Chapter 1015: Do You Know a Big Star?
"You know Lu Ruxue?" A trace of joy appeared in Zhang Yanxi's eyes: "She is my favorite star. Her acting is truly amazing. You, can you help introduce me to her?"
"Forget it, you silly girl. This man is just bragging. Look at him; he looks like a migrant worker. Would he know a star of that level? He's just trying to pick you up and find a topic to talk about." Lili, standing to the side, said with a look of mockery: "I've seen too many men like this; you can find a handful of them on the subway."
"Still think you're very humorous? Heh, people like this really don't know what their status actually is," Lili sneered.
"Sure, let's exchange contact information. I'll contact you when I return to Shengjing later," Chen Yu said, taking out his phone.
"Look, the routine has started. I knew he would ask for your phone number or WeChat," Lili said, looking as if she had Chen Yu figured out. She sneered: "There are really too many men like this."
"Alright, Lili." Zhang Yanxi took out her phone and exchanged WeChat with Chen Yu: "Then thank you. I will definitely contact you later."
"You're really adding him? Are you stupid?" Lili was practically furious: "When will you change this personality of yours? Don't take everything people say seriously. Adding a man like this on WeChat has no value at all."
"Lili, I don't think Brother Chen is that kind of person. He might really know Lu Ruxue," Zhang Yanxi said with a smile.
"Fine, then let me ask you: you say you know Lu Ruxue, show me some proof." Lili turned her head to look at Chen Yu: "If you can produce proof, I'll believe you."
"What kind of proof do you want?" Chen Yu glanced at this woman sideways; he felt that she was truly too self-righteous.
"Any proof will do, as long as you can directly prove that you know Lu Ruxue," Lili said with a look of mockery: "If you can bring it out, I'll believe you."
"Alright then, I'll give her a call now," Chen Yu said.
"A phone call won't do. Who knows if you've used this routine often before? I know a player who just brags about knowing big stars and colludes with his friends to put on an act when making calls," Lili said with a look of disdain.
"Oh, then I'll send a video call," Chen Yu said: "But at this hour she should be filming. I don't know if it's convenient for her to answer, but I'll try."
"Then go ahead and send a video call. I don't believe you really know her," Lili sneered.
Chen Yu didn't waste words; he took out his phone and initiated a video call request to Lu Ruxue directly.
The video rang for a long time, but the other party didn't answer. She should be filming right now.
"Heh, answer it. Let the other party answer," Lili looked at Chen Yu with a sneer. Judging by her expression, she was going to force Chen Yu to reveal his true colors.
"I'll try again." Chen Yu calmly picked up his phone and initiated a video call to Lu Ruxue again. This time, the video rang a few times before Lu Ruxue picked up.
"Chen Yu, what made you think of calling me? Are you not in Shengjing right now?" Lu Ruxue was lying on a chair while a makeup artist was designing her hairstyle. The drama she was filming was a major period piece, so it took a long time to do her makeup every day.
"I went to the border for something. I happened to meet a young girl from the film academy, and I said I knew you, but she didn't believe me," Chen Yu laughed: "So I'm calling to confirm."
"Giggle, if you say you know me, others definitely won't believe it. Just let her see; that'll do. I'll say hello to them," Lu Ruxue laughed.
"Look, she answered." Chen Yu turned the phone around to face the two girls.
"Ah, ah, ah! It really is Lu Ruxue! It's real! She's in the makeup tent! I... this is my first time being this close to her. She's my idol! Ah, is this real?" Zhang Yanxi leaned in to look, her face turning red with excitement.
The Lu Ruxue in the makeup tent couldn't be fake. She sat up straight and waved at Zhang Yanxi: "Hi, hello, I'm a friend of Chen Yu."
"Sister Lu, I... my name is Zhang Yanxi, and I'm in the acting department at the film academy. I love your acting so much. You are simply my idol. I... can I learn from you?" Zhang Yanxi asked excitedly.
"Sure, come find me in Shengjing anytime. I can recommend a few entertainment companies for you," Lu Ruxue smiled: "Let's add each other on WeChat and we can stay in touch."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Sister. I'm so happy," Zhang Yanxi nodded excitedly: "I'll come find you after I return from Ji City. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Anyone introduced by Chen Yu must be great," Lu Ruxue waved at Zhang Yanxi.
Just then, a bearded director walked in: "Miss Lu, we need to pick up the pace here."
"Alright, I won't talk anymore. Goodbye," Lu Ruxue waved.
After hanging up, Zhang Yanxi still hadn't come to her senses. She pinched her own thigh and winced in pain: "It's real, this is real. I really saw Lu Ruxue, and that bearded man just now was the famous director Zhang Feng."
Lili, standing to the side, was already dumbfounded. The Lu Ruxue in the video was definitely the real person, and looking at how Chen Yu and Lu Ruxue interacted, the two of them must be very close. Yet, she couldn't believe that this Chen Yu, who looked so ordinary, actually knew Lu Ruxue.
"Lili, it's real! He really knows Lu Ruxue, and she invited me to Shengjing! She's going to recommend entertainment companies to me!" Zhang Yanxi shook Lili excitedly.
"You... you really know Lu Ruxue?" Lili still looked at Chen Yu in disbelief.
"You saw it just now, it wasn't fake, was it?" Chen Yu glanced at her.
"How is this possible... She's a top-tier star," Lili struggled to lift her head to look at Chen Yu. She really couldn't believe that Chen Yu actually knew such a big star.
Chen Yu smiled and couldn't be bothered to argue with her. The facts were right there; whether she believed it or not was up to her.
"Yanxi, stop being so happy. For Lu Ruxue to reach that level, she must be smooth in her speech. Maybe she was just doing it to be polite," Lili looked at the excited Yanxi, feeling a bit jealous, and poured a bucket of cold water on her.
"Is... is that so?" Yanxi was stunned, the joy on her face gradually fading.
"I'll push her WeChat to you. She'll add you when she's done," Chen Yu said.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Chen," Yanxi nodded quickly.
"Hmph, just an ordinary person," Lili still looked disdainful: "My boyfriend's master is a Wizard in Ji City. He possesses power that ordinary people cannot understand and can communicate with heaven and earth through himself."
"And he knows Magic. This kind of power is what we should be pursuing. With this kind of power, isn't it easy to climb to the top?" Lili started bragging about her boyfriend again.
