Chapter 1859: Chapter 685: Two Women, One Performance

Zhang Jingdong chuckled, "If it’s good, eat more!"

About twenty minutes later, they had almost finished eating and were planning to pay the bill and leave.

Just then, a guy who looked like Jean Reno suddenly walked over.

"Hello, the three of you, let me introduce myself. I’m Lei Rang, a producer at Pross Film Company."

"I think the two of you are very suitable for movies in terms of looks and temperament. Would you be interested in coming to our company for a screen test?"

He Jieyu and Sophia instinctively shook their heads.

But Zhang Jingdong asked, "What movies has your company produced?"

Lei Rang hadn’t paid much attention to Zhang Jingdong earlier, but now he realized that Zhang Jingdong seemed to have a significant influence on Sophia and He Jieyu.

So he replied, "The Legend of Sicily’s Beauty was one of the films we invested in and produced."

Zhang Jingdong had asked casually, not expecting that The Legend of Sicily’s Beauty was one of their productions.

He then said, "They won’t act in movies, but since your company was able to produce such a classic as The Legend of Sicily’s Beauty, I’m quite interested in investing in your company’s new film project."

"How about you give me your contact information? I have some things to handle right now, but I’ll call you once I’m free."

Lei Rang felt Zhang Jingdong seemed a bit unreliable, considering his face looked very young.

But since Zhang Jingdong could simultaneously be out with two beauties, Sophia and He Jieyu, Lei Rang vaguely felt that Zhang Jingdong must be an elite second-generation rich.

Even though their company produced The Legend of Sicily’s Beauty, their revenue had been quite average these past few years, so external investment was greatly needed.

So he smiled and nodded, "Sure."

He pulled out a business card holder, drew a card, and handed it to Zhang Jingdong.

Zhang Jingdong took the card, glanced at it, and then took out one of his own to hand back.

Lei Rang took the card, looked at it, and then put it in his bag.

"Alright, goodbye."

"Yes, goodbye."

As they watched him walk away, Zhang Jingdong teased, "You two are really proud, huh? He wanted you two to be in a movie, you know how many women dream of having that chance, and you two just turned it down flat? Oh, self-sabotage!"

He Jieyu gave him a sideways glance, "He hasn’t walked far, should I call him back?"

Zhang Jingdong quickly waved his hand, "Forget it, mainly because our company has a film department. If you really want to make a movie, I can arrange it anytime."

"You’re both so beautiful, so of course, your screen debut should be with your own film company!"

He Jieyu exchanged a glance with Sophia, then both of them rolled their eyes at Zhang Jingdong.

After tidying up, they all left the restaurant together.

After getting in the car, Zhang Jingdong turned and asked, "He Jieyu, are you tired?"

He Jieyu quickly blinked, "Do you want me to be tired, or do you want me not to be tired?"

"If you’re tired, then we’ll stay in Milan tonight and head to France tomorrow morning."

"If you’re not tired, then we can go to Bordeaux, France now. We’ll rest there tonight and visit the vineyards tomorrow morning."

He Jieyu suddenly thought of something, "Are you planning to visit the legendary Eight Great Vineyards?"

"Who else could be my secretary, you’re smart as always!"

He Jieyu was filled with astonishment, "But those Eight Great Vineyards, each one would cost in the tens of millions, are you... are you sure?"

"What, you think your boss doesn’t have the capability?"

"No... No, I’m just... Well, since you’ve decided, let’s head to Bordeaux now. It’s only a little over 100 kilometers from Milan, just over an hour away."

"Alrighty!"

Zhang Jingdong said as he started the car again, soon disappearing into the traffic.

By now it was evening, and the scenery along the way from Milan to Bordeaux was breathtakingly beautiful.

Zhang Jingdong turned on the car CD player, looping Kalan Dilon’s "Craigie Hill":

It being in the springtime

All the small birds were singing

...

Sophia and He Jieyu listened to the melodious Irish ballad, occasionally admiring the scenery outside the car window, occasionally sneaking a glance at Zhang Jingdong driving, both feeling an indescribable sense of romance.

Halfway there, Sophia quietly turned to glance at He Jieyu, who happened to be sneaking a glance at Zhang Jingdong.

At that moment, Sophia vaguely felt that perhaps He Jieyu and Zhang Jingdong were not unrequited lovers, but mutually admiring ones.

To be honest, earlier at the train station, although Zhang Jingdong and He Jieyu’s performances were good, Sophia still felt something was off.

Because their expressions and dialogues were so natural, they completely embodied the phrase "flirting and teasing."

And the reason Sophia didn’t expose them or get angry with Zhang Jingdong on the spot was that she had long known that men, especially very rich men, rarely have just one woman around them.

Like her father, who, although he loved her mother dearly, Sophia knew he had a mistress.

Having a mistress is even quite common and openly accepted for some powerful people in Europe.

So besides her first love, Sophia hasn’t dated anyone until now.

At this moment, there was a touch of confusion in her eyes, but it gradually turned into relief.
