Chapter 751: Suffer A Double Loss
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Three days had passed since the date of Yang Ming’s audition, but he had yet to receive any news that he had won.
“When did Director Zhang’s efficiency become so slow?” Yang Ming called his manager unhappily.
At this moment, he was backstage of the variety show. There was no one in the dressing room, so Yang Ming didn’t speak so restrainedly.
How long had he been waiting?
The manager was silent for a long time. “There’s been no news for so long. I
reckon—”
“Reckon what?” Yang Ming asked.
The manager didn’t say anything else and only sighed. “Finish recording this show first. I’ll tell you the rest when you come back.”
Any news had to go through the manager first before it could be sent to Yang Ming. Now that there was no movement from the other party after so long, and even their contact had decreased, the manager naturally understood.
However, Yang Ming didn’t understand. When he heard his manager’s words, he immediately felt a little unhappy.
“Recording the show is important. This show is an excellent resource for you. I still have something on, so I’ll hang up first.” The manager ended the call.
Yang Ming couldn’t vent the anger in his heart. When he saw the darkened phone screen, he frowned in frustration.
At this moment, the door of the dressing room was pushed open and a person walked in. It was Gu Yan, a person who’s often at odds with Yang Ming.
The dressing room here was a common lounge for guests. Therefore, when Gu
Yan walked in, she didn’t expect to see Yang Ming here. After being stunned for a moment, she didn’t turn around and stayed.
If she left, wouldn’t it show that she was weaker than Yang Ming?
Moreover, when she thought of the news she had seen on the Internet, Gu Yan’s lips curled up even more. She even took the initiative to choose the best seat, not caring about Yang Ming who was still sitting beside her.
“Why is it you?”
When Yang Ming heard someone enter, he didn’t pay attention to it at first.
Then, when he saw that it was Gu Yan sitting beside him, his expression darkened.
It was as if he and Gu Yan were born not to tolerate each other. Every time they met, something would happen.
When Gu Yan heard Yang Ming’s voice, she turned around and looked at him with a very surprised expression, as if she had just seen him here.
“Yo, why didn’t I realize that there was someone secretly sad here?”
Gu Yan said with a smile, her tone a little annoying. “Could it be that someone secretly dropped the little pearls here before recording the show?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Yang Ming frowned.
He had always been irritated by this person, but when he heard Gu Yan say something he didn’t understand, Yang Ming was immediately puzzled.
Gu Yan thought that he was refusing to admit it, so her next words stabbed into his heart.
“Director Zhang’s candidate has already been confirmed. It’s not you.”
Gu Yan spoke happily. Seeing Yang Ming’s sudden change in expression, the smile on her lips widened.
Although the audition this time was for a male character and had nothing to do with her, it didn’t stop Gu Yan from “punching” Yang Ming.
Who asked this person to have a grudge with her from the beginning and cause trouble repeatedly? Not to mention that the two of them had clashed because of resources several times.
•You—” Yang Ming was furious.
Hearing Gu Yan say this, Yang Ming was about to ask where she had received
the news.
However, thinking of his manager’s attitude just now, Yang Ming immediately took out his phone and opened his social media platform. Immediately after, he saw a large number of comments.
“How is it, how is it? Wasn’t it a sure win previously? Now, there’s no movement from any of them?”
“Didn’t they say that it would definitely be Yang Ming? Where is he? Why aren’t you all barking anymore?”
“If you ask me, any of the other candidates are stronger than Yang Ming. Ning Xiunian deserved the opportunity this time. He had endured for so long. He deserved it!”
“Indeed, based on Ning Xiunian’s works in the past few years, he was only lacking the highest honor.”
“I heard that Director Zhang chose Ning Xiunian to play the supporting role in this movie. I’m already looking forward to it.”
“Waiting for the movie to be released and crush the box office.”
“+1.”
“+10,086”
A large number of comments appeared on the screen. Without needing Yang Ming to specially search for them, he could see the post that belonged to Ning Xiunian clearly appear in front of him.
“…” Yang Ming stood up in disbelief.
He wanted to ask his manager!
Didn’t he say that they would definitely choose him?
Yang Ming pushed open the door of the dressing room and was about to look for his manager when he bumped into the staff who had come to look for him.
“Teacher Yang Ming, the program here is ready. You can go on—
Before the staff could finish speaking, he saw Yang Ming walk out arrogantly.
His expression was extremely terrifying.
“I’m not recording anymore!” Yang Ming said angrily.
The role had already been snatched away by someone. Why was he still staying here? Would he go up and let others laugh at him later?
Yang Ming left with a dark expression. The staff stood rooted to the ground after hearing this. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to be so uncooperative.
The main character had left, but the show was already prepared and waiting there. It couldn’t be stopped just like that.
After the staff discussed with the director, the resources that Yang Ming’s manager had fought for for a long time was given to Gu Yan.
If the manager knew that Yang Ming was so impatient and directly wasted the results of his efforts, his blood pressure would probably rise.
Not only was the role gone, but the resources were also given to others. They had suffered a double loss.
No matter what, the good news of Ning Xiunian’s successful interview was worth celebrating for CG.
After all, this was the first person in their company to go to Hollywood. Moreover, everyone had been working overtime more tired recently, so Murong Qiao simply asked Jiang Chi to pick a time to hold a gathering to let everyone relax.
“Just inform me when it’s time.” After Murong Qiao finished speaking, she saw her phone ring. It was a call from her second brother, Murong Zheng.
“Second Brother?” She picked up.
Murong Zheng said bluntly, “Qiaoqiao, I remember that your company is quite close to Tang Huai’s club?”
Murong Qiao had been to the club once before, so she gave an affirmative answer after thinking about the route.
“Tang Huai has a competition today, but he came over for a checkup and forgot to take the medicine…”
Before Murong Zheng could finish speaking, Murong Qiao replied. “I’ll go take
a look.”
Her tone became more serious as she glanced at the pouring rain outside.
The gloomy weather seemed to be able to eat people. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. From time to time, the bright sky was accompanied by the rumbling of lightning, making people worried.
She originally wanted to persuade Tang Huai, but Murong Zheng’s call today reminded her.
-Then I’ll leave it to you, Qiaoqiao. I’ll get someone to send the medicine to your company. I…” The rest of the sentence was unclear.
Murong Qiao only vaguely caught the words “surgery .
There were many accidents on rainy days, and the hospital was extremely busy. Even Murong Zheng, who usually had time to do experiments, couldn’t help but be occupied today. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called his Little Sister. In the end, Murong Zheng hurriedly said a few words, as well as the effect of the medicine, and hung up.
“I’m going out for a while. I’ll leave the company to you.” Murong Qiao gestured at Jiang Chi.
Although Jiang Chi didn’t hear the contents of the call clearly, he could vaguely guess something and nodded in understanding.
Because it was raining, Murong Qiao didn’t drive herself. Instead, she took a taxi to the club.
She had been there once before, so she was very familiar with the path there. This time, she saved on those twists and turns and successfully arrived near the event location.
The sounds of revelry seemed to have decreased slightly on this rainy day, but it didn’t affect Murong Qiao from feeling the enthusiasm of the audience..
