CHAPTER 638: CHAPTER 612: SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY

Su Xiaomei hesitated in the bathroom for a long time before coming out.

Ye Chen noticed that Su Xiaomei’s face seemed even redder, feeling a bit awkward himself.

After all, he accidentally touched something he shouldn’t have.

The atmosphere in the room was already very ambiguous, and now it became even more so.

Ye Chen, having finished the water in his glass, smiled and said, "Well, it’s getting late. You should rest early. I’m heading out."

But just then, Su Xiaomei, perhaps a bit absent-minded, slipped on the wet floor in the bathroom and fell down with a splash.

Seeing this, Ye Chen quickly rushed over and caught Su Xiaomei before she fell.

With Ye Chen holding her, Su Xiaomei looked at his breathtakingly handsome face and couldn’t help but tightly hug him.

The next morning, as Ye Chen was leaving Su Xiaomei’s house, his phone rang.

It was a call from Yang Mimi: "Ye Chen, it’s Mimi. By the way, about the filming we talked about last time, do you have any time?"

Ye Chen then remembered the previous conversation about filming ’Palace Locking Heart Jade’.

"I’m quite busy lately. I’m afraid I don’t have time," Ye Chen said with some difficulty.

"Oh, come on, Ye Chen, do me a favor. The director has already said this role is yours and no one else’s."

This time, the director had given Yang Mimi strict orders to convince Ye Chen to play this role, leaving Yang Mimi with no choice.

Moreover, Ye Chen was indeed too handsome, and Yang Mimi was very eager to collaborate with him.

Although Yang Mimi and Ye Chen hadn’t interacted much, she had a very good impression of this handsome man.

Given this rare opportunity to work together, how could Yang Mimi let it pass?

Yang Mimi continued to ask, "By the way, have you read the script? What do you think of it?"

Ye Chen chuckled to himself, thinking, I wrote the script, didn’t I!

"Yes, I’ve read it. It’s fantastic." Ye Chen praised himself without a hint of embarrassment.

"Brother Chen, please film a drama with me. My biggest dream is to shoot a film with a handsome guy like you," Yang Mimi started to act coy.

Ye Chen had no choice. Honestly, he didn’t want to participate in shooting such series.

Even though he could adjust his charm value, so even if the film released, lowering it would make nobody recognize him as the TV star, it was too time-consuming.

However, Ye Chen had a good relationship with Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya. Tong Xiaoya also called yesterday, so refusing was not appropriate.

Yang Mimi continued, "Brother Ye Chen, I’m already calling you brother, and I think you are perfect for the Eighth Prince role. There’s no one whose aura can match yours. The filming is really simple; you only need to dedicate two hours a day."

Ye Chen sighed. Given how Mimi had put it, there was no way for him to refuse.

The script was written by Ye Chen, featuring many scenes with him and Yang Mimi, including quite a few kissing scenes. Could it be that this girl has a crush on him and wants to take advantage of the opportunity?

If Yang Mimi’s fans knew Ye Chen’s thoughts, they’d probably want to kill him.

Fans get over-excited just from meeting Yang Mimi. Yet, Ye Chen, the one who could do kissing scenes with her, was looking melancholic.

Yang Mimi was also nervous, waiting for Ye Chen’s response.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a system task. Act in a TV series with 3 billion hits. Completing the task will grant you a chance to draw a prize. Task failure will result in a week of diarrhea." (This task cannot be refused.)

Ye Chen: "..."

Damn it, the system actually issued a mission today.

Getting 3 billion clicks? This year’s most popular series barely hit 1 billion.

Ye Chen sighed, "Alright, I agree."

"Yay, thank you, Brother Ye Chen. I’ll go inform the director now."

Ye Chen was speechless. This girl was all sweet and adorable just a moment ago, and now she’s excessively excited. She’s truly an actress.

In the previous life, ’Palace’ had already achieved a good rating.

Ye Chen believed that with his divine-level acting, starring in it would surely attract higher ratings.

Moreover, this drama’s script was penned by him, it was produced by his company. And most importantly, there was a task to fulfill, so he had to act whether he wanted to or not.

However, what puzzled Ye Chen was that the system always provided rewards only for five-star reviews, and now suddenly there was a system task.

Yang Mimi was also very happy.

After all, she knew a bit about Ye Chen’s background.

He didn’t care about money; for him, acting was merely for entertainment.

Although people in the entertainment industry seemed glamorous in front of the audience, in front of these rich big-shots, they really were nothing.

If she didn’t know Ye Chen, he probably wouldn’t have taken the role.

Having completed the director’s task, Yang Mimi was relieved.

Actually, Ye Chen agreed mainly because of the system task; otherwise, he had more important things to do and wouldn’t have time to shoot a series.

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, thinking that Yang Mimi’s outgoing and lively personality would make filming with her quite interesting.

Yang Mimi found Director Jia Rui.

"Director, Director, I have good news for you."

Jia Rui looked at Yang Mimi with a faint smile, "What makes you so happy?"

Director Jia was quite fond of Yang Mimi.

Even though Yang Mimi was quite popular, she took her acting seriously and didn’t have any celebrity bad habits.

The most important thing was her very cheerful personality.

However, because of this, there were a lot of online rumors against Yang Mimi.

Jia Rui curiously asked, "What is it that’s making you so happy?"

Yang Mimi said with a smile, "Ye Chen agreed to act. You know, the actor you spotted the other day."

"Really?" Hearing Yang Mimi’s words, Director Jia was delighted.

"Why would I lie to you? I just contacted him, and he’s willing to portray the Eighth Prince’s role."

Jia Rui kept nodding upon hearing it, "That’s great! With him in it, our series will undoubtedly be a hit."

After all, Jia Rui also later learned about Ye Chen’s capabilities.

Getting such a big-shot to act was incredibly difficult.

Yang Mimi said happily, "Of course, my influence is significant, and the director you should reward me handsomely."

"You cheeky girl, fine, today you get half a day off."

"Thank you, Director."

Jia Rui looked at Yang Mimi very fondly.

She knew Ye Chen wasn’t short of money, so did he agree because he fancies Yang Mimi?

With such a delightful personality and good looks, marrying into a wealthy family with a handsome guy like Ye Chen wouldn’t be bad at all.

"Mimi, go for it, seize this opportunity."

Yang Mimi nodded, "Okay, I will strive to do a good job with this role."

Jia Rui shook her head, "I didn’t mean just playing the role well. I meant you don’t have a boyfriend yet, right?"

Hearing Jia Rui’s words, Yang Mimi blushed adorably.
