Chapter 76: Chapter 76 My Dream is to Become a Top Influencer in Hua Country Chapter 76: Chapter 76 My Dream is to Become a Top Influencer in Hua Country The whole crew was nice to her, except Yuan Feng, who only had a good impression of Jiang Leyi.
He was indifferent to everyone else.
Su Ran thought simply, one more friend meant another path. Their status wasn’t high now, but if one of them made it big in the future, maybe they could lend a hand based on their past friendship.
Yuan Feng didn’t want to bother with her, but seeing her persist, he could only answer nonchalantly, “The crew paid out of pocket for everyone to have a medical check-up. Yiyi said she already had one, so she won’t go. By the way, Su Ran, what blood type are you?”
Su Ran twirled her slender fingers through the hair near her temples and smiled gently, “My blood type is quite special; I have P type blood, which is very rare nationwide.”
Yuan Feng’s pupils contracted, suppressing a hidden excitement.
He didn’t think it was rare, at least three cases had popped up around him including Su Ran.
He put on a warm smile again, “Then on the check-up day, I’ll call you, and we can go together.”
Su Ran nodded eagerly, “Okay, Teacher Yuan.”
Yuan Feng didn’t show any warmth or eagerness towards Su Ran, just nodded and quickly left.
Su Ran put on a small smile.
See, no one can reject her.
…
The wrap party was on the fifth floor of the restaurant, and the online drama crew had reserved a private room at the very end.
When Jiang Leyi arrived, it was already bustling with conviviality.
Seeing Jiang Leyi come in, nobody greeted her, only a few male actors who ignored her cold demeanor, smiled at her, and called out to her.
Jiang Leyi just nodded politely.
[Eh? I remember you’re supposed to get along with everyone to climb up the ladder, to be a sociable and adaptable person. What’s going on here? Don’t you care about your career anymore?]
Hearing Jiang Nanshu’s perplexed jabber.
Jiang Leyi’s heart was filled with bitterness.
She had begun to take a liking to several male actors.
Because of family reasons, because Jiang Nanshu looked down on her, and because of awkwardness regarding her status, she wouldn’t go home to cause trouble as Jiang Nanshu would surely throw a tantrum, disturbing the peace of the household.
So she reduced the frequency of her visits home, only returning when Mrs. Jiang asked her to, and she would avoid times when she might encounter Jiang Nanshu.
Lacking in security, she had fallen deeply under the extra care of these male actors.
But just when it came to dating, why was she pua’d so miserably!
Director Chen of the campus web drama took to Jiang Nanshu at first sight, mainly because of the girl’s stunning looks. Seeing her face, the image of a femme fatale sprang clearly to mind—he was sure she would be a hit in such roles.
He rarely offered a smile to Jiang Leyi, “Le Yi, who have you brought with you?”
Jiang Leyi saw right through what Director Chen was up to; he wasn’t a good guy.
So she replied with polite laughter, “Director Chen, this is my sister. She’s particularly curious about the entertainment industry, so I brought her along to have a look.”
[Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not curious at all! But, is this Director Chen the one about to tread the sewing machine in prison?]
Jiang Leyi: “!!!”
Was this a melon she should know about?!
Jiang Nanshu put on an obedient smile and blurted out, “Yes, my sister is right. I really want to break into the entertainment industry. Director, do you think I have what it takes? My dream is to become top-tier in Hua Country. Do you think it’s possible within a year?”
The crowd: “…”
In a year?
Dream bigger during the daydreams – they’re faster!
Because of Jiang Nanshu’s rash comments, Director Chen’s interest in her faded a bit. Though she certainly had the looks to rocket to fame, being a mere vase was useless – she was just another one whose ambitions reached the skies.
Really thought the entertainment industry was easy to break into, huh?
Some stars had to struggle at the bottom for years before slowly climbing to the A-list, not to mention the almost nonexistent few who became top-streamers right from debut!
Unless they were the kind that Heaven chased around with a meal ticket.
Disdain was nearly spilling out from everyone’s eyes.
Someone even laughed out loud, “Sister, if you say things like that, you’re going to make people laugh their teeth out. Becoming a top star in Hua Country is not that easy, maybe avoid such talk next time. Top star within a year? I wouldn’t even dare to dream of it.”
Who here didn’t have deeper experience than Jiang Nanshu?
In their eyes, Jiang Nanshu was just a greenhorn.
“Tch,” Jiang Nanshu scoffed, “Cowards. I dare to dream it. I just lack the opportunity, sigh, I knew it, I should have dropped out. School’s holding back my fame.”
At this moment, Su Ran walked in, greeted everyone with a smile, then said with a light smile, “Jiang Nanshu, I heard you ranked first in your whole school during high school, is that true?”
Jiang Leyi immediately defended her sister with vigor, “What does her academic performance have to do with you? Mind your own business.”
Su Ran was not offended, “I just think, whether she drops out or not, it doesn’t really matter. Tomorrow I’m enrolling at Jing University, Jiang Nanshu, hope your talent is as strong as your talk.”
Jiang Leyi was speechless.
Trying to highlight there’s nothing commendable about Jiang Nanshu academically?
Su Ran used to be an academic overachiever, second only to Lu Qingyan.
If she hadn’t gone abroad suddenly, she might have attended college with Lu Qingyan, and perhaps they would have ended up married with kids after graduation.
Jiang Nanshu replied with a grin, “Sure thing, I’ll be waiting for you.”
Jiang Leyi, “…Can you really handle it?”
Jiang Nanshu gave her a perplexed look, lowering her voice, “How can a woman admit defeat? Don’t worry, with the spirit of a top scorer possessed, I’ll definitely roll over her from the roots up!”
“…”
Su Ran shifted her gaze away and towards Yuan Feng, speaking softly, “Teacher Yuan, there are no seats over there, how about sitting next to me?”
Yuan Feng did not decline and happily accepted.
Su Ran then provocatively glanced at Jiang Leyi.
The man orbiting her was swiftly coaxed over to the other side with just a few words.
[What kind of ridiculous plot is this, oh, almost forgot, Su Ran also has Type P blood. Jiang Leyi used to do double duty, donating blood as Bai Yueguang to Yuan Feng, and also giving blood for the often-injured and bleeding Su Ran, ugh, how did this crummy story shift to favor Su Ran].
Jiang Nanshu was puzzled to the extreme.
Jiang Leyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as long as no one treated her like a blood production machine, that was good…
Neither of them stood out among the crowd, and with others intentionally giving them the cold shoulder, Jiang Leyi could only find Jiang Nanshu to chat with.
She cleared her throat, glanced at Director Chen, and feigned nonchalance, “What do you think of Director Chen? He hasn’t had much success with his films, isn’t very famous, but has a decent reputation. He’s got a period drama in the works, looking for actors.”
Jiang Nanshu watched Director Chen hobnobbing with Su Ran and nodded along with Jiang Leyi’s comment, “Wow, really? So what do you think about me playing the female lead in his next film?”
Jiang Leyi, “…”
Never mind the female lead, they ought to give you the award for Best Actress.
[Hehe, doesn’t matter if I’m not famous now, in a few days, I’ll be a big name. If I remember correctly, Director Chen is about to entice Su Ran, then get discovered by Lu Qingyan, who protects Su Ran and personally sends Director Chen to jail.]
