Chapter 69: It’s Only Right, Isn’t It?

Feng Weiyuan, who had been near Ling Xiaoli and Luo Zhaoyin from the beginning, had heard their conversation.

The two of them hadn’t deliberately lowered their voices, so it couldn’t really be considered eavesdropping.

He had heard everything, but Feng Weiyuan had absolutely no intention of going over to join their conversation.

He only felt his face burning with embarrassment—and he had absolutely no intention of performing a handstand while wielding a broadsword.

Fine!

He wanted to see who in the entire entertainment industry was more qualified than his sister-in-law to play Su Daji. He simply refused to believe it!

Feng Weiyuan picked up his phone, intending to call his own company, but just as he found the number, he stopped.

Feng Weiyuan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Wouldn’t it be better to let his brother handle something like this?

Hehe.

Walking to the side, he spent quite a while before finally dialing Lin Cheng’s number. The moment the call connected, he said:

“Bro, save me! This is an emergency!”

………

Today was Sunday.

As usual for Sundays, Lin Cheng was working up a sweat at the gym when his phone suddenly started vibrating.

It was Feng Weiyuan calling.

He had absolutely no desire to answer, but the phone kept vibrating relentlessly. In the end, Lin Cheng reluctantly picked up.

“What is it?”

Then he heard Feng Weiyuan’s “cry for help,” and Lin Cheng immediately became serious.

Although this idiotic younger brother was annoying most of the time, he rarely ever “falsely reported an emergency.”

For him to speak like this, there was a good chance something really urgent had happened.

“Sister-in-law’s role got taken by someone else!”

Lin Cheng froze.

Sister-in-law?

Who?

The next second, for some reason, he suddenly realized that Feng Weiyuan was probably talking about Ling Xiaoli.

He was just about to correct him when he remembered what Feng Weiyuan had said.

Ling Xiaoli’s role had been taken?

Without bothering about anything else, he asked:

“Wasn’t she only playing a minor supporting role? Someone even took that?”

“Hehe, Bro, I called her sister-in-law and you didn’t even scold me.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Get to the point.”

“Oh. So, sister-in-law auditioned for a role two days ago. I thought it was absolutely guaranteed, but who would’ve thought she’d actually fail the audition? I feel like there must be something fishy going on!”

Lin Cheng frowned.

Not getting selected after an audition was perfectly normal, but he still asked another question.

“What makes you say that?”

“Do you know what role sister-in-law auditioned for? Su Daji! Su Daji from Director Zhang’s The Investiture of the Gods!

“If even sister-in-law can’t get the role, I really don’t know who in this world is qualified!”

The moment Lin Cheng heard the words “Su Daji,” he immediately thought of that scene from two nights ago.

His ears suddenly grew hot, and his heart began to race.

“Ahem. I’ll look into it. You don’t need to worry about this anymore.”

“Got it, Bro! I’ve been waiting for you to say that. Then I’ll leave sister-in-law to you!”

“And one more thing. Don’t call her sister-in-law. There’s nothing between us yet.”

“Eh~ Just because there’s nothing now doesn’t mean there won’t be anything later. It’s only a matter of time! I’m hanging up, I’m hanging up.”

Lin Cheng stared at his phone, very much wanting to drag Feng Weiyuan out from the other end of the call and give him a beating.

Leave him alone for three days and he’ll start tearing the roof off.

Afterward, Lin Cheng thought for a moment before finding a number and calling.

“Ling Xiaoli recently auditioned for The Investiture of the Gods. This role is important, and if she gets it, it’ll also be good publicity for our group. Have someone follow up on it and make sure she gets the role.

“And arrange an agent for Ling Xiaoli as soon as possible. Strengthen her connection with the company.”

Ling Xiaoli was currently signed with their own Dou Beast Livestream.

If she lacked the ability, then there was nothing to say.

But since she had enough ability, fighting to secure a role for her was simply what the company should do.

It was only right, wasn’t it?

………

Liu Wenchu was in the middle of a meeting with his subordinates when he suddenly received a call from President Lin.

He responded with “Yes, yes, yes” throughout the entire conversation and agreed to everything perfectly.

But deep down, he really, really wanted to say:

Shouldn’t something like this be handled by Starlight Entertainment or Xingyue Pictures, both of which were subsidiaries of the group?

Why was he contacting Dou Beast Livestream about it?
