Chapter 97: Chapter 68 Satisfaction_2

The opening ceremony had ended, and the next part of the agenda was for all the actors to sit together and read through the script.

Shu Wan arrived when everyone else was already there.

The entertainment circle is neither too big nor too small; for those who act frequently, they’ve already collaborated on quite a few dramas and are quite familiar with each other.

"Yun Ni" majority of the main cast knew each other, and the atmosphere on-site was quite lively with everyone greeting each other.

But Shu Wan sat on the side, somewhat out of place.

After all, she truly didn’t know these people.

This industry, the entertainment circle, was one she had never stepped foot in; if nobody actively approached her, she quietly read her script.

However, due to her silence and her outstanding appearance and demeanor, she ended up standing out even more.

Shu Wan played Su Wan, the Marquis Mansion’s legitimate daughter, a character typical for her dazzling, ostentatious, and noble traits. To fit the character, Shu Wan had intentionally worn a long skirt embroidered with pale peonies today.

Her makeup emphasized her features more than usual, turning her incredibly gorgeous appearance into something resembling a bold and colorful watercolor painting.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and as a gentle breeze blew, a few strands brushed against her ear. Shu Wan instinctively lifted her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear.

She was a lady brought up with Royal Family etiquette, groomed according to the standards set for the Mother of the Country.

Elegance and upbringing were woven into her very bones.

Even a simple action like tucking her hair away was completely different from others, as if she were a painting come to life.

Initially, everyone was busy with greetings, but gradually, everyone’s gaze fell upon Shu Wan, their eyes unable to conceal their amazement.

Jealousy is easily bred in people, especially when faced with Shu Wan, whose status was so much lower than theirs, yet who was unmistakably more beautiful, triggering their sense of insecurity.

Lin Man was originally talking to the female third lead, Wang Jing, but her gaze became naturally colder when it swept over Shu Wan.

She had climbed to her present position by leveraging her beauty, so she understood all too well how important a pretty face can be in the entertainment industry.

This TV drama was very crucial for her; she had always wanted to break into the film industry, but opportunities had been scarce.

This time, Director Zhang was originally from the film industry, and if she could collaborate well in this TV drama, she would be able to compete for his next film.

She couldn’t let Shu Wan steal her limelight.

Wang Jing noticed Lin Man’s gaze and consoled her, "Don’t worry, her character is a villain. The audience won’t like her. Your character is much better than hers."

"I have nothing to worry about." Lin Man withdrew her gaze, a hint of disdain at the corner of her eyes, "On the contrary, it’s her who’s overambitious. It looks like she wants to replace me. I’m worried about what she might do to me."

"If she dares do anything to you, your fans would certainly tear her apart. Rest assured."

"Hmph," Lin Man snorted softly.

"However, I heard she has a strong background. She came in a Rolls-Royce last time," Wang Jing suddenly remembered some gossip she had heard these past few days, "And that car is a limited edition."

"Strong?" A flicker of mockery crossed Lin Man’s eyes, "I’ve never heard of her name. Some nobody, who knows which sugar daddy she latched onto, really thinks too highly of herself."

Lin Man was a well-known heiress within the entertainment industry, and the Lin Family was regarded as a prominent household in Imperial City. Hearing her say she had never heard of Shu Wan, Wang Jing immediately believed Shu Wan didn’t have a significant background.

Even if she had a sugar daddy, it didn’t matter. In these times, beauties in the entertainment circle come and go continuously, who knows when the sugar daddy would change his tastes.

"Don’t you worry." Knowing that Shu Wan didn’t have any significant background, Wang Jing spoke of her with much more confidence, straightening her back, "If she makes you unhappy, we’ll make sure she’s unhappy too."

How others harbored their ulterior motives, Shu Wan did not know at the moment; she was preoccupied with a physics problem from a college entrance examination.

In truth, according to the current college entrance exam system, Shu Wan only needed to study Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, history, biology, and chemistry, but she was also interested in physics, politics, and geography.

So when she reviewed, she tackled questions in these subjects as well.

But physics was indeed a great challenge for Shu Wan; after pondering a problem for about a minute, she still didn’t quite understand how the formula was derived.

Thus, Shu Wan took out her phone, snapped a photo of the problem, and sent it directly to Fu Yang.

Outside the Film and Television City, Fu Yang was comfortably lying in a hotel playing games; he was slightly startled when he received the message.
