Chapter 4006: A Perfect Match (202)
What mattered was not how good the movie was. The point was, because this movie was starring Hua Jin, and one of the investors was Huanyu. This meant that the show would definitely occupy the popularity rankings from the moment it was aired. Furthermore, Huanyu would do everything to promote it. That would only mean more exposure and popularity for the show.
What Li Jing lacked the most was popularity and audience. If she could use Hua Jin’s current status to gain some popularity for herself, then needless to say, it was to her own advantage.
The role of the Kokakuchō didn’t take up much of the show, but it was definitely an important character. Besides, it had a good persona and would certainly attract a lot of fans.
She had hoped that with this role, she would be able to take her career to the next level. However, she did not expect that just as she was about to complete the filming of all her parts in the film… The director had actually fired her. Moreover, all her scenes had been edited and deleted, and the role given to a new actress.
This newcomer was Liang Yin. How could she not hate her?
From where Li Jing sat in the booth, she could see Liang Yin’s face. She watched Liang Yin and Hua Jin playing with their phones sitting opposite each other, as if they were very familiar with each other.
Anyone else sitting in front of Hua Jin would have been so nervous that they wouldn’t know what to do. Taking herself for example, with her status, she didn’t even have the clout to sit at the same table as him. Even if she did, she would be trembling in fear of offending him by making the slightest mistake.
On the other hand, Liang Yin looked as if she was friends with Hua Jin. Li Jing was even more suspicious of her relations.h.i.+p with Qin Zhou! Could it be that Liang Yin was very close to Qin Zhou, so Hua Jin was naturally also close to her?
After all, Qin Zhou was his superior.
In that case, one could not help but wonder what method Liang Yin had used to get where she was!
Li Jing had been secretly observing them. She saw Hua looking at the time and then he gestured to the waiter. After a few words with the waiter, the latter started to serve the dishes.
...
It seemed they weren’t going to wait.
The two of them talked as they ate. From time to time, Liang Yin looked out of the window, as if waiting for her manager.
After a while, Li Jing saw Liang Yin standing up and walking towards the restroom. She stood up, followed behind her and entered the restroom.
Liang Yin walked out of the cubicle. Just as she came to the sink, she ran into Li Jing!
She was shocked and immediately reacted. Her lips twitched stiffly. “Why, Senior Li Jing, it’s you.”
“Spill the beans!” Li Jing spoke without any warning, and looked as though she was announcing a verdict. “How did you get the role of the Kokakuchō?!”
Liang’s heart skipped a beat. She said honestly, “I… Hua Jin told me that they were looking for someone to fill the role, and he helped me to secure an audition for the role!”
“Hmph.”
Li Jing had no obvious edge, she could only say sarcastically, “And there I was wondering why the director fired me for no reason. So it was you who intercepted me for the role!”
Liang Yin was stunned to hear this. From the sound of it, Li Jing suspected that Liang Yin was the one who had secretly intercepted her, and caused her to be fired from the production team.
Being misunderstood, Liang Yin felt a little aggrieved. But what she didn’t understand was, why did Li Jing have to interpret her in this manner?
