Chapter 453: Insatiable Appetite - She's Always on the Road to Food
However, Lily does not call his bluff. Instead, she smiles faintly. "It takes too long to pick another actor.
Even if you've got time now, our company doesn't have that much money to pay you."
Director Jarvis is stunned and immediately says, "It doesn't matter. We're friends. We should help each
other."
"Wow, it's my honor to be friends with you." Lily raises her eyebrows and jokes, "I'm just a vice
president of a small company. Director Jarvis, I thought you wouldn't make friends with people like me."
"No, no!" Director Jarvis is not stupid. He can tell the sarcasm in Lily's tone. So, he tries to butter her
up. "I really want to make friends with you!"
Lily picks up the hot coffee and is about to drink it. But then she thinks that it might be bad for her
babies, so she puts it down.
After Director Jarvis said that, she says calmly, "We can't afford an expensive actor. But now we're
cooperating with the Smith Group, so Mr. Smith wants to help us."
Director Jarvis is shocked. He looks at Louis and hesitates. "Mr. Smith is our new leading actor?"
"Yes."
Everyone at the table sucks in his breath.
Oh my God!
A big shot like Mr. Smith never works with them. The financial magazines rarely get a chance to
interview him. But now, he is standing in front of them, and he is going to work with them for two weeks!
Even Director Jarvis is startled.
He knows that HS is working with the Smith Group, so he thinks that Mr. Smith just comes to check
their set. But he doesn't expect....
Director Jarvis secretly glances at Lily for a few times. Mr. Smith is so busy, but he puts his work aside
and comes here. It's not just because of his cooperation with HS. There must be another reason.
There are rumors that Mr. Smith has dated Lily, but he didn't believe it.
Well, it's real!
Lily has known that everyone would be shocked when they hear this news. She has sharp eyes and
sees a few people tapping on their phones like crazy. They look very excited, as if they're sending
messages to others.
Lily looks at Louis.
She has noticed it, so Louis must see it as well. She wants him to stop them, only to find that Louis is
checking his emails. He is very busy and doesn't pay attention to anything else at all.
...
Lily raises her voice and says to the crowd. "Mr. Smith will participate in this short film, but he will not
show his face."
"And it's a confidential schedule. I hope you will cooperate. The scriptwriter checks the story and
makes sure that our leading actor will not show his face."
But some people are still fiddling with their phone. Lily's face darkens as she calls her assistant. "Ella,
draw up a confidentiality contract and bring it over by 8 a.m. tomorrow."
"Alright, Ms. Lily. Please tell me the details on WeChat."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
After Lily hangs it up, the two people finally put away their phones. She says indifferently, "I'm sorry,
guys, I'm just afraid that Mr. Smith will be posted on the Internet with videos or photos. It's better for
everyone to sign a confidentiality contract."
None of them dares to say anything.
Louis seems to be checking his mails seriously. It looks like he does not care about what happened.
But actually, he's quietly smiling.
After the mood lightens up, Director Jarvis introduces a few people to Lily.
Out of the seven people, Lily picks out three. They're in charge of clothes, makeup and props. Their
studio cooperates with Brilliant Media. So, they know Director Jarvis and have a good relationship with
him.
Everyone shakes hands with Lily. Seeing that Louis is busy, they tacitly do not disturb him.
Of course, they don't dare to do it.
Director Jarvis asks Lily, "Ms. Lily, if you don't have any problems, let's start filming tomorrow, okay?"
"Sure, I'm fine with it."
Director Jarvis looks at Louis. He wants to ask something, but closes his mouth without speaking. He
seems to be a little afraid of Louis.
Lily notices his hesitation and says on behalf of Louis, "Mr. Smith doesn't have any problems either.
However, he's very busy. So please tell us the filming time every day so that Mr. Smith can arrange it
properly."
"Alright!" Director Jarvis finally gets relieved.
After this short meeting, everyone leaves.
When they leave, they're planning to hang around in this afternoon. They hear that there is a well in the
mountain behind the homestay family. If they drink the well water, they will get pregnant with twins or
something like that.
Lily is also about to leave. But Louis still sits there, so she can't help but ask, "Mr. Smith, aren't you
going back?"
"I've got a few emails left. I should email them back."
Lily is worried that Louis might be too focused on his work and be taken photos after she leaves. She
doesn't want him to be posted online and cause troubles for her. So she sits back down.
Lily motions to the waiter. She orders some cakes and a cup of black tea.
She decides to eat something while waiting for Louis.
After Louis finishes his work, he raises his head and sees that Lily is still sitting beside him. There are a
few empty cake plates on the table. And Lily is going to finish the last green tea cake.
The corners of his mouth twitch as he says helplessly, "Didn't you eat a lot of desserts on the plane?"
"No, just a few cakes and two puddings." Lily replies and puts the last piece of cake into her mouth. "It's
been three hours. I'm already hungry."
...
Lily really has an insatiable appetite. She is always on the way to food.
"Oh, I'll send you the script." Lily takes out her phone and sends the script to Louis on WeChat. "The
scriptwriter probably needs to rewrite it. But you can read it and get familiar with it now."
Louis has read the script long ago. But he doesn't want Lily to know about it, so he pretends to read it.
Then he asks her, "Your idea?"
"Yeah." Lily nods. "In the previous meetings, I also felt the story is too simple. But we've got a VAM. I'm
afraid that the results won't be good enough. I don't want to lose the company's shares."
"I've smelled the perfume for a whole minute. Its smell changes after people wear it for 30 seconds. So,
I came up with this plot."
As she speaks, she takes out a new perfume from her bag.
She sprays it on the perfume test paper, waves it, and hands it to Louis.
When he smells it, Lily says, "According to its different smell at different times, I come up with three
themes, from ancient times, Republic of China to modern times. Each of them will last for one minute."
"A storyline runs through three themes. It's not long, so consumers won't feel bored." Louis likes her
idea, "But it's a test of the director's camera skills."
Lily agrees. "I've seen Director Jarvis’ graduation work. He knows how to use the camera. Actually,
there are quite a few directors like him. But we don't have much money, so we could only work with
him."
"Great idea." Louis sniffs at the faint fragrance of fruit and wood. "You really got a treasure from
someone else. This perfume smells very good. If HS gets the advertisement done properly, your profits
in this year will be doubled by it."
"I know. When I go back, I must keep an eye on the publicity department." Lily says, "I've got a good
idea. But it's all because this perfume really smells good. Mr. Smith, you're so picky but you also love
it."
Louis raises his eyebrows. "Ms. Lily, don't take it wrong. I just said it smells good, but I didn't say I like
it."
Lily is surprised "Then what do you like? The incense?"
