CH 29

When Qin Yuheng got out of the car, she could hear Shen Yu calling someone out. Her expression immediately darkened, “Xiao Yu, come back. Don’t cause any trouble!”

Although she didn’t like Yang Qiqi either, they belonged to the same company.

“I’m not trying to cause trouble. It’s just that some people are always trying to paste themselves to me cheaply.” Shen Yu’s lips curled up as he tried to move forward.

Yang Qiqi’s face turned blue with anger, “Who are you calling cheap?!”

“Who I’m talking about, they are well aware of it themselves!” Shen Yu didn’t have the burden of being a well-known public figure, so he spoke as he wanted.

Yang Qiqi was different. After all, he was a bit famous. He had to maintain his image and demeanour even after being scolded. So he could only turn to Qin Yuheng, “Qin-jie, look at Shen Yu acting like this. Scolding people for no reason. Aren’t you going to do something?”

“Aiya~ apologies~ my family’s Xiao Yu has a bad temper. Why don’t you take a detour when you see him from now on?” Qin Yuheng said with a smile, it was clear that she was protecting Shen Yu.

“You——” Yang Qiqi was furious, but he had no choice but to just yell at his own assistant, “Let’s go!”

After they left, Qin Yuheng raised her hand and hit Shen Yu on the head, “Why do you always mess with unnecessary people?!”

“Don’t you think you have enough black material on you already?!”

Shen Yu didn’t dodge her hit, he just covered his face and grinned, “Why do you have to raise your hand whenever you have something to say? It hurts!”

“What if it affects my performance in a while?!”

Knowing that he was changing the subject, Qin Yuheng shook her head helplessly and said, “Let’s go. The director is still waiting inside.”

When they were in the nanny car just now, she had thoroughly introduced the web drama to Shen Yu.

It was a popular novel with double male protagonists and the readers had high expectations for it. Preparations for it had already started at the beginning of the year, but the protagonists hadn’t been decided yet.

Although the company was trying its best to obtain the role of the Male protagonist, the director still hadn’t decided yet. They had thought that there was no hope, but then they suddenly received a call from the assistant director. Asking Shen Yu, whom no one had expectations for, to audition. The role was even the Male Lead!

Could it be that the travelling variety show made Shen Yu popular?!

The leaders of the company immediately issued an immediate order to Qin Yuheng. The role must be won, otherwise they will hold a meeting.

“Qin-jie, has the role of the other Male Lead been decided?” Shen Yu asked as he walked.

Qin Yuheng shook her head, “I don’t know, everything happened so suddenly.”

It was like Shen Yu, who was hacked by the internet the previous night, was now praised by everyone today.

“What’s the name of this drama?” Shen Yu tilted his head.

Qin Yuheng glared at him, “I’ve said it three times and you still can’t remember?”

“The Path of the Jade Sword1!!”

Shen Yu let out an ‘Ah’ and then asked, “How can I participate in the audition without a script?”

“The director asked for you to do an improvisation on the spot. The decision will be made then.”

Shen Yu nodded his head, walking towards the director’s lounge with Qin Yuheng following him close behind.

Not far away from them, Yang Qiqi showed himself from a corner of the corridor. A bit of confusion flashing on his face, “Is he here for an audition?”

“Go and ask for me. What role is he aiming for?”

The round-faced assistant next to him nodded, “I’ll go immediately.”

Yang Qiqi, who is now the only person in the corridor, suddenly contorted his expression. His initial docile and lovely expression changed and the darkness in his eyes overflowed.

“No matter what role you want to play, I’ll be sure to snatch it!”

The director of `The path of the Jade Sword’ is a woman about 40 years of age with a great reputation. It’s not easy to star a role in her movies, but her productions have all been classics.

She has been active in the film industry for a while now, but unexpectedly she decided to take on a web drama adapted from a novel.

“Hello, Director Wang…” Qin Yuheng stretched out her hand enthusiastically, hiding her surprise, “We’re not late, are we?”

She then winked at Shen Yu, signalling for him to behave later.

“Not late, you’re just in time…” Wang Meng shook her hand slightly, her scrutinising eyes fell on Shen Yu’s face as the corners of her mouth curled up indistinctly. She seemed satisfied with his image.

“Please sit.”

Shen Yu nodded slightly, “Thank you, Director Wang.”

“Have you ever filmed a costume drama2 before?” Wang Meng asked knowingly. She had actually checked Shen Yu’s information a long time ago and was satisfied with his appearance.

Even though the investors tried their best to put Shen Yu in, she had to check him first. She couldn’t just choose those who were unsuitable.

“I did, but that was a few years ago.” Shen Yu replied truthfully.

At that time, he hadn’t transmigrated into the body yet and the acting skills of the original owner were unbearable. Acting as a supporting role, he was too awkward. This then caused him to be scolded as soon as the film was broadcasted.

Shen Yu actually didn’t want to talk about this kind of dark history, so he immediately said, “Director Wang, how about I play a scene for you?”

“You can ask for any scenario.”

Wang Meng waved her hand, “No need, no need…”

As she said this, she picked up the script that was laying on the coffee table and handed it to Shen Yu, “Go back and familiarise yourself with the characters first…”

Anyways, the roles can’t be changed. So acting skills don’t seem so important here.

Let’s just use this to deal with the investors first. If it’s really not suitable, the show can be cancelled.

Shen Yu took over the script, but still felt a little unwilling, “Director, do you really want me to play in this drama?”

“I’ve already decided to use you. Why are you still wasting time doing this?!” Qin Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

She was previously worried that Director Wang would look down on Shen Yu’s poor acting skills. It seemed that Shen Yu was directly appointed by the investors.

This is a huge pie falling from the sky!

So, Qin Yuheng quickly pulled up the reluctant Shen Yu and hurriedly left the director’s lounge.

As dusk approached, Feng SiRui walked out of his office building and got into his Maybach.

The driver turned his head to ask, “President Feng, are you going to the dingfeng flat?”

It was one of Feng SiRui’s properties in the city center. Everytime he came back from abroad, he would go live there directly for a while.

This time should be no exception right?

Although…

The driver had thought so. But he then saw Feng SiRui’s lips part as the latter said another location with difficulty after a while, “Go back to the villa.”

“Mr. Shen’s villa?”

Feng SiRui gave out a frown, “That is our villa…”

How did it become Shen Yu’s own property?!

Of course the driver had no idea what Feng SiRui was fussing about. So he immediately turned around and started the car without saying a word.

Arriving at the villa half an hour later, Feng SiRui carried his briefcase in one hand and loosened his tie with the other. A stern and serious expression was donned on his face, as if he was going to arrive on a battlefield in just three seconds.

The driver saw Feng SiRui enter the door, so he stepped on the gas pedal and drove away quickly.

These days, his boss had been in a bad mood, so he needed to be careful!

After finally receiving the script, Shen Yu took a shower at home and got into his quilt to read the script with gusto. After two scenes, he was so focused that the corner of his mouth involuntarily rose to show the smile of a perverted aunt.

—— ‘No wonder this novel is so popular! Isn’t this just so exciting?’

—— ‘Look at the way these words and sentences are composed. It’s so lively. Let me read a passage…’

—— ‘The beautiful master clenched his fist on his clothes tightly, crawling towards the ice jade bed. There seemed to be thousands of ants crawling on his body as he occasionally let out a few broken gasps. Coupled with his beautiful red cheeks, it was simply mesmerising…’

—— ‘His sick-in-the-head apprentice appeared behind him unknowingly. His naked upper torso showed strong and powerful muscles. His eyes were like a wild beast, looking at his master with a fierce look. He looked on eagerly at his master, as if he was about to pounce on him in the next second…’

—— ‘Pounce, pounce… He really pounced! I don’t know who’s going to play this scene with me. It must be a little fresh meat with a great figure! The dog man must be trampled under my foot…’

“Shen Yu!”

A sudden yell made Shen Yu, who was obsessed with his thoughts, sit up in fright. He turned around to face Feng SiRui’s livid face.
