Chapter 1256: Chapter 1255: Meeting at the Hotel 2
"Sister Xia Shi, could you help me get in touch with Director Zhai En?"
Xia Weibao asked, since Zhai En had previously reached out to her, indicating he saw potential in her.
As for why Qiao Yuchu was able to snatch the role, she wasn’t sure.
However, based on her understanding of Zhai En, he is someone who pursues perfection in films.
She was confident that she could win this role back!
Xia Shi’s expression seemed off; she suddenly sighed, as if making a decision.
"I’ll go. Don’t worry, I’ll help you secure that role."
This matter, no one else but her would be effective.
Finally, was it time to meet?
After saying this, Xia Shi had already turned and left.
Leaving Xia Weibao and Leng Yan bewildered.
Leng Yan clicked his tongue against his cheek, "Why do I feel like Xia Shi has something on her mind."
Xia Weibao nodded, "I noticed that too."
Leng Yan continued, "Also, isn’t Qiao Yuchu targeting you? Then what’s the point of Xia Shi going to see Director Zhai En?"
Suddenly thinking of something, he looked at Xu Jiayang, "Xu Jiayang, aren’t you friends with Zhai En? Can you talk to him?"
The opportunity for a Hollywood blockbuster to feature a Chinese female lead is rare; this might be the only chance.
If not seized properly, you won’t get this opportunity again.
Xu Jiayang glanced in the direction of the door, his voice calm, "It won’t help if I talk to him."
"Why?" Leng Yan was puzzled.
It was said that when Xu Jiayang won the Oscar for Best Director, he stayed up drinking all night with Zhai En; with such friendship, it wouldn’t help?
Xu Jiayang couldn’t be bothered to explain.
Who Qiao Yuchu had issues with, he wasn’t sure; maybe it was Xia Weibao, maybe Xia Shi.
But the reason Zhai En would change the female lead at the last minute was definitely because of Xia Shi!
Some things, even as a friend, he couldn’t intervene in.
Xia Weibao wasn’t at ease; she felt Xia Shi had something on her mind.
Unable to dismiss the feeling, she called Xia Shi, wanting to accompany her to meet Zhai En.
However, she was rejected by Xia Shi, who told her to focus on the script and not worry about other matters.
Xia Weibao was helpless since Director Zhai En had always been in contact through Xia Shi, and she didn’t have his contact information.
Returning home that evening, Lu Hualiang noticed she was downcast and gently checked her forehead, "You’re not sick, so why the long face?"
Xia Weibao sighed, "My agent, I always feel like she’s troubled, but she won’t tell me."
Since that time Xia Shi saved her by blocking sulfuric acid with her own body, she had always considered Xia Shi a true friend.
But now, with Xia Shi clearly having issues and her unable to help, it made her feel very frustrated.
Lu Hualiang furrowed his brow slightly, "Xia Shi?"
"Yes, you still remember her?"
Suddenly remembering, when she switched agents, Lu Hualiang had mentioned that Xia Shi was the most suitable agent for her, which meant he knew Xia Shi?
"I have a good memory," Lu Hualiang replied impassively.
"Honey, did you know Sister Xia Shi before?"
"I didn’t know her, but I’ve heard of her."
That woman once acted as a spokesperson for Lu Corporation.
Feeling melancholic, Xia Weibao recounted the events of the past few days.
She knew Lu Hualiang didn’t follow the entertainment circle, but she wanted to share her career with him.
Upon hearing she was being bullied, Director Lu almost couldn’t resist stepping in to help.
But ultimately, he held back, thinking she’d be better off having something to do than dabbling in medicine aimlessly every day.
