Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 639 - 228: Zhao Jinmai Comes Knocking

The expression on the man’s face in the private room made Wang Churan a bit uneasy.

The dinner was originally an invitation from the other party, and suddenly bringing an extra ’person’ over without notifying them was indeed a bit impolite.

She originally intended to explain.

Who would have thought that Zhao Jinmai by her side was even quicker to respond, walking up to Sun Dasheng confidently and greeting him: "Hello, my name is Zhao Jinmai. Everyone likes to call me Mai Mai, you can call me that too."

"Hello, Sun Dasheng."

"Wow, are you the Sun Wukong I was thinking of?" Zhao Jinmai, not shy at all, started chatting as if they were old friends.

Sun Dasheng stared at her face for a few seconds, then shook his head: "No, it’s the ’victory’ in Da Sheng."

After saying this, he continued to look at her without speaking. Zhao Jinmai seemed untroubled, and naturally turned her head to greet Wang Churan, who was still standing at the door: "Churan, come and sit, Brother Sun has ordered us a table full of food."

"Brother Sun, I’m just here for a free meal with Churan today. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Though she said this, there was no sense of causing inconvenience as she picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

"You guys eat too, why are you looking at me?" Zhao Jinmai noticed the two around her and said.

Really, not reserved at all.

Wang Churan looked a bit embarrassed at Sun Dasheng.

But he didn’t seem angry at all.

Because this little girl just suited his taste.

She was unpretentious, innocent, whether it was an act or her natural disposition, it felt really nice.

After a few bites, Zhao Jinmai’s mouth started going.

The first question she asked nearly made Sun Dasheng lose his composure:

"Brother Sun, is your company hiring? What’s the pay and conditions like? Do you think I could fit in?"

This...

How to say it?

Her tone was like friends asking around at a southern assembly line factory about job openings.

Sun Dasheng didn’t immediately respond to her, but Wang Churan helped to diffuse the situation, asking back:

"Mai Mai, weren’t you doing well in your original company?"

"Yeah, the pay at my old company was quite good," Zhao Jinmai nodded directly in agreement, but then swiftly changed the subject: "But isn’t Brother Sun’s company more attractive to me?"

This statement openly admitted that she had come with other intentions today.

Despite having ulterior motives, she was not unlikable.

Wang Churan asked in surprise: "I haven’t even introduced Brother Sun to you, how did you know from the start?"

She was a bit slow to catch on, finally realizing—goodness, you came prepared today?

Zhao Jinmai, a bit bashful, explained to her: "Sorry Churan, I was pestering you to come because I wanted to meet President Sun, as I have no other way to know him."

"You don’t mind, do you?"

"Well..." She wondered if she should say she minded a lot.

But with her high emotional intelligence, she knew if she said that, she’d be completely losing her ground.

She just had to smile and nod: "If Brother Sun has no objections, what do I have to mind?"

Having said that, she looked at Sun Dasheng and passed the question to him.

Sun Dasheng watched the two girls in their verbal sparring and found it quite entertaining, so he fanned the flames, saying:

"I think you both are quite promising."

This one sentence warmed both their hearts.

Each thought the other had impressed him greatly.

So the table that was harmonious before became tense and competitive instead.

Yes, this was what he wanted to see.

If you two were as sweet as sisters, how could I make my move, especially when Wang Churan, already my woman, would surely ruin my plans if I made a move on her good friend, no question about it.

So stirring up their conflicts now would eventually...

Hehe...

It was quite an amusing meal.

After eating and settling the bill, both of them subconsciously wanted to spend more time with him.

Sun Dasheng didn’t refuse, and instead asked with apparent ’concern’: "Aren’t one of you the lead actress and the other the second female lead of the crew? Do you have time to go shopping with me?"

"Of course, we can make some time, right Mai Mai?" Wang Churan, no longer amicable as before, spoke with hostility.

Being a veteran in the circle, Zhao Jinmai understood, right?

Yet she still smiled and said: "Of course, let’s go shopping, I haven’t gone shopping or bought things for so long due to filming."

So the three of them headed towards Shanghai City, chatting and laughing.

Why not shop nearby?

Of course not, it would be too easy for their whereabouts to be exposed, and there were too many paparazzi around here.

...

The director of the crew was dumbfounded upon receiving the leave request from the lead actress and the second female lead: You’re acting together here?

The next few days are all scenes involving the both of you, and now you’re both telling me you have to take two days off?

Fortunately, just when he was about to explode in anger, the other party said a sentence, and he immediately changed his tone:

"Did President Sun say so? Oh oh, got it, please send my regards to President Sun. By the way, is two days’ leave enough for you? Do you need a few more days? Ensuring President Sun is well accompanied should be the priority task. Oh, no need for more? Okay, I’ll arrange your scenes to be shot later and shoot other roles’ scenes first. Trouble? No, no trouble at all, not even a bit of trouble. Please remember to send my regards to President Sun."
