Chapter 142: Joining Production
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yuan Shao touched his hair and said with a smile, “Sister Dong Ling, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to the company first.”
Dong Ling replied, “Alright, I’m going back to the film studio too.”
When Dong Ling returned to Tan Si’s side, she also became hesitant.
When Tan Si caught a glimpse of it, she asked impatiently, “What’s the matter? Speak!”
Dong Ling looked around and said in a low voice, “I heard from one of my friends in the industry that Jiang Huai invested a huge sum of money into a drama for An’an.”
Actually, Yuan Shao didn’t say that Jiang Huai was investing for An’an because he didn’t know about this either. It just so happened that Dong Ling wanted to cause trouble, so she accidentally guessed correctly.
When Tan Si heard this, she frowned. “What drama are they filming?”
Yuan Shao didn’t know everything, so Dong Ling naturally didn’t know much either. “I think it’s a new theme in the country. It’s about a person’s repeated rebirth, but it’s not considered a rebirth and transmigration theme. There’s not much information about it at the moment. I heard that it’s a big production and wants to compete for the Golden Lily Newcomer Awards in the country.”
The first half of the sentence was true, but the second half was purely fabricated by Dong Ling. Tan Si had already accompanied her for two years at the Golden Lily Newcomer Awards. She had already told Zhou Yun that she was determined to win the next award.
It was precisely because of this that Dong Ling deliberately suggested it.
As expected, when Tan Si heard Dong Ling’s words, she was instantly furious. “She’s only been in the industry for a short period of time. She’s only been the third female lead, yet she dares to think about winning the Golden Lily award! With me around, she can forget about it!”
“By the way, you just said that Jiang Huai invested in this for Tan Ming?”
Dong Ling nodded seriously. “That’s right. I heard that he invested a lot of money. He’s really willing to spend a lot of money to win a beauty’s smile!”
As Dong Ling spoke, she even revealed an envious expression.
Tan Si looked at Dong Ling’s yearning expression and suddenly thought of something. However, the people she had sent previously had followed him for a long time, but they did not manage to take any photos that could prove that their relationship was not innocent. “You also think that Tan Ming and Jiang Huai have some unspeakable secret?”
Dong Ling scratched her head in confusion. “1 don’t understand, but 1 feel that it’s not very likely for him to do this just for an artist under him. Given it’s such a big deal, 1 don’t think she should just be his ordinary friend, nor do they have the relationship between an ordinary boss and an artist.”
Tan Si narrowed her eyes and recalled Dong Ling’s words. Her fingers on her lap tapped rhythmically as she said affirmatively, “That’s right. With Tan Ming’s flirtatious look that likes to seduce men, there must be something going on between the two of them! It’s just that they hid it too well and it hasn’t been dug out.”
“Previously, I felt that Jiang Huai treated Tan Ming too well. Tan Ming hasn’t gotten a divorce yet, but she dared to seduce a man in such a high-profile manner! Isn’t this giving me something to use against her?”
Tan Si felt that she couldn’t sit still and wait for death. She didn’t have a chance to contact the Si family anymore. She couldn’t even contact Si Cheng’s people now, but she didn’t want to contact them anymore. The Si family was in a scandal, and Si Cheng was fighting for power with his illegitimate siblings. It was still unknown if he could maintain his current position.
If he failed, Tan Si did not think that the other party was worthy of her. She had to be more realistic now. Since she was in the entertainment industry, if she could get to know Jiang Huai and rely on him, she would not have to worry about not having good opportunities. At that time, she could also enjoy Tan Ming’s current treatment!
When Dong Ling saw that Tan Si had taken the bait, she immediately agreed. “Sister Si has sharp eyes. Tan Ming is a white lotus. She looks harmless, but her core is dark. If you ask me, she doesn’t look as good as you.”
“Otherwise, why would CEO Si insist on divorcing Tan Ming for you back then? This is proof that she’s inferior to you!”
Dong Ling had been by Tan Si’s side for so long and knew a lot. She also knew Tan Si well. After hearing these words, Tan Si was overjoyed. “You’re much sweeter than before. She’s not as good as me. She’s been like this since she was young. She’s a married woman with children. How can she compare to me, who’s single and has no burden? An ugly duckling really thinks she’s a white swan!”
After Dong Ling’s flattery, Tan Si had also made up her mind. Even if it was just to prove that she was stronger than Tan Ming, she would snatch him over.
A month later, it was finally time for Tan Ming to start filming.
Three days before filming started, everyone had to go in early to familiarize themselves with each other and read the script..
