Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Second Young Mistress Is Brilliant

“Where did you get those news from? I’m a reporter from the newspaper agency and I don’t even know about it. Did you get duped?”

Yan Jinyi blinked and said, “I’ve seen her before.”

“Who?”

“The second young mistress of the Huo Family.”

“The second young mistress of the Huo Family must be very outstanding, huh?”

‘Otherwise, how could she be married to someone like Mr. Huo!’

She’d had the pleasure of meeting the wife of the first son of the Huo Family once. She was knowledgeable and learned, and had obviously come from a wealthy family. Hence, she reckoned that the second young mistress must be even more brilliant.

Yan Jinyi raised her brow a little and said smugly, “That’s for sure. Second Young Mistress is beautiful, has fair skin, and a great figure. She’s really elegant too. She’s the best woman in this world!”

Tan Sangsang stared at Yan Jinyi for a long time before saying, “Jinyi, you seem to have changed. You dress better now and you’re much more jovial than before.”

Yan Jinyi touched her nose and asked, “Who is the person you’re going to recommend to me?”

Just like that, Yan Jinyi switched the topic. “Oh, his name is Tao Wei. You know about the movie ‘Peaceful Spring’, don’t you? It’s a low-production sleeper hit that won a Golden Bear Award.”

‘Tao Wei?’

‘Sounds familiar.”

However, the original owner did not have a strong impression of that name.

Yan Jinyi resolutely whipped out her mobile phone to search for Tao Wei’s name on the internet.

“Tao Wei has completely faded out of the entertainment industry and is despised by many after bullying actors under the management of Tang Group and offending Tang Group.”

Yan Jinyi’s delicate face turned sullen and she pointed at the screen of her mobile phone. “You’re introducing me to a director whom everyone despises?”

‘Is she really the original owner’s best friend?’

Tan Sangsang nodded sincerely and said, “There’s a reason for that. I understand Director Tao well. Although he has a malicious tongue, he will not randomly alienate or bully the actors. That actress was the one who tried to seduce Director Tao after failing to seduce a senior executive of Tang Group. Director Tao rejected her so she decided to take revenge on him. On top of that, Director Tao’s junior secretly harmed him, causing him to end up in such a state.”

‘Regardless of whether he had been wronged or not, Tao Wei has a bad reputation in the entertainment industry and I’ve finally managed to clear my reputation a little. How can I continue working with him?’

“I often run into Director Tao’s wife and I’ve heard her mention that Director Tao wrote the script and storyline of this new movie during his five-year hiatus. He worked on it everyday without eating or sleeping well. It’s very interesting.”

After hesitating for a while, Yan Jinyi said, “Alright, let me meet him.”

Tan Sangsang took out her cell phone merrily and called him.

After a long time, the call was finally connected and he seemed to have said something that made Tan Sangsang’s expression turn awkward. “Um, Jinyi, Director Tao said that he’s very busy now and he wants you to go see him.”

‘Oh?’

‘He’s just a director who has been boycotted and he has the audacity to put on airs with me, huh?’

‘Who’s the investor!?’

“Jinyi, Director Tao has a candidate for the male lead in mind, and he’s having a discussion with him right now, so…”

“Let’s go.”

‘If he dares to dupe me, I must beat him up!’

The two found Tao Wei in the underground parking lot of an upscale neighborhood.

He was hugging a man’s thigh and begging him sorrowfully. His melancholic voice sounded more sultry than a woman’s.

The man looked extremely charming and seductive, with a pair of eyes that were shaped like peach blossoms and made him look like a womanizer. At this moment, he was staring at Tao Wei in disdain.

“I won’t work with a director who has no fame or a good reputation. Give up!”

“Brother Heng, this role is specially tailored for you. Believe me, this film will certainly become a big hit after it’s produced!”

“I told you, I can take on the role but you have to get Liu Ran to play the female lead.”

Liu Ran was the most popular and the best actress of the new generation of celebrities. Every production that she starred in would guarantee a high viewership and rumor had it that all actors who worked with her would rise to fame.

“Brother Heng, you’re putting me in a spot. I get chased away before I even get to see her in person!”
