Chapter 585: Defeated by Him
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What Xia Bo did not expect was that Yu Su’s studio would really be willing to accept him.
Two days later, the list of actors for the television drama was announced, and the second male lead role was obtained by Xia Bo.
The Yu Corporation’s artiste, An Ming, was furious. He walked around the dressing room. “During the audition, Director Huang clearly thought highly of me. Why did he give the role to Xia Bo? Damn Xia Bo, he came out to cause trouble again!”
His manager, Chang Ji, frowned. “Don’t be anxious. I’ll call Director Huang. There might be a mistake.”
He was panicking. His intuition told him that there was nothing wrong, but something had happened.
“Then why aren’t you making the call?” An Ming glared at him and said angrily.
Xia Bo had been defeated by him. What right did he have to get the role of the second male lead?
Losing the role was not important. What was important was losing face in front of Xia Bo.
Back then, when he first arrived at the Yu Corporation, Xia Bo was nurtured as a popular male star of the Yu Corporation. In the end, didn’t he pull Xia Bo down successfully?
Chang Ji made a call. As they chatted, his expression became increasingly worse. In the end, he hung up angrily.
“Damn Huang Zhong! How dare he go back on his word!” Chang Ji gritted his teeth.
An Ming asked anxiously, “What exactly did he say? Could it be that he really chose that idiot Xia Bo over me?”
Chang Ji’s expression darkened. “Huang Zhong said that he had already decided to let Xia Bo be the second male lead. He asked if we were willing to act as the third male lead, but I rejected him.”
According to his status, An Ming had acted in several dramas. No matter what, he was still the second male lead. How could he act as the third male lead? Wasn’t this trampling An Ming’s face on the ground?
“He went too far!” An Ming clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red with anger.
He often acted in movies. This drama was one of his attempts to advance into the television drama industry. In the end, Xia Bo beat him to it. How could he accept this?
Chang Ji said hatefully, “I think Xia Bo’s luck has improved after he hooked up with Yu Su’s studio. I don’t know what means Yu Su used to win Director Huang over.”
He said the words ‘what means’ very ambiguously.
The meaning of this sentence was that Yu Su had relied on erotic transactions to get the role. Of course, gentlemen like them could not compare.
Most importantly, Chang Ji did not dare to take revenge on Yu Su openly.
After all, Yu Su also had a deep relationship with the Yu family. If the Yu family found out that they were dealing with Yu Su, it would not be easy to clean up the mess.
This was also the reason why Chang Ji felt aggrieved.
Even Yu Hong, the young master of the Yu family, was excluded by the Yu Media Group and was not allowed to come into contact with core work. What could a small manager like him do about Yu Su?
Envy and hatred flashed in An Ming’s eyes as he said indignantly, “I wonder what Yu Su sees in Xia Bo that she would go to such lengths for him. Xia Bo is really good at scheming.”
He had just left the Yu Corporation and had coaxed the daughter of the Yu Corporation well. Xia Bo was much better than him.
Chang Ji nodded. As the top manager of the Yu Corporation, he naturally knew how rich Yu Su’s studio was in resources.
Not only was Yu Su a popular female celebrity, but she also had excellent managerial skills. She had made the studio prosperous, and even outsiders admired her.
Chang Ji said, “Don’t look at Xia Bo anymore. Focus on yourself. With Xia Bo’s bad character, he will be eliminated by this industry sooner or later.”
He still thought more highly of An Ming. Not only was An Ming young, but he also knew how to speak. His figure was also excellent, and his face was one of the best in the entire Yu Corporation.
An Ming pursed his lips and crossed his arms. “Alright, I’ll let him off. I’ll wait to see him make a fool of himself in the future. Perhaps Yu Su will hate him too. At that time, he’ll really be at his wits’ end.”
Chang Ji nodded. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and looked shocked. “An Ming, do you think the bad luck on Yu Miao had passed on to you?”
Could it be because of Yu Miao that An Ming lost the role that he was originally 90% sure of?
“What?” An Ming was also shocked and did not dare to move.
In the past, Chang Ji was Xia Bo’s manager. At that time, Xia Bo was quite popular, and Chang Ji was also in the limelight.
Later on, An Ming mingled with the daughter of the Yu family, Yu Miao, and his status in the company rose. Privately, Chang Ji was very envious.
Chang Ji thought that if he signed An Ming, the daughter of the Yu family would think highly of him and raise his status in the Yu family..
