Chapter 206: Chapter 176 The Person Who Heard Wenyan’s Inner Voice_2
The first ti he called, he was already very sincere, and when we t later, he was even more full of sincerity.
Other crews had only sent Wenyan a small part of the script when they first invited her.
But the script for “Palace Heart Lock” was personally delivered to her by the director in front of her.
So after considering for a mont, Wenyan nodded and agreed to the director’s request.
“Okay, I’ll play Empress Hui.”
Upon hearing this answer, the director imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s great! Co on, try my tea; I was really worried just now that you’d drop out. I’ll still look for you for the next film, really.”

Returning to the hotel that evening, Wenyan received a ssage from Shen Jinghe.
Shen Jinghe asked how her day went at the set, and she simply told Shen Jinghe about the day’s events.
Not long after she sent the ssage, Shen Jinghe’s call ca through.
“What are you doing?” Shen Jinghe started as soon as the call connected.
“Lying down, texting you. And then you called. Where are you? Have you rested at the hotel yet?”
“Mhm, just got here. Who’s that actress you ntioned?”
“Her? Fu Yiqing. Do you know her?”
“Don’t know her,” Shen Jinghe sounded puzzled, “How is it I seem to have never heard of this na.”
Wenyan laughed: “If you haven’t heard of her, that’s right. She’s not from our country, she’s just co over to develop her career, from X Country.”
Speaking of which, this X Country in the novel’s world setting was a lot like Singapore in Wenyan’s world.
There were many Chinese people there, speaking Chinese, and many artists developed their careers here. Fu Yiqing was one of them; just by appearance, you couldn’t tell she was a foreigner at all.
Shen Jinghe seed to take this for granted: “No wonder, do you know which agency she’s signed with now?”
“Why?” Wenyan chuckled, “Checking up on this and that, are you going to fight for ? Actually, my agreeing to switch roles wasn’t because I was compromising to her, but because of the director. Tell , have you ever encountered sothing like this before? Or has everything always gone smoothly for you?”
“How could everything always go smoothly.”
“So that ans you’ve encountered it before.”
“Yes, more than once.”
“How did you handle it at the ti?”
“Back then, I wasn’t as lucky as you; when I was replaced, that was it, there wouldn’t be a similarly substantial role offered to . But you’re different from
now.”
“How is it different?”
“I’ve never publicly disclosed my family connections. Back then, there was no one to support .”
“I haven’t disclosed it either. Right now, it seems like only Wanwan in the circle knows about my relationship with you guys.”
“…Are you dumb? Wouldn’t I support you? You haven’t disclosed it, but I’ll take the initiative.”
“Oh~ So I forgot about you, due to my lack of consideration!” Wenyan imdiately started teasing Shen Jinghe, “I really didn’t expect it, our proud and aloof Mr. Shen Jinghe, who repels others from thousands of miles away and normally doesn’t care to deal with people!
“One day he’d actually take the initiative to support soone, tsk tsk tsk, I should order a banner of honor for you tomorrow, to let the whole world know of your ‘altruistic’ virtue.”
“…” Even over the phone, Wenyan could feel Shen Jinghe grinding his teeth, “You’re about to lose a mountain to lean on; I take back what I just said.”
“Hahaha,” Wenyan laughed, “I knew you couldn’t take a joke, but that’s why I like teasing you.”
“…Stop laughing. You still haven’t told
which agency Fu Yiqing is with.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll stop laughing. She’s probably with Star Entertainnt, if I rember correctly. One of the top agencies.”
“Yeah, I know Star Entertainnt. Do you know who her manager is?”
“I don’t know that; I’ve never even t her. Filming has only been going on for a few days, and so far, it looks like she only has two assistants with her. But Big Brother, I know you are reliable, but this ti I don’t really lose out. Who cares who her manager is, there’s no need for you to step in.”
“What if she bullies you elsewhere in the future? Or if she plays more tricks?”
“Then there’s no need to ask; of course, I’ll bully back, and if I can’t handle it, I’ll call for backup. I’ve always been savvy about the situation. Where there’s no danger, there I’ll be. Always have soone else do the work; never do it yourself if possible.”
“…” Shen Jinghe, “You really have a way.”
“What? Afraid of being a mountain for
now?”
“Whoever’s afraid is a dog!”
–
In the end,
things really turned out as Shen Jinghe predicted.
A few days after filming began, Fu Yiqing made trouble again.
The character she was playing, Consort Li, started off as a ‘Palace Maid’ with no background, no wealth, no skills, needing to start from scratch, having only a beautiful face; hence, she suffered a lot of bullying in the palace initially.
