From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables-Chapter 553 - : 262 Achievement (Second Update)
Chapter 553: 262 Achievement (Second Update)
“Hey Qu Feitai, you horny bastard! I gave you the heads-up, and you just betrayed me like a wretched villain!” Bai Ziyan snorted coldly.
Lan Huixin tried her best to minimize her presence.
Just now, she went to the restroom with Ye Zhen and bumped into Zhou Zhengru. As a popular actor, Zhou Zhengru wasn’t pretentious and talked to them voluntarily. Then, he mentioned that Mr. Wu and Director Yu were having dinner with investors next door and invited Ye Zhen to join.
The result was obvious.
Ye Zhen was chosen by Yu Dawei, and she would be the new Lady Yu.
Lan Huixin felt a bit disappointed deep down, but that was it. Ye Zhen was Ming Jing’s sister, and Ming Jing saved her life. She could only be happy for Ye Zhen.
Maybe her audition performance was indeed not as good as Ye Zhen’s.
At the time, Ye Zhen even reminded her to remove her eyebrows and lipstick, or she wouldn’t even pass the first round.
Being able to participate in the audition and witnessing everything made her content.
Sitting between Ming Jing and two handsome boys at the moment, Lan Huixin felt nervous.
She didn’t know who the white-clothed boy was, but his background must have been extraordinary. He might be a director’s son or a rich second-generation investor.
As for Qu Feitai, he needed no introduction.
He was a top singer and an idol to Li Tingting.
At this moment, the high-profile legend was sitting diagonally across her, close enough for her to see the pores on his face by just looking up.
Turns out the rumors were not groundless.
The tenderness in his eyes when he looked at Ming Jing couldn’t be resisted by any girl in the world, she exaggeratedly thought.
Ming Jing was the only exception, which was why she caught the attention of such an outstanding young man.
“Bai Ziyan, no one would think you’re mute if you don’t speak.” Qu Feitai said coldly.
Bai Ziyan rolled his eyes, “Ming Jing is here today, so I’ll spare you some face. Let’s settle everything between us later.”
Qu Feitai scoffed, “I don’t have any grudges with you, don’t flatter yourself.”
Lan Huixin shrank her head, trying to reduce her presence even more. These two seemed to have some intense bromance going on, right?
Ming Jing spoke up to break their stalemate, smiling and asking, “Xiao Bai, does the movie still need investment?”
Bai Ziyan raised an eyebrow, “You want to invest? Good taste.”
“It’s a friend of mine who works in the film industry. I think Director Yu’s movies are still reliable.”
“How much can your friend offer?”
Ming Jing waved her fingers, and Bai Ziyan gasped.
“So rich.”
“I’ll ask my uncle. The current investors are trying to stuff people into the movie, making my uncle unhappy. It was Wu Chao who brought in the original investment, and he was sincere and has a good reputation in the industry, so my uncle trusted him.”
Who could have thought that after seven years, the industry had changed dramatically? The pure and simple environment was now controlled by capital, and even a big director had lost the freedom to choose actors. How ridiculous.
“Are you continuing the exam tomorrow?” Qu Feitai asked out of the blue.
“It’s over on the 15th.”
“On the 15th?” Bai Ziyan thought for a moment and said, “It’s Bo Yuxun’s birthday that day… ”
He suddenly looked up at Qu Feitai, “Did you get an invitation?”
Qu Feitai shook his head.
Bai Ziyan suddenly laughed maliciously, “I almost forgot, you’ve been kicked out of the family.”
Qu Feitai almost killed Qu Lao with anger when he decided to enter the entertainment industry. Qu Lao threatened to kick him out of the family, causing a huge stir. Everyone in the major families knew about it.
Qu Feitai remained calm when reminded of this painful memory, “I’m free now. Unlike some people, who are controlled by others in every aspect of life but still mock others.”Though the Qus despised him, it was all due to their feudal mindset. Qu Feitai’s blood still came from the family, and that fact couldn’t be changed. So no one dared to deliberately offend Qu Feitai, especially when Qu Lanting was still alive.
Putting aside Qu Feitai’s identity, his own influence was not to be underestimated. The title of a celebrity or singer no longer suited him. Calling him an artist wasn’t an exaggeration either.
A genius like him, one in a hundred years.
These two often teased each other and didn’t get annoyed by just a sentence or two. Bai Ziyan’s eyes turned, and he laughed cunningly. “Even if I asked you to go, you wouldn’t dare. I remember when we were young, the girl from the Bos chased you around wanting to marry you, haha. When I said I’d marry her when I grew up, she even looked down on me. What bad taste.”
Qu Feitai was especially beautiful when he was a child, just like a little girl. Needless to say, he was very popular in the courtyard. Little girls would follow him around calling him “big brother.” That one girl from the Bos was even more outrageous. She said she would marry Qu Feitai and, of course, it was all just child’s play. It left a deep psychological shadow on the young Qu Feitai, who would avoid women ever since.
Until Ming Jing appeared.
Ming Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at Qu Feitai.
Qu Feitai coughed. “Don’t listen to his nonsense. None of that happened.”
“It’s okay if you don’t admit it. When we see that girl from the Bos, we’ll confront her about it in person.” Bai Ziyan drank his tea calmly.
“Boring.” Qu Feitai didn’t want to bother with him.
“You guys continue eating. I’ll go to the next room and see what’s going on.” Bai Ziyan got up and left the private room.
“Bai has been spoiled since he was a child. He’s always talking without thinking, don’t take it to heart.”
Ming Jing smiled: “I won’t.”
Qu Feitai looked at her calm and indifferent eyes, and was momentarily lost in thought.
“Are you going to make a movie?” Ming Jing asked.
Ming Jing took the initiative to ask him, which made Qu Feitai first surprised and then delighted, with waves of emotions in his heart and a calm exterior.
Qu Feitai shook his head. “I’m a music producer. I’ve never been involved in this field before, and there’s still a lot to learn.”
Ming Jing glanced at him, “You’re already amazing.”
Her eyes were full of emotion, which deeply touched Qu Feitai.
Praise from his goddess filled him with strength.
“When a person stays in their comfort zone for too long, they don’t want to leave. But at this age, being able to take the initiative to step out of your comfort zone and learn something completely new, your future achievements will be limitless.”
Having received such straightforward praise, Qu Feitai’s eyes beamed with youthful pride.
But soon he put away his arrogance and said seriously, “Even if it’s just for those words, I will definitely work twice as hard.”
He wouldn’t hope for more; keeping some love hidden in his heart was enough. At moments like this, the two of them spent time as friends, enjoying each other’s encouragement and company. To him, this was the greatest satisfaction.
The words “let go” given to him by Master Ku Ye and Master Jue Ming, initially he scoffed at them, then doubted himself. Now he seemed to have caught a glimpse of the secret to breaking through.

“Director Yu, do you really want to turn against the Shenzhou Group? I advise you to weigh your own identity. The current film environment is not what it was ten years ago. Capital is king now. If we pull our investment, what will you use to shoot the film?” fгeewebnovёl.com
No one in the industry would dare to offend the Shenzhou Group.
No matter how powerful Yu Dawei was, he was just a director. To think about making an enemy out of the Shenzhou Group, he had to weigh his own clout.
Wu Chao’s face fell.
It’s over, it’s over. Lu Ze is also going to pull out his investment.
“Oh, who dares to speak so arrogantly? It turns out it’s an employee of the Shenzhou Group. What’s the matter, do you dare to say what you just said in front of my uncle?” Bai Ziyan laughed as he walked in.
Lu Ze sneered, “What’s there to be afraid of?”
“Excellent, I recorded everything you said just now, word for word.” Bai Ziyan opened his phone, and the phrase “capital is king” was clearly visible.
“Capital’s dominance is indeed intimidating. Without investment, my uncle’s movie can only be put on hold. But do you think that’s enough to scare him off? If you have the guts, pull your investment. There will be others ready to step up.”
“Mr. Bai.” Wu Chao called out urgently, as if to stop making the situation worse.
Yu Dawei sat there, perfectly at ease, not saying a word, with a smile even playing around his lips.
