"Then let's not waste any more time; let's get straight to it and begin the audition!"
Before Li Wenbin arrived, he had already decided to offer this role. For him, whether the audition happened or not didn't really matter.
However, this notion dissolved when he realized that the young master from the Gu family was taking this role very seriously.
In his opinion, Gu Yu's willingness to put effort into shaping the character was absolutely commendable.
To properly acknowledge such dedication, the audition process had to be formal.
"Alright, let's begin." Gu Yu rubbed his hands, a hint of excitement in his movements.
This was his first time landing a role, and after striving for so long, he naturally wanted to see a result.
He quickly adjusted his state, and in no time, he seamlessly transitioned into the segment they were auditioning for.
And as he entered that state, Li Wenbin's eyes suddenly lit up...
"Wow, this rose petal pastry smells so good, sniffle, sniffle!"
In the outer room of the tea house, Yaoyao happily took a bite of the pastry in her hand. The rich aroma of rose petals spread across her tongue. The floral scent and the sweet, candied taste combined wonderfully.
Adding to that the flaky crust that melted at a touch, the flavor was surprisingly delightful.
After eating three or four pieces in quick succession, Yaoyao felt a bit parched. She pulled over her small cross-body water bottle and guzzled down several large mouthfuls of sweet water.
Once she felt refreshed, her gaze drifted towards the inner room of the tea house, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.
She wondered how Seventh Brother was doing with his acting!
She had given in to temptation just now, and fearing that eating would affect her brother's performance, she hadn't gone in with him, choosing to wait outside instead.
This tea house had very large private rooms. Yaoyao, a little bored, swung her small feet, propping her head up languidly.
All the remaining food, she had put away, partly to save room for the delicious meals Seventh Brother would take her to eat, and partly because she wanted to let Mama and the others try some too.
Otherwise, she could have easily devoured it all herself.
"French fries, hamburgers, fried chicken..."
Yaoyao thought for a moment, then began counting on her little fingers the delicious foods she wanted to eat later.
But as she counted, she found she didn't have enough fingers, and the ones she had already kept track of got mixed up. Her soft, round face immediately fell.
For her, counting these things was truly too difficult, not because they were hard to remember, but because she thought of too many things, and they all popped into her head at once, making it easy to forget.
"Never mind, I'll just follow Seventh Brother's plan!"
Yaoyao wasn't the type to trouble herself. If she couldn't figure something out, she'd simply give up. Since she was with Seventh Brother, she could comfortably put her worries aside.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard a "click" sound from behind her.
Yaoyao turned her head and saw Seventh Brother and Uncle Li walking out.
Both of them had smiles on their faces, especially Uncle Li; his smile was even harder to contain.
"I believe you'll definitely portray this character wonderfully. To have this level of skill right after entering the industry is truly excellent."
"Later, I'll have my assistant contact Young Master Gu's agent, and we'll finalize the collaboration."
Li Wenbin's praise was genuine, not simply because of his connection to the Master.
Judging by the level of the audition just now, he might have truly struck gold this time. Perhaps this role could even add significant value to the film.
Therefore, he was somewhat impatient to sign the contract, fearing the person might slip away.
"Pleasure working with you!" Gu Yu was also delighted, as this was recognition he had earned through his own ability.
With their discussion reaching this point, the rest was merely business procedure, requiring no further thought from them.
So, it was time to consider having dinner.
Yaoyao was quite enthusiastic about this and finally settled on Cantonese cuisine in the building.
When ordering, Li Wenbin practically ordered half the menu.
His generosity wasn't just because he had money; before coming, he had openly asked Gu Yu about the Master's appetite.
The final answer was somewhat amusing; the other person had only said two words: "Limitless capacity."
At this point, if he were to order only a few dishes stingily, he would truly lose face.
Li Wenbin was also a little curious about what "limitless capacity" truly meant.
However, he soon understood, because everything he had ordered was completely gone.
And the Master's expression clearly showed she still wanted more, so he continued to order another half of the menu.
Only when those were also emptied did he see her slowly put down her chopsticks.
"Thank you for the treat, Uncle Li. You've... spent quite a lot!"
Yaoyao looked at the stack of plates on the table, her little face slightly flushed. She hadn't quite controlled herself and had eaten just a tiny bit too much.
Although it was meant to be a favor repaid, it was still somewhat outrageous.
"No... no problem. As long as you're full, that's what matters."
Upon hearing her, Li Wenbin tried hard to force out a stiff smile.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford the bill; he was a renowned director after all, not so down-and-out.
His primary concern, from beginning to end, was a single thought: "Did the Master not get sick from overeating?"
He had thoroughly investigated; the Master was the apple of the Gu family's eye. If she were to suffer any ill effects from a single meal, he would be in deep trouble.
However, this concern turned out to be somewhat superfluous.
If Yaoyao had wanted to eat more, she absolutely could have. There was no question of her being "sick from overeating."
Gu Yu had been holding back laughter the entire time, because he understood the latter's expression all too well.
However, considering he would have to interact with Li Wenbin when filming started, it was best not to offend him too badly. So, Gu Yu refrained from speaking.
After confirming several times that everything was fine, Li Wenbin finally relaxed and went to settle the bill.
He had other matters to follow up on, so he didn't linger and left early.
Yaoyao, having rarely been out, didn't want to go home so early. She dragged Seventh Brother along for a stroll.
The entire commercial street was full of novelties, and Yaoyao had a blast playing around.
By the time they left the mall, the sky had already begun to darken.
Yaoyao was wondering whether to eat dinner before going back or to go back and eat when suddenly, a sharp cry abruptly cut through the noisy street.
"Ahhhhhhh, someone's dead!"
Upon hearing this, Yaoyao stood bolt upright. Her gaze darted towards the source of the sound.
The next moment, her dark, round eyes suddenly constricted. It wasn't due to any unusual movement, but because the scene before her was simply too gory.
Chunks of mutilated remains were seen dragging down from a high-tension cable all the way to the ground.
A terrifying amount of blood stained a large section of the pavement. Nearby pedestrians who couldn't get out of the way in time were drenched in blood.
