Zhang Shutong saw that Fan Yun was taking the bait, so she steered the conversation toward Chu Yin.
"I heard that the leading actress in your drama is Chu Yin. She seems to be quite popular lately. What do you think of her?"
Zhang Shutong began probing Fan Yun.
Fan Yun smiled faintly, "She’s pretty good, fairly young, speaks candidly, and her acting still needs improvement, but the director is quite optimistic about her."
If he started with criticisms about Chu Yin, it would obviously be fake.
Since Zhang Shutong chose to use him, she should have inquired about their interactions on set.
Therefore, some truths mixed with falsehoods are more convincing.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shutong nodded.
It was almost the same as her investigation results; it seemed Fan Yun was genuinely fond of her.
Zhang Shutong continued, "Do you think I could surpass her? I don’t mean it that way; I just want to know if I rank pretty well in your eyes."
Her coy demeanor startled Fan Yun.
Isn’t she quite the actress?
If Chu Yin acted like this, she’d probably have a legion of admirers.
Fan Yun pondered for a moment, gazing deeply into Zhang Shutong’s eyes.
"Miss Zhang, as an actor, I still don’t know how well you can act, but I believe that with enough effort, you can make your mother proud of you."
"As your admirer, to me, you are definitely the best."
Fan Yun thought to himself that he too had a knack for acting.
Zhang Shutong covered her lips slightly, "You really know how to please people; there must be plenty who like you."
"More or less, but right now I only like one person, and I’m not sure if they’ll give me a chance."
Fan Yun stared at Zhang Shutong.
Under the ambiguous lighting, everything seemed particularly beautiful.
Only the two of them knew what they were really thinking.
Zhang Shutong vaguely said, "Right now I only wish my mom could change her view of you... you all."
Speaking as if breaking into the entertainment industry was for Fan Yun’s sake.
Previously, Fan Yun was really touched because he thought Zhang Shutong didn’t need to do this.
But now he felt that Zhang Shutong was truly terrifying.
Clearly not loving him, not caring for him, yet could act so passionate.
He almost felt ashamed by comparison.
"Eat your food."
In a daze, Fan Yun instinctively wanted to treat Zhang Shutong well.
He picked up the dish Zhang Shutong liked and placed it on her plate.
Zhang Shutong glanced at it, but didn’t eat, instead picking food herself.
Perhaps she didn’t care.
But Fan Yun noticed.
He realized that Zhang Shutong fundamentally looked down on him; how could she possibly prove anything to her mother for his sake?
Everything was just manipulation.
Then, Fan Yun’s phone lit up.
It was an unfamiliar number, but judging by the content, it should be Sang Li.
"Is she assured?"
Sometimes, Fan Yun felt some people were inherently superior.
Sang Li could predict things so accurately.
He probably even guessed what he and Zhang Shutong talked about.
"Yes."
Zhang Shutong asked, "What’s up? Who’s looking for you?"
Fan Yun quickly switched to the dialogue box with his assistant.
Coincidentally, his assistant was sending a schedule.
"It’s my assistant; he’s worried I might go out drinking again and forget about tomorrow’s work."
Zhang Shutong glanced and believed Fan Yun’s words.
She took a sip of red wine and continued, "Fan Yun, are you really not involved with that Chu Yin?"
Just as Fan Yun was about to answer, Sang Li’s message came through again.
"If she asks about your relationship with Chu Yin, be vague, keep it ambiguous."
Huh?
What does he mean?
