From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids
Chapter 42 Dinner Party

Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Dinner Party

Ye Zhiliang turned his head to look at the newcomer.

"And you are?"

Zhang Qiaoqiao was determined to get along well with all the leaders.

So she quickly introduced herself, "Director Ye, I’m Zhang Qiaoqiao, my agent is Sister Fan, and I play the main character’s sister."

Ye Zhiliang looked her up and down, revealing a peculiar smile.

"So you are Zhang Qiaoqiao."

Seeing that Director Ye knew her, Zhang Qiaoqiao swiftly placed the milk tea in her hand on his table.

"Director Ye, this is the milk tea I just bought, please enjoy it."

Ye Zhiliang glanced at her and said with a smile, "You are very thoughtful."

"By the way, I just looked through the entire script, and there’s a role that’s better than the fallen princess, more suitable for you. After work today, remember to come and have dinner with the other actors to discuss it."

Zhang Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded, "Okay, Director Ye!"

At this moment, she felt that Director Ye’s personality was much better than the strict Director Chen’s.

After coming out, Zhang Qiaoqiao’s phone rang.

It was her agent calling.

"Sister Fan."

Chen Qingfan: "Zhang Qiaoqiao, you haven’t been hanging around with that Su Xingwan, have you?"

Zhang Qiaoqiao hesitated and said nothing.

Chen Qingfan: "I’m telling you, Su Xingwan is the kind of person who only wants to climb the social ladder. Stay away from her, or she’ll sell you out before you know it."

"Sister Fan, it’s not as serious as you think." Zhang Qiaoqiao inexplicably wanted to vouch for Su Xingwan.

"Not that serious? She even dared to come over and borrow money from you. She’s very opportunistic, only clinging to the rich. Now that she’s down and out, she’s turning to you, the fool, for money."

Zhang Qiaoqiao didn’t want to continue this conversation, so she changed the subject.

"Sister Fan, a new director came to our crew today. He’s treating all of us actors to dinner tonight. I’m part of it, so I’ll talk to you later."

After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.

On the other end, Chen Qingfan: "..."

Since when did the "Emperor" crew get a new director? How come she had not been informed?

Ye Yixing was dragged back for dinner by his father. He poked at the dishes on the table impatiently.

"Dad, did Ye Zhiliang go to some crew as a director?"

Ye’s father hit him with his chopsticks: "Watch your manners, he is your Uncle Ye."

"Uncle Ye? Please. All day long, doing nothing right and just watching women’s skirts."

"Ye Yixing! You’ve gone too far!" Ye’s father put down his bowl and chopsticks, slamming the table in anger.

Seeing this, Ye Yixing couldn’t eat anymore, got up, and left.

"I’m going to find my cousin!"

Su Xingwan was sitting in the lounge with the two little ones waiting for their scene.

At this time, Director Li came over.

"Su Xingwan, Director Ye wants you to meet him in his room to go over the script tonight."

Su Xingwan was taken aback, "What scene requires visiting at night? After work, I have to take my niece and nephew home."

Director Li paused, "Su Xingwan, you’re smart, make your choice. Either go to him, or your role, and the roles of the two children will be gone."

Su Xingwan did not hesitate at all.

"Director Li, thank you and Director Chen for taking care of us these past days. After work today, I’m heading home."

Hearing this, Director Li sighed.

"Alright then, I’ll let Director Ye know."

After finishing her last role as an extra for the day, Su Xingwan held the hands of the two little ones.

"Let’s go! We’re going home!"

"Home!" the two little ones said joyfully.

At this moment, Ding Xiang came over, "Su Xingwan, didn’t Director Ye say we’ll have dinner together after work?"

Su Xingwan smiled, "I’m not going, you all go ahead."

Ding Xiang looked hesitant, "Su Xingwan, I heard you used to be friends with Zhang Qiaoqiao, right?"

Su Xingwan: "Not really friends, but we’ve gotten along well in the crew these past few days."

"Exactly, Su Xingwan, you should come to this dinner, Zhang Qiaoqiao is going."

"What does her going have to do with me?"

"It’s not that. Zhang Qiaoqiao is going to Director Ye’s room alone tonight to discuss the script."

Su Xingwan was stunned.

Ding Xiang glanced around, "That’s all I have to say, you decide for yourself."

Su Xingwan stood there, a little hesitant.

The two little ones looked at their suddenly non-moving aunt.

Soon after, Su Xingwan called Tang Muya, and the call was quickly connected.

"Miss Tang, are you off work now?"

"I’m done with work, what’s up?"

"Oh, it’s like this. The new director in our crew wants to treat us to dinner today. It’s not ideal to bring the little ones along, so I wanted to leave them with you for a while."

"Oh, that’s fine, I’m about to leave Hengdian, bring them over now."

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

She then hurriedly took the kids over and sent them to Tang Muya, who was about to leave in her car.

She patted their heads, "Auntie has some things to handle, be good at Aunt Tang’s house."

The two little ones looked at her reluctantly, "Auntie, make sure you come to pick us up soon."

Su Xingwan smiled, "I will, I will."

When Tang Muya’s car left, she joined the other leading actors and got on the crew’s bus to a five-star hotel.

Ye Zhiliang saw her arrive and showed a smiling face towards her.

Su Xingwan remained expressionless, ignoring him.

Ye Zhiliang didn’t get angry; after all, beauties always have a bit of a temper.

In the lively private room, while everyone was toasting Director Ye, suddenly, someone uninvited walked in from outside.

"Yo! Uncle Ye, drinking here with others?"

Ye Yixing suddenly appeared here.

Ye Zhiliang, seeing him, was momentarily surprised, then piled on a smile, "Ah, it’s my dear nephew. Would you like to join us?"

"I’ll pass. Enjoy yourself. Oh, and don’t go sleeping around with women too much. Your body’s not what it used to be. If you keel over tonight on some woman, I’ll have to handle your aftermath."

Ye Zhiliang’s expression changed after hearing this.

The other directors and actors looked embarrassed.

After saying this, Ye Yixing glanced around the dinner party, and upon seeing Su Xingwan among them, he paused.

She was actually in this crew?

Su Xingwan was also quite surprised to see him.

Not long after Ye Yixing left, he began to hesitate.

This dinner dragged on for a long while. Zhang Qiaoqiao was fed quite a bit of alcohol, her face turning red, and as it was getting dark, many actors finished eating and left early.

Zhang Qiaoqiao wanted to leave with them.

Then, her hand was suddenly grasped by Ye Zhiliang, his big hand moving up and down her own.

Zhang Qiaoqiao froze, sobered up a bit, and quickly withdrew her hand.

"Director Ye, you must be drunk."

Ye Zhiliang smiled and replied, "Yes... I’m a bit drunk." As he spoke, he leaned in closer.

"Zhang Qiaoqiao, come back to the room with me. I just want to discuss with you the role that’s suitable for you."
