Chapter 31

After washing her face, she didn’t put on any makeup either, mainly because there was none at home to buy. She was very poor. She tied her hair in a ponytail, changed into a pair of white sneakers and went out.

To keep a low profile, she still habitually put on a face mask. After all, her name was still trending on the hot search.

Ji Nian took the bus then transferred to the subway. She didn’t even have time to eat breakfast and felt a little regretful. She should have bought two buns to fill her stomach. Now she was really a little hungry.

"Hey, have you seen the new TV series that came out yesterday? I read the novel when I was in middle school. I thought it would be changed drastically again but it turned out pretty good to watch." A young woman said to her friend next to her.

"Nowadays many novels are adapted into TV series. I don\'t watch them at all. The adaptations are utterly disappointing," another girl replied.

"No, no, you should go take a look. The new actress is amazing, I tell you, especially the second female lead, Shen Shuyao, the casting fits perfectly with the original novel.” The woman said excitedly.

"Really? Then I\'ll watch it tonight."

Ji Nian overheard them to the side and couldn\'t help smiling. Shen Shuyao was about to become popular. After she finished discussing the copyrights today, she would befriend this big shot and keep in touch more since they haven\'t contacted each other for many days.

Hearing the subway stop broadcast, Ji Nian checked the map on her phone and hurried off the subway hastily, fortunately she paid attention, otherwise she would have missed her stop.

At this moment, her phone WeChat notification prompted a message. She opened it to take a look. It was from Peng He:

Peng He: Ms. Ji, where are you now?

Ji Nian: Almost there, just got off the subway.

Seeing this message, Peng He froze for a moment. Did he see wrongly? Subway? The girl who was trending for buying a house actually dared to squeeze onto the subway?

"What are you dazing out for?" A doubtful voice came over. A man was dressed leisurely in sportswear, wearing a duck bill cap with his slender legs casually crossed and resting.

Peng He looked up to see the man in front of him who was surrounded by an aura of nobility despite his casual wear. His temperament was still gentle and elegant.

"I\'m just a little surprised that Ms. Ji Nian took the subway over." Peng He laughed embarrassedly.

"Oh?" Yu Luobai leaned lazily on the sofa in the private room. He had a somewhat nonchalant attitude as he fiddled with the teacup in his hand and said, "Owing so much money, it’s normal for her to squeeze onto the subway.”

Only then did Peng He remember that the girl owed 100 million yuan in damages. Of course for them this was just a small amount. But for an 18-tier star, 100 million yuan was also unattainable.

He nodded in agreement and said, "It makes sense. I heard she only has a high school diploma and used to work odd jobs outside before. Her family background is probably not well off either and now she also owes such a huge compensation fee."

Yu Luobai\'s mouth curled up slightly and he said, "I\'ve listened to her three songs, ‘Arrogant’, ‘Guest’, and ‘Ordinary Road’. The musical styles are different but they were all composed by the same mysterious composer for her. It’s interesting.”

"This mysterious person is indeed mysterious," Peng He sighed. People in the industry had also secretly tried to investigate this person but there were no clues at all.

On Ji Nian’s side, after getting off the subway, she walked a while before arriving at the hotel. She had just reached the front desk of the hotel.

After reporting Peng He’s name, she was led by the service staff to the private room door. She hesitated for a moment, thinking that they shouldn’t be scammers right.

After all, she just checked that Bvlgari Hotel’s prices were among the top in Beijing. Just a plate of snacks could be sold at almost a thousand yuan price.

Not to mention booking a private room at Bvlgari, that would be sky high prices. No scammer would be so silly...spending so much just to scam her. After thinking for a long time, she still decided to knock on the door.

Knock knock.

Hearing the knock on the door inside the room, Peng He turned his head, thinking it was the service staff, and answered aloud, “Please come in.”

Ji Nian opened the door and went in, shocked by the decoration of the private room for a moment. As expected of a famous hotel, this layout and decoration could be seen as a place for rich people to spend money.

Seeing it wasn’t a service staff member, Peng He stood up. What he saw before him was a girl with a somewhat blank face.

She was wearing a TISSOT T-shirt, white sneakers that looked like Converse, and carrying a newly released Hermes handbag. All branded stuff.

And her simple, solid colored outfit made her temperament look especially clean. Her bare face was still delicate and beautifully different.

Ji Nian was stunned as she looked at the two men in front of her and smiled awkwardly, “Hello...I’m Ji Nian, oh no, I’m Ji Nian.”

Peng He hurriedly walked over and said, "Hello, hello. I was just about to reply to your message and didn\'t expect you to arrive so quickly."

Ji Nian nodded and stuffed the face mask into the small handbag she brought with her, answering, “It was okay. I left home early in the morning and arrived just before 12.”

Peng He was startled for a moment, somewhat embarrassed, “I’m sorry, is this place too far from your home?”

Ji Nian laughed and replied, "It\'s not that it\'s far from here, but that it\'s far from the city center."

"Then you had a hard time coming all this way. Please take a seat first. I\'ve ordered the dishes, they’ll be delivered soon." Peng He quickly welcomed her to sit down.

Although Ji Nian felt a little uncomfortable, she still sat down. She found that a man who had been silent all this while was sitting opposite her. Feeling curious, she looked over.

But she was shocked by the man\'s handsome face. At this moment, her eyes were filled with sparkles as she screamed wildly in her heart that this was the first time in her life seeing such a handsome guy up close!

Seeing the woman staring blankly at him, Yu Luobai chuckled softly and said, "Hello, I’m Yu Luobai."

Ji Nian came back to her senses, feeling a little embarrassed. She was excited inside, thinking - the handsome guy\'s voice sounds nice too!

"It was Luobai this time who saw your video and asked me to contact you regarding the copyright of ‘Ordinary Road’," Peng He explained with a smile to the side.

"I see..." Ji Nian still felt a little blank, mainly because the excessively handsome face opposite her left her somewhat bewildered.

Seeing the girl\'s silly appearance, Peng He gently coughed and asked, "Ms. Ji, you specifically requested a face-to-face meeting on the phone. May I ask if there are any other issues that need to be discussed?"

Ji Nian turned her head to look at Peng He. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief inside. This was what ordinary people looked like. Yu Luobai’s face attracted too much attention, making her unable to help admiring him blindly.

"Uh...it’s nothing much really. Don’t contracts need to be signed face-to-face?" Ji Nian answered awkwardly.

Hearing the woman\'s words, Yu Luobai laughed out loud. He took off his duck bill cap and his slightly messy hair, coupled with his leisure sportswear, gave him a roguishly handsome look.

On the contrary, with the hat off, his whole face was revealed clearly. His eyes smiled at her amusedly.

"Meeting Ms. Ji for the first time, I didn\'t expect she would be such an interesting person." Yu Luobai said with a smile.

Ji Nian was startled. Was this handsome guy praising her? What should she do? She felt so excited that her whole body felt a little shy.
