My CEO Husband Has Some Issues - Chapter 693

Chapter 693: Chapter 693: If You Want to Find Someone, Find Rong Yan
 

She kept a smile on her face, beckoning to Xia Xue with her eyes, and said, “Look, our little Xue is so well-behaved, and we have such a good relationship. It wouldn’t be right for my first film to take the role of second female lead. If I don’t accept it, she’ll be all alone on set, and I’m afraid she’ll be bullied by others.”

Xia Xue was still hoping that Fu Ya, the brainless woman, would introduce her to more sugar daddies she couldn’t reach herself. Even though she found Fu Ya’s excuse for using her disgusting, she still cracked a slight smile and spoke on Fu Ya’s behalf, “Mr. Lu, she really wants Ya to join the film too. Please help her out~”

The executive remained unmoved by her flirtation, his face darkening as he lost his temper and said, “I got you a connection and you became the third female lead and you’re still not satisfied? If you don’t want to act then don’t act. Do you also need me to arrange a mahjong game for you so you won’t be bored while filming?”

He was openly scolding Xia Xue, but in fact, he included Fu Ya in his rebuke as well.

Fu Ya’s face visibly turned unpleasant at that moment.

Of course, Xia Xue was unwilling to lose the sugar daddy she had finally hooked up with. She had paid a lot for this opportunity and absolutely wouldn’t let Fu Ya ruin her chance. Pretending not to see the signals Fu Ya kept sending her, she adorably snuggled up in the man’s arms, “I’m very willing, I know Mr. Lu has gone through a lot of trouble for me, and I’m deeply touched. I will work hard to make you proud.”

Fu Ya, seeing her speak sweetly while leaning into the man’s embrace, completely ignoring her hints, was so angry her nose nearly became crooked.

Xia Xue, now in favor with the high-ranking investor, couldn’t afford to lose her temper like before, and with gritted teeth still kept a smile, “Mr. Lu, I’m about to be in the finals, and my popularity isn’t low. I believe that me starring as the female lead in this project would be a win-win for everyone.”

Let’s get this straight, her popularity with the program was soaring, and it wasn’t like she was the only one seeking favors.

Before she could finish her words, the executive saw Rong Yan and, without mercy, lifted his chin and told her, “The final is indeed coming up. Don’t tell me you’re thinking you can win the championship? Did AQ promise you that? I don’t think so. I guess they figured letting you into the top 4 would already be a strategic move. You’re probably going to end up in fourth place. As for popularity, can your popularity compare with Rong Yan’s? Speaking frankly for Xia Xue’s sake, forget about the leading lady role. Our company is indeed looking to invite one of your people to star, but the one we’re interested in is Rong Yan. You’re not even in our considerations!”

Rong Yan had high popularity, good looks, and an outstanding performance in “Three Kingdoms” under his belt. They were eager to have him as the male lead in their web series.

As for Fu Ya, aside from leeching some popularity from the show, she had hardly any fans, much less any real star power. She was not as valued as his new favorite, Xia Xue. He wasn’t crazy enough to cast someone like her, a decorative pillow with no substance, as the female lead.

Besides, the woman wasn’t even using her brain properly. Unwilling to ‘invest’ herself, she had her ‘bestie’ do it instead.

He’d heard more than once, both openly and in secret, how Fu Ya had taken advantage of her status to bully others.

Why would he reserve such an important role as the leading lady for someone brainless, entitled, arrogant, and capricious? Was he out of his mind?

Fu Ya was left with no place to hide after his blunt words, and suddenly her gaze turned towards Rong Yan in the distance, filled with resentment!
