Chapter 385: Chapter 386: Confrontation

Xie Jiahui extended her hand and shook Wilson’s arm, cooingly said, "Uncle, it’s okay if she doesn’t know how; besides, Jinxia has a dance foundation, so learning would definitely yield twice the result with half the effort. She will definitely have no problem, and moreover..."

Xie Jiahui’s eyes darted around and said, "Your standards are too high. Think about it, among the popular actresses now, which one is a ballet dancer?"

"Huaxia venerates ancient culture. Now, whenever a family has a daughter who wants to dance, they mostly go for classical dance. It’s even hard to find someone to teach Western ballet, let alone..."

Xie Jiahui’s eyes shifted again, and a spark of inspiration flashed through her mind, said, "Even ballet dance classes in Huaxia are very rare now. There are not many dance institutions in Huaxia offering ballet courses anymore."

Wilson furrowed his brows: "Why not open them?"

Xie Jiahui spoke with utter straightforwardness, "They can’t continue running, no one wants to learn, dance training institutions would starve."

He Jinxia glanced at Xie Jiahui, feeling utterly speechless inside.

Jiahui, how could you deceive such a naive and kind foreigner who has never been to Huaxia? Is this really okay?

Under Xie Jiahui’s persistent persuasion, Wilson’s thoughts wavered a bit, but he still held his ground and didn’t decide on the spot to give the role to He Jinxia just because of Xie Jiahui’s request.

Wilson said, "Give me a contact number; let’s find a time for an interview."

He Jinxia instantly felt relieved; that seemed normal. If the director had decided on the spot to cast her, she would have been more suspicious if there was some conspiracy involved.

She quickly recited a series of numbers, which was Luo You’s personal phone number.

The moment Wilson had recorded it, another female star also approached them.

"Jiahui, what a coincidence, you are here too!" A voice full of surprise came from beside her, and He Jinxia looked up only to see Deng Zhaoyan.

Deng Zhaoyan was dressed in a champagne-colored gown that had a slit starting from the leg, revealing a large expanse of pale leg skin as she moved; the upper body too boldly displayed her cleavage, exuding a wildly sexy allure throughout the gown.

Deng Zhaoyan first warmly embraced Xie Jiahui, then turned her gaze towards Wilson and He Jinxia.

Seeing Wilson, Deng Zhaoyan’s eyes lit up, but she wasn’t in a hurry to speak. As for He Jinxia, it was merely a cursory glance, a blatant disregard.

Xie Jiahui seemed to get along well with Deng Zhaoyan and introduced, "This is Director Wilson, my uncle, and this is Huaxia actress He Jinxia. You are both stars from Huaxia, you probably know each other."

Deng Zhaoyan politely extended her hand to greet Wilson, her first words flowed in fluent foreign language, making Wilson feel very comfortable.

After brief introductions, Deng Zhaoyan extended her hand and shook He Jinxia’s hand, smiling, "Hello, I’m Deng Zhaoyan."

He Jinxia also smiled and said, "Hello, I’m He Jinxia; we just saw each other a few days ago at Aishang’s fashion show."

Deng Zhaoyan’s expression unchanging, "Is that so? I didn’t see you, maybe there were just too many stars watching Aishang that day."

He Jinxia smiled, "Yes, there really were a lot of stars who went to the show that day."

Look, no matter how much they might hate each other inside, they still had to maintain a pleasant facade outwardly to avoid giving anyone a handle to criticize them for being discordant.

Of course, He Jinxia leaned more towards the reason that Deng Zhaoyan didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Director Wilson.

Deng Zhaoyan was a great conversationalist, getting along well with both Director Wilson and Xie Jiahui.

And Xie Jiahui was a very unguarded person. Before long, she had already revealed everything in front of Deng Zhaoyan, knowing that Director Wilson was looking for a Huaxia actress.

He Jinxia watched Xie Jiahui’s naïvety being exploited by Zhaoyan, who then made a shocked expression and appropriately asked the director if he had found any candidates yet.

Upon finding out the director had not found any candidates, she asked if he needed her assistance, unsurprisingly receiving Wilson’s refusal. Hence, Zhaoyan brought up her self-recommendation.

This whole procedure had the mark of an experienced master.

He Jinxia watched the drama unfold with great interest, without uttering a word.

On the contrary, Xie Jiahui, hearing what Zhaoyan said, became anxious, desperately giving Zhaoyan silent hints with her eyes. Zhaoyan pretended not to see them and focused only on Director Wilson.

Director Wilson pondered for a moment and said, "Give me a contact number; I’ll let you know when it’s time for an interview."

Zhaoyan smiled, provided her contact details, and then added in a foreign language:

"Although I have struggled to the top tier in Huaxia, my image has been limiting. Lately, I have been looking for a transformation, and I am very excited about the possibility of participating in your film, believing it will bring a new peak to my career."

Wilson smiled and said, "Haha, this film is also a try at transformation for me; it seems we are quite fated."

The conversation ceased there, and soon after, Wilson was called away by someone, leaving just He Jinxia and the other two behind.

Once Wilson had left, Xie Jiahui could no longer hold back and whispered softly, "Zhaoyan, what are you doing? I had already recommended Jinxia for this film!"

Upon hearing this, shock crossed Zhaoyan’s face, followed by a look of apology, her expression sincere and earnest:

"I’m sorry, I didn’t know. You didn’t tell me. I thought Director Wilson hadn’t found a candidate yet, so I took the opportunity to recommend myself. You know, I’ve been seeking a transformation by accepting several film and TV roles."

Having said this, she turned to He Jinxia and said apologetically, "I’m sorry."

Xie Jiahui furrowed her brows and looked distressed, unsure of what to say next; the situation felt appalling.

He Jinxia, taking it easier than Xie Jiahui, shrugged and said, "It doesn’t matter, Director Wilson hasn’t finalized his choice yet, right? Every star has a chance; one more or one less won’t make a difference, let it be."

Zhaoyan said, "Your mindset is quite good."

He Jinxia replied, "Can’t help it, the industry is always changing. Who can guarantee that they will surely secure the role they desire?"

Zhaoyan said, "That’s true, of course, but we still must strive as much as we can. You have a long way to go, you need to always keep the spirit of striving, you can’t just get by."

He Jinxia smiled faintly, "The elder speaks rightly; that’s what I think too, but what if the opponent is very strong?"

Zhaoyan countered, "If the opponent is very strong, would you give up?"

He Jinxia said, "Didn’t you say we have to strive hard? How can I be satisfied without giving it a try?"

Zhaoyan earnestly said, "That’s a good mindset to have, but I also want to tell you that recognizing the right moment is what makes a true hero, sometimes giving up isn’t necessarily a bad start."

He Jinxia smiled, choosing not to respond.

Seeing her not reply, Zhaoyan lost the interest in continuing the argument and after exchanging a few words with Xie Jiahui beside her, she turned and walked away to another place.

There were many celebrities at tonight’s dinner, and Zhaoyan had no time to waste on lesser-known stars.
