CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: SHE TRULY LOVES IT

EDITOR: ATLAS STUDIOS

Jun couldn’t help but continue speaking worriedly to the closed door, "Shi Su, are you okay? Please open the door and let me in, I promise I’ll get you other roles soon, and they won’t be those meaningless plots. It’s unfortunate that we lost this one, but there’s a long road ahead..."

There was still no response from inside.

Jun shook her head and sighed outside the door, "I initially thought of settling for another role in this drama if it’s possible. Even if you can’t play the second female lead, we can take another part. But they said someone over there made a statement, saying you don’t fit this drama, asking you to leave the group directly."

"At first, I thought they just wanted to bring in someone else, but then I realized from their words, isn’t someone deliberately targeting you?"

"I know you so well, and I’ve watched you step by step since you returned to China in the past two years. You always handle things with discretion, so how could you possibly offend people from Four Seas Entertainment? You’ve never even had any contact with them before..."

"Can you open the door, Shi Su?"

There was still no response from inside the room.

Jun frowned, and her hand, which was about to knock again, slowly lowered.

Shi Su was never this capricious in dealing with people. Not opening the door like this must mean she’s been deeply affected, maybe she needs some time to calm down.

Hopefully, she just needs to calm down and won’t think of doing anything rash.

-

Shi Su returned from outside, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked Shi Mianmian to wash her hands, then began organizing the food she had bought.

She then used the supplements she bought to make a soup and called Jing Jihan to come out for dinner.

She didn’t mention that she had added some herbal ingredients to the soup to improve vitality, but from the obvious presence of goji berries and pig’s feet, it was clear she had put thought into helping him strengthen his body.

Shi Su, just like during the day, ate a few bites of food and then lowered her head again to look at the script beside her, seemingly pondering a particular scene.

What Jun mentioned, she indeed hadn’t been informed yet.

Jing Jihan glanced at her with his dark eyes and asked, "Do you really like acting?"

Shi Su moved her gaze away from the script, reached over to serve him another bowl of soup, and replied, "It’s alright. I wasn’t planning to enter this circle initially, but while abroad, a film director noticed me by chance. I acted in a few scenes, and later Jun, who was on a business trip abroad, spotted me. I don’t know what she saw in me, but she wanted to sign me as an artist. At that time, I was planning to return to China and didn’t have much capital, so considering the relatively generous signing fee, I agreed."

She spoke while raising her eyes to look at him, "In the past two years since returning to China, I’ve been following her, occasionally taking on small roles, but I don’t have any notable works yet. Compared to those real stars with works and traffic, I’m definitely different."

"If you had the chance to choose, would you want the first female lead or stick to the second female lead?"

Unexpectedly, he suddenly asked this question. Shi Su, busy with dinner and preoccupied with the script’s scenes, was momentarily stunned as her mind seemed to slow down before she instinctively replied, "I’d still choose the second female lead. The first female lead’s role only requires being cute the whole time, but the second lead’s character is rich and challenging, which I like."

When Shi Su talked about the character in the drama, her eyes appeared to sparkle with excitement.

Jing Jihan’s eyes were indifferent and calm, seemingly able to easily peer into people’s hearts.

It was clear that she genuinely liked this role.

At night, Jing Jihan didn’t call Jing Luozhou again but dialed another person’s number instead.

The phone rang three times before the person on the other end picked up, sounding somewhat cautious at first, since only one person knew this number, and only one person could call him anytime within twenty-four hours.

A few seconds later, a voice came from the other side, "Mr. Jing?"
