The two of them found a corner and sat down. Xia Qinghuan took out the script and started reading it again.

Chen Jin remained silent, silently observing the people around him.

“Brother Jin, Jian Ai said that she had plans for the first of May. Do you know where she went?” Xia Qinghuan suddenly looked up and asked.

Chen Jin shook his head when he heard that. “I don’t know. But her uncle is getting married today. She should be attending the wedding now. I don’t know what’s happening after that though.”

When Xia Qinghuan heard this, she nodded helplessly.

At that moment, there was a commotion in the lounge. Both were stunned and then instinctively looked up.

A girl in her early twenties walked into the lounge and was surrounded by four assistants.

The girl was tall and had long, flaxen hair, making her look very fashionable and pretty. She had the unique temperament of a celebrity, but there was some pride on her pretty face. She seemed to be looking straight ahead, but she was sizing up others with disdain from the corner of her eyes.

“He Jiayi!” Xia Qinghuan’s eyes lit up, and she looked excited.

Although He Jiayi was not an A-list actress, she was still a steady B-list actress. She debuted as a child star and acted in many popular television dramas. Almost everyone in the nation knew her.

Most importantly, He Jiayi had rich experience in acting and her skills were outstanding. Yun Buyao had just returned to the television screen, and with that, various entertainment agencies knew that this drama would become popular. They all fought for the second female lead in this drama, and the competition was very fierce.

In the end, Director Wang Yiming decided on He Jiayi himself.

She was a little proud, but He Jiayi did have the capital.

He Jiayi sat down on the chair in front of the mirror. The makeup artist quickly touched up her makeup while her assistant was attentive and handed her water and fed her fruits.

“Even He Jiayi doesn’t have her lounge?” Chen Jin whispered in surprise.

Xia Qinghuan had already asked about this matter before. She immediately explained, “Everyone in Director Wang Yiming’s drama would use a common lounge. The female lead this time is Yun Buyao, which is why there is a special exception.”

Chen Jin nodded in understanding when he heard this.

Just as the commotion caused by He Jiayi’s appearance had just calmed down, the stage supervisor quickly walked into the lounge. “The first scene will be filmed soon. Supporting actors, come to the scene quickly.”

Then, she said to He Jiayi, “Teacher Jiayi, yours is the second scene. Get ready.”

Without waiting for He Jiayi to answer, her manager nodded for her. “Got it.”

Everyone rushed out like a swarm of bees. Regardless of whether the first scene had anything to do with them or not, they were all excited.

Xia Qinghuan and Chen Jin were no exception. They followed everyone out of the lounge for no other reason than to see Yun Buyao.

In the blink of an eye, only He Jiayi and her team were left in the originally crowded lounge.

Dressed in a black suit, the thin manager, Sun Dong, pursed his lips in disdain when he saw this. He muttered in a low voice, “Tsk, I don’t know what’s there to see. They’ve never seen the world.”

Upon hearing that, the makeup artist said as she helped He Jiayi draw her eyebrows, “That’s right. When our Jiayi debuted, she was still nowhere to be seen.”

The personal assistant at the side also had a mocking look on her face. “Rumors are going around privately that Yun Buyao and Director Wang Yiming are having an affair. Tsk, tsk. How dirty.”

“Really?” The others looked surprised. Another assistant asked, “Isn’t Director Wang Yiming married?”
