Chapter 91 Getting the Role
"I was thinking of discussing this with you first, considering your relationship with Hongtian Entertainment, but since everyone is here, that would be perfect."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaru's usually gentle face instantly turned frosty.
She glared at Xie Zhenghua, her eyes filled with both reproach and dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Xie Zhenghua quickly looked at his wife ingratiatingly, trying to soothe her emotions with his eyes.
Xie Linxiao, on the other hand, frowned deeply, his eyes revealing a ruthless glint.
He replied in a deep voice, "Chen Yun, I understand about this. Don't worry, I will handle it."
After receiving Mr. Xie's assurance, Chen Yun finally felt relieved. She said a few polite words with gratitude, her voice filled with relief: "Okay, Mr. Xie. Then I won't disturb everyone's meal any longer, I'll hang up now."
As the phone call ended, the restaurant was filled with laughter and chatter once again.
But while the dinner was a joyous occasion for others, for Xie Zhenghua it felt like a bitter medicine that was hard to swallow. Every bite made him feel anxious and unable to eat.
He felt extremely uncomfortable during the meal, as if a huge boulder was pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
As dinner drew to a close, Lin Jiaru's voice, like a cold winter wind, pierced Xie Zhenghua's heart.
"The mess you made back then, now Xiao Xiao has to clean up your mess, even threatening my brother. Xie Zhenghua, you're really something!"
Lin Jiaru's tone was tinged with anger, and every word was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Xie Zhenghua's heart hard.
The words were actually spoken softly, seemingly whispered by Lin Jiaru in Xie Zhenghua's ear, barely audible to anyone else. However, the sound was exceptionally clear to Jiang Songchu, who was skilled in martial arts.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Songchu, who was sitting to the side, widened her eyes as if she had heard some earth-shattering secret.
A series of questions flashed through her mind: What kind of trouble did Xie's father cause back then? What was the Zhang Group's connection to it? Lin's mother's brother? Could it be... Director Lin Qian?!
The name exploded in Jiang Songchu's mind like a thunderclap, and her chopsticks trembled involuntarily.
The slice of meat he was holding slipped and landed squarely in the boiling hot pot, where Xie Linxiao swiftly scooped it up.
Seeing the piece of meat about to become someone else's meal, Jiang Songchu was left stunned and on the verge of tears. She could only glare at her brother with a wronged expression.
Xie Linxiao, however, seemed unconcerned. He chewed the piece of meat he had snatched with relish while whispering to Jiang Songchu, "Xiaochu, don't be surprised. It's just as you think. Director Lin Qian is indeed Mom's younger brother and our uncle."
"As for what happened to Dad back then, that's all in the past, you don't need to worry about it too much."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it. You can focus on your studies and work, haha!"
As he spoke, he picked up another piece of fresh meat and gently placed it into Jiang Songchu's bowl, his actions filled with doting affection and comfort.
Jiang Songchu's mood instantly brightened from a light drizzle. She nodded happily and plunged back into the sea of delicious food, eating with great relish.
However, Xie Linxiao's efficiency caught Jiang Songchu somewhat off guard.
On Sunday morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains, Jiang Songchu received a message from Chen Yun—she had been officially confirmed to play the role of Chi Jiangli.
At the same time, Chen Yun brought the latest news about Bai Ye'er and Wen Keling.
They seem to have recently been caught in a major public opinion storm, with a constant stream of negative news about them online.
Part of it was released by Chen Yun, and the other part... well, everyone knows. When someone in the entertainment industry has dirt on them, naturally countless rivals will start relentlessly attacking them.
Currently, Bai Ye'er and Wen Keling are sparing no effort to hire online trolls to try to clear their names. The internet is filled with various voices defending them, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Moreover, they also found Chen Yun through some channels, hoping that Chen Yun would show leniency and stop releasing any more damaging information about them.
Tong Shicheng also approached Chen Yun, saying that since they were from the same company, she should stop targeting Bai Ye'er and show some mercy.
Chen Yun responded: If they are truly at fault, then they should take responsibility for their actions instead of trying to cover it up through improper means. I am simply digging into the truth so that the public can see the facts.
Enraged, Tong Shicheng slammed the door and left.
Hearing these two unexpected pieces of good news made Jiang Songchu quite excited, but at the same time, he became more wary of Bai Ye'er and Wen Keling, guarding against them from attacking him again.
However, this also made her realize that her schedule would become extremely tight.
According to the plan, she will first have her costume fitting photos taken next week, followed by an official announcement. After the announcement, filming for other roles will begin. Her scenes will be filmed intensively during the winter break.
Jiang Songchu said she had no problem with the arrangement and was already prepared.
However, when Chen Yun mentioned the recording of "The Splendid Dance", Jiang Songchu suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten something important! She still needed to prepare several dances for the recording!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but slap her forehead, her frustration evident.
During this period, she devoted almost all her energy to reviewing her academic subjects, and her practice of ancient dance was only superficial and far from sufficient.
It now seems that rehearsals for the ancient dance program must be put on the agenda.
Therefore, Jiang Songchu immediately took action and put the rehearsal of the ancient dance program on the agenda.
She began to plan her time, combining dance practice with academic studies.
I plan to use every spare moment in the study room to choreograph several dances and practice every movement and every glance carefully, striving to show my best side on the stage of "Dancing Splendor".
As Jiang Songchu stepped into the school again that evening, the campus was already immersed in a peaceful night, with only a few streetlights emitting a soft glow to illuminate the way for students returning home late.
When Jiang Songchu pushed open the classroom door, she found that Du Jie's seat was empty, while her own seat was piled with all sorts of things, like a small hill.
She stood there, stunned, her gaze sweeping over the familiar faces one by one, a warm feeling welling up inside her.
"Is this... for me?" Jiang Songchu asked, somewhat incredulous.
The students smiled and nodded, some even winking mischievously.
She was taken aback, then looked closely and saw that the seat was scattered with study notes, all kinds of snacks, cute dolls, letters full of heartfelt wishes, and vivid portraits.
