Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

"Mi'er, I had a lot of fun spending time alone with you today, and I'm looking forward to having more time alone with you tomorrow."

Jiang Yi spoke to He Mier with a sincere attitude.

He Mi'er returned his friendly smile, waiting for Tan Wen to speak first. Tan Wen sighed and said, "Come with me to Xiangjiang City tomorrow. It's important business, and I need your help."

He Mi'er blinked: "So you're inviting me to team up?"

"No." It would be a huge loss for Tan Wen to take the initiative in inviting someone, so he shook his head and said, "I'm waiting for you to invite me."

Have you turned down any invitations from others before?

"That's not important."

"He rejected me," Lu Yuxiao suddenly said in a teasing tone.

Gu Beiyu's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this Tan Wen must be a master. Fortunately, there was no competition between them. However, the person he had invited had been rejected by someone else before, which made him somewhat unhappy and also gave him a bad impression of Tan Wen.

Jiang Yi felt that his 1.93-meter height now seemed somewhat transparent.

"Okay then, can I invite you to join my team?" He Mi'er asked.

"I'd be happy to, but it'll be hard for you to get up early tomorrow."

[I accepted He Mi'er's invitation to a date.]

[Rewards: 3 high-level performance props, 1 top-level performance prop, 3 high-level singing props, 4 songs]

After receiving the reward, Tan Wen did not check it immediately. He patted Jiang Yi on the shoulder and nodded in a friendly manner.

Then he leaned against the wall, showing no intention of going back to his room.

Lu Yuxiao knew Tan Wen was paying attention to his choice, and his expression became somewhat unnatural. But in what capacity was Tan Wen paying attention? The one who had just rejected him? Hmph!

Lu Yu bit her lower lip and asked Gu Beiyu, "Weren't you supposed to be meeting Chunzi alone tonight? Why did you invite me?"

Just as Gu Beiyu was about to say that he actually wanted to understand her better, Liu Haochun appeared at the end of the corridor. Seeing several people gathered there, she shrugged and went back inside.

Gu Beiyu cleared his throat slightly awkwardly, "I just arrived and wanted to get to know both of you. I'm very serious about relationships."

Lu Yu glanced at Tan Wen and said, "Okay, then let's get to know each other better tomorrow."

She emphasized the words "good" very much.

Gu Beiyu keenly noticed Lu Yuxiao's gaze, his brows furrowing slightly, his impression of Tan Wen growing increasingly worse.

"Mi'er, see you on the balcony." Tan Wen said, then went back to his room and closed the door.

He quickly booked train tickets for He Mier on the balcony, giving her no chance to refuse.

"What are you going to the Xiang River for tomorrow?"

I'll explain in detail on the high-speed train.

"So, what kind of help do you want me to do?"

"I don't need your help."

"Then you just said..."

"I just want you to stay with me."

"..." He Mi'er felt relieved. "I find dating you tiring, it's so much running around."

"Isn't it quite interesting?"

"Then you should book the hotel first." He Mi'er still found it hard to believe that she had been so bold back then, thinking about the last time they were alone in a room.

"No need, I can go and come back on the same day."

Why are you rushing back so urgently? Last time you rushed back in the early hours of the morning. He Mi'er doesn't know why he's in such a hurry.

······

After settling the ticket issue, he started checking the rewards.

The rewards this time are a little different from the previous ones.

First, he received a trial card for a top-tier performance prop, which was valid for 24 hours. He was curious about what the top-tier performance would be like and was looking forward to it.

Then, advanced performance props and advanced singing props have appeared before, but this time the experience time for the props is no longer 24 hours, but 48 hours.

He compiled a list of all his current awards:

Top-tier performance props *1 (24 hours)

高阶表演道具*4（48小时*3）（24小时*1）

高阶唱功道具*4（48小时*3）（24小时*1）

Piano Level 10 Item *1 (24 hours)

Music*11 (including one piano piece.)

These props are enough for the "Actors Take Their Places" platform for now.

······

At five o'clock in the morning, Tan Wen finished washing up and was about to call He Mi'er when, surprisingly, He Mi'er was already ready.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't wake Xiaoxiao," He Mier said casually.

Tan Wen glanced into her room and noticed that the sheets had been moved.

"Did she sleep in your room last night?"

"Yeah, she's in a bad mood and insists I hold her while she sleeps."

"I'm in a bad mood right now..."

On the high-speed train, He Mi'er was sleeping soundly with her head tilted to the side and her mouth slightly open, just like last time. Tan Wen had to hold her head up again and again to prevent her from slumping down and waking up suddenly.

Around 2 PM, the two arrived at the XX Building in Kaifu District, Xiangjiang City.

Tan Wen had already explained the purpose of this trip to He Mi'er in detail, and He Mi'er joked:

"If you want to act, I can invest in making you the male lead, but you have to accept my unspoken rules."

The words "unspoken rules" stung Tan Wen; it was precisely because he refused to accept them that his career stagnated.

Tan Wen tapped He Mi'er on the head, and He Mi'er winced in pain, giving him a questioning look.

Tan Wen snorted, offered no explanation, and walked into the building.

"Domestic abuser," He Mi'er muttered, and quickly followed.

The time was set for 3 p.m., and it would be impolite to arrive an hour early, so the two of them ordered a coffee in the lobby and waited quietly.

Tan Wen is familiarizing herself with the materials for "Actors Take Their Places" so that she won't be asked about anything other than acting skills during the interview.

At 2:30, Tan Wen greeted He Mi'er and went upstairs alone. Just as he entered the elevator, a girl called out, "Wait a minute."

Tan Wen pressed the open button.

"Thank you," the girl said, panting.

"Zhou Ye?" Tan Wen was surprised to find that the girl was his junior. The two were a year apart and had no contact at school. He only knew about her through the role of a bullying girl played by Zhou Ye.

Seeing that this person recognized her, Zhou Ye tilted her head back and curiously sized up Tan Wen. He was somewhat handsome, and she vaguely remembered him. Suddenly, she lightly jumped up and down: "Are you that very talented bad boy?"

"Don't be so disrespectful, I'm your senior." Tan Wen rolled his eyes.

Zhou Ye was a little excited, "I saw you on social media a couple of days ago, I didn't expect to run into you today, what a coincidence!"

Tan Wen smiled politely.

Zhou Ye suddenly moved closer to Tan Wen, her eyes darting around, and asked furtively, "There's no one around now, so tell me who you like? I promise I won't tell anyone."

Tan Wen looked at her genuinely curious expression and didn't know what to say.

"Are you here for an audition for 'The Actor'?"

Seeing that he had changed the subject, Zhou Ye, whose curiosity had not been satisfied, pouted unhappily: "Yeah."

"Me too. It seems we'll be in a lot of contact in the future. Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Tan Wen, and I'm your senior."

Tan Wen extended his hand.

Seeing his serious demeanor, which was quite different from what she saw online and unlike the negative comments, Zhou Ye also extended her hand formally: "Zhou Ye! Hello, senior."

The two exited the elevator and walked together toward conference room 707.

Upon arriving at the conference room door, I found four people inside tidying up the documents on the table, preparing to leave.

Tan Wen knocked on the open glass door: "Hello, I'm Tan Wen. I've arranged to come for an interview today."

"I'm Zhou Ye, hello everyone."

The group looked up but didn't say anything.

Tan Wen and Zhou Ye had no choice but to wait for them to pack up. After they finished packing, they left the conference room together, where a middle-aged man stopped in front of them.

"I'm Seung-young, the talent coordinator, and I'm in charge of this audition."

Tan Wen and Zhou Ye shook hands with him.

"Well, the number of actors is already full, so the auditions are over." Cheng Ying patted Zhou Ye on the shoulder. "I'll apply to reimburse your travel expenses. Thank you for making the trip."

After saying that, he nodded to Tan Wen and turned to leave.

Zhou Ye stood there, somewhat at a loss, and cast a helpless glance at Tan Wen.

Tan Wen patted her head reassuringly, smiling on the surface, but his heart was cold.

"So...we're just going back like this?"

Tan Wen scoffed, "How could that be!"
