Chapter 23 Extras
Chapter 23 Extras
These words immediately gave the two women a new direction.
Compared to a stranger taxi driver, Chen Jiang at least had a meal with me. Even if we couldn't be called friends, we were at least somewhat familiar with each other, which made me feel much more at ease.
After a brief moment of thought, Gao Wen nodded in agreement:
"Okay, thank you for your help, Mr. Chen."
"I already told you, just call me Chen Jiang."
Chen Jiang smiled slightly, stood up, and looked at Chen Siya again:
"Yours, the beautiful store manager?"
Chen Siya shook her head and said helplessly:
"How can I leave? The car is still here... I need to wait for someone to bring the spare key."
"Since you can take Wenwen there, then you can go."
"Speaking of which, we haven't added each other on WeChat yet, right? Shall we?"
Is this to protect oneself, or to prevent being unable to find someone if something happens?
Chen Jiang smiled nonchalantly, handed over his phone to add her as a friend, and Gao Wen, who was standing next to him, couldn't wait to grab her bag: "Let's go, let's go, or I'll get scolded again!"
After saying that, he got up to leave.
Chen Jiang shrugged at Chen Siya, and the two had no choice but to get up and follow.
Upon arriving at the parking lot, Chen Jiang went inside to retrieve his car, while the two women waited at the entrance.
Gao Wen was a restless person; after a short silence, she asked with some curiosity:
"IELTS, who is this Chen Jiang? How do you two know each other?"
"Um?"
Chen Yasi was checking her watch, calculating when the locksmith would arrive, when she suddenly heard these words and burst out laughing: "What does it matter..."
"Didn't I tell you? I opened a new barbershop a few days ago and worked as a barber there for a while. Chen Jiang was my first customer. That's how we met. Meeting him today was purely accidental."
"But back then, this guy's appearance and demeanor didn't seem like that of a rich person at all. I really misjudged him to run into him here today."
"Huh?" Gao Wen was a little confused. "You mean Chen Jiang is very rich? Wasn't today your treat?"
"Hmm... how should I put it? It feels a bit too profound for you, so you'd better not ask." Chen Yasi chuckled. Her best friend had some talent in her career as a celebrity, but she wasn't very good at other things.
The reason she said Chen Jiang was a rich man was not because he could afford to eat here, but because of the logic behind his eating, the relaxed manner he was during the meal, and so on. It was only after combining these factors that she came to this assessment.
This is experience she accumulated over many years of navigating the complexities of society, and it's impossible to explain it in detail.
"So mysterious... I don't think Chen Jiang looks like a rich person at all." Gao Wen was a little skeptical, recalling Chen Jiang's outfit earlier: "I've seen a lot of rich people, but none of them have ever worn Chen Jiang's clothes. I feel like it probably costs less than a hundred yuan."
"Don't you understand the saying 'You can't judge a book by its cover,' Wenwen?"
"I think you're just trying to fool me." Gao Wen rolled her eyes.
"How about we make a bet?" Chen Yasi loved her defiant little face; it looked incredibly cute.
Gao Wen was naturally unconvinced. She felt her judgment wasn't bad either; if Chen Jiang were rich, he wouldn't have any valuable jewelry on him.
"Okay, when Chen Jiang comes over later, I'll ask him. If I win, you have to buy me the bag we both liked last time as a gift. If I lose, I'll buy you one too!"
"Okay, it's a deal."
Chen Siya felt she had no reason to refuse the offer of a free bag, and immediately agreed with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Gao Wen's eyes widened, and she waited for Chen Jiang to drive over.
A minute later, a stylish car slowly drove out of the parking lot and stopped beside the two of them. The window rolled down, revealing Chen Jiang's face: "Big star, get in the car."
"Chen Jiang, is this your car?"
Gao Wen didn't know much about luxury car brands or Aston Martin, but she knew that this two-door sports car was definitely not cheap and that ordinary people couldn't afford it.
Chen Siya, on the other hand, was much more knowledgeable. She couldn't help but raise her delicate eyebrows, and her gaze towards Chen Jiang became meaningful:
"Wow, an Aston Martin! This car must cost millions!"
"Chen Jiang, you've been hiding your true intentions well."
"There's no such thing as hiding it. It's not my car; I'm just borrowing it temporarily," Chen Jiang explained with a smile.
"Well, we can only borrow it."
Chen Yasi naturally didn't believe it, but she didn't say anything more, only turning back to look at Gao Wen: "A bet's a bet, right?"
"Fine, I give up!" Gao Wen rolled her eyes at her, but there was nothing she could do. "I'll bring your bag next time, just you wait!"
After saying that, he quickly walked to the passenger side, opened the car door, and got in.
"I'll go see Gao Wen off now. Contact me if you need anything."
"Okay, I'll go back to the shop after the locksmith comes and opens the car door."
"Okay, goodbye then."
After saying a final goodbye to the beautiful store manager, Chen Jiang stepped on the gas, the V12 engine roared, and he drove into the traffic, quickly leaving the parking lot behind and disappearing from sight of Chen Siya.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Gao Wen was still agonizing over the bet. She didn't care about the bag, but every time she was with Chen Siya, she felt like her intelligence was being crushed, which was really unpleasant.
Chen Jiang had no idea what the two had just done. Seeing the big star puffing out his cheeks, he found it a bit funny, but since they weren't exactly close, he didn't feel comfortable asking what was going on.
We drove quietly all the way until we reached a relatively remote suburb.
The production team that Gao Wen was in should have had no shortage of funds, so they used real locations for filming, renting a large farmhouse as the filming location.
The scale seemed quite large, with some extras who were clearly just playing minor roles sitting on the roadside, looking like they had just finished their work.
Chen Jiang, being young, was naturally curious about these things and couldn't help but ask:
"Gao Wen, are these all extras here to play minor roles?"
Gao Wen, however, was not surprised by this at all:
"Yeah, they're all extras...Are you interested in these?"
Chen Jiang spoke the truth:
"It's alright... I guess I'm still somewhat interested."
"Would you like to be an extra for fun?" Gao Wen was quite kind, turning to Chen Jiang and asking, "Just to thank you for giving me a ride."
"Um...would this be too much trouble for you?"
Chen Jiang was indeed tempted and wanted to try it out, but he didn't really understand these things and didn't know if he would cause trouble for Gao Wen.
"There's no trouble at all. You can come in with me in a bit."
Gao Wen patted her chest and assured him:
"But you probably don't have any lines. I'll try my best to let you show your face, okay?"
Chen Jiang was overjoyed and naturally had no objections:
"Of course, no problem. I'm just joining in the fun... Then I'll have to trouble you, Gao Wen."
