Chapter 261: Yu Bei’s Birthday
Yu Bei’s birthday was on the 12th of November, and the audition date given to Ling Sheng by the handsome director was on the 13th of November.
Ever since Ling Sheng had returned from filming ‘Moon’, she had gone to audition for ‘Secret’ in the meantime. There had been no other jobs, so she had been idling at home for half a month.
However, she did not really stay idle. When Huo Ci was at home, she would run over to bother him patiently. If they were not practicing songs, they would be filming. The two talented actors would act together.
When Huo Ci was not around, she would look at his past notes, acting experiences, and other things. She had watched the movies he often watched in the film studio a few times.
Both the old and the young at home were overjoyed. Huo Xiao wished she would not go out to work and would stay at home every day. His granddaughter was filial. She accompanied them to many places and even bought clothes and shoes at the mall.
Xiaoqi was also very happy, as his mother would take him to kindergarten every day. Although he could not tell his cla.s.smates that she was his mother, it was good that he knew.
Yu Bei was thick-skinned. The previous night, he had been shouting in the group chat for red envelopes and gifts.
Ling Sheng knew that he was an earphone audiophile. At her audiophile father’s recommendation, she spent 20,000 yuan to buy him an earpiece. It was value for money.
However, to an audiophile, 20,000 yuan was just a small sum. No matter how expensive the gift was, she could afford it if she gritted her teeth. However, she felt that it might be a waste, so she chose the right price.
Yu Bei had been too muddled previously and did not have any close friends in the entertainment circle. He had only called a few friends outside the circle. They were all elites of society, and they spoke with decorum.
He had called four people, two of whom were already married and brought their wives. Their personalities were quite nice, and the girls had topics to talk about when they were together, including clothes, bags, and makeup products.
The girls were chatting about makeup products while the boys were also chatting and drinking.
One of Yu Bei’s friends was called Liang Shuye. His family was quite rich, and he was a rich second-generation heir. Initially, he had not been called over. After not seeing each other for two years, they had grown distant. However, he had heard that the film crew of the Eight Immortals was having a gathering and had come with another friend. He had come specifically to celebrate his birthday, so he could not kick him out.
Liang Shuye took a look at Ling Sheng and asked, “Does she have a boyfriend?”
“Don’t get any ideas. You might end up dead without even knowing how you died.” Yu Bei glared at him in warning. “This young lady doesn’t like a social b.u.t.terfly like you.”
A social b.u.t.terfly would be polite. This fellow was a stud. However, when it came to making friends and having s.e.x, both parties had to be willing. He had never treated a girl badly.
“I was just asking.” Liang Shuye could not help but look at her. Seriously, this pretty girl was his type.
“You can ask, but make sure not to use your other head.” Yu Bei knew him well. When he got agitated, he was an animal who only thought with his second head.
“I know.” Liang Shuye nodded in response. He turned around and smiled ambiguously. “Don’t tell me you like her!”
The beer can in Yu Bei’s hand was twisted to hide the fact that he had lost his composure. “Nonsense. We’re like siblings. She likes someone else.”
Although he did not know who that person was, he knew that he was someone he could not offend. In order to make a video website, he had bought the rights to “Everyone’s Magical Power Emergence”.
The incident with Hua Ying two days ago and the purchase of all the copyrights to “Secret” had happened because of her. When the broadcast started, she would definitely be the female lead.
