Chapter 155: Buying Her a Gift (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xu Huaning had just finished acting in a scene where she held hands with the male actor. Now, she had a smile on her face and was still reminiscing the warmth in her hand.
When she suddenly heard her assistant say this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She asked softly, “What is she doing here?”
She had acted with Liao Jiake twice before. Both times, she was supporting roles for Liao Jiake. Now that she was finally married, Xu Huanning felt that her chance had come.
This was the first script she had received for a female lead role. It had only been eight episodes, but Liao Jiake had appeared on set.
This was not good news for Xu Huaning.
The assistant: “She happened to be filming a variety show nearby, so she came to see you.”
Xu Huaning sneered. “Is she here to see me or is she interested in my role?”
Outsiders might not know what Liao Jiake was like, but Xu Huanning knew it all too well.
Before she met Liao Jiake, she was still an unpopular female artiste. She did not sign with any management company and had to fight for all the dramas herself.
Originally, there was an online drama that had already decided that Xu Huaning would be the female lead. Two days before filming started, she received a call from the production team saying that they had found a suitable candidate for the female lead and asked her not to come.
At that time, Xu Huaning was young and stubborn. Before the production team started filming, she chased after the director around for an answer for a long time. One time, Liao Jiake happened to be beside her. Seeing that she was so passionate about acting, she asked the director to arrange a role for her.
Just like that, she changed from the female lead to one of Liao Jiake’s best friends.
Knowing that Liao Jiake was still live-streaming, Xu Huanning composed herself and walked over like a spring breeze.
Xu Huanning came to the rest area and gave Liao Jiake a hug when she saw her.
“Ke Ke, I haven’t seen you in a long time. You’ve lost weight.”
Who wasn’t an actor?
Liao Jiake had clearly gained a few kilograms after her marriage, but Xu Huanning was still exchanging pleasantries.
When the director of this drama heard that Liao Jiake was here, he stopped watching the movie that had just been filmed and ran straight to the rest area. He even said that their production team was short of actors and asked her if she was interested in making a guest appearance.
“Can I?” Liao Jiake said uncertainly, “But I haven’t been in the production team for too long. I’m afraid I won’t be able to act well.”
“You’re too humble.” The director was still fighting for an opportunity for himself. “It’s a small role but I hope you don’t mind.”
[Ke Ke just wanted to visit an old friend. I didn’t expect her to get the chance to make a guest appearance. Hahaha.]
[She’s still too humble. She debuted as a child actor. She can be considered a veteran and yet she still says such things.]
[Two beauties together. I really love them.]
The director did not forget to call Xu Huaning over. “Huaning, tell her to stay and help make a guest appearance.”
“…” Xu Huaning almost rolled her eyes.
She was not happy at all. Although she was still the female lead, it was quite unpleasant to have Liao Jiake as a guest actress.
Xu Huaning hesitated for a while before saying against her conscience, “Stay.
Many people here are your fans.”
On the other hand, in order to take a boat and sightsee the streets of the town, Meng Chuyuan went to be a boatman.
The man in charge of the boat in this town looked at Meng Chuyuan’s thin arms and legs. His eyes were filled with deep confusion. “Miss, do you know how to row a boat? You’ll have to exert a lot of strength to move the boat.”
“Boss, I can do it,” Meng Chuyuan said confidently. “If you don’t believe me, let me board the ship. I’ll try rowing the boat around”
Not to be outdone, Lu Jinsen stood up and said, “Boss, if she can’t do it, I can replace her.”
Seeing how persistent she was, the boss finally relented.
He brought Meng Chuyuan to the dock. Coincidentally, a boat had returned.
After the tourists left the boat, the boss called the boatman ashore and asked Meng Chuyuan to take over.
A new batch of tourists quickly bought tickets and boarded the ship. When they saw that the boatman was a young woman, everyone was stunned.
She had a straw hat on her head and her hand on the oar. She suddenly raised her hand and waved, smiling at the tourists on the boat.
Lu Jinsen was acting as a cameraman while Ting Jiu sat on the side of the boat, waiting to set off.
Meng Chuyuan said, “Welcome to this beautiful town. Leave the rest of your itinerary to me. I’ll take everyone to enjoy the scenery and relax.”
The tourists on the ship were quite excited to see them in person. They took photos with their phones.
When Meng Chuyuan first set sail, it took a lot of effort for her to paddle away. The boat moved slowly.
After a while, Meng Chuyuan mastered the boating technique and it finally seemed to be less strenuous to paddle.
Meng Chuyuan looked up and saw that everyone’s eyes were on her. “Don’t look at me. Look at the scenery outside.”
Suddenly, a woman said boldly, “Sister Meng, can you sing a song?”
Meng Chuyuan said, “You’ll have to pay for my singing..”
