Chapter 146: Drawing CloserYang Mi was rather vain. She believed that the only one capable of snatching the role from her was Yan Bingqing. That would be acceptable as the latter had a higher reputation and more resources.
Thus, when she learned that she had lost to a rookie with no track record, she was displeased.
When she found out that Yun Shishi would be at tonight’s gala, she decided to check her out. In the end, she had nothing to criticize about this newbie. She also realized why Lin Fengtian had insisted on this girl to have the female lead role. Yun Shishi in her white gown seemed to have just stepped out of that teen novel. She even agreed with the director’s choice to cast Yun Shishi as Yin Xiachun.
Yun Shishi could suss out the hostility in her words. She smilingly replied, “It’s kind of Director Lin to give me the role; Shishi is nervous about it, too.”
“Hmph. Nervous?” Yang Mi laughed sarcastically. “You need not be nervous. The entertainment industry isn’t as simple as you think. You can’t make it big on looks alone. Looks without skills will only lead to elimination sooner or later.”
Yun Shishi was unperturbed and maintained her smile. “Thank you for your kind advice, Sister Yang Mi. Shishi will keep your words in mind.”

Li Jiuxian walked over with a wine glass in his hand. He was dumbstruck by the sheer beauty of Yun Shishi, who was standing with a smile before Yang Mi.
Yun Shishi?
He had heard of her name before.
He was among the first few candidates to be considered for the male lead role in the ‘The Green Apple’. In the end, he was given a supporting role.
Acting in this teen movie would help enhance his idol image. Besides, this film was going to directed by the great Lin Fengtian. He would accept any role, even a cameo, in it. If this were just any average movie, he would reject the role as a second fiddle.
He had already seen Yun Shishi’s audition photo but was still swooned by her in person. She was radiantly beautiful.
“Are you… Yun Shishi?” He could not hide the admiration in his eyes.
“Yes, how do you do?” she affirmed with a smile. Inside, she was awkwardly deliberating over the identity of the man.
She barely followed the entertainment news and often confused the names of artistes.
Li Jiuxian was a relative new actor, so it was hardly surprising for her not to have heard of him yet.
…
Yun Na entered the venue with He Lingxiang and eagerly followed him to meet a few directors. One had even directed a Hollywood film that was nominated in the Oscars.
This was her first time seeing such splendor and was grateful to the man despite him forbidding her to speak at all.

She was feeling excited and elated.
This was when he pulled her to the side and asked, “Where is your sister?”
“Ah!” She clasped her mouth in alarm. She had almost forgotten about this.
He looked at her warningly. “You’d better not forget what I’ve instructed you earlier.”
“No, I didn’t. I was just—”
“Don’t you worry. You’ll get an appropriate reward as long as you give me what I want.” He was getting impatient.
She nodded readily. She scanned the crowd and spotted her adoptive sister. “Director He, my sister is over there!”
“Let’s go.”
He picked up a glass of alcohol from the counter. The corners of his mouth evoked a touch of evilness as he walked toward Yun Shishi.
