Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Occasions of Sensuality and Partying
Rong Yan entered and immediately noticed quite a few ‘elite individuals’ dressed in suits and leather shoes, the majority of men looking rather old, each with a portly appearance.
Furthermore, there were high-level executives from AQ and directors present as well, chatting with some investor. With the clinking of glasses and occasional bursts of pleased laughter, it was evident that their conversation was going smoothly.
In another corner on the sofa, Fu Ya was obsequiously speaking with an executive.
Not far from her was Xia Xue, who had deliberately dressed up.
Xia Xue wore a dress resembling a student uniform that day. She naturally had the girl-next-door look, not flashy, but this style was popular in the entertainment industry. Generally, the heroines in idol dramas were portrayed as kind and fragile “pure girls,” and strictly speaking, Xia Xue’s appearance suited the leading lady type more than Fu Ya’s did.
Her innocent looks, combined with the light blue skirt resembling a uniform, her slender waist and pale thighs swaying as if boneless, clung to the executive chatting with Fu Ya. All the while, enjoying the feeling of his hand exploring beneath her skirt, the executive’s hypocritical demeanor fitted perfectly with the expression “a wolf in sheep’s clothing!”
“Mr. Lu, the web series you’re going to shoot… um…” Xia Xue felt her thigh being maliciously pinched and nearly burst into tears from the pain, yet she had to squeeze out a coquettish look on her face, leaning weakly against the man while panting, she continued, “That web series… Yaya is very suitable… Can we go audition?”
The executive was already of a certain age, yet well-maintained, and amidst a group of fat-bellied old men, he was barely considered a successful middle-aged man. Underneath his cultured exterior hid a heart that looked down on people. While his hand moved over Xia Xue’s fair thighs, he glanced casually at Fu Ya and scoffed, whether unintentionally or deliberately saying, “The female lead of our upcoming web series is a demure university student, which might not be quite suitable for her role. However, there is a secondary female character, a rich young miss, which would be more fitting for her.”
Fu Ya was grinding her teeth with frustration; she had certainly set her sights on the role of the female lead, otherwise, she wouldn’t be trying so hard to please this man. While maintaining a smile, she cautiously said, “Mr. Lu, I can play a university student too, and I am about to compete in the finals. If I achieve a good result, and your company promotes my first show, you’re sure to gain a lot of attention.”
She was the daughter of a shareholder of KT Entertainment, but only a minor shareholder at that. KT Entertainment itself was a company controlled by Li Group, where the status of shareholders wasn’t high. As the daughter of a minor shareholder, her status was even less esteemed than many people assumed.
Many gave her face because of the Li Group backing KT Entertainment, while others, who understood the intricacies, were not even willing to do that.
The investor of the web series’s IP resource she had been eyeing was not willing to extend her that courtesy. It vexed Fu Ya so much that she even devised a plan to ‘voluntarily’ offer her ‘good friend’ to the investor, hoping he would remember her sense of responsibility and leave the role of the female lead to her.
After all, she had made it to the finals, while even Xia Xue, who was only in the top ten, got the pleasing role of the third female in the drama, yet she was asked to play the odious second female lead—over her dead body!
