BXBX NOVEL Chapter 340 - 341: Demanding a Role
Just as they entered the restaurant, Liu Ruyan came to greet them.
“Yangyang, Ah Chen, you’re back? Come in, quick, the food is ready.”
Xia Yangyang was also in the kitchen.
Unusually, her mood seemed good, not like before when she was at her wit’s end.
On seeing Gu Qichen, she stood up: “You’re back.”
The table was full with people ready for dinner.
Xia Yangyang felt something strange about everyone.
Xia Weiwei was even consciously peeling shrimps for Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang would find it normal if Xia Weiwei was trying to please Gu Qichen in this way.
But instead, Xia Weiwei had shifted her focus to herself.
Xia Yangyang felt incredibly awkward.
Halfway through the meal,
Xia Liangdong handed over a bank card and said, “Yangyang, take this money back.”
Xia Yangyang felt bemused: “Dad, I don’t need money now, keep it for an emergency.”
Xia Liangdong responded, “Starlight’s crisis has been resolved, Japan’s He Yin is willing to extend a loan, finally the crisis is over.”
On hearing Xia Liangdong utter these words, Xia Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder Xia Liangdong looked so happy today.
Xia Yangyang didn’t refuse, she took back the bank card.
After dinner, Xia Liangdong and Gu Qichen sat in the living room chatting over a cup of tea.
Xia Yangyang returned to her room.
A moment later, Xia Weiwei came over.
She brought a plate of fruits, all of them neatly cut.
Xia Weiwei used to barge into the room without knocking,
Today, she actually stood at the door, symbolically knocking a few times.
“Sis, may I come in?”
Xia Yangyang felt suspicious but was not in a hurry.
After all, the fox would reveal its tail.
“Come on in.”
Xia Weiwei came in and placed the fruit plate in front of Xia Yangyang, “Sis, I cut these fruits for you to enjoy.”
Xia Yangyang tasted one and casually said, “Thank you.”
But after setting down the fruit plate, Xia Weiwei didn’t leave.
She fumbled for words, seemingly having something to say.
Xia Yangyang started the conversation, “If you have something to say, say it now. Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance later.”
Only then did Xia Weiwei say, “Sis, I hope you could speak to Director Zhang Jizhong. Can I play a minor role in his new film ‘Star Track’? I heard that many minor roles have not been cast yet.”
So, here was what she’d been waiting for.
In fact, Xia Yangyang had guessed it earlier on.
Xia Yangyang replied, “This is beyond my control. I haven’t even met Director Zhang yet. Besides, he’s known for his strictness and despises any underhand rules in the entertainment industry. Even minor roles demand high standards. I’m afraid I cannot help with this.”
“Sis, I know this is a lot to ask, but I have no other options. Even a role as a passer-by, I would accept it. I want to become as excellent as you, shine in the entertainment world like you, and most importantly, take responsibility for Starlight if it encounters difficulties in the future. Sis, can you help me, please?”
Xia Yangyang officially refused, “I really can’t help you, it’s beyond my capacity.”
Xia Weiwei hesitated for a while before she spoke, “I know you are not familiar with Director Zhang, or even know him, but… I heard that Director Zhang knows the Gu Family well. He’s been acquainted with the Gu Family’s old master for ages. I believe my brother-in-law is familiar with him. If brother-in-law could say a word for me…”
“Xia Weiwei, it is absolutely impossible, stop dreaming,” Xia Yangyang raised her voice suddenly..
