BXBX NOVEL Chapter 343 - 344: Another Purpose
Xia Yangyang was just leaving the Time Building at that time.
Xia Weiwei was waiting at the entrance of the Time Building, entangled with a group of security guards.
The security wouldn’t let her in, but Xia Weiwei was determined to get inside.
Seeing Xia Yangyang, Xia Weiwei was even more frustrated and charged right at her.
She tossed the script, accusing her.
Xia Yangyang picked up the script: “Xia Weiwei, what on earth is going on?”
“You’re asking me what’s going on? Xia Yangyang, are you deliberately messing with me? It’s okay if you don’t arrange a role for me, but now you say you will, and what kind of role is this?”
Xia Yangyang also flipped through the folder. Indeed, there was a script, but it was just one sheet of paper.
Xia Weiwei’s role was that of a receptionist, and her only line was, “Welcome”.
Gu Qichen really went too far.
He said he would give Xia Weiwei a line, and he really just gave her one line.
They went to all this trouble of sending her a script for such a minor role.
For Xia Weiwei, this was simply an insult.
But Xia Yangyang was indifferent: “Didn’t you say you’d be willing to play even a passerby? Or were you just talking?”
Xia Weiwei was furious: “So you took advantage of the situation to make things difficult for me, to humiliate me, Xia Yangyang, you’re too despicable.”
Xia Yangyang’s voice was still flat: “You asked Gu Qichen for a role, and now that he’s given you one, you’re not satisfied. Why are you coming to me instead of questioning him? From beginning to end, I never promised you anything. It’s nothing to do with me that you didn’t get a good role.”
At this, Xia Weiwei was even more infuriated.
Gu Qichen had clearly agreed.
She presumed he really wanted to help her at the time.
It must have been Xia Yangyang who interfered, leading to this trashy role.
Getting such a role was worse than getting none at all.
But Xia Weiwei knew she had to bear with it.
Liu Ruyan would scold her again for being impatient if she knew about her confronting Xia Yangyang over this matter.
She had her own motives for wanting to act in this play.
But Xia Weiwei just couldn’t swallow this bitter pill.
Xia Weiwei gritted her teeth: “Rest assured, Xia Yangyang, even if it’s just one line, I’ll perform it, and you just wait. It’s okay if you try to block me, but one day, you will pay the price.”
With that, Xia Weiwei left in a huff.
Xia Yangyang felt everything was bizarre.
They were going to start filming tomorrow.
There was a gathering tonight. Xia Yangyang, Shen Manbing, and several others from the main cast were supposed to meet the director and producer for dinner.
The producer of this film was Cui Chenghao, the CEO of Universal.
This film was tailored entirely for Shen Manbing.
Shen Manbing was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar for her last film.
But she didn’t win in the end.
This film was said to be built on an international scale, with Hollywood’s top teams and domestic big shots at the helm, just to tailor-make an Oscar run for Manbing.
Of course, Cui Chenghao spared no expense because he’s been pursuing Shen Manbing all along.
Xia Yangyang joined Shen Shichuan for the dinner.
Shen Manbing reportedly went to play golf with Cui Chenghao in the afternoon.
Shen Shichuan didn’t look too pleased.
Others may not know why, but Xia Yangyang knew why Shen Shichuan was upset.
However, the atmosphere in the car was really down.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t help speaking up: “It’s just a game of golf between friends, there’s nothing to it. Besides, if Sister Bingbing liked Cui Chenghao, she would have accepted him long ago.. Why would he go five years without any progress in his pursuit?”
