After the man named Zhao Yu left, Jiang Baiwan was nervous for a while, but after a long time, he never came to the door again. Jiang Baiwan was relieved and put the matter behind her, but at the same time, she had doubts in her mind—— She felt that Luo Xiao’s arrival that day was too much of a coincidence.

It’s just that there was no evidence and it wasn’t easy for Jiang Baiwan to doubt Luo Xiao, after all, the other party helped her. She can only put this matter aside for the time being and run her own small Malatang shop properly.

On this day, Jiang Baiwan was still helping in the shop. Because of the weather today, there were not many customers, so Jiang Baiwan hanged out in the kitchen, giving Wei Dao a hand while joking around with the old man. Wei Dao had already rolled his eyes several times. “Aren’t you very free today? If you are, then go out and play games, go quickly, go quickly.”

“Aren’t I helping you?” Jiang Baiwan looked at Wei Dao sheepishly. “Two is better than one.”

“It’s enough if you just don’t make trouble for me.” Wei Dao said bluntly. “All right, get out. I’m not so old that I can’t even control the kitchen.”

Jiang Baiwan could only go out resentfully. But before she could sit down, someone pushed open the door.

“Welcome.” Jiang Baiwan said smoothly while the person who came in smiled. “Hey, isn’t this Miss Jiang?”

Jiang Baiwan looked at the other person suspiciously. She saw that the man was already sitting at a table, wearing sunglasses that covered most of his face, but just from the exposed jaw, it could be seen that he was a handsome looking man.

“Mr. Li?” Jiang Baiwan recognized him immediately. “You’re Mr. Li?”

The person who came was none other than actor Li Huacheng. He was dressed casually and seemed to be out for a stroll. Li Huacheng smiled at Jiang Baiwan and made a quiet gesture. Jiang Baiwan immediately understood. “Mr. Li, why did you come to my shop today?”

“I just came out of Ji Chen’s office and have nothing else to do so I thought I’d have something to eat.” Li Huacheng said. “I didn’t expect that this shop is actually owned by you.”

Jiang Baiwan was very proud. “I’m not boasting about my Malatang, it’s really one of the best. What are you having, Mr. Li? May I recommend a newly launched set menu? Don’t worry, I always offer 20% discount to all acquaintances.”

The corners of Li Huacheng’s mouth couldn’t help twitching. “……When Ji Chen comes here to eat, you give him a 20% discount too?”

“Ji Chen is different from you.” Jiang Baiwan said without hesitation. “He’s 40% off.”

Li Huacheng: “……”

In the end, Mr. Movie King still endured the humiliation and bought a bowl of Malatang with a 20% discount. While Wei Dao was cooking the food, Li Huacheng couldn’t help grumbling to Jiang Baiwan, “I’m at least a movie king, but even I can’t compare to a bowl of Malatang.”

“It’s a small business, Mr. Li.” Jiang Baiwan didn’t think there was anything wrong with being stingy at all. “You make more than all of us do in a month just by taking on a movie or a TV series.”

Li Huacheng’s mood became better after being secretly praised by Jiang Baiwan. His brows lifted as he looked at Jiang Baiwan. “That’s right, my new movie is about to be released and I happen to have two tickets left here.”

After saying that, Li Huacheng took out two tickets from his pocket. While handing them to Jiang Baiwan, he said, “I’ll give it to you. Just ask someone to accompany you to see it sometime.”

“Oh, your new movie is coming out?” Jiang Baiwan lowered her voice a little to avoid attracting other’s attention. “What type of movie is it? Romance? Or is it some kind of action film?”

Li Huacheng smiled without saying a word and just handed the movie ticket to Jiang Baiwan. Jiang Baiwan took it over and saw a few large characters written on it—— 《Killing You is for Your Own Good》.

Jiang Baiwan: “……Why do I think this is a horror movie?”

“That’s right, it’s a horror movie.” Li Huacheng laughed loudly. “And I can guarantee that it can scare you to the point of crying.”

“So confident?” Jiang Baiwan finally accepted the movie ticket. “Thank you, I’ll definitely go see it.”

Li Huacheng nodded. At this time, the Malatang was ready and was served up. Through the steam coming from the bowl, Li Huacheng smiled with his eyes. “Remember to find a friend to watch it together, otherwise…… I’m afraid you’ll be so frightened inside the movie theater that you won’t be able to move.”

He said it in such a vivid detail, was it really that scary? Jiang Baiwan was full of doubts. She put away the movie tickets and said seriously, “Okay, I will pay attention to my personal safety.”

Li Huacheng looked at Jiang Baiwan’s thoughtful appearance, quickly finished the bowl of Malatang, then bid farewell to Jiang Baiwan. After walking out of the small shop, Li Huacheng stood on the street and glanced at the Haochen Building not far away.

——Ji Chen, this is all your buddy can do for you.

After Li Huacheng left, Jiang Baiwan put the ticket in her pocket. It wasn’t until after she got home in the evening that the movie ticket fell out from the pocket of her coat did she remembered about it.

Jiang Baiwan picked it up from the ground and looked at the obviously discordant movie title. Jiang Baiwan began to think about who to call to see the movie.

In fact, it’s not that she couldn’t go to the movie on her own…… Jiang Baiwan used to do this a lot in her previous life. She would always buy the middle seat, and it was a lot of fun to sit there alone.

“But it’s better not to waste it, after all, it’s a kind gesture from someone.” Jiang Baiwan sighed—— But who should she call?

At this time, Jiang Baiwan suddenly realized that even though it had been a while since she came to this world, her friends were pitifully few. After scratching her head for a long time, Jiang Baiwan tried to send Tan Mi a WeChat message: Are you free on Saturday? How about going to the movies together?

Tan Mi seems to have finished work and replied quickly: No.

The refusal was extremely crisp. Jiang Baiwan clutched the phone and sighed deeply. She was just about to see if there’s anyone else she could ask when Tan Mi’s call came through.

“Why did you suddenly think of asking me to go to the movies?” Tan Mi was curious. “What movie is it?”

Jiang Baiwan quickly took the opportunity to promote, “Movie King Li Huacheng’s 《Killing You is for Your Own Good》. It’s the latest horror film. I just searched for the trailer and watched it, and it seems to be pretty good.”

“Ah, Li Huacheng.” Tan Mi said in voice with a hint of playfulness. “He’s very good at picking scripts and the movies he makes have always been popular. This time should be good too. It’s just…… I still can’t go with you. The crew has been very busy these past days that I don’t even have time to sleep, much less go to the movies with you.”

Once again, Jiang Baiwan’s hope was dashed. “Then it’s over, am I destined to go alone?”

“Hey, why don’t you ask Ji Chen?” Tan Mi said suddenly. “He should be very tense at work and it feels good to watch a horror movie once in a while to decompress.”

Jiang Baiwan was startled and then began to hesitate. “I’ll invite a company president to go to the cinema? Won’t that be too casual……?”

Tan Mi laughed. “How will you know if it will work if you don’t give it a try? Besides, Ji Chen, that person, just looks serious, but you’ve known him for so long, don’t you know what kind of person he is?”

That made sense. Jiang Baiwan said in a low voice, “Then…… then I’ll go ask Ji Chen?”

“Up to you. I just made a suggestion.” Tan Mi did not care one way or another. “I still have night scenes to shoot, so I’ll hang up first.”

Tan Mi didn’t wait for Jiang Baiwan’s answer before she simply hung up. Holding her phone, she looked at Li Huacheng across from her, and said with a half-smile on her face, “Since when did you become interested in being a matchmaker for others?”

“It’s just a slight push behind the scenes. Compared to being a matchmaker, I actually want to watch Ji Chen make a joke of himself.” Li Huacheng smiled gently, but the words he said were full of mischief. “I would also like to thank Miss Tan for helping me.”

Tan Mi had a happy expression. “It’s no trouble at all. Then I’ll have to trouble Mr. Li with the audition for that next film.”

Jiang Baiwan had no idea about the shady deal Tan Mi had reached with Li Huacheng behind her back. After she hung up the phone, she still hesitated for a long time before sending Ji Chen a WeChat message—— I have two movie tickets here that someone gave me. Are you free on Saturday? Shall we go to the movies?

Ji Chen was sitting in the office, listening to Assistant Xu’s report, when his cell phone suddenly dinged. He picked it up to take a look and saw Jiang Baiwan’s message asking him to go to see a movie.

“……”

……Watching a movie? Him and Jiang Baiwan?

Ji Chen was in a daze for a while, but the sharp-eyed assistant Xu had already read the message on Ji Chen’s phone clearly. Assistant Xu instantly became anxious and he went on to say, “President Ji, there’s no work schedule on Saturday. There’s only a meeting that’s not very urgent and can be postponed for later.”

Ji Chen’s hands shook and directly placed the phone back on the table. After a moment of silence, he said, “Then push it back a day.”

Assistant Xu heaved a sigh of relief and a smile came to his face. “President Ji, Miss Jiang is still waiting for your reply.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen picked up his phone again. After he quickly replied to Jiang Baiwan, his brows became furrowed and he asked Assistant Xu, “Watching a movie…… What do I need to bring?”

“Miss Jiang should be asking you to a regular movie theater.” Assistant Xu gave his suggestion, “Just pick up Miss Jiang on Saturday and then buy her a bucket of popcorn and drinks. Miss Jiang will be pleased.”

Ji Chen nodded. “All right. Go and make the arrangements.”

Assistant Xu complied and headed out, but just as he reached the door, Ji Chen suddenly called out to him again.

The president of Haochen Group, who had always been fierce and decisive, seems to be a bit awkward at this moment. He asked in a low voice, “Why do you think she…… asked me to go to the movies?”

Assistant Xu silently kicked over the bowl of dog food in his heart, but his expression remained respectful. “It depends on the genre. There are different types of movies and the meanings they expressed are also different.”
