Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Hao Chun didn't delay and also took his phone out to check the email he received from Zhao Fei. He connected his phone to the projector and let the others view the resume of the artist she recommended for him.

Seeing the plain black and white background that the projector was showing to them, the entire room became silent.

Producer Ding looked at the picture attached to the resume and exhaled a long breath. His eyes were focused on the female beauty's appearance and felt hot.

"This... are you sure you're showing the resume that your senior sister sent to you earlier?" Producer Ding asked.

Hao Chun was also stunned for a moment and looked again through his phone. After confirming that it was really the resume that he received from his senior, he looked up again and nodded at everyone's piercing gaze.

"Ran Xueyi... Isn't she the actress who played some of the station's films?" Director Sun asked.

Producer Ding nodded and also replied, "I've worked with her in the past. She's really talented in acting the role she was tasked to play as perfectly."

In the past, Producer Ding had the chance to work with Ran Xueyi. At that time, she was still sixteen years old and was already highly respected by other stars in the acting circle not only because she had a fanbase that many couldn't beat easily but also because she proved everyone wrong that she wasn't merely just a young woman with a pretty face trying to use her appearance to get roles, she made several directors and artists' prejudice about her to accept her frightening skill in acting.

Director Sun had little opinion about Ran Xueyi and hadn't worked with her either. But he still had some impressions on the young woman who showed up in several award-winning films.

"Though her resume looked very flavorful and fragrant... She's been inactive for six years and only just recently accepted a role which started filming this month. I'm afraid that she might not be able to meet our expectations."

Director Sun didn't speak any lies there and was only saying his concerns. Everyone knew this and agreed with him.

"You're right..." Producer Ding was still staring at the resume projected on the whiteboard in front of them and propped his chin on his hands. "However, we shouldn't judge very quickly. Actors put higher expectations on themselves, and they should be confident enough to meet the expectations of the directors. I'm not saying that we should pick her... I'm saying we should give her a chance. If Ran Xueyi didn't change even after six years of inactivity and still has the resolve to act again, then I'm confident that she would be able to act any role she's given very well."

With that, the crew was given a notice that Ran Xueyi was considered to play the third lead role in the movie.

...

Back to the filming set of < A Thousand Lotus >.

In the script, Ran Xueyi played the female lead, Jiao Yu. Because she volunteered to become her adopted father's replacement, she became a member of a deadly organization to pay his debts to them.

Jiao Yu was usually a quiet lady who was very reserved and anti-social. However, in front of outsiders, she was a warm person with a sunny attitude. She got along with a lot of people and was even called the 'flower' of Yun Capital. Nobody thought that this beautiful and good-natured person could be so poisonous and ruthless when she rips off this warm-hearted mask of hers.

It was only Zhilan, who played the third lead role Han Yue, who saw through her disguise when she witnessed Jiao Yu, who always had this pure and innocent image, raise a dagger and mercilessly drive the tip inside a person's chest. Since then, Han Yue was always on the defensive whenever she encountered Jiao Yu.

The next scene was a critical point for every character.

The protagonist was schemed by Han Yue, who envied Jiao Yu's beauty because she was eyed by the man Han Yue's lover. After a long day of thinking, Han Yue made a great decision to relay what she witnessed that night and tell her father about it. Han Yue's father didn't believe her at first, but since Han Yue's confession was too detailed and elaborate, his doubts were cleared, and he finally believed her.

Using her daughter's divulgence, Han Yue's father contacted an organization and hired them to quickly trap Jiao Yu and capture her. The mission was a success, and Jiao Yu was kept in a cage and tortured by Han Yue's father.

Han Yue didn't know the seriousness of her confession and thought that her father had just only scared Jiao Yu a little bit before letting her go. But when she found out what really happened after her father told her that he had tortured Jiao Yu, she was eaten away by her guilt and regret.

No matter if she witnessed Jiao Yu killing somebody, Han Yue didn't know the truth behind the reason why she killed that person. As for her jealousy toward Jiao Yu, it didn't seem to balance out the things that her father had done to her dear friend.

But her regret was too late.

Jiao Yu was almost unrecognizable when Han Yue saw her again. There were several scars on her body, saved for her pretty face; every spot of her skin was unspared.

Before Han Yue could really cry her eyes out due to her guilt and want to help Jiao Yu to escape, a reversal came.

Jiao Yu, who was 'trapped' and almost on the brink of her death, opened her eyes. The moment Han Yue moved closer to her, Jiao Yu had already moved her limbs and twisted Han Yue's neck with the metal chains restraining her wrists.

She had long waited for this moment to come, and all the 'preparations' were finished.

By the time Han Xieyang and the others arrived to once again interrogate and torture Jiao Yu, the dungeon where she was kept had become a sea of blood, even the wall was dripping with blood as many people were slaughtered.

Han Xieyang and the others couldn't accept what had happened there and chased after Jiao Yu. They believed that she was too injured and weak to even move a finger after killing everyone.

,m However, before they could even grab hold of her, the ground underneath them had sunken, and they were buried alive to tell no man about the tale of their deaths.

Director Qing looked at the haggard and bloodied Ran Xueyi in front of him and seriously said, "There's not much line when you act out these scenes. However, since you and Zhilan will have to meet again before the massacre, I need you to remember that you once treated her as your friend, making your feelings about killing these people a bit mixed."

"She's the one who will send you to a hell undeserving for anyone to experience in their life. As someone who took the path of vengeance, you will show no mercy to anyone. And as a result of her betrayal, you will be forced to erase the existence of any fond feelings or friendship in your mind."

Ran Xueyi nodded. "I understand, Director Qing."
