Chapter 970: Everything Is a Landmine

Shen Li took the water Sister Xiaoyun handed her and looked at Li Haojie: "You think Teacher Xie's lines just now weren't smooth?"

"Yeah, not smooth, not as good as what you said." Li Haojie blurted out the flattery without hesitation, even though he hadn't paid much attention to that old man just now, focusing entirely on Shen Li the whole time.

But Shen Li believed it. After all, a bystander sees clearly. Although she was Teacher Xie's opponent, when she was immersed in her own situation and role, it was inevitable that she would be a bit forgetful.

Plus, Teacher Xie said that the scene just now wasn't smooth, so maybe there really was a problem with the script's lines.

Polishing lines took a lot of time, and she didn't like entering and withdrawing from a role repeatedly in a short time, so she felt like going back to the lounge to rest and adjust.

"Shen Li, after you finish work tonight, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

This sentence wasn't a question, but a statement.

Li Haojie looked at Shen Li with an excited expression: "You're not familiar with Ji'an, right? Our barbecue here is very famous and delicious. I know a treasure shop that you will definitely like. I'll take you there after work!"

Judging by his tone, it seemed he hadn't given Shen Li any room to choose at all, already assuming Shen Li was going with him.

For this kind of aggressive and disrespectful personality, Shen Li had already accumulated obvious impatience, but she still politely found an excuse to decline: "Today is all my scenes, and the first scene was delayed because of the lines. I guess it will be very late when I finish work, and I'll be very tired by then, so I won't go."

The expression on Li Haojie's face stiffened, and he blinked in slight shock.

It seemed he hadn't expected Shen Li to refuse him at all.

And after a few short contacts, Shen Li had also figured out some of Li Haojie's personality.

Self-centered, domineering, inconsiderate of others' feelings, and completely disrespectful to women.

Every single bad trait hit her landmines precisely. For this kind of person, she didn't even have the desire to be ordinary friends.

So, not wanting to be pestered further, Shen Li hurriedly pulled Sister Xiaoyun away.

"Is this person toxic?"

As soon as they walked away, Sister Xiaoyun couldn't help but complain: "It's like the whole world has to revolve around him, and everyone has to listen to him. He doesn't even ask others and just makes decisions for them."

Shen Li smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter, just ignore him."

"A-Li, I specifically checked. This Li Haojie is only twenty-five this year. Just the female celebrities he's dated that can be found online are seven or eight. Although they aren't very popular, they are names you can call out." Sister Xiaoyun looked puzzled: "You say these celebrities don't earn little, right? They definitely aren't short of money, so why would they date this kind of man with no class?"

"It's not like a bag or a necklace could blind them, right?"

Sister Xiaoyun asked earnestly; she really couldn't figure it out.

And the question she was asking now was once a confusion in Shen Li's heart. Every time she saw those beautiful and famous female celebrities dating and marrying some ugly men with scandals all over the sky, she didn't understand either.

Later, it was Chu He who told her that many women who yearn for marriage have a "wealthy family dream." This dream isn't limited by status; ordinary women dream it, and female celebrities do too.

And wealthy businessmen and wealthy families are another higher class for many female celebrities without backgrounds. People want to climb up; this is desire and also human nature.

So Li Haojie thinks he can use luxury brands to get female celebrities to date him because he simply disdains wasting energy on these female celebrities, so he won't delve into their thoughts.

In reality, these female celebrities aren't lacking any jewelry or bags; they want to marry into a wealthy family. Li Haojie's actions let them see an opportunity.

Of course, their ideas about Li Haojie fell through in the end, but if there were another such opportunity, they would still want to grab it.

Sister Xiaoyun was instantly enlightened by Shen Li's words: "That's really true. Many very famous female celebrities seem to have married into various wealthy families in the end; it seems I haven't heard of many female celebrities marrying ordinary people."

"What about you? Have you ever had a wealthy family dream?" Shen Li smiled and teased Sister Xiaoyun.

Sister Xiaoyun blushed and nodded without denying it: "Of course. When I watched idol dramas before, I fantasized that I could also marry that kind of handsome and wealthy man. I think what you just said is right; girls have all had this thought."

Speaking of this, she pouted again: "But although the ideal is plump, the reality is skinny. I see that not many of the rich men these female celebrities find are handsome; not many, it's almost none!"

This is the truth.

That's why rich second-generation heirs with good looks like Li Haojie are easier to succeed.

"A-Li!"

Just as the two were discussing, a voice suddenly called her name not far away.

Shen Li looked up and saw Song Anyu, surrounded by his team, waving at her not far away.

The boy in the morning light was still dazzling. No matter when she saw Song Anyu, Shen Li still objectively admitted his handsomeness.

"A-Li, it's Song Anyu!" Sister Xiaoyun, this CP fan, was even more excited than Shen Li.

Old friends meeting, the smile on Shen Li's face widened, and she walked toward Song Anyu.

"I mentioned you this morning, remembering you were joining the crew today." Shen Li walked up and greeted him actively: "Where did you come from?"

"From Yanshan. I just finished filming the last play and joined this crew back-to-back," Song Anyu said, his eyes fixed on Shen Li's face as he spoke.

It was different from two years ago when they first collaborated. Shen Li's changes were very obvious. When she first entered the industry, she was very introverted in private and didn't dare to look directly into others' eyes when talking.

But as soon as she entered the play, she became another person. Her contrast and talent were the highlights that attracted Song Anyu the most back then.

Now Shen Li was obviously much more extroverted and more at ease in environments outside of filming, but it didn't reduce her charm at all.

To this day, even now, when Song Anyu saw her again, his heartbeat would still accelerate slightly.

He still liked Shen Li.

"I told Anyu that there are no scenes for him these few days, they are all your scenes, and told him to go back and rest for a few days. He wouldn't listen and insisted on coming over directly," the assistant on the side couldn't help but speak up.

Song Anyu's face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly explained: "It's too much of a toss-up to go back and forth, and it's easier to get tired. I thought I'd join the crew first; I can rest in the crew and watch you film, and find the feeling in advance."

Shen Li nodded with a smile, looking at the members of Song Anyu's team each carrying bags, and urged softly: "You guys hurry up and put your things down first, and then have a good rest."

Song Anyu hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Where is your lounge?" ===== CHAPTER 971 =====
