Chapter 134 If I can't have it, I'll destroy it
"What...what does this have to do with me?"
Chen Qi had a vague idea of what was going on, and a sense of unease arose in his heart. He felt that the director and producer were watching him, and he was too guilty to look at them.
Seeing his evasive expression, Yun Shu said bluntly, "That child is yours. As for why it's being used as a Kumanthong, you'll have to ask your bed partner."
You'd better persuade her to repent and reform, and find a master to chant scriptures for the Kumanthong to help it pass on to the afterlife. Otherwise, once it starts to turn against you, neither of you will escape its influence.
Chen Qi and Shi Yanni had been having an affair for some time, but he had no idea that Shi Yanni was pregnant with his child and had a miscarriage!
But then he remembered that Shi Yanni had told him that she not only had dirt on him, but also a big surprise waiting for him.
Could this be the big surprise?
This must be shocking!
The more Chen Qi thought about it, the uglier his face became.
Hearing this, the director completely trusted Yun Shu and patted Chen Qi on the shoulder, saying, "You should go back and ask her clearly. This matter could be a matter of life and death for you."
If all else fails, you can find another fortune teller. Anyway, tomorrow's audition will definitely be postponed; I need to go to my grandfather's house.
Chen Qi remained silent with a sullen face.
Meanwhile, the producer pulled Yun Shu aside and said, "Do you think I should go buy a lottery ticket now? With my incredible luck, do you think I can win the jackpot?"
Yun Shu's lips twitched. "Auspicious smoke rising from your ancestral graves will bring you good fortune in your career, but winning the lottery isn't career luck. Judging from your face, you're not destined to win the lottery jackpot in this lifetime."
Producer: "..."
The producer felt like he'd been stabbed in the heart. Yun Shu was such a straightforward girl, just like the female lead in the drama! No wonder Lu Shijing recommended her for the role!
"Well, even if I don't win the lottery, it's good that my business is doing well! I'll go back to my hometown during this time and burn some good things for my ancestors."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shu silently handed him a business card, looking at him sincerely, "Buy mine, my products are better than others."
The producer remembered the live stream she was doing, "Oh right, you also live streamed yourself making paper offerings. So you actually sold those paper offerings?"
"Um!"
The producer asked her, "Aren't you going to the store later? I'll just go with you."
"good."
"Please wait a moment while we finish interviewing the rest of the people."
Yun Shu nodded and went out to wait in the lounge for the producer to finish his work.
It was almost five o'clock.
Their work was finally over. The director and the others came out of the interview room, with Chen Qi walking at the very back, looking a little absent-minded, as if he was lost in thought.
The director came over with the producer. "I'll go with him to your paper offering shop."
After the director finished speaking, the producer pointed at him and said, "Yun Shu, a ritual needs to be performed for the opening ceremony. President Lu wants you to come. You can talk to him about what needs to be prepared."
"Um."
The three of them went to the paper craft shop together.
Chen Qi remained where he was, and when he saw them leave, his expression was somewhat complicated.
He was about to go to the parking lot to get his car when his phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Shi Yanni.
Chen Qi happened to have something to ask this woman, so he answered the phone, "What is it?"
Shi Yanni said unhappily, "Why did I receive a notification that tomorrow's audition was postponed? After the postponement, no new audition date was given. What does this mean? Are they rejecting me? I haven't even gone to the interview yet!"
"no."
Chen Qi explained, "There was a slight accident at the director's home. He's going to his hometown in the south tomorrow and we don't know when he'll be back, so we didn't notify him of the delayed audition."
Shi Yanni sneered, "I already knew from others that the director is a local from Beijing! Don't lie to me, it's obvious you're useless and failed in your job!"
"Why would I lie to you? I'm talking about the director's grandfather's hometown! The roles haven't been decided yet, go ask the other people in the crew if you don't believe me!"
Chen Qi was getting impatient.
Shi Yanni's tone wasn't good either, "I'll ask. If I find out the role has already been decided and I didn't even get a chance to audition, you're dead! Don't forget, I have dirt on you!"
"If I release this dirt on you, your carefully cultivated image over the years will be ruined, and you can forget about ever becoming a director again!"
"you……!"
Chen Qi had been threatened by this woman for some time and had been holding back his anger for a long time.
He thought of what Yun Shu had said, took a deep breath to calm himself down for a moment, and then said, "You know those things will ruin my image, so I have no reason to lie to you. Instead, I want to ask you, are you hiding anything else from me?"
"No."
"Stop pretending, have you ever been pregnant?"
Chen Qi asked directly.
Shi Yanni remained silent for a while, clearly not expecting Chen Qi to know.
But she was surprisingly calm. "We're just using each other. You won't marry me, and I can't marry you. I don't need to tell you everything, do I?"
"This is my child, I have the right to know!" Chen Qi's forehead twitched. "Can't you talk to me first and ask for my opinion?"
"There's no need, the child is already gone."
Shi Yanni hung up the phone, not wanting to continue the conversation with Chen Qi, while Chen Qi planned to secretly go to her house to find out the truth.
If Shi Yanni really did something evil with that child, it could bring disaster upon him. He couldn't let it go! He didn't want to die so young!
Meanwhile, Yun Shu led the director and producer to the shop. The producer was selecting items, and Yun Shu explained to the director what they needed to prepare for the ritual.
While they were still in the store, the director asked Yun Shu for her identity information and bought her a plane ticket. He said he would take her to her maternal grandfather's house in the south the next day.
After buying the plane tickets, the director confirmed with Yun Shu, and then Yun Shu's phone rang. The caller ID showed Lu Shijing.
Yun Shu answered the call without hesitation. Lu Shijing asked her, "How did the audition go?"
"I don't know." Yun Shu scratched her head. "But I found out the director is dead."
Lu Shijing: ?
When Lu Shijing first heard this, he was stunned for a while, but Yun Shu quickly explained that the director's life had been switched and that she would be leaving the capital tomorrow.
After listening, Lu Shijing asked her, "When can you come back?"
"have no idea."
Lu Shijing glanced at his recent work schedule, which wasn't too busy, and said, "Let the director buy me a plane ticket too, and I'll go with you guys."
"ah?"
Now it was Yun Shu's turn to be stunned. She wondered what he was going to do? This had nothing to do with him. Did he want to go and watch the drama unfold?
By the time Yun Shu realized what was happening, Lu Shijing had already hung up the phone, so Yun Shu relayed the message to the director.
director:"……"
Why did he suddenly feel like he was the third wheel?
However, Lu Shijing is the biggest investor in this drama. The director respected him a lot, especially in terms of casting and filming, and even bought him a plane ticket.
The next day, the three of them agreed to meet at the airport entrance and then board the plane together.
The director and Yun Shu arrived at the airport first. Lu Shijing would arrive in a little while, so the two waited for Lu Shijing at the entrance.
While they were waiting for someone, a car stopped in front of them, and a woman wearing a baseball cap and a mask got out of the back seat.
The director initially thought the person was just a passerby rushing to catch a flight and didn't pay much attention. But then the person walked up to him and took off their mask.
"Director Xue, hello! I'm Shi Yanni!"
The director looked at her and thought for a long time before he remembered who she was—the actress Chen Qi had recommended.
Shi Yanni has been in the industry for five or six years and her acting skills are decent, but she has never become very popular and has mostly played supporting roles such as second, third, or fourth female leads.
Because of what Yun Shu said yesterday, the director didn't have a good impression of her and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
"Director, I have always admired you and loved your works, so I hope your new drama can give me a chance. This is a character sketch I wrote for the role."
After speaking politely, Shi Yanni handed the director a folder, which was quite thick.
The director took it and glanced through it, but he couldn't bear to look at it for long because Shi Yanni's understanding of the character was wrong.
The female lead in this supernatural drama has had the ability to see ghosts since childhood. She can see things that others cannot, and she can also see people who are about to die. Others describe her as having a withdrawn and cold personality, liking to insult others, and speaking with a sharp tongue.
But actually, she just doesn't like socializing and speaks too honestly, some of her honesty can be quite hurtful.
Shi Yanni's analysis of the character is that the female protagonist has special abilities since childhood and disdains to communicate with these mediocre people.
The director returned the folder, saying, "Your audition has been delayed. Go back and wait for further notice. Whether you get the role depends on your performance in the audition."
The director phrased it tactfully, but Shi Yanni, having been in the entertainment industry for many years, was adept at reading people and could naturally tell that the director was not very satisfied with her.
She couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Yun Shu.
A while ago, Yun Shu was at the height of her fame. Shi Yanni recognized her at a glance. She had also learned from Chen Qi that Yun Shu had participated in an audition and was recommended by President Lu of Jingchuan Entertainment.
Chen Qi said the director had to go back to his hometown to handle some matters, but why didn't he mention that the director was taking Yun Shu with him?
When the director goes back to his hometown, he even brings Yun Shu along. Their relationship is so close, does that mean the female lead was already predetermined to be Yun Shu?
Thinking of this, a dark glint flashed in Shi Yanni's eyes. She lowered her gaze to hide the jealousy in her eyes. "Thank you, Director. I won't disturb your boarding. I'll go back now."
"Um."
The director reacted coldly.
Shi Yanni turned away somewhat unwillingly and got into the car by the roadside.
Through the car window, she saw the director and Yun Shu turn around and sit in the same direction, seemingly preparing to enter the airport. She then took out her phone and snapped a photo of them.
The photo she took showed the director and Yun Shu walking together, both pulling suitcases, which easily led to misunderstandings about their relationship.
Shi Yanni looked at the photo and sneered, "I've already sacrificed myself, and you didn't even see my audition before deciding not to use me. Don't blame me for using special methods."
Since she can't have it, then no one else should think they can get this opportunity so easily!
