The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife
Chapter 86: Someone’s Behind The Scene
CHAPTER 86: SOMEONE’S BEHIND THE SCENE
Han Bi’s face darkened again, a mocking look flashing in her eyes.
Wen Nuan to act?
She sneered inwardly. What did Wen Nuan have to rely on?
Wen Nuan was also taken aback and hurriedly waved her hands. "This joke is too big. I can’t do it. I have no fame at all. Director Lin would definitely scold me to death. If I were to act, no one would watch, and it would definitely be a loss."
"Wen Nuan, you’re too modest. I also think you’d be good in the role," Cheng Anya said with a smile.
Han Bi’s expression became even worse. Seeing her gaze becoming increasingly unfriendly, Wen Nuan smiled again and said, "Since Miss Han wants this role so much, then give it to her. I think she’ll definitely do a great job."
Wen Nuan’s words didn’t have any particular meaning, but they sounded very harsh to Han Bi’s ears.
Did she really think she was one of Anning International’s people?
When had she, Han Bi, ever needed Wen Nuan to bestow a role upon her? Who did she think she was?
"What do you mean? Is this charity? I don’t need it," Han Bi had been in the entertainment industry for ten years and had seen a lot. She was no longer the impulsive and hot-blooded person she used to be, but hearing Wen Nuan say this still made her uncomfortable. In a moment of impulsiveness, her tone wasn’t very good.
Wen Nuan was stunned and said innocently, "Miss Han, have you misunderstood something? I was speaking sincerely. I think your movies are all very good. What charity? What qualifications do I have to give you charity?"
Han Bi glared at Wen Nuan. Cheng Anya smiled coldly. "Miss Han, since you don’t need this role, why did you bring it up with me? Wen Nuan offered it to you. I was originally weighing the pros and cons and planning to talk to Feimo about using you. Since you don’t want it, then forget it."
Linda was extremely anxious on the side. It wasn’t that Han Bi didn’t want the role, but she felt that Wen Nuan was a threat to her. Wen Nuan’s words made Han Bi, with her pride, naturally feel that she was being sarcastic.
"Madam Ye, Han Bi didn’t mean that, please don’t misunderstand," Linda hurriedly smoothed things over. "She desperately wants this role. Thank you, Madam Ye, for your consideration. Then please, Madam Ye, say a few good words for Han Bi."
Cheng Anya said coldly, "I’ve said it before, since Han Bi doesn’t want it, then forget it. I won’t force her. Feimo makes all the decisions about Anning’s affairs."
She changed her mind, glanced at Wen Nuan, and smiled. "After so many years, what happened back then should indeed be forgotten. Han Bi, let’s do this. I won’t stop you from acting in Anning International’s dramas, but if you want Feimo to agree, you’ll have to show your skills. If Feimo agrees to let you act, I guarantee, no second words. You can rest assured, I won’t stop you."
Cheng Anya had her own plans.
Han Bi and Linda were delighted to hear this. A look of surprise appeared in Han Bi’s eyes. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, every word is true. I’m not like some people whose words are like farts," Cheng Anya said coldly. If Han Bi wanted to act in Anning International’s dramas, she wouldn’t refuse, as long as Feimo agreed.
Han Bi was overjoyed. The anger she had endured all evening had finally dissipated. As long as the goal was achieved, suffering a little anger didn’t matter. Anyway, compared to Cheng Anya’s usual level of making things difficult, this was light.
As long as she didn’t interfere, she was confident that Feimo would definitely agree to her starring in "Lady Liang Hongyu."
The drama "Love Affair" had good investment, a good director, and a good crew, all from Huayun Entertainment, enough to compete with Anning International. But the "Lady Liang Hongyu" crew had Ye Yan, which "Love Affair" couldn’t compare to.
Wen Nuan looked at Han Bi’s joy and thought to herself, didn’t Han Bi realize that Second Young Master Ye was even harder to talk to than Madam Ye?
"Alright, you guys leave. Don’t disturb our family reunion," Cheng Anya coldly issued the order to leave.
Han Bi was displeased but forced a smile, stood up gracefully, gave Wen Nuan a deep look, and left with Linda. Cheng Anya beckoned Cai Xiaojing to come and sit down.
Wen Nuan finished all four portions of dessert by herself.
Cai Xiaojing gritted her teeth. "Don’t eat so many high-calorie things so late at night."
Wen Nuan looked at her with unusual grievance. "The calories I’ve burned these past few days are dozens of times what’s on this table, Xiaojing-jie. Please don’t mistreat me, okay? I’m 167 centimeters tall and only weigh 88 jin now. A gust of wind will blow me away."
She originally weighed 98 jin, having lost a full 10 jin. This was truly not a life for a human.
"Little girl, so pitiful. Xiaojing, just let her eat. You haven’t had dinner either, have you?" Cheng Anya asked for a few more desserts to be brought. There was no other choice; the cafe only had these things.
Cai Xiaojing said, "Director Li from the jewelry department said Wen Nuan’s face is a bit chubby, and the advertisement won’t have enough presence if it’s filmed like that. He wants her to lose weight, but who knew she’d lose weight everywhere except her face?"
Cai Xiaojing spoke with great frustration.
"Li Mingfei is notoriously picky. I’ll have Xiaotian put in a good word for you later," Cheng Anya looked intently at Wen Nuan’s face. Her face was a very standard oval shape, small with very soft lines. It was just that the lower part of the oval was slightly fleshy, so it felt a bit chubby, but this kind of face looked the most comfortable, round and smooth, with white skin and a pair of big, beautiful peach blossom eyes. No matter how you looked at it, she was a beauty.
This bit of baby fat actually added a touch of cuteness.
It must feel very comfortable to touch.
"Actually, Wen Nuan looks so beautiful, a little baby fat is cute. Don’t lose it. Look, her body is all skin and bones. It would be so bony to hold at night," Cheng Anya directly thought of Ye Feimo’s benefits.
Wen Nuan’s eyes widened as she looked at her. What did this mean?
Why did these words sound a bit erotic?
Was she going to hold her to sleep at night?
Holding was fine, but why emphasize holding at night?
Xu Nuo kicked Cheng Anya under the table. Cheng Anya nonchalantly pushed the dessert in front of Wen Nuan, who grabbed it and ate.
"Xiaojing, is Anning really preparing to film ’Lady Liang Hongyu’?" Cheng Anya asked.
Cai Xiaojing nodded. "Yes, President Ye told me a long time ago."
"Told you?" Cheng Anya raised an eyebrow.
Cai Xiaojing’s gaze drifted towards the ravenously eating Wen Nuan on the side. Cheng Anya raised an eyebrow in surprise. Feimo wanted to promote Wen Nuan? The cost of this was really high, but wasn’t it a bit risky?
"Does she know?"
Cai Xiaojing shook her head helplessly. Wen Nuan knew nothing. She had always thought that getting the role in the "Pure Lotus" crew was due to her own efforts, and that getting so many endorsements was also due to her own hard work.
In fact, someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
