Professional Body Double

Chapter 23

The next day, Zhou Xiang went to the company to find Cai Wei. To his surprise, Chief Wang, who only came to the company once in a blue moon, was there too.

    Zhou Xiang thought that the situation must be very grave and was extremely nervous.

    Chief Wang saw his expression and knew what he was thinking. After he slowly drank some tea, he said, "Relax, everything’s alright now."

    The weight on Zhou Xiang’s mind was immediately lifted.

    "After Cai Wei told me the situation yesterday, I gave Wang Yudong a phone call. Director Wang is an elder, his personality can't be changed. Although that old man is unreasonable at times, his talent is real. Wang Yudong shouldn’t bother arguing with him. I talked to Wang Yudong for long time yesterday. He said that he'll go to apologise to Director Wang in a few days’ time. I got another investor to talk to Director Wang. That take won’t be in the movie, so you don't need to worry."

    Zhou Xiang said with a strained smile, "I was so nervous. I'm just a little, little stuntman, I really can't afford to offend anyone."

    Chief Wang smiled too, "Those two troublemakers, let's pray that the movie finishes filming without delay so I can smoothly get back my money, and that there won't be any more hiccups. Keep a close watch at the set, if anything happens, report to me immediately."

    "I got it."

    "Hey, Cai Wei told me that you're living with your little boyfriend? Is it serious this time?"

    Zhou Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Wei'ge, I've noticed that even since you got married, your tongue has gotten more and more loose, Sister-in-law must be feeding you really well."

    Cai Wei scoffed, "Don't freaking mock me, isn't this a good thing? You've been drifting along by yourself for so many years. Don't you want to find true love too? Am I not allowed to be happy for you?"

    Director Wang nodded, "I've been away for too long, I feel detached from the modern world. You're allowed to bring family members at the annual dinner, bring him with you to join in with the fun."

    "That's over a month away. I'll think about it when the time comes." Zhou Xiang felt that as Yan Mingxiu didn't like coming in contact with people, he probably wouldn't want to come.

    Chief Wang raised an eyebrow. "Why can’t you let us see him? I just wanted to see how a person who even Cai Wei, who is an entertainment agent who has seen all types of people before, says is handsome to the point of no return, would look like."

    Zhou Xiang let out a sigh. "Director Wang, he truly doesn't want to become a celebrity. You two should just give up." What these two old foxes were thinking was completely written on their faces.

    Cai Wei shrugged his shoulders. "What a shame. After seeing his face, when I look at myself in the mirror, I feel that life is really sorrowful."

    Thinking about how he currently had Yan Mingxiu all to himself, Zhou Xiang couldn’t help but feel fortunate and proud.

    Two days later, Zhou Xiang went to the studio again. For the first time, Wang Yudong was there before him and already getting his makeup applied.

    Zhou Xiang walked over nervously and respectfully greeted, "Dong'ge."

    Wang Yudong aimed a glance at him through the mirror and smiled, "You're here." He then scrutinised Zhou Xiang from head to toe. The expression in his eyes was really blunt.

    Zhou Xiang felt cold air drilling up through him from the soles of his feet.

    He uneasily headed towards the makeup station on the side. Mi You looked at him with a face of concern.
