After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 82 - 0: Outshining the Female Protagonist

"I’m Shen Yan, it’s very nice to meet Mr. Li here."

Miss Shen still had some good feelings about Mr. Li, as he had helped her in that situation.

Director Li smiled and shook her hand, "Director Li mentioned that there’s a young actress with great acting skills in the crew; I came to observe!"

"Mr. Li, are you especially here for a cameo?" Xiao Zhao asked eagerly from the side.

Li Yanbai nodded, "I owe Director Li a favor; he needed someone to save the scene, so I came over."

He had said he didn’t want to act in TV dramas anymore.

The exception was made only after Tao Rongye’s incident.

It was just a few cameo scenes; how many minutes would remain after the editing didn’t much concern him.

Li Yanbai also knew some about the incident of Xinyu hitting Tao Rongye.

Although it was his first time meeting Shen Yan, Li Yanbai was very friendly toward her.

"Director Li exaggerated. Don’t listen to everything, Mr. Li. However, I’ve heard that your acting is recognized as excellent in the entertainment industry! I hope to learn a thing or two from you."

Shen Yan also knew how to speak pleasantly.

In the entertainment industry, people talk differently according to whom they are talking to; no one can really tell what’s true or not.

Hearing this, Li Yanbai smiled at Shen Yan, "Young people these days are very diligent; even I have to admit it."

Shen Yan smiled back.

Mu Jincheng, standing at the back, was completely ignored. Watching the two chatting and laughing, his frown deepened.

Li Yanbai had heard some gossip about Shen Yan and Mu Jincheng before coming, but seeing the two now, they didn’t seem to be involved as the rumors suggested.

He could only lament how powerful the rumor mill in the entertainment industry was in twisting the truth.

Following this, Li Yanbai took Shen Yan for a walk behind the set and introduced her to several veteran actors.

Shen Yan, being led around, glanced at Li Yanbai a few times.

She didn’t reject the goodwill that Li Yanbai was showing.

After finishing a scene, Chu Jinghe found Mu Jincheng and saw Shen Yan mingling well with Li Yanbai and the others.

She couldn’t help but frown, "Shen Yan is impressive. Right when she arrives, she mingles well with the likes of Mr. Li."

Hearing this, Mu Jincheng looked even more displeased.

"Some people know how to curry favor," Mu Jincheng looked away from them and towards Chu Jinghe, "Did you finish filming today’s scenes?"

Chu Jinghe nodded, "I’ll go say hello to Shen Yan."

Mu Jincheng wanted to say something but swallowed his words and nodded to her.

How could Chu Jinghe watch idly as Shen Yan stole her limelight, when before Shen Yan’s arrival, everyone’s attention was on her?

Once Shen Yan arrived, she was nearly ignored.

This made Chu Jinghe increasingly uneasy.

"Shen Yan, I heard you went back to school and thought you’d come after a few days."

When Chu Jinghe arrived, everyone smiled and pulled out a chair for her to sit.

Having the attention back on herself, Chu Jinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

She thanked the senior who pulled out the chair before sitting down demurely, and she specifically smiled and nodded at Li Yanbai.

Li Yanbai neither disliked nor liked Chu Jinghe; when she greeted him, he naturally responded.

"You’re still in school," Li Yanbai turned to look at Shen Yan upon hearing Chu Jinghe.

"I took a leave," Shen Yan glanced at Chu Jinghe.

"With the elder sister tone," Chu Jinghe asked, "Can you keep up with that?"

"There won’t be any impact."

"What year is Shen Yan in?" asked one of the veteran actors playing Chu Jinghe’s mother, pulling her chair closer to Shen Yan.

"Second year."

"What a coincidence! My daughter is also in her second year! Which school does Yanyan attend?" With these words, she brought the two closer together.

"Shencheng University."

"Yanyan is better than my daughter, who’s a sophomore in college and still a bit rebellious—it’s driving me crazy..."

Chu Jinghe was squeezed aside a bit and watched the other two grow increasingly enthusiastic, her body becoming stiffer and stiffer.

Others also chimed in from time to time, completely ostracizing Chu Jinghe to the edge.

The film crew had booked a hotel nearby, where all the crew members were staying.

The financier, a formidable dad, had chosen a high-standard hotel.

Shen Yan was staying on the fifth floor, Room 506.

Coincidentally, Chu Jinghe was in Room 508, and Li Yanbai was in 507!

The room numbers were arranged alternately left and right.

Thus, Chu Jinghe was staying next to Shen Yan and Li Yanbai across from her.

Mu Jincheng’s floor was unknown to Shen Yan.

Liu Su would be with the crew for a week to make sure everything was fine with Shen Yan before he left.

Xiao Zhao stayed in the back rooms.

Seeing how the accommodations were arranged by the crew, Liu Su felt much more relieved.

As long as Mu Jincheng wasn’t on this floor, nobody else mattered.

As Liu Su left Shen Yan’s room, he found an opportunity and said to her, "Sir has blocked me; I’ll need Miss Shen to personally relay the situation here to him later."

Shen Yan, "Are there any issues here?"

Liu Su, "..."

*

Shen Yan’s part was scheduled last, but she still went to the set the next morning to observe and learn.

She even received some compliments from Li Yanbai, who was there for a cameo.

Shen Yan felt no pride. To her, just a little effort could bring her achievements beyond her wildest dreams. She was truly content.

"I see everyone brought quite a few assistants, why do you only have one?" Li Yanbai, having seen Shen Yan’s popularity data and knowing Xinyu was promoting her, was surprised to see her with only Xiao Zhao.

These days, every somewhat famous star likes to put on airs, always surrounded by a myriad of assistants.

"One is enough," Shen Yan replied, glancing in a direction where an actress playing the second female lead—quite famous, rumored to have thrown tantrums before even arriving, getting a lecture from Director Li.

"Young actors like you are rare."

Li Yanbai appreciated Shen Yan even more.

Young and beautiful but neither arrogant nor restless.

Though they had never acted together before, anyone praised by Director Li must be exceptional.

Others would have become arrogant by now.

But Shen Yan was different; she possessed a unique steadiness!

Tonight, there would be a major scene.

Playing the third lead, Shen Yan entered Beijing accompanying the male protagonist. Not only did she run into the female lead played by Chu Jinghe right after entering, but she also conflicted with another group familiar to the city.

Shen Yan dressed as a man, her clothes not of great quality, her hair tied back with just a headband, a sword in hand.

Her entire getup was neat and striking.

Shen Yan’s skin was too fair, so the makeup artist she brought added a layer of powder to make her skin look more yellow.

Even so, standing next to the ladylike Chu Jinghe, she still stood out.

Seeing this, Director Li requested the makeup artist to tone down Shen Yan’s makeup further while asking her to contain her aura.

Not to overshadow the female lead.

As Director Li announced this, Chu Jinghe, standing under the firelight, turned noticeably pale.

Her wide sleeves concealed her clenched fists, and her exquisite makeup couldn’t hide her collapsing demeanor.

Standing next to Mu Jincheng, Shen Yan saw Chu Jinghe’s reaction, silently pulling a wry smile.

Chu Jinghe just caught her expression, barely holding back from losing her composure.
