The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 28

Should she laugh? Since she was telling her jokes... that meant she wanted her to laugh, right?

But should she really laugh? That joke... under normal circumstances, it wouldn't make her laugh.

However, Lisa did ultimately end up laughing.

He laughed not because the joke was funny because her poker-face as she told her such a stupid joke was cute. It seemed like she was hoping to make her laugh. Lisa simply couldn't resist the blow to his heart, which melted as she gazed at her.

[Congratulations on accomplishing the task once!

+1 Point.

8/10.

Please continue working hard!]

For the first time, Jennie was happy to hear the System beep. She was very happy, as the matter of fact. Although telling jokes to make her laugh was kind of cheap, at least she didn't have to make a fool out of herself. That made her feel a great sense of achievement.

The delightful mood she was in caused a faint smile to appear on her face.

Faint, but nonetheless breathtaking.

Now, both individuals were smiling, one gentle and doting, the other light and soft. The entire study was lit up.

"Jennie..." Lisa couldn't help but murmur. Jennie's beauty was irresistible.

Beautiful, intelligent, proud, strong, and occasionally cute and muddled. His understanding of her character was slowly increasing, and at the same time, her figure was embedding itself deeper into his heart, never to sink into oblivion.

"You can continue working, I'm leaving."

Jennie left in a happy mood, thinking to herself that the Woman looked really pretty when she smiled. She wanted to make her smile more often, even if there were no points to get out of it.

Work? Work on what? Lisa's head was still spinning from her smile, how could he have the mind to think about work? The memory of her smile had completely taken over his mind.

Coincidentally, she was also thinking about how nice it would be if she could make Jennie smile more often.

....

Lisa spent the next few days bustling around setting up the cast for his film. Most of the cast actually paled in comparison to her and Rain, as they were both well-known box office guarantees.

Since procuring a role in Lisa's film was equivalent to reaching a greater height in one's acting career, there was no lack of actors and actresses trying their best to get in. Over the past two days, she had received an overwhelming number of calls on his business cell.

Mina was responsible for answering most of them, and her hands had already gone numb from the job.

Lisa's private line wasn't spared from the torrent either. Those who were on friendly terms with her contacted her, and the most difficult ones proved to be the ones vying for the role of the female lead.

Lisa knew plenty of people from the entertainment circle. He was friends with a few of them, but the number of good friends she had in the entertainment circle could be counted on one hand.

Not a single one of them was female.

Maybe she was too adamant about maintaining his purity, or maybe her standards were just too high because no female actress had ever succeeded in getting close to her. A cooperative relationship was the most she allowed, and she paid absolutely no heed to the ones who were involved in their respective scandals with her.

However, just because she was indifferent to them didn't mean that they reciprocated the same indifference.

Everywhere, strings were being pulled as countless regular actresses and movie stars tried to figure out ways to get in contact with her. Some even ignored Jennie's existence and offered her certain "benefits" in exchange for the leading role.

On Many occasions, Lisa and Jennie would get interrupted during dinner by a phone call. Lisa rarely answered them.

"The leading actress still hasn't been chosen yet?" With Jisoo as the go-between, Lisa and Jennie were both quite informed about each other's businesses.

"The heroine is an undercover agent, which means there are a lot of internal drama scenes to shoot. Ordinary actresses won't be able to match up, so it's hard to find a suitable one."

It was rather worrisome. She was unfamiliar with the actresses in the circle, and Rain wasn't able to find anyone suitable either. The ones who were suitable were busy, and both Lisa and Rain had very high standards, to begin with. Several days of searching had turned up fruitless.

As Jennie listened to her divulge his problems, she suddenly thought of something.

She had been exerting herself over the System Mission and managed to accumulate eight points so far. Aside from the two scripts she had gotten, she had not yet made use of the other special functions of the System. Maybe she could use the last function —Auxiliary Assistance— to help Lisa out?

【 001, can the Auxiliary Assistance function be used to help find people? Lisa's film is lacking a suitable female lead. 】It was actually well within her power to find a fitting actress for the film, but she wanted to play around a bit with the System functions, so that was what she did instead of utilizing her own influence.

【 Of course. Dear Master, you just need to confirm that you wish to use today's Auxiliary Assistance chance, and the System will start searching for you. 】

"I confirm."

Now searching, please wait...

This time, it was the mechanical voice of the System that spoke. Soon, three names appeared before Jennie.

Suitable candidates include Kim Dahyun, Park Jihyo, and Momo Hirai.

Jennie knew all three of the candidates. With the System's mention, she started to recall what she knew about them, and indeed, they were all very suitable.

She turned to Lisa and said, "Kim Dahyun, Park Jihyo, and Momo Hirai. You should contact one of them."

Each one was a movie star in her own right, possessing a good image, temperament, acting skills, and character. Jennie didn't have a preference, so she let Lisa choose for herself.

"Momo is very good, and she's one of Kim Entertainment's actresses too, but Rain contacted her two days ago and was told that her schedule is full." The list was down to two people now. Although they weren't lacking compared to Momo, they were from different companies. Benefits should always be kept for one's own people.

Lisa was still inclined to use an actress from Kim Entertainment, and not to mention, Momo was the most suitable candidate too. Unfortunately, she wasn't free.

【Momo already has a full schedule? I asked for suitable candidates, which doesn't include the unavailable ones, does it? Is this a glitch in the System？】Jennie called on the System.

【 Master, it's not a glitch in the System. Two days ago, Momo wasn't free. Try asking her again today. 】001 blinked and responded in a meaningful tone.

Jennie immediately caught on to 001's meaning. She told Lisa, "Go and ask her again. Maybe she's free now."

"Alright, I'll do that." Momo was a good actress that Lisa didn't really want to give up on either, so she immediately heeded Jennie's advice and contacted Momo right there and then.

The call lasted for only five minutes. She was happy and excited after she hung up and told Jennie, "Momo's new film was temporarily suspended due to investment issues. She has agreed to star in ⟪The War for Power⟫ first."

"That's good. Do your best then. Come to me if you run into any problems."
