While counting the days to her wedding, Su Xiaofei didn't have a choice but to proceed with her schedule as usual. Her mother had taken it upon herself to plan everything for the wedding, and she didn't have the heart to deny Yun Qingrong of her wish.
She didn't want to take away the little joys from her mother, especially now that their time together was already limited. Also, since Yun Qingrong didn't give her the blessing to marry Mo Yuchen in her past life, Su Xiaofei missed the chance to see her mother's excitement for her upcoming marriage.
Su Xiaofei decided to just focus on her work. As the new president of Bluemedia, it was inevitable that her workload would increase with the additional responsibilities she held. Her morning was occupied with meetings, and the afternoons were filled with reading documents and contracts.
Because of her new position, Su Xiaofei also found out that Ye Mingyu was aiming to audition for the film that helped boost her popularity in Su Xiaofei's previous life. If Zhang Lan hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have remembered it.
The timeline for the audition for the film 'Demonville' was right on time. This was one of the highlights of Ye Mingyu's career in Su Xiaofei's past life.
At this, she lowered the document she was reading and momentarily fell silent from Zhang Ling's report. Obviously, she was familiar with the role Zhang Ling had just mentioned.
"Zhang Ling, please call Xiao Rufeng. I think she would be the ideal female lead role for this film." She told her personal assistant after a long silence.
How could she allow Ye Mingyu to succeed this time? No matter what her resolve was when it comes to her mother, the deep-seated hatred and grievances from her previous life cannot be easily forgotten.
"Does this mean you also want her to audition, President Su?" Zhang Ling asked. She wasn't sure about the details regarding the personal grudges her miss had with Ye Mingyu, but it was obvious that the two mutually hated each other for some reason.
"En," Su Xiaofei affirmed. "Not only do I want to annoy my dearest sister to death, but this may pave the way for Xiao Rufeng's career if she manages to get the lead role. I'll personally accompany her on the audition day."
However, what Su Xiaofei didn't know was that Ye Mingyu had a reason for choosing this very same role to audition too. In Ye Mingyu's original timeline, this role was the one that led Su Xiaofei to stardom, making her name known not only in the local entertainment scene, but in the international scene as well.
By auditioning for this role, Ye Mingyu hoped that she would be able to achieve the same popularity and status Su Xiaofei enjoyed in her original life. It was one of the things she coveted since her rebirth.
"I understand, President Su. I will give her a call then." Zhang Ling said, before leaving Su Xiaofei in her sister's company. She couldn't wait to hear Xiao Rufeng's reaction over this news.
She knew that Su Xiaofei was looking for the perfect opportunity for Xiao Rufeng to elevate her status as an actress. This might be the opportunity she was waiting for.
Zhang Lan didn't make any comment on it and kept her silence. Things like this, she would rather leave it to her younger sister.
"Have you received reports about Ye Mingyu's recent movements?" Su Xiaofei suddenly asked the elder Zhang sister.
Zhang Lan was the one who dealt with Su Xiaofei's personal matters and ran errands at times. It was something she couldn't leave to Zhang Ling as she knew how her sister's emotions could easily be provoked and swayed.
"Miss Ye has been visiting her father at the detention center more frequently. I still don't know the reason for her sudden visits, so please allow me some time to dig into it." Zhang Lan replied, feeling a little uncomfortable that she wasn't able to complete her task on time.
If she was directly working for Lu Qingfeng, she would surely receive a word from her superiors. Thankfully, Su Xiaofei wasn't very strict towards her and Zhang Ling. It was then Zhang Lan thought that it might be the reason why she was being complacent with her work recently.
'This won't do.' Zhang Lan thought. She had always been a perfectionist and had never fallen behind. If this bad habit persisted, Zhang Lan feared that she would not only fail Su Xiaofei in the future, but her master as well.
Su Xiaofei tapped her fingertips on the papers she was reading earlier. There was something odd about how Ye Mingyu acted recently. Now that she thought about it, she wasn't even sure what brought Mo Yuchen and Ye Mingyu together in her previous life.
During the birthday banquet at Top Tier Entertainment, even if Mo Yuchen was accompanying Ye Mingyu that night, he was giving her a cold shoulder. It made Su Xiaofei think that Mo Yuchen was being forced to cooperate with Ye Mingyu for some reason.
Was it somehow connected with Ye Mingyu's recent visits with Su Haoran? Su Xiaofei wondered. Why did she feel like she was missing something?
Ye Xing passed away three years ago, and Su Xiaofei thought that this would've caused a great strain between Ye Mingyu and her father. Ye Mingyu wouldn't have ignored Su Haoran and refused to visit him if their relationship was good in the first place.
So what changed? What could have triggered Ye Mingyu's sudden willingness and eagerness to visit Su Haoran?
Su Xiaofei sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose as she tried to push these thoughts away for the meantime.. This wasn't the right time for her to waste time and ponder about Ye Mingyu's motives when she had a ton of workload that needed her attention before she could take a break and marry Lu Qingfeng.
