Chapter 92: I'm so eager to improve!
Chapter 92: I'm so eager to improve!
Li Xirui was dressed very casually today, with a touch of sexiness.
But this isn't actually her usual style. Her usual style is mainly "cool" and leans more towards androgynous.
Today, she wore a pink and white color-blocked slip dress, with simple light makeup on her face, revealing her fair calves and showcasing a different kind of charm.
"Wow, you're dressed very femininely today!"
As soon as Li Xirui got into the car, Li Mo looked at her outfit and became curious about it.
This outfit is quite rare to see on her!
"Nonsense, when am I not a woman? It's just that your eyes are always on other women and you can't see me."
Li Xirui opened her mouth to refute, but Li Mo didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that there was a hint of jealousy in Li Xirui's words.
Li Mo's feeling was correct; Li Xirui did harbor some degree of jealousy towards Reba.
You know, they both joined the company at the same time, but what happened to them?
Regardless of how well Dilraba is doing, at least she's constantly getting casts and making her presence felt; who knows, one of her roles might just become a hit.
But what about me? I'm still stuck at the company, and I haven't even been in a team yet.
What's even more unsettling is that she just casually found a boyfriend and now things are going so well for her.
Is the difference between people really that big?
Although they are sisters, it is precisely because they are sisters that she has the most direct experience of Dilraba's changes.
You know, it's the sisters who tear each other apart the most fiercely.
Li Xirui thought that if things continued like this, the gap between him and Reba might widen.
Even on that day, will we still be proud to have been friends with Hotba?
The thought of all this made it hard for her to accept…
After seeing Reba's new home last time, Li Xirui's feeling grew stronger and stronger. She even suspected that Reba's improved resources might be related to Li Mo.
After all, in terms of timing, the time when Reba recovered was too close to the time when she was with Li Mo.
From the moment we joined the cast of "Swords of Legends" until now...
However, it wouldn't be accurate to say that she's currently planning to steal someone else's boyfriend.
After all, she hasn't experienced the harsh realities of society yet. Her current idea is to follow the example of Reba and see if she can find a similar high-quality stock within the company.
However... it hasn't been found yet.
"That's because I had no taste. Alright, buckle up, let's go."
Li Xirui knew when to stop and didn't say anything more, but her gaze towards Li Mo became increasingly moist.
After getting on the bus, this is what happened when she saw Li Mo.
She had a feeling that Li Mo today seemed different from the Li Mo she had met last time.
She's really good-looking.
He's not the kind of greasy, stereotypical handsome, but rather the kind of charmingly handsome.
Zhang Yunlong in the company is the kind of handsome but lacking in substance, the kind of handsome that's somewhat stereotypical. But Li Mo gives off a different vibe now.
He has a unique style that gives people a very comfortable feeling. Even if you don't know him, it's hard for you to feel wary or hostile towards him.
Very charming, very attractive.
However, this only made Li Xirui feel more frustrated. The better Li Mo was, the harder it was for her to find someone with the same style. The harder it was to find someone with the same style, the more she envied Reba. The more she envied Reba, the more frustrated she felt...
This was clearly a vicious cycle. Li Xirui suddenly felt a little annoyed, her brows furrowed, and she stopped talking.
It's true that you can't compare people!
Li Mo noticed the changes in Li Xirui.
But he really didn't understand what was wrong.
One second they're joking around and chatting happily online, the next they meet and barely exchange a few words before this happens...
Anyone would be bewildered.
But since she wasn't his woman, he simply ignored her and focused on driving.
Li Mo remained silent. The more Li Xirui looked at Li Mo, the angrier she became, so she simply stopped looking and turned to look out the window.
Although this is after get off work hours, life isn't just about work, and many people still come out for a stroll to relax.
Some brought their girlfriends, some brought their children, and of course, some brought their pets instead of their children or partners.
Actually, Li Xirui saw these scenes every day, so they weren't anything new to her. But today, she was particularly engrossed in watching them.
Especially when you see two small dogs fighting and biting each other over territory on the roadside...
A thought she shouldn't have had suddenly popped into her head: since she couldn't find it... then maybe...
She didn't originally have this idea; or perhaps more accurately, she just hadn't thought of it at the time, but deep down she wasn't opposed to it.
So when she had this idea, her worries suddenly disappeared.
"Pfft..."
Seeing this, Li Xirui's mood inexplicably improved again, while Li Mo, standing to the side, was truly dumbfounded; this was just too unpredictable.
There's a saying that's true: a woman's temper changes faster than turning the pages of a book!
The restaurant Li Mo booked this time was a Hunan cuisine restaurant located near the Workers' Stadium.
The restaurant has good reviews online, and the environment is also quite nice, with a rustic style decor and a lot of wooden structures.
Of course, for Li Mo, this restaurant also did a good job of maintaining privacy, mainly serving guests in private rooms.
When the two arrived, it was almost dark, right when the customer flow was high after get off work.
Li Mo and his companion pushed open the door and entered; a waiter greeted them.
"Sir, how many are in your party?"
"It's reserved, room 333."
"Okay, this way please."
Led by a waiter, Li Mo walked through the lobby and arrived at a private room by the window upstairs.
They ordered several signature dishes and specially asked for a pot of tea, because Li Mo thoughtfully assumed that the other person was on their period.
Otherwise, those emotions wouldn't come in waves. I can't drink alcohol or anything cold during my period, so I'll just drink tea.
After the tea was served, Li Mo asked the waiter to leave, leaving only Li Mo and Li Xirui in the private room.
"How have you been lately? I heard a new movie has started filming?"
Li Mo poured her a cup of tea and spoke first.
"You're really well-informed. Yes, it's called 'The Wife's Secret'."
Li Xirui took the teacup. "There's a traitor in Jiaxing, and you, an outsider, know so much about it."
"Hey, what kind of secret is that?"
Li Mo paused, then looked at Li Xirui, "Did you not get selected? Is that why you're in a bad mood? It's okay if you didn't get selected, as long as you tried your best. I have high hopes for you, and the company will definitely have plans for you in the future."
Li Mo had clearly misunderstood something and wanted to comfort Li Xirui.
"Thank you. That was indeed the reason when we were in the car, but I feel much better now that you're with me."
Although the company is currently casting for this role, she hasn't lost her chance yet; in fact, you could say her chances are quite good.
But Li Xirui had no intention of explaining at all. She spoke evasively, and her expression showed some grievance and disappointment.
Li Mo frowned, unsure of what to say.
He wasn't feeling sorry for Li Xirui; everyone in this industry goes through this phase. If that's what deserves pity, then Li Mo is being too lenient. If he wanted to help everyone, he couldn't possibly help everyone.
So, he was just hesitating about how to say what he was going to say next.
After all, she hadn't even auditioned for the role, and now I have to tell her that the music video that was supposed to be hers is gone.
The thought of that scene is actually a little embarrassing...
Li Mo regretted asking her to come out this time. He should have told her over the phone; that would have been better than the awkwardness of meeting her in person.
"This trick worked!"
Seeing Li Mo's reaction, Li Xirui assumed Li Mo was falling for her act, and immediately pressed on: "Did you tell Reba that we came out on our own? Reba won't be upset, will she?"
Li Mo picked up his teacup and silently took a sip of green tea.
Li Xirui chuckled, "But judging from my own experience, I also think Reba wouldn't do that, because I wouldn't do that..."
From the joy of chatting online to the annoyance of getting on the bus, and now to the strange situation, Li Mo assured her that he had known her for so long.
I have never seen her with such a rich array of expressions and emotions.
"Be normal..."
Li Mo gave her a symbolic glare, which only elicited a playful smile from her.
"But to be honest, Reba isn't that petty, she's quite nice..."
Li Mo's meaning was very clear. Although he didn't understand the reason for Li Xirui's emotional fluctuations, he could tell that the "hot bar" Li Xirui mentioned didn't seem to be a compliment.
Give her a simple hint, a warning, indicating that she shouldn't do that.
If the other party goes any further, then Li Mo will really have to consider teaching them a lesson.
The dishes were served one after another.
The two ended their previous conversation and started talking about other things.
Li Xirui provided excellent emotional support, and she knew a lot about Jiaxing, sharing a great deal with Li Mo. Moreover, she always praised Li Mo from various angles when she spoke.
It wasn't the greasy kind, but rather the polite and gentle kind.
For example, if Li Mo pours her a cup of tea, she will say how thoughtful he is; if they chat about music, she will say how amazing he is; if they talk about the past, she will say that men who cherish the past are the most loyal.
Uh, Li Mo doesn't agree with this last one!
After all, finding multiple girlfriends is Li Mo's ultimate motivation; otherwise, if it were just for making a living, Li Mo could be considering retirement by now.
It's very simple. Take advantage of this time to do more commercial performances, get more gigs and variety shows, make a killing off the fans, and then just retire.
However, it is because of this grand ambition in his heart that Li Mo has been able to keep striving for improvement; the current Li Mo is not yet qualified.
As they chatted, Li Mo steered the conversation back to work, which piqued Li Xirui's curiosity.
"By the way, what have you been busy with lately?"
Now that "The Voice of China" has ended, Li Mo definitely needs work now.
So Li Xirui was quite curious about what kind of jobs Li Mo could get now, although she knew in her heart that whatever they were, they were all beyond her reach.
"Release an album, and then...make a movie!"
"Your album is starting soon? When... Don't forget what you promised me..." Li Xirui was genuinely excited when she talked about this.
When Li Mo heard her say that, his chopsticks paused for a moment:
"Xi Rui, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."
In a good mood, Li Xirui gestured for Li Mo to speak boldly: "Go ahead and say it. What can't you tell me? Besides, you can be my next boss!"
"I might not be able to be your boss!" Li Mo put some food on her plate and then explained:
"It's like this, the budget for this album is insufficient, so we might not be able to shoot that many music videos. I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I came to tell you in person specifically."
After Li Mo finished speaking, Li Xirui's subsequent performance was exemplary!
Following her initial joy, then her subsequent frustration, and the recent casual conversation, Li Xirui then demonstrated extreme restraint to Li Mo.
She really... really wants to improve!
She was taken aback for a moment, then immediately resumed her smile.
"Hey, what do you take me for? You brought me to film a music video, and now that something went wrong, I'm blaming you? What kind of person do you think I am? Seriously..."
Hearing Li Xirui say this, Li Mo felt relieved, realizing that he hadn't known Li Xirui well enough before.
Actually, she's quite sensible, a bit like Li Yitong...
"Did Dilraba act in it?"
"I acted it out, uh..."
As soon as Li Mo relaxed, Li Xirui abruptly changed the subject and launched a counterattack.
"Oh, I was just asking. I already know even if you don't tell me, since you're all on the same side."
As an outsider, why am I always comparing myself to others? But I just can't help but compare... really...
In fact, Li Xirui was not in a good mood at first, but he suppressed it. Since what was lost could not be recovered, he could not afford to lose any more.
Moreover, she just said that she is different from Dilraba, and that she only cares about her brother, so she can't go back on her word.
Therefore, she had to use a tactful approach to express her grievances to Li Mo without ruining her public image.
"Okay, okay, let's leave this topic behind. Let's not let it affect our meal today."
Li Xirui knew when to stop, expressing her grievances and immediately changing the subject.
Let Li Mo reflect on his own! Hmph!
"it is good."
"By the way, you just said you're going to act in movies? That's quite a leap for you. Shouldn't you be focusing on your music career?"
Li Xirui is absolutely right. We're not in an era where popularity is everything anymore; people still value the quality of the work itself.
Logically speaking, in today's Chinese entertainment industry, only top-tier singers generally have the opportunity to change their image.
For example: Zhou Naicha, Chen Yixun, etc.
Li Mo has not made a breakthrough in her acting career, nor has she reached the top in her singing career, so it is generally impossible for her to have access to top-tier film resources.
After all, in the Chinese entertainment industry, the big screen is the most prestigious, at least for the next ten years.
"It was fate. Actually, my original plan was to focus on music first, but director Han Han extended an invitation to me."
This statement contained a lot of information, and Li Mo still surprised Li Xirui.
She doesn't even have the resources to act now, while others have already made it in the film industry.
"You...you really are always unpredictable!" Li Xirui clicked his tongue in amazement.
Before I knew it, he was playing the third male lead in "Swords of Legends". Then, before I knew it, he won "The Voice of China". Now, before I knew it, he's acting in a movie.
It's still by Han Han!
