    Wang Jing came out of Lin Youlun's office and happened to meet Lin Zhiling who was returning from copying a document.

    Lin Zhiling glanced in the direction of Lin Youlun's office, then turned to look at Wang Jing with some sympathy.

    "Director Wang, are you okay?"

    Wang Jing took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighing softly.

    ¡°I barely passed the test.¡±

    After such a thing happened, Lin Zhiling was curious about how Wang Jing planned to end it, but looking at Wang Jing's angry expression, she probably had been scolded by Lin Youlun just now, so she had no intention of adding salt to his wounds.

    "Director Wang, walk slowly."

    Wang Jing forced a smile on his face and nodded towards Lin Zhiling. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

    "Director Wang, is there anything else?"

    "UmMs. Lin, are you free this afternoon?"

    "This afternoon?" Lin Zhiling's beautiful eyes showed a hint of confusion.

    "I would like to invite Miss Lin to have afternoon tea with me."

    Facing Wang Jing¡¯s sudden invitation, Lin Zhiling couldn¡¯t react.

    "Director Wang, is there something wrong with you?"

    The expression on Wang Jing¡¯s face froze at first, then he smiled awkwardly after his intention was discovered.

    "I do have something I want to ask Miss Lin. I wonder if Miss Lin is willing to do it for me?"

    Lin Zhiling had a look on her face, "Can't you say it here?"

    Wang Jing glanced in the direction of Lin Youlun's office and shook his head firmly.

    Seeing Wang Jing¡¯s reaction, Lin Zhiling¡¯s eyes showed an expression of relief.

    "Okay, I have a day off this afternoon!"

    ¡°Then we¡¯ll contact you later.¡±

    Wang Jing made a phone call gesture to Lin Zhiling. When he walked into the elevator, he felt much more relaxed. As long as Lin Zhiling agreed to keep the appointment, half of the task assigned to him by Lin Youlun would be completed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At the corner of Stanley Street, Central.  Two beautiful women wearing sunglasses got out of a black Maserati sports car.

    "How come Wang Jing is also a famous director in Hong Kong, why would he choose to treat you to afternoon tea here?"

    Li Jiaxin closed the car door and walked towards Lin Zhiling who was waiting aside, carrying her newly bought bag.

    Lin Chiling stepped forward and took Li Jiaxin¡¯s arm, ¡°Lu Yu Teahouse is also very famous. When I was studying in Canada, a classmate from Hong Kong recommended this restaurant to me. They said that you can eat the most authentic Cantonese snacks in Hong Kong here.¡±

    "Your classmate didn't lie to you. This restaurant has always maintained the original taste and the most antique traditional decoration and hospitality style of Hong Kong restaurants. The tables, chairs, benches, ceiling fans, wall clocks, and cashier counters inside all maintain the style of the 1930s and 1940s.  It has a unique style, and the private rooms on the second and third floors also have original works of Chinese painting masters Allen used to like to come to this restaurant to drink tea, and I even accompanied him here twice."

    "Wouldn't it be a great honor for me to have Dame Li as my companion?" Lin Zhiling covered her mouth and chuckled.

    Li Jiaxin glared at her angrily.  "Okay, stop joking around and leave quickly, otherwise you will be recognized."

    Although the two of them were wearing sunglasses, they couldn't stop the graceful charm in their gestures, and they stopped by the roadside.  In a short period of time, it has attracted the attention of many pedestrians.

    Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Zhiling took Li Jiaxin and walked into the restaurant opposite they were just talking about.

    As soon as they entered the door, a waiter came forward to greet them warmly. Knowing that they were here for an appointment, he directly invited them to a private room on the second floor.

    When the compartment door was pushed open, Wang Jing was raising his hand to look at his watch and saw Lin Zhiling walking in.  He quickly stood up from his seat.

    Before she could say the welcome words, her eyes fell on the person behind Lin Zhiling, and she was stunned there, speechless for a long time.

    "Director Wang, Reis happened to ask me to go shopping today, and we also agreed to go to the gym together in the evening. You don't mind if I bring her here with me, right?"

    The smile on Wang Jing's face became a little stiff. He originally asked Lin Zhiling to have afternoon tea because he wanted to talk to her about it alone.  Now that there is an extra Li Jiaxin, how could he not mind?

    Wang Jing was thinking about how to speak, but Li Jiaxin curled her lips at Lin Zhiling.

    ¡°It seems like Director Wang doesn¡¯t welcome me very much, otherwise I¡¯d better leave first!¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jing had already stepped forward and stopped at the door.

    "Reis. We are all acquaintances, so stop making such jokes. If you leave today??Do I still have the nerve to see Allen in the future?  "

    Li Jiaxin and Wang Jing actually only collaborated once in the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". The relationship between the two is not very close, but since Wang Jing has already asked to stay, she will certainly not be so disrespectful, let alone Lin Chiling.  Still standing aside.

    Seeing that Li Jiaxin no longer mentioned leaving, Wang Jing quickly asked the two of them to sit down, then called the waiter and ordered a few more special snacks.

    During this period, Wang Jing's mind was not idle. He was thinking that the main purpose of Lin Zhiling bringing Li Jiaxin here was to avoid suspicion. This was something he had not considered before. Fortunately, it was Li Jiaxin who came. If it were to be replaced by Zhou Huimin or Wang Zuxian, what would happen?  But it¡¯s hard to do.

    Before Wang Jing could think of how to speak, Lin Zhiling spoke first.

    "Director Wang, you said before that you wanted to ask me for help if you have something, can you do it now?"

    "I wonder if Ms. Lin is interested in acting in a movie?"

    Wang Jing asked this question very suddenly. Lin Zhiling and Li Jiaxin, who were sitting opposite, were both stunned.

    After a while, Lin Zhiling realized that Wang Jing was still waiting for her answer.

    "Director Wang, are you kidding?"

    Wang Jing shook his head seriously.

    "This" Lin Zhiling looked confused, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.

    Li Jiaxin suddenly interjected: "Director Wang is planning to cast Zhiling as the protagonist in his new film? But how did I hear that you have promised in front of the media that as long as one of your favorite Hong Kong contestants is finally elected as the champion, you will ask her to be the female lead in the new film?  Protagonist, why did you change your mind again?"

    Wang Jing's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Li Jiaxin's words were not meant well, but he had to answer because Lin Zhiling's eyes followed him.  Apparently she was wondering about this too.

    "No, no, what I'm talking about is not the same movie."

    Li Jiaxin was quite satisfied with this answer. She nodded to indicate that she had no problem and asked Wang Jing to continue.

    Lin Zhiling had already made up her mind to refuse at this time.  No matter which movie Wang Jing is talking about, it is somewhat inappropriate for her to participate in it. After all, her job is as Lin Youlun's assistant and not as an actor.

    "Director Wang, I"

    "Ms. Lin, don't be too busy refusing, just listen to what I have to say."

    Wang Jing saw some clues from Lin Zhiling's eyes and expressions.  He interrupted her before she could refuse.

    "There have been rumors in the Hong Kong media some time ago that "The Hangover 2" will be the last movie Allen will star in. At that time, I asked Allen to confirm this. Although he did not have a very definite answer, he did.  I plan to do this before he bids farewell to the screen. I will be the director and he will star in a movie. After all, he and I are good friends and brothers who have known each other for so many years. This can be regarded as a souvenir."

    "But didn't Director Wang say that the movie was rejected by Mr. Lin?" Lin Chiling couldn't help but interjected.

    "Yes, Allen refused, but that was because he felt that the script I provided was not suitable, and he later wrote a script himself. Then Miss Lin must have heard about that movie"

    When Wang Jing said this, Lin Zhiling immediately guessed the answer.

    "Director Wang is talking about "Iron Man"?"

    Wang Jing nodded, "Yes, that's the movie."

    Lin Zhiling only felt a little weird. At first, she persuaded Lin Youlun not to reject Wang Jing so directly, but she didn't expect that Wang Jing would now become the lobbyist, and she would become the one who had to be persuaded.

    Li Jiaxin was also very upset when she heard the news.

    In a movie starring Lin Youlun, Wang Jing actually asked Lin Chiling to be the heroine. What does this mean?

    No matter what Wang Jing¡¯s intentions were, Li Jiaxin was really jealous at this moment.  She and Lin Youlun have never acted together in a single movie. They only collaborated once in "Love Call Transfer", and Lin Chiling actually became the heroine directly.

    "Director Wang, are you too biased? Since this is Allen's last movie, how about giving me a role?"

    Li Jiaxin¡¯s intention in saying this.  How could Wang Jing not understand, but it was Lin Youlun's intention to let Lin Chiling play the heroine, and there was nothing he could do about it.

    "Reis, you really misunderstood me when you said that. It's not that I don't want to find you, but the heroine in this movie is a little special. She is the assistant of the hero. I don't think she really has the chance to play this role.  Who can be more suitable than Miss Lin?"

    With Wang Jing¡¯s explanation, Li Jiaxin couldn¡¯t question anything, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

    Lin Zhiling at this time?I was also a little undecided, so I asked: "Is this Director Wang's intention or Mr. Lin's intention?"

    "Of course that's what I meant." Wang Jing replied without hesitation.

    Hearing this, Li Jiaxin¡¯s expression improved slightly, while Lin Zhiling became even more hesitant.

    "Of course I have already told Allen about this, and he agreed." Wang Jing added.

    Li Jiaxin's face changed several times, but she finally put away her little thoughts and stopped asking Wang Jing to arrange a role for her. Lin Zhiling also realized that without Lin Youlun's instruction, Wang Jing would probably not be like this.  He came to him directly, and his heart became even more entangled.

    "If it's what Director Wang said, I think you can give it a try." Li Jiaxin's mind changed quickly. After realizing that she couldn't compete with Lin Chiling for this role, she immediately changed her attitude and began to persuade Lin Chiling to accept the role.  .

    This way, on the one hand, Lin Youlun can know that she is well-behaved and sensible, and on the other hand, Wang Jing can owe her a favor, which can be said to be a double win.

    Although Wang Jing couldn't figure out why Li Jiaxin's attitude changed so quickly, he had to express his kindness in the face of Li Jiaxin's release. He said on the spot that he could arrange a guest role for Li Jiaxin in "Iron Man".

    After Li Jiaxin "changed sides", Lin Zhiling couldn't bear Wang Jing's hard persuasion, and finally agreed.
