Club, private room
"Sister Xia Jin," Jiaqi hadn't expected to run into the company's top star here.
"Hello, Jiaqi. I just found out today that you're playing the third female lead," Xia Jin said with a radiant and gentle smile.
"Then you are…?"
"I'm the first female lead. It just hasn't been publicly announced for narrative reasons."
Xia Jin looked at the younger actress with disdain hidden in her heart; in truth, she had long known how Jiaqi had secured the role of the third female lead.
"Heh, well, that's great. Sister Xia Jin, I'll have to rely on you for guidance then."
"We'll learn from each other. Director Lu is the one who makes the final calls."
Sitting across from them, Lu Hai chuckled, "Jiaqi's acting is very good; she has tremendous talent."
The initially delighted Jiaqi inadvertently caught a flash of displeasure deep within Xia Jin's eyes.
Clearly, she wasn't happy with Lu Hai's praise.
