Chapter 53 part 2

Just before she signed, Xia Shutong inexplicably hesitated.

If Yun Feiwu took on “Trajectory,” there would be numerous benefits and no harm, but the problem was that it was a lesbian film. Moreover, there were quite a few explicit scenes in the script.

And Xia Shutong had heard that Director Hua had always pursued perfection in this aspect, seeking authenticity.

In Xia Shutong’s heart there was some sourness.

Yun Feiwu had been in the industry for so many years and had filmed so many movies, but until now she had not taken on any film of this nature, not even a kissing scene.

It wasn’t that Yun Feiwu was unprofessional, but rather that the films she had made as a child had left a deep impression on the audience and directors.

Even though Yun Feiwu was almost twenty-four now and constantly breaking new ground in films, in the subconscious minds of many viewers, she was still the little girl from years ago.

It was like being a father who cared about his own daughter, unwilling to see his daughter in love with a scumbag. Even though the daughter had already grown up, they still didn’t want to see her in a bold relationship. The audience and fans knew that Yun Feiwu had already grown up, but if they were to see her making any bold moves on the screen, it would still feel unfamiliar.

…

Hua Zinan’s smile noticeably slowed down. “President Xia, are you saying you want to act in a movie?”

Xia Shutong nodded, the playful look in her eyes disappeared, and she became serious.

“I have heard of bosses who publish their own books, but this is the first time I’ve met someone who wants to act in a movie. And on top of that, most actors would love to be their own boss, but President Xia, you actually want to become an actor?” Hua Zinan shook her head with a smile. “President Xia, you truly have your own unique ideas.”

“To be honest with you,” Xia Shutong earnestly looked at Hua Zinan while tightly holding hands with Yun Feiwu, “I have always had some interest in acting since I was young. Even when I was little, I used to imitate moves from TV. Unfortunately, due to family circumstances, I never had the opportunity. Later, when I took over the company, I had even less time. But now, compared to before, I have a bit more free time, so I have this idea to give it a try.”

Hua Zinan’s smile was faint, yet her attention remained focused on Xia Shutong’s face.

Xia Shutong did resemble Ke Yu by about seventy to eighty percent in appearance, although their temperament was completely different. But when Hua Zinan saw Xia Shutong walking in through the door, especially when he saw her pair of watery, delicate, and captivating eyes, a voice emerged in Hua Zinan’s mind:

“This is Ke Yu!”

The woman in the story may seem as delicate as a cotton flower, but she possesses hidden schemes and is ruthless and cold-blooded.

If this person was not President Xia of Wutong… but truly the way Hao Zinan picture her, as a new actress, with just that she has already made up her mind.

However, this person is Xia Shutong, the CEO of Wutong. The big boss suddenly decides to leave the company management and says she wants to act. No matter how you look at it, it’s strange. Even though Hao Zinan listened to Xia Shutong’s explanation, she still feels that something is off.

But Hao Zinan can also tell that President Xia is serious. For a moment, she can’t help but feel a little troubled.

In her inner conflict, Hao Zinan suddenly notices Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu holding hands tightly.

Both girls have slender and fair fingers with clearly defined joints, a visually pleasing type. As their hands interlace, there is a strange sense of beauty.

Hao Zinan is a director and naturally has good imagination. Just from these two hands, she vaguely feels that she has seen something.

At this moment, Yun Feiwu’s fingers casually scratched Xia Shutong’s palm.

Xia Shutong’s veins on the back of her hand bulged for a moment and instantly subsided.

From Huo Zinan’s perspective, she couldn’t see their subtle interaction, but she definitely felt a vague and ambiguous atmosphere.

It was like in “Trajectory,” when Shu Jinyu and Ke Yu held hands for the first time. It had that secretive yet tantalizing feeling.

Huo Zinan even had a momentary illusion: If Yun Feiwu is Shu Jinyu, then the person holding her hand must be Ke Yu.

Huo Zinan shifted her gaze away from their hands. “Give it a try.”

Xia Shutong raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Huo Zinan smiled. “President Xia, what I mean is, let’s do an audition right here. Is that okay?”

Initially, Xia Shutong had prepared a speech to persuade Huo Zinan, but she didn’t expect her to agree to an audition so quickly.

Xia Shutong’s and Yun Feiwu’s fingers gripped a little tighter. She suppressed her joy and nodded.

Huo Zinan opened the script and pointed. “It’s this scene. President Xia, you haven’t acted before, so let Yun Yun guide you. I’ll give you both 30 minutes to prepare. Is that all right?”

Usually, actors have a day or two to prepare before an audition. So, for a newcomer like Xia Shutong with no acting experience, half an hour of preparation time was quite demanding.

However, Xia Shutong didn’t hesitate and nodded again. “Of course, that’s fine. In fact, I’m grateful to Director Huo for giving me this opportunity.”

“Then I’ll go out for some fresh air and come back in 30 minutes.” Huo Zinan clapped her hands, smiling, and left.

Once Huo Zinan left, Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu each held one side of the script and started reading.
