Chapter 71 - 71 Questioning
71 Questioning
Behind them, an actress from the same production team, Liu Bei, was hiding behind the crowd. She looked at Ji Jun’s departing figure with longing in her eyes. Her mother’s sharp and slightly hoarse voice came from the phone. “Beibei, you can only succeed this time. You can’t fail, understand?”
Liu Bei only retracted her gaze when Ji Jun’s huge van left the set. She replied softly, “I understand.” Then, she got into her van and followed Ji Jun.
“I’ve already asked around. Old Master Ji is the most traditional person. Although he couldn’t deny his grandson’s wishes and allowed him to develop in the entertainment industry, he didn’t allow his grandson to cause scandals to affect the Ji Family’s reputation. This is the reason why Ji Jun has to keep his nose clean after entering the industry for so many years.”
Mrs. Liu planned for her daughter. “So no matter what you think of, you have to try your best to get involved with Ji Jun. It’s best if you can get something on him to threaten him. This way, Old Master Ji will grit his teeth and agree to our request for the sake of the Ji Family’s reputation and his precious grandson, Ji Jun.”
Liu Bei looked at the car in front of her with a dark expression. “Mom, I understand. I’ll think of a way.”
Mrs. Liu couldn’t help but cry. “Baby, it’s been hard on you. If it weren’t for your bastard father, I wouldn’t have pushed you out.”
“Mom, I’m not aggrieved. I’m very happy to be able to contribute to the family and help you.” Liu Bei comforted her mother verbally. However, she thought inwardly that she would not feel aggrieved because this person was Ji Jun, the man she dreamed of getting. Instead, she wanted to facilitate this matter wholeheartedly.
Recently, the Liu Family’s company was facing bankruptcy. Her father believed his mistress’s idea and wanted to marry her to an old man in his fifties in exchange for the other party’s cooperation to save the company. Liu Bei did not want to be controlled by her scumbag father, let alone marry an old man. Even if she had to sacrifice herself for the Liu Family, she had to find a better partner.
Hence, Liu Bei immediately targeted Ji Jun. He was the person she loved and was from the famous Ji Family. Hence, as long as she hooked up with Ji Jun, the Liu Family’s crisis would be easily resolved.
In Liu Bei’s opinion, there was no man who did not like beautiful women, and she was a beautiful woman. Therefore, she had never thought that Ji Jun would not like her. Her thoughts were the same as Mrs. Liu’s. They thought that Ji Jun did not dare to mess around outside because he was afraid of making Old Master Ji angry and ruining his acting career.
In order to break through this barrier, Liu Bei had no choice but to use some methods to achieve her goal. Today was the best opportunity for her to carry out her plan.
She made a call first and then instructed her assistant to follow Ji Jun closely. “Don’t lose him.”
Ji Jun did not know that he was about to be schemed against. He suppressed his anger and returned to the hotel suite arranged by the production team. He lay on the sofa and tossed and turned, not knowing how he lost to Su Long.
After thinking about it, he could not help but call Yu Han.
“What’s with the investment you mentioned just now?” Ji Jun found a legitimate excuse. “I’m suddenly interested again. You can tell me about it.”
Yu Han, who was still feeling depressed about going to school, immediately perked up when she received the call. She told him everything from beginning to end and emphasized again at the end, “Although this film is only a youthful school film, Director Bai’s script is really not bad. I can send it to you.”
Ji Jun did not care about this script. He only cared about the male lead, Su Long. Hence, he casually brushed her off when he heard Yu Han’s words. Then, he went straight to the point and asked, “Why does the male actor in your movie look so thin and weak? Does he fit the persona? Could it be that he was stuffed in by someone with connections?”
“Are you talking about Su Long? Director Bai took a fancy to him at first glance. I heard that his acting skills are not bad.”
Upon hearing that the director had taken a fancy to him, Ji Jun’s furrowed brows relaxed unconsciously. “What about you? What’s your impression of him?” This question was a little straightforward. In order to avoid Yu Han’s misunderstanding, he specially added, “After all, he’s the first male lead of the drama. I have to know if he’s reliable first.”
Yu Han did not think too much about it. “He’s quite good. He looks a little shy, but he’s quite good at talking and doing things. If nothing goes wrong, he’ll do well in the industry in the future.” What Yu Han said was indeed the truth.
Ji Jun wanted to ask her again. If he was quite good, what was good about him?
There was suddenly a knock on the door.
