Chapter 293: How Is Senior Doing?

She was not as well-known, good at acting, or as well-connected as Youlan.
Youlan’s career had been smooth, and no one had been able to compete with her since she debuted.
No one knew why Youlan suddenly decided to appear in a TV series.
Her resources in the film industry were not the same as those small-budget romantic dramas.
They were either big productions or films that were going to win awards.
She did not need to be like a traffic star to make the transition through this drama.
As for the pay, Haolun’s drama had never paid much.
It was because there was never a shortage of people who lowered their pay to compete for roles.
Therefore, the pay for playing Xuyan was not necessarily higher than her movie pay.
Even Haolun was surprised to know that Youlan had come to audition for the role of Xuyan.
He didn’t know why Youlan had come.
If she wanted to develop in the television industry, all she had to do was say the word, and a large number of investors would be willing to give her scripts to choose from. They would even be willing to specially create a big female lead drama with her as the center, and the pay would be ridiculously high.
“Enough, stop running your mouth,” Youlan said to Xiaoxiao in a low voice, seemingly displeased. “If people hear this, it’s not appropriate.”
The staff members of the production team pretended not to hear her and did not say anything.
It did not matter to her who came to act. She did not have to go along with anyone’s words.
Although Youlan was clearly hinting that the staff member should also follow this assistant called Xiaoxiao to support her, the staff member’s expression did not change.
As usual, the staff member said politely with a smile, “Teacher Su, please come in.”
“Wait.” Xiaoxiao stopped the staff member again. “Jiang Xun is also waiting in this lounge with our Sister Youlan? Our Sister Youlan has no intention of being overbearing and not sharing the lounge with others. I’m just curious. Jiang Xun is a newcomer and doesn’t have a representative work. Why isn’t she waiting in the big lounge with the others? Does she have some kind of backing?”
Although Jiang Xun had acted in two dramas, she was not the main character.
Not being the main character wasn’t the main point. When Xiaoxiao said that Jiang Xun did not have any representative works, strictly speaking, no one could say that what she said was wrong.
How could the staff know that this was all arranged by Haolun’s assistant? She could only say, “I’m not too sure either. Then, how about I react and prepare a separate lounge for Teacher Su? But it might take a little longer…”
“There’s no need.” Youlan pretended to be displeased as she glared at Xiaoxiao. “You’re the only one with a lot on your plate.”
Xiaoxiao pouted. “I’m just curious why Jiang Xun can be in the same lounge as you, Sister Youlan!”
“I’m sorry, this assistant of mine is usually spoiled by me. She’s very straightforward,” Youlan said to the staff member with a smile.
The staff member smiled.
She had never participated in a film crew before, so she didn’t have many opportunities to get in touch with Youlan.
Today, when she got in touch with Youlan, she found that she was very different from the rumors.
She was quite… two-faced.
Girls could be said to be quite sensitive to two-faced girls.
The staff member thought that as long as it was a man standing in her position today, he would have to praise Youlan’s good character.
In the past, she had always heard that some celebrities did not treat their assistants well and did not treat them as human beings. Today, when she heard Youlan say that she spoiled her assistant, she would definitely think that Youlan had a good temper and treated the people around her well!
However, she would not notice that Youlan said this. Wasn’t she clearly showing off that she was a good person and treated her assistant well? Wasn’t she different from those celebrities?
The staff member secretly pursed her lips. She was saying that her assistant was straightforward, but she did not say that what her assistant said was wrong.
Hur!
The staff member’s impression of Youlan plummeted. “Then do you want to use this lounge?”
Youlan also did not expect this staff member to be so stubborn. After saying so much just now, this staff member still did not seem to care about her, as if she did not hear anything.
“I’ll use this one. There’s no need to trouble yourself,” Youlan said with a smile.
Thus, Youlan brought her assistant into the lounge.
Haolun’s assistant greeted her, “Teacher Su.”
Jiang Xun knew that in this circle, everyone would call her teacher, so she didn’t hesitate to take the initiative to greet her. “Teacher Su.”
“Hello, you are…” Youlan asked as if she didn’t recognize Jiang Xun.
The staff member who brought Youlan over secretly pursed her lips. As expected.
she clearly knew who Jiang Xun was just now, and now she was putting on an act.
“I’m Jiang Xun,” Jiang Xun said nonchalantly.
“Jiang Xun?” Youlan took out her phone. “I’m sorry, I’ll look you up now.”
Youlan put on an act and searched for information about Jiang Xun online. She said in surprise, “You’re a newcomer and not a professional performer, but you’ve already worked with Director Deng Xu and Director Chen Zilong. You’re really amazing.”
Jiang Xun nodded. “Director Deng and Director Chen also said the same thing about me. They even said that my acting skills are very good.”
In reality, both of them had said that her acting skills were the ceiling of the industry.
However, Jiang Xun did not say this out loud. She was afraid that she would draw hatred towards Deng Xu and Zilong, so she did not say it out loud.
Therefore, she could only say in a low-key manner that they praised her acting skills.
As for how good they said she was, she didn’t say it out loud.
Everything was to protect Deng Xu and Zilong!
Everyone was silent.
Jiang Xun still felt that she had kept a low enough profile, but Youlan was speechless for a moment because of Jiang Xun.
She was just saying. How could Jiang Xun really believe it?
Moreover, when ordinary people encountered such a situation, they would be self-deprecating and say that they hadn’t done enough and that she was more outstanding.
Why was it completely different when it came to Jiang Xun?
It was fine to boast, but why didn’t she compliment her?
Jiang Xun did not know what Youlan was thinking. Otherwise, she would have told Youlan seriously, “I’m no ordinary person.”
Haolun’s assistant and the staff member curled their lips. It was not easy for them to hold back their laughter.
Youlan had probably never met someone like Jiang Xun who was really straightforward and would not play mind games with her!
Youlan forced out a smile and laughed twice. Then, she lowered her head and continued to read Jiang Xun’s online profile.
“Fengjiang ship?” Youlan mumbled softly. She had practiced countless times on her face, so her flawless smile paused slightly. She looked up at Jiang Xun and asked, “How is Senior doing? I haven’t seen him for some time.”
Senior?
Jiang Xun raised her eyebrows.
What Senior?
“What Senior?” Jiang Xun asked Youlan. “Are you referring to Qin Mufeng?”
“Yes.” Youlan nodded. “We went to the same school from elementary school to high school. It’s just that I went to the National Opera in college, so I haven’t seen him since I got busy.”
Jiang Xun raised her eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, she saw Youlan shake her head. She smiled and said, “I was stupid. You guys are just a pairing that netizens like, not a real couple. Even if I asked, how would you know about his situation?”
Jiang Xun replied, “Oh.”
Jiang Xun sat down and took out her phone. She opened Mufeng’s Wechat and asked through voice mail, “Do you know Su Youlan?”
