. Zuo a generous remuneration. Although this film is my self-funded selfie, the production must be a big production…”
“The script is exquisite, you have seen my level, and the production team is reliable. I really can’t think of why you want to reject this movie.”
Lu Qing frowned, an obvious confusion appeared on his face.
Zuo Jingyou looked at her with a faint smile, and his tone was still gentle: “Just like the road guide said, this production team, and this script, this role is something I cannot refuse. But I also know that I can’t To be qualified for this role, I had to reluctantly refuse.”
Lu Qing pursed his lips, frowned and said, “But Teacher Zuo doesn’t look like a painful rejection at all. Or is there someone in our team who doesn’t look like a cooperator?”
People who don’t want to cooperate?
Yin Bai turned his head and glanced at Zuo Jingyou, with the same confusion in his heart.
Zuo Jingyou shook his head and said with a chuckle: “No such thing, I really want to cooperate with the road guide, but this time is really not suitable. Because I am looking forward to this story, I hope that there will be more exquisite acting skills. My predecessors will interpret this outstanding woman. This is my heartfelt blessing to the road guide and my expectation for this movie.”
“Since Mr. Zuo is so looking forward to this role, why not try to cooperate with me, maybe there will be unexpected results?”
Although Zuo Jingyou’s mouth is still smiling, the smile in his eyes has faded: “I am very self-aware of my own abilities. I don’t think I can have an excellent interpretation and explosion in this role… so , The guide should be smarter.”
This time, Zuo Jingyou refused quite politely.
Lu Qing understood the resoluteness in her words, thought for a while, no longer insisted, and had to say: “In this case, let’s work together again when we have a chance next time.”
Zuo Jingyou directly took Yin Bai’s champagne glass, and gave a false tribute to Lu Qingxu: “Then I will wish Ludao’s film a big hit in advance, and I won numerous awards~”
“Thank you~”
Lu Qing took a sip of wine, raised his eyes and looked at Yin Bai, who was immersed in eating, and finally left with the wine glass.
When leaving, Lu Qing couldn’t help but think: Maybe Zuo Jingyou would reject her, not for herself, but for Yin Bai.
If Zuo Jingyou was really dating Yin Bai, maybe she would really do something like this… After all, she and Yin Bai couldn’t understand each other… Zuo Jingyou loves Wu Jiwu, and it’s not surprising to do such a thing.
Although he couldn’t reach it, Lu Qing knew a little bit about Zuo Jingyou’s nature. She seems to speak well to everyone, but she is actually quite genuine.
Yin Bai from the corner of his eye caught Lu Qing’s journey away, and then quickly put down his fork, looked at Zuo Jingyou excitedly and asked, “What movie is Lu Qing looking for you to play?”
Zuo Jingyou smiled and explained to her: “In a Republican movie, the protagonist is the famous Lin Qiu, and Lu Qing wants to film her very legendary life…”
Is it the Republic of China again?
Yin Bai couldn’t help muttering: “Lu Qing really likes to film the stories that happened during the turbulent period of the Republic of China. But she did a good job, and several works were well received and popular.”
“Her script should not be bad, and she is famous for taking pictures of women, you will definitely look beautiful in her lens. Why did you reject her, is it because the script is not good?”
Zuo Jingyou sighed and looked at Yin Bai and said helplessly: “Because someone once told me angrily that she prefers me, so she won’t interact with anyone who makes me unhappy.”
“Since I have received such a heavy love, of course I have to repay her in the same way.”
Yin Bai widened his eyes and looked at Zuo Jingyou: “Because of this? For this reason, are you going to miss a movie that might be good?”
“Otherwise?” Zuo Jing looked at her softly, with a smile in his eyes: “A good movie can be met but not sought, and the same is true for a partner.”
“Yin Bai, I am actually just like you, a very willful person~”
“In my heart, your happiness is very important.”
Yin Bai knew that Zuo Jingyou valued herself, but when she really felt such a preference, she was still uncontrollably excited.
She grabbed Zuo Jingyou’s hand and said seriously: “Teacher Zuo, let’s go back now~”
Regarding her banquet and her social life, she now wants to hug her lover and make waves!
