Tragically, Wang Yu’s wildest fantasies were never realized.

Instead, Cheng Zhen came quickly and affectionately grasped Luo Ying’s hand.

“Yingying! I finally get to see you.’

Wang Yu was relieved. It appeared that the two women were acquainted.

But Luo Ying’s eyebrows shot up. She had no recollection of ever having met Cheng Zhen and it didn’t appear that her past self had either.

What did she want?

Cheng Zhen was aware of Luo Ying’s uncertainty. As she held her hand and walked to the corner, she raised her index finger. “I know you’re confused, but hear me out first.

Luo Ying was not bothered by Cheng Zhen’s approach. After all, she could let such a good-looking person get away with the occasional slight. Furthermore, she had the impression that she had no malicious intent.

Hence, she allowed Cheng Zhen to lead her to the corner, where they stood far away from the others.

“It’s okay if you don’t know who I am. Have you seen Prime Minister?” Cheng Zhen kept her voice down, but her tone betrayed her excitement.

Her eyes twinkled as she looked at Luo Ying.

Luo Ying realized what was going on. Wasn’t this the small production script she’d just read in the morning?

“Yes, why?” Luo Ying looked at Cheng Zhen with a smile.

She had just finished reading the script in the morning and hadn’t decided which one to accept. Was she already being sought out in the afternoon? What a strange coincidence!

Luo Ying didn’t believe in predestined coincidences. Too many coincidences could only mean that someone was trying to push it behind the scenes.

“What do you think? Have you considered it? Are you going to take it?” Cheng Zhen seemed to grow even more excited and quickly asked, “Yingying, you’re my favorite female artiste! I’ll be your partner in this project!”

Cheng Zhen had said this all in earnest. The director was her good friend, so she had seen the script a long time ago and liked the villain role very much.

When they began casting additional actors, her mind went straight to Luo Ying.

The initial image of Luo Ying was almost perfect for the female lead’s setting. Luo Ying, on the other hand, insisted on wearing a pure and innocent style that did not suit her. Cheng Zhen frowned and hesitated, concerned about her acting abilities.

Fortunately, Luo Ying had returned to her original style. Her performance in “Dancing Shoes and Summer” was also memorable. Cheng Zhen had urged her friend to edit the script and send it to Luo Ying as soon as possible.

Luo Ying nearly burst out laughing. Everyone in the entertainment industry was only interested in the main character. Cheng Zhen’s enthusiasm for playing a supporting role was unusual.

However, she made it clear that a true actor didn’t care whether they played the lead or a supporting role. They were more concerned with playing a challenging role that they enjoyed.

As a result, she fully understood Cheng Zhen’s decision and even admired it. She could tell Cheng Zhen had no malice and was telling the truth.

“I like the script as well, but what I’m looking at is the production team’s caliber.” Luo Ying also responded candidly.

The female protagonist was written to be dazzling and beautiful. As a result, from the time she was admitted as the top scholar to the time she was appointed by the emperor, the court was rife with controversy due to her appearance. There were always those who claimed that she was favored by the Emperor because she served him with her beauty.

At first glance, Luo Ying was also drawn to the female lead role. It was the ideal fit for her.

“Don’t worry!” Luo Ying’s honesty made Cheng Zhen like her more. “My friend invested in it,” she explained quietly. “Trust me, we won’t be short on funds, and our team won’t be lacking in quality. Our family…”

“Shh!” Luo Ying quickly stopped her. There were too many people on set, so it was best not to delve too deeply into the subject. “I understand. I’ll get back to you after I’ve given it some thought, okay?”

“Good! Then I’ll wait for you!” Cheng Zhen nodded.

The two of them then laughed together. Luo Ying’s words were basically an affirmation. They just needed to discuss the details of the contract with the team.

“Sister Ying, we’re ready!” The advertising director shouted and interrupted their conversation.

“Add my assistant on WeChat. I have to continue filming the advertisement.” Luo Ying drew back and motioned Cheng Zhen to look for Wang Yu.

Cheng Zhen made an “ok” gesture and happily walked towards Wang Yu.

Luo Ying quickly returned to the set to resume filming.

Luo Ying was happy despite the abruptness of her introduction to Cheng Zhen. Simply put, Cheng Zhen lived up to her name. She was a genuine and honest human being. With such a person, communication and friendship were effortless.

Consequently, the subsequent shots of Luo Ying showed an even marked improvement in her form.

Everyone was in a hurry to wrap up filming before the sun set.

Zhang Yue, as filming neared its conclusion, appeared out of nowhere with a dessert cart, handing out treats and beverages to the crew. “Xiao Yu?” Luo Ying frowned and called Wang Yu over.

She had not planned for this today.

“Sister Ying.” Wang Yu was also holding a separate lunch box in her hand. “It’s from President Lu. He told me to make sure that you eat some..”
