Chapter 260 Help
After Bai Mengyan finished speaking, she placed a business card on the coffee table.
Bu Lanying picked up the business card, her eyes full of admiration.
"Qianxun Entertainment? I've never heard of this entertainment company. Mengyan, you have to be careful and don't get scammed," Bu Lanying warned.
Bai Mengyan gave a bitter smile and shook her head.
"Grandma Bu, it's alright. This is a company owned by my dad's friend. It's absolutely reliable."
Su Weiwen instead asked, "Mengyan, how do you want Su Yuchen to help you?"
Upon hearing Su Weiwen's question, Bai Mengyan glanced at Su Yuchen with some difficulty.
“Yonsei International’s subsidiary, Baisheng Entertainment, is a giant in the entertainment industry. I heard they recently have the idea of investing in director Ma Cheng’an’s drama ‘The Rest of My Life is Good.’ Since we’ve met, could you please ask Yu Chen to reserve the lead role for me?” Bai Mengyan looked at Su Yu Chen with teary eyes.
Seeing Bai Mengyan's seductive appearance, Yun Yao found it somewhat amusing.
It turns out that after such a long time apart, it wasn't just about recuperating; it was about embracing another layer of my identity.
Yun Yao could see it, so how could Su Yuchen not notice the allure in Bai Mengyan's eyes? He remained unmoved, displaying remarkable composure.
Mo Peichen had mentioned the movie Bai Mengyan was talking about to him a few days ago. He said that the famous director Ma Chengan was going to direct a big film at the beginning of the year as his retirement work. It was a romance film about the female lead's growth in a modern setting. Many popular celebrities were scrambling to get a role in this film. The female lead was so sought after that she probably already had someone chosen. Bai Mengyan's words meant that she was planning to let capital interfere with the casting process.
“You’ve got the wrong person. Baisheng Entertainment isn’t under my jurisdiction. You can ask Mo Peichen,” Su Yuchen said without any mercy.
Bai Mengyan seemed to have anticipated this, but she calmly pushed a poster recruiting actors towards Yun Yao.
Before she came, Bai Mengyan knew he wouldn't help her, but that wasn't her ultimate goal today.
"Since that's the case, I won't force it. My father and Director Ma Cheng'an are old acquaintances, and I think Director Ma Cheng'an will give me a small role because of my father's influence. But for this, I hope Miss Yun can help me."
Bai Mengyan's behavior today is truly baffling. One second she was asking Su Yuchen for help, and the next second she switched her target to Yun Yao. What exactly is she trying to do?
Yun Yao slowly picked up the poster on the coffee table, which advertised for female supporting roles.
"Female supporting role?" Yun Yao's voice rose at the end.
Bai Mengyan nodded, her eyes glistening with anticipation.
“Director Ma Cheng’an has been very troubled lately about casting the second female lead. Last time we met, I accidentally mentioned Miss Yun’s name, and then Director Ma Cheng’an wanted me to contact you. He felt that Miss Yun was the perfect fit for the role, and if you don’t go, the movie might be in vain,” Bai Mengyan said.
"So what?" Yun Yao asked back.
"So, could you go audition? It doesn't matter if you don't get the part." Bai Mengyan's voice was somewhat pleading.
Yun Yao was almost laughing in anger. Just because Bai Mengyan slipped up, she was supposed to go to some ridiculous audition? Bai Mengyan was as audacious as ever, daring to assign her such a task!
"What if I don't go?" Yun Yao's expression had darkened.
Bai Mengyan seemed intimidated by Yun Yao's imposing aura and shrank back towards Bu Lanying.
“Miss Yun, it’s okay if you don’t want to go. After all, you are now the chairman of W International, so you naturally look down on our profession of showing your face in public. It’s alright, I’ll talk to Director Ma Cheng’an!” Bai Mengyan raised her eyes, her eyes glistening with tears of distress.
Yun Yao: "..." Is this person sick? This excuse is way too lame!
When Bu Lanying saw Bai Mengyan in tears, her heart melted, and she quickly pulled Bai Mengyan into her arms to gently comfort her.
"Mengyan, Grandma is willing but unable to handle matters in the business world, but Grandma will definitely take care of this for you."
"It's alright, Grandma. Since Miss Yun is unwilling, it's fine for me to give up this opportunity!"
"What's so difficult about it? It's just a formality, it won't take up much of your time or effort. I've watched you grow up, so you're practically family. Yun Yao will definitely help you!"
Yun Yao: "..." Hey, you two, I'm still sitting here!
Not only was Bu Lanying being aggressive, but Su Weiwen, who had remained silent until now, also began to fan the flames.
"Yes, Su Yuchen, Mengyan is still your sister. Can you bear to see her miss this opportunity? As far as I know, Ma Chengan is one of the top directors in the film industry. If you let Mengyan offend him, how will she walk in the future? It's one thing if the Su family doesn't help, but you can't just abandon Mengyan as well, can you?"
But no matter what they said, Su Yuchen remained unmoved, his expression gloomy.
Seeing that Su Yuchen had no reaction, Su Weiwen assumed that he was worried about Yun Yao's attitude and turned to look at Yun Yao.
"Yun Yao, Dad knows you're a kind child. I believe you wouldn't be so heartless, right? This matter is very simple for you. You will definitely help your sister Meng Yan, won't you?" Su Weiwen said everything he could think of.
Yun Yao could clearly sense the low pressure emanating from Su Yuchen, which was about to explode. She subtly tapped the back of his hand, signaling him to calm down.
“As long as I go, whether I pass the audition or not, Ma Cheng’an will owe Bai Mengyan a favor. You know I’m a businessman, and I never do business at a loss. Tell me, what benefit do I get from this?” Yun Yao’s cold gaze fell on Bai Mengyan’s face.
Bai Mengyan's fingernails were almost digging into her flesh. She knew that this bitch was still so difficult to deal with!
But before she could speak, Bu Lanying, who was sitting next to her, couldn't sit still anymore.
"Yun Yao, come on, stop trying to intimidate us with your businesswoman status. Others may not know, but I do. W International is just a puppet company of our Yanshi International. Do you really think you're some high and mighty Chairman Yun?" Bu Lanying said sarcastically.
"Enough." Su Yuchen finally couldn't hold back, his voice displeased and his face gloomy.
Even with Yun Yao's hints, he couldn't tolerate someone targeting the person he cherished so much.
"Su Yuchen, do you think you can turn the world upside down?!" Bu Lanying thought she was the head of the family who could command everyone's respect, and she was full of arrogance.
Su Yuchen pulled Yun Yao up to go upstairs, but he suddenly stopped at the top of the stairs.
"From now on, no one with an outside surname is allowed to enter the Su family without my permission."
After saying that, he took Yun Yao upstairs.
Bai Mengyan stared blankly at their retreating figures for a moment. What did he just say? Outsiders?
After nearly twenty years of friendship, all that's left is the label of "outsider"? Su Yuchen, how cruel you are!
"Yun Yao, marriage is nothing. You'll be the ultimate winner if you truly hold onto this man. If you have the guts, let's have a fair and square contest. Otherwise, I'll expose your inhumanity to the world!" Bai Mengyan's whispered words reached Yun Yao's ears.
Yun Yao, who was being pulled along by Su Yuchen, showed no change in expression, except for a slight upturn at the corners of her lips…
