Chapter 74 First Encounter with Zhang Ruonan! The Sisters Seem Jealous
Chapter 74 First Encounter with Zhang Ruonan! The Sisters Seem Jealous
Lin Yu's hand froze in mid-air, completely stunned.
Zhang Ruonan?
When that name came to mind.
He even thought he had misheard.
He thought about it carefully and realized that Zhang Ruonan did indeed sign with Enlight Media around 2016.
He didn't have a deep impression of Zhang Ruonan in his previous life.
All I know is that she's a rising star heavily promoted by Enlight Media.
She played Gu Senxiang in "Cry Me a Sad River".
Her sweet and innocent appearance is very distinctive, and she later starred in dramas such as "The Psychologist" and "Light Up You".
I never expected to run into you at this time.
Lin Yu snapped out of his thoughts and pushed open the door to his office.
The office was decorated in a very cozy style.
Warm-toned lighting, off-white sofa, and a delicate bouquet of lilies on the coffee table.
Several people were sitting on the sofa against the wall.
Lin Yu spotted Zhang Ruonan at a glance.
no way.
Her presence is so striking.
Zhang Ruonan sat in the corner of the sofa.
Her long, smooth, black hair cascaded over her shoulders.
Her hair ends curled slightly inward, making her face appear even smaller and more delicate.
She was wearing a light blue dress, the color of which was so light it resembled the sky after it had been washed, fresh and clean.
The skirt hem just reached her knees, revealing a section of her fair and slender calves.
She was wearing a pair of white canvas shoes, and she looked simple and comfortable.
Her features aren't the kind that are stunningly beautiful, but the more you look at her, the more attractive she becomes.
Her eyebrows are curved, her eyes are not big but very bright, and when she smiles, the corners of her eyes droop slightly, giving her a natural gentleness and friendliness.
She has a straight and delicate nose, and her lips are a light pink. She doesn't wear lipstick, but she has a natural, delicate pinkish look.
What's most captivating is the smile on her face.
It's a natural kind of sweet and gentle girl, like the girl next door, making you want to get closer to her.
She sat there quietly, neither flamboyant nor shy, exuding a comfortable aura.
Zhang Ruonan also noticed the group of people who came in.
She looked up, her gaze sweeping over, and her eyes immediately fell on Lin Yu.
There's no way around it, this person is just too conspicuous.
He is over 1.8 meters tall.
He stands out from the crowd.
Her facial features are exquisite and three-dimensional, with well-defined contours.
He was wearing a clean and crisp white shirt and dark casual pants.
She exudes a refreshing and sunny aura, radiating an undeniable presence.
Zhang Ruonan thought to herself: This person has such a good temperament.
Then her gaze shifted to the girl next to Lin Yu.
The girl was wearing a white lace dress, and she looked as sweet as a princess who had stepped out of a painting.
Her features are delicate and petite, with upturned corners of her mouth and two shallow dimples on her cheeks. Her smile is so sweet that it can melt your heart.
Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but take a second look.
This girl is so pretty.
Moreover, her sweet temperament made even a girl like her feel a sense of goodwill.
She thought to herself: Is this a newly signed artist of the company?
She's really good-looking.
Lin Yu led Tian Xiwei and her mother to the middle of the office, with Li Chengyuan following behind them.
A middle-aged woman stood up from behind her desk and greeted her with a smile.
She looks to be around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.
She was dressed in a well-fitting black business suit, her hair was tied up, revealing a well-maintained face.
He has regular features and his eyes and brows reveal his shrewdness and competence, but when he smiles, he is very kind and gives people a sense of friendliness.
"Mr. Sun, I've brought the person to you," Li Chengyuan said with a smile to the middle-aged woman.
Then he turned to Lin Yu and Tian Xiwei and introduced them.
"This is Ms. Sun Yonghuan, the head of the talent agency department at Enlight Media. She oversees the entire talent agency department. Xiaoyu, from now on, your talent agency affairs will also be handled by Ms. Sun."
Lin Yu was startled.
The head of the entire brokerage department?
That's quite a high status.
"Hello, Mr. Sun, I'm Lin Yu. I hope you'll take care of me in the future." Lin Yu greeted him directly.
Sun Yonghuan grasped Lin Yu's hand, looked him up and down, and his smile deepened.
"Lin Yu, I've heard so much about you. President Wang has mentioned you to me several times, saying you're a promising talent. Meeting you today, I can confirm that he truly lives up to his reputation."
Sun Yonghuan's voice was gentle, carrying the warmth of an elder to a younger generation, yet it was also measured.
Lin Yu could tell from her tone that this Ms. Sun knew his background.
That's right, Wang Changtian is his uncle, and that shouldn't be a secret among the company's upper management.
"Mr. Sun, you flatter me. I'm just a newcomer, and I'll need your guidance in the future," Lin Yu said modestly.
"It's good for young people to be humble, but they don't need to be too humble," Sun Yonghuan said with a smile, then looked at Tian Xiwei.
"Is this the new young lady you just signed?"
"Hello, Mr. Sun, my name is Tian Xiwei. I just got into the Shanghai Theatre Academy this year." Tian Xiwei greeted him politely with a sweet smile on her face.
Sun Yonghuan looked Tian Xiwei over and nodded in satisfaction.
"He has a good image and temperament; he's a promising talent. Mr. Li, you have a good eye for talent."
Li Chengyuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's not that I have good taste, it's that Xiaoyu recommended it."
Sun Yonghuan glanced at Lin Yu, a hint of approval in his eyes.
"Xiaoyu is great. Not only is he excellent himself, but he can also find talent for the company."
"Mr. Sun, if you keep praising me, I'll get embarrassed," Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Mr. Li, I'll take him on. I'll handle the agency contract," Sun Yonghuan said with a smile, turning to Li Chengyuan.
"Okay, Ms. Sun, you can arrange it. I won't interfere. Xiao Yu, you should cooperate well with Ms. Sun. If there's anything, just contact her directly." Li Chengyuan nodded and said.
"Okay, Brother Li," Lin Yu replied.
Li Chengyuan patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, then turned and left the office.
Sun Yonghuan invited Lin Yu, Tian Xiwei, and Tian's mother to sit down, and then had his assistant pour tea.
"Ms. Tian, your daughter has an outstanding image and temperament. Our company will focus on cultivating her talent," Sun Yonghuan said to Ms. Tian.
"According to the company's arrangements for newcomers, we will assign her an experienced agent to handle all her performing arts affairs. This agent doesn't have many people under her right now, so she can focus on managing Tian Xiwei."
"That's wonderful, thank you, Mr. Sun," said Mrs. Tian politely.
Sun Yonghuan picked up the internal phone on the table and dialed a number.
"Liang Mu, come to my office."
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.
A woman in her thirties walked in.
She wore a simple gray suit, her hair was tied in a low ponytail, and she wore light makeup, making her look capable and professional.
Her features weren't particularly beautiful, but she had a great temperament, a firm gaze, and a decisive and efficient manner in her speech and actions.
"Mr. Sun, you wanted to see me?" Liang Mu's voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear.
"Liang Mu, this is Tian Xiwei, a newly signed artist. You'll be in charge of her from now on." Sun Yonghuan pointed to Tian Xiwei, and then to Lin Yu.
"This is Lin Yu, an actor in our company. Although he's not your artist, we might cross paths in the future. You two should get to know each other."
Liang Mu looked at Tian Xiwei with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Good looks and good temperament, he has potential for development." Liang Mu nodded, then looked at Lin Yu.
"Lin Yu, I've heard of you. You played Gu Huan in 'Phoenix Prisoner' and Yang Kang in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' recently. You both acted quite well."
"Sister Liang, you flatter me. I'm just a newcomer and still have a lot to learn," Lin Yu said politely.
Liang Mu smiled but didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Zhang Ruonan, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa, stood up.
Judging from Tian Xiwei's appearance, her family background must be quite well-off.
Moreover, Lin Yu's background should be quite powerful.
He was able to call Li Chengyuan, the CEO, his brother.
Even though she lacks connections, she should believe in her own efforts.
She mustered her courage and walked up to Liang Mu.
"Sister Liang, who are these two...?" Zhang Ruonan's voice was soft, with the gentle tone characteristic of a southern girl.
"Oh, let me introduce you." Liang Mu said to Lin Yu and Tian Xiwei, holding Zhang Ruonan's hand.
"This is Zhang Ruonan, a newly signed artist with the company. She's here today to sign her contract. Ruonan, this is Lin Yu, and this is Tian Xiwei."
Zhang Ruonan looked at the two of them, her signature sweet smile appearing on her face.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Ruonan. Please take care of me in the future."
Her voice was soft and warm, like a spring breeze whispering in your ear, making you feel very comfortable.
Tian Xiwei's eyes lit up, and she enthusiastically extended her hand.
"Hello, hello, my name is Tian Xiwei, we'll be colleagues from now on! You're so beautiful!"
Her eyes were full of excitement about meeting her new sisters.
Zhang Ruonan was a little embarrassed by Tian Xiwei's enthusiasm, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"You're very pretty too. When I saw you just now, I thought, 'This girl is so sweet.'"
The two girls smiled at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became harmonious.
Lin Yu stood to the side, watching the two praise each other, and silently sighed in his heart.
Friendships between women come so quickly.
I just wonder if they'll show their sisterly bond when competing for resources.
After all, they are still college students with clear eyes.
After everything was settled, Tian Xiwei held Zhang Ruonan's hand and said with bright eyes.
"Sister Ruonan, my mom and I are going to spend a few days in Kyoto. Why don't you come with us? It'll be so much fun if the three of us go sightseeing together!"
"I...I might not be able to make it. I have to rush back to Hangzhou for class tomorrow," Zhang Ruonan said hesitantly, somewhat embarrassed.
"Oh, it's just for two days, it won't take up too much time. Besides, we'll be colleagues soon, so let's get to know each other better," Tian Xiwei said, pulling her along affectionately.
Zhang Ruonan shook her head again.
Her family's financial situation is average; the travel expenses to Kyoto to sign the contract had already been considerable.
If you spend a few days in Kyoto, food, accommodation, and transportation will be a considerable expense.
"Ruonan, why don't you stay and have some fun? To welcome our new colleague, the company will reimburse all expenses for the next two days of sightseeing—food, lodging, and transportation are all on me. Consider it my way of showing hospitality!" Lin Yu said with a smile, noticing Zhang Ruonan's concerns.
Zhang Ruonan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lin Yu.
"real?"
"Of course it's true. You just signed with the company and aren't familiar with it yet, so this is a good opportunity to learn more. Besides, it's boring for Xiwei to shop alone, so you two will have each other's company," Lin Yu said with a smile.
At this time, he also set an example as an older brother.
Zhang Ruonan bit her lip, feeling somewhat tempted.
She really wanted to stay in Kyoto for a couple more days, since it was a rare opportunity to visit.
and……
She glanced at Lin Yu secretly.
Spending a couple more days with this person seems like a good idea.
"Well... okay, thank you, Brother Lin Yu." Zhang Ruonan finally nodded, a happy smile on her face.
Tian Xiwei was so happy she almost jumped up, and she shook Zhang Ruonan's hand back and forth.
"Great! Ruonan, let's go to the Forbidden City first tomorrow, then the Summer Palace, and the Great Wall the day after tomorrow! Brother Lin Yu will drive us there!"
Lin Yu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the two girls' excited expressions.
Young is so good.
That evening.
Lin Yu arranged for Tian Xiwei and Zhang Ruonan to stay at a hotel that the company partnered with, and the two girls stayed in adjacent rooms.
Tian's mother and Tian Xiwei shared a room.
Lin Yu returned home, lay on his bed, and checked his schedule on his phone.
The first-grader graduation season is about to air, and I'll be busy for a while then.
But before that, he can relax for two days.
Taking two beautiful women sightseeing in Kyoto shouldn't be too tiring, right?
The next morning, Lin Yu drove his white Porsche Macan Turbo to the hotel.
Today he wore a light blue polo shirt, paired with white casual pants and white sneakers, looking fresh and sunny.
When Zhang Ruonan and Tian Xiwei walked out of the hotel lobby, Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
Today, Tian Xiwei changed into a pink floral dress and tied her hair into two low ponytails.
Wearing a straw hat, she looked as sweet as a peach.
Zhang Ruonan was wearing a white T-shirt and light blue denim shorts.
She revealed a pair of straight and slender legs, wearing white canvas shoes, with long hair draped over her shoulders, looking pure and natural.
The two girls stood together, one sweet and the other innocent and pure, a pleasing sight to behold.
Aunt Tian, being sensible, followed behind the two of them, not trying to steal the spotlight.
Tian Xiwei pulled Zhang Ruonan into the back seat, and the two girls started chatting away.
Lin Yu started the car and drove towards downtown Kyoto.
Our first stop was the Forbidden City.
Lin Yu had booked tickets online in advance, so the four of them could go straight in without queuing.
Walking on the stone-paved streets of the Forbidden City, the sunlight shines on the red walls and yellow tiles, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Tian Xiwei was like a curious child, looking at this and touching that, constantly asking questions.
"Brother Lin Yu, what is this palace for?"
"This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where the emperor held grand ceremonies."
Wow, it's huge!
"Brother Lin Yu, why is this lion made of bronze?"
"Because copper is expensive, and gold is even more expensive, even the emperor was reluctant to use gold."
Zhang Ruonan walked beside him, listening to Lin Yu's serious nonsense, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Brother Lin Yu, where did you learn all this?"
"I crammed for this on Baidu Baike last night," Lin Yu frankly admitted.
The two of them burst out laughing at the same time after hearing this.
Along the way, the four of them attracted a lot of attention.
There's no way around it; with his height and model-like face, Lin Yu already stands out from the crowd.
With the addition of two outstandingly beautiful girls, Tian Xiwei and Zhang Ruonan, the three of them together look like they're filming an idol drama.
Many tourists secretly took out their phones to take pictures, and some even whispered among themselves.
"That guy is so handsome, is he a celebrity?"
"Those two girls next to me are so pretty, could they be filming a TV show?"
"Quick, quick, take a picture! Take a picture!"
"That guy looks familiar... Oh right, I saw him in the video of the opening ceremony of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' he's Lin Yu, who plays Yang Kang."
"I just remembered, I even follow him on Weibo, I never expected to actually meet him in person today."
Then, this female fan even found a group photo of Lin Yu, Tian Xiwei, and Zhang Ruonan.
Hearing these comments, Tian Xiwei felt secretly pleased and secretly glanced at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu is indeed the center of attention wherever he goes.
Zhang Ruonan was a little embarrassed. She wasn't used to being stared at or having photos taken with others, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"Don't be nervous, you'll get used to it," Lin Yu said with a smile, noticing her discomfort.
Zhang Ruonan looked up at his gentle smile and suddenly felt much more at ease.
In the afternoon, the Summer Palace was bathed in sunshine and a gentle breeze was blowing.
The three of them rented a small boat and rowed slowly on Kunming Lake.
Tian Xiwei sat at the bow of the boat, dipping her feet into the water. The cool lake water made her let out a comfortable sigh.
Zhang Ruonan sat opposite Lin Yu, holding a bottle of water in her hand, looking at Longevity Hill in the distance with a serene smile on her face.
"Ruonan, are you happy?" Tian Xiwei turned to ask her.
"I'm so happy! Thank you for asking me to stay," Zhang Ruonan said with a smile.
She never imagined she could spend a whole day in Kyoto so carefree.
"Why thank me? You should thank Brother Lin Yu, he's the one who treated us." Tian Xiwei winked mischievously.
"No need for thanks. Just focus on making good films and earning more money for the company," Lin Yu said with a smile as he rowed his luxury boat.
"Brother Lin Yu, you're so realistic!" Tian Xiwei pouted and said.
The three of them burst into laughter.
In the evening, Lin Yu took the two girls out for roast duck.
Quanjude's roast duck is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Served with thin pancakes, sweet bean sauce, and cucumber strips, one bite is pure bliss.
Tian Xiwei ate a lot, completely disregarding her image.
Zhang Ruonan ate rather politely, taking small bites of the pancake as she rolled it up.
Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh as he watched the two girls eat in such different ways.
"Brother Lin Yu, what are you laughing at?" Zhang Ruonan asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just think you two are quite interesting. One of you looks like you haven't eaten for days, and the other looks like you're enjoying a Western meal," Lin Yu said truthfully.
"Brother Lin Yu, are you saying I eat badly?" Tian Xiwei rolled her eyes at Lin Yu and pouted.
"I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
"snort!"
Zhang Ruonan chuckled to herself, finding the way the two of them bickered particularly amusing.
After dinner, Lin Yu took them back to their hotel.
The next day, Lin Yu took them to other tourist attractions.
Two days passed quickly.
In front of the train station, Tian Xiwei held Zhang Ruonan's hand, her eyes slightly red.
"Ruonan, I will miss you."
"I'll miss your little Tian too." Zhang Ruonan's eyes also reddened.
"Let's keep in touch and chat more on WeChat."
"it is good."
The two girls hugged each other reluctantly.
Tian Xiwei turned to look at Lin Yu, her eyes still filled with tears.
"Brother Lin Yu, thank you for your hospitality these past two days. I'll miss you when I get back to Haicheng."
"Study your acting skills well, and call me anytime if you need anything," Lin Yu said, patting her on the shoulder.
"Yes!" Tian Xiwei nodded vigorously.
Zhang Ruonan also walked over and stood in front of Lin Yu.
"Brother Lin Yu, thank you." Her voice was soft, but sincere.
"You're welcome," Lin Yu said with a smile. "Go back to school and focus on your studies. We'll let you know when the company has any announcements."
"Okay." Zhang Ruonan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Brother Lin Yu, can we add each other on WeChat?"
"Of course, we've already added each other, haven't we?" Lin Yu took out his phone and opened WeChat.
Zhang Ruonan scanned the QR code and added him as a friend.
"Then I'm leaving, Brother Lin Yu."
"Bon Voyage."
Two girls dragged their suitcases into the waiting room.
Lin Yu stood outside, watching their backs until they disappeared into the crowd.
He turned and walked towards the parking lot, a sudden feeling of emptiness washing over him.
Having gotten used to the hustle and bustle these past few days, the sudden quiet feels a bit strange.
However, at that moment, her WeChat messages started buzzing incessantly.
Lin Yu was somewhat surprised!
Could it be that these two little girls can't bear to part with him?
However, he was stunned when he saw the message.
Meng Ziyi: "Kyoto has beautiful scenery. Enjoying your trip with two beauties must be pleasant. So it turns out even a busy person like you has time to go out for a stroll. No wonder I haven't heard from you all day. With such beautiful ladies by your side, you really don't have time to pay attention to others. No need to reply to messages, just enjoy yourself."
Bai Lu: "While everyone else is working hard on set, your little brother is secretly out shopping with beautiful girls in Kyoto, huh? No wonder he hasn't replied to my messages all day!"
Li Yitong: "I wanted to visit Kyoto before, but I didn't expect you to go with someone else first. I'm a little disappointed."
Lin Yu looked at the message.
The secret passage is broken!
The sisters' jealousy was practically overflowing from the screen.
