The restaurant upstairs is a high-end western restaurant, which is also the place Hua Rong specially chose.

The elegant and luxurious environment is not only a deterrent to these little girls who have never been out of society, but also a temptation.Having truly seen the wonderful life that money can bring, will anyone still refuse?

Thinking of this, Hua Rong's expression finally returned to normal.

The waiter opened the door for the two of them. Hua Rong looked at Chu Meibo from the corner of her eye, but found that her attitude was calm, as if to her, this restaurant was no different from the chain coffee shop downstairs.

Hua Rong's heart sank, and she suddenly felt that today might not be as smooth as she imagined.

When the two sat down, no one spoke for a while.

On the one hand, Hua Rong wanted to adjust her mood, and on the other hand, she also wanted to put pressure on Chu Meibo. She blamed Chu Meibo's ignorance for her previous defeat, so she adjusted her strategy.

Hua Rong comforted herself, the next step is to compete for strength, can a strong woman like her be better than a little girl who hasn't left school yet?As long as Chu Meibo can't hold back, she can seize the initiative in the whole negotiation.

However, as the atmosphere between the two became more and more dignified, Chu Meibo didn't seem to notice it at all, he was calm and composed from the beginning to the end, and even took out the paper from his bag and began to write. At the beginning, I had a good time, but gradually I became a little restless.

At this moment, the voice of the waiter delivering food broke the freeze.

Hua Rong couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately realized that she had lost this competition of concentration.

Just as Hua Rong was about to say something, Chu Meibo asked the waiter, "Can I pack here?"

Waiter: "Ah...ah?"

Hua Rong didn't expect that she really wanted to pack, and felt very embarrassed for a moment, but unfortunately she agreed to it, so she could only keep a straight face and said to the waiter with a strange expression: "Go and get the menu."

The waiter came back to his senses: "Okay, just wait a moment."

The menu is in English, and Chu Meibo's English is not enough for her to fully understand the recipes, and she didn't ask one by one, pointing to the menu rather simply and rudely: "This page and this page, pack it for me .”

waiter:"……"

Hua Rong's heart was bleeding, this restaurant is not cheap, and this time she came to see Chu Meibo, it was a completely private act, and the meal had to be paid for by her own bank card.

The waiter took a cautious look at Hua Rong: "Madam, look..."

Chu Meibo also followed the waiter's words and looked at Hua Rong. She supported her stomach with one hand and said with a smile: "Ms. Hua, if you don't have enough money, I can pay for it myself."

Hua Rong forced a smile: "Since I treat you to dinner, how can I ask you to pay for it." She looked at the waiter and gritted her teeth, "Let's charge it to my account."

Waiter: "...Okay, okay."

After the waiter went down, Hua Rong's pain in the flesh gradually eased.

Thinking that since she became a manager, she has always been invincible, and this is the first time she has encountered such a setback, Hua Rong thought angrily, this Chu Meibo is just as stunned as Cheng Mengjiao, otherwise how could she play? together!

But Lengtouqing also has the benefits of Lengtouqing, at least not so thoughtful.

Thinking of this, Hua Rong finally felt a little better, and turned her gaze to Chu Meibo again, sizing her up carefully.

In terms of facial features alone, although Chu Meibo is beautiful, it is unavoidably a little thin, and the eyebrows are thin, but also a little pitiful, which is very in line with the public's aesthetic appearance.But if it's just such a face, it wouldn't be worthwhile for Hua Rong to come here to find her in the entertainment circle.

What really stands out about her is the sharpness revealed in her thin beauty, which is her core competitiveness.

Hua Rong looked at Chu Meibo who had already started to eat western food. Although her movements were a little rusty, her dining etiquette was correct.She wore cheap clothes, and she didn't look cramped among the elites wearing famous brands around her.

This calmness alone is far better than many people.

This aura is what a star needs most.

The more Hua Rong watched, the more satisfied she was, and the little grudge against Chu Meibo gradually disappeared. As long as Chu Meibo was signed by her, with her wrist, she would definitely be able to make people popular, and she would naturally make a lot of money by then. The bowl is full, so why bother with the little meal money now.

After thinking about it, Hua Rong finally returned to her usual appearance, and the shrewdness in her mind returned strongly.

She put down the knife and fork, wiped the corner of her mouth gently with a napkin, and said with a smile: "Miss Chu, please forgive me for taking the liberty to find you today."

Chu Meibo raised her eyebrows, it seemed that the main course was finally served, she also put down the knife and fork, and raised her head: "It's okay."

Hua Rong: "Don't be too nervous, just treat it as having a meal with your friends today, how many years older than you, you can call me Sister Hua, can I call you Meibo?"

Chu Meibo smiled: "Yes."

Hua Rong said again: "Actually, ever since I saw your acting clips for the first time, I have admired you very much and have always wanted to find a chance to get to know you. Last time at the awards ceremony, it was a bit inconvenient and I couldn't talk to you. Say a few more words, today is also a long-cherished wish."

In her opening remarks, she gave Chu Meibo a small hug, but it didn't seem deliberate.

"Meibo, your talent is very high. I have seen so many actresses, not to mention the new generation of Xiaohua, even the famous actresses. You are not inferior, especially your temperament. It’s a scarce resource in today’s industry——that segment of Kui Ji became popular immediately when it was released, which is proof.”

Chu Meibo raised his eyebrows: "So?"

Hua Rong saw that her attitude was still indifferent, as if she was not moved by her at all, so she had to step up her strength: "You have just entered this circle, so you may not know the reality. This circle is full of highs and lows. You are not popular, No matter how good your acting skills are, you are still just a rookie, you can only passively wait for an opportunity, and even if you are lucky, you are only the second or third female star in an online drama, which is a pity."

"But for an actress, youth is capital. How many talented actresses spend their time in this kind of waiting, and miss the best opportunity. There is only a little place at the top of the pyramid, and everyone wants to stand Go up, more capital means more possibilities, are you right?"

Chu Meibo propped his chin: "Then, what does Sister Hua mean?"

Seeing her taking the bait, Hua Rong's mouth curled slightly, and she quickly said, "I said before that I admire you very much, and I really don't want to see your talent being wasted, so I want to cooperate with you to achieve a win-win situation."

"As long as you listen to me and do what I say, in just one year, I can make your popularity rise rapidly and make you the most popular female star in this country. You don't need to audition to spell a female N number, A lot of scripts will be presented in front of you, begging you to play the leading role, as well as various endorsements and resources, you will have countless money, crazy fans, you can get whatever you want... ..."

Hua Rong's words were full of fanaticism and were extremely provocative.

"Sounds very tempting?" Chu Meibo leaned back, folded his arms, and asked lightly, "But I know that there is no good thing in this world that doesn't have to be paid. Sister Hua, I don't think this is the kind of charity. people?"

Chu Meibo responded too calmly, as if a basin of cold water was pouring down Hua Rong's head.

Hua Rong couldn't help sitting upright, and said eagerly, "What are you worried about? Hidden rules? Or do you not believe that I can do it?"

Chu Meibo was noncommittal.

Hua Rong spoke in a hurry: "You can go to the industry to inquire about my reputation. Since I can say it, I can do it. As for the unspoken rules, although I dare not promise you, I am by no means short-sighted. My own artist pimp..."

She looked at Chu Meibo fixedly: "The first time I saw you, I knew that you and I were the same kind of person. You are ambitious and unwilling to be ordinary. You can give everything for your goal. Those false names, It's just used to trap some incompetent people, the real strong don't care about these at all."

Hearing her words, Chu Meibo's expression finally changed a little.

She laughed out loud.

Hua Rong frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Meibo said lightly: "You're right, I'm ambitious, I'm not willing to be ordinary, I can give everything for my goal, I don't care about reputation, but..."

"But what?" Hua Rong asked.

"I'm an actor." Chu Meibo's voice was flat, but his firmness was beyond doubt, "My ambition is only about acting."

"Huh?" Hua Rong looked at her in disbelief, laughed briefly, and then said hastily, "Actor? What nonsense are you talking about? Are you reciting lines?"

Chu Meibo was not angry either, but just chuckled lightly: "Differences do not conspire with each other."

Hua Rong managed to suppress her anger, and continued, "Even so, our goals don't conflict, to become the most popular..."

"It's not the same." Chu Meibo shook his head, "What you need is a celebrity, a personality that is completely opposite to the current mainstream idiot and sweetness. She needs a lot of exposure and appears in the public eye. As long as people think of her, It's her who comes to mind, not the character she's playing."

"What's wrong with that!" Hua Rong asked unwillingly.

"It's nothing bad." Chu Meibo said indifferently, "It's just not suitable for me."

"I am an actor, and my work should be the character that appears in each play, not myself. I need more space to let me settle myself and enter the role. I am really not willing to only play the second female Three, I want to challenge more outstanding and complex characters, and want to participate in more interesting stories, but my ambition does not need to be realized by these low-end methods.”

"With my strength, one year is enough."

Her words were blunt, like a slap on Hua Rong's face.

Hua Rong's face turned blue and red, and she stood up suddenly: "You are too naive, you will regret it sooner or later!"

Chu Meibo: "Oh, let's wait and see."

Hua Rong was completely defeated in this confrontation, and she didn't care about her demeanor, and angrily called the waiter to pay the bill.

The waiter came over with a bag of take-out boxes: "Here are the dishes you packed."

Hua Rong choked for breath.

Chu Meibo took it calmly, and gestured to Hua Rong with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality."

Hua Rong: "..."

Hua Rong was trembling with anger, and finally stepped on her high heels to pay the bill, and left the restaurant quickly.

Chu Meibo then slowly walked out of the restaurant with the packed food.

And not long after the two left, on the table not far from them, an old man with thinning white hair smiled and said: "This little girl is rare."

The person opposite him also smiled and said: "What Director Xie said is that in the material society, there are really not many actors who are so pure."

Director Xie stroked his chin: "Tell me, how about letting her play Cheng Yanxin?"

The person on the opposite side turned pale with shock: "Are you kidding me?"

Director Xie showed displeasure: "Am I a joker?"

"But...but..."

The other party was about to cry, he was the producer of the movie "Red Actress", and the director Xie opposite was the director of this movie, and he was one of the most famous directors in China.

"Red Ling" is a novel of the same name written by Xu Hanzhang, a literary master in the period of the Republic of China. Xu Hanzhang's achievements in literature are extremely high. "Red Ling" is his most famous novel. The heroine Cheng Yanxin is based on the legendary actress Gu Mei. written.

Ever since I knew that Director Xie was going to direct this drama, I don't know how many female actors have taken the role of Cheng Yanxin. The drama is still in preparation, so many people have already inquired through various channels.

It's just that Director Xie is famous, has a big temper, and is stubborn, so he is not satisfied with any of them.

So, he made a decision directly: "Go and find out, which company it is from, and let her come over for an audition when the time comes."
