Chapter 981: First Time Meeting Such A Person
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Che’s performance was intrinsic and not at all exaggerated. However, every look in her eyes displayed despair. The few people who were talking were now silent. They could not deny that the movie was brilliantly done and Lin Che was absolutely the top in the entertainment circle now. It could even be said that she was the best.
The audience was silent until the credits started to roll. Some of them then stood up and applauded fervently.
“Well done!”
“It was lovely.”
“It was deep.”
“Director Nangong is impressive.”
“This is going to sell out.”
Everyone spoke to Nangong Yu enthusiastically. Nangong Yu was also very pleased with the final product. He replied to everyone politely.
Lin Che watched and felt tears in her eyes. A thousand emotions flooded her and tears could not help but well up.
She looked at Nangong Yu. “Who would have thought that the response would be so good?”
Nangong Yu said, “Of course. Remember how you couldn’t leave me alone, wanting me to change this and that every day? I endured so much because of you. If the end result did not go well, I might as well be dead.”
“Tsk.” Lin Che shot him a look speechlessly.
The two of them got up and went to the banquet hall behind to celebrate. On the way, people we’re still congratulating them.
The place was filled with people and naturally, it couldn’t be peaceful throughout. At this moment, someone approached Lin Che and said, “Sister Che, my name is Qu Fangyuan. I’m not sure if you remember me.”
Lin Che looked at this seemingly young lady. She appeared sleek, so she probably wasn’t a newcomer. However, Lin Che could not remember who this person was.
Perhaps it was because it hadn’t been long since she returned. The actors she knew back then were a blur to her now.
Lin Che smiled and asked, “I’m sorry, you are…?”
Qu Fangyuan’s expression shifted and said, “it’s fine. You probably have met too many people. I was your supporting actress a few years back in that TV drama with Gu Jingyu.”
“Oh… Oh, I remember now…” Lin Che suddenly recalled a little bit. This lady was very young back then and she didn’t remember much. “Did you change your name?”
“Yes yes. I was previously called Qu Zhi. People said that it didn’t sound like it could get famous, so I changed it.”
“Oh, I see. Hello.” Lin Che smiled and felt apologetic for not remembering.
However, it was so long ago and they didn’t have many scenes together. Naturally, she did not have a lasting impression of her.
Qu Fangyuan said, “It’s fine if you don’t remember. I just left my old company and I’m thinking of joining a new one. That place can’t make it anymore. None of their resources gets out. I heard that your company is hiring.”
Lin Che’s company was always hiring, but it also had very strict criteria.
Looking at the lady in front of her, she immediately thought that she was not the right fit.
She smiled and said, “I’m not in charge of this. You can approach the company with any questions you have.”
For matters that were difficult for her to reject, she always left it to the company so that they could follow standard protocol. If they didn’t like it, they would not hire and nobody would object it.
Qu Fangyuan said, “I know that Sister Che doesn’t manage this aspect, but I’m just saying hello to you. I’ve been in this circle for many years and there are actually plenty of people trying to poach me. However, I admire your company’s work ethics and attitude a lot.”
Lin Che’s company had nurtured several artists. Thus, the company was really coveted by some, thinking that their resources were not bad. Furthermore, Lin Che had also recently started her own film company and looked like she was going to grow much more. Because of this, many people wanted to get in touch with her too.
But Lin Che never cared about this.
She only heard that staff in the company would get plenty of calls from people daily but they were mostly rejected. This was the first time someone approached her directly, so she really did not know what to say.
Lin Che said, “Sorry, but I really don’t manage much of the things in the company. How about this? I’ll give you a name card and you can call this number.”
Lin Che’s assistant handed out a name card.
Qu Fangyuan’s face immediately sunk.
“Sister Che, I know you’ve probably forgotten me, but I already told you…”
“What?”
“Well, I already said it. Help me out, will you? Anyway, it’s your own company. All you need to do is just say the word.”
“…”
Lin Che said, “Fine, I’ll talk to them.”
Just then, Nangong Yu also seemed to notice the situation. He intercepted and said, “Oh yes, we need to do some promoting over there. Let’s go over there to discuss in a bit.”
Lin Che nodded and followed him.
Seeing her walk away just like that, Qu Fangyuan crossed her arms angrily. “What a big shot.”
Spectators at the side chimed in to add salt to the wound.
“Ha, did you think she would hire you just beside she knows you? Did you think you’re some big shot? She is the big shot here.”
Qu Fangyuan said, “Hmph. Who knows? She probably climbed into Gu Jingyu’s bed back then and now, she climbed into somebody else’s bed to be so lucky. She gets pushed up everywhere she goes and even has a company opened in her name. Does she really think she’s that capable? Hmph.”
Qu Fangyuan continued, “I heard about it long ago. She has a gold mine backing her; I don’t know what he does, but he has been supporting her. Otherwise, which other celebrity has so many bodyguards like her? They say that she is talented, but there are so many other talented actresses. Why her of all people? The moment she returned, she already has some reality show and other programs. Who knows how much money was involved? Did you think she was clean? She only acts like she’s so pure.”
Someone behind asked, “Weren’t you trying to join her company just now?”
“I want to learn how she does that. Hmph.”
Just then, Nangong Yu walked back. He heard what Qu Fangyuan said just now. Looking at Qu Fangyuan’s face, he asked at the side, “Qu Fangyuan, is it that good to speak ill of someone behind their back?”
Qu Fangyuan was taken aback and felt embarrassed. However, she only blushed for a while and scoffed, “I… I’m not talking ill of anyone. Don’t tell me that what I said wasn’t the truth? Don’t tell me that you don’t know.”
“I really don’t know. The Lin Che I see is completely different from the one you described. As for you, you are obviously two-faced. How vicious.”
“Ha, you’re standing up for her? Why? Did she sleep with you too?”
Nangong Yu said angrily, “I dare you to say that again.”
“What? You can do it but I can’t say it? Are you going to kill me because I’m telling the truth? Go ahead. Go ahead and try.”
Nangong Yu scoffed, “I don’t have to do that. Given the stage you are at now, it’s no different from killing you. Nobody recognizes you on the streets anyway.”
“You…”
Nangong Yu said, “Take a good look in the mirror before you talk about others.”
Qu Fangyuan was angrier now. “Yes, yes. I’m not so slutty that I would climb into your bed and that is why I’m getting insulted by you now.”
