“I got the invite at the last minute, and I already expected that your schedule would be full. I just wanted to try my luck,” Lu Man said with a smile.
“What time are you filming on Friday? I’ll see if I can rush over,” Liu Chuanhui said.
“No, no,” Lu Man hurriedly said. “Don’t rush so much because of me. I’ll go and ask Zhang Jian again.”
“Alright. If you really can’t find anyone, tell me. No matter what, I would rush over,” Liu Chuanhui said.
Just with that sentence of his, Lu Man was already very touched.
After hanging up, Lu Man was planning to thicken her skin and seek out Zhang Shuidong when Zhang Jian returned her phone call.
“Lu Man, what is it? I was just filming a scene, so my phone was on silent mode. We just finished filming and I saw your phone call,” Zhang Jian hurriedly explained.
When Lu Man heard that Zhang Jian was with the production crew now, she knew he would definitely not be able to help her; it would be too rushed.
“It’s nothing much. I didn’t know you were with the production group,” Lu Man said, then simply explained.
“Is that it? I’ll take leave from the production group,” Zhang Jian instantly said.
“Please don’t,” Lu Man hurriedly said.
This was a show that Zhang Jian took up himself. It was one thing if he went at the last minute for just a while, but if he had to help her and specifically ask for leave from the production group, affecting the filming progress, the one who had to take responsibility was still Zhang Jian.
“I’ll find someone else. I was just asking you first, it’s nothing,” Lu Man said.
“If you can’t find anyone, then ask me again. It’s nothing if I ask for leave for one day,” Zhang Jian said again.
“Alright, thank you so much.” Lu Man hung up.
Zhang Jian and Liu Chuanhui were very nice, but she was too embarrassed to have them go through so much trouble for her.
She thickened her skin and contacted Zhang Shuidong and Yu Yanshu, and the two of them had their own schedules filled.
But they were unlike Zhang Jian and Liu Chuanhui, who specially suggested that they take leave to help her.
Lu Man felt that this was very normal. After all, her relationship with them was not as good as her relationship with Zhang Jian and Liu Chuanhui.
Hu Zhonghui was very worried and tugged on her hair. “How about you ask Young Master Han for help? With one word from him, even if you wanted to have Gao Zishan as your guest actor, it’s all possible.”
Lu Man rested her jaw on her hand, nodding her head, troubled. “I can only do that.”
But not Gao Zishan. Asking for an international best actress awardee, that was too scary.
She did not think that after being troubled about this, she still had to ask Han Zhuoli for help.
There was no need to rush to look for Han Zhuoli. She just needed to wait for him to come home at night to tell him so as not to disrupt his work.
Right now, Lu Man and Hu Zhonghui started to make a new list. Whether Lu Man knew them or not, as long as Han Zhuoli knew them, it was fine.
The range increased.
Lu Man was discussing the name list with Hu Zhonghui when Lu Man’s phone rang.
Lu Man picked it up to look. It was Du Lin.
Du Lin was doing very well now, having a lot of television dramas, his figure in a lot of big variety shows.
And his reputation among netizens was also very good.
“Brother Du,” Lu Man said after picking up the phone.
On the other end of the call, Du Lin said seriously, “You still know how to call me Brother Du?”
Lu Man was stunned for a moment.
What happened?
How did she offend Du Lin?
Then she heard Du Lin say, “You’re lacking a guest to invite for the Classic X Files, right? You’ve been searching around the entertainment circle but you did not know how to find me? And to think that I call you younger sister-in-law. In the end, you’re still treating me like a stranger.”
Lu Man really did not think of Du Lin at that moment and hurriedly asked, “How did you find out?”
“I’m making a guest appearance in the show Zhang Jian is filming. Today, I was with the production group and heard Zhang Jian talking about it,” Du Lin explained, then said, “After filming today, I’m leaving, and I happen to have time. Are you alright with me?”
