The matter with Xie You was quickly forgotten by Meng Huai as the girls changed the subject. She hadn't even considered searching online; there was simply no need.
While these young girls were still having lunch, Meng Huai received a communication.
It was from An Ran, whom these girls often mentioned. Meng Huai looked at the name displayed on the communication and thought: Speak of the devil, and she shall appear. wap.kanshu伍.net
Upon connecting, An Ran told her, "Meng Huai, when do you have time? I feel like the decision you mentioned has arrived."
"Then come over this afternoon. When I have free time, I'll do another divination for you."
An Ran nodded, "Okay."
After hanging up the communication, An Ran looked at the two scripts displayed on her screen, lost in thought.
She was currently on Imperial Capital Star. Her previous statement about buying a house and settling here was no joke.
After the communication, An Ran tidied herself up and went to the medicinal cuisine restaurant to find Meng Huai. Her assistant wasn't there today since she wasn't broadcasting. However, thinking it over, she decided to inform her assistant. "I'm going to Meng Huai to get a divination. Do you want to come along? You're always saying you don't have holidays and can't go to eat medicinal cuisine, right?"
However, her assistant, Xiao Bai, looked embarrassed and showed An Ran her current background, which was the medicinal cuisine restaurant.
She was sitting at a table behind the group of girls who were meeting up. Because she was an assistant, An Ran's fans didn't recognize her, and she was quietly eating her meal.
Assistant Xiao Bai wiped her mouth and said sheepishly to An Ran, "You gave me a holiday today! So I came to the medicinal cuisine restaurant. I couldn't help it, I can't forget this taste!"
An Ran looked at the scene in the communication, pointed at her assistant, and pretended to be stern, saying, "You! I won't give you a holiday next time! You didn't even invite me to eat!"
An Ran and her assistant had a very good relationship. Although she was an assistant, she was also a good sister. Otherwise, which assistant would dare complain to their employer about not having a holiday!
"No, no, no, I didn't call you because I saw you had something going on! Hurry up, hurry up, I've already ordered the food and am waiting for you! My treat!"
Assistant Xiao Bai quickly tried to make amends.
Since Xiao Bai had already smoothed things over, An Ran went along with it, saying, "Alright then, I'll be there now! Wait for me!"
"Waiting, waiting," Xiao Bai said, wiping the corner of her mouth.
An Ran arrived a little over ten minutes later. She greeted Meng Huai and saw Xiao Bai waving at her.
"Meng Huai!"
Meng Huai saw An Ran and first observed her luck. "Your luck is indeed very mixed. Wait for me to finish before I take a good look at you!"
In Meng Huai's eyes, An Ran's luck was a tangled mess of multiple possibilities, like a ball of yarn with many different colored threads all tangled together.
An Ran waved her hand, "No rush, no rush. I'll grab something to eat first. Xiao Bai is waiting for me!"
"Go ahead, go ahead."
After An Ran sat down, Xiao Bai told her, "You came at an inconvenient time. A group of your fans were sitting at the table right behind you. But they just left. They were also quite unlucky!"
An Ran asked in surprise, "Really? That's a pity."
After finishing lunch, An Ran and Xiao Bai waited. Throughout the lunch hour, guests came and went, and Meng Huai was never idle. Around three in the afternoon, Meng Huai called Sister Ting over. "Sister Ting, keep an eye on things here. An Ran and I have something to attend to."
"Okay, boss. Go ahead."
Meng Huai took An Ran to the pavilion. Xiao Bai came over and asked, "Can I join you?"
An Ran had nothing to hide from her and brought her along.
The three found chairs and sat down. Meng Huai asked, "What happened? I see your luck is related to career choices, but I can't pinpoint the specifics."
An Ran didn't hold back and explained the situation.
"Recently, fans have been suggesting that I develop a career in entertainment. They say that being an internet celebrity and streamer can only last a few years. They want me to consider a transition and perhaps take acting classes, so I can act in movies later."
An Ran told Meng Huai the reason behind it, and then said, "After listening, I felt it made sense. My fans are thinking of me, and this suggestion is quite good. So, I enrolled in a well-known acting class. I've taken a few lessons. I didn't expect them to be so well-informed about this circle. Now, two film crews have approached me, inviting me to act."
"No way, An Ran, don't get scammed. The entertainment industry is very hard to break into. Don't they have some other motive? You don't have any works, how can any good film crews find you!"
Before Meng Huai could say anything, Xiao Bai felt that An Ran must have been deceived. She didn't think this was a good thing; perhaps some director had taken a liking to her looks! Isn't this common nowadays? She had to be careful.
As Xiao Bai thought this, she looked at Meng Huai to see what she would say. After all, regarding the scumbag incident last time, both she and An Ran were completely convinced by Meng Huai's divination skills!
This time, Meng Huai didn't use tortoise shells for divination but calculated the results with her fingers.
"But there's a small role in a major production, and another is an important role in a new production?"
Although Meng Huai didn't know much about the entertainment industry, she often overheard conversations and had some understanding of the entertainment industry of this era.
Meng Huai asked An Ran about what she had calculated. An Ran nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
"Owner, which one do you think I should go for? Or are neither suitable?"
An Ran trusted Meng Huai immensely. If Meng Huai had said that both opportunities were ill-timed, An Ran would have definitely turned them down.
However, Meng Huai didn't say that. She told An Ran the result of her divination: "I've calculated that the opportunity with the new production is better."
An Ran and Xiao Bai exchanged a look, and An Ran excitedly said, "Really? Then I'll reply to that film crew and tell them I'll report tomorrow!"
Meng Huai looked at An Ran and smiled helplessly, thinking how much she trusted her.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Xiao Bai inquired, "What film crews are they? What kind of movies are they filming?"
"That major production is directed by Zhang Xingxing. Although the role is small, you know that almost every actor in his movies becomes well-known if they have some screen time. And I checked, the role they offered me has quite a bit of screen time!"
An Ran said this, but then realized that Meng Huai might interpret this as her regretting not getting the larger role. She quickly added, "But you know, for someone like me, a small internet celebrity, this kind of opportunity is unrealistic!"
Xiao Bai knew what An Ran meant and quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right."
An Ran performed another calculation and said, "That film crew, I'm afraid there will be problems during filming, so you shouldn't go. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time."
"Is that so?" An Ran asked doubtfully.
Xiao Bai, being gossipy, asked, "What kind of problems will there be?"
Meng Huai told them the result of her calculation: "The divination shows that the protagonist will have problems, possibly imprisonment."
Xiao Bai and An Ran looked at each other again. Xiao Bai leaned over to An Ran and asked, "Then who are the main actors?"
"How would I know! But if the protagonist goes to jail halfway through filming, it would be a big deal! It might require reshoots, and all the early investment would be wasted..."
Gossip, everyone has it....
