Chapter 70 - Crossing Paths With Xia Yu

This chapter has been translated by Atlas Studios. All credits belong to them.

The venue operator had arranged for the location to be used by Imperial Entertainment and Skyart Entertainment at their respective timeslots.

However, Imperial Entertainment did not typically have a smooth shoot and thus, tended to exceed their allocated time. This affected Skyart Entertainment's usage of the location, turning both sides unhappy.

A staff member in the team went to understand from Imperial Entertainment the status of their filming. He had a frown on his face when he returned, and explained that there were too many NG takes. Wei Shaoyin gave a cold laugh. "A sub-par singer like Xia Yu, her lack of training is shining through. How many NGs has she had already?"

Everyone kept silent.

Even Xia Ling thought to herself. Ah Wei, don't snigger about others. You yourself love to call out NGs on others. Sometimes it wasn't the fault of the artiste entirely, the director and producer of the film were also very important.

However, the situation at Xia Yu's did not seem to be as they expected.

The second time that the staff member went to understand the status, he managed to get more details. "The one causing all the NGs isn't Xia Yu. It's a small supporting cast."

Everyone's curiosity was piqued, asking who this small artiste was. Yet, the one that was in charge of getting information shook his head and said, "I don't recognize her, she's a new face that I've never seen before." He thought carefully before adding, "But... her mouth shape is very pretty, and she looks almost the exact replica of Xia Ling."

This incident became an after dinner topic for many and soon passed over.

Only Xia Ling felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart, not knowing exactly why. However, it was after all none of her business. As such, she forced herself to stop thinking about it and focused on filming the promotional video well.

The venue problem could not be resolved and there was some conflict between the two sides.

The leader from Skyart Entertainment was Wei Shaoyin, and while he had unparalleled power within the company and was able to make everyone listen to him, his rival this time was Chu Chen from Imperial Entertainment. Although Chu Chen could not compete with Wei Shaoyin in terms of artistic appreciation, he was much more proficient when it came to managing operational issues. He would always squeeze Wei Shaoyin until he was jumping up and down in anger.

When Ah Wei was unhappy, the entire film team would have to tolerate a higher probability of being scolded.

Xia Ling was berated by him several times and tried her best not to appear in front of him thereafter unless necessary. This day when she was resting, she spied him ready to blow up at yet another person. Taking this opportunity, she secretly slipped outside to get some air.

She took a leisurely stroll.

This was a newly-built film location, and there were not many teams filming at the same time. She did not meet anyone else after walking for a long while but heard people talking when she took a turn to a more desolated corner.

"Sister Xia Yu, I beg you to let me off. I really know my mistake and will not bother Mr. Pei anymore... It's Mr. Pei who will not let me go... " A girl's voice rang out, lined with the soft sounds of sobbing.

This was followed by a familiar cold "Hmph."

The girl whose voice was lined with sobs spoke again. "Sister Xia Yu, what I've said is all true. I beg you, please..."
