"Me? An acting coach?"

In the bar, upon hearing Yoona's absurd suggestion, Lin Xiuyuan pointed to himself, looking incredulous, "Yoona-ssi, are you crazy? You want me to give you acting coaching and teach you how to act like a man?"

Upon hearing this, Sunny burst out laughing.

If this is indeed the case, then the person in front of me probably does have some experience.

Faced with Lin Xiuyuan's astonishment, Lin Yoona naturally pulled out Jessica Jung as a shield, "Jessica unnie said that you have a way to help me."

"It's her again."

Lin Xiuyuan took a deep breath, feeling a bit of a headache. "Yoona-ssi, do you think if I kick her out of the membership, this matter will no longer be my concern?"

Lim Yoona didn't reply, but just stared at him for a few moments with her bright, doe-like eyes, then pursed her lips and remained silent.

Lin Xiuyuan was speechless at her little expression, so he simply got up and took out his phone. "You guys sit for a while, I'm going to go chat with Jessica Jung."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the tavern and dialed a phone number outside.

The door slowly closed, and only then did Sunny have the mood and time to properly examine the pub's decor.

Although the place is not big, the interior decoration is quite exquisite and has a good atmosphere, showing that the effort put into it is evident.

So she exclaimed, "This place is nice, Yoona. We can come and sit here sometime. No one will bother us. It's great."

"Unnie, you've really thought about it. Didn't you hear what that guy just said? He's going to kick Jessica unnie out of the membership."

At this point, Lim Yoona smiled and said, "This is a members-only bar. You basically can't get in without a member's help. Did you see that lock at the front door? It uses iris and fingerprint recognition, very high-tech."

Sunny was stunned and couldn't help but shrink her neck. "Oh no, he's not really going to kick Soo-yeon out, is he?"

"Probably not," said Yoona.

Then the two of them turned their gaze toward the doorway, both wanting to know how Lin Xiuyuan and Zheng Xiuyan's conversation had progressed.

At the same time, they were also using their connections to find out who actually wrote the script for "The Heirs" and whether Lin Xiuyuan was just fooling them.

At this moment, under the streetlights outside the door, Lin Xiuyuan leaned against a utility pole, his phone pressed to his ear.

"Hey, Jessica Jung, are you crazy? How am I supposed to give acting advice to Yoona? Are you out of your mind?"

On the other end of the phone, Jessica Jung didn't care what he said at all; she only focused on one point.

That is, "Why are you yelling so loudly? Are you trying to scare me?"

Lin Xiuyuan looked completely bewildered: ? ? ?
Lin Xiuyuan was dumbfounded by these words.

He swore, he swore on his own penis, that he absolutely did not speak loudly or yell at her.

The tone was just a little bit too strong, but only a little bit, and it even had a hint of a smile.

This is clearly a joke, not a threat.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you know you're wrong?"

Jessica Jung continued speaking, adding a few hums before slowly responding to the main point, "I did tell Yoona I wanted to have an 'acting coaching' course with you, but I didn't say it necessarily had to be you teaching, did I?"

"Then who else could it be besides me?" Lin Xiuyuan didn't react for a moment.

"Besides you, there's also Krystal."

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this.

After a moment's thought, he stared at the passersby and fell into a brief silence.

After a long pause, she finally replied, "Ah, I understand. You're such a clever girl, Jessica Jung. You even came up with this idea. But I have another question: are you sure Lin Dajun can teach him?"

That last sentence was a double entendre, but Jessica Jung understood the implication.

"It's not like we're filming a movie, just an idol drama, it should be enough. Never mind, I'll come over tonight and we'll talk then. Don't wander off today, okay?"

"OK, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiuyuan stood there pondering for a long time.

While thinking about the suggestion Jessica Jung had just made, he also thought about the 'Blue Dragon Film Award winner' he had met just last night.

Then, looking at the entrance of the pub, holding up the picture of Lin Yoona inside, he compared her to the 'Best Actress' and imagined the scene of the two "teaching each other from afar," and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

So here's the problem: meeting in person is impossible, but how can we teach without meeting in person?

As he pondered, Lin Xiuyuan slipped away to the snack shop next door and bought a grilled sausage, packed two to go, and started thinking as he ate.

So when he returned to the tavern, Yoona and Sunny were greeted by him with a grilled sausage in his mouth, and they were both stunned for a moment.

"Oh, weren't you going to call your unnie?"

When asked by Lin Yoona, Lin Xiuyuan nodded, "Yeah, I bought a grilled sausage after I finished playing. Oh, and I packed some for you guys too."

As he spoke, he placed the bag he was carrying on the coffee table and then sat down.

"Thank you, but no thanks, we don't like this kind of food."

As soon as Yoona finished speaking, Sunny glanced at the sausages in the bag with a hint of regret.

She really wanted to eat it, but safety comes first when you're traveling.

"Hmm, it's okay, I just wasn't full."

Lin Xiuyuan took another one, took a bite, and looked at Lin Yoona. "Um, I can indeed arrange the 'acting coaching' you mentioned, but I need to clarify a few things with you first."

"What's the problem?" Yoona asked. "It's that the instructor might not be able to show their face. So you can list out some of your weaknesses or problems in acting, and I'll pass that on to them and record an online course video for you to watch and explain."

As Lin Xiuyuan finished speaking, Lin Yoona was pondering the questions he had raised when she suddenly noticed someone tugging at her clothes.

Turning her head, she saw Sunny nod slightly, indicating that she could agree.

In Sunny's view, as long as Jessica Jung vouches for it, this matter is unlikely to be a trap, and the only remaining question is whether to accept or reject it.

Since it's not a scam, why not give it a try?

No matter how high the purity of the ingredients in this guide is, let's wait until we get it before making any decisions.

With Sunny's support, Yoona nodded and said, "Okay."

"Oh, I forgot to mention, there's one more thing: this online course can only be viewed here, not taken out of the pub."

Feeling that something was amiss, Lin Xiuyuan added another item.

Safety first, safety first.

This made Yoona hesitate for a moment, but she still nodded in agreement, "Okay, whatever you say."

At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan had finished eating the second sausage, threw away the skewer, and was about to take the last one.

But a small hand snatched it away faster than he could.

Looking up, Sunny couldn't stand watching Lin Xiuyuan eat so happily, so she snatched it away.

Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything, but simply said again, "Then there's only one last question left."

A few veins inexplicably popped out on Lim Yoona's forehead, and her right hand clenched into a fist under the table. "Mr. Lim, could you please state your request all at once?"

"This is the last one." Lin Xiuyuan smiled.

"You said."

"You have to pay more."

Before those three words could even make Yoona laugh in anger, Sunny next to her suddenly jolted and looked down at the sausage in her hand.

He thought to himself: Could it be because I stole one of his sausages that they want me to pay more?

Fortunately, Lin Xiuyuan quickly provided a supplementary explanation: "If you need this after-sales service, then you'll have to pay extra."

Indeed, ten million to bring out the future 'Azure Dragon Film Queen' does seem rather stingy.

We need to add some money, at least the equipment and manpower for recording online classes, so that Lin Yoona can bear some of the costs.

Across from her, Yoona, who had been clenching her fists, slowly loosened them and stared at Lin Xiuyuan for a few seconds.

Seeing his calm demeanor and peaceful tone, as if he didn't see anything wrong with the request, she ultimately chose to trust him.

"That's fine, how much extra would you like to add?"

"It's charged per class hour, ten million per class. If you take the first class and feel it's ineffective, you can get a refund, and you won't need to pay for subsequent classes."

This sounds like a well-thought-out plan, and the pricing was straightforward and decisive.

So Yoona didn't hesitate any longer and nodded, "Okay, so it's a total of twenty million, right? How do we pay?"

"Pay by credit card or online banking, whichever is more convenient for you."

Just a few minutes later, seeing the 20 million yuan deposited into his account, Lin Xiuyuan got up and went to the bar. He got a piece of paper and a pen for Lin Yun'er and handed it to her, saying, "Here, you can write down the problems now, and then wait for my notification."

"Could you provide even a single clue about this script?"

At this moment, Sunny, who had finished eating the grilled sausage, asked a question.

She wasn't actually looking for topics to talk about; she had just contacted a bunch of TV stations, but none of them had heard of any plans to register the show, so she was naturally curious.

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at her indifferently and casually uttered a name, "Kim Eun-sook."

Upon hearing the name of this award-winning screenwriter, Yoona and Sunny exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with shock and delight.

Kim Eun-sook – the creator of hit Korean dramas such as "Lovers in Paris," "Lovers in Prague," and "Secret Garden."

A script written by her is practically a guarantee of both high ratings and buzz, even if the title is yet to be determined.

So now the key question is: can Lim Yoona snag that role?

Realizing this, Lin Yoona immediately finished writing down the questions at hand, then stood up, pulled Sunny along, bowed solemnly to Lin Xiuyuan, thanked him, and hurriedly left the bar.

She was in such a hurry to leave that she wanted to get back to the company and talk to her agent and upper management as soon as possible.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Lim Yoona is very clear about the rules of the game when it comes to vying for roles; it all comes down to speed.

Ideally, the roles would be decided before the script is even finalized.

Otherwise, once the script is published, we won't even have the right to drink the soup.

As for Lin Xiuyuan, who stayed at the tavern, he looked at the 20 million in his account and thought about the 10 million he had earned that morning, totaling 30 million.

That's roughly equivalent to 15 RMB for girls.

He counted on his fingers as he fell into deep thought.

With this pace of making money, am I starting out like a "super rich male protagonist" in a fantasy novel?
