Rebirth: Professional Substitute

Chapter 97 - I Will Give You The Best

Following behind WangYuDong is also TanYin, whom he had not seen for a long time. TanYin was also very surprised in seeing ZhouXiang but his expression soon turned to one that is indescribably complicated.

The few people looked at each other stiffly. The atmosphere is very awkward.

President Zhang looked back a forth a few times and smiled, "What's the matter?"

WangYuDong revealed an elegant smile, "It's nothing. I just haven't seen MingXiu for a long time. This is such a coincidence." His phrase 'Such a coincidence' didn't come off as very sincere.

He didn't think that YanMingXiu's so-called matters actually involve ZhouXiang. The name 'ZhouXiang' is practically his nemesis. It was before and it is now. Everything related to the two characters 'Zhou-Xiang' is almost all bad luck. He couldn't help but suspect that YanMingXiu had a purpose in bringing ZhouXiang here. Even if it was him, he had to put in a lot of effort to discuss with this studio on any collaboration, and still, it is not always possible for there to be a suitable script. After all, the studio picks the artist; he also had to pick the script. However, YanMingXiu actually led ZhouXiang to the president's office; seemingly their discussion is going very well.

For a newcomer who is not famous like ZhouXiang, it's actually easier to find a suitable role as compared to him (WangYuDong). If YanMingXiu were to also assist in promoting him (ZhouXiang), then ZhouXiang could very likely get a role that even he himself might not be able to get. When he thought of his own stuntman upstaging him, he can't help but think of the ZhouXiang from three years ago. That ZhouXiang was also his stuntman. He also wanted to take over his role as lead. All of this, everything is all too familiar, so familiar that he also felt the same sense of crisis and disgust with this ZhouXiang.

ZhouXiang didn't look at these two people in front of him pleasantly. After the incident in Guizhou last time, he didn't even bother to give face to WangYuDong and TanYin. After all, trying to be nice to them is a joke. Why bother to waste the energy so he simply looked at them expressionlessly. His cold attitude in WangYuDong and TanYin's eyes exuded 'conceit' from someone's good grace." They felt that ever since ZhouXiang got himself involved with YanMingXiu, he's not at all the same from before.

WangYuDong gloomily glanced at ZhouXiang and asked even though he already knew, "Isn't this ZhouXiang? Why are you here?"

ZhouXiang faintly responded, "Came with President Yan."

"MingXiu, you said that you had some matters this afternoon. So it was his matters?" WangYuDong's tone is full of disdain.

YanMingXiu responded calmly and assuredly, "Yes, brother-in-law, we've arranged to meet in the company tomorrow meeting. You and President Zhang have matters to discuss, you guys go ahead first. President Zhang, we'll see you later." After saying that, he led ZhouXiang and JiangYuan away.

In his impression, YanMingXiu rarely ever addressed him as "brother-in-law" unless they are at home. To hear him say "brother-in-law," he didn't' know why it made him feel full of unfamiliarity. He absentmindedly doubted whether the teenager of the past who use to call him "DongGe" with glimmering eyes of adoration actually existed. Who really is this gloomy, indifferent, and imposingly threatening man? He blurted out, "Wait a minute," suppressing his anger, he sneered, "MingXiu, I'm also looking for you with some urgent matters. Since this is such a coincidence, why don't we invite President Zhang for dinner? Then afterwards, we can find a place to chat. Isn't this a better arrangement? That way, I don't have to make another trip in the morning." He was in the way of the door so it was impossible for YanMingXiu to get out.

President Zhang noticed the tensed atmosphere so he quickly voiced, "I'm going to go to the restroom, Xiao Wan, take our guests to the conference room. I'll be there shortly." After saying that, he led his people away, having no intention to get involved.
