Chapter 60: The Joys of an Ancient Prince!
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lao Wang took Li Mo to a Japanese restaurant.
Li Yitong eventually managed to get a date with Li Mo, but not through Lao Wang; it was Li Mo who took the initiative to ask her out.
As he said, he never jokes about taking advantage of others.
The reason Lao Wang mentioned queuing was not referring to the dinner party itself, but rather to the spot next to Li Mo.
From his perspective, Li Mo currently only has two girlfriends, and he is unaware of Bai Lu's existence.
One of them is the big boss, Qin Lan, which is basically confirmed.
After all, the car has fallen into Li Mo's hands, and given their frequent appearances together, there's no doubt about it!
The other one is Li Xin from not long ago, and Li Xin and Li Mo should be developing a relationship.
It's unclear how things progressed between the two.
So, Li Yitong has to line up in line, right?
You're a newcomer and you want to cut in line?!
Old Wang has accepted the fact that Li Mo is a scumbag and has found his place in the world.
Every profession needs to be irreplaceable. Drivers can be replaced, assistants can be replaced, but there is one thing that can never be replaced.
That's a shield to take the blame.
Otherwise, why would I read so many books?
This Japanese restaurant is located in Sanlitun. The storefront is unassuming, but the decor is elegant.
The entire restaurant is lit in warm tones, and the uniforms of the front desk staff are also very distinctive. Each private room has professional staff to serve you.
However, Li Mo was only so-so about Japanese food, but considering the girl's feelings, he came here because the Japanese food looked better.
If Li Mo really takes Li Yitong out to eat braised pork knuckle, it means he already considers her a buddy.
After parking his car, Lao Wang figured Li Mo wouldn't be out for a while, so he decided to take a nap in the car; he'd stayed up too late reading last night.
After Li Mo gave him a raise last time, Lao Wang now earns 15,000 yuan a base salary excluding commissions, plus all his food and lodging, five social insurances and one housing fund, holiday bonuses, and a three-month year-end bonus.
With an annual salary of 25 after tax, this is definitely a high-income group at this time.
Therefore, he has to work hard; all the knowledge he has learned is for one purpose: to be a good shield.
We have to be worthy of this salary!
Li Mo walked into the store alone and was led into a private room by a waiter.
He took off his mask once he entered the private room, where Li Yitong was already waiting.
Amazingly, she completely changed her makeup and styling in such a short time.
It wasn't just her clothes; she even changed her makeup and styling. The new eye makeup enhanced the allure that naturally emanated from her eyes and brows.
It turns out... those crescent-shaped eyes actually have two different appearances.
She was wearing a cream-colored knitted halter-neck sleeveless vest, revealing her rounded, fair shoulders.
She paired it with a white, irregularly pleated short skirt, which showed off her pair of shapely, supple legs.
More importantly, it was paired with a pair of black stockings, which became even more lustrous under the light.
Li Mo even felt that there wasn't enough time; if there were enough time, she would even take a shower.
"Li Mo... Teacher! You're here!"
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Li Yitong's eyes lit up, and she stood up to greet them.
"I've already told you, don't call me teacher, I'm not worthy of it."
Li Mo sat down opposite her and waved his hand helplessly.
Li Yitong chuckled, "I'm being sincere~ It's different from other people's flattery."
"That wouldn't be good either. Just call me Li Mo, or you can call me Momo once we get to know each other better. Shall we order first?"
"Mo Mo? Is that okay?" Li Yitong was good at picking out the key points.
"It wasn't allowed before, but I'm used to it now." Li Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.
The predecessors planted the trees, and the successors enjoy the shade. Isn't the nickname "Momo" a kind of training that Mencius intended for Li Mo?
After ordering, Li Mo spoke first, "What are your plans for the future?"
"Um... I'm not too sure. I've been studying dance for ten years, and I originally planned to open a dance school in the future."
But after these few acting experiences, I feel I'm more interested in acting... but my dance background doesn't seem to be of much use for acting.
Li Yitong pursed her lips and said helplessly.
This is a classic case of sunk cost indecision. Seeing her so conflicted, Li Mo thought of offering her some encouragement:
"Firstly, sunk costs are not involved in major decisions. Secondly, who says dance is useless for acting? Body control is still very helpful in some plays."
Li Yitong pursed her lips and nodded, clearly having taken it to heart. Li Mo wouldn't make decisions for her, but he also didn't want her to fall into a trap.
There are too many naive young girls who enter the entertainment industry with high hopes, only to be betrayed and ruined.
In particular, some thugs and hooligans use the guise of this producer or that director to swindle people without any scruples.
This kind of thing is common in the industry.
"Do you trust me? If you do, and you decide to enter the entertainment industry, you can ask me for help with any indecisive decisions you encounter later."
It was nothing more than helping her bridge the information gap, although for Li Mo, it was just a small favor.
But for Li Yitong... at this moment, Li Mo was surrounded by a reassuring magic.
Perhaps someone will do more than Li Mo in the future, but Li Mo's position is irreplaceable.
This is the destructive power of the original White Moonlight.
In Li Yitong's mind, Li Mo's words also meant: "You don't need to worry, I will arrange everything for you."
A relieved smile appeared on Li Yitong's face, and she seemed much more relaxed.
"Let's celebrate our successful filming today!" Li Mo raised his glass and changed the subject.
At this point, Li Yitong seemed a little embarrassed, "I wasted a lot of time filming today..."
"I was the same way two months ago, so you don't need to feel embarrassed."
"So how did you manage to get to where you are today?"
This simple question actually made Li Mo fall into deep thought. After two minutes, he slowly spoke:
"It's all thanks to hard work and sweat!"
The dishes were served quickly: sashimi platter, tempura, yakitori, and more. Li Yitong ordered a lot, seemingly to show her sincerity.
After all the dishes were served, the two ate and chatted, talking about everything from acting to life, including Li Yitong's childhood and her experiences learning dance.
The private room was just too small; otherwise, Li Yitong would have loved to let Li Mo experience the joys of being an ancient prince.
However, Li Yitong did most of the talking, while Li Mo spoke very little and mostly listened attentively.
It might be a matter of one's inherent personality.
Li Mo rarely shared her innermost thoughts with others, not even Bai Lu, Yang Chaoyue, Reba, Qin Lan…
Because in his heart, everyone can only get a part of him, and only he himself can have the whole of himself.
In the end, everyone was happy, and Li Mo paid the bill!
