Huayu: After meeting Aunt Liu, the host blocked the door.

Chapter 25 Don't misunderstand, I earn my living through hard work.

Liu Yifei had just finished her work; she was exhausted after filming all morning. Seeing her mother going to prepare the vegetables, she quickly took out her phone and made a call, "Chen Wenbo, has lunch been served yet?"

"Most of our crew has finished eating. Why is the Legend of Sword and Fairy series having dinner so late today?"

"There was a scene with a lot of extras this morning, and it took a long time to film. I'm exhausted."

"Why are you calling me instead of resting properly? Is something wrong?"

"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

Chen Wenbo chuckled and said, "No, I was in Changchang's car and didn't want to disturb her rest."

Liu Yifei was startled. "Ah, what were you doing in Changchang's car?"

"Of course I'm resting. Changchang was probably worried I'd have nowhere to go, so she let me sit in her car."

Liu Yifei was furious. "You're not allowed to stay in Changchang's car. She's only 16. If someone sees you, it will affect her."

Chen Wenbo walked into the lounge, found a chair, and sat down. "Changchang isn't worried about being affected, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm just worried about Changchang. You didn't forget what you promised me tonight, did you?"

Chen Wenbo recalled what he had promised the girl and laughed angrily, "I really only earned 50 yuan today."

Liu Yifei wasn't about to let the opportunity slip by. "I really only need 30 yuan worth of food. I'm not picky."

"Okay, okay, but I'm worried you might still have to rush to finish your work tonight, right?"

"It's okay, you can come to the film set here after you finish work. I can accept being treated here."

Chen Wenbo readily agreed, "No problem, I'll go after I finish work here."

See you tonight.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei noticed that her mother hadn't returned yet, so she immediately called her best friend.

"You brat, how could you let Chen Wenbo into your car? You're the female lead, if outsiders see this and it gets out you'll be on the news."

Shu Chang dismissed her assistant and shifted to a more comfortable position. "What are you afraid of? There are window stickers on the glass, so no one outside can see."

"We're best friends. Handsome men are all womanizers. Didn't you say Chen Wenbo had dinner with that Yan Danchen? Don't be fooled."

Shu Chang knew exactly what her best friend was thinking. "Even ugly women can be fickle, let alone that old woman who took the initiative to seduce Chen Wenbo."

Liu Yifei was furious. "Think about it, he's only been on set for one day and he's already getting involved with women. What will he be like in the future? Changchang, you're still young. Listen to me, don't associate with Chen Wenbo anymore."

Shu Chang stretched. "Really? Then what did you mean by calling Chen Wenbo just now?"

"I……"

Liu Yifei was speechless, it was infuriating.

Shu Chang laughed and said, "What's wrong, Yi Fei? We're best friends, what can't we talk about?"

"There's nothing I can't say. Chen Wenbo owes me a meal, shouldn't I give it to him?"

"Oh, I see. So someone had to bring it up first. This handsome guy is the first to invite me to dinner."

Liu Yifei couldn't take it anymore. "Hmph, Chen Wenbo treated me to dinner first. Don't forget that I invited you to hot pot the night before last."

"That doesn't count. He didn't pay. Aunt Liu was there, and your assistant was there too. What kind of meal is that?"

"Then your dinner last night doesn't count either, Yan Danchen was there too."

"But Chen Wenbo treated us, so I'm still in the lead."

Liu Yifei got angry. "It doesn't matter if I don't eat alone. I'm going to have dinner alone with Chen Wenbo tonight, and he's paying."

"Sissi, who are you having dinner with tonight?"

Liu Yifei was startled by the voice behind her. "Oh, Mom, I'm not eating. I'm talking to Changchang on the phone."

Shu Chang burst into laughter when she heard her best friend's voice on the phone. "Hahaha, Liu Yifei, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm definitely going to be the first to treat you to dinner alone. You'd better not even think about it."

Liu Xiaoli didn't look well. "Dinner's almost ready."

She heard everything her daughter said: having dinner alone with Chen Wenbo tonight? How could she allow that? She shouldn't even think about it.

……

How could they possibly meet at night? Chen Wenbo still wanted to study the system with Fairy Chang'e. He had plenty of people who could deal with Liu Yifei, so he directly called out to Liu the Great Demon.

"Wenbo, I'm on set, what's wrong?"

Hearing Da Yao's cautious voice on the phone, Chen Wenbo thought for a moment, "Sister Li, Yi Fei just called me and asked me to invite her to dinner tonight."

"Oh, okay? Then come to the film set after you finish work. I miss you too."

Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized that she could use her daughter's name to have dinner with her little tiger, killing two birds with one stone.

Chen Wenbo almost vomited blood. "Sister Li, this might not be a good idea. What if there's some misunderstanding?"

"It's okay. Sisi is probably bored on set because no one is talking to her. You can come and chat with her. I'm here too."

"Okay, I'll come over tonight."

Chen Wenbo thought it made sense. With the great demon around, nothing would happen. With Liu Yifei there, he figured he wouldn't have to exert himself on the great demon that night.

He could go back and discuss with the fairy Chang'e how to avoid being disturbed by the great demon, killing two birds with one stone.

……

Chen Wenbo genuinely hadn't expected that a reshoot would be necessary that afternoon. He didn't know who had moved around when the extras were immobilized by Erlang Shen's spell, so they needed to do it again.

I'm speechless. I had to put on the costume again, and the smell of sweat was even stronger. I don't know who wore it before. It was really uncomfortable.

Perhaps due to time constraints, the director didn't have Chen Wenbo repaint his face, preserving his handsome features. It was definitely worth the trip.

The stagehand waved his hand, and Da Te turned around, "Time to eat, time to go home and eat."

The group dispersed, and Chen Wenbo had secured his 50 yuan. Even if there were any problems, they would no longer be Chen Wenbo's concern. Tomorrow, he would be heading to the Legend of Sword and Fairy set to frantically try and recreate Li Xiaoyao's character.

In the prop room, Chen Wenbo took off his shoes and overheard a passerby say, "The casting director just called; the Legend of Sword and Fairy production team needs people tomorrow."

Passerby C: "Let's go then, we've been there before anyway."

Not knowing whether the call from this kid this morning was really from Liu Yifei, Passerby A stepped forward to test him.

"Hey bro, wanna go? That group has the goddess Liu Yifei in it."

Chen Wenbo smiled faintly, "The prospects aren't very promising. There aren't any lines. I'm going to audition for a featured role tonight."

Passerby B: "Brother, you don't understand. The special guests are all arranged in advance. How can you possibly make it in time if you go now?"

Passerby A: "That's not necessarily true. This brother might know a fairy godmother; getting a special contract would be a piece of cake for him."

Passerby B: "The fairy sister looks so young. I met her mother a couple of days ago, and she's so charming."

Passerby C: "If I looked like that, I'd go straight to Boss Cai."

Passerby A: "That makes sense. I've seen the male lead from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series; he's just average-looking."

Chen Wenbo felt a little embarrassed. It seemed like these people were cursing him. He reached out and grabbed a prop sword from the side, then casually showed off a couple of moves.

"I auditioned based on my abilities."
