Chapter 108 Each with their own ulterior motives
evening.
Inside a private dining room in the restaurant.
When Lin Yu pushed open the door, the room was already full of people.
Ou Hao, Ma Sichun, Guan Xiaotong, and Chen Duling were among those listed.
"Oh my, our grand finale guest has arrived!" Ma Sichun teased first.
In private, her makeup is much more normal.
"Old Lin." Ou Hao stood up, shook hands with Lin Yu with great courtesy, and greeted him in a deep voice.
Lin Yu nodded and exchanged pleasantries with him for a while before being helped to sit down next to Chen Duling.
Chen Duling was slightly taken aback, but her expression remained unchanged, still maintaining a faint coldness.
Ouhao himself walked to the door and winked at the waiter standing there.
"Please serve the food."
He finished speaking calmly, then turned and went into the room.
"Why are you so late?" Chen Duling lowered her head, looked at Lin Yu, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her face.
Lin Yu waved his hand: "It was some work-related stuff, I just took care of it."
He wasn't lying, but this wasn't about him being a celebrity; it was about the investors.
Xu Yan had just replied to her message that afternoon; Li Wei had accepted her invitation and decided to come to Xiamen to discuss the investment with Lin Yu.
However, for Lin Yu, investing in the so-called short video was a pretense; his real intention was to bring him into his Shuyu Media.
His abilities are undeniable, and he also has a strong network of connections.
Only after bringing him in could Shu Yu truly begin his journey!
"Hey, what are you two whispering about? Let's all raise our glasses," Ma Sichun said, gesturing to Chen Duling and Lin Yu.
Upon seeing this, Ou Hao's lips curled up slightly.
Lin Yu guessed correctly; he was indeed currently fishing for Ma Sichun.
Aside from his own goodwill, another reason was that the resources behind Ma Sichun were indeed of great benefit to him!
Originally, things were going quite smoothly. He joined the crew early, cultivated a relationship with Ma Sichun, and everything seemed to fall into place naturally.
As a result, with Lin Yu joining the crew, he clearly felt that Ma Sichun's attitude towards him had changed.
Fortunately, based on his observations over the past few days, Lin Yu doesn't seem to have any feelings for Ma Sichun, but rather has a good relationship with Chen Duling.
But as a man himself, he knew very well that if he let her pursue him so intensely, Lin Yu might not necessarily refuse!
That's why we had this get-together today.
"I saw the news yesterday, Lao Lin, you went to the comic convention with Du Ling?" Ou Hao asked.
As expected, Ma Sichun and Guan Xiaotong exchanged slightly surprised glances.
Chen Duling was taken aback, but then a hint of shame appeared on her face.
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "You're quite well-informed."
He neither admitted nor denied it, instead playing a game of evasion.
Guan Xiaotong was somewhat surprised: "You really went out with her? How annoying! How did you two get leave from Director Su? I don't even get leave for the drama promotion."
Her words were full of envy, but Ma Sichun's eyebrows twitched.
She was the oldest among them, and her years of experience made her very clear about the truth behind Ouhao's dinner party.
To be honest, she really liked Ou Hao, but unfortunately, someone even better came along.
The reason she accepted Ou Hao's invitation was to find out the state of Lin Yu and Chen Duling.
If they really got together, she would settle for second best, since she had no intention of being a mistress.
"I guess it's some kind of event. Director Su asked you guys to do some promotional work for the drama in advance?" Ma Sichun said, her words intentionally or unintentionally trying to help him out of the predicament.
Lin Yu smiled without saying a word, seemingly acquiescing.
Ou Hao's expression suddenly turned rather unpleasant.
At the same time, Ma Sichun also felt a cold gaze.
She followed the gaze and her eyes met Chen Duling's.
However, she just smiled nonchalantly and even raised her eyebrows at her provocatively.
You don't even have a proper title, what are you so arrogant about?
Chen Duling felt provoked and her face turned red. She almost stood up in anger.
Everyone at the dinner table had their own agenda, but Guan Xiaotong's voice kept echoing throughout the meal.
When he left, Ouhao simply hailed two taxis.
However, after the car started moving, he looked at Guan Xiaotong sitting next to him and was speechless for a moment.
Meanwhile, in another taxi.
Chen Duling sat in the passenger seat with a puffed-up face and a look of absurdity on her face.
"Is this what the entertainment industry is like? How can there be such shameless female celebrities!" she thought to herself, feeling somewhat angry.
However, Ma Sichun, who was sitting in the back row, had a smile on her lips.
Compared to me, you're just a college student, you're still too green!
With that thought in mind, she said in a sweet, coquettish voice to Lin Yu on the other side, "Um, Lin Yu, I'm a little dizzy, can I lie down and rest for a while?"
"Okay." Lin Yu's voice was calm, but no one noticed the slight upturn of his lips in the darkness.
He had already figured out what was going on today, and the reason he hadn't taken any action and had let Ma Sichun do as she pleased was not for any other reason.
I just wanted to provoke Chen Duling.
As for Ma Sichun? He really wasn't interested. Although he had high demands, it didn't mean he wasn't picky.
Moreover, for him, the relationships behind Ma Sichun were, in some ways, much more troublesome than Jing's background.
Jing Tian may have a lot of money, but based on the tests she's been doing recently, she's actually very independent.
Apart from that, her influence on the entertainment industry is actually not high.
But Ma Sichun? The power behind her is considerable in the entertainment industry!
Therefore, Lin Yu wasn't particularly interested in her, but he could use her to pique Chen Duling's interest quite a bit! In fact, quite a bit.
As the vehicle moved, Chen Duling would occasionally glance at Ma Sichun's movements through the rearview mirror.
Since it was a taxi, she didn't do anything like lying on Lin Yu's lap.
She simply leaned against the car door on her side, then slowly moved her long legs toward Lin Yu.
Chen Duling watched, but could only watch angrily.
She lost her temper and berated Ma Sichun? But on what grounds did she berate her?
Upon realizing this, Chen Duling felt her blood pressure soar, almost exceeding her own height.
Fortunately, the restaurant wasn't far from here, and Chen Duling breathed a sigh of relief after they arrived.
But before she could even catch her breath, Ma Sichun started causing trouble again.
The woman sitting in the back seat was making some unconscious murmurs, seemingly a little drunk, but she refused to get out of the car.
Chen Duling tried to help her despite feeling unwell, but she was immediately pushed away.
Instead, Lin Yu stepped forward, and she was immediately supported by him, her whole body wrapping around him like a water snake.
"rogue!"
He secretly took a sip.
Chen Duling was momentarily at a loss after being overwhelmed by Ma Sichun's moves.
