What Should I Do if My Best Friend Is a Green Tea? [Transmigrated Into a Book]

Ye Luoyi's fingers unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, creating a wrinkle in the fabric.

The attention of everyone on the scene was drawn to the stretch Lincoln, and for a moment, no one paid attention to Ye Luoyi's highly cost-effective transportation plan.

Ye Luoyi gritted her teeth, "Isn't the Licheng Museum reservation-only? Money can't help with that, right?"

Louis looked at Ye Luoyi and explained gently, "Before we learned that Miss Zhou was coming to Licheng for her trip, we had already made reservations for all the attractions in Licheng that require advance booking. We also prepaid for the tickets to ensure that Miss Zhou could visit any attraction she wanted at any time."

Xiao Yu was astonished; it was the first time she had seen such an arrangement. "What if she doesn't want to visit those attractions? Wouldn't it all be a waste?"

Louis smiled, "Satisfying our customers' needs is our bank's top priority. As for the extra tickets, they won't go to waste. We will give them to other tourists in need."

It was then that the guests noticed that Louis referred to himself as part of a "bank." He wasn't a privately hired butler for Zhou Qingyu but rather belonged to a bank.

[Don't you think the logo on Louis's suit lapel looks familiar?]

[Isn't that the logo of the American Express Black Card? I saw it in a documentary on Bilibili! These people in suits are bank consultants, specifically serving Black Card holders. No matter where the customer is or what they need, they will fulfill it immediately!]

[I looked up the application requirements for this card: "Most people are not eligible to apply. Applicants must be members of the XX Wealth Ranking."]

[Zhou Qingyu isn't on the XX Wealth Ranking, is she?]

[Her father could be!]

[Pfft, or maybe Zhou Qingyu recently hooked up with a wealthy tycoon!]

[Ugh, that's so gross. Why do you have to speculate so maliciously about a female celebrity?]

[If Zhou Qingyu were from a wealthy family, would her parents tolerate her being bashed online? Her resources were so poor before, clearly indicating her family background is average. She must have recently hooked up with a rich guy.]

[The tycoon must really like Zhou Qingyu, even letting her use the Black Card!]

The live chat was filled with endless arguments, but the guests on-site were completely unaware.

The stretch Lincoln was spacious, capable of seating eight people. Aside from Zhou Qingyu, Yan Xi, Louis, and the camera crew, there was room for four more.

Yan Xi asked the other guests, "Does anyone want to join us to the Licheng Museum? We can go together."

Public transportation in Licheng wasn't as convenient as back home, so taking a private car would be faster.

Ye Luoyi naturally didn't want to be with Zhou Qingyu, nor did she want to use her transportation. "Lingling and I aren't heading to the Licheng Museum first. We're going somewhere else, so we won't join you."

Kang Boye wanted to hitch a ride, but Qin Li refused, so neither of them joined.

In the end, Jiang Tao and Xiao Yu lucked out. Their first stop was also the Licheng Museum, and their script had scenes set there, so they wanted to scout the location.

The four groups of guests thus went their separate ways, as the stretch Lincoln smoothly headed toward the Licheng Museum.

The interior of the car was incredibly spacious. Even with five people seated, along with the camera crews for both groups, it didn't feel crowded at all.

Inside the Lincoln, Louis had prepared champagne, fruits, and pastries. On the small table were Licheng travel brochures, water bottles for the museum, power banks, and more.

It could be said that Louis had prepared everything one might need for a museum visit in advance.

Jiang Tao and Xiao Yu sat comfortably in the stretch Lincoln. Xiao Yu casually flipped through the travel brochure Louis had meticulously prepared and was surprised to find that it was printed on high-quality, thick paper, clearly different from the mass-produced brochures available elsewhere.

Moreover, the brochure was bilingual, featuring not only the well-known attractions of Licheng but also many hidden gems known only to locals.

This must have been specially prepared for Zhou Qingyu by American Express.

Yan Xi noticed Xiao Yu's interest in the local attractions and offered, "Teacher Xiao Yu, if you need any help with location scouting, you can ask Louis."

Louis was the travel consultant assigned to Zhou Qingyu by American Express.

A glimmer of joy flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. They had originally planned to hire a local guide to better find suitable filming locations, but after contacting many guides the day before, they discovered that most were only familiar with Licheng's classic attractions and knew nothing about the spots Jiang Tao needed.

But Louis was different. Travel consultants of his caliber were practically all-rounders, with the sole mission of fulfilling any customer request.

Louis poured a glass of champagne for Xiao Yu and Jiang Tao. "It would be my honor to assist you~"

Jiang Tao sat up eagerly and began discussing passionately with Louis. His new project required filming a scene where the male and female leads meet in Licheng. While the classic attractions were essential, filming there was nearly impossible. Jiang Tao wanted to find the best vantage points that could frame the Licheng landmarks while also being convenient for the crew to shoot.

Louis knew all this like the back of his hand. In just a few minutes, he pointed out several suitable filming locations for Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao was thoroughly satisfied. The spots Louis suggested were now their scouting targets, and they were even better than the ones they had initially chosen. This gave Jiang Tao renewed confidence in the future of his project.

Both he and Xiao Yu had flopped with their last three works. In the entertainment industry, reputation hinges on successful projects. Another failure, and their credibility would be completely eroded.

Yan Xi listened to their conversation and could tell that Jiang Tao's project currently only had a script. Funding, locations, crew, and actors were all still up in the air.

Filming projects in the entertainment industry were notoriously difficult, and this time, Jiang Tao was determined to resist being controlled or influenced by capital. He wanted to create something truly meaningful.

Curious, Yan Xi asked, "Teacher Jiang, have you chosen a lead actress for this project yet?"

Jiang Tao's gaze briefly swept over Zhou Qingyu, who was resting with her eyes closed beside Yan Xi, before he replied stiffly, "No."

"Do you have anyone in mind?" Yan Xi pressed.

Jiang Tao's project was bound to win awards. Star Glory had many talented actresses, and if they could get one of them into the project while also convincing Zhou Qingyu to invest, it would surely be a huge success!

If Star Glory made money, it would indirectly benefit Zhou Qingyu, and maybe even boost her luck!

Jiang Tao's expression turned cold. While he was easygoing in daily life, when it came to work, he became uncompromising. "Miss Yan, if you're asking whether Zhou Qingyu can play the female lead, the answer is no."

Zhou Qingyu, who had been dozing, suddenly sat up. "Why can't I?"

Jiang Tao hadn't wanted to make things awkward, but since Zhou Qingyu asked, he answered honestly, "Your acting is terrible. I don't work with bad actors!"

Zhou Qingyu: !!!

Furious, she retorted, "Jiang Tao, don't think I let you ride in my car just to curry favor with you! With your track record of flopping three projects in two years, your new project is doomed to fail too. I have no interest in starring in it!"

Jiang Tao snorted, "Even if this project flops, I wouldn't hire a trash actor like you! You can't even cry without eye drops. Do you even deserve to be called an actor?"
