Chapter 24 Tell Me Where She Is
Chen Li, who always listened to her sister, immediately figured it out.
"I understand, sister. I'm not sad anymore. I just feel a little wronged."
Chen Ci smiled when she heard this: "Since you like this line of work, you should always be prepared for emergencies and don't cry easily. The entertainment industry is ever-changing. You might not even have wiped away your tears of grievance one second, but a better role will come your way the next second."
Chen Li smiled and nodded. Zhao Meina beside her also said, "Sister is right. Besides, our teacher said in the first class we entered the school that there are only small actors, but no small roles. Chen Li is so beautiful, even if she plays a small unknown role, she will definitely be remembered."
"That's right."
The roommates nodded in agreement.
With such roommates around, Shen Ci felt relieved even if he was not with his sister.
As a result, the next day, Xu Zishan deliberately sat next to Shen Li in the cafeteria to show off.
"Shanshan, you're amazing. You managed to land such an important role without making any noise."
"That's right, 'Ayu' was the character with the most important scenes among the roles auditioned that day, right?"
"In the original novel, this character had the most screen time of all the maids, and she didn't leave the screen until later in the novel."
Several classmates from Class 8 surrounded Xu Zishan and flattered her. Everyone knew privately that her father had invested money in the crew.
Her family is well-off, and she will definitely be the first one to stand out among her classmates in the future. So even though everyone knows that she is a well-funded person, they still want to have a good relationship with her.
Xu Zishan glanced at Chen Li and said with a tone that could not hide her pride: "Maybe the director thinks I have potential. Anyway, I think I can play anyone. It doesn't matter to me."
After saying this, he nodded slightly with an innocent look on his face, as if confirming what he had just said.
Chen Li and the others were sitting next to each other, so they naturally heard what was said. Wang Chuhan rolled his eyes and muttered, "Bringing money into the group and wanting to show it off to the world, how shameless."
"That's right." Sun Yuan curled her lips and picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it on Chen Li's plate: "Chen Li, ignore her. People like her will bring bad luck to anyone who comes into contact with them."
If it weren't for her sister's words yesterday, Chen Li would definitely still be wasting her time.
But after listening to her sister's analysis yesterday, she thought about it. It was indeed not very pleasing for a newcomer to play a villain in her debut film. Moreover, the character of "Ayu" was treacherous and ungrateful, and her personality was particularly bad and ugly. When she auditioned, she only picked out a part of the plot to perform. If she really joined the crew, she might not be able to fully substitute for such a vicious role.
Being replaced isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Seeing that she looked normal, they looked at each other and knew that she really didn't care. Zhao Meina smiled and said, "Sister's words are still useful."
In the evening, Shen Ci took out all the brand-name clothes he had recently bought in the dormitory, thinking that he should dress more formally to attend the cocktail party.
But after trying around, she realized that although she had bought a bunch of brand-name items, none of them were prepared for the cocktail party. After all, she had never thought that she would be invited to any investor cocktail party.
"I have a new Dolce & Gabbana dress. Why don't you try it on?" Gu Lianxing leaned on the bed frame beside her and looked at Chen Ci and suggested.
Chen Ci glanced up and down at Gu Lianxing's supermodel-like slender figure, and said with embarrassment: "I shouldn't be able to wear your skirt, right?"
"I bought the loose version, you should be able to wear it."
As she spoke, Gu Lianxing pulled out her suitcase and started rummaging through it. After a while, she pulled the skirt in the dust bag out from the bottom.
Shen Ci tried it on and it was a perfect fit.
At least it looks much more reliable than my own clothes.
Gu Lianxing patted the chair again: "Sit down, I'll make a big wave for you."
Chen Ci looked at the curling iron in Gu Lianxing's hand and subconsciously touched her right forearm. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and shook her head: "No, I don't like curly hair."
Gu Lianxing didn't notice anything unusual and just nodded: "You are beautiful, you look good no matter what you wear."
At seven o'clock in the evening at Huading Starlight Building, Shen Ci arrived as promised.
"Ms. Shen, you are very punctual."
The moment Lu Jinzhao received the news, he rushed out to pick her up. Even though Chen Ci borrowed clothes today and didn't do her hairstyle specially, Lu Jinzhao couldn't hide his amazement.
It's a casual and understated beauty.
He extended his arm like a gentleman, and Shen Ci also took it with grace. It was just a social etiquette between the opposite sexes at a high-class party, and there was nothing to be shy about.
Little did they know that the moment the two of them entered the banquet hall, their backs were captured by a shutter button.
"Qiqi, what are you filming? Do you know him?"
Farther down the corridor, Lin Biqi snorted complacently, "Humph, that girl just now is the Chen Ci I told you about seducing Brother Li Xiao. I've asked around, and the rumor at school is that Chen Ci broke up with Brother Li Xiao abruptly. There must be something fishy going on. Brother Li Xiao must have suspected she'd already found someone new. I didn't expect I'd catch her on camera today."
As she spoke, she sent the photos she took to Li Xiao.
"Brother Li Xiao, you're still obsessed with a woman like this?"
Li Xiao had been waiting in the West District girls' dormitory for three days but hadn't seen Chen Ci. Today, he happened to go home and unexpectedly received a photo like this.
In the photo, Chen Ci was wearing a black dress, with almost half of her fair back exposed, which created a strong visual impact with the black on her body. The unrestrained beauty made Li Xiao feel dazzling at the same time.
She has always been conservative. She refused to wear black stockings even when I begged her to. But now she dresses so sexily for other men?
"Where is this?"
Li Xiao's fingers were shaking uncontrollably as he typed, his eyes fixed on the photo on the screen, as if he wanted to spit fire.
Li's father and mother at the dinner table noticed something strange about their son and subconsciously looked at each other.
Li's mother asked with concern: "Son, what's wrong with you?"
Li Xiao held the phone in his hand, pretending not to hear what his mother said.
Lin Biqi did not reply immediately after receiving Li Xiao's message. She knew that Brother Li Xiao must be very angry.
But that's not enough, she wants to make Brother Li Xiao impatient and violent, and when his anger reaches its peak, she will make Chen Ci pay!
Li's mother was worried and was about to go forward to show concern, but when Li Xiao didn't get a reply for a long time, she suddenly picked up the wine glass in front of her and smashed it to pieces!
"ah--"
Li's mother screamed in fear, and Li's father then began to scold, "Xiaozi! Why are you going crazy for no reason?"
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry." Li Xiao took a deep breath, trying to suppress the rage in his chest. He sent a message to Lin Biqi again, asking, "Tell me where she is right now, or don't show up in front of me anymore."
Lin Biqi looked at the news with a proud smile on her lips. She could feel Brother Li Xiao's anger through the screen.
She replied calmly: "Huading Starlight Building, top floor V8 Banquet Hall"
