When Yu Dong returned home, she felt a little thirsty. She went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and when she saw that it was full of water bottles, she couldn't help but exclaim: "This is truly a a doctor's refrigerator. There's not even one flavored drink."
Yu Dong took a bottle and drank a few mouthfuls. She habitually grabbed her mobile phone intending to order some takeaway, only to see its button keyboard. She then remembered that smart phones wouldn't be common until a few years later.
Ring!
If Yu Dong didn't have the phone in her hands, she definitely wouldn't have thought that it was her phone that was ringing.
The electric display showed the name Xiang Xiaoyue. It her university roommate, who she had a pretty close relationship with. But then Xiaoyue got married, and everyday would be nothing but mass amounts of showy love which Yu Dong, a single dog, would consciously avoid lest incurring a critical hit. This caused them to slowly drift apart, and it had been 3 or 4 years since Yu Dong last saw her.
"Hey," Yu Dong answered the phone.
"Dong Dong!" A shrill female voice frightened her so much she almost threw her phone. "Help, help!"
"What's wrong?"
Xiang Xiaoyue was a typical city girl with an upper class background and was an only child. She has a high EQ and if speaking bluntly, had her road in life paved by other people. Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but one of the most admirable things about her in Yu Dong's mind was that in university, as long as she asked, whether it was a current boyfriend or ex-boyfriend, as long as they had the ability, they would rush to help her.
"Are you in Shanghai?"
"Yeah." Yu Dong answered.
"Great, I received an offer to do the dubbing of an idol drama a while ago. But the original dubbing actress I hired suddenly quit. Come and help me." Xiaoyue said.
"Am I getting paid?"
"Yes, of course." Xiaoyue replied loudly.
"Alright, give me the address!"'
"Then I'll text it to you in a bit. Come straightaway on a taxi, I'll reimburse you."
It seems that she was really anxious, and Yu Dong figured she needed the money anyway. So she got ready and headed out again.
Yu Dong didn't need to check her account balance, she knew exactly how much money was in it because 10 years ago, she needed to survive in a new city by herself with only 2,000 yuan.
But even for future Yu Dong, 2,000 yuan was nowhere near enough for her to buy clothes, not to mention younger Yu Dong, who had different tastes.
Yu Dong took a taxi and soon arrived at the address. She went and bought some watermelon juice nearby and after downing 2 mouthfuls, entered Xiaoyue's studio.
The place wasn't very big, but in a place like Shanghai, you would be considered lucky to even afford a 50-inch recording booth.
The decorations of the studio was very stylish, and wouldn't be outdated even after a few years. It must have been decorated by a former ex-boyfriend who studied in a design school.
"Oh, thank my aunt and grandmother, you're here." Xiang Xiaoyue who was dressed up like a true professional, was looking at Yu Dong like she was her personal saviour.
"Wait!" After taking another sip of her watermelon juice, Yu Dong took out a taxi receipt and said, "50 yuan for the fare first!"
"You think I'd scam 50 yuan off you?" Xian Xiaoyue sighed and instead urged her: "Come and read the script first."
