Chapter 80
perspective,Han Bi was indeed a fine actress.It seemed that she was conscientious, diligent, and had a natural talent for acting."Nuannuan, what do you think" Cheng Anya suddenly asked Nuannuan besid...Chapter 80
In recent days, he was ordered to return home. His senior sister-in-law and nieces and nephews came back home as well. Ye San and Cheng Anya invited him to stay at their place. Since that day, he hadn’t seen Warm anymore. According to Cai Xiaojing’s report, she had been performing excellently on set.
Director Zhang was quite impressed with her. He had heard of this director before; he was a straightforward person and wouldn't praise someone unless they deserved it. For Warm to receive his approval, there must be something substantial about her. Thinking about Warm’s usual demeanor made Ye Feimo couldn’t help but smile.
He wondered how she would act while performing.
Suddenly, he really wanted to see a work of hers.
Ye Feimo turned on his computer and found three commercials that Warm had starred in so far. There were two music videos and several posters as well. He also downloaded the first episode teaser of Princess Qinglian. It looked pretty good; she was by far the most suitable actress for ancient costumes that he had ever seen, looking ethereal and otherworldly. However...
Young Master Ye’s brows furrowed together. The male lead in the video seemed to be getting more and more irritating.
How could this guy stand next to his stupid little sister Did he actually kiss her
Young Master Ye was furious!
The director had announced that they would have to work overtime tonight. A bunch of actors were looking miserable, hoping for the director’s mercy. Unfortunately, Director Zhang remained as hardhearted as ever and declared decisively: “Overtime!”
Warm wanted to cry; she hadn’t returned home at night in two days.
She already missed her comfy big bed at home.
The crew was racing against time, exhausted beyond measure. Being an actor wasn't something you could do alone; they were too tired. Viewers usually only saw the glamorous image of actors on screen or their appearances at various events in fancy clothes, without realizing how much effort went into every single shot behind the scenes.
She already didn’t get more than six hours of sleep a day under normal circumstances. These past few days had been even worse; she was only getting two to three hours of sleep each day. She basically fell asleep as soon as her eyes closed and would be woken up by the director immediately, leaving dark circles that were impossible to hide unless she applied lots of powder.
After finishing her own acting scenes during the day, she still has many training sessions to attend. Soon, she will be shooting an advertisement for Anning International's 5203 series of jewelry. The director of the jewelry department said that they need to cultivate her氣質 (qi zhi).
When Cai Xiaojing sent over warm photos, the director slammed his desk and said that she wasn't elegant, noble, or charismatic enough to shoot Anning International's jewelry advertisement.
Warm was so infuriated upon hearing this that she cursed him.
"Damn it, you were the one who selected me for the ad. How could you say I don't meet the requirements Why did you choose her in the first place"
Cai Xiaojing couldn’t tell her that it was her owner who chose her.
To cultivate her氣質 (qi zhi), Cai Xiaojing specially had someone teach her ballet, enrolled her in specialized courses, and hired a professional image designer to teach her how to walk and smile. Warm was so exhausted from all this training that she couldn’t even laugh anymore.
At dinner time recently, Warm had lost quite some weight due to being slim already and having been overly tired with poor rest in recent times. This fit Cai Xiaojing’s aesthetic requirements perfectly, saving her the trouble of asking Warm to lose weight.
This meal was meant to reward Warm for her hard work over these few days. Cai Xiaojing had prepared braised pork balls, pork ribs, and cod fillets—a feast indeed. Warm's mouth watered at the sight as she was about to dig in when Cai Xiaojing received a call from Cheng Anya.
"Xiaojing, bring Warm to the top floor café of Milan Spring for dinner," Cheng Anya said with a smile. "I would like to treat her." Cai Xiaojing wondered if Anning International’s chairwoman was particularly fond of Warm
She responded affirmatively before Cheng Anya added, "Oh yes, make sure she looks beautiful and elegant when you bring her over. I want to see a Warm who steals the show."
Cai Xiaojing looked sideways at someone drooling over the feast and thought, “Steal the show Mrs. Ye, this is asking too much.”
"... Yes, Madam."
Warm didn’t care about Cai Xiaojing; she had calls and appointments all day long as well as promotions to attend to. She picked up a braised pork ball and put it in her mouth. Recently, she felt like she was being mistreated.
The meals weren't properly eaten, and that perverted director even said she had good身材, but her face was a bit chubby like an infant's, so she must lose weight. This caused Cai Xiao Jing to feed her only cabbage and tofu every day, making her crave meat.
Right as this braised lion’s head meatball was about to be sent into her mouth, Cai Xiao Jing interrupted her. Wen Ran blinked her eyes, thinking that Cai Xiao Jing suddenly thought she still had a chubby face and wouldn't let her eat it. She felt heartbroken.
Cai Xiao Jing saw her expression and thought of Cheng Anya mentioning elegance. Good heavens, could a girl who was drooling over pork be elegant
"What's wrong"
"Don't eat, Madam Ye wants to see you." Cai Xiao Jing pulled Wen Ran up. She called out to Director Zhang, "Director Zhang, Wen Ran has something going on, I'll take her away first. It won’t be a problem for me to let you practice with her until late tomorrow night."
Director Zhang was quite good towards Cai Xiao Jing and Wen Ran and didn't mind it at all. Cai Xiao Jing pulled Wen Ran out of the set.
"Xiao Jing, can we eat first" Wen Ran rubbed her stomach; she was really hungry. She then felt indignant, "I only ate one bread today, you can’t treat me like this."
Cai Xiao Jing said, "Going hungry is good, if you’re full and wear the evening gown, it’ll show your belly, be a good girl."
Wen Ran lowered her eyes to look at her flat stomach again and was about to cry once more, "..."
She seemed like an aggrieved puppet as Cai Xiao Jing dragged her to get her makeup done. She put on a purple low-cut evening gown, picked out a pair of purple crystal high heels, and put jewelry and accessories on her. As soon as she was dressed up, as long as Wen Ran didn’t look aggrieved, she would be a dazzling lady with noble grace standing tall and surpassing everyone else.
Wen Ran’s face really suited any color; whatever temperament they wanted to give her, they could make it happen. Moreover, during this period of time, she had learned an entire bunch of etiquette and image classes that weren’t just for fun.
In a critical moment, they would be very useful.
Halfway through the process, Cheng Anya urged them once, but Cai Xiao Jing originally wanted to let her change into a black evening gown to see which one looked better. However, there was no time left, and she dragged Wen Ran like this to the top floor of Milan Spring.
Warm was puzzled, wondering if this was another party she was supposed to attend.
Was there going to be food at the party
Her stomach had been growling for quite some time now. Senior Sister Cai, did you not hear it
She looked pitiful as she was dragged by Cai Xiaoqing to the top floor of Milan Spring. She initially thought there would be a party, but upon arrival, she found that the café on the top floor had been booked out; only Cheng Anya and a beautiful woman in a fiery red dress were present.
"Tsks tsks, Xiaoqing, you really did an excellent job this time. What do you think" Cheng Anya turned to ask Xu Nuo beside her.
"Very pretty, very stunning," Xu Nuo nodded. Cheng Anya smiled and beckoned Warm over; Cai Xiaoqing raised an eyebrow, extremely puzzled. She had thought there would be a party as well, so she had dressed up Warm beautifully. Now seeing that it wasn’t the case, she was even more confused.
"Xiaoqing, not bad, exactly what I wanted." Cheng Anya smiled and both of them sat down. Cheng Anya then introduced Xu Nuo to Warm, who immediately looked at Cai Xiaoqing when she heard that Xu Nuo was the eldest Missus of the Ye family.
The title of Chief Inspector of the International Anti-Terrorism Organization had a lot of clout and威懾力這個詞語在翻譯時可以使用其英文直譯"intimidation power"，但根據上下文更合適的是用“prestige”或“clout”。考慮到整句話的流暢性和專業性，“prestige”更為貼切。因此修改後的句子如下：The prestigious title of Chief Inspector of the International Anti-Terrorism Organization carries significant prestige, and since the Ye family also has connections to the underworld, having a member of their household be from the white-collar world is quite incongruous.國際反恐組織最高督察，這麼有聲望的名號是有很大震懾力的，葉家也有黑道生意，而葉家的兒媳婦卻是白道的，非常違和。
Warm had never met her before. She thought that an inspector from the anti-terrorism organization would be a tall, muscular woman at the very least, only to find out upon meeting Xu Nuo that she was even more glamorous than international stars.
The beauty of her face was unmatched by most actresses Warm knew; it was truly breathtaking.
She looked stunning from afar and even more eye-catching up close.
Cai Xiaoqing couldn’t help but mutter to herself that everyone in the Ye family was obsessed with looks, from the old generation to the young, all were beautiful men and women.
"Mrs. Ye, Senior Missus of the eldest Mr. Ye, uh… what do you want from me" Warm asked nervously, not knowing where to put her hands. After all, she was still a young girl, unlike Cheng Anya who had seen much in life and remained calm and composed, having experienced everything under the sun. Nor did she have the innate regal aura of Xu Nuo who lived through danger and death. In comparison with these two women, Warm appeared to be an innocent little girl.upted.However, when the doors opened at their destination, there was no one inside.The killers exchanged puzzled glances...Thirty minutes later, a woman with neatly tied hair walked out of the casino...
