Observing the anticipation in Director Wu’s expression, Huang Yue had a clear understanding of his thoughts. She quickly added, “I believe she just arrived today. You know, she’s our school’s beauty and the object of every boy’s affection. She looks even prettier in person than on screen. She’s nearly 18 now, and her figure is becoming even more remarkable.”
Director Wu’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as he responded, “Yes, I caught a glimpse of her from a distance on the set last time. She’s truly stunning. It’s been a year since I last saw her. I wonder how she looks now.”
He started touching Huang Yue’s body and quickly took off her clothes.
Having been through this before, Huang Yue knew what to expect. She draped her arms around the man’s neck and whispered seductively in his ear, “If you do want to see this beauty, it’s not impossible. But Director Wu, if I succeed, how should you thank me?”
Upon hearing her words, Director Wu’s excitement grew. “I’ll reward you generously, my dear. 1 happen to have an excellent period drama in my hands. If this goes smoothly, the role of the second female lead will be yours.”
“Then we have a deal?” Huang Yue kissed his fat face.
Director Wu eagerly lunged toward her. “Now, I’ll make sure to please our Yue Yue, and this will be just the interest of your well-deserved reward…”
When Huang Yue regained consciousness, she found herself completely drained of strength. Director Wu was notorious in the industry for his lecherous behavior and had countless ways to torment people.
Nevertheless, he possessed considerable resources, wealth, and connections. Many second- and third-tier celebrities relied on him to attain fame. Were it not for Huang Yue’s youth and Director Wu’s lust for novelty, she might never have been given the opportunity to serve him.
The next morning, Huang Yue awoke to find Director Wu had already departed. She weakly raised her arm and observed the bruise on her skin, feeling a deep sense of resentment.
As her phone rang, displaying Director Wu’s incoming call, Huang Yue gathered her composure and answered in a sweet voice.
“Yue Yue, are you awake?” Director Wu’s voice carried a tone of concern. “I got a bit carried away yesterday, hehe. There’s a little gift for you on the head of the bed. Take some rest. There’s a photo shoot for an advertisement in the afternoon, and I’ve already informed Zhao Cheng.”
“Thank you, Director Wu, but you really need to learn to be more gentle with women. You hurt me,” Huang Yue responded as she picked up a luxurious diamond earring from the bedside. It appeared to be worth tens of thousands of yuan, and her voice brimmed with delight.
“Isn’t it because my Yue Yue is just too irresistible? Your fresh and tender beauty drives me wild.”
Director Wu quipped, indulging in a few more lovey-dovey words before getting to the point. “I made some inquiries. Director Xu is collaborating with a local television station. Wen Nian is in town shooting a public service advertisement. She started filming today, and I think she’ll wrap up by tomorrow at the latest. What do you think her plans are after that? Will she return to Hai City?”
Huang Yue, understanding his intentions, tossed the diamond earring aside. She was well aware of what he was getting at.
“Don’t worry, Wen Nian and I used to be best friends. She won’t refuse me.”
Huang Yue shifted the conversation and inquired, “But Director Wu, I heard the cast for your ancient drama has already been decided. Isn’t it a bit late for me to join as the second female lead?”
Director Wu made a promise directly. “Yue Yue, don’t worry. Once this matter is settled, you’ll be on set the very next day!”
“Alright, Director Wu, wait for my good news.”
Huang Yue ended the call and opened Wen Nian’s WeChat. After contemplating for a while, she decided that a direct invitation wouldn’t work. However, she remembered that when she accompanied Wei Xiao last time, he had gotten quite drunk and divulged some information about the Wei and Wen families, particularly mentioning a financial transaction between them. This had sparked a lot of online discussion.
After careful consideration, Huang Yue composed a WeChat message and sent it off.
Huang Yue: Wen Nian, could we arrange a meeting? I’ve learned something about your grandfather borrowing money from Wei Xiao’s family, and 1 believe it’s best discussed in person.
At that moment, Wen Nian was in the midst of a filming session. In fact, Xu Chang had already recorded the necessary footage and content from the other cast members. He hadn’t selected a female lead because he was waiting for Wen Nian to begin her vacation. Despite it being for a public service advertisement, he didn’t want to hastily choose a female lead, which was why the filming had been delayed for this long.
Shen Jun had been with Wen Nian on set. When he heard her phone ring and saw the message’s contents on the screen, his frown deepened.
He still had a recollection of Huang Yue, but what was her relationship with Wei Xiao?
