Chapter 39 Bearing a Leather Belt to Plead Guilty
Ma Sichun walked into the room somewhat awkwardly, looking at the open door with some confusion, wondering why the door wasn't closed.
Seemingly noticing Ma Sichun's confusion, Su Yu "thoughtfully" asked:
"Do you want to close the door?"
"Hmm... I'm afraid someone will see us if we don't close the door."
"oh!"
Su Yu nodded indifferently and closed the door slightly, but this made him seem more like he was doing something bad.
"That... Su Yu."
After closing the door and cutting off the light from the corridor, Ma Sichun finally felt relieved. She took a deep breath and handed over the brand-new Hermes bag, her eyes revealing a sense of desperation.
I apologize for my prejudice.
Wow, that's quite straightforward, without any build-up at all? But this put Su Yu in an awkward position, unsure whether to agree or not.
His gaze fell on the second orange bag in front of him, then he glanced at the belt on the table. Unable to resist, he changed the subject:
"Sister Sichun, are you planning to start a personal shopping service? Actually, Duling already gave me the one from earlier today, untouched. Here it is~"
Su Yu pointed to the identical packaging bag on the coffee table, which had already been opened.
Ma Sichun knew this, but she felt that since she hadn't personally handed the belt to Su Yu, it couldn't be considered an apology in the strict sense. So she went and bought an identical one, specifically to "apologize with the belt."
"You do have quite the spirit of the ancients, Sister Sichun."
"Huh?" Ma Sichun was confused and didn't understand what Su Yu was talking about.
"It's like carrying thorns to apologize, doesn't it? Don't you think it's similar? Except you're carrying a leather belt to apologize~"
Ma Sichun nodded as if suddenly enlightened, quickly unpacked the package, and presented the belt to Su Yu with both hands:
"To plead guilty with a bundle of thorns on one's back, is that how it is?"
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps, accompanied by a girl's clear voice, came from outside the door:
"Su Yu! Are you going to check WeChat or not?! Come to the internet cafe with me for a duo match..."
Chen Duling, holding her phone, saw that Su Yu's door was half-open and he wasn't replying to her messages, so she rushed into the room in a flurry.
Before she could finish speaking, she froze in place as if a pause button had been pressed.
In the room, under the warm yellow light, Ma Sichun, dressed in a plain white T-shirt, had a flushed face. Because the incident happened so suddenly, the three of them were stunned for several seconds.
Ma Sichun's hand was still awkwardly raised when Su Yu quickly snatched the belt away and hid it behind his back. However, this action only added to the sense that he was trying to cover it up.
"Ah! I...I went to the wrong room! Please continue! Continue!"
"Oh no, no!" Chen Duling turned around and ran quickly out the door. "I didn't see anything!"
Like a startled little rabbit, she vanished in a flash at the end of the corridor.
"Aaaaaah! Chen Duling, what have you done?! Why did you enter someone's room without their permission?! Now we're doomed, completely doomed!"
As Chen Duling ran, she screamed softly. Although she couldn't understand what she had just seen, she was deeply shocked!
Inside, Su Yu and Ma Sichun were extremely embarrassed. After Chen Duling ran out, Ma Sichun and Su Yu exchanged a glance, then looked at the belt, and suddenly felt a heat...
The two were speechless for a moment, then Su Yu spoke first:
"Should we go after her and explain things to her?"
"I'll do it! You don't need to go out!"
Ma Sichun turned and ran out, afraid that if she was even a second too late, Chen Duling would run out and spread rumors, and she would never be able to clear her name.
She didn't even bother to put down the bag in her hand, throwing it directly onto the sofa and chasing after him with a flushed face.
Watching the two figures flee in disarray, one after the other, Su Yu felt a sense of helplessness.
He walked back to the sofa, picked up his phone, and sure enough, there were several WeChat messages from Chen Duling on the screen:
[Quickly! Internet cafe charter! Let's go!]
[What are you doing, Su Yu! Reply to my message!]
Reply to my message!
If you don't reply to my messages, I'm going to come looking for you!
"...Games are incredibly harmful!"
Su Yu locked the screen and turned to close the door.
He had only peeked out halfway when he stopped.
Outside the door of the next room, Tangyuan was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.
Today she was dressed in a smart business suit, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, and a playful smile on her lips, looking every bit the bystander.
"Wow, Su Yu, your room is more bustling than the city gates of Hengdian!"
Tangyuan pushed up her glasses and walked over with a clattering sound in her high heels.
"What's going on? I heard you just received a Hermes bag from Chen Duling tonight, and now Ma Sichun is here too? You've got two Hermes bags already, you're really something!"
"Stop making fun of me."
Su Yu ushered her into the house and closed the door behind him. "Didn't you go to discuss the contract today? How did it go?"
Tangyuan walked to the sofa, sat down without any ceremony, and casually slammed a thick document onto the coffee table, her tone filled with undisguised arrogance and pride.
"The result? The salary is 1.5 million after tax, to be paid in installments."
One and a half million! After tax!
Su Yu's eyes lit up instantly.
Although he is a reborn person, he is now penniless, with real money in his pocket!
"Sister Tangyuan is awesome!!"
Su Yu rubbed his hands excitedly and hurriedly prepared to boil water and make tea for Tangyuan.
Tangyuan rolled her eyes in disdain: "Look at you, so easily excited. One and a half million is making you lose your mind? Let me tell you, there's more good news~"
"There's more good news??" Su Yu was a little puzzled. Could it be that [Heavenly Fate Little Auspiciousness] had exerted its power?
Tangyuan's expression turned serious, and she stared intently at Su Yu:
Do you know about Lightspeed Media?
"Light limit?"
Su Yu wasn't very familiar with Guangxian in this life, but he was very clear about the entertainment giant's illustrious reputation in his previous life.
"Yes, the investor behind 'The Left Ear' is Guangxian Media. Their executives have seen some rough cut footage of you and are very satisfied with your appearance. They currently have a huge project in mind."
"What kind of pancake?"
"The Grave Robbers' Chronicles"
Tangyuan's breathing quickened, and her tone betrayed a suppressed excitement.
"It's a top-tier IP by Nanpai Sanshu, a super web series co-produced by Enlight Media and H&R Century Pictures. They want you to audition for the role of Zhang Qiling!"
Now it was Su Yu's turn to get excited. Not to mention that this drama would immediately become a phenomenal hit after it aired, the name Shan Chong... Zhang Qiling! That's Little Brother!
Tangyuan continued her analysis to Su Yu earnestly:
"You may not know how terrifying this IP is. Let me give you a general summary: Zhang Qiling is the white moonlight of the entire book fan circle. He has the highest level of martial arts, a cold and mysterious personality, and doesn't even need much acting skills."
Anyway, as long as your acting isn't terrible, once this show airs, you'll definitely skyrocket to fame!
Su Yu rolled his eyes at her: "Thanks for your kind words."
"Mainly because the lighting department felt your image was a perfect fit, and they also learned from me that your action scenes were extremely impressive. You're practically a character straight out of a book, so they just gave me this opportunity!"
Tangyuan looked at Su Yu, a confident smile playing on her lips.
"So, did you agree to their request?"
Su Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
