章節 42: Give Me a Reasonable Explanation
Last time, after Sheng Xiangsi met Bai Yuanzhou at Mingbang Center Cinema, Bai Yuanzhou was quite satisfied with her.
That day, it was decided that she would go for a makeup trial and also try out a dance routine.
Today was the agreed-upon day.
Because of the makeup trial, Sheng Xiangsi went there with a bare face.
Upon arrival, Sheng Xiangsi contacted Ren Ce.
"Xiangsi!"
Ren Ce was busy and rushed over to greet her, taking her to the makeup room and finding a makeup artist for her.
"After you're done with makeup, come out with everyone."
"Okay, you go ahead and busy yourself."
The few who came for makeup trials were all understudies for the female lead, so their makeup and costumes were the same.
Although understudies didn't need to show their faces, the makeup artists couldn't help but be amazed when they saw Sheng Xiangsi - her face was lucky to be an understudy; any supporting role in the drama wouldn't outshine her.
After the understudies were ready, they all went out together.
Bai Yuanzhou had strict control over the details and specially came to personally oversee things.
As the understudies came out one by one to perform their dance routines, he watched each one closely.
When it was Sheng Xiangsi's turn, Bai Yuanzhou couldn't help but flip through the information in his hands—graduated from an art university in the United States... good at dancing.
Mainly, her figure was just too beautiful.
"Ren Ce."
"Here, Director Bai."
Bai Yuanzhou pointed to Sheng Xiangsi. "Call her over."
"Okay."
Ren Ce saw that something was up; it was someone he had recommended, so naturally, he was delighted and quickly went to fetch Sheng Xiangsi.
"Director Bai, the person is here."
"Mm."
Bai Yuanzhou flipped through the information. "Sheng Xiangsi?"
"Yes, that's me."
Sheng Xiangsi stood with her hands clasped in front of her, confident and composed. She didn't fear the scrutinizing gaze falling on her.
After all, dancers were meant to be seen.
"Mm, not bad."
Bai Yuanzhou asked, "Did you study modern dance?"
"Yes."
"Besides dancing, do you have any other plans?"
"?" Sheng Xiangsi didn't quite understand what he meant for a moment. "What do you mean, Director?"
"It's nothing."
Bai Yuanzhou smiled and skipped over that topic.
Although he was quite satisfied with her face, it was still premature to say. Let's see first if she can handle this understudy role.
He raised his hand and tapped on the information sheet. "Okay, you're hired."
"!" Sheng Xiangsi was momentarily stunned, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of her mouth. "Thank you, Director Bai, thank you."
"Mm."
Bai Yuanzhou waved his hand. "You may go. Ren Ce will communicate the details with you."
"Okay, I won't disturb you, Director."
"Ren Ce."
As Sheng Xiangsi left, Bai Yuanzhou called Ren Ce over and pulled out Sheng Xiangsi's information. "This girl, mark her as a priority."
"Director Bai, what do you mean?"
Bai Yuanzhou said plainly, "As long as she has time, let her come."
"Okay!" Ren Ce was overjoyed, nodding with a smile. "If Xiangsi knows about this, she'll be thrilled!"
Bai Yuanzhou chuckled, unable to resist praising, "She's really photogenic."
Today's candidates were all dance majors, and there were certainly quite a few who danced well.
But film was an art.
Some people were just naturally cinematic. As soon as they faced the camera, that feeling emerged—Sheng Xiangsi was one of those.
"I've given her the opportunity; now it's up to her fate."
"You can rest assured. I recommended her, so I'll keep an eye on her."
Turning around, Ren Ce went to inform Sheng Xiangsi of the news.
"Xiangsi, you must make good use of this opportunity!"
Ren Ce spoke tactfully, and since the future was uncertain, he didn't want to make any big promises. "If you do well this time, Director Bai will take care of you in the future!"
"I know, thank you."
"You're welcome."
With this good news, Sheng Xiangsi left with light steps. This joy lasted until she went to Misel in the evening.
...
End of a day's work.
Rong Zheng brought precise information to Fu Hanjiang. "Er Ye, Xiangsi... does indeed live on West Twelfth Street."
After hearing this, Er Ye's face instantly darkened.
"Huh."
Fu Hanjiang gave a short, meaningful laugh. Interesting.
"I've sent the specific address to your phone," Rong Zheng swallowed nervously, not daring to look at him.
"Okay."
Fu Hanjiang picked up his phone and prepared to check it.
Just then, his phone rang. It was from Qin Yanzhi.
"Hello?"
"Er Ye," Qin Yanzhi teased, "Where are you? Come to Misel tonight."
"Not going."
Fu Hanjiang wasn't in the mood tonight. He had important things to do!
"Don't want to? I heard that you, Second Master Fu, have been quite devoted to someone recently..."
Not wanting to listen to his nonsense, Fu Hanjiang cut him off. "I have something to do. Really not going, that's it."
With that, he hung up.
Looking at Rong Zheng, "Tell the driver to take a break. I'll drive myself tonight."
"Okay, Er Ye."
Rong Zheng guessed that Er Ye was going to catch Sheng Xiangsi himself.
Sure enough, Fu Hanjiang picked up his car keys, left the lounge, took the elevator to the underground garage, got in the car, and headed to West Twelfth Street.
Just like that night, after passing Wenchang Avenue, the car couldn't get into the alley.
Fu Hanjiang got out of the car and walked in.
According to the address Rong Zheng gave him, he found Sheng Xiangsi's residence.
Is it... here?
Fu Hanjiang couldn't believe it. This rundown apartment building, without an elevator, and the dimly lit corridor with an indescribable smell in the air.
People can live here?
Standing at the door, Fu Hanjiang hesitated for a long time, with a hint of anger in his heart, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
However, after knocking for quite some time, no one answered.
Fu Hanjiang had no choice but to give up and call her instead. But there was no answer.
Fu Hanjiang frowned, feeling a hidden rage. "Sheng Xiangsi! You better give me a reasonable explanation!"
...
Misel.
Qin Yanzhi and Zhou Jinting sat facing each other, while Zhong Pei sat beside them.
"Interesting, Second Master Fu didn't show up today? Avoiding us?"
"Probably afraid of us teasing him. Haha..."
Zhong Pei didn't understand and couldn't help asking,
"Why is Second Brother afraid of you teasing him?"
"Kid, you don't know?" Qin Yanzhi glanced at his own younger cousin, "Your Second Brother has been quite devoted to someone recently, it's quite hot."
"Really?" Zhong Pei's gossip heart was piqued, "Who is it?"
"There."
Zhou Jinting pointed to the stage, "It's the lady over there... Miss S."
"..." Instantly, Zhong Pei's expression darkened.
Luckily, the lighting here wasn't too bright, so they couldn't quite see his change in expression.
Zhong Pei paused and smiled, "Second Brother, don't you have someone you like?"
"What's the use of liking?" Fu Hanjiang shook his head, "It's been so many years, our identities are there, it's impossible."
"Sigh." Zhou Jinting sighed, "In the end, we're happy for Fu Hanjiang."
After so many years, finally, there's a woman who can make him look at her differently, right? It's better than hanging himself on Yao Leyi's tree.
The two glanced at each other, "Second Brother didn't come, so we have to guard this lady for him, don't we?"
"Yes."
Qin Yanzhi nodded solemnly and picked up his phone.
"Yeah, send something over to me... Right... In the name of Second Master Fu."
