“Do you know what the most ridiculous thing in this world is?” Yao Fan asked Qian Ge immediately. She could not help but chuckle. “It is not knowing your own place in this world.”

“How could you expect a blacklisted artiste who does not even have any decent acting skills to be able to know where they stand in this world?” Qian Ge replied, thinking that her plan had succeeded.

Unexpectedly...

“No, no, no...” Yao Fan quickly replied. “The person that I am talking about...is you!”

Qian Ge was dumbstruck.

“Qian Ge, do you know that your career has officially ended while Jiang Yuning’s has just begun? Do you know what the biggest difference between the two of you is? Qian Ge, you are always trying to suppress all the newcomers just so you can remain in the spotlight. However, what you do not understand is that if you are truly capable and amazing, you do not need to be afraid that someone else would turn out better than you, or that someone’s light would shine brighter than yours. Jiang Yuning has never treated you as her opponent...and that is why you have ultimately achieved this sort of ending!”

“Qian Ge, you are already history!”

After she had spoken, Yao Fan hung up the phone immediately.

Jiang Yuning’s ultimate goal would definitely comprise of taking the role of the female lead. However, Yao Fan knew very well that Jiang Yuning had never intended to take the role of the first or second female lead in <Mysteries of Heaven>.

Who else could Qian Ge blame but herself?

Jiang Yuning had never once responded to any of Qian Ge’s provocation. What Yao Fan said was clearly true. Jiang Yuning had never once regarded Qian Ge as her rival.

Everything happened really quickly and the media quickly got hold of the news that Qian Ge would no longer appear in any future public events. This was because Guangying Media had taken immediate action to send a representative over to Qian Ge’s agency to deal with the situation. Vera had personally made the trip to Qian Ge’s agency to reprimand Qian Ge’s artiste director. Did they really think that Guangying Media would just sit back and watch as one of their artistes was being bullied?

On the other hand, with Xue Li’s participation, Jiang Yuning’s fan club was upgraded immediately.

Xue Li immediately assigned the fans with the task of cleaning up all the bad publicity and criticism that had previously been started by Qian Ge’s fans. They were all extremely efficient and it only took them one whole afternoon to get rid of most of the negativity surrounding Jiang Yuning.

Furthermore, Xue Li even pinned a video of Jiang Yuning’s participation in the recent episode of <Hilarious Artistes> on the main profile fan page, followed by the three ancient-style short videos featuring Jiang Yuning. She had done all this so any passer-by would be able to see how versatile and incredible their idol was.

The young paparazzo could not help but sigh as he watched how Xue Li managed and handled the fan club. She was really an expert in this area.

Therefore, he approached Xue Li and praised her immediately. “Excellent work!”

Xue Li was very proud and satisfied with her own achievements. “Well, when you have time, send me some beautiful photos of Sister Yuning as part of the cast. I would like to edit the photos and release them online according to the shoot’s publicity in future.”

The young paparazzo thought for a moment before he replied, “Let me ask Sister Vera if we could arrange for you and some of the other fans to visit Jiang Yuning at the filming location. I want you to be able to get to know Sister Yuning better so that you can understand what kind of person she really is.”

Xue Li felt uncomfortable when she thought about what she had experienced and gone through at Shuofeng Film City last night. However, as soon as she recalled how Jiang Yuning had rolled her eyes at her, she could not help but laugh out loud. “Alright then. I will wait for your good news.”

She did not regret her decision to follow and become a fan of Jiang Yuning, even if her idol really had a lot of room for improvements...

Well...it would not be an issue for Xue Li to go to the filming location so that she could get to know Jiang Yuning personally. After all, Jiang Yuning had her own charms.

Moreover, Xue Li would definitely change her opinion of Jiang Yuning as soon as she got to know her.

Poor acting skills?

Non-existent!

...

In fact, Director Shen Guobang had considered giving the role of the second female lead to Jiang Yuning after kicking Qian Ge out of the cast. After all, Jiang Yuning’s acting skills were not that bad.

However, he was afraid that his decision would lead to Jiang Yuning having to endure further gossip and criticism. After putting much thought into it, Director Shen Guobang pulled Jiang Yuning to the side before he asked her, “Do you want to play the role of the second female lead?”

After hearing Director Shen Guobang’s question, Jiang Yuning quickly shook her head. “Director Shen Guobang, if you feel sorry for me, you can give me the role of the first female lead in your next drama production.”

“Who says that I am going to cast you in my next drama production? You are so thick skinned!” Director Shen Guobang replied as he glared at Jiang Yuning. “To be honest, your acting skills are not that bad. You deserve a better role.”

“I will definitely take a better role in the future, but not now. I think that I am really very well-suited to play the role of Lin Ping’er. I understand my own abilities and I know that I still have a lot of room for improvement. I am really thankful that you think so highly of me. Moreover, I would feel uneasy to let someone else play the role of Ping’er.”

Director Shen Guobang stared at Jiang Yuning and only nodded his head after he was fully convinced that Jiang Yuning was being sincere and meant every word that she had just said. “Alright then. I am glad that you can still remain humble and know your own place even after everything that has happened. You will have to film a scene with the first male lead, Song Chenxing, later in the afternoon. Make sure that you are fully prepared. Also, please make me a cup of tea.”

“Coming right up!” Jiang Yuning replied as she headed to the pantry immediately.

Both Jiang Yuning and Director Shen Guobang did not know that Song Chenxing, who was reading his script under a nearby tree, had overheard their entire conversation.

Nevertheless, he did not eavesdrop on their conversation intentionally.

Song Chenxing used to hear about Jiang Yuning’s 4.0 rated acting skills and therefore never had any good impression of her. However, after listening to the conversation between Jiang Yuning and Director Shen Guobang, he suddenly had a change of heart. At least this girl was not arrogant, but she was humble and willing to learn instead.

...

Director Shen Guobang arranged for Jiang Yuning’s scenes to be moved up the schedule and filmed first because Qian Ge had just been removed from the cast. He decided to give Yao Fan and Song Chenxing a short breather.

As this would be the first time that Jiang Yuning would be filming a scene with Song Chenxing, Director Shen Guobang wanted them to familiarize themselves with each other first.

However, Song Chenxing was such a famous and well-known actor. Would he even be bothered to get to know her? Moreover, Song Chenxing had always been a very cool and unapproachable person.

Jiang Yuning could feel her heart hurting when she thought about this matter.

Just as she was feeling extremely stressed out about how she should approach Song Chenxing, he suddenly took the initiative to approach her and said, “I am not that scary. You do not have to act like a mouse who has just seen a cat.”

“Erm...hello Teacher Song,” Jiang Yuning quickly greeted Song Chenxing as she held her script in her hands.

“Don’t be nervous, I will guide you and help you through the scene later,” Song Chenxing quickly assured Jiang Yuning.

At this moment, Jiang Yuning suddenly felt extremely flattered.

Lady Luck must be shining on her today. After a short while, Yao Fan also walked over to Jiang Yuning as she pointed at Song Chenxing’s direction using her chin. “Did he just take the initiative to talk to you?”

“Sister Fan.”

“It is the first time I have ever seen him actually taking the initiative to talk to anyone. However, don’t even think about it. He is mine,” Yao Fan said as she looked at Jiang Yuning. “I don’t think that he is your type anyway.”

“No, no...definitely not. I swear,” Jiang Yuning quickly answered as she waved her hands to prove her innocence. She wanted to preserve her own life.

She could still feel the pain of being attacked and made the target.

“That’s a relief then. Don’t worry, I will definitely help you during the scene later.”

Jiang Yuning’s eyes widened immediately because she was so shocked.

Was today a child care day?

A flush of emotions hit Jiang Yuning all of a sudden. She knew that both Song Chenxing and Yao Fan were big names in the entertainment industry and they were both actually willing to guide and help her through her scene. This was absolutely amazing.

“Then...can I secretly address you as my master?”

Yao Fan smiled as she replied, “Sure. I love being called a master.”

“Hahaha...”

After Qian Ge left the crew, the remaining production crew and cast members were unexpectedly harmonious and cooperative with one another.
