“Miss Ding, hurry up and look through the scripts. We have to show my brother some results as soon as possible,” Yun Liu commanded.
“Yes, absolutely. I’m already working on it; I have several lead roles suitable for you,” Miss Ding hastily replied.
“Find two scripts with supporting roles for me. I don’t want to get ahead of myself. I want my brother to Imow that I’m willing to be a supporting actress for the benefit of the Yun Corporation,” Yun Liu said coldly.
It took Miss Ding a moment before she understood Yun Liu’s goal and praised, “That’s genius! Yun Liu, you’re so smart! This tactic is truly brilliant!”
Yun Liu’s expression softened a little. Yun Zhang wasn’t a problem; she’d been able to manipulate him since they were young. The main trouble was Yun Nan; that woman was too difficult to deal with. Yun Liu had no idea how to handle her. She was humiliated by Shi Xiu for no reason today because of that woman. It really p*ssed her off!
She didn’t think Yun Nan would be able to wrap Shi Xiu around her finger in such a short time. Shi Xiu was well-known in the socialite circle for her sharp tongue and outspoken nature that didn’t match her cute doll face. Even if she was rude, one look at that deceptive ‘butter won’t melt in her mouth’ expression, and no one could do anything to her. It would feel too much like bullying her otherwise.
Yun Liu didn’t dare to provoke Shi Xiu, so she decided Yun Nan was the easier target. She had to ruin Yun Nan’s reputation to the point that she couldn’t make a comeback!
Shi Nian brought everything that Shi Xiu had bought for Yun Nan back home. Yun Nan was a little dumbfounded when she saw all the clothes. She didn’t know the price of each and every garment, but she knew this brand was expensive. ‘Shi Xiu is such a big spender!’ she inwardly cried.
Shi Nian thought Yun Nan didn’t like the clothes and calmly said, “If they’re not to your taste, you can get Shi Xiu to exchange them.”
Yun Nan sighed and muttered, “No, that’s not it. Shi Xiu has a good eye for fashion. I just feel that these are too expensive.”
‘So she does like them,’ Shi Nian sighed in relief. He told himself that he was relieved for Shi Xiu. “I see no harm in accepting them; a girl can’t have enough clothes. My mom taught Shi Xiu to pick out her own clothes ever since she was young. She went on to study fashion design and is quite happy with it,” Shi Nian remarked.
Speaking of which, Yun Nan recalled that Shi Xiu had been brainwashed by Mika today with talk of being an actress and felt a little guilty. She quickly washed her hands and scooped up a bowl of rice for Shi Nian.
Shi Nian took a bite of the beef salad and praised, “Hmm, it’s delicious.” Seeing that Shi Nian was in a good mood, Yun Nan carefully told him about Shi Xiu’s visit to her studio earlier today.
“I’ve heard,” Shi Nian said with a nod.
“Will the family object if she decides to be an actress?” Yun Nan probed.
Shi Nian paused in the middle of picking up food with his chopsticks. Yun Nan stared at his motionless hand and inwardly sighed, ‘He definitely won’t agree.’
“Why would we object?” Shi Nian put the shredded bamboo shoot into his mouth and chewed it carefully. As expected, it was crisp and tasty. Yun Nan was stunned. “You guys… don’t object to her acting in a film?” “The point is, no one would want her in their movie,” Shi Nian smiled. “Don’t tell me your production team wants her?”
“What if we do?” Yun Nan murmured. Shi Nian considered it for a moment while Yun Nan looked at him nervously.
“That’s her own business. She’s an adult, not a child. She can do as she likes,” Shi Nian stated indifferently.
“However, keep in mind that she is quite obstinate and willful. She’s high-maintenance, and there’s nothing you guys can do if she couldn’t persist. She has never suffered hardships or been bullied; we—the whole family—treat her like a princess. Although she’s a good person by nature, her temper is still very difficult to deal with. She’s good to you and my big sister-in-law because she likes you two. She wouldn’t behave so nicely if it were someone else— someone she dislikes—she’ll turn into a little beast then,” Shi Nian readily revealed.
Yun Nan didn’t expect Shi Nian’s perception of Shi Xiu to be like this. “Really? She doesn’t seem like that kind of person,” she commented.
Shi Nian snorted and said, “Don’t be fooled by her cute face. When she gets bullheaded, even Shi Ke and I can’t do anything about her.”
Yun Nan smiled. Mika was indeed keen-eyed; with her personality, Shi Xiu was quite suited for Xiao Yao’s role. Yun Nan admitted, “I thought you and your family wouldn’t agree to let Shi Xiu act in the film. She’s also very interested in our clothing department. She spent the whole afternoon with the lady in charge of the clothing department and really enjoyed herself. She majors in fashion design which is compatible with what they do there, so I invited her to come over often in the future. It should be helpful for her studies.”
“We met the casting director as we left the clothing department, and Shi Xiu chatted with him for a while. I think she’s tempted to give acting a try. If you and your family don’t approve, I suggest you persuade her off this course as soon as possible,” Yun Nan told Shi Nian her thoughts. After all, Shi Xiu was his sister, and Yun Nan liked Shi Xiu a lot, so she didn’t want this matter to end
unhappily..
