Chapter 63: Tangtang's Special Constitution! Lei Jun: Let's Be Friends

"Too, too tired, take a rest!"

Tang Yan reached out and patted Zhang Li on the back.

Zhang Li maintained a push-up position, his sharp, thick eyebrows raising slightly.

"You were just lying there the whole time, what is there to be tired of?"

"You don't know what makes me tired?" Tang Yan opened her mouth and gently bit the spot below Zhang Li's head and neck.

Zhang Li frowned slightly, but ultimately decided not to push his luck further. He reached out and pressed his hand against Tang Yan's red lips. "Stop biting randomly."

"You think I wanted to?" Tang Yan spread her hands and let out a sigh. "I can't handle physical pressure, I can't take pain. The moment it hurts, I tense up. Hiss~ Zhang."

"Then what happened last time?" Zhang Li turned over and lay down, pulling Tang Yan into his arms, only to find that she lacked much substance.

This woman really needed to eat more; being too thin wasn't ideal.

"Last time? Which time?" Tang Yan played dumb.

"Of course the time when big sis drank a little wine and made her move on little bro," Zhang Li confronted her directly.

"I don't remember," Tang Yan gently shook her head. "I suffer from total blackouts whenever I drink."

"Is that so?" Zhang Li leaned close to Tang Yan's ear. "Then how do you explain waking up the next day and leaving without a word?"

"If I were you, and I found out I had lost my virginity to a man, wouldn't I scream and beat him up at the very first moment?"

Tang Yan felt her body growing hot as well, turning her head away stubbornly. "Then what are you doing today? How do you justify this to Shishi?"

"I'm just exercising reciprocity," Zhang Li wasn't scared at all. "As for Shishi, since you've already handed her a cuckold's cap, I'm simply helping her fasten it securely."

"I really should record what you're saying right now and send it to her!" Tang Yan said, her teeth itching with anger.

"Then you'd truly become the wicked mistress who drove away the legal wife," Zhang Li propped his head up with one hand, staring sideways at Tang Yan.

"..." Tang Yan was temporarily at a loss for words.

"What's done is done, why dwell on it?" Zhang Li pulled Tang Yan into his embrace once again. "Let's do this position again..."

Tang Yan: "..."

More than half an hour later.

Tang Yan lapsed into a hypoxic, semi-conscious sleep.

Zhang Li tucked the quilt around her, dressed neatly, and left the room.

First, he ran up to the rooftop restaurant to book a candlelight dinner private room, and then took the elevator to the floor etched in his memory.

"Still ten minutes left, I came too early."

Zhang Li pulled out his phone, preparing to browse online and see what gossip was trending.

[Yang Mi stole vegetables in your Happy Farm ten times, Game Talent +1, Liberation of Nature +1]

Zhang Li: "..."

This woman was clearly away with the film crew; how did she have so much energy?

"Considering it increases my game talent, I won't argue with you."

"From now on, legends of the online gaming world shall include me."

Zhang Li logged into Happy Farm, harvested his crops, and then began secretly stealing from others.

When he reached Yang Mi and Cai Wenjing's farms, he deliberately released bugs into them, purely driven by malicious mischief.

"Buzz~"

His phone vibrated, and the caller ID showed Jing Tian.

"Hello, Senior." Zhang Li answered the call.

"Junior, I heard you secured a supporting role in *The Message*?" Jing Tian asked, knowing the answer already.

She knew that men all had their pride, and the more outstanding a man was, the stronger his pride.

Therefore, she had no intention of mentioning that she was the one who had Lu Zheng help Zhang Li secure the role.

What she was thinking right now was that Zhang Li must be feeling quite good about landing the part.

Since she took the initiative to contact him, he ought to share this joy with her.

Ideally, he would invite her out to dinner alone, giving her a chance to subtly exploit the situation.

"Senior, your news travels so fast. I auditioned in the morning, signed the contract in the afternoon, and you already knew by evening." Zhang Li immediately offered a flattering remark.

"Quite a few people in the industry are paying attention to this matter, so it's normal that I know. Originally, I wanted to audition too; my agency invested in this film, but unfortunately, there wasn't a suitable role for me," Jing Tian expressed her regret.

Hearing this, Zhang Li's eyes flickered, and a hint of hopeful anticipation crept into his voice. "Senior, can your agency have a say in the production crew, then?"

"We can sway things a bit. Why?" Jing Tian asked, puzzled.

The tone of Zhang Li's voice made her feel something was amiss.

"You have no idea." Zhang Li's tone was conflicted, and he finally seemed to make up his mind. "When I went to sign the contract, Vice President Wang of Huayi said this role was given to me by him, and he even hinted... You know Huang Xiaoming, right?"

Jing Tian: ???

Vice President Wang had set his sights on Zhang Li and was even trying to steal her, Jing Tian's, credit!

"He's full of crap!" Jing Tian could no longer maintain her poise and cursed furiously. "You getting this role has not a damn thing to do with him."

"Ah?" Zhang Li wondered, "But Huayi is the biggest investor, and Vice President Wang does have decision-making power. How could it have nothing to do with him?"

"You were able to secure this role because... your own acting skills are good!" Jing Tian almost blurted out the truth, but fortunately caught herself at the last second. "The boss of my agency is my uncle, and he even praised you to me."

"He even showed me your audition video and told me to learn from you."

"You being able to get this role has nothing to do with Vice President Wang."

"Really?" Zhang Li replied with feigned pleasant surprise. "Thank you, Senior, for letting me know. This way, I won't have to walk around feeling so uneasy and uncomfortable."

"If you're free, how about I treat you to dinner?"

"Alright, I'll wait for you to ask me out," Jing Tian readily agreed.

After chatting a bit more, she hung up the phone, her facial expression shifting continuously.

This Vice President Wang of Huayi actually had the nerve to steal her credit and lie to her junior.

This was utterly intolerable!

"Uncle," Jing Tian called Lu Zheng.

"What is it, Tiantian?" Lu Zheng was now somewhat afraid of Jing Tian calling him.

He always felt it would bring him pressure, or even trouble.

"Do you have any dirt on Vice President Wang of Huayi?" A brilliant smile bloomed on Jing Tian's face, though her eyes turned somewhat chilly.

Lu Zheng: "..."

I knew my intuition was right.

Meanwhile, standing by the corridor window, Zhang Li swept his gaze across and saw three people approaching from the other end of the hallway.

The middle-aged man walking in the middle was wearing jeans and casual attire, giving off an approachable, scholarly vibe. His hair was neat and orderly, his demeanor extremely capable, and his deep eyes seemed to conceal wisdom along with a somewhat reserved emotional undertone.

Confirming this was the connection he had foreseen, Zhang Li immediately walked over and naturally stepped into the same elevator with the three of them.

"Huh?"

Just as one of them finished pressing the button for the first floor, the expression on Zhang Li's face shifted slightly.

"This elevator isn't right, get out quickly."

As he spoke, Zhang Li grabbed the lead middle-aged man and pulled him out of the elevator.

The other two looked somewhat bewildered, but still followed them out.

"Clang!"

The elevator doors closed and it slowly began its descent from the seventeenth floor.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man asked in confusion, "Young brother..."

Screech!

Just as the middle-aged man was about to ask something, a harsh scraping sound suddenly echoed from beside them.

He jerked his head up and watched the elevator floor numbers leap frantically. One second it was on the sixteenth floor, the next it became the twelfth, then the seventh, and finally stopped at the fourth floor, where the floor display turned into horizontal bars.

The screeching sound vanished.

However, the three middle-aged men instinctively sucked in a breath of cold air.

This elevator had actually malfunctioned and plummeted at extreme speed.

Judging by the circumstances, it seemed it hadn't crashed, making an emergency brake at the fourth floor.

But that was with nobody inside the elevator. What if the four of them had been inside it?!

Would it have crashed?!

At this thought, the middle-aged man looked at Zhang Li with eyes full of gratitude and extended his hand. "Young brother, you saved my life."

"My name is Lei Jun. Shall we become friends?"
