BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2201 - 2201 Twins
“I said, Mr. Lin Heng asked us to come.” The manager had an expression that said, ‘If it weren’t for Lin Heng, who would want to come to such a godforsaken place?’
The manager couldn’t stand Qiao Weiyang’s behavior of clinging to Lin Heng even though they had already broken up. He didn’t know what kind of drugs she used to make Lin Heng ask Wang Meng to save the situation at this critical moment.
“Lin Heng, huh?” Cheng Yijia’s expression faded.
Although she had never heard Qiao Weiyang complain about Lin Heng, Cheng Yijia had heard a lot about what had happened between them.
She had seen how much Qiao Weiyang had sacrificed for Lin Heng.
Who was Lin Heng doing this for?
This manager really took her seriously!
“Yes, it’s Mr. Lin Heng. I’ve brought Wang Meng here for you. Director Cheng, take good care of our Wang Meng.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t afford to hire your artiste. You can leave now.”
The manager’s smile froze on his face. Although Wang Meng was not an A-list celebrity, his reputation had always been very good, and he had never lacked movies.
This time, he had promised Lin Heng that he would postpone many money-making jobs to join this lousy production team. In the end, what nonsense was Cheng Yijia talking about now?
“Director Cheng, did I hear wrongly?” The manager dug his ears.
Wang Meng did not look too good after being looked down on.
“You didn’t hear wrongly. I run a small production team and can’t afford to hire a big shot like Wang Meng. So, I’m sorry. Assistant, send the guests off!” Cheng Yijia stood up without hesitation.
The manager didn’t expect her to have such an attitude and mocked her on the spot. “Director Cheng, we call you ‘Director Cheng’ not because we think of you as the famous Director Cheng. That Director Cheng has already become a thing of the past, while your career hasn’t even taken off.”
Cheng Yijia said indifferently, “Even if I can’t become someone like my father, I don’t need to take your suggestions. I won’t send you off!”
She turned around and left. Wang Meng and his manager did not look too good.
After Wang Meng went out, he called Lin Heng. “Brother Lin, I really can’t help you with this.”
“Wang Meng, don’t worry. I’ll definitely give you the remuneration you deserve.”
“Cheng Yijia didn’t agree at all.”
Lin Heng hesitated for a moment. “Can she find someone else?”
“I’m not sure about that.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Lin Heng thought for a while and called Qiao Weiyang’s number.
Qiao Weiyang was walking when Tao Huan came over with her phone. “Sister Weiyang, there’s a call for you.”
Qiao Weiyang took a look and answered the call. Lin Heng was on the other end of the line. He said gently, “Weiyang, are you filming Director Cheng’s movie?”
“Hasn’t it been announced on Weibo?”
“I know you’re still short of a suitable male lead. I’ve recommended someone.”
“President Lin, we can’t afford to hire the person you recommended. You don’t have to worry about this.”
“Weiyang.” Lin Heng’s voice was a little worried as if Qiao Weiyang was still an important person to him. “I know that your project this time is full of difficulties, and Tian Guang is still causing trouble for you. It won’t be easy to find a suitable male lead. Weiyang, my friend is Wang Meng. I’m sure you know that he has good acting skills…”
When Qiao Weiyang picked up the call, her attention was focused on the script beside her. Hearing him talk non-stop, she said calmly, “That’s alright. We don’t need Wang Meng.”
“Weiyang!”
“President Lin, since you have the time, why don’t you manage your personal affairs better? I don’t need your concern at all.”
She then hung up, feeling a little speechless at his antics.
Cheng Yijia happened to walk in and went to her side. She said, “Weiyang, Lin Heng arranged for Wang Meng to join our production team, but I rejected him. Do you have any objections?”
Qiao Weiyang waved her cell phone. “I refused too.”
The two of them could not help but look at each other and smile.
Qiao Weiyang handed the phone to Tao Huan. “Huan Huan, pour me a glass of water.”
“Okay, I’ll go right away.” Tao Huan put away the cell phone and skipped to the pantry.
After laughing, Cheng Yijia looked a little worried again. “My assistant has already found a casting company. Let’s just wait. There’ll definitely be a suitable candidate.”
She suddenly looked at Qiao Weiyang steadily.
“Mhm, what’s wrong?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
“Weiyang, I remember my father saying that you can disguise yourself as a man too. Why don’t you try playing two roles?”
Cheng Chaopin had made the same suggestion to Qiao Weiyang before.
However, it did not pan out in the end.
“Sure, I’ll give it a try.”
Cheng Yijia immediately asked her assistant to call over a makeup artist to transform Qiao Weiyang’s looks.
Qiao Weiyang’s facial features were very beautiful, and her face was very small. At first glance, there was nothing masculine about her at all.
However, her eyes were firm, and her facial structure was good. With the skills of the makeup artist, a young and elegant man quickly appeared in front of everyone.
The makeup artist and stylist had only wanted to give it a try. When they saw the results in front of them, they couldn’t help but be a little excited. “You look a lot like a man! No, Weiyang, I didn’t mean to say that you look like a man. No, I mean…”
“I know.” Qiao Weiyang curled her lips into a smile that was only seen on men.
“Wow, this is really great!” Cheng Yijia exclaimed. “If I hadn’t seen you get your makeup done with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
“Then why don’t we try filming a scene now?” Qiao Weiyang said.
“Okay, let’s try it. You can read the script first.”
Qiao Weiyang picked up the script and glanced at it. “I’m ready. When I was reading the script previously, I memorized all the lines of the male lead too.”
“That’s why I think you’re destined to act in two roles.”
Qiao Weiyang and Cheng Yijia walked toward the set. Tao Huan walked over with the freshly brewed tea. When she passed by Cheng Yijia and Qiao Weiyang, she nodded and greeted, “Director Cheng.”
The handsome man beside Director Cheng suddenly made Tao Huan blush.
Realizing that she did not know the man beside Cheng Yijia, Tao Huan did not greet him.
However, she realized that the other party was really energetic and elegant. She couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “Director Cheng chose a suitable male lead so quickly.”
She ran to the lounge to look for Qiao Weiyang, but she couldn’t find her. She went to the dressing room again, and the makeup artist told her, “Weiyang and Director Cheng went to the set.”
Tao Huan came out again. She saw Cheng Yijia and the male lead filming, but she didn’t see Qiao Weiyang.
