Lu Zhen put on a proper smile and greeted Song Jia, who was sitting in the private room. “Sorry, I’m late.”
Song Jia looked up and Lu Zhen saw that he was wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses today. His perfect facial features made him look even more elegant and cold.
Song Jia was holding a thin black tablet in his hand. When he saw Lu Zhen, he placed the tablet in his briefcase and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “It’s fine. I just arrived.”
After Lu Zhen sat down, the dishes were quickly served. This restaurant was an authentic North Dezhou cuisine. The taste was light but delicious.
Seeing Song Jia take a bite of the steamed Wuchang fish, Lu Zhen observed his expression and asked, “How does it taste? I don’t know what you like to eat. I don’t know if it suits your taste.”
After Song Jia finished eating, he nodded politely at her. “It’s very delicious. I like it very much. I’ve troubled you, Miss Lu.”
When Song Jia looked up, he met Lu Zhen’s glass-like bright eyes. Those eyes were too bright, like burning flames, full of vital attraction. Song Jia couldn’t adapt to such an impact for a moment and subconsciously looked away.
“I’m glad you like it. I’ve always felt bad for causing trouble for you last time,
Mr. Song. We’re not in a cooperative relationship yet, so I’ll owe you a favor.”
Lu Zhen didn’t eat rice. She ate more than half of the fish and tasted a few other dishes. She calculated in her heart: Todays calories have already exceeded the limit. I have to run for another half an hour when I get back.
“Only when we have contact can we be friends. Miss Lu, you don’t have to be so polite to me.” After saying that, Song Jia thought of something and took out a few documents from his briefcase and placed them on the table. “Last time, you said that you wanted to rent a house. I helped you pay attention to a few houses. See if you’re satisfied with them.”
Lu Zhen didn’t expect Song Jia to help her find a house so seriously. She took the house information and flipped through it for a while. The houses were all very good, and the price was within Lu Zhen’s budget. Song Jia was really considerate. He even considered her financial situation.
Lu Zhen flipped through it and pointed to one of the houses. “This house is not bad, but this price is too cheap. How did you find it?”
Song Jia looked at the house and his eyes changed slightly. He said calmly, “You want this house?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
“No problem. Do you have time this afternoon? If you do, I’ll show you the house. You can sign the contract today.”
Lu Zhen had a set of street photos to shoot in the afternoon. She was very busy for the next few days. She felt that it was better to settle the house today so that she wouldn’t have to trouble Song Jia in the future.
“Sure.”
After the two of them confirmed the matter of the house, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Lu Zhen wanted to find a topic to talk about, but Song Jia suddenly said, “How many film appointments do you have in the second half of the year?”
“I’m not sure. I’m fighting for a role now. If I can settle it, I won’t be taking on any other roles in the short term. Other than filming, there’s also a variety show and a few endorsements.” Lu Zhen told Song Jia her itinerary very frankly.
“For you to fight for it, it should be a very important role.” Song Jia’s low and magnetic voice was like a cello, as if it had some kind of magic that could make people unknowingly lower their guard against him.
“The role is just a small supporting role, but it’s very important to me,” Lu Zhen explained simply. “I’m not sure if I can take it down yet, but I’ll try my best. No, I’ll risk my life.”
Song Jia smiled. His smile was always very faint, as hard to catch as the wind, but it was very stunning. “Then I look forward to your good news.”
After paying the bill, Lu Zhen and Song Jia went to the district where the house was.
This house was located in the second ring of the eastern district of Beijing. The district was called the “Galaxy Peninsula”. It was a new building developed two years ago and was also a high-end residential district in Beijing. The district had a large greenery and good security. There was a subway half a kilometer away, and the surrounding facilities were very complete.
It was the perfect house, except… she couldn’t afford it.
Lu Zhen had been sucked dry by the Lu family since she was young and had never even saved up. The money in her hands might not even be as much as the savings of an ordinary white-collar worker. It was really pitiful to think about it.
The two of them walked into the neighborhood. They didn’t see many people along the way. Because the density of the floors in the neighborhood was very low, it didn’t seem noisy, and there weren’t many people at work.
There were two rooms on the 23rd floor. Song Jia entered the password and opened the house on the left. After entering, there was the entrance and corridor. On the left was the living room, and on the right was the dining room. The living room was connected to a huge balcony..
