Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077 is a Spineful One
Shen Mianmian nodded, “I do know them, but we’re not on good terms.”
He Xiaobei was even more puzzled, “If you’re not on good terms, why would you still rent the house to them?”
Shen Mianmian explained, “You just don’t get it, do you? They dislike us but still have to hand over the money they earn for us to spend, don’t you think that feels good?”
“It does seem nice,” He Xiaobei nodded, then suddenly muttered to himself, “As long as he’s not my dad, it’s fine.”
Shen Mianmian almost choked on her saliva. “He Xiaobei, what kind of muddle-headed thoughts are you having in that brain of yours? Don’t ever let catch you with such a ssy idea again. How can he compare to your dad? Your dad is very handso, and if he cos back and finds out you’ve compared him to Gu Jianbin, he’s sure to beat you.”
He Xiaobei stuck out his tongue, and Shen Mianmian added, “Nanny Fu is your biological grandmother, your dad’s surna is He, so you’re called He Xiaobei.”
“I know,” He Xiaobei sighed, “I’m not a three-year-old anymore.”
Shen Mianmian chuckled and took He Xiaobei to the car waiting at the intersection. Checking the ti, she imdiately had the driver take her to et Yang Lan at the arranged location.
Yang Lan arrived just in ti, and when she saw Shen Mianmian with He Xiaobei getting out of the car, she walked over and picked up He Xiaobei, “Xiaobei has grown taller again recently.”
He Xiaobei said in a childish voice, “Aunt Yang is becoming more and more beautiful, and she’s lost a lot of weight too.”
Yang Lan was even more delighted to hear this.
After chatting for a while, they let Nanny Bao and the driver wait outside as the two of them went in for the audition, which turned out to be very successful. The director recognized Shen Mianmian, and with her impressive acting skills, she was imdiately cast as the second female lead.
Shen Mianmian didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. Checking the ti, she saw it was nearly when Yang Xiaoxi would return, so she invited Yang Lan to join them for a al.
Yang Lan didn’t decline, and as the two were preparing to leave, they happened to run into an actor who also ca to audition for the role of the second male lead. However, the director only glanced at him before outright rejecting him.
Shen Mianmian found it odd, “Isn’t that Zeng Yi?”
His two shows from last year were hits, so in theory, he should be in high demand. But for so reason, after last year’s success, he had vanished from the public eye. Logically speaking, the director should have been happy about him auditioning.
But that didn’t seem to be the case.
Moreover, Zeng Yi ca alone, without even his agent, appearing rather forlorn.
Yang Lan glanced at Zeng Yi, who was discussing with the director whether he could try on makeup before making a decision, and whispered, “He’s offended soone and was put on ice by the company.”
Shen Mianmian was slightly surprised, “Who did he offend?”
“A rather significant investor. The investor’s daughter wanted him to accompany her drinking, but he refused,” said Yang Lan. “This issue caused quite a stir in the industry before.”
“He does sound quite principled,” Shen Mianmian turned back for a glance, seeing that Zeng Yi hadn’t given up and seed really eager to play this role. She then quietly said to Yang Lan, “Sister Yang, why don’t you say a few good words to the director on his behalf?”
Yang Lan was taken aback, “You want to help him?”
Shen Mianmian smiled faintly, “I kind of admire that.”
Hearing Shen Mianmian put it that way, Yang Lan agreed on the spot, “I can’t promise the director will give this face.”
Shen Mianmian laughed. Yang Lan was obviously being modest. One shouldn’t underestimate Yang Lan just because she’s an agent; over the years, her reputation in the industry was not small at all.
