Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Ye·Green Tea·Envy
“Ye Xian, how did you get here?”
Ye Xian didn’t even glance at her, heading straight towards Li Jiahua.
Behind the camera, Li Jiahua saw him coming, cheerfully putting an arm around his shoulders and introducing him to everyone, “Let’s all take a break, this is Ye Xian, who will be playing the new character Gu Chen that’s about to make an appearance in the show; he’ll be your partner from now on.”
As the words were spoken, Cheng Jingshu’s face instantly changed, “He’s joining ‘Business World’?”
“Yeah, what’s up, Senior Jingshu?”
Ye Xian tilted his head, curiously looking at Cheng Jingshu.
“You? With what you’ve got?”
Such poor acting skills and reputation, he dared to insult the TV drama she starred in?
The mockery and disdain in Cheng Jingshu’s tone were unmistakable. Ye Xian listened, his head slightly bowed, fingers uncertainly twisting the corner of his clothes, his voice trembling slightly, “I know my acting skills and fame can’t compare to Senior Jingshu’s, but I will work hard not to drag down the crew and will put my all into every scene. I hope Senior Jingshu won’t reject me.”
Cheng Jingshu, “???” Who is he trying to look pitiable for?
“Or does Senior Jingshu think I’m here because of connections, that I got in through the back door?”
Li Jiahua frowned in displeasure when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Jingshu discontentedly, “Jingshu, Ye Xian was selected to join the cast through an audition I personally supervised. If you have any objections, talk to me. Don’t be prejudiced against him.”
After speaking, he patted Ye Xian’s shoulder in a friendly and kind manner, “Ye Xian, don’t worry. Your acting skills are good, you don’t have to feel inferior or scared. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can always ask me.”
Implicitly, he would take care of him in the crew.
Ye Xian nodded obediently and gratefully, “Thank you, Director~”
Cheng Jingshu’s eyes widened, “I… ”
Ye Xian: “Oh, Director, may I ask where Senior Jiang Xin is? I’d like to run through the scenes with her first.”
Just arriving on set and he had already quickly entered work mode, truly a good actor that he had set his eye on.
Li Jiahua was quite pleased, “She’s in the resting room. I’ll have the stage manager take you there, and you can also get familiar with the surroundings.”
“Alright, thank you, Director!”
This green tea man! Where had he learned how to play these mind games, showing them off right in front of her, it was absolutely nauseating!
Cheng Jingshu glared at his receding back, wishing she could gouge a piece of flesh from him.
Xiao Wen tried to take the cup from her hand, but she violently threw it to the ground.
Cheng Jingshu’s fingers were tightly clenched, making a crackling noise, “Ye Xian, you’ve embarrassed me time and again, just you wait!”
In the resting room, the actor playing Ning Xiner, Jiang Xin, was looking at the script.
Halfway into her reading, her emotions collapsed as she threw the script away, her hands buried in her messy hair, she sighed deeply.
Ye Xian walked in, just in time to catch this scene.
He stooped to pick up the script and saw the scene described on it: the female lead summoned her courage to confess to the male lead for the third time, but failed again due to Ning Xiner’s successful scheme…
The clear, pleasant voice of the youth came from above, Jiang Xin looked up, shocked and briefly taken aback at the sight of his excessively handsome face, but she quickly recovered.
The production team had notified her two days earlier that they were adding a new CP to her character in the drama—Gu Chen, to be played by FOR member Ye Xian.
She thought then that indeed, even the director and the scriptwriter had given up on her, pairing her with a notorious marketing hype actor.
But she didn’t expect that Ye Xian in person would be this handsome, and also possessing such a distinguished aura.
