She wanted to roll her eyes and walk away, but after reconsidering, she held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, Yu Yanli had never shown any ambiguous behavior; it was she who had imagined too much, ignoring his true feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he’d always just seen her as a friend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he saw her as a friend, and even offered to stand up for her against suitors, then her showing up to ask “what do you want?” would naturally make him think she needed help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was asking her for a favor, and she was throwing a tantrum over nothing, wouldn’t that be unreasonable—and terribly unfriendly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After internal struggle, Qin Lan convinced herself, and her tone softened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, what do you need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush—I won’t let you help for free. Let’s eat first—I’ll treat you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli understood the principle: if you want the horse to run, you must feed it first. He gave carrots and apples to his racehorse—how much more so when asking Qin Lan for help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, did you bring enough money? I’m picky about food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yu Yanli was treating her, Qin Lan’s mood improved slightly, and she immediately started planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was willing to help, but that didn’t erase her resentment—using this favor to treat herself to a meal would be sweet revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem—order whatever you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli was generous—he knew he had to be prepared to spend when asking for a favor. A meal was nothing he couldn’t afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’re so generous, I won’t hold back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite her loud boasts, when choosing the restaurant, she picked the same place they’d been to before—only adding two more expensive dishes and upgrading the drinks and alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this your idea of ‘not holding back’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli watched Qin Lan busy washing cups and chopsticks, feeling helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her earlier lion-like demands had made him think they’d go to a city hotel for abalone and lobster—he’d nearly prepared to survive on meal boxes from the film crew for all three meals a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not stupid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Lan sniffed: “How much can you spend in Hengdian? If I’m going to squeeze you, I’ll do it back in Beijing. This meal is just interest—when we get back to Beijing, you owe me a proper dinner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli realized this girl was tough-talking but soft-hearted—even if he treated her to several meals back in Beijing, she’d never spend four digits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, what do you need help with?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Lan asked curiously. Yu Yanli smiled warmly and helped her serve food and pour wine: “No rush—let’s finish eating first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His behavior made Qin Lan uneasy—was she being lured into something? She put down her chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me now. I’ll eat after.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli looked slightly embarrassed: “Actually, it’s nothing big—there’s a scene I’m unsure about, and I’d like you to help me rehearse, to get the feeling right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, that’s all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Lan sighed in relief—she’d thought it was something huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their last conversation, she knew this was Yu Yanli’s first major role; lacking experience and confidence was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d been through it herself—during the filming of “My Fair Princess 3,” she’d often rehearsed privately with acquaintances, so she understood his mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Easy—I’ll help you. I’ll make sure you nail it perfectly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Lan spoke with the air of a senior mentoring a newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, she’d only acted in two or three dramas, mostly minor roles, while Yu Yanli had spent a year on sets and trained extensively at Beijing Film Academy—neither clearly had more acting experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was the one asking for help, she’d let him flatter her—even his calling her “sister” went unchallenged as he smiled and kept serving her food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, thank you so much—I’m counting on you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, they returned to the grove, found a secluded spot with no one around, perfect for rehearsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli handed Qin Lan the script to review; she took it and skimmed through briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Lan had read less than a minute of the script when she looked up at Yu Yanli five times—her expression shifted from confidence to confusion, then to utter bewilderment, her pretty face now grimacing at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I still back out now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli politely shook his head—joking, he’d already paid for the meal, and now she wanted to run?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Requesting reads and monthly votes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-06-19T16:16:52.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0c6d1c7fca4ba02fc505e2388ef4ee4d3c6c5c38526796a46ba6b06ba02dbf1b","the-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-chapter-15","the-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-chapter-13",405,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-cover.jpg"]
