AMBTMS Chapter 46

What kind of luck was this?!

Shen Yu held his forehead. It would have been fine if they had just met Li Shu, but they happened to encounter Li Shu and others, and all under such circumstances.

Just now, Mo Yanzhi was still angry about the online criticism of Li Shu. He was worried that Li Shu would be upset about the scolding, only to suddenly see Li Shu chatting and laughing with others, seemingly unaffected.

Shen Yu pulled his friend’s arm and whispered, “Don’t be impulsive.”

He knew Mo Yanzhi quite well. Just by looking at his expression, he knew he was about to cause trouble. These days, under his gentle persuasion and hard work, he had roughly understood what had happened between his friend and Li Shu, and could only sigh at how unpredictable fate could be.

With such a beginning, it’s no wonder his friend was somewhat timid in his actions. At the same time, he also understood Li Shu’s position in his friend’s heart. If he didn’t really care for him, given his friend’s personality, their interactions wouldn’t be like this.

As domineering as Mo Yanzhi was, he would have directly bound him with a contract.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu couldn’t help but marvel. He never imagined that his friend would have such a day.

Indeed, when one’s heart is unmoved, everything is calm, but once it stirs, it sets off a storm.

As if sensing something, Li Shu, who was talking to Wei Yangyun, turned around.

Under the dim light, the dim yellow glow shone on the fair face, like a fleeting shadow, piercing straight into the heart.

With Li Shu’s movement, the other two also turned around. One was an old employee of Mo Lan, and the other came from an extraordinary background, so both recognized the newcomers’ identities.

Seeing that they had been noticed, Shen Yu simply pulled Mo Yanzhi over.

1314 looked at the several people gathered together and wailed. It even wondered if its host had triggered some strange mechanism after coming to this world. How did he repeatedly end up in such shura fields ? Last time it was the protagonist gong and the protagonist shou, and this time it’s the protagonist gong and the supporting characters. What about next time?

1314 had a premonition that such situations would definitely not be the last.

It glanced at Mo Yanzhi, who was angry but trying to restrain himself, and couldn’t help but light a candle for him.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two parties prepared to part. After all, they were not from the same circle. Ming Xuan and Wei Yangyun were quite self-aware and didn’t plan to disturb too much.

“Let’s go together.”

Just as Li Shu and the others were about to leave, Mo Yanzhi suddenly spoke up.

All eyes turned to him, and Mo Yanzhi calmly accepted their gazes. Shen Yu looked at Li Shu, who was standing beside Mo Yanzhi, and suddenly understood.

“Since we’ve met, let’s go together.”

Both Ming Xuan and Wei Yangyun were somewhat shocked but couldn’t hide their excitement. Given their current status, it wasn’t enough to dine with Mo Yanzhi and Shen Yu, especially Ming Xuan.

He was an artist of Mo Lan, and although he was now in the top tier, Mo Lan had numerous stars, and he was just one of them.

Moreover, they also had a newcomer with them. If they could take this opportunity to make an impression in the eyes of the big boss, there would always be many benefits.

Wei Yangyun also considered this point, and both sides quickly reached an agreement and found a larger private room.

Li Shu and the others walked a little behind. Wei Yangyun quietly chatted with Li Shu, avoiding Shen Yu and Mo Yanzhi, and talked about some entertaining stories in the entertainment industry.

The waiter led them to the private room. As they sat down, Mo Yanzhi silently sat beside Li Shu and handed him the menu.

“Is there anything you want to eat?”

Ming Xuan, who was about to walk to sit on the other side of Li Shu, paused and quietly sat next to Wei Yangyun.

Seeing Mo Yanzhi quietly asking Li Shu what he wanted to eat, Ming Xuan frowned slightly, feeling that something was off.

This feeling peaked during the meal.

Wei Yangyun was restless by nature. He often came here and was familiar with the place. When Shen Yu handed him the menu, he didn’t hesitate to order the famous signature dishes and kept chatting with Li Shu in a low voice while waiting for the dishes.

Shen Yu was also good at chatting and quickly joined their conversation.

Mo Yanzhi didn’t speak, only occasionally glanced at Li Shu with various emotions in his eyes. Li Shu pretended not to notice and calmly talked to the others.

Wei Yangyun was oblivious, Shen Yu saw through but didn’t reveal, pretending not to know. Only Ming Xuan accidentally saw the way Mo Yanzhi looked at Li Shu and his heart skipped a beat.

‘Such a look…’

The dishes were quickly served. The waiters brought them in an Orderly manner and arranged them one by one before exiting.

“Li Shu, this is the ‘Yue Longmen’ I mentioned before, the most famous dish here. You must try it. And this, ‘Nine Star Pearls,’ is my favorite dish. Although it’s not as famous as ‘Yue Longmen,’ the taste is really good.”

Wei Yangyun used serving chopsticks to pick up food for Li Shu. Li Shu didn’t refuse and smiled as he ate the fish in his bowl.

Wei Yangyun was enthusiastic but not overly so, maintaining a proper degree so as not to annoy anyone. Taking into account the other two people at the table, he restrained his behavior much more than usual.

But even with this restraint, Mo Yanzhi was very unhappy. Whenever Wei Yangyun got closer to Li Shu, Mo Yanzhi would glance at him with cold eyes, which made Wei Yangyun wonder if the air conditioning was broken.

Seeing Wei Yangyun approaching Li Shu again, Mo Yanzhi couldn’t help it and picked some “Yue Longmen” for Li Shu. He remembered that Li Shu had eaten this dish the most.

Li Shu was talking to Wei Yangyun when he suddenly saw a piece of fish in his bowl. He raised his eyes and saw Mo Yanzhi retracting his hand as if nothing had happened.

Moving his chopsticks, Li Shu picked up the fish under the slightly nervous gaze of the other person and ate it.

Mo Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, while Li Shu and Wei Yangyun were talking, he put another piece into Li Shu’s bowl.

Li Shu glanced at him silently and ate the fish in the bowl.

At this point, things got out of hand. Throughout the meal, Mo Yanzhi only casually ate a few bites himself, spending most of the time feeding Li Shu. Even Wei Yangyun, who was usually oblivious, noticed that something was wrong.

Who was Mo Yanzhi? He was the head of the Mo Group, with an extremely prestigious status.

And who was Li Shu? Just a small star outside the 18th line who had just started his career.

At the dining table, it was actually Mo Yanzhi who took care of Li Shu the whole time. Who would believe it if it was said? If it weren’t for seeing it with their own eyes, they would have scolded whoever said such words for having a malfunctioning brain.

Wei Yangyun was a direct person. After thinking it over, he couldn’t resist sending a text message to Li Shu.

Wei Yangyun: [Shu Shu, have you and President Mo from the Mo Group…known each other before?]

He asked tactfully, and Li Shu immediately understood his implication.

Li Shu: [We’ve met once by accident.]

Li Shu didn’t specify what kind of accident it was, and Wei Yangyun didn’t inquire further, but skipped over the topic.

Wei Yangyun: [About the promotion I mentioned to you before, I tried it after I came back, and it did work better than before. By the way, I’m preparing for a new album soon. Are you interested in making a guest appearance?]

Wei Yangyun: [Come on, come on, come on.]

Wei Yangyun: [It’s settled then.]

Li Shu: [Are you even asking me? You’ve made the decision for me.]

Wei Yangyun: [I was afraid you wouldn’t agree. I’ll send the invitation to your agent later. You promised me, don’t go back on your word.]

The two chatted for a few more sentences, mostly about music-related matters. The original owner was quite talent, when Song Guxin initially planned to focus on training him, he enrolled him in a music class. Later, the original owner never gave up on music and continued to learn on his own.

Wei Yangyun acted quickly, and the next day at noon, Qin Ran informed Li Shu of the good news.

Qin Ran was also surprised. Wei Yangyun’s recent momentum was strong. If he could cooperate with him once, it would be immeasurable benefit for Li Shu.

During the few days of free time, Qin Ran brought the complete script of “Seeking the Sword” and asked Li Shu to familiarize himself with it as much as possible so he could participate in the audition.

The audition was scheduled two days before the official recording of “I’m Not a Star.” Li Shu spent these days holed up in the dormitory reading the script. It wasn’t very convenient to live in a dormitory, so Li Shu planned to find a time to move out. He had already started looking for a house.

The original owner lived in the dormitory because he wanted to save money to send home and was reluctant to spend. Now that Li Shu had replaced him, he would definitely still send money to the original owner’s parents, but he didn’t plan to stay here.

Li Shu told Qin Ran about finding a new house, and Qin Ran said he would keep an eye out for him. An artist’s place of residence had to be considered comprehensively, especially in terms of security and privacy, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

After having dinner together that day, Mo Yanzhi occasionally called Li Shu and sent more messages, once in the morning and once in the evening without fail.

1314 had been worried all along that Mo Yanzhi would do the things as in the original plot. It knew its host’s temperament. If Mo Yanzhi really did those things, it would definitely not end well as in the original plot.

Fortunately, the things it was worried about never happened. Mo Yanzhi had been behaving properly and cautiously, not daring to touch the host’s bottom line. Just when he was about to relax and thought there wouldn’t be any big moves next, the appearance of a contract directly stunned it.

On Friday, Qin Ran suddenly had something to do and sent the location to Li Shu, asking him and the newly recruited assistant to go to the “Seeking the Sword” crew for an audition.

The plot of “Seeking the Sword” revolved around the protagonist’s team of five looking for a lost ancient sword. Because it was a web drama with a small budget, most of the actors were newcomers with not much fame.

Li Shu was auditioning alone, and his spot was considered confirmed. As long as he passed the director’s test, he could join the crew directly. However, something went wrong in between.

After they arrived at the destination, the director personally came to pick him up and took him to a separate resting area, looking apologetic as he said, “I’m really sorry… the role we promised you before has already been filled by someone else. Look, why don’t you play Wu Xing? No need to audition. You can come straight to filming when the time comes.”

“What do you mean by that?” The assistant was a newcomer, and he was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this. It was agreed earlier that Li Shu would play the role, so what’s the matter with the last-minute replacement?

Upon hearing this, the director looked embarrassed. He couldn’t just say it was because an investor wanted to promote a newcomer. This drama was his painstaking effort, and he didn’t want it to be wasted in vain. However, one always had to yield to reality. Without money, he couldn’t even start filming.

He didn’t want to offend Qin Ran’s people, so he could only hint vaguely, “The funding for the crew is insufficient…”

“I understand,” someone wanted to bring in funds for the crew. Li Shu stopped the assistant who was still trying to argue. “Since that’s the case, then…”

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the lounge was forcefully pushed open, and a tall man stood at the door, speaking in a deep voice, “How much money does the crew need? I’ll invest.”
