Qi Le An didn’t expect to see Chu Cheng Yuan when he met the director of “The Disguiser”.

The moment he saw Chu Cheng Yuan, he just stood transfixed with shock. It wasn’t until Chen Shan tapped him on the shoulder did he reach out his hand to shake Director Yang’s hand.

Chu Cheng Yuan stood behind Director Yang, acting like he didn’t know Qi Le An.

Yin Yan didn’t seem to know there would be someone else. Director Yang chuckled and introduced, “This is Chu Cheng Yuan from Glory, Xiao Chu. This is Manager Yin.”

Chu Cheng Yuan was much taller than Qi Le An, he looked much mature as well. He wore a plain white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, he looked handsome and approachable, “Hello, nice to meet you, Manager Yin.”

Yin Yan shook hands with Chu Cheng Yuan and said, “Such a handsome young man.”

After the introduction, they started to take a seat.

Qi Le An was terribly upset. ‘What is Chu Cheng Yuan doing here? When did he become an artist in Glory?’

‘It shouldn’t be like this. Did the nightmare I fabricated for him have zero effect on him?’

Qi Le An’s first thought was to enter the system and torment Chu Cheng Yuan.

This thought caused him to spend all his time thinking about how to get some hair from Chu Cheng Yuan, he didn’t even pay attention to the conversation between Yin Yan and Director Yang.

Director Yang asked, ” An? Is everything all right? You don’t seem to have a good appetite.”

Qi Le An screamed in his heart, ‘Would you have a good appetite if you are having lunch with the person who has murdered you?’

“Thank you for asking, Director Yang, nothing serious, it’s just my stomach is a little uncomfortable…” Qi Le An smiled apologetically and served himself a piece of yam.

Hearing that, the production of “The Disguiser” mentioned that they needed to take care of themselves from an early age, one of his best friends had recently died of stomach cancer. With that silence reigned the room, Yin Yan changed the topic to health-enhancing herbal tea, and the atmosphere became lively again.

This wasn’t an official meeting. It was more like a private gathering. Apart from the scriptwriter and director and the producer of “The Disguiser”, only Yin Yan, Qi Le An, Chen Shan, and Chu Cheng Yuan were present.

Chu Cheng Yuan, on the other hand, was there as an artist from Glory.

Qi Le An couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Even though he had taught Chu Cheng Yuan a lesson when he met in film and television city, this scum still managed to enter Glory.

“Jian Jun told me that An is perfect for the part of Li Guang Yan!” said Producer Cui.

Li Guang Yan was the male lead of “The Disguiser”, the young master of the rich family who had thrown himself into the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

As soon as Producer Cui mentioned the drama, the people at the dining table all looked concentrated.

In other TV dramas, casting was usually a game played by all the investors and the producers. But “The Disguiser” was different. The director and producer were all from Sunshine Era. As long as they said you had the part, you could rest assured.

Qi Le An looked at Producer Cui and said obediently, “Li Guang Yan is always giving positive energy. I like this role very much.”

Back in 2012, the word “positive energy” wasn’t a buzzword yet. The moment Qi Le An said that everyone on the table was stunned, Li Jian Jun repeated the word a few times and exclaimed, “Positive energy! What a great word! That indeed is our male lead.”
