Chapter 1052: 1040 Reality World [5] Chen Shao (3 more)

Upon hearing these words, the man finally looked up.

He reached out and pressed a switch.

The monitor in front of him displayed the surveillance video of the rest cabin next door.

His gaze swept over others and stopped on the figure in the last seat.

The book covering the other person’s face had slid down somewhat, allowing a view of the eyes behind it, long curled lashes casting shadows beneath the eyelids.

For a moment, Mu Xingzhi felt as if he were dreaming.

The butler was right; almost no change marked the person’s face, except for a persistent frown that seemed impossible to dispel.

It reminded Mu Xingzhi of the first time he saw Ye Shaohua, ten years ago.

Back then, everyone on West Island had heard of the famously renowned Ye Shaohua from South Island.

He followed his master, as she stood on a rock at the entrance of South Island, apparently being punished for some wrongdoing by the South Island’s master.

The punishment was severe.

Mu Xingzhi had never received punishment, but he had personally executed it on others, knowing that everyone who endured it faced immense pressure, both mentally and physically.

His master had told him to help her up.

But Ye Shaohua, that person, just couldn’t hide the pride and spirit that lay deep in her bones.

Tossing aside the grass in her mouth carelessly, she flashed an indifferent smile, "I can walk by myself."

There wasn’t a hint of embarrassment on her face.

Everyone said Mu Xingzhi was arrogant, but at that time, he thought, how much better was that person from South Island?

"Young Master?" the butler called softly.

Mu Xingzhi snapped back to reality and turned off the surveillance video, "She’s really made something of herself, but after leaving the island for five years, with international flight routes blocked, she ends up trapped here."

"That’s why it’s perfect that you’re here, Young Master," the butler said with a smile.

Mu Xingzhi did not immediately speak. After a long pause, he said, "Have the documents at the building been dealt with?"

"I was just about to tell you," the butler composed himself, "Mu Yi has sent a message that all the documents at the ME Building have been destroyed. More than just the Mu Family are looking into it— at least ten powers are interested."

"They really are interested in South Island," Mu Xingzhi scoffed coldly.

The butler, staying neutral, no longer said anything.

Meanwhile, Sister Jiang fidgeted nervously, knowing that upon returning to the country and landing, she hadn’t seen that person who wanted to "sleep with" Ye Shaohua on the charter flight appear.

"Sister Jiang, are you okay?" the assistant asked upon noticing Sister Jiang looking around restlessly.

Sister Jiang immediately regained her composure, "I’m fine, I’m fine."

No matter how long she waited, that person did not come.

"If you’re fine, why don’t we hurry up and leave?" Ye Shaohua said while playing with her phone, unable to help glancing sideways.

Her white top accentuated her cold eyes and eyebrows, exposing a large area of fair skin around her neck.

Sister Jiang shook her head.

She thought that if she revealed her thoughts, Ye Shaohua might kill her.

Only after getting into the company-provided babysitter car did Sister Jiang start to believe Ye Shaohua’s explanation.

Could it be a kind-hearted big shot really looking out for their compatriots, eager to give them a lift?

Feeling that those big shots wouldn’t care about them, Sister Jiang perked up, "I wonder who brought us back. Shaohua, did you notice, when we left the airport, we didn’t take the usual nor the VIP exit. Was it some password-protected passageway?"

"I didn’t notice if you hadn’t mentioned it," the assistant replied, recalling the moment, "There really wasn’t many people when we came out. I was surprised that we didn’t see any media."

Ye Shaohua put on sunglasses and leaned against the window to take a nap.

Without speaking a word.

Half an hour later.

The car stopped at the entrance of Star City Entertainment.

"Let’s go to the physical training room first," Sister Jiang arranged briskly, "You need to work on your physique."

Sister Jiang was always busy, answering calls non-stop as she walked.

"You need to be careful with the play from Director Xu. The female lead has been learning dance since childhood, and I remember you didn’t study dance as your major in college. You need to practice your physique diligently these days." Whether it’s acting, star power, or appearance, Sister Jiang had great confidence in Ye Shaohua landing the lead role in "Light."

Moreover, Sister Jiang had privately liaised with the assistant director, and the whole drama crew was very satisfied with Ye Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua responded nonchalantly.

The group headed towards the training room, just as another group approached from the opposite direction.

Men Shanshan smiled fakely at Ye Shaohua, "Sister Ye, I heard you are going to get the lead role in ’Light.’ Congratulations."

Who in Star City Entertainment didn’t know that Star City’s young master had taken a liking to Ye Shaohua? So as soon as she arrived in Star City, she got Sister Jiang, a top-grade agent, on her side.

Though to say, everything Ye Shaohua achieved today was fought for by herself.

Yet Men Shanshan couldn’t help but feel jealous.

Ye Shaohua, with sunglasses on, didn’t even glance at Men Shanshan.

That only fueled Men Shanshan’s anger more.

Sister Jiang was surprised; Star City had investments in "Light," so the lead actress wasn’t just determined by the director. Although Sister Jiang felt assured, hearing it from Men Shanshan’s mouth made her quite pleased.

However, her own ancestor always had the ability to make people furious without paying the consequences.

Beside, having been in the Entertainment Circle for a long time, Sister Jiang didn’t care much about the stupid things Men Shanshan said.

She followed behind Ye Shaohua, continuing their way to the training room.

It was at that moment Sister Jiang’s phone rang again. After answering it, her eyes widened in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

This voice was unlike the usually composed Sister Jiang.

Ye Shaohua pushed her glasses up, "What happened?"

"Just now, just now... we got a call from above saying that Men Shanshan has been confirmed as the lead actress for ’Light,’ and they’ve arranged another movie audition for you this afternoon," Sister Jiang was still in shock for quite a while.

The assistant was in disbelief, "How’s that possible? Director Xu has praised Sister Ye..."

"I heard it was the young master himself who chose Men Shanshan," Sister Jiang said uneasily, glancing at Ye Shaohua.

When Ye Shaohua first arrived in Star City, Star City’s young master had shown intentions of pursuing her, hence why everyone at Star City had been very polite to Ye Shaohua from the start.

Although Ye Shaohua hadn’t agreed, the young master’s attitude prevailed.

Yet, this time, he unexpectedly interfered in selecting the lead actress.
