Chapter 37: Arc 4 - Face Value is Justice
Translator: Yuzu
Qing Yuns arrogance was even more appealing to them than when he was so well-behaved! Whats more, Qing Yuns face was even more dazzling now that he had undergone a soul transformation.
Seeing that his hard-earned words from earlier had drifted away, Bai Xiyan couldnt help but grit his teeth. He turned to look at Qing Yun and said with an impatient tone, What else do you want?
Although they debuted simultaneously, after this period of management, Bai Xiyan and Qing Yuns curry has long been different. The companys resources have been inclined towards Bai Xiyan, so he doesnt need to be polite to Qing Yun.
Putting the few of them together, it took you a lot of effort, didnt it? Qing Yun asked slowly and deliberately.
Bai Xiyans eyes stared, neither admitting nor denying, and said ambiguously, Ridiculous, you are with the six of them at the same time, and yet youre afraid that they might hit you. This situation, youve brought this on yourself.
Oh? What did I do? Just because Im pretty? Did I force them to come and bully me? Did I force them to fight to crawl into my bed? Qing Yun leaned on the back of the chair, with sharp words and a pair of upwardly slanting peach blossom eyes that looked askance at the crowd.
The men all choked.
Qing Yun was right. He wasnt the one who ran up to them earlier and grabbed their thighs. They were the ones who took a liking to his appearance and went over to him. Qing Yun hadnt agreed until now, but they had done a lot of coercion and seduction themselves.
If he hadnt been signed to Sheng Shi Entertainment, they would have used their own methods to get him.
The six men looked at each other, all seeing the same shame in each others eyes. At once, it became clear that they all played the same trick.
The others didnt know, but Qing Yun checked the original bodys memory and was very clear. It wasnt that he didnt want to reject, but he didnt dare to, as these men could crush him to death with a single move. He was also a coward and could not think of a plan to use one to deal with the other, so he can only cover up and bear it silently.
When it came from Bai Xiyans mouth, it seemed as if Qing Yun was stepping on six boats himself.
Ignoring the dumb and speechless men, Qing Yun looked at the time and left with his jacket. He walked past Bai Xiyan, not lowering his voice at all, Although this place is hidden, in the end, it is not completely safe.
Ill remember the glass of water you splashed me with today. I like to do things to the death, and I think its worth using myself, an 18-tier little actor, to bring down the current you.
Bai Xiyan instantly understood the meaning of Qing Yuns words. If todays incident were released, it would damage both of their images.
If Qing Yun released the video, at most, he would suffer the wrath of the six men and quit the entertainment industry. But not Bai Xiyan, his carefully-built image must not be tainted by such a thing.
Bai Xiyans eyes flashed a trace of wretchedness. He didnt expect Qing Yun to seize this loophole. He must not fail all over again. He cant bear the thought of Qing Yun, a person with nothing but looks, climbing on top of him again.
As they watched Qing Yuns back, the six men present had mixed feelings. Bai Xiyans words woke them up, as if to make them see what was wrong with them. Qing Yun was just an empty shell, but it was this empty shell that made them feel restless, like a cat was scratching at their hearts.
Qing Yun was in a hurry. He had to attend an event with his agent today. Now that most of the companys resources have been inclined to Bai Xiyan, he has to earn what he wants.
As soon as she saw Qing Yun, wearing a hat and mask, his agent He Lan couldnt help but yell at him, Youre looking for death, what time is it? Ive had a hard time finding this opportunity for you, so get in the car!
When she saw Qing Yun get in the car, He Lan wanted to yell some more, but once she saw Qing Yuns perfect face after taking off his hat and mask, she got stuck as if her neck was pinched. He Lan held her breath in her throat, her face red, and eventually could only turn her head in anger.
Its been nearly a year, and He Lan still cant help but be stunned whenever she sees Qing Yuns face. Today, she inexplicably feels that Qing Yun seems to be a little better looking. Those eyes aimed to make peoples hearts beat faster.
Unfortunately, hes a guy who plays his good cards with a bad hand.
He Lan couldnt help but give herself two slaps when she thought of this. When Bai Xiyan and Qing Yun were the only ones to pick from, she didnt hesitate to pick Qing Yun and felt that she had picked up a treasure, but the reality was that she was given a big slap in the face.
Bai Xiyan is a sweet-talker, whereas Qing Yun is not suitable for the entertainment industry at all. His character is too soft and unmotivated. If nobody supports him, hell be gone in less than a year in the entertainment industry.
Thinking like this, He Lan quietly observed the youth in the backseat from the rearview mirror.
Qing Yun was looking sideways out of the window. His incomparably beautiful side face was even more alluring in the cars dim light, not to mention that fair neck
He Lan immediately withdrew her eyes and focused on the front. Oh my god, I cant look any further. If I look any further, Ill have an accident!
When they arrived at the place, He Lan immediately dragged Qing Yun inside. Many producers and directors were at this event, and He Lan wanted to try her luck with Qing Yun. Last month, Qing Yun only shot one commercial, and this month he has no offers.
When he saw an acquaintance in the crowd, He Lans eyes lit up and immediately dragged Qing Yun over, Director Li! I heard that the protagonist of that TV series Seal the Sky hasnt been finalized yet
Before He Lan finished speaking, Director Li shook his head with a complicated expression, He Lan, its not that I dont want to help you. I gave him a chance last time, and he doesnt fit the lead role.
He Lan and Director Li had some friendship, Qing Yun had already auditioned, but the performance was unsatisfactory.
Qing Yun looked at Director Li and suddenly remembered that the main character should have been finalized by now. If there were no surprises, it would be Bai Xiyan, who was taking a step further with this TV series.
Thinking of this, Qing Yun, who had been silent, picked up a glass of champagne and handed it to Director Li, his voice sounding polite and not flattering: Director Li, actually, this time I want to audition for the role of Ling Hua Xianjun.1
Director Li had just regained consciousness from the shock of the beauty offering wine and sighed: Its a pity about this good face.
Qing Yuns words entered his mind and suddenly stirred that nerve of his as a director. He looked up and down at Qing Yun and even circled around the person.
He was surprised that Qing Yun would mention this role because it merely appeared a few times, in just a few scenes, and sometimes even only in the background. Director Li originally planned to cut out all of the characters appearances and replace them with just anyone.
This is not to say that Director Li is not serious as a director, but the role was too difficult to cast, and it might get a crazy backlash from fans of the original novel.
In the novel, this character was the only immortal whose looks and temperament are hard to find on earth. He appears as the main characters mentor. The author also hinted that he is responsible for plunging the entire continent into disaster.
He is so handsome, yet he seems to be hiding the greatest malice in his heart. In the second part of the story, the painful fate he has been carrying since he was a child is revealed, earning tears from the readers.
It can be said that looks are part of this roles charm, but this roles appeal does not only come from his appearance.
If the performance is not satisfying, Director Li would rather cut the role than find someone to fool around.
But now he is hesitant to look at Qing Yun because his looks absolutely match, but his acting skillsdoes Qing Yun have such a thing as acting skills?
Director Li is entangled inwardly. This role is not uncomplicated. If he can really keep this role, it will definitely be an excellent addition to the show. He hesitated, and he looked up into Qing Yuns eyes, which were clear to the end. The eyes were not childlike and flawless but were empty and chilling to the core.
Director Li suddenly recalled the original quote: There were no living creatures in his eyes, no mountains or rivers, not even his apprentice that he had raised since he was a child.
Good! Director Li made a snap decision, You will come to the set tomorrow!
Then, he recalled Qing Yuns miserable acting skills and added a hard line: after the audition, well decide.
He Lan, who didnt expect Qing Yun to open his own mouth, was shocked until now. She looked at Qing Yun, standing beside her with no cowardice on his face, and she made a guess in her heart that made her ecstatic. This kid couldnt be enlightened, right?
If thats the case, then her miserable days will come to an end!
Dont look at it as just a small role. This was the first time Qing Yun had fought for only by himself, so no matter how small the part was, to He Lan, bringing Qing Yun to this event was a success.
Thinking of this, He Lan simply let go and let Qing Yun wander around the scene by himself, only instructing him to call her if anything was wrong.
But this bodys appearance was too inviting, which annoyed Qing Yun to no end. He dodged the frenzied bees and butterflies that stuck up to him. He walked into the bathroom, frowning, and washed his hands. The smell of perfume on his body made him very annoyed.
As soon as Qing Yun stepped out of the bathroom, he was hit by a person stumbling into him.
He wanted to push the person away, but Qing Yun smelled a familiar scent in an instant, and the original arm that was pushing was changed to an embrace. Qing Yuns heart swelled with a secret joy. He did not expect to meet him so soon this time.
However, before this joy was noticed by Qing Yun himself, he was pushed away. The man was more than 1.9 meters tall, with strong muscles under his suit, so the force was so heavy that Qing Yun crashed into the wall, and his shoulder blades immediately hurt.
Go away! The harsh cry came without hesitation.
Yo? Whats going on?
Qing Yun looked towards the man who had just bumped into him and noticed that something was wrong. No wonder Qing Yun was able to recognize the man. Now, the mans suit trousers bulged with a big lump, and his face was even more flushed.
He sighed inwardly and softened for a moment, but Qing Yun didnt expect this man to be caught in a trick.
He walked over and stretched out his cold hands to caress the mans cheeks, softly reassuring, Why are you so careless? Are you okay? Ill find you a room
The coolness on his cheeks visibly quieted the man a bit, and he narrowed his narrowed black eyes, clearly trying to get a better look at the person in front of him. Although he didnt look worried, he still obeyed his hearts most secret desire and tightly gripped the youths arm in front of him.
While Qing Yun was looking around to see if there was an empty room, a figure appeared from the elevator.
As soon as that person appeared, he walked towards Qing Yun and called out, Mr. Ning, are you okay?
Qing Yun looked over and frowned. The person who came was Bai Xiyan.
