Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

Chapter 842: The Dream Shattered Before It Started

Because it was a female lead movie, the female lead’s lines were almost as many as the other supporting roles combined, including the male lead, Yuan Guang. Although he was the male lead, he was just like the other supporting roles. He was just acting with Ye Zheng.

Therefore, during the entire script reading, everyone listened to Xia Qinghuan recite her lines most of the time.

Jian Yiyi’s anticipation and excitement gradually disappeared with time. Instead, she felt even more unbalanced.

She had long heard from her manager, Dong Jie, that the company chose the female lead for this drama. Although she was a newcomer, the company supported her with all their might and spent all their resources on making this newcomer famous.

Initially, Jian Yiyi thought little of it. Although they were both newcomers and she was a little envious that the other party could get such an opportunity, she signed the contract later. As long as the company saw her potential, they would give her more and better resources.

However, when she learned that the person the company was supporting was Xia Qinghuan, Jian Yiyi could not accept it.

The reason was that Xia Qinghuan was her classmate.

If it was a stranger, she would not feel upset, but it was someone she knew.

Jian Yiyi’s life motto was that she could lose, but not to the people around her, be it friends, classmates, or even family.

She wanted to be the best among everyone she knew.

In the end, before the dream started, it shattered.

“Yiyi, it’s your turn.”

Jian Yiyi was in a daze. She didn’t know where her thoughts were until Wang Mingxiao reminded her in a low voice.

Although she couldn’t accept it in her heart, Jian Yiyi knew how rare this opportunity was and how difficult it was for her to get this role.

Just as Dong Jie had said, the quality of the production team of this movie was there. Anyone who performed normally would become famous.

Jian Yiyi knew that as a newcomer, this starting point was already very high. She had to act.

With this thought in mind, Jian Yiyi picked up the script and read it.

The first round of script reading lasted for over two hours before the actors could rest for twenty minutes. Then, they had to continue.

As soon as they stopped, Chen Jin handed the bottle of water he had prepared to Xia Qinghuan. “Qinghuan, drink some water to moisten your throat.”

“Thank you, Brother Jin.” Xia Qinghuan smiled and took it. As soon as she unscrewed the lid, a refreshing floral fragrance assaulted her face. “It smells so good, Brother Jin. What did you soak in?”

“I just soaked some chrysanthemums,” Chen Jin said.

Xia Qinghuan poured a glass of water with the lid as a cup and took a sip. She felt refreshed and immediately said to Chen Jin, “It’s delicious. Brother Jin, make this in the future. My mouth smells good now as well.”

Seeing that Xia Qinghuan liked it, Chen Jin smiled happily and nodded.

They both had managers by their side, but Jian Yiyi naturally did not receive the same treatment as Xia Qinghuan. Moreover, the assistant was the one who served the tea. However, Chen Jin was worried if someone else came into contact with Qinghuan’s food, so he did these things himself. The assistant also knew and never interfered.

Jian Yiyi’s configuration was relatively simple. Other than Dong Jie, her manager, she did not have an assistant.

“Qinghuan, I saw your advertisement on television yesterday. It was filmed so well.” Yuan Guang sat at the side and smiled at Xia Qinghuan.
