Chapter 402: Gathering Trap

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Murong Qiao naturally knew that An Nuo wanted to hold a cla.s.s gathering.

The two of them stayed at home at night. An Nuo would always share what happened during the day with Murong Qiao.

“A gathering? Was it organized by Qing Chuan?” Murong Qiao picked out the main point.

She frowned secretly and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t find any problems at the moment.

An Nuo understood Murong Qiao’s worry, so she patted her shoulder, wanting Murong Qiao to relax.

“I’ve asked my cla.s.smates. Everyone knows about it and it’s not just me. Moreover, we’ve confirmed the time and place. There’s no problem,’¹ she explained.

Murong Qiao didn’t want to stop An Nuo from socializing, but the more it sounded fine, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Murong Qiao was still cautious. “Remember to call me if you have any problems. I’ll pick you up then.”

“Qiao, you’re the best!” An Nuo hugged her.

Murong Qiao knocked her forehead with her finger. “Memorize it quickly. I have to change my script too.”

She changed the topic, but An Nuo became interested.

“New script? Is it Three Thousand Realms? They kept saying that they were going to start filming, but they haven’t chosen the candidates for the roles yet.” An Nuo was curious.

Among the previous two books, one was for her, and the other was for Xian Yu. They were both main leads, so as Murong Qiao’s third book, An Nuo paid a lot of attention to it.

It was better to say that the entire outside world was paying attention.

Everyone had seen how popular “Fearless” and “Wulin Universe” were. Therefore, when Moon G.o.ddess published her third book, “Three Thousand Realms”, almost many people were already certain that this book would definitely become popular.

In fact, many companies had already called Jiang Chi to ask about the casting situation of this drama, wanting to include their own artists.

Murong Qiao’s fingertips landed on the keyboard. “I have some thoughts about the cast.”

If the first two books were tailor-made for Fifth Brother Xian Yu and An Nuo, Murong Qiao was more relaxed about the third book.

“Recently, there have been many artists in the company who are not bad. One should not allow benefits created by one’s own work to accrue to others.”

“Moreover, Chi Hanjing and the new girl’s acting skills are very good. I feel that they’re quite suitable for the supporting roles I wrote.” Murong Qiao already had an idea in her heart.

From time to time, they talked a little. An Nuo memorized her script while Murong Qiao worked on her script. They got along well.

On the day of the gathering, An Nuo informed her manager and took a car to the location Qing Chuan had sent her.

The venue was a luxurious-looking hotel. An Nuo walked in and an attendant went forward to lead the way for her.

“Are you Young Miss An Nuo?” The waiter confirmed her ident.i.ty.

An Nuo didn’t ask further and only nodded. The waiter walked half a step in front of her and led the way for her.

As the elevator slowly rose, An Nuo was led to a private room by the waiter and sat down.

“Please wait here for a moment. The other guests will be here soon,” the waiter explained.

An Nuo thought that the other guests he was talking about were her cla.s.smates, so she didn’t think too much about it.

However, she didn’t see the waiter turn around and go to the private room beside her.

“She’s already here,” the waiter said to Qing Chuan, who was sitting inside.

Qing Chuan readily stuffed a few red notes into his hands as a tip. “Alright, I understand.”

He was holding his cell phone and sending a message to the boss who liked An Nuo very much.

As for those students, Qing Chuan had long sent a message saying that he had changed the time and place, but he did not send a message to An Nuo.

What he needed was for An Nuo to come alone. As for those who didn’t know their place, he could just find an excuse to send them away.

An Nuo waited in the room for a long time, but she didn’t expect to see Qing Chuan come in with an unknown middle-aged man.

“Isn’t it a cla.s.s reunion?” She got up.

When she saw a stranger, An Nuo’s vigilance was raised to the highest.

Qing Chuan had a gentle smile on his face. “Don’t be so nervous, An Nuo. I just want to introduce someone to you.”

“This is Boss Li.” He bowed and revealed the real protagonist.

Boss Li was the person who had chatted with Qing Chuan at the bar that day. His smiling eyes, which were standing beside Qing Chuan, were squeezed until only a crack was left. That smile made An Nuo feel uncomfortable no matter how she looked at it.

An Nuo’s face turned cold. Only then did she understand that she seemed to have been tricked by Qing Chuan today.

Boss Li smiled. “It’s rare for Young Miss An Nuo to come over today. Coincidentally, I’m also in the entertainment industry. Perhaps we’ll have something to talk about?”

Not only that, Boss Li even walked over and sat beside An Nuo.

Looking at the other party’s huge beer belly and greasy smile, An Nuo felt that staying here for another second was torture for her.

‘But…’

An Nuo glanced in the direction of the door. Qing Chuan was standing there, clearly guarding against her leaving.

No matter how hard she tried, she wouldn’t be able to win against the strength of the two men. She would even intensify the situation.

An Nuo simply changed her seat and tried her best to put as much distance as possible between her and Boss Li.

“I don’t think we have anything to talk about.” Her tone was cold, and it was obvious that she didn’t want to say anything else.

Boss Li smiled. “I have a lot of good resources in my hands. Are you really not interested, Young Miss An Nuo?”

Boss Li had seen too many such aloof female celebrities. Moreover, he still liked An Nuo now, so he was naturally willing to put in a lot of patience for her.

An Nuo couldn’t be bothered with the other party, a mocking smile on her lips.

Although he said that there were good resources, he wouldn’t give them away for nothing. Now that she was in such a situation, it was obvious what she had to do in exchange for those resources.

The entertainment industry was a mess. Just because An Nuo didn’t wet her feet didn’t mean that she didn’t know.

[An Nuo: Come quickly.]

Under the cover of the table, An Nuo took out her phone and sent a message to Murong Qiao.

It was impossible for her to run out by herself. Now, she only hoped that Murong Qiao would come over as soon as possible to save her from trouble.

An Nuo still wanted to type a few more words, but Qing Chuan sat beside her in the next second, restricting her movements.

“This is a good opportunity, An Nuo,” Qing Chuan said to her softly.

He didn’t realize that there was anything wrong with his actions at all. “If you get involved with Boss Li, you’ll only become even more popular than now.”

From Qing Chuan’s tone, he seemed to be proud of this, as if introducing Boss Li to An Nuo was a gift.

After all, in Qing Chuan’s opinion, it was him who introduced better resources to An Nuo and also to help her become better. As for An Nuo, she only needed to accept it gratefully.

“Oh.” An Nuo couldn’t be bothered to talk to him.

Ever since she knew that Qing Chuan had deliberately invited her over and even “sent” her to Boss Li, she had completely disregarded the last bit of friendship she had with this person.

However, An Nuo was stunned. Why didn’t she see that Qing Chuan was such a person in the past?

“Young lady, don’t be too inflexible. It won’t be good for you.” Boss Li’s tone was also firm.

An Nuo had not given him face a few times. She sat there with a cold expression, constantly exhausting Boss Li’s patience.

The atmosphere in the private room was not good, but Qing Chuan and Boss Li sat at the side, letting An Nuo not act rashly.

She could only place her hopes on Murong Qiao and pray that she could arrive as soon as possible.

An Nuo was clearly a little uneasy. Behind her was the floor-to-ceiling window and a height of more than 20 floors, making it impossible for her to leave.

The scene of this private room was seen by the people in the other private room.

“Thank you for your sponsorship for this project, President Murong…” The cooperator’s flattering voice sounded in his ears.

Murong Chen took another look over. He felt that the girl’s figure was a little familiar, reminding him of a friend of his Little Sister..
