Jin Yuan also recognised Yun Shu.
Yun Shu was not a very famous celebrity, so she didn’t disguise herself that much, and it was not strange for her to be recognised.
Moreover, Jin Yuan had a deep impression of Yun Shu.
Perhaps because of Yun Shu or perhaps because of what she was doing, or more likely both, she was a little embarrassed and ill at ease. “Senior… Senior Yun.”
Yun Shu was slightly calmer. She continued bending down to pick up the items and said, “Sorry, I didn’t watch my way and hit you. Did I hurt you?”
Yun Shu said the last sentence while looking at the girl.
She was genuinely a little worried about this girl who was about her age.
Yun Shu had experienced the same misfortunes as Jin Yuan. However, Yun Shu was a little luckier than Jin Yuan. When she had no money to study, she coincidentally met the talent scout, David Zhang, and successfully entered the entertainment industry. Furthermore, the most fortunate thing was that David Zhang was responsible and kind. It allowed her path as a celebrity to be a lot less dirty and bumpy. But Jin Yuan did not have such luck… Even the only chance that could be considered redemption was snatched away from her not long ago.
Guilt surfaced in Yun Shu’s heart once again.
She also understood that Fu Ran was an adult who had the right to make his own choices, and it was him who took the initiative to look for her; the person mainly to be blamed was on Fu Ran and not herself. Moreover, things had happened. Even if she returned the cheque, that did not necessarily mean Fu Ran would turn around to choose Jin Yuan.
However, how could a person be so rational? Even if Yun Shu understood very clearly, she still felt guilty for snatching other people’s belongings.
Jin Yuan was unaware that Yun Shu had so many things going through her mind. Warm bloomed within her as she looked into Yun Shu’s eyes. She did not expect that the beautiful and unapproachable Yun Shu on set would turn out to be very friendly privately. She felt a little relieved. Her embarrassment and uneasiness eased. She shook her head. “I’m fine. Senior Yun, don’t worry.”
The guilt in Yun Shu’s heart caused her to be worried about Jin Yuan. She asked, “What time do you get off work?”
Jin Yun did not understand why, but she still answered, “Around 5:30.”
Yun Shu nodded. It is only about 2 pm now. It is still early. She took out her phone and asked Jin Yuan, “What’s your phone number?”
Jin Yuan was at a loss for what to do. She said, “No… No need. I, I…”
Jin Yuan’s eyes met Yun Shu’s gaze, causing her to be unable to finish her words of refusal. In the end, she obediently gave her number.
The girl’s obedient appearance made Yun Shu’s heart feel ticklish. She couldn’t control herself and stroked her (Jin Yuan’s) head and said, “When you get off work, I’ll ask my manager to come and pick you up. I’ll send your number to him. Remember to be good and wait for him, got it?”
After saying that, Yun Shu immediately slipped away without waiting for the girl to react.
Jin Yuan looked at Yun Shu’s distant back in confusion.
……
David Zhang also bought something at the supermarket. Because the items he purchased were different, he and Yun Shu were separated for a while. He didn’t expect that Yun Shu would find a task for him to do in a short moment.
With a resentful expression, David Zhang said, “You can’t stand seeing me idle?”
David Zhang was only in charge of one artiste, Yun Shu. When she was free, he would be free as well. In the end… Who knew that the places where David Zhang thought of eating, drinking, and having fun would be cancelled in less than half a day.
Yun Shu rolled her eyes. “I am helping you to find a potential seedling. You don’t even thank me but resent me?”
This “seedling” referred to Jin Yuan.
In the original plot, Jin Yuan won several awards. She was considered a famous and talented actress. Although she had a financial backer, first-line <sup>[1]</sup> was not easily attainable. Not only does one need luck, but also abilities.
Doesn’t the current Jin Yuan lack luck?
But it doesn’t matter. Yun Shu has luck, and she can share some with her (Jin Yuan).
<sup>[1]</sup> 一线(yīxiàn)-First-line. It would be somewhat like an “A-list” celebrity on the Ulmer scale. It is used to describe a person who often appears in the public eye through various media, has immense popularity and wide influence, and is noticed and loved by the public.
