Wu Sheng sent the photos he had secretly taken of Jiang Can at the meeting to Jiang Mingyuan.
Although he wasn't very clear on the details, Jiang Mingyuan could still tell that it was Jiang Can.
He never imagined that Jiang Can, once an ugly duckling, would transform into such a noble and beautiful woman.
Jiang Mingyuan was so angry he almost had a brain hemorrhage, and he turned off the photo with trembling hands.
"Is this your daughter? Hehe, I knew I wouldn't mistake her!"
"Oh," Jiang Mingyuan said casually, "Why are you asking about her?"
"It's nothing, just checking in!"
"Ha!" Jiang Mingyuan knew perfectly well what the hidden meaning was behind that "concern".
"She's already married, I have no idea how she's doing these days!"
"What?" Wu Sheng frowned. "So young... married? Which family's promising young man?"
Jiang Mingyuan gritted his teeth, "A convict!"
Wu Sheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
It took me a while to come to my senses after the other end of the phone hung up.
He thought back on his interactions with Jiang Mingyuan over the years. He seemed to recall hearing Jiang complain at a drinking party once, saying that the previous generation had arranged some kind of marriage, but now the family was either dead or scattered, leaving behind a good-for-nothing son who was always fighting, acting like a hooligan, and ending up in jail at the drop of a hat...
Wu Sheng suddenly felt a surge of joy.
He had known for a long time that Jiang Mingyuan disliked this illegitimate daughter, but he didn't expect him to dislike her this much!
They actually watched their daughter jump into a fire pit!
So, that pretty girl must have run away to Yangcheng to escape her husband, who was a convict.
With her excellent qualifications and talent, she was hired by Yufeng Media, and then gradually got to where she is today...
She had no background; even her maternal family was just a figurehead.
Even if he did something to her, she would have no choice but to accept it, and might even swallow her anger and follow him for the sake of money.
Wu Sheng started to have designs on Jiang Can, grinning from ear to ear, his face full of greasy wrinkles.
Married young wives are even more fun...
Ha, her husband is useless, so he should pamper her!
...
A week later, the open auditions for the film roles officially began.
In addition to several directors, there were also seats for representatives of the investors on the judging panel.
Originally, Yufeng Media's seats were arranged on the left, but Huo Zhixing's sudden appearance caught the organizers off guard, and they hurriedly rearranged the seats.
“No need for such a complicated process.” Huo Zhixing said calmly, “I also have shares in Yufeng Media. I’m here on behalf of President Fu.”
Despite this, the organizers did not dare to neglect Huo Zhixing and still placed him in the very center.
Fu Xiuyu didn't attend that day; Jiang Can came instead. Her seat was some distance from Huo Zhixing's, but as soon as she sat down, she met the man's deep and ardent gaze.
She smiled slightly, quickly turned her face away, and focused intently on the artists appearing on stage.
In the first round of the talent show, the artists from Yufeng Media and Qingshan Entertainment were evenly matched in singing and dancing, making for a fierce and exciting competition that perfectly fit the formula of a variety show.
Jiang Can read very carefully, occasionally writing and drawing in the notebook.
Even though there was a script for the variety show and the scores were agreed upon in advance, the cameras could film the judges' panel at any time, so she still had to put on a show.
Wu Sheng was distracted the whole time, his eyes fixed on Jiang Can. Several times when the host asked him questions, he forgot what to say and had to look at the teleprompter to barely manage to answer.
He made several mistakes in the last part of the recording, and after finally finishing the recording with difficulty, he looked up and suddenly met Huo Zhixing's cold eyes.
Wu Sheng shuddered in fright, then forced out a fawning smile.
"Young Master Huo... Third Young Master Huo!"
He rubbed his hands on his clothes and stretched them out. "I've heard so much about Young Master Huo from Yangcheng back in Jiangzhou! I've admired him for so long! To be able to film a movie invested in by Young Master Huo is truly... truly a blessing from my past life! Hahaha..."
Huo Zhixing gave him a cold look and did not shake his hand.
Wu Sheng held his hand in mid-air for a long time, then, feeling awkward, he withdrew it with a forced smile.
"What are you looking at?" Huo Zhixing's voice was as cold and sharp as a knife.
"Ah? I..." Wu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat again, and his back felt cold.
Huo Zhixing had known all along that this bastard was eyeing Jiang Can.
Wu Sheng is truly the first person to dare to be so blatant in front of him!
Should we gouge out his eyes or just cripple his manhood?
As Huo Zhixing thought about it, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The chilling and imposing aura emanating from him made Wu Sheng's scalp tingle.
Wu Sheng rolled his eyes and quickly realized that which man wouldn't be attracted to a woman like Jiang Can?
Let Huo Sanshao play first. When this young master gets tired of playing with it, he can pick up what's left!
After all, compared to women, life is more important...
Wu Sheng looked at Huo Zhixing with a mixture of fear and a desire to please him, forcing a smile as he said, "That... that's the senior assistant at Yufeng Media. Ha, I've heard about her! She's the daughter of a friend of mine, an illegitimate child. I heard she married a hoodlum and isn't living a very good life..."
"If the Third Young Master likes it, then... then I'll get it for him?"
Huo Zhixing clenched his fist under the table, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
He didn't speak, his face growing increasingly gloomy, while Wu Sheng was completely bewildered, his mind filled with images of Jiang Can.
I wonder when this guy will get tired of playing?
The novelty probably wears off quickly for scions of wealthy families like them...
As Wu Sheng was lost in thought, he suddenly realized that Jiang Can was no longer in her seat.
Huo Zhixing, who was with him, was nowhere to be seen.
There's another program to record, and this one is extremely important, as most of it will be broadcast on television.
Moreover, the artists in the next round are clearly several levels higher in status than those in the previous round.
If Huo Zhixing isn't there, what's the point of this talent show?
Just as Wu Sheng was about to run out to find someone, the organizers issued a notice:
"Everyone, that concludes today's recording. We'll be recording the next session next week. Thank you all for your hard work and cooperation!"
Wu Sheng paused for a moment, then sat down in his seat dejectedly.
He glanced at Jiang Can's empty seat, his heart itching with longing. He still had to wait another week to see this beauty.
However, he was unaware that several other pairs of eyes were also watching him at that moment.
