Su Ruixue found out that Director Zhou was going to be in a private room at the Bihua Bar tonight, so she squatted at the door of the private room early in the morning and waited for Director Zhou to come.

She looked at her watch. It was already seven o'clock. Why wasn't Director Zhou here yet?

There was still a month to go before Director Zhou's production of Nightmare, but the role of male supporting role had yet to be finalized. She wanted to fight for Gu Xingbei.

Su Ruixue looked up in the direction of the footsteps and saw a few men walking toward her. The middle-aged man with long hair and black-rimmed glasses in the middle was Director Zhou Yansheng.

"Director Zhou..."

Su Ruixue muttered softly and stood up happily. Perhaps it was because she had been squatting for a long time, but as soon as she stood up, her vision suddenly went dark and her head was still dizzy.

She quickly went forward and blocked them.

The men looked at her doubtfully.

Su Ruixue grinned and said, "Hello, Director Zhou."

Director Zhou looked at Su Ruixue, who suddenly appeared in front of him and frowned. "You are?"

"I'm Gu Xingbei's manager, Su Ruixue. Our artist has always wanted to be on your show..."

She quickly took out Gu Xingbei's resume from her bag and handed it to Director Zhou.

Director Zhou was looking at her with a serious expression. Su Ruixue felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had stopped him so presumptuously.

Director Zhou stared at the resume in her hand. "Let's talk inside."

He walked around Su Ruixue and entered the private room.

Su Ruixue glanced sideways at the producers who had followed Director Zhou into the box. She hesitated for a moment and then followed him in.

Director Zhou flipped open Gu Xingbei's resume and looked at it. He raised his head to look at Su Ruixue, who was sitting stiffly at the side, and then put the resume on the table.

He adjusted his glasses, sighed, and said regretfully, "Gu Xingbei came to audition before, and I and all the producers present have a deep impression of him. In terms of acting and image, he is indeed more suited to the role..."

Hearing Director Zhou's words, Su Ruixue was delighted. "Then do you mean to use him? I heard that the male supporting role actor has not been officially decided yet. Why don't you give our Xingbei a chance? "

Director Zhou took off his glasses and wiped them: "Gu Xingbei is not bad, and I'm very satisfied, but we all know in this line of work that actors don't just look at strength, they also look at popularity. And Gu Xingbei has only played a few small roles since his debut..."

"Director Zhou, I know that. It's just that I want to fight for him a little longer. After all, he really wants to play your part."

Su Ruixue grabbed Director Zhou's arm excitedly.

"Miss Su, it's not that we don't want to give him the chance, but what can he do no matter how good his acting is? How many people know him? And I can't make this decision..."

Although he also thought highly of Gu Xingbei, the investors were more interested in the commercial value and popularity of an actor.

"Director Ji is here," a man suddenly said.

The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open and Ji Lingchuan walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Su Ruixue holding Director Zhou's arm. His eyes narrowed, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes. His hands, which were hanging by his side, unconsciously clenched into fists.

Director Zhou looked up and saw Ji Lingchuan. He grabbed Su Ruixue's hand and whispered, "Mr. Ji is the biggest investor in our show. If you beg him, you might have a chance!"

Mr. Ji...

When Su Ruixue looked up, she saw a man walking towards her. Ji Lingchuan was wearing a well-tailored black suit and had slicked-back hair. His long, narrow eyes were staring at her coldly.

When she met his cold gaze, Su Ruixue held her breath and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her palm.

Why was he here?

Ji Lingchuan calmly sat down on an armchair and crossed his legs, looking as if he was high and mighty.

Director Zhou and the other producers quickly stood up and toasted him.

"Director Ji." Director Zhou poured a glass of champagne and handed it to him.

Ji Lingchuan took the glass of champagne and shook it gently, "Why is there a woman here?"

His cold gaze fell on the dazed Su Ruixue. Director Zhou followed his gaze and smiled. "Miss Su is Gu Xingbei's agent."

"Oh?" Ji Lingchuan looked at Su Ruixue with an unfathomable gaze. Finally, he raised his head and took a sip of champagne. "I don't remember asking an artist agent to attend the meeting tonight."

Director Zhou looked embarrassed.

He introduced Su Ruixue, "Miss Su, this is Mr. Ji, an investor in our movie."

Su Ruixue came back to her senses and looked at Ji Lingchuan with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Ji."

Ji Lingchuan snorted coldly and avoided her gaze. He picked up the wine glass and drank his wine calmly.

Xiang Wan was used to Ji Lingchuan's cold attitude towards her - as such, she was quite patient with him.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and Director Zhou quickly tried to smooth things over: "Director Ji, it's about to start, and the role of male supporting role hasn't been decided yet..."

Finally, Ji Lingchuan reacted. He put down his wine glass, crossed his legs, and looked at Director Zhou with an expressionless face. "I want you to confirm the role-player for the time being. As for the role of male supporting role..."

At this point, Ji Lingchuan suddenly stopped.

Director Zhou realized that his chance had come. He nudged Su Ruixue lightly with his elbow, signaling her to quickly hand over Gu Xingbei's resume to Ji Lingchuan.

"Director Ji, I think Gu Xingbei's image is quite good. It fits the image of a male supporting role." Director Zhou looked at Su Ruixue again: "Miss Su, hurry up and give Director Ji your family's artist's resume..."

"How much did Director Zhou give you to work so hard in front of me to give Gu Xingbei a chance?"

Director Zhou was interrupted by Ji Lingchuan before he could finish his sentence, and the atmosphere immediately became extremely heavy.

The smile on Director Zhou's face froze as he looked at Ji Lingchuan, who had a cold expression on his face.

Su Ruixue could not help but tighten her grip on the resume. She bit her lip and stared at Ji Lingchuan, who was also looking at her.

Ji Lingchuan looked away, straightened his clothes and said slowly, "Director Zhou, I told you before that as long as there are famous actors and actresses in this show, we are a proper crew, not just any Tom, Dick or Harry."

As he said this, Ji Lingchuan intentionally glanced at Su Ruixue.

Director Zhou agreed with him with a smile, "Yes, Director Ji, you're right..."

Director Zhou paused for a moment and raised his eyes to look at him firmly. "But Director Ji... I really think that Gu Xingbei is the best candidate for the male supporting role."

"He could do it, but..." The corner of Ji Lingchuan's mouth curled up as he looked at Su Ruixue sinisterly. Su Ruixue felt terrified under his gaze and had a bad feeling about it. Sure enough, after a while, Ji Lingchuan said frivolously, "It's just that I let her! It was Gu Xingbei's agent who begged me! "
