Chapter 309: Chapter 309: The One with a Boyfriend!

Seeing Fu Shinuan approaching, Producer Wang beckoned to her, "Xiao Nuan, you’re here!"

Fu Shinuan’s sullen expression from just a moment ago changed, and her face broke into a sweet smile, "Brother Wen!"

Producer Wang’s real name was Wang Zhiwen, and some of the more familiar performers in the company called him Brother Wen.

"Xiao Nuan, this is Ye Zhenzhen. As it happens, this is only the second time I’ve met Zhenzhen, haha, the last time was at Lemon Channel, introduced by Best Actor Xiao."

The words of Producer Wang weren’t really intended to introduce Fu Shinuan, but rather to tell her that Ye Zhenzhen wasn’t someone he, Producer Wang, was planning to cast as the female lead—it was she who was introduced by Best Actor Xiao, the male lead.

Ever since Fu Shinuan found out she wasn’t going to be the female lead, she had been calling him frequently over the past few days.

But they had already signed a contract with Ye Zhenzhen, and even if they were to break the contract, Xiao Yi wouldn’t act either, which would mean all the preparations they had made earlier would be in vain.

In the end, since Fu Shinuan was Young Master Cheng’s girlfriend, and Young Master Cheng knew their boss President Tang, Producer Wang was forced to cast her as the second female lead.

Fu Shinuan looked at Ye Zhenzhen with a meaningful gaze, then said with a brimming smile, "Hello, Sister Ye, nice to meet you. I hope you’ll take good care of me in the future~"

"Hello, Sister Fu, you’re far too polite. I’m the one coming to Baisheng to film, so I should be asking for your care, don’t you think?"

Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes curved into a smile as she tilted her head slightly, looking at Fu Shinuan.

Fu Shinuan’s smile faltered; she hadn’t expected Ye Zhenzhen to call her ’sister’ so directly. Taking advantage of her?

"Ah, right, let’s take care of each other!" Fu Shinuan nodded.

Ye Zhenzhen saw this and couldn’t help but think that the girl seemed somewhat naive at that moment, quite the opposite of her aggressive demeanor in the parking lot earlier.

Unexpectedly, the girl turned out to be quite the actress.

She was good at acting; her facial expressions were even better than those she did in movies.

"Why not take care of me too!"

Everyone turned around at the voice to see Xiao Yi, Feige, along with Yang Pinghui and his assistant, walking toward them.

After exchanging greetings, Xiao Yi walked up to Fu Shinuan, his handsome face carrying a mischievous smile, "Sister Fu is so good at taking care, don’t forget to take care of me too!"

Fu Shinuan’s fair little face turned slightly red, and she stepped back twice, bowing her head, "Best Actor Xiao is joking. I was hoping you could take care of me."

She hadn’t had much interaction with Xiao Yi before, so why was he suddenly so close to her now? And speaking so close to her...

Feige: ...

What’s the situation with him? Flirting with Fu Shinuan in front of everyone?

With Ye Zhenzhen standing right there!

No, that has nothing to do with Ye Zhenzhen, pshaw!

"Oh~is that so?" Xiao Yi continued forward.

Everyone: ...

Xiao Yi fancied Fu Shinuan, this pure little white flower?

Xia Zhi watched from the side, her face going from smiley with Xiao Yi’s arrival to now losing all its mirth, looking toward Fu Shinuan with wary eyes.

Fu Shinuan’s eyes darted quickly before she looked up straight into Xiao Yi’s enticing eyes, and said somewhat urgently, "Xiao, Best Actor Xiao, don’t stand so close to me; otherwise, I might misunderstand that you, you like me, and I, I have a boyfriend!"

As she said the last part, ’I have a boyfriend!’, Fu Shinuan instantly straightened her spine, her pure and cute little face showing determination.

That meant, even though she blushed at the sight of Xiao Yi, she wouldn’t abandon her boyfriend for him!

Ye Zhenzhen: ....

Producer Wang and Yang Pinghui exchanged glances. What was going on here?

"I’m going in first."

After saying that, Yang Pinghui, along with his assistant, entered the meeting room.

Producer Wang hesitated, not quite willing to leave. He was a bit worried about Fu Shinuan but didn’t find it appropriate to say anything. If Xiao Yi really liked Fu Shinuan and the two of them were tied up in promoting a CP (couple pairing), that would be a really good thing!

Upon hearing Fu Shinuan say she had a boyfriend, Xia Zhi felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Even Xiao Yi himself couldn’t help but nearly burst into laughter.

He stood up straight, said nothing, and entered the meeting room.

He had wanted to find Fu Shinuan and say a few words to her, to bring up the incident in the parking lot. But looking at the girl now, she seemed so carefree and oblivious.

On second thought, he decided to let it be.

Suddenly, it seemed rather uninteresting.

At the moment, the expression on Producer Wang’s face was incredibly expressive. He glanced specifically at Fu Shinuan and then strode into the meeting room.

Today, aside from a script read-through, the most important thing was to let the main cast meet and get to know each other for a simple exchange, to ensure everyone could quickly get into character when shooting started.

Xia Zhi hadn’t met Fu Shinuan in person before and had only seen her short videos online. Initially, when Producer Wang had strongly recommended Fu Shinuan, she had some resistance.

But now, seeing Fu Shinuan in person and after all the ruckus, she suddenly didn’t feel so resistant anymore. She even found herself favoring Fu Shinuan because of her statement "I have a boyfriend,".

Looking at the girl from a different perspective, she thought her looks were quite nice—she was a cute and delicate young girl, which matched quite well with the character of the second female lead in the script.

Fu Shinuan, noticing Xia Zhi’s scrutinizing gaze, looked herself over and then with a confused expression asked Xia Zhi, "Screenwriter Xia, is there something wrong with how I’m dressed today?"

Xia Zhi: "Ah? Why would you ask that?"

"You’ve been staring at me, I thought maybe there was something wrong with my outfit..."

"No!" Xia Zhi, waving her hand and chuckling, said, "I was thinking that I saw that fur coat you’re wearing at China World Trade Center a few days ago; is it from the third store on the right side when you come out of the elevator, the one named whatever it was?"

Fu Shinuan’s eyes lit up, "Yes, that’s the one."

"I wanted to buy it at the time, but I felt it didn’t suit me and so I didn’t go to have a look..."

And just like that, the two of them were chatting again!

Ye Zhenzhen and Liu Rui looked at each other. "Time is up, shall we go in first?"

Xia Zhi nodded, "Right, right, let’s go."

She hadn’t yet given Xiao Yi the pan-fried buns and soy milk she was holding.

....

Han Jiangxue was still asleep at home when she was woken up by Tang Ying’s phone call.

"Xiao Xue, I just heard that the crew of ’Ren Pingsheng’ is selecting a new second female lead, and it looks like they might choose An Xi!"

Han Jiangxue, still a bit groggy, instantly woke up upon hearing Tang Ying’s words.

She got out of bed with the phone in her hand and said angrily, "An Xi?"

How on earth did they get involved with An Xi, that opportunist!

"Yes, Xiao Xue, can you come out now? Let’s go to Lemon Channel together and talk to Director Yang and Producer Qi again. After all, contracts have been signed, and I’ve heard An Xi has returned to Jiangcheng today and is going to see Director Yang and the others."
