CHAPTER 22
Song Nanchuan was set to depart two days later The day before his departure, he spent the night with Pei Ying
In theacco Nanchuan earnestly reminded her, “I’ve already set up your phone to make international calls Remember to call me every day”
“Mm What if you’re busy?”
“Getting your call is still more important”
Pei Ying couldn’t help give a light chortle “This CEO’s really quite headstrong”
Song Nanchuan raised his brow and continued, “Remember to call me three times each day”
Pei Ying fluttered her eyelashes “I can’t call four times?”
Song Nanchuan smiled and kissed her “The more the merrier, of course”
A pair of lovers so reluctant to part… Xiao Zhang braced hi, it’s time to board the plane”
Song Nanchuan frowned slightly Though he really didn’t want to, he finally let go of Pei Ying “I’ve got to go Take care of yourself, and remember to eat your meals on time”
Pei Ying responded, “You’re the one who should re else just because you’re busy”
Song Nanchuan s you”
Pei Ying, “…”
Did CEO Song secretly eat some honey today? His mouth was so sweet…
“Alright, I really have to go Bye” Song Nanchuan gave her a goodbye kiss and then boarded the plane with Xiao Zhang
Pei Ying watched as his figure disappeared before walking off on her own
Song Nanchuan’s driver had sent the outside When he saw Pei Ying exit the airport, he politely asked, “Ms Pei, where would you like to go?”
Pei Ying thought for a moment and then asked, “Take me back to my apartment”
“Okay,” the driver responded Bathed in the sunlight, the car headed toward its destination unhurriedly
Pei Ying’s phone suddenly sounded She pulled it out and looked to see that Yu Kaize had sent her a e
Speaking of Yu Kaize, she still had rather s with him When she first met him on the set of LSRR, she’d kept her distance, but Yu Kaize had very naturally added her on Weixin chat
Yu Kaize’s coroup chat, whether intentional or otherwise, inevitablythink too much But still, he’d ood so that neither felt uncomfortable
She opened her Weixin er to see his latest news
[Yu Kaize] Universe Pictures bought the fil In the Beautiful Sunshi+ne (DIBS) We’re in the , and the female lead hasn’t been set yet Are you interested in auditioning?
Pei Ying was a bit surprised It’s true that Yu Kaize had previously mentioned that he would help look out for scripts for her, but after her relationshi+p with Song Nanchuan went public, she figured that he wouldn’t help her anymore Unexpectedly, he’d reached out to her pretty quickly
Should she say that his EQ was high or that he was actually a decent guy?
In any case, thedidn’t often read novels, but she had definitely heard about this novel before
DIBS’ original author was Nan Feng Liang, a new roained popularity in the last two years She only had two published works, but they both captured lots of readers and sold extremely well
To use the current slang, it was a big IP (Note: I believe IP is in reference to “intellectual property,” and the terinal work that would be expected to rake in a lot of hts)
This was definitely the best opportunity that Pei Ying had met with in her time in the entertainment industry If she were cast as the female lead in this movie, her popularity would skyrocket
She held her phone and considered it, and then she replied to Yu Kaize, “Thank you very er about it and try to get the role”
[Yu Kaize] Okay
Pei Ying looked at his “Okay,” and she started to wonder if e after crossing the river? But in the future, in allhim
But if she left it like this, it meant that she still owed him
She thought about it for awhile, and then sent another o out to eat with Tao Tao My treat this time -”
Well, although Pei Ying didn’t much like Tao Tao, she was still quite useful in these kinds of situations
Again, Yu Kaize just responded with a simple okay
She didn’t continue trying to guess at this young master’s intentions In any case, she would treat him to a meal to pay hier and gave Chen Sheng a call
He answered quickly Chen Sheng asked, “Xiao Pei ah, what is it?”
Pei Ying responded, “GM Chen, I heard that Dancing In the Beautiful Sunshi+ne is currently holding auditions for its fe if I could participate?”
Chen Sheng was quiet a htly taken aback The news that Universe Pictures had bought the rights for DIBS hadn’t gone public yet, and the casting was now progressing secretly They were planning on announcing the casting and the news about theheard about it?
But in this business, everyone had their own network The fact that she’d already heard about the news justNanchuan tell her? The ht about it, theot the news about itto audition for the role”
Pei Ying’s eyes trehtly Indeed, GM Chen had only notified Tao Tao about it Although she was currentlywas still partial towards Tao Tao
Tao Tao wasparticularly unjust about his bias As normal, she asked, “Can each company only send one actor to participate?”
“Well, no…” Chen Sheng pondered for a bit Then he said to her, “I also heard that Li Sisi is participating in the auditions You know that this is a big IP, so the competition will be fierce… How about this I’ll send both of yours and Tao Tao’s information over It’ll be like double insurance Maybe one of you till be able to knockout Li Sisi”
“Okay, thank you, GM Chen”
“No need for thanks The production will screen through the data first and then send out notifications for the time and place of the audition Wait for my news”
“Okay” After Pei Ying hung up the phone, she finally let out a small breath
S for the role Li Sisi was a first tier star Called an otaku Goddess (?), she had more than ten million fans on Weibo
Pei Ying felt that, based on acting skill alone, she could beat out Li Sisi But when it came to popularity, she would lose in a flash
She let out a light sigh She decided not to think about that for now and instead, go to read the original DIBS novel
She spent two days and finished reading the novel That’s also when Chen Sheng notified her that both she and Tao Tao hadand could audition
The audition would take place in five days at Universe Pictures HQ Because the main character was a dancer, the audition included a dance portion
“The director said that they weren’t going to use a body double at all in the film and the actress has to film all the dance scenes So you’ll have to do a short dance at the audition” As Chen Sheng filled her in on the details, he also sent her the supplementary info in an email “I’ve already sent you the dance you’ll have to perforether by the dance instructors and everyone will perform the same dance for the audition”
“Okay” Pei Ying was sitting at her co’s email, she immediately opened it The video was only a , but for an actor who didn’t dance, it would still be considered a challenge
Pei Ying watched the video over roughly The dance instructors must have considered thatexperience and so thecircular motions was still quite difficult
“The director for the fil very nitpicky, so you’d best practice the dance well It will definitely play a large role in choosing the actress ”
“Okay, I will” Pei Ying had long ago heard about the famous Yi Feiyue Because he was rather a perfectionist when it came to his work, some of his words could be very harsh Some even called him the Qiao Yichen of the film industry
“Alright Your MV fil the dance for the next few days I’ve found a dance teacher already It’ll be easier to pick up if there’s so you”
“Ah, thank you, GM Chen”
“The dance teacher will be here for the next few days You and Tao Tao can both come when you have time”
“Oh, okay”
While Pei Ying’s preparations for her audition were in full swing here, Song Nanchuan was also carrying on with business in a far off place

He had athat lasted until 1 PM After walking out of the conference roo notes He would have to look over theain later
Xiao Zhang knew that the reason he was in such a rush to finish as so that they could take care of businesssooner But working without eating or drinking wasn’t healthy
Since the root of the issue was Pei Ying, he could only use Pei Ying to press his boss “CEO Song, when you left, Ms Pei specifically instructed for you to eat well”
Song Nanchuan, “…”
He looked down and laughed He looked over at Xiao Zhang and asked, “If I don’t eat well, are you going to report that to her?”
“I wouldn’t dare” Xiao Zhang lowered his head and behaved
Song Nanchuan was still s When they walked out of the elevator, he said, “Let’s go have lunch Restaurants should still be open”
He and Xiao Zhang went to a Western style restaurant that they often frequented By the ti Nanchuan was friends with the owner, the kitchen kept working to serve him
“TheNanchuan’s dish was personally served by the head chef They’d known each other forNanchuan’s favorite chef
“Thank you” Song Nanchuan picked up his knife and fork and had a bite His eyes paused and changed slightly “Indeed, the ace of …”
He subconsciously raised his head, wanting Pei Ying to have a taste as well But he suddenly found that there was no one in front of him
Xiao Zhang pretended that he didn’t hear anything and continued sitting quietly beside the CEO, almost as if he didn’t even exist
When Song Nanchuan realized that he was in a foreign country, his eyes dimmed He continued to eat his lobster but didn’t seem to have much of an appetite anymore
Uncertain of the situation, the head chef re, the chef thought that there , is there a problem with the lobster?”
Song Nanchuan lifted his head and smiled “No, it’s delicious”
So delicious that he very
He took a photo and sent it to Pei Ying “I’ next time, you’ll definitely like it”
When Pei Ying woke up at 7:30 in theNanchuan had sent her a photo of lobster at 1 AM
Pei Ying, “…”
Reporting so early in the , huh
