Chapter 100 - Marriage ("Don't be afraid, WanWan. I am here for you.") (1)

The venue for the audition for the second female lead of "Plainness" was located in Zhong Ding Building. Xu WanZhi got there earlier and hoped to leave a good impression with Jiang ChengXi.

The auditions for the female lead and second female lead were not scheduled on the same day. As such, she did not run into Chen Jin.

Even though it was just the audition for a supporting character, there were still many of 1st tier actresses there. This was, after all, a movie by Jiang ChenXi. Many established actresses were willing to just be in it and say a few lines. It just might become the opportunity that they've been waiting for to become the superstar on the big screen.

Xu WanZhi, being in the middle of these other actresses, was like a new blood with her first real work just being released. She did not fit in very well among the other actresses.

Xiao Yuan went to draw her order in line. Xu WanZhi picked a spot on the corner and sat down. She had planned to look over the script one more time.

Suddenly, she saw a shadow over her and, when she looked up, she saw Shen Yi.

Shen Yi was in a full suit and has a cup of coffee in his hand, obviously there to take care of something. He lowered his head, smiled at Xu WanZhi, and said to her, "WanZhi, long time no see."

Shen Yi's secret relationship with the original owner had always been something that was on Xu WanZhi's mind. She did not want to have anything to do with this man so she said to him, coldly, "Hi, Shen Yi. What are you doing here?"

Having said that, she felt that what she had said did not convey that she did not wish to engage with him so she added, "As far as I know, they are only auditioning female supporting role today."

Her reaction made Shen Yi chuckle. He cocked his head and said, "Thanks to my dad, I am here as the investor today."

"Is that so?" Xu WanZhi snickered. "Didn't Mr. Shen tell me last time that he no longer wished to attend any events as the young master of the Shen's? Isn't this a bit faceslapping? Are you trying to suppress me by stressing that, trying to make me bad off now?"

"Of course not." Shen Yi stopped smiling and disappointment was very obvious on his handsome face. "If there were any kind of subtext, it would more likely that I wanted to let Miss Xu know that we can find a place and arrive at some sort of an agreement."

Before Xu WanZhi could even roll her eyes, Shen Yi added immediately, "I'm just kidding. WanZhi, I am quite happy to have run into you today. Know that even though you are in my friend's list, but as of late, I had to go watch our show in order to see us together as a couple."

"Mr. Shen, what a bummer that you are not auditioning today with your acting. If I must say, you should compete with Jiang YueXian and take the role of male lead from him. I think you just might earn the title of film emperor during Oscar this year." Xu WanZhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have to watch our show to see us as a couple? What an interesting way of putting it. 'Blossoming Us' had only aired a few episodes and both male and female leads were still in their adolescent years. There was almost zero romance right now. Yet, somehow, so many websites out there have all these edited photos of the two of us. Why bother hiring all the editors to create them if you weren't even going to look at them yourself? Do you think I am stupid or that you are stupid?"

Shen Yi wasn't upset that she had saw through his plot. He merely sighed and said, "Of course I am the stupid one. I continue to hold out hope that, sometimes, when enough work was put behind it, it will become the truth."
