Chapter 58: 057 Entertainment Circle Superstar Returns (2)

In the original plot, it was around this time that Qi Zihua, to protect Sang Xue, made Ye Shaohua the scapegoat. However, Shaohua naively stepped into his trap, and stayed loyal until death.

In her last life, even Qi Zihua didn’t know whether she truly loved him.

Such a pitiful lady.

Ye Family’s villa.

Ye Shaohua lowered her eyes slightly, half-reclining on the sofa while sipping lemon water, her whole being exuding an effortlessly graceful air, which captured the servant’s gaze and wouldn’t let go.

It always seemed that the lady had become even more beautiful; how could it be?

“My good daughter!” The middle-aged bald man sitting to her left, with a gold necklace thick as a pinky finger around his neck, smiled affectionately, “I’ve found you a very good role.”

This was her father, a coal-mining nouveau riche.

Countless posts online mocked her father’s vulgar attire, as if he couldn’t wait to wear gold all over his body.

However, Shaohua didn’t find anything amiss. She looked at her father in this world with a beaming smile, “What role did dad find for me?”

Being an only child, her parents could be said to dote on her extremely, offering her the best of everything.

Knowing she liked the entertainment circle, her father secretly poured money into it for her, which caused a series of misunderstandings among netizens—all of which Shaohua was well aware of.

But Shaohua didn’t stop him, as she really couldn’t refuse this kind of care.

Under such circumstances, it was quite an accomplishment that the original person hadn’t gone astray.

“A film by Director Zhou?” Shaohua thought he had again spent money for a small role for her, but what she got instead was a script by the virtually retired international filmmaker Director Zhou.

Even she could hardly believe it.

Director Zhou’s films were essentially aimed at international awards. Apart from the films themselves, each of his movies was a box office harvester; being part of his works meant fame and fortune for lead and supporting actors alike, and skyrocketing careers were not uncommon.

“Dad, you haven’t been swindled, have you?” Shaohua tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her brows slightly raised in disbelief.

“How could your dad deceive you,” Ye’s father waved his hand, his eyes crinkling with a laugh, “I originally planned to splash money for that ‘Too Late to Say I Love You’ drama crew, but I just happened to meet Zhou. He’s an old friend dad met years ago in another city. Back then, he ran into some trouble, and dad helped him out. He gave me a business card I didn’t even know where I put it, and it turns out he’s the famous Director Zhou!”

Seeing his demeanor, Shaohua suddenly felt that perhaps this was what they called ‘a fool’s luck’.

The next day was also the first day of the shooting for “Jianghu” with Sang Xue.

“Hurry up, or you’ll miss Xuexue’s opening ceremony.” Qi Zihua, who had come down from the elevator, saw Shaohua’s sluggish behavior and ordered impatiently.

Because of those gangsters, he dared not get too close to Sang Xue, not wanting to involve her in any trouble.

Shaohua, buttoning up her coat at an unhurried pace, checked the text from her father and said indifferently, “My dad got me an audition, and I’ve already told Xuexue I wouldn’t be going.”

“You’re not going to Xuexue’s first day of shooting?” Hearing this, Qi Zihua paused briefly, glancing at Shaohua’s expensive outfit.

Then thinking about the plain meals Sang Xue ate every day, and her father’s gauche display of handing out checks adorned with gold, Qi Zihua sneered, “Well, if you’re not going, never mind!”

What kind of audition could Shaohua, who hadn’t studied acting at all in college, possibly attend?

He got in the car, slammed the door with a “bang,” and drove away.

Ye Shaohua, along with her assistant, arrived at Director Zhou’s audition site.

It wasn’t that she didn’t have an agent; it’s just that she and Sang Xue shared one, and at the moment, the agent was with Sang Xue at the “Jianghu” filming location. The agent hadn’t paid much attention to the fact she was going for an audition.

There wasn’t much news on Weibo about Director Zhou’s film; it seemed to be a secret project, and few knew the accurate details.

“You’re Ye Shaohua? Old Ye’s daughter?” Director Zhou, upon seeing Shaohua, was very amiable, but upon seeing her face, he seemed incredulous.

Could Old Ye, as coarse as he was, possibly have such a fine daughter? Truthfully, it was hard to believe.

“Director Zhou, this is Ye Shaohua…” Director Zhou, semi-retired, didn’t keep up much with entertainment circle affairs, but the assistant director beside him knew. He whispered, “Because of unspoken rules… her reputation isn’t good in the circle.”

He also frowned slightly, thinking that Shaohua really had some connections to have received an audition for Director Zhou’s film, a place where even first-line stars struggled to attend.
