Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

A short while later, Shi Wanmeng asked Huang Chen to leave the lounge under the pretext of needing to rest.

Huang Chen stopped arguing and obediently went back to his room to memorize his lines.

When the crew's assistant came to call Shi Wanmeng to wait for her turn, Huang Chen was already gone.

Shi Wanmeng followed her assistant to the scene and saw Huang Chen sitting next to Director He, looking very familiar with him.

Wang Yixi followed Shi Wanmeng's gaze and said mysteriously, "You saw it too? This is the actor I was talking about who's making a guest appearance. I've never seen him before, but he seems to know Director He quite well."

Her question left Shi Wanmeng momentarily speechless. After thinking for a moment, she decided to be honest.

"His name is Huang Chen."

Wang Yixi hadn't expected to get an answer from Shi Wanmeng, but after hearing her reply, she became curious: "You know her? Tell me about her!"

After thinking for a moment, Shi Wanmeng focused on the key points: "He is Professor Wang's student. Oh, you know Professor Wang, right?"

Wang Yixi nodded, understanding: "Then that must be Professor He's student."

"He seems pretty capable. How come I've never seen him before? Oh right, how do you know so much about him?"

Just when she thought she had successfully steered the conversation in the right direction, Wang Yixi's barrage of questions hit Shi Wanmeng's sore spot again.

"The company asked Professor Wang to mentor me."

"And then?" Wang Yixi persisted.

"That one, Huang Chen and I, you know, we were on the same variety show."

Shi Wanmeng spoke haltingly.

Wang Yixi narrowed her eyes: "I heard you're on a dating reality show?"

"Uh, yes."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Yixi became visibly excited: "Really? How's it going between you two? Have you taken a liking to anyone? Hehehehehe?"

Shi Wanmeng: "..."

Sister, where did this sudden gossipy and lewd vibe of yours come from?

Seeing that Shi Wanmeng did not answer, she was not in a hurry. She glanced at Huang Chen a couple more times, then turned her head and said earnestly, "I think he looks quite handsome. I'll take a closer look when we're rehearsing later."

"No," Shi Wanmeng said, sounding a little anxious, "Sister Yixi, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted: "Don't worry, I've been in this industry for over ten years. I've seen all kinds of people. I'll definitely help you vet them carefully. If this one doesn't work out, I'll introduce you to someone else later."

Shi Wanmeng: "..."

Sister, no, I'm not in a hurry, I didn't.

The production assistant started calling out to people through a megaphone. Wang Yixi gently patted her fair hand, her eyes shining with a firm and ambitious light, as if conveying boundless strength and confidence to her. Then, without hesitation, she turned around, her steps steady and powerful, and resolutely walked towards the camera in front of her.

Shi Wanmeng: "..."

Even if the person in the scene isn't you, you should still applaud her performance.

Huang Chen was also ready. He walked to the camera, found a good position, and waited to film. When he turned around, he saw Wang Yixi staring intently at him.

Unsure of her meaning, Huang Chen still politely stepped forward to greet her: "Hello, senior, I am Huang Chen."

Wang Yixi looked him up and down, then nodded with a hint of satisfaction.

Huang Chen: "?"

"Hello, no need to be so polite, you can just call me Sister Yixi."

"Stop with the small talk," came Director He's voice from the side. "You two, get your solo scene done first, and hurry up."

Wang Yixi playfully stuck out her tongue at Director He, then turned back to her serious expression and said to Huang Chen, "Come on."

Seeing her expression, Huang Chen also became serious.

Huang Chen plays a client from another company who comes to discuss business. The female lead and An Ru are responsible for receiving him, but they soon discover that this client has a bad temper.

Anru saw that this client came from a small company and probably wouldn't have much business. Not wanting to be mistreated, she made up an excuse and ran away, leaving the mess to Liang Xuewei alone.

Fortunately, Qin Fei, the male lead played by Fang Zihao, appeared in time to help Liang Xuewei stabilize the client, giving her time to organize the plan and ultimately successfully secure the business.

This business deal was much larger than previously estimated, successfully helping Liang Xuewei gain a foothold in the company and also bringing her closer to Qin Fei.

Shi Wanmeng sat in the back, watching the two act together, and suddenly understood why Professor Wang felt sorry for Huang Chen wasting his talent.

When filming scenes with Wang Yixi, she often felt very nervous, and she could never get rid of the oppressive feeling that her acting skills were being suppressed.

It took two days of filming to finally get used to things, but Huang Chen was surprisingly calm and collected as soon as he arrived, interacting with Wang Yixi quite well.

It's truly enviable, and makes one feel jealous and resentful.

"Good, good, cut!" Director He shouted several times, quite satisfied with the two actors' performance. "That's a wrap, get ready for the next scene!"

Staff members who didn't recognize Huang Chen started whispering among themselves, discussing who this person was.

After all, everyone knows that their director is very strict, so it's rare to see him praise them so frankly.

After the scene ended, Wang Yixi quickly returned to Shi Wanmeng's side and nodded repeatedly to her.

"I've examined him closely for you, and this young man is acceptable."

Still immersed in the tense scene between the two, Shi Wanmeng thought: "?"

Sis, weren't you just acting? Why are you still thinking about this?

No, it was just a performance. How did you come to the conclusion that he was good?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Yixi called her assistant over and took her phone: "What's the name of your variety show again? Let me search it up."

These words sent chills down Shi Wanmeng's spine. If she were a small animal, her fur would probably stand on end.

What kind of public execution is this?

Wang Yixi fiddled with her phone for a while, then waved it in front of her and said with a smug smile, "Hey, I found it!"

Seeing that she was pointing to a video edited by a fan of the "Shit and Yellow" couple, Shi Wanmeng instinctively grabbed her hand, feeling all the blood rush to her brain.

"Alright, come on, let's begin."

Director He's voice came from not far away, instantly rescuing her.

Shi Wanmeng quickly grabbed Wang Yixi's arm and was about to go over: "Come on, let's go, Yixi-jie, let's go, Director He is calling."

Since Qin Fei had scenes to film later, Fang Zihao, who had been waiting in the dressing room, was also called over. As soon as he appeared on set, Huang Chen's eyes followed him.

Director He called Fang Zihao over to give him acting instructions and guidance on positioning, and Huang Chen quietly moved closer.
