Chapter 117 The Obedient and Soft Miss Jin VS The Abstinent and Buddhist Young Master (4)
"Director Mai, I wonder if my performance just now satisfied you?"
Lin Siyue smiled brightly, staring intently at Director Mai.
Director Mai looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw Lin Siyue's charming smiling face.
In an instant, Director Mai's expression turned into one of pure rapture.
The person sitting next to Director Mai looked over and stared at Lin Siyue with a fascination.
[Host, something terrible has happened! The original world's female protagonist, Lin Siyue, has started using her charm skill!]
Sang Yu narrowed her eyes.
Can I stop her directly?
[Host, let me give it a try!]
A moment later, System Qiqi suddenly shouted.
[Sorry, host, Qiqi can't do it! This is a scenario forced by the plot, and we simply cannot interrupt Lin Siyue's "Charming Girl" skill! Once she successfully uses this skill, everyone present will be forcibly attracted to her, and we can't defeat her!]
Tsk!
This is the first time I've encountered such a frustrating world.
Sang Yu looked coldly at Lin Siyue, who was exuding charm: "Would slapping her directly have worked?"
The system's eyes widened. Sure enough, the host couldn't change his violent tendencies no matter what.
but……
[No, host. Even if you turn her into a pig's head, as long as she continues to use her charm on others, she will still be incredibly attractive and beautiful in their eyes. Their perception of her will remain unaffected.]
Besides, if you actually beat her up in public, you'd definitely get arrested and thrown in jail...
Sang Yu had no choice but to lower her raised hand.
She suddenly let out a cold laugh.
It seems this world is not simple. Could it be that it thinks she had a smooth life in the previous worlds and is deliberately making things difficult for her?
The main plot of the book shouldn't be that easy to change.
She watched as Director Mai beckoned Lin Siyue over and suddenly handpicked her as the female lead.
After discussing it with the people around her, she was cast as the second female lead in "Poplar".
Director Mai led them out with satisfaction, preparing to discuss other details with them further.
However, just as the group stepped out of the audition area, the director's assistant quickly approached, bowed, and spoke a few words to the director.
"What? He actually came?"
The assistant said, "Yes, they said they were nearby and were planning to come over to talk to you about the role and investment."
Director Mai's eyes lit up immediately: "Really? That's wonderful! It'll be perfect to have him come and see the leading lady I've chosen..."
Director Mai looked down at Sang Yu and said, "Little Sang, come with me to meet someone."
Then, he whispered a few more words to Sang Yu, "Xiao Sang, if you can persuade this person to act in our drama, I'll cast you as the second female lead right now."
Sang Yu nodded slightly.
[Host, guess who you're going to see now?]
Sang Yu tentatively asked, "It wouldn't be Huo Qingchuan, would it?"
[Host, you're incredibly clever. It really is Huo Qingchuan.]
The assistant director looked troubled.
"Director Mai, judging from his demeanor, he might not agree to take the role. After all, he's not short of money, and he's usually so low-key. Although the role doesn't have many scenes, but..."
Director Mai's face darkened: "No way! Didn't you hear what screenwriter Liu said? This character was written because he had the inspiration. If he doesn't play the role, no one else can!"
“Sang Yu, come with me. I refuse to believe that with so many of us, we can’t persuade him.”
Lin Siyue wanted to go with them, but Director Mai stopped her.
"This is none of your business. You should go back now."
Lu Manman gave an awkward laugh, turned and glanced at Sang Yu resentfully, before angrily leaving with her assistant.
Sang Yu followed Director Mai to a nearby teahouse.
The waiter led them to a private room and closed the door.
"Mr. Huo! What brings you here today!"
Huo Qingchuan, who was sitting by the window idly watching, turned around when he heard this.
He looked indifferently at the two people who entered the private room.
His slender fingers slowly descended, placing the teacup in his hand on the table.
Before entering the private room, Director Mai repeatedly reminded Sang Yu that the person in the room was their sugar daddy, who had just invested 100 million yuan in their drama.
Be extremely careful, absolutely extremely careful!
Sang Yu was momentarily stunned as she looked at Huo Qingchuan in front of her.
No one knew that she had just seen Huo Qingchuan that morning.
Perhaps it's because she grew up in a temple.
Huo Qingchuan has a special kind of temperament.
Abstinence and detachment are like an icy spring on the Tianshan Mountains—cold, indifferent, yet irresistibly alluring. Even knowing there's no outcome, one still wants to take a chance, even if it's just to catch a glimpse of him.
His eyes were lowered, and his long eyelashes fluttered slightly. "Director Mai."
Director Mai walked in, his face beaming.
"Mr. Huo, it's getting harder and harder to see you these days!"
He walked over in a few steps and plopped down opposite Huo Qingchuan.
Then he waved to Sang Yu.
"Sang Yu, come and sit down, don't be so formal."
Sang Yu nodded and sat down to the side of the two of them.
When Sang Yu sat down, she carefully examined Huo Qingchuan.
Huo Qingchuan in this state truly possesses the qualities of a Buddhist monk.
She was genuinely curious about what a man like that would be like once he became tainted by lust.
She still remembers what he said.
Not interested in women, haha...
"Mr. Huo, this is Sang Yu, the second female lead I just auditioned for. Her acting is exceptional! She will definitely not hold you back when we act together in the future."
"Sang Yu, you probably don't know Mr. Huo, but he's the major investor in our drama. The role of the second male lead was tailor-made for him by our screenwriter. Mr. Huo is quite a legendary figure..."
Director Mai quickly gave a brief introduction to both parties.
"No one but you could portray the feeling of President Huo. I know you're busy, but this role has very little screen time, so you just experienced it firsthand..."
He rambled on and on for a while, and the other main character in the conversation...
I've never actually seen him.
Huo Qingchuan glanced at the girl beside him out of the corner of his eye.
The girl used her fair fingers to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and poured a cup of warm tea with one hand while holding the teapot.
She picked up her teacup and took a small sip.
Some tea residue remained on my lips.
It made the girl's lips appear even more moist.
Just looking at it makes me feel like I'd love to kiss it.
In that instant, the man felt a dryness in his throat.
He quickly picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp, only then did he feel the restlessness in his body lessen.
"Well..." Director Mai was still talking non-stop.
"I agreed."
Director Mai swallowed back the words he was about to say.
He stared blankly at Huo Qingchuan.
What did they agree to?
Wait a minute! Huo Qingchuan actually agreed!!
He actually managed to convince him?!
Has his eloquence reached an unparalleled level?!
