Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

Lin Bufan originally thought that when Yang Mi said "see you later", she meant meeting at 8 o'clock for dinner, but he didn't expect that what Yang Mi meant by "see you later" was actually just "see you later"!

After a quick wash, Lin Bufan was about to play an exciting game of King of Glory with Sang Biao when there was a knock on the door!

Lin Bufan opened the door and saw Yang Mi standing there, raising an eyebrow. She was wearing a black lace slip dress with a light silk cardigan. Her clavicle and slender neck looked particularly attractive under the warm yellow light of the corridor.

Sure enough, this woman is still thinking about her beauty and is trying to seduce her!

Wait—isn’t this the wrong time?

Shouldn't we have dinner tonight? Isn't it a bit hasty to come here now?

Confused about the situation, Lin Bufan could only ask, "Sister Mi, what are you doing..."

Yang Mi curled her red lips slightly and shook the red wine bottle in her hand: "I said, see you later! What, is it inconvenient for me to come in?"

At this moment, Sang Biao's impatient "woof" sound came from the room, obviously urging Lin Bufan to go back and continue the game.

"Oh, Brother Biao is here too?" Yang Mi's eyes lit up, and without waiting for Lin Bufan's response, she squeezed into the room sideways, her high heels making a slight sound on the carpet.

She quickly walked to the sofa, squatted down and looked Sang Biao in the eye: "Brother Biao, I am your fan! I also follow your Douyin account. Whenever I have free time during filming, I often watch your live broadcast!

You're much more popular than me now, and you have more fans than me. Looking at all those fans who came to greet you at the airport today, I thought it was some top star!"

Yang Mi's tone was full of admiration, which made Sang Biao very happy. However, Sang Biao did not show his arrogance, but just calmly typed two words on his phone: [Low Profile]

Seeing Sang Biao's pretentious appearance, Lin Bufan suddenly remembered the previous unpleasantness, so he immediately exposed him: "Sister Mi, don't be fooled by him. Those fans are all hired by him."

Yang Mi's hand that was caressing Sang Biao suddenly stopped, and she looked up in shock: "Ah? Hired?"

Having his past exposed, Sang Biao immediately went berserk, barking at Lin Bufan a few times before quickly using his claws to pull out his phone and typing: [Lin Bufan's fans are hired too! He hired more than me!]

Yang Mi's eyes flickered back and forth between the phone screen and Lin Bufan, her expression shifting from shock to disbelief: "Your fans... are hired too?"

Lin Bufan didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said as if it was a matter of course, "Isn't it yours?"

When Yang Mi heard this, she felt as if her dignity had been insulted and immediately became anxious: "Nonsense! My fans are all real fans!" She straightened her back and raised her voice an octave: "Every time we pick up the airport and support them, it's all organized by the fans themselves!"

However, under the meaningful gazes of Lin Bufan and Sang Biao, Yang Mi's voice gradually became quieter: "Okay... sometimes the company will arrange some professional fans to liven up the atmosphere..."

Yang Mi's fingers twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously, but she still forced herself to say, "But this is normal! It's like this in the circle. If there is no organization, if there is any trouble, the stars will have to take the blame themselves..."

The room fell silent for a moment, with only two people and a dog staring at each other silently!

Yang Mi felt uncomfortable being stared at by the man and the dog, so she raised the bottle of red wine in her hand and whispered, "Well...how about we have a drink first? 82 Lafite!"

Lin Bufan raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully, "Sister Mi, I saw a short video and they said the 82 Lafite was already finished!"

"Oh, I get the point. You're talking about '82 or '83, as if you can tell the difference!" Yang Mi was already busy looking for a bottle opener: "Come on, let's drink and have fun!"

Because of Yang Mi's joining, the originally thrilling two-person game, ah, a game between one person and a dog, became a game between two people and a dog.

The two of them and the dog were drinking and playing like this. When Director Wang knocked on the door, they had already finished the bottle of red wine. Although they had finished the bottle of red wine, the two of them and the dog did not seem drunk at all!

Inside the banquet hall, crystal chandeliers illuminated the entire space with a splendid aura. Director Liu, Director Wang, the longed-for Director Chen, Teacher He, and Teacher Huang had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Lin Bufan and his group enter, everyone immediately stood up to greet them.

Director Wang stepped forward with a beaming smile and introduced enthusiastically, "Mr. Lin, this is Director Chen, the chief director of our show 'Yearning.' The show's popularity is entirely due to his creativity and control."

Director Chen, a middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses, waved his hand quickly upon hearing this. "Director Wang, you're too kind." Director Chen stepped forward and shook Lin Bufan's hand, saying sincerely, "Mr. Lin, I've long heard of you! It's truly an honor to have you on our show!"

Lin Bufan smiled and replied, "Director Chen, you're too polite. I should be the one thanking the production team for inviting me."

Director Wang then pointed to a middle-aged man who looked quite youthful and said, "This is Mr. He, the mainstay of our station and an evergreen in the hosting industry!"

Teacher He extended his hand towards Lin Bufan and said with a friendly smile, "Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm a big fan of yours! The last time I watched the live broadcast of your mecha launch conference, I was so shocked that I couldn't sleep all night."

Lin Bufan shook hands with him: "Teacher He, come to think of it, I am also your fan. I grew up watching your show when I was a kid."

Teacher He laughed out loud when he heard this: "Boss Lin's words make me feel old!"

Director Wang then introduced the next person: "This is Mr. Huang, another core member of our program. He's an amazing cook. You must try his cooking tomorrow!"

Teacher Huang also extended his hand towards Lin Bufan. Although there was a smile on his face, he didn't give off the same enthusiasm as Director Chen and Teacher He. He seemed a bit arrogant. "Hello, Mr. Lin! I heard you like cooking too? Let's have a competition sometime!"

"I won't show off my mediocre skills!" Lin Bufan was very humble!

Want to learn from each other? Are you kidding me? I'm here to eat, drink and have fun with this little sister. How can I have time to cook for you?

Yang Mi interjected, "Teacher Huang is an amazing cook. You're in for a treat, Lin!"

Teacher Huang looked at Yang Mi and said kindly, "Mi Mi, here you are! Last time you said you wanted to learn how to make that steamed fish dish, so this is a good time to teach you."

Director Liu called out at the right moment, "Everyone, please stop standing. Let's eat and chat! Come, Mr. Lin, please take a seat!"

Everyone took their seats one by one, and the exquisite dishes soon filled the turntable. Teacher He took the initiative to pour tea for Lin Bufan, while Teacher Huang introduced the characteristics of each dish.

After three rounds of drinks, Director Chen raised his glass and said, "Mr. Lin, I toast you! Thank you for your support of our program."

Lin Bufan clinked his glasses together and said, "Director Chen, you're too polite. I should really thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Director Liu smiled and said, "Mr. Lin is too modest. With your current fame, it's an honor for us to have you on our show!"

Yang Mi blinked and jokingly said, "Director Liu, what you said, isn't it an honor for me to be here?"

Everyone laughed at this, and the atmosphere became even more lively. Director Chen also mentioned the filming schedule for tomorrow at the right time. The table was filled with laughter and conversation, and before they knew it, it was already late.

After the banquet, everyone exchanged greetings and said goodbye. Lin Bufan and Yang Mi returned to the 18th floor together. As for Sang Biao, who had no interest in human social activities, he had already left!

Lin Bufan had just finished showering and changed into his pajamas when the doorbell rang. He opened the door and saw Yang Mi standing there, already dressed in comfortable home clothes, her hair tied loosely back.

When Lin Bufan saw that it was Yang Mi, he quickly pulled her into the house and said anxiously, "Sister Mi, you're finally here! You're the only one missing from our Three Musketeers. That bastard Sang Biao can't wait!"

"I didn't come here to play games." Yang Mi rolled her eyes speechlessly. What kind of person is this? I'm such a delicate and beautiful woman, and I come to see you in the middle of the night, and you just want to play games, right? If you want to play anything else, I'll look down on you!

"Not playing games?" Lin Bufan was stunned for a moment, his eyes gradually becoming uneasy. He looked up and down at Yang Mi's home outfit: "Then... what to play?"

Yang Mi picked up the pillow and threw it at Lin Bufan: "Put away those dirty thoughts of yours, I want to talk to you about something."

Seeing that Yang Mi finally couldn't help herself, Lin Bufan opened a bottle of mineral water for her and sat down next to her: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Yang Mi stared at Lin Bufan for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled. "Actually, I don't need to tell you. You probably understand my purpose, right?"

Lin Bufan's expression suddenly turned serious. After taking a deep breath, he said seriously, "Sister Mi, although I am a very lustful person, I am also a person of principle. You haven't divorced yet, so it's not good for us to be like this."

Yang Mi was confused: "What do you mean?"

"Sister Mi, stop pretending," Lin Bufan sighed. "You dragged me into the car and came here so late. Aren't you just after my beauty?"

"Lin Bufan!" Yang Mi was furious and once again picked up the pillow on the sofa and hit Lin Bufan: "Can you be more serious!"

The pillow hit Lin Bufan's face, and he fell onto the sofa with an exaggerated "ouch".

Yang Mi's chest heaved with anger. "Although you're indeed pretty and my type, I'm no longer the same person I was back then! I gave you a chance back then, but you didn't take it. Now, don't even think about it! And I'm still after your beauty. How can you be so naive?"

Lin Bufan half showed his face from behind the pillow and heaved a sigh of relief. "So it's not... Then what on earth are you doing here so late, Sister Mi?"

Yang Mi took a deep breath and calmed down: "It's about the bet."

Lin Bufan didn't say anything, just gestured to Yang Mi to continue!

"My company signed a bet agreement with Shangshi. Net profit must reach 3.1 million within three years, otherwise our company will repurchase shares at an annual interest rate of 15%."

Yang Mi raised her head, a rare look of vulnerability in her eyes. "It's been over a year now, and we're still about 2 million short. If we lose... I'll have to work to pay off the debt for the rest of my life."

Looking at Yang Mi's pitiful appearance, Lin Bufan just wanted to say, who said her acting skills were bad? Her acting skills were amazing! It's just that some of her acting skills were inconvenient to show!

Lin Bufan raised his eyebrows and motioned Yang Mi to continue.

"Our company is preparing a new drama, 'Eternal Love, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.' I predict it will be a hit, but the initial investment is too huge for our company to handle. If you can invest and share the profits after the show airs, not only will it help me win my bet, but you'll also make a killing."

Yang Mi leaned closer to Lin Bufan, her red lips almost touching his earlobe: "And... I can agree to one condition of yours, anything is fine."

"Let's talk about work. Don't keep seducing me. You know I have no resistance to this!" As he spoke, Lin Bufan had already reached out and pushed Yang Mi's head away!

Yang Mi couldn't help but blush. If it wasn't considered an old face, then her small face would blush: "Who seduced you? Shameless!"

To get rid of the awkwardness, Yang Mi immediately put on a serious face and said fiercely, "I've said everything I need to say. Are you interested in investing? Just give me the straight answer!"

Based on past experience, Eternal Love is indeed a good investment project. Yang Mi also completed the bet precisely because of the huge success of this drama. If this drama flopped, Yang Mi would probably have to live like Zhang Guoli, working to pay off debts!

Although he knew that the drama would make money and there would be other investors even without him, Lin Bufan was not in a hurry. After all, our Mr. Lin was no longer at the age where he liked money, and he was not interested in money!

Lin Bufan leaned back on the sofa, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest. "Sister Mi, with your connections and influence, can't you get investment? Why do you have to come to me?"

Yang Mi shrugged and said calmly, "Because you're easy to talk to, I can make more money from you and be more confident in completing the bet agreement."

Listening to Yang Mi's overly straightforward words, Lin Bufan couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Sister Mi, although I really don't like beating around the bush, aren't you being a little too straightforward?"

Ignoring Lin Bufan's complaints, Yang Mi continued, "Brother Lin, we've known each other for so many years, so I'll be frank. I came to participate in "Longing" this time just for you."

Coming for me?!

Wasn't it me who came here for you?

I rely on!

These bastards from the program crew are playing both sides!

“In fact, before we approached you, we had already contacted several investors, including Huace, Juku, Penguin and others who were interested in cooperating.

But their conditions are quite demanding, either demanding exclusive copyright, or intervening in casting, or even requiring additional clauses that I must participate in their designated repertoires.

The neon lights outside the window shone through the French windows, casting shifting shadows on Yang Mi's delicate profile. At this moment, she suddenly turned and looked directly into Lin Bufan's eyes: "Just when I was in trouble, I received a call from the 'Longing' production team. They said you had to come to participate in the recording."

Yang Mi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "I saw that you made a fortune, so I came here to try my luck."
