Chapter 61: 060 Return of Superstar in Entertainment Circle (5)
Chapter 61: 060 Return of Superstar in Entertainment Circle (5)
Ye Shaohua, although wanting to maintain her persona, usually repressed the aura of a top special agent. However, in an unintentional glance to the side at this moment, the hidden aura burst forth, leaving Bai Ran momentarily stunned.
Not just Bai Ran, even the film director called out by Ye Shaohua was taken by surprise.
“Director, so long as we reach the top of the mountain utilizing our own capabilities, any method we use counts as a win?” With everyone quiet, Ye Shaohua turned back to address the director directly.
She raised an eyebrow.
The director, somewhat surprised by Ye Shaohua, nodded without fully understanding.
“That’s good.” Ye Shaohua snapped her fingers with an air of coolness.
All along, the camera had been following her as she hailed a car on the winding mountain road, driven by a local.
One male artist in the team, knowing what Ye Shaohua was about to do, whispered, “The locals here don’t understand English,” thinking it futile…
But before he could finish, Ye Shaohua had already bypassed him and started communicating with the local in a low voice.
She spoke D Language fluently, with a voice that was deep and soft, unlike the careless and indifferent tone she used when speaking with Bai Ran and the others. The photographer noticed that Ye Shaohua was exceptionally patient and gentle when talking with the local.
Her language was also extremely fluent.
This scene couldn’t help but surprise the director, as well as Bai Ran and Qin Xuan.
She could speak the lesser-known D Language that fluently?
“Alright, get in, folks. This uncle has agreed to take us up the mountain.” Ye Shaohua opened the back door of the car and waved indifferently to Bai Ran and the others.
The contrast might not be so glaring without the driver uncle, but now, it was even more apparent.
She was gentle and courteous to the stranger, the driver uncle, but impatient with first-line superstars like Bai Ran and Qin Xuan.
The whole team managed to fit into the van, luckily large enough to accommodate the photographer as well.
As the door closed, the brightness inside the vehicle dimmed instantly. Ye Shaohua supported her chin with her fair fingers, smiling rarely at the director, who stood outside stunned, “Director, that’s not against the rules, is it?”
During this outdoor trip, due to inconvenience, the makeup artists only applied sunscreen for the female stars.
Even then, under the slanted sunlight, Ye Shaohua’s innate beauty was not in the least bit concealed.
“What about Bai Ran’s foot?” Qin Xuan looked at Ye Shaohua with starry eyes.
In just two or three sentences, Ye Shaohua became the pivotal figure from a nobody in the team.
“We have medical facilities on the mountain. Bai Ran isn’t in our team, can we continue with the mission?” Ye Shaohua asked the photographer in an unhurried manner.
The photographer, unable to discern Ye Shaohua’s intentions, simply shook his head.
This was a team competition.
On camera, the disappointment on Ye Shaohua’s face was clear.
Seeing her like this, Bai Ran blurted out, “I can endure it for three days.”
Hearing this, Ye Shaohua looked at him squarely for the first time, tossed her hat aside, and crouched down to Bai Ran’s foot cooly, casually manipulating his ankle with a few flicks of her hand, an action that looked quite flashy.
“What… what are you doing?” Bai Ran recoiled in fright, the movement aggravating his injury and draining the color from his face.
Ye Shaohua didn’t waste words and, while he was speaking, flipped her fingers.
Everyone almost heard a clear “click.”
“Ye Shaohua, you—” Qin Xuan felt the pain as if it were her own.
However, at this moment, Bai Ran rotated his foot, and the cries he was about to let out suddenly ceased—was it not hurting anymore?
Ye Shaohua then stood up, obtained a napkin from the driver, and started wiping her fingers one by one, casually saying, “Don’t interfere with my shooting.”
“…Thank you.” Bai Ran, somewhat awkwardly, looked out of the window with a slight flush on his face as he spoke.
Ye Shaohua leaned back in her seat and responded with a perfunctory “Hmm.”
As the car passed another team trekking up the mountain, Bai Ran and the others saw their dumbfounded expressions. The scene was delightfully satisfying, not just for Bai Ran, but even Qin Xuan couldn’t help but feel smug.
Ye Shaohua pretended not to notice her peculiarity, just smiling and saying, “It’s a good thing I didn’t go, otherwise I would have been the one they snatched, and Xuexue, be careful next time you go to the parking lot.”
Sang Xue was completely content, considering her own safety, while Ye Shaohua was coolly saying how fortunate it was not her, Qi Zihua didn’t even bother to glance at her. If it weren’t for Sang Xue living here, he might have turned around and left.
Brother Liang adjusted his glasses and sensed the tension in the room.
Being acquainted with Qi Zihua, he naturally knew what tricks Qi Zihua was playing.
Yet he didn’t warn Ye Shaohua. As for a female artist who climbed the ranks by any means necessary, it would become a stain on Ye Shaohua’s reputation if it blew up later.
The atmosphere was tense, and he worried that Ye Shaohua would notice Qi Zihua’s thoughts towards Sang Xue or might let slip on the internet something that would affect Sang Xue’s popularity.
He aimed to place Sang Xue on the international stage, naturally, he wouldn’t allow any negative press about her.
So, he changed the channel to the one airing Sang Xue’s Variety Show, trying to attract Ye Shaohua’s attention, “Shaohua, getting to collaborate with Bai Ran is also an opportunity, after this show airs, you should be able to advance further.”
Although he said this, Brother Liang didn’t care about Ye Shaohua’s show at all in his heart.
Even though Bai Ran was very famous, his fans were mostly young girls, and especially since Bai Ran himself hated artists who used backdoors to get ahead, it would be too difficult for Ye Shaohua to siphon off any popularity from him.
The reality show probably didn’t even want to give Ye Shaohua much screen time, since the show itself was afraid of getting bad press.
After this show, Ye Shaohua would probably be criticized by Bai Ran’s fans.
Brother Liang thought indifferently.
Moreover, he had set the channel to Sang Xue’s Variety Show. Although he had attended the live shoot, Brother Liang still wanted to see the final product, as the Variety Show was very important to Sang Xue.
Qi Zihua, of course, knew this too.
He was there to watch Sang Xue’s debut tonight.
But looking at how Sang Xue earnestly and gently treated his wound, and then seeing Ye Shaohua sitting on the couch nonchalantly, sporting a smile with an ambiguous meaning,
Qi Zihua felt annoyed inside. He grabbed the remote and switched to the channel airing Ye Shaohua’s reality show, then spitefully said, “We’ve already seen Xuexue’s live performance, now let’s check out Young Lady Ye’s show.”
Let’s see how you make a fool of yourself.
