“Luo Xi? I know her. She’s really beautiful and super popular right now. I heard her manager is the gold medal manager at Huasheng, and many big companies are scrambling to sign her. They probably look down on our web drama!”
“Exactly. That’s why the director is trying to use the relationship card. After all, isn’t she the real sister? Maybe it will work.”
“…”
Chu Mei on the other side observed this scene thoughtfully.
“Yuyi, come sit next to Uncle!” One of the men in a suit sitting on the sofa beside the director called out with a warm smile.
A hint of disgust crossed Luo Yuyi’s eyes, but she maintained a cheerful smile. “Uncle, what brings you here today?”
“Hi~ It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so of course I wanted to check in. How are you getting along with the crew?” The man patted his round belly and asked with a grin.
“It’s going well. Thanks to Uncle’s help, I was able to join the crew. I’m really happy about it.”
“Haha, that’s nothing. After this project, Uncle plans to give you the female lead role in a big production. I promised your father to take good care of you. I will definitely keep my word,” he said generously.
Luo Yuyi’s eyes flashed with surprise. “Female lead in a big production?”
“Yes!” the man smiled. “But…”
Luo Yuyi sensed this wouldn’t be simple. Her eyes flickered. “But what? Just speak your mind, Uncle.”
“Well, you know we’ve been struggling to find a female lead for this project. We’ve found a suitable actress, but it’s difficult to get her join in. We may need your help, Yuyi.” The other party said embarrassedly.
A hint of jealousy flashed in Luo Yuyi’s eyes.
She had already guessed who he was referring to.
But at this moment, she had to keep up appearances and said with a forced smile, “It’s my honor to help Uncle.”
“Good, I mentioned this last time too. It’s your sister. They said they were considering it but haven’t responded. If this drags on, when can we start filming? It’s troublesome to keep everyone waiting. Why not you say a few good words to your sister? We can discuss compensation. As long as we can get her on board, it’ll be fine,” he said with a smile.
Luo Yuyi’s expression twisted for a moment.
“Uncle is being too polite. If my sister knew this production was yours, she would definitely agree!” The last words were almost gritted out.
“That’s good, that’s good. But I still need you to put in a good word. I promise Uncle won’t treat you unfairly.” He smiled kindly.
Luo Yuyi mentally cursed him as a schemer, but she responded obediently on the surface.
As soon as she stepped out, she collided with someone.
“Hi, junior Luo Yuyi.” the person grinned.
…
On Luo Xi’s side, she received the invitation as well. She had intended to accept it, feeling it was time after a few days of consideration, so she asked Mi Ke to respond.
The online buzz was gradually dissipating and was soon overshadowed by gossip about an entertainment tycoon being photographed with a supermodel. Everyone’s attention shifted, and Luo Xi’s scandal didn’t escalate.
Those who were closely following the situation felt a bit annoyed, thinking that they hadn’t received answers before it all vanished. They followed various official entertainment accounts to wait for updates, but found that these official accounts all seemed to have agreed not to report on Luo Xi anymore!
