The fans were overjoyed, but the fans of the other families kept quiet.
After all, almost half of the female celebrities in the entertainment industry had gone for the audition this time. Now that Xia Wanyuan had been chosen, the others were naturally unhappy.
[Hehe, the wife of the richest man. Amazing. Congratulations.]
[The person in front, don’t be sarcastic. Even if Xia Wanyuan isn’t the wife of the richest man, her strength is enough for her to get this audition qualification.]
[ Tsk tsk, you make it sound as if Su Yueran doesn’t have the strength. She also has a background, but she’s not as high-profile as Xia Wanyuan, afraid that others don’t know that she’s the wife of the richest man. ]
Xia Wanyuan had many fans, but in the entire entertainment industry, there were also many other fans. Everyone was a little unhappy that their idol did not succeed in the audition. Her words were sarcastic, making Xia Wanyuan’s fans extremely angry.
Just as everyone was arguing online, Director Charon and the rest were walking out of the Beijing Hotel with their luggage.
They had come to choose suitable actors. Now that the actors had been chosen, there was no need to stay in China.
Director Charon walked at the front. The chauffeur had already opened the door for him and he had already stepped into the car. A reporter with a microphone appeared from nowhere. “Hello, Director Charon! I’m a reporter from China Film and Television. Can I ask you a few questions? It’s just a few minutes.”
“Move, we don’t accept interviews!” At this moment, the bodyguard behind him walked forward and stopped the reporter.
Director Charon frowned unhappily and got into the car.
Seeing that the car door was about to be closed, the reporter shouted, “China’s social media is spreading that you’re quite satisfied with Xia Wanyuan. Is it true that you’ll invite her to be the female supporting role in your new movie?”
The door that was about to close was suddenly pushed open by Director Charon.
His face was filled with displeasure, and his brows were furrowed into a frown. He was the undisputed king of the movie industry, so his words were naturally very arrogant. “How can a rude person like Xia Wanyuan with no acting skills be worthy of acting in my movie?”
“Then do you mean that Xia Wanyuan didn’t receive your invitation?” The reporter’s eyes lit up and he immediately asked.
“I’ll never let her appear in my movie,” Director Charon said and closed the car door.
The bodyguards also retreated. The reporter picked up the camera and checked for a long time. After confirming that Director Charon’s words had been recorded, he was relieved and made a call. His face was filled with smugness. “I’m really going to be rich this time.”
In the Jiang family’s villa, Zou Man lay on Jiang Kui’s bed and smiled. “Is it done?”
The reporter nodded repeatedly. “It’s done! You’re right. Director Charon was especially angry when he heard Xia Wanyuan’s name. The news on the Internet that Xia Wanyuan was chosen was fake. Director Charon even said that Xia Wanyuan would never appear in his movie.”
“Okay, half of the money has been transferred to your bank card. Send me the video and the other half will be transferred.”
“Okay! I’ll find a place to send it to you now.”
Not long after, Zou Man received a video from the reporter on her phone. Seeing how angry Director Charon was in the video, the corners of Zou Man’s lips curled up slightly. She made a call. “Continue to publicize the fact that Xia Wanyuan has been chosen by Director Charon. The more widely it spreads, the better.”
After doing this, Zou Man threw her phone aside and touched her stomach, her eyes filled with smugness. “Baby, whether Mommy can successfully enter the Jiang family depends on you.”
On the Internet, more and more media began to publicize that Xia Wanyuan had been chosen by Director Carlon. Everyone even labeled her as the “Light of the Chinese”. After all, she was the first person to play an important role in an international movie of this level.
“Why do I feel that this trend is wrong?” Chen Yun had been paying attention to news related to Xia Wanyuan online. They had not received any news of a contract, but these people on the Internet said it as if it was true.
This was blatant flattery. If Xia Wanyuan was not chosen, the backlash from the netizens would be very serious.
Chen Yun hurriedly contacted the public relations team and got them to clarify online. However, strangely, the popularity of their clarification was suppressed, and only a few people saw their clarification.
——
At the Jun Corporation Hotel, after learning that Lu Li worked in a company beside the film studio base, Xia Wanyuan prepared to bring her along.
“Sister Xia.” Lu Li stood at the entrance of the hotel and waved at Xia Wanyuan. Xuan Sheng stood beside her with a gloomy expression.
“Get in.” Xia Wanyuan gestured for Lu Li to get in.
“Miss Xia.” Xuan Sheng smiled at Xia Wanyuan, and his dim eyes lit up.
Even if Xia Wanyuan did nothing and just stood there quietly, one could draw strength from her.
“CEO Xuan, why are you standing here?”
“It’s nothing. I saw that this little girl’s legs are inconvenient, so I sent her down.” Xuan Sheng touched the prayer beads on his wrist. “Are you still sending her back tonight?”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.
“Then I’ll wait here tonight. Her leg is so injured, I can help.” Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes flickering.
Xia Wanyuan was silent for a moment before looking straight at Xuan Sheng. There was a smile in his eyes. In Xia Wanyuan’s opinion, this smile was as fragile as a layer of glass that would shatter with a touch. “CEO Xuan, Lu Li is an innocent young lady.”
What she meant was, don’t use her.
Someone as smart as Xia Wanyuan could tell what Xuan Sheng was thinking.
The corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up slightly, and the fragile smile in his eyes disappeared. He looked much more dispirited. “If only you weren’t so smart.”
Lu Li sat in the back of the car, completely unaware of what had happened. She did not quite understand what Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng had said and could only listen quietly.
“Alright.” Xuan Sheng shrugged slightly. “You guys can leave. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do. If I have nothing on tonight, I’ll come here to pick her up.”
“Okay, thank you.” Only then did Xia Wanyuan start the car and leave.
Behind her, Xuan Sheng stood quietly. The smile on his face disappeared. He did not want much. He only wanted to see her and speak to her.
Lu Li sat in the car and subconsciously looked back. Through the car window, Xuan Sheng’s figure became thinner. Lu Li felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that Xuan Sheng seemed a little pitiful.
Xia Wanyuan arrived at the production team and had just entered the base. Every time she met someone, everyone congratulated her enthusiastically.
“Congratulations, I heard that you’ve chosen Director Charon’s new movie.”
“Amazing, it’s all over the Internet. Director Charon thinks highly of you. Sister Xia, you’re indeed the best.”
