Rebirth: Professional Substitute

Chapter 23 - Tension On the Set

The next day, ZhouXiang went to the company to find CaiWei. He didn't expect that President Wang, who is rarely ever in the company to actually be there.

ZhouXiang thought that the matter was very serious so he was particularly nervous.

President Wang knew what he was thinking just by looking at him. He slowly took a sip of his tea, "Don't be so nervous, it's okay."

ZhouXiang felt the weight lifted from his shoulders. President Wang is a reliable person. If he said everything is okay, then it must be okay.

"After CaiWei told me yesterday, I gave WangYuDong a call. Director Wang is more than thirty years older than him and is his senior. His temper can't be changed. Although this old man is sometimes unreasonable, he's really a talent. WangYuDong should give him some level of respect. I've talked to him for a long time yesterday. He said that he would apologize to Director Wang in a few days. On Director Wang's side, I've asked another investor to talk to him. I talked to him for a long time yesterday so you don't have to worry."

ZhouXiang forcefully smiled, "Got me so worried, I'm just a minor stuntman. I really can't afford to offend anyone."

President Wang also smiled, "They're just messing around. I'm praying that this is the end of this so that I can smoothly get my money (profits) back and not have any more setbacks. Help me watch them closely on the set. If anything happens, immediately notify me."

"Got it."

"Hey, CaiWei said that you're living with your little boyfriend? How's it coming along? Is this really serious?"

ZhouXiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Wei Ge, I've realized that since you got married, your mouth is getting more and more loose. Sister-in law has fed you very well."

CaiWei scoldingly smiled, "Don't fucking bully me. Isn't this a good thing? Your ass had been staggering along for so many years. Don't you also want to find true love? Can't I just be happy for you?"

President Wang nodded, "That's right. I haven't been back for so long. I feel that I'm out of sync with the modern lifestyles. The company's annual meeting permits family members to attend. Bring him along."

"That is still more than a month away. We'll talk about it then," ZhouXiang felt that YanMingXiu's personality is one that doesn't like to interact with people so it's likely that he won't be willing to attend.

President Wang raised his eyebrows, "What's the deal with seeing him? I just want to see how this person looks; this keen star manager here, CaiWei, highly praises his beauty."

ZhouXiang sighed, "President Wang, he really doesn't want to be a star. You might as well give up." What the two wily old foxes are thinking is clearly written on their faces.

CaiWei shrugged his shoulders, "Such a pity. Seeing his face and then looking at my own face, I feel that life is really too sad."

ZhouXiang felt a bit proud, thinking that he has YanMingXiu to himself. He felt that he is extremely lucky.

He went to the set again two days later. WangYuDong arrived before him and was already getting his make-up done.

ZhouXiang walked over apprehensively and respectfully addressed, "Dong Ge."

WangYuDong glanced at him from the mirror and smiled, "You're here." After saying that, he looked at him, assessing him up from head to toes, his expression very piercing.

ZhouXiang felt the chilling air rising from the soles of his feet.

He uncomfortably went to the make-up table on the side. MiYou looked at him anxiously.
