Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2262 - 2262 Twins



2262 Twins

“Which company is this artiste from?” someone asked quietly, very curious about Shen Mubei’s identity.

“Artiste? He’s the investor of this movie. He’s not on the same level as us.”

Hearing this, someone actually felt relieved. “That’s good, that’s good!”

If they fought with such an artiste for the male lead role, everyone else would be done for.

After Shen Mubei entered the backstage area, his assistant said in a low voice, “President Shen, Miss Zhao is waiting for you in the dressing room.”

“Got it.” After Shen Mubei took a call, he slowly walked toward the dressing room.

Zhao Xinshu, who was putting on makeup, was also an artiste. In the past few years, because of the investment behind her, her career in the entertainment industry had been smooth sailing.

Seeing Shen Mubei walk in, she immediately stood up and said, “Mubei!”

“Are you done with your makeup?” Shen Mubei asked. His tone was a little low and gentle. It was obvious that he indulged her.

“Yes, I’ve already put on makeup. I even met the director and producer just now. It’s a pity that you didn’t come. Otherwise, I would’ve heard them sing praises for me.” Zhao Xinshu’s attitude in front of him was gentle and generous. When she spoke, her tone was interspersed with unconscious coquettishness.

“What did they say?” Shen Mubei casually found a chair and sat down. His long legs were casually stretched out, and his bold sitting posture made him look even more charming.

“They said…” Zhao Xinshu thought for a while before saying, “Is it alright if I don’t agree with their thoughts?”

She bent down and squatted in front of Shen Mubei, playing with the brooch on his chest. “Can you give this to me? I like it so much.”

“No.” Shen Mubei refused without hesitation.

Zhao Xinshu: “…”

Shen Mubei would never reject her request for a trinket like this. An item like this was not that valuable, so why would he reject her?

“Let’s get down to business,” Shen Mubei reminded.

He looked like he was about to get angry.

Zhao Xinshu didn’t dare to dawdle anymore. She said, “The director and producer told me to act as the second female lead. I just don’t agree. I’ve always been preparing for the female lead role. Why are they rejecting all my efforts?”

When Shen Mubei heard her words, he looked up at her steadily.

Zhao Xinshu’s voice unknowingly softened. “I just think that the director and producer should consider my opinion… It’s not my first time filming a movie, and my acting skills have been recognized, so…”

“Do you think you can be the female lead even when the director and producer don’t think it’s suitable?” Shen Mubei asked lazily.

Zhao Xinshu felt guilty under his gaze. “That’s not what I meant…”

“Then what do you mean by telling me that?”

Zhao Xinshu: “…”

That was indeed what she meant just now. She wanted to act as the female lead, but under Shen Mubei’s gaze, she did not dare to voice out anymore.

“Huh?” Shen Mubei raised his eyebrows and questioned lazily.

“I don’t mean anything. I’m just relaying the director and producer’s wishes. I have no problem being the second female lead.”

“Then it’s settled. Let’s get them to sign the contract.”

Zhao Xinshu: “…”

She had planned in her heart for a long time, but this was still the outcome. She could not calm down, but she did not dare to flare up in front of Shen Mubei.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first.” Shen Mubei stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked out.

Zhao Xinshu sat back in her chair dejectedly. Her manager quickly said, “Actually, the second female lead is quite good. The image of the second female lead in this movie isn’t too bad.”

“But how can it compare to the female lead? I’ve been aiming for the female lead role from the beginning”

“Think about it. Isn’t it good for President Shen to be so businesslike to everyone? Seeing as he even treats you like this, what more outsiders? We should be at ease.”

The manager’s words comforted Zhao Xinshu. She nodded and said, “Indeed, Mubei has invested in so many movies, but he has never had anything to do with any female artistes. It’s indeed reassuring. I should indeed be satisfied with such a boyfriend.”

But why did she always feel like she owed him?

She knew better than anyone else that in front of Shen Mubei, she was not a normal person at all. She could not express her emotions and could only show them according to his emotions.

She suddenly thought of something and asked, “Have you found out what I asked you to find out before? Who gave the brooch Mu Bei is wearing?”

“I’ve already asked President Shen’s assistant. President Shen’s brooch is a gift from a jewelry company. It’s Lu Wenhui’s jewelry company. Every year, the Shen family orders their jewelry from President Lu. President Lu will give President Shen a lot of jewelry in return. It’s normal.”

“That’s not right.” Zhao Xinshu shook her head and said, “Mubei rarely wears these things. Even when he attends important events, he’s dressed very simply. Why would he suddenly put on a brooch? Perhaps it was given to him by a seductress! Didn’t you see that he couldn’t bear to give it to me?”

“No way… Which seductress could get close to him?”

At the event location of the audition.

The director and several producers had already entered the event location.

Seeing Shen Mubei appear, everyone stood up and greeted him.

Shen Mubei pressed his palm down, indicating for everyone to do their own things and not worry about him.

He walked to the last row, chose a seat, and sat down, leaning against the back of the chair.

The director and the others also knew Shen Mubei’s temperament. Although he would occasionally come to take a look, he would never interfere in specific matters.

He had recommended Zhao Xinshu, and her qualifications were not bad. After everyone agreed, they felt that she was very suitable for the second female lead role. Shen Mubei did not have any objections.

To be able to meet such an investor, the producers and director felt that Lady Luck was on their side.

The audition officially began.

The audition was divided into two. One group was responsible for auditioning minor roles. The casting director and assistant director were the ones overseeing it.

Shen Mubei was in the venue where the executive director, camera director, and producers were. They were screening the main roles.

Qiao Weiyang sat outside and watched people go in and out.

“Qiao Weiyang.”

When she heard her name, Qiao Weiyang stood up and walked in.

She saw Shen Mubei sitting in the back row. It was not that she was keeping an eye out for him, but Shen Mubei was indeed too outstanding. He was too conspicuous sitting there.
