The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 460: 181st annual feel-good article, Alian offers tickets (second update)_2
 

Zhang Mama’s house is just ahead.

Jiang Fulai walked a bit further ahead, blocking the sunlight, “Let’s go then.”

He accompanied Bai Lian there.

“Did you curse at He Wen today?” Bai Lian asked with her mobile phone in hand, a bit curious.

Jiang Fulai’s eyes were cold, and he answered casually, “If describing facts is considered cursing.”

From his tone, Bai Lian knew He Wen would be criticized again next week, so she changed the subject, “Are you going fishing with my grandpa tomorrow?”

Jiang Fulai had spent the whole week in the lab.

There were two days off for the weekend. Hearing about going fishing with Ji Heng, Bai Lian still wasn’t clear how the two had gotten in touch.

**

Zhang Family.

Mei Yi and his agent had already arrived.

The agent was a middle-aged man, slightly overweight. He looked around the Zhang family’s backyard and whispered to Mei Yi, “You’ve got a good eye.”

Mei Yi came to Xiangcheng to record a show with Yan Lu. His agent had disagreed at first.

Back then, the old storms of the book world were too intense and he didn’t want Mei Yi to get caught up in them. Who would have thought that under those circumstances, Yan Lu would not only make a comeback but also turn it into her own popularity.

These past few days, she had been the center of attention on various social media platforms.

The netizens even jokingly referred to it as the “Feel-Good Hit of the Year.”

Mei Yi, who was thirty, was dressed in a sporty outfit, looking handsome and poised.

Upon hearing that, he simply smiled and did not speak.

“However, this show’s main goal is to create opportunities with Yan Lu,” Mei Yi’s agent was also aware of Yan Lu’s personality, “Wang Xin said she’s dull and the show’s effect would probably be quite ordinary. Besides that one street, there’s nothing particularly interesting in Xiangcheng. Just take it as a vacation.”

Mei Yi and Yan Lu weren’t familiar with each other to begin with, and describing it as “ordinary” was already putting it mildly.

Cameras were being installed in the hall and Yan Lu’s room; they were starting to record the show tomorrow. The director of “Come Here Friend” was talking to Sister Xin, “Don’t worry, we’ll try to edit it to make it more interesting. But apart from Mei Yi, doesn’t Yan Lu have any other friends inside or outside the industry who can appear on camera?”

Next to them.

Ahuang and Xiaotian were helping clean the living room, and upon hearing this, thought of that group of students from Xiangcheng No.1 High School.

They did have friends, just not famous ones.

“I’ll ask, but they probably don’t want to be on camera,” Wang Xin said with a smile, somewhat wistfully, “She also has a few friends outside the industry.”

If Bai Lian were willing to appear on camera, the viewership would definitely be extraordinary, and then there was Jiang Fulai. Without mentioning anything else, just them showing their faces would basically outshine the current trending celebrities in terms of looks.

But to ask them to appear on camera?

Who could have that much clout?

“Alright then,” the director said, somewhat regretfully. He looked down at the program recording plan he had given to Yan Lu – shopping, moving flowers, selling flowers, studying…

There wasn’t anything fresh and eye-catching to show.

He really wanted Yan Lu to invite Dean Jian over; that would guarantee explosive ratings, but both Yan Lu and Wang Xin avoided the topic of Dean Jian.

Of course, the director was disappointed.

Zhang Mama had returned to her hometown the past two days, leaving the place to Yan Lu, who came out with a flower pot.

Speaking to Mei Yi.

“We’ll go shopping first tomorrow morning, then buy groceries in the afternoon to cook?” Mei Yi’s agent listened to Yan Lu’s lackluster plan without surprise, “Why don’t you invite a couple more friends over? Otherwise, it’ll be awkward having just you and Mei Yi eating alone.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Mainly because Mei Yi was a guy.

Yan Lu was about to reply.

Someone knocked at the door from outside.

She set down the flower pot and went to open the door.

Mei Yi and his agent both glanced toward the door.

Outside stood two people, a man and a woman. The girl, dressed in a loose school uniform, casually twirled a mobile phone in her hand, her almond eyes slightly squinted, looking very laid-back.

Her skin was exceptionally pale, her hair lazily held up behind her head with two wooden hairpins, backlighted by the glow of the evening sky, wearing no other adornments.

She seemed as though she were standing in a colorful comic book.

She slightly tilted her head to speak to the man beside her.

The man by her side wore a dark coat, looking cool and distant. His features were pleasing, but too aloof, with a strong presence that made it difficult for one to look directly at him.

“Miss Bai, Young Master Jiang,” Yan Lu opened the door, greeting the two in a soft voice.

In the living room, Sister Xin saw Jiang Fulai and Bai Lian outside, dropped the conversation with the director, and ran out to greet the two.

The director, seeing Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai for the first time, was taken aback by their appearance.

Having been around the entertainment circle for so long, such looks were rare, not to mention their charisma.

“Who are they?” the director asked Mei Yi.

Mei Yi’s gaze fell on Bai Lian, “They’re friends of Yan Lu.”

He had seen Bai Lian on set before, and everyone present was shocked by that sighting; seeing her once was unforgettable.

Mei Yi’s agent wasn’t much involved with filming and hadn’t met Bai Lian or Jiang Fulai. He asked, “Non-celebrity friends? Are they here to steal the spotlight or does Time Entertainment plan to debut them?”

With their looks, Time Entertainment would have struck gold.

If they were non-celebrities, he was ready to make an offer!

At the doorstep, Bai Lian didn’t seem to have any intention of coming in. She stood there, talking to Yan Lu, “You’re just going to buy groceries and cook tomorrow afternoon? Didn’t Sister Xin say that would be boring?”

Sister Xin, feeling helpless, deliberately lowered her voice, “The director said the same, but there’s nothing we can do about it, this is all we have here. Miss Bai, would you like to bring some of your classmates over tomorrow afternoon?”

Jiang Fulai, with one hand in his pocket, just stood by Bai Lian without speaking.

“No need,” Bai Lian shook her head, taking several tickets out of her uniform pocket and handing them to Yan Lu.

Bai Lian had heard that right now there were a lot of fans of the White Tank Top.

It was surely better than Yan Lu entertaining the viewers with book reading at home.

“What are these?” Yan Lu, unfamiliar with them, instinctively accepted the tickets.

Bai Lian curved her lips slightly, “You can go here tomorrow afternoon. These are tickets, and someone will meet you at the entrance to guide you. It shouldn’t be boring.”

Jiang Fulai glanced down—

It wouldn’t be boring, but it might randomly scare someone to death.
