Chapter 690: A Huge Misunderstanding
Lin Tian felt that terms like pervert, weirdo, and hooligan shouldn’t be associated with him at all.
It should be dashing, handsome, and suave instead!
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Tian said, "I find that you’re a bit dirty-minded, always twisting my words."
Jiang Pan Die snorted heavily, "Then what was that look about just now? Don’t you know staring at a girl like that is very impolite?"
"Isn’t it polite to look at someone when you’re speaking to them?"
"I..." Jiang Pan Die didn’t know how to respond for a moment, then snorted again, "What do you want?"
"Do you remember the street dance I did last night?" Lin Tian asked.
"I remember, so what?"
"Do you think our team members have a chance to enter the entertainment industry?" Lin Tian asked seriously.
Jiang Pan Die didn’t reply immediately but tilted her head and thought for a few seconds before nodding, "That dance was amazing, with many high-difficulty moves. They have a lot of potential. They’re very promising. Could it be... what you want is for them to enter the entertainment industry?"
Jiang Pan Die was a bit surprised. She came back to school not only to visit her alma mater but more importantly for work. She needed to find more young people with potential for Heyue. You could say it’s also about finding allies for herself.
Lin Tian nodded, "To be precise, it’s one of your female fans, influenced by you, who wants to enter the entertainment industry."
After hearing this, Jiang Pan Die actually smiled bitterly, "The entertainment industry... is not an easy place for girls to mix in... Why don’t you advise your friend to give up?"
Lin Tian shook his head, "Do you think she’s not qualified enough?"
"No, no, no, your dancing has already caught a lot of attention. Even if I don’t recruit them, other scouts will definitely come looking for them... It’s just that, the entertainment industry isn’t easy to mix in."
Jiang Pan Die’s expression was a bitter smile. It was obvious that she had faced quite a few difficulties and obstacles over the years.
"If they join Heyue through your recruitment, they might endure fewer hardships. Anyway, their enthusiasm is just a flash in the pan; once it cools down, they’ll quit on their own," Lin Tian said.
"Recruiting them is easy; I was going to do it even if you didn’t mention it," Jiang Pan Die said, looking at Lin Tian with a strange expression, "Is this the request you wanted me to agree to earlier?"
Lin Tian nodded, "Otherwise, what else would I need your help with?"
"So now that I’ve agreed to you, will you help me shoot an MV and do a duet?"
Lin Tian smiled bitterly, "With your current popularity, I’m afraid many big stars would want to collaborate with you, right? Why find me?"
"I think... they’re not as handsome as you are."
...
In the end, Lin Tian decided to help out. The condition was, he needed to be free, otherwise no deal.
Jiang Pan Die knew this might be Lin Tian’s final bottom line, so she didn’t say more.
To celebrate the deal, Jiang Pan Die ordered a few bottles of beer, drank until her speech was slurred, and then Lin Tian sent her back to her hotel.
Both of them had masks on their faces, so there was no fear of paparazzi.
Jiang Pan Die staggered down the hotel corridor, her body swinging as if she might topple at any moment.
Lin Tian initially wanted to help her, but was refused. This was a very stubborn superstar.
They walked all the way to the door of Jiang Pan Die’s room. She looked at Lin Tian with wary eyes, "Okay, you’ve troubled yourself enough to get me to my room door, so can you... go back now?"
Lin Tian smiled wryly, "Aren’t you inviting me in for a cup of coffee?"
"No need, being in the entertainment industry for two years, vigilance is still most important. But since you put it that way, come on in."
With that, Jiang Pan Die opened the room with her key card and went inside without waiting for Lin Tian.
Lin Tian followed her inside, laughing and asking, "You were just calling me a pervert and a weirdo earlier, why aren’t you afraid of me now?"
Jiang Pan Die turned her head, stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Because Tong is in the room too. Just look at her big figure, it’s more than enough with the two of us to subdue you easily, right?"
Lin Tian laughed wryly, with just the two of you still want to subdue me? You’d need ten or eight more to even try.
The room Jiang Pan Die was staying in was very big, at least a presidential suite, elegantly and largely decorated.
Suddenly, Lin Tian noticed someone lying on the sofa, a loose robe revealing fair skin. Probably because she was alone in the hotel, she let her guard down and exposed a lot.
Jiang Pan Die also noticed this, and her drunkenness cleared up a bit. She quickly shouted, "Tong! Put on your clothes! We have guests!"
Tong was flipping through a magazine when she heard this. She hurriedly used her clothes to cover up what shouldn’t be exposed to the air.
"Who are you two!" Tong screamed, "How did you get here!"
As she spoke, she picked up a fruit knife from the table, looking ready to defend herself.
Jiang Pan Die giggled, "Tong, you can’t even recognize me? That’s great, this mask was worth the fifteen thousand."
With that, Jiang Pan Die took off her mask, revealing her exquisite and lovely face, a world of difference from before.
"Pan Die..." Tong’s eyes widened and jaw dropped before she rubbed her eyes, finally realizing she wasn’t mistaken.
Then Tong noticed the man beside Jiang Pan Die also took off his mask, and it was Lin Tian!
Tong had been around the entertainment industry for many years, her face as thick as a fortress wall. Even if Lin Tian had seen her fully naked, she wouldn’t dare say a word; this man’s background was too mysterious!
Honestly speaking, Lin Tian felt nothing about that earlier scene. Tong’s figure was really average; time flies and grapes have turned into raisins, nothing to see here.
Tong wrapped her robe tightly, then pulled Jiang Pan Die aside and quietly questioned her, "You snuck out for a day just to see him? Are you two... venting some needs?"
Tong initially wanted to directly say hooked up, but that sounded too harsh, so she changed her wording.
Jiang Pan Die’s face was already red from drinking, but now it was even redder, "What are you talking about! I just invited him for a meal! To get him to help me shoot an MV!"
"For just that, why did you take a whole day?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Pan Die gritted her teeth in frustration. She had made lunch reservations, Lin Tian didn’t show, and it was a hassle to go back to the hotel, so she waited all afternoon, only to end up being misunderstood as hooking up!
Such a huge misunderstanding!
