Quite awkward

"That director is really too much. He has wasted several months of your time for nothing."

When Xiang Wei heard about what happened to Qi Yu, she was indignant and immediately wanted to find an acquaintance on her phone to help Qi Yu get justice. Unfortunately, she was not in the entertainment industry, but in the internet celebrity circle.

"It's impossible to get justice. I signed a contract before entering the training camp, which states that there is a possibility of role replacement during the training camp, so actors need to bear the risk themselves."

Xiang Wei paused holding the phone, shrugged his shoulders, and felt sorry for his friend.

"Qi Yu, do you really think that girl from the dance academy has no background? I just randomly searched her name online and found out that she's a second-generation celebrity. Her parents were famous in the 1990s, but later retired behind the scenes to open a film and television company, easily gaining the influence in the industry. So, ordinary people like us can't compete with capital."

Qi Yu nodded bitterly. The society really taught her lesson after lesson. She had already been tortured to the point of losing her temper before she even stepped into the entertainment industry.

Xiang Wei sincerely comforted him, "Qi Yu, don't think about it for now. Your bad luck will definitely rebound on that director."

"By the way, today is your birthday. I've prepared a gift for you and ordered a birthday cake. Let me celebrate with you."

Hearing this, Qi Yu rushed towards Wei and smiled gently: "Weiwei, thank you."

If Qi Yu had not had her good friends by her side and had to face all this alone, she would have been unable to find an outlet for her depressed emotions and could only bury herself in her quilt and cry.

But now, she didn't seem so sad after receiving her favorite gifts and seeing the exquisite and delicious cakes.

Perhaps the beginning of her 23rd birthday means a new life for her. She was not defeated and still wanted to face her future life with a positive attitude.

The bright yellow candlelight danced in front of his eyes. The moment Qi Yu closed his eyes, he seemed to hear a voice in his ears.

"Happy birthday, Yu."

The male voice is clean, clear and gentle.

This sentence has never been absent in the past ten years, but this year it was expressed in text.

At midnight today, she just learned about the news that her role had been replaced. She didn't have much energy to chat with Mu Yanqing, and in the end she just replied coldly with a thank you.

A few months ago, she changed her phone number to one in North City, which would make life in the new city more convenient.

After Mu Yanqing went abroad, he basically did not contact her by phone. Taking into account the time difference, he was worried that it would disturb her work and rest, so he usually left messages in the chat box, mostly expressing his concern as a brother.

He would tell Qi Yu not to go on a diet to lose weight, remind her to keep warm as the weather changes, and tell her not to stay up late and to get enough sleep.

Qi Yu practices dancing in the dance studio from 7 am to 8 pm every day and has no time to look at her phone.

When she returned to the dormitory, she was exhausted and all she wanted to do was wash up and go to bed, so she would often reply to Mu Yanqing's message every few days.

Of course, there was also an element of intentionality on her part.

She didn't want to reveal every detail of her life to Mu Yanqing. If she didn't respond actively, he would guess that she was busy and reduce the frequency of her messages.

-

Xiang Wei lives in her own house. She is usually alone and feels lonely. She also misses the time she spent in the dormitory, so she forces Qi Yu to stay here for a long time.

Qi Yu didn't hesitate. Living with her good friend was her best option at the moment, but she didn't want to live there for free, so she transferred half a year's rent to Xiang Wei.

There were no new dramas starting filming at the end of the year, and Qi Yu couldn't find a suitable crew to audition. Xiang Wei happened to have some time off recently, so the two girls stayed at home and lived a lazy life every day.

Xiang Wei's aunt Shen Xi suddenly asked her out for dinner, and she brought Qi Yu along.

Shen Xi is the producer of the popular dating variety show "Love in Summer". A female guest suddenly canceled her appearance before the recording of the show, so she asked Xiang Wei to take her place. Unexpectedly, she inadvertently made her niece famous.

The dinner was held at a private kitchen called "Ziyuezhai". The blue bricks and black tiles of the courtyard were decorated with low-key elements after years of precipitation, but they also revealed luxury. The average consumption per person was over 3,000 yuan.

Xiang Wei was eating at such a high-end restaurant for the first time. She teased, "Aunt, you're going to bleed a lot this time."

Shen Xi was very straightforward and said with a generous smile, "This is the property of the male guest on my next show. He personally cooked for us today. Xiang Wei, Qi Yu, you can eat your fill, but don't feel burdened."

Qi Yu chuckled and nodded.

“Well, I’m definitely full.”

When you enter the restaurant, you will find that the number of guests allowed is limited and there are only a few simple pearwood tables.

The three ladies were guided by the waiter to sit by the window. Looking out the window, they could see a small bridge and flowing water, a pleasant scene.

"Sister Xi!"

A thin and handsome man came trotting over with a smile. He was wearing a white shirt and a black apron that reached his knees. The apron had the words "Ziyue Zhai" printed on it. His overall temperament was warm and clean.

The person who came was Jiang Yuhuai, the male guest of Shen Xi's new program. He was a returned overseas master's degree holder. The Siheyuan was his family's ancestral home. The industry competition was fierce and the work pressure was extremely high before, so he simply returned to Beicheng and switched careers to become a chef.

Shen Xi nodded and smiled, and introduced the two young girls next to him.

"This is my niece Xiang Wei and her friend Qi Yu."

Xiang Wei and Qi Yu nodded politely to him.

"Hello, Boss Jiang."

Jiang Yuhuai kept smiling gently, his gaze lingering on Qi Yu's face for a few seconds, then he forced himself to come back to his senses and continue to maintain his enthusiastic attitude.

"You guys chat first, I'm going to cook. I'm sure it will suit your taste."

After he left, Xiang Wei rubbed Qi Yu's arm with his elbow and smiled meaningfully.

Just now when Jiang Yuhuai looked at Qi Yu, the surprise in his eyes was so obvious that it was hard not to notice.

To exaggerate a little, this might be love at first sight.

Qi Yu calmly pushed back with his elbow. It was better to be more restrained in front of elders.

Besides, this is in the other person's store. Don't talk nonsense. It would be so embarrassing if someone heard you.
