“You said that Bo Yu mistakenly drank the lemonade you were going to give Song Shilin. Now, can you tell me why you did that?”

However, when Qi Yan is complacent, Mo Anyu asks that all of a sudden.

Qi Yan’s expression immediately changes.

Mo Anyu stands up, picks up a new cup, pours the red wine, and shakes it slightly in his hand.

Qi Yan’s back is suddenly wet.

“I was almost deceived by you before. But it’s not too late to realize that right now. “Mo Anyu says coldly, “Who allows you to execute plan without my permission?”

Qi Yan counters subconsciously, “I can’t wait. As soon as I think that Bo Yu is also in Huacheng City and Song Shilin’s attitude towards Bo Yu is also uncertain... Mo Anyu, you are also responsible for that matter. Neither of us can shirk the responsibility for anything that is happening now!”

Mo Anyu stands up, looking at Qi Yan’s eyes and says, stressing each syllable, “I’ll give you another chance to take Song Shilin away from him at once. Don’t tell me you can’t do that!”

“I can’t do that.” Qi Yan is afraid of Mo Anyu’s eyes, but at the same time, he is also very clear that Mo Anyu’s orders can’t be completed for him at all.

Because Song Shilin has blown hot and cold on him. Even ten years ago, Song Shilin would never listen to him before he left Song Shilin.

“Then there is no idol star named Qi Yan in the world. There is only a humble person named Qi Yan.” Mo Anyu threatens him.

Qi Yan turns around, and his panic fades. There is a smile of victory appearing on his face with his back to Mo Anyu. He says in a cold voice, “When we achieve our goal, our cooperation relationship will be completely broken.”

Mo Anyu picks up the ball arm again and says, “of course.”

Qi Yan steps out of the private room.

“Bang.” A ball is gotten in the hole.

“Mom?” Song Shilin takes out his mobile and finds that the caller is Song Shilin’s mother. He answers.

Song Shilin’s mother says in a deep voice, “Are you still with Bo Yu?”

“We broke up a long time ago.” Song Shilin replies truthfully.

“Don’t deceive me!” Song Shilin’s mother is excited. “Little Qi Yan tells me that you don’t go back home and even buy a house next to Bo Yu’s. Now you tell me that you don’t have a relationship with Bo Yu?”

Qi Yan? Song Shilin’s eyes narrow.

“Bo Yu’s family is not innocent and decent. You can get involved with anyone except Bo Yu!” Song Shilin’s mother says sadly, “I’ve arranged a dinner for you. She is the daughter of Uncle Han. You must join the dinner by appointment this time!”

“Mom, there’s something in my company that I must deal with. I can’t leave.” Song Shilin says lightly.

Song Shilin’s mother says toughly, “OK. You may not join the dinner, but you must move away! “

“No.” Song Shilin refuses subconsciously.

Song Shilin’s mother sneers, “You haven’t broken up with Bo Yu!”

Song Shilin doesn’t continue to explain.

Song Shilin’s mother sneers, “It doesn’t matter how you did it before. But this time, you can’t be arbitrary. You must join the dinner tomorrow night and I’ll go to the company to pick you up. “

After saying that, Song Shilin’s mother doesn’t listen to his explanation and hangs up without hesitation.

Song Shilin frowns like a hill. For a long time, he stretches out his hand and presses the button with deep eyes and tightens up his lips. Nobody knows what he is thinking.

After Song Shilin hangs up, she smiles at Qi Yan beside her and says in surprise, “Little Qi Yan, why you look so pale, are you sick?”

Qi Yan stands up and wants to say goodbye in a hurry. He has never thought that Song Shilin’s mother would tell Song Shilin that it is he who informs against Song.

“Aunt Song, I have something else to do. So, I’ll go back first and see you next time.” Qi Yan stands up and says goodbye to her, looking pale.

Song Shilin’s mother frowns discontentedly and enjoins Qi Yan. Then, she praises Qi Yan for his understanding and thanks for telling her that Bo Yu is seducing her son again.

Qi Yan becomes more and more restless.

Song Shilin’s mother motions Qi Yan away.

Qi Yan breathes a sigh of relief and walks out of the coffee shop. When he just walks to the parking lot and is ready to open the car door, he is stopped by two bodyguards in casual clothes. “Mr. Qi, our boss has something to talk with you.”

Qi Yan looks at the place that the bodyguard tells him, trembling, and the key falls to the ground.

Bo Yu, sitting in the dressing room, reads the script on the iPad. There are three male stars in the room.

All four stars sit on different sides and they don’t communicate with each other.

That is the audition point of the ancient costume and Xianxia TV series named Three Thousand Disasters. The other three are now popular young stars who are not familiar with each other. In addition, all of them audition for the same role. Apart from the self-introduction when they just enter the door, they have no communication.

Bo Yu raises his eyes and quickly runs down two of them, smiling. Those two people often interact with each other on Weibo, and they declare that they are good brothers and partners when they attend the variety show together so as to hype.

But nobody knows that the pair of good friends even haven’t looked at each other incredibly for more than half an hour at the back of the fans and the camera.

But Bo Yu can understand them. After all, if one wants to earn money in entertainment, one has to keep commercial value and popularity. If there is no difference among them and others, nobody would ask them to act and be the spokesman.

But Bo Yu says in his heart, “Understanding doesn’t mean agreement.” Bo Yu drops his eyes and turns off the iPad, refreshing his spirit by closing his eyes.

The door of the closing room is opened.

The female assistant pops head out and says cautiously, “Begin to audition. The director and producer are waiting next door.”

While hearing that, four people stand up at the same time and walk toward the door.

―Three Thousand Disasters tells that the beautiful love between a pair of Xianxia master and apprentice. The female protagonist is Chu Wenwen, the most popular female star. And the male protagonist is selected from the four.

Chu Wenwen is quickly confirmed for the female protagonist because she has good acting skills and the director only hopes that the female protagonist should have the pure and innocent appearance.

The director’s requirements for female protagonist are not high, but for male protagonist are very high.

The male protagonist is the leader of Xianmen with a fresh and innocent temperament. Because of the ancient Chinese Kong Fu, the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures have been eliminated for a long time, so he has no desire, no sorrow and no joy in his heart.

Therefore, the male protagonist’s mood can only be expressed in the eyes, and there can’t be any expression on his face.

To be honest, the role is a great test of the actor’s ability.

Bo Yu is the third to audition. The order is not bad, but very stressful.

Liu Yang, the first one to audition looks gloomy. Soon, he begins to quickly adjust his mental attitude.

―If the first person performs well, he will not only get the appreciation and satisfaction of the director, but also make the actor behind him stressful, thus having trouble being himself in acting.

Liu Yang indifferently looks at the girl in front of him. “I don’t take any apprentices.”

The girl just says a sentence. But Liu Yang looks more indifferent, “There is no need for saying more, Zhu Ya will not take any apprentices in my whole life.”

After saying that, Liu Yang shakes his hands as if he is the immortal gentleman in the bamboo forest, and says indifferently, “Go back, don’t come here again.”

For a while, Liu Yang stops acting his cold expression and bows to the director, producer and writer who sit in the chair.

The director sneers, “The male protagonist named Zhu Ya shouldn’t be angry. You perform too much.”

Liu Yang feels unhappy, but he is afraid of the identity of the director. So, he doesn’t dare to speak much, and sits on the side with the angry expression.

The second actor has thought that Liu Yang performs very well and he has no chance. But when hearing that, he immediately looks very happy and comes over to act.

The second actor looks sunny with a brilliant smile. His acting skills are good after coming into the acting state. However, the director says that his acting leaves much to be desired.

Bo Yu feels a little stressed.

He fancies for the characters of two TV series before, one being the prince of the conquered country and the other being this. He isn’t elected as the prince of the conquered country. So, if he fails to be chosen again, he will be disappointed and can’t account for Lao Zhang.

Besides, after acting in The Young General, he needs to act in a better TV series to transform his public image and let the more audiences remember him.

The male protagonist of that TV series is the best transformation opportunity for him at present.

Bo Yu takes a deep breath and stands up.

*

Bo Yu enjoys the great advantages in appearance. And his cold and elegant temperament makes him look like an ethereal faerie.

―Bo Yu stands with his hands clasped behind his back with the indifferent eyes, as if nothing can disturb that immortal gentleman.

“Please take me as your apprentice......” In a trance, the pure girl looks at the man standing with his hands clasped behind his back with tearful eyes.

“I don’t take any apprentices. There is need for you to say again.” Bo Yu slightly sides his head with his black hair blocking his eyes, raises his chin with the calm expression.

“Go back, don’t come here again.”

His fingertips slightly touch the ground, and thousands of bamboo leaves fly, being formed into a vortex. That looks extremely terrible from afar.

Around the bamboo forest, the pure girl leaves with tearful eyes, leaving only her invisible pretty image.

The writer looks at Bo Yu without blinking, and unconsciously grabs the corner of his clothes with his fingers.

The captious director is finally satisfied, but he doesn’t rush to make a decision, saying: “Very good, very good. Next one. “

Bo Yu returns to his position and sits down. After a while, he calms down and waits for the acting of the fourth actor.

There is a cold sweat on the fourth actor’s forehead. He is under great pressure as the last one, especially watching Bo Yu’s excellent acting skills, and he is disturbed at all.

So, his acting is not satisfying because of his bad state. After his performance, the director’s expression, which eases down before, suddenly cools down, snorts and says, “OK, that’s all.”

The director, the writer and the producer stand up and walk to the cubicle.

There are four of them leaving in the audition room.

For a while, the producer comes out and says with a gentle face, “You’ve worked hard. That’s all for today. You just go back first, and we will inform you the result after our discussion.”

After saying that, the producer may be really busy, and he leaves in a hurry.

Bo Yu glances at his watch and stands up to leave first. What he can do has been done. Next, it depends on his fortune.

Liu Yang has sharp eyes, cottoning up with Bo Yu and says, “Bo Ge, it’s still early. How about going to have hot pot tonight?”

Not good. Bo Yu refuses in his heart.

After two years of abstinence, he finally has opportunities to have sex. If he lives a night life without lust again, it is a disaster for him!

It is understandable that Bo Yu, who has been abstinent for a long time, finds that there is a small acne on his forehead this morning, looking so upset.

Although he is the actor who actually has acting skills, but his handsome face is also the key to raise his popularity.

“I’ve been tried to lose weight recently. Let’s forget that.” Bo Yu takes the mask from Xiao Zhang and puts it on.

Liu Yang is stunned at first, and then says, “Well, that’s all right.” Although he agrees with Bo Yu in words, Liu Yang is annoyed at Bo Yu’s ignorance in his heart.

Bo Yu doesn’t realize Liu Yang’s embarrassment because of rejection. He casually fiddles with his mobile phone, nods and says, “I’ll go back first. When you are free, I’ll treat you next time.”

After saying that, Bo Yu raises his feet and walks towards the nanny car parked not far away.

Liu Yang rigidly raises his hand and waves to Bo Yu’s back.

Xiao Zhang takes a look at Liu Yang with the eyes of inquiry and laughter.

Liu Yang snorts coldly. He doesn’t dare to give Bo Yu a cold face, but there is no need for him to fawn on an assistant in a hurry.

Xiao Zhang looks stiff and leaves.

“Bo Ge, your mobile just rang, and I don’t dare to answer.” Xiao Zhang sits in the front seat, hesitates for a moment and says.

Bo Yu frowns, takes the mobile that Xiao Zhang hands to him, and suddenly stays in silence at the sight of the name that appears in the list of missed call.

After a while, Xiao Zhang finds that Bo Yu’s forehead is covered with sweat. Suddenly, he wonders who called Bo Yu.
