Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 51 A Boring Opening Ceremony

Back in her room, Nanxu checked her phone and saw that she only had a little over 10.2 million yuan in her bank account.

That ten million is enough for investment, but she also needs to spend money on daily expenses.

Prices in Yaocheng are not much lower than in the capital.

She could no longer ask Lin Jingshu for money, nor could she ask Lin Zhengyu, since Lin Zhengyu had already invested all his money in the company.

After thinking about it for a moment, she realized that only Lu Zhiyan could give her money, and it would be perfectly legitimate for him.

They set a "salary" of ten million per month from the very beginning. Nan Xu glanced at the time on her phone; it had been exactly one month.

Nan Xu opened her contacts and called Lu Zhiyan.

On the other side, Lu Zhiyan had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wearing a bathrobe and drying his hair with a towel in his hand.

The phone on the table rang. Lu Zhiyan strode forward, picked up the phone, and saw that the caller was Nan Xu. A smile appeared on his lips.

"So you still know to call me? Why didn't you call me when you landed?" Lu Zhiyan's gentle and steady voice revealed his dissatisfaction.

Nan Xu could hear the dissatisfaction in Lu Zhiyan's voice and guessed that he was angry because she hadn't called him after getting off the plane.

"I'll text you when I get off the plane," Nanxu said, sounding aggrieved.

Sang Tingwan paused before stepping into the bathroom, wondering if Nan Xu had been possessed.

The Nan Xu of today is completely different from the arrogant Nan Xu who was in the store just now.

Hearing Nan Xu's aggrieved words, Lu Zhiyan immediately softened his voice, "Alright, alright, it's my fault for not seeing it. Have you eaten yet?"

"Have you eaten? Have you eaten?" Nanxu asked sweetly.

"I've already eaten. I haven't had any appetite since you left. The house feels so empty." Lu Zhiyan said to Nan Xu in a coquettish tone.

Nan Xu's ears burned bright red; when did he learn to say such embarrassing things?

"Smooth-talking!" Nanxu whispered.

Lu Zhiyan was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "No, I really don't have much of an appetite today."

Seeing that Sang Tingwan had come out of the bathroom, Nan Xu opened the door and went out.

She doesn't like having a second person present when she's on the phone.

Sang Tingwan watched Nan Xu's departing figure, feeling a little lonely.

Her presence here won't affect Nanxu.

Sang Tingwan sighed and threw the towel in her hand onto the table beside her.

The two of them chatted on the phone for a while longer in the stairwell.

Nanxu then got straight to the point.

"When will the ten million arrive?" Nan Xu went to the stairwell next to the room to make the call.

Huh? Ten million?

He couldn't remember when he owed Nanxu money.

"Huh? What ten million?" Lu Zhiyan placed the towel on the sink.

The stairwell was quiet. Chen Yu happened to pass by and saw Nan Xu making a phone call through the half-open door.

I stopped and hid to listen.

"You forgot? Didn't we agree on ten million a month?" Nan Xu explained.

Ten million a month?

Chen Yu was taken aback; even being kept as a mistress was rare in the entertainment industry.

After the initial surprise, his eyes were filled with disdain. He had acted all high and mighty at the dinner table, but now he still had to find a sugar daddy to make money.
I really don't know what's there to pretend about.

Chen Yu snorted coldly and left in her high heels.

"Oh, I remember now. Send me your card number, and I'll transfer the money to you later." Lu Zhiyan suddenly remembered the agreement from a month ago.

Nanxu opened WeChat and sent the card number to Lu Zhiyan.

In just thirty seconds, the card showed that 15.2 million had been deposited.

Nan Xu felt a warm glow inside as she looked at the 5.2 million that had suddenly appeared in her bank account.

"Thanks!" Nan Xu said with a smile.

"What are you thanking me for?" Lu Zhiyan asked knowingly.

"What else could it be? It was five million two hundred thousand that was left over in the account at the time."

Lu Zhiyan chuckled, "Alright, you little money-grubber, I'd much rather you show some real action than just say those polite words."

Nanxu was perfectly clear about what the actual actions entailed.

"Okay, you're coming next Friday, right? Will you be satisfied?" Nan Xu said softly, her face flushed.

"Alright, you're at least sensible. It's getting late, you should get some rest." Lu Zhiyan glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table; it was almost ten o'clock.

"Okay, goodnight, see you Friday." Then she hung up the phone.

When Nan Xu returned to her room, the entire room was plunged into darkness, with only the small nightlights on either side of the bed remaining lit.

Sang Tingwan was already asleep.

Nanxu put her phone on the bed, gently opened the wardrobe, found a change of clothes, and went to the bathroom.

One second Nan Xu had just entered the bathroom, and the next second Sang Tingwan opened her eyes. Sang Tingwan threw back the covers, got out of bed, and sat on the chair next to her.

Twenty minutes later, Nanxu opened the bathroom door and saw a shadow reflected in front of it.

Nan Xu glanced suspiciously at the shadow and saw a disheveled woman sitting in a chair.

Nan Xu was startled, her voice trembling as she asked, "Who, who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Sang Tingwan said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Sister Nan, it's me."

I heard "Shadow" call out "Sister Nan".

Nan Xu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the light switch.

"Did I wake you up when I came back?" Nan Xu walked to the bedside and lifted the blanket.

Sang Tingwan picked up the contract on the table. "No, you weren't here just now. Director Zhang asked me to give you the contract."

As she spoke, Sang Tingwan walked to Nan Xu's bedside and handed her the contract.

Nan Xu took the contract and carefully read through it.

There were no problems, so I picked up the pen on the bedside table and signed my name on the contract.

"Alright, it's getting late, you should go to sleep too," Nan Xu said to Sang Tingwan, placing the contract on the table.

Sang Tingwan didn't say anything, she just nodded and turned off the light.

Just as Sang Tingwan was about to draw the curtains, Nan Xu called out to her.

"Don't draw the curtains!"

The curtains are so good at blocking out light that the room is completely dark if the lights aren't turned on.

She was almost scared to death by Sang Tingwan just now, and she didn't want to be scared to death by Sang Tingwan again tomorrow morning.

Upon hearing this, Sang Tingwan was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Okay."

Nan Xu turned her body to the side, her back to Sang Tingwan.

I spent three or four hours on a plane today, and I was also very unhappy tonight.

I fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, a gentle breeze blew and the sun shone brightly.

Sang Tingwan woke up very early.

The opening ceremony will begin at 10:00 AM.

Nan Xu slowly got up, glanced at the time on her phone, and saw it was already 8:30.

After getting ready to go to the film set, Nanxu washed up and randomly picked out a French-style blue bodycon dress from the closet.

At 9:30, Nan Xu and Sang Tingwan set off from the hotel to the film set. The journey took only ten minutes, and they arrived at the film set quickly.

Zhang San and Nan Xu exchanged a few casual pleasantries.

Nan Xu took out the contract from her bag and handed it to Zhang San. "I've already signed it. I'll transfer the money to your account later."

"Okay, thank you for your help," Zhang San said politely.

The two didn't talk much more. Nan Xu found the sunlight too bright, so she went to the back and found a shady spot to stay.

Chen Yu glanced disdainfully at Nan Xu, who was standing in the shade of a tree, and curled her lip.

Pretending to be aloof.

He got ten million through being kept by a sugar daddy, and he still acts all high and mighty.

Nan Xu caught Chen Yu's disdainful gaze, looked around, and realized that she was the only one standing there.

She was a little confused.

She didn't know that woman, so why was that woman looking at her like that?

Nan Xu pretended not to see it; she hadn't provoked her, so she didn't bother to get angry.

The opening ceremony lasted two hours, consisting of nothing more than the usual introductions of the producers, investors, thank-yous to the actors, and thank-yous to the staff...

Several performances were also arranged to liven up the atmosphere, much like a pep rally held in high school.

Nan Xu was fine, but the others were standing in the sun, and Nan Xu was scrolling through her phone out of boredom.

"Do you want to go up and say a few words?" The voice suddenly rang in Nan Xu's ear.

Nan Xu looked over upon hearing the sound and saw Zhang San.

Nan Xu waved her hand, frowning as she looked at the performance on stage. "Come on, I don't like these kinds of events. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

He then turned and walked away.

Zhang San stopped him, "Hey, don't go! We'll be eating soon. And filming officially starts this afternoon. Aren't you going to stay and watch?"

Nan Xu didn't even turn her head. "I'll come back this afternoon."

Zhang San watched Nan Xu's retreating figure, his hands behind his back like an old man, and continued watching the show on stage.

This kind of activity?

What kind of activity?

Isn't this great?
