After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 84 - 0: Can We Add Another Friend?
Chapter 84: Chapter 084: Can We Add Another Friend?
Over the next few days, Chu Jinghe could only watch helplessly as Director Li took the initiative to give Shen Yan more scenes.
Li Yanbai’s scenes were finished, and he was about to leave the crew.
Seizing this opportunity, Director Li wanted to bring Li Yanbai back into the spotlight.
Li Yanbai’s cameo this time had indeed been a huge favor.
Next, Li Yanbai should be vying for the title of Best Actor.
Director Li also hoped to earn an opportunity to work with Li Yanbai.
"If Director Li ever makes a movie and has a good script, I’ll definitely support it!" Li Yanbai said with a smile, playing down the sentiment.
Director Li couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "My next project plans to have Song Xuan as the leading lady. That would be a chance for you two to collaborate, are you really not interested?"
Aside from Song Xuan herself, everyone close enough to Li Yanbai could see his fondness for her.
Li Yanbai shook his head and said nothing.
But he had made everything clear.
"I really don’t understand what you young people are up to. Forget it, there will be other chances to collaborate," Director Li patted his shoulder. "How about we have a party tonight to send you off?"
Li Yanbai let out a wry smile, "It’s not like I played an important role, what’s the point of all that?"
"Those young juniors want to learn from you, a senior. What now, you’re not giving them the chance?"
"Next time," Li Yanbai refused with a smile.
Afternoon.
Li Yanbai left the crew.
Before leaving, he added Shen Yan’s WeChat.
He also shared with Shen Yan that a top screenwriter was looking for a leading actress and he wanted to recommend her to try out for the role.
Shen Yan didn’t refuse such an opportunity.

Liu Su saw that things were wrapping up for Shen Yan, so he prepared to make a trip.
He had to go back and ask Qi Si to add him back as a friend.
He couldn’t stand idly by as the distance between the young couple grew wider, otherwise, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Before Liu Su could speak up, Shen Yan took the initiative, "Uncle Liu, prepare a computer for me."
"A computer?"
"I requested leave, but the school requires me to do my homework."
"What homework?"
"I’m majoring in computer science, what else would it be?"
Liu Su’s thoughts steered off track at the mention of the major, "Miss Shen plans to venture into hacking?"
Shen Yan glanced at him, "I wasn’t planning on it, but since Uncle Liu mentioned it, I’ll try my best."
Liu Su’s eyes instantly lit up and his gaze towards Shen Yan was filled with added surprise!
"I’ll prepare the best computer for Miss Shen right away!"
Liu Su immediately made a call to consult with professionals to learn what type of computer was needed for the field.
If he couldn’t find one, he would immediately have one assembled, a laptop with the best features in every aspect!
After searching around, Liu Su’s mind became more focused and he turned to call Qi Si.
After handling affairs in Beijing, Qi Si had stirred up quite a bit of a splash and was in a fairly good mood. He answered Liu Su’s call with a tone that wasn’t so cold, "What’s up?"
Liu Su gauged Qi Si’s mood from his tone and, confirming that Qi Si was feeling alright, he brought up the need for Shen Yan’s computer.
Qi Si: "Since it’s for her studies, I’ll take care of it."
With that assurance from Qi Si, Liu Su was relieved.
However...
"Sir, could we add each other as friends again?"
"..."
The call was already disconnected.
Liu Su: "!!!"

Unaware that Liu Su had lazily passed the task to Qi Si, Shen Yan was earnestly learning acting from the seasoned actors.
Chu Jinghe and the actress playing the second female lead followed suit.
Shen Yan received all sorts of praise, and not wanting to be outdone, they too gathered around the veterans, eagerly showing their willingness to learn.
This left Director Li somewhat baffled.
Because of this, even when Chu Jinghe later performed less well, Director Li refrained from scolding anyone.
The studying atmosphere that Shen Yan had initiated changed the mood of the entire crew.
Even Mu Jincheng had to secretly improve his acting skills, lest he be embarrassingly overshadowed by Shen Yan.
And so, Shen Yan passed several peaceful days.
The computer Qi Si had prepared for Shen Yan had also arrived at the film set.
After wrapping up her filming for the day, Liu Su delivered the brand new computer to Shen Yan’s hands, and didn’t forget to take some credit for Qi Si, "Mr. Qi found out about this and personally chose the best computer for Miss Shen! Miss Shen, see if it suits you."
Shen Yan felt a slight stir in her heart.
"Mr. Qi personally chose it?"
"Absolutely, his people said that for the sake of picking out this computer, he even neglected his work!" Liu Su hastened to speak highly of Qi Si, "Despite his cold demeanor, he’s really dedicated to anything concerning Miss Shen."
Shen Yan nodded, powering on the computer, "Please thank him for me, Uncle Liu, and transfer the cost of the computer from my account."
Her earnings from the commercial she shot should be no less than six figures.
"Do we really need to be so formal..."
"It’s only right, if he doesn’t accept, I’ll just buy a new one myself," Shen Yan said as she pushed the computer away.
"I’ll make the call right away," Liu Su had no other option but to transfer twenty thousand yuan to Qi Si’s account.
Receiving the transfer, Qi Si: "???"

Over a month of filming.
Shen Yan had learned a lot from the veteran actors in the crew, and she hadn’t neglected her schoolwork either.
Yet many things were still quite inconvenient.
Thinking of the girl in the same program, Shen Yan decided to ask for Lin Shuangxu’s contact information for easier communication about academic topics once the filming concluded.
Shen Yan’s role was coming to an end, and today was the final scene before wrap-up.
In the drama,
Shen Yan’s character died in front of the male lead, triggering a psychological change in him.
During Shen Yan’s last scene, Chu Jinghe observed from the outside throughout.
Over the past month, Chu Jinghe could see Shen Yan’s acting improving day by day.
Mu Jincheng watched Shen Yan "die" right before his eyes, the shock of that moment didn’t require any acting.
Because he was completely engrossed.
Shen Yan’s performance completely immersed all those present into their characters.
Such a compelling force, even Director Li’s breath grew softer.
Watching Shen Yan lying on the ground, bloodied, Mu Jincheng stiffened, halting his breathing.
His expression and reaction bore no trace of acting.
It couldn’t be more real.
"Cut!"
The instant Director Li called cut, Shen Yan completed her role.
Lying on the ground, Shen Yan immediately got up.
Xiao Zhao ran over, wiping the fake blood from Shen Yan’s face.
"Yanyan! Your performance was really incredible, I truly thought you were dying just then!" Xiao Zhao’s voice trembled.
"It’s just acting."
"Even though I know it’s acting, I still felt terrible!"
"Shen Yan, congratulations on wrapping up!" Several seasoned actors couldn’t bear to part with Shen Yan.
In the entertainment industry, it was rare to come across a young person who worked as hard as Shen Yan.
She wasn’t fussy, was humble and ambitious, and most importantly, genuine!
Even though Shen Yan was beautiful and could easily rely on her looks, she chose to depend on her talent instead!
Who wouldn’t like such a young person?
Mu Jincheng, who took a while to come to his senses, watched Shen Yan surrounded by people and squinted slightly. When everyone dispersed, he approached, "Congratulations on wrapping up."
Shen Yan nodded.
In this past month, Mu Jincheng had realized that Shen Yan truly had no romantic interest in him, an awareness that left him with mixed feelings.
Yet, he still believed in his choice; he entered the entertainment circle for Chu Jinghe, and that wasn’t changing.
Shen Yan bid farewell to the crew, and that afternoon, Liu Su came to pick her up and leave the set.
Inside the car.
Liu Su turned off his phone and turned to Shen Yan, "Miss Shen, are you planning to rest for a few days or do you have other arrangements?"
"Back to school," Shen Yan asked, "Has the company lined up any other gigs for me?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Not exactly, but there’s been interest in a pretty good drama coming up," Liu Su wanted to take on potential projects for Shen Yan, but this drama involved romantic scenes.
"I’m not taking any new roles for now, I’ll just head straight back to school."
Liu Su actually breathed a sigh of relief that Shen Yan wasn’t taking the role.
There was nothing wrong with prioritizing education.
