Chapter 265: Encounter at the Recording Studio (1)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In the Class for High Achievers for the Final Year of Senior High, everyone could vaguely sense that the relationship between Jian Yunnao and Mo Shiyun had turned sour.

However, it seemed like a private matter between Jian Yunnao and Mo Shiyun. As a result, most of the students didn’t feel like questioning either of them further.

However, Zhu Sha was quite curious about this matter. And thus, she chased after Mo Shiyun to ask questions.

Faced with Zhu Sha’s questions, Mo Shiyun merely answered that they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Due to this reason, their relationship had weakened.

Then, Zhu Sha followed up with another question, “Is the photo you posted on your news feed legit? Did you really shoot for a commercial last night?”

Last night Mo Shiyun had posted a status: [It’s the first time I’ve stood in front of a professional camera. I’m quite nervous. I hope that this shoot will be smooth.]

“Mhmm.”

However, Mo Shiyun did not tell Zhu Sha the details behind the shoot. She didn’t tell her friend that she had received help from a couple.

Mo Shiyun had quite an attractive appearance. Furthermore, she was quite photogenic.

As Mo Shiyun had previously saved Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Qian had recommended her for an ordinary commercial. Mrs. Qian had quite a lot of connections in the entertainment industry.

For some commercials, the emphasis was on the commercial’s creativity and not its celebrity endorsement. As a result, it was important to find someone who fulfilled the image required by the commercial.

And thus, Mo Shiyun was offered this opportunity.

When Mrs. Qian initially recommended Mo Shiyun, she had told Mo Shiyun that she would not only earn a huge amount of money for herself and her mother, but this would also be an opportunity for her to take a step into the entertainment industry.

But of course, it was just that. A mere opportunity.

When you initially started off, it was quite difficult to make your name known in the entertainment industry. And thus, the chances of making a successful entry just off one commercial was quite low.

After receiving Mo Shiyun’s reply, Zhu Sha’s face was filled with envy, “Oh my goodness, Shiyun! You’re amazing! Although you’re still in high school, you’ve managed to shoot for a commercial! Sometimes, it takes years for others to get a chance to do a commercial!”

“Oh, I’m just lucky,” Mo Shiyun replied. For Mo Shiyun, being in a commercial was not an amazing achievement.

“Hey, don’t say that. If you’re saying its luck, why can’t other people have the same luck as you? I feel like luck probably plays a part however, it’s your own circumstances and appearance that ended up being a huge factor.”

Zhu Sha kept praising Mo Shiyun.

Back at the Old Jian Residence, Jian Yumin blocked Jian Yiling’s path.

Jian Yiling attempted to walk around him. However, he didn’t let her pass.

When Jian Yiling headed towards the left, Jian Yumin stepped towards the left. When Jian Yiling headed towards the right, Jian Yumin followed her as well.

“Yiling, please say yes to your brother!”

In order to get Jian Yiling to be the female lead of their upcoming MV, Jian Yumin started to act shamelessly. He wouldn’t let his sister pass if she didn’t agree to this!

“No,” Jian Yiling replied. She refused to agree with him.

Jian Yumin’s request was more than she could handle.

“Hey, I can teach you! I’ll teach you everything that you need to know!”

Jian Yumin had already imagined his sister in the music video. The more he imagined it, the more he wanted to make it become a reality.

“I don’t know how to.”

Jian Yiling didn’t know how to act. Nor did she know how to sing or dance.

“It doesn’t matter! If you don’t say yes, I’ll pick you up and carry you over there!”

“...”

“I’ll secretly bring you dessert! Is that okay?”

Recently, Grandma Jian had been controlling the number of sweets and desserts that Jian Yiling could have. As a result, Jian Yiling was only allowed one dessert a week.

And thus, Jian Yumin decided to tempt Jian Yiling with this.

“...”

Although she had a sweet tooth, she wasn’t about to be baited like this...

She wasn’t a kid...

However, in the end, Jian Yiling gave in.

She decided to go with Jian Yumin.

Either way, they would let her go back home when they realized that she was impossible to perform with.
