Liang Yin clenched her fists, feeling very displeased, but she didn't dare to say anything without Da Fei's permission.
Lin Chudong said calmly, "Since that's the case, then there's nothing to discuss. You can leave."
Zhao Renlong snorted and picked up the contract on the table, saying impatiently, "You've wasted my time!"
He then slammed the door and left.
Liang Yin, fuming, crossed her arms. "What kind of person is this? He's such a diva, isn't he?"
Lin Chudong sneered, "He's just putting on an act with us. Do you think he'd dare to be this arrogant with Sister Song?"
"What do we do now?"
"It's okay, there are plenty of male actors. I'll find another one. You go home and rest first."
At the same time, in the makeup room of CCTV Studio Number Three.
Cheng Huanhuan was sitting on the sofa, waiting for her classmate and best friend, Deng Siqing, to get off work.
Looking at this makeup room, Cheng Huanhuan was envious. As expected of CCTV's Top Anchor, her status was high.
She casually picked up Deng Siqing's makeup box and opened it. Inside, she found a photo of Lin Chudong.
This photo was a promotional poster taken when he was with Da Fei's band, practically an antique.
Cheng Huanhuan was stunned. Deng Siqing liked Da Fei?
Just then, Deng Siqing pushed the door open and walked in. Her slender, beautiful legs were clad in high heels, and her fair skin was so dazzling that it was hard to look directly at her.
Her long black hair was coiled up, making her look elegant and composed.
Even Cheng Huanhuan couldn't help but sigh, this is a real mature woman.
Several directors followed behind Deng Siqing and said,
"Sister Deng, I was a little slow with the scene change just now. I'm really sorry."
Deng Siqing's face was cold, and her voice was clear and cold.
"This is the second time you've made this mistake. How many more times do you want to make it? If I have to remind you of everything, what are you even here for?"
That director was scolded until his face was red and he was about to cry. Everyone inside CCTV knew how overbearing Deng Siqing was; sometimes even the director had to call her Sister Deng.
"Alright, I need to rest now. You can all leave."
The few young directors breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Sister Deng having a guest today, they probably would have been scolded to tears again.
After the group left, Cheng Huanhuan stood up and walked in front of the mirror, saying,
"Wow, Sister Deng is really impressive. CCTV's Top Anchor is different indeed, so overbearing. I won't even learn a tenth of your skill in this lifetime."
Deng Siqing rolled her eyes. "Stop it with the flattery. You're at CCTV now too, you're amazing! Maybe you'll take my place someday."
Cheng Huanhuan shook her head. "I don't like yelling at people every day."
Deng Siqing was helpless. "Do you think I like yelling? These people wouldn't improve if I didn't scold them."
Cheng Huanhuan opened her makeup box and pointed at a photo of Da Fei inside.
"My Deng-jie, you like Da Fei?"
Deng Siqing's face flushed immediately. She quickly snatched the makeup box back, chiding, "Who told you to go through my things?"
"Oh, oh, oh, Deng-jie is blushing? Seriously? No way!"
Deng Siqing said, "I can't be a fan?"
Cheng Huanhuan tilted her chin. "No one says you can't be a fan, but Da Fei's status... is it a bit of a waste for you to personally chase after him?"
Deng Siqing snorted, "What's wrong? Do you have to consider status when chasing a star? Li Zhilin, that little fresh meat, has a high status, but I feel disgusted when I see him."
"The truly talented are always buried by this world."
Deng Siqing's hand gently stroked the photo in her makeup box, her expression that of a girl in love.
Cheng Huanhuan said, "I didn't know you were such a die-hard fan. I know Da Fei, I'll video call him right now."
Deng Siqing's face changed drastically, "Cheng Huanhuan, don't mess around! You little bitch, stop it!"
She couldn't stop her in time, and Cheng Huanhuan had already made the call.
Deng Siqing immediately stood up, a little at a loss, wanting to find a place to hide, but not wanting to miss the opportunity to video call Da Fei. While she was hesitating, Lin Chudong had already answered the video call.
"Da Fei, long time no see?"
Lin Chudong was actually a little surprised. He and Cheng Huanhuan weren't that close. They were considered friends from their time on Hundred Praise King, and he was surprised to get a video call from her today.
"Long time no see. I heard you went to CCTV. Congratulations! You'll be the next Deng Siqing, the future CCTV's Top Anchor."
Lin Chudong could also sweet-talk, offering some flattery to ease the awkwardness.
Deng Siqing, hearing Da Fei mention her name, immediately blushed, excitedly twisting the hem of her skirt with both hands.
Cheng Huanhuan turned her head to look. She'd never seen her best friend with this expression in her entire life.
Cheng Huanhuan held up her phone, slowly moving the camera angle.
"Da Fei, look who this is?"
Deng Siqing appeared in the frame, and she kicked Cheng Huanhuan hard. This girl was crazy! Suddenly starting a video call was mortifying! The awkwardness was so intense that Deng Siqing wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in!
Lin Chudong was stunned. He hadn't expected this turn of events. Cheng Huanhuan was being a bit... bold.
"Hello, Sister Deng. I've heard you two are classmates. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
Deng Siqing was eloquent on stage, capable of delivering a ten-minute speech off-the-cuff during a live broadcast. But now, in front of the camera, she couldn't utter a single word.
And to top it off, that damn Cheng Huanhuan was still pointing the camera at her! What an awkward situation, and she didn't even try to smooth things over!
After a few seconds, Deng Siqing, steeling herself, said, "Wh…when?"
Lin Chudong was taken aback.
Huh?
He was just being polite, making small talk and saying he'd treat them to a meal if he got the chance. Any normal person would realize it was just a casual remark. It was rare for someone like Deng Siqing to take it so seriously.
"I'll definitely treat you to a meal when I go to the capital."
Lin Chudong answered seriously this time. CCTV's Top Anchor seemed quite shy, a bit different from how she appeared on TV.
Cheng Huanhuan stopped teasing her. Deng Siqing's face was flushed; it wouldn't be good to push things any further.
"Da Fei, you promised, you're treating the two of us to dinner, alright?"
Lin Chudong said, "No problem, it's my honor."
Cheng Huanhuan asked, "Have you been on any shows recently?"
Lin Chudong replied, "No, I'm preparing to film a drama and I'm currently worried about finding the right male actor..."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a few moments before hanging up.
Lin Chudong was puzzled. Why had Cheng Huanhuan contacted him out of the blue? It seemed she was even going to introduce him to Deng Siqing?
That's a good thing. Sister Deng is CCTV's Top Anchor. Maybe she can help us out in the future.
"You little… I'll strangle you!"
Cheng Huanhuan was pinned on the sofa and thoroughly roughed up by Deng Siqing.
"Sister Deng, I was wrong! Didn't I create an opportunity for you? Aren't you a fan? I introduced you!"
Deng Siqing gnashed her teeth in anger. "Is that how you introduce someone? Shoving the camera in their face, you made me look terrible!"
Cheng Huanhuan said, "You are a beauty with no blind spots, how could you be ugly?"
After a while, Deng Siqing didn't bother with her anymore and took out her phone, saying.
"Give me Da Fei's phone number."
Cheng Huanhuan said, "I'll push you his WeChat."
"No! I just want his phone number!"
"Sis, are you too scared to add him?"
"None of your business?"
"Alright, alright, who am I to argue with you, you're CCTV's Top Anchor, I'll send it to you."
Deng Siqing took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, you little brat, are you filming anything lately? Great, I'll give you a phone number to go audition. It's my friend, be polite, and take whatever salary they offer you. What nonsense, I'm your sister, how dare you not listen to me? I'll break your legs..."
