Chapter 9: Signing the Contract

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

An Wen was not surprised when Assistant Director Zhang came over and spoke to her. She had intentionally worn a long, white dress today to fit the role of Qing Sha.

She followed Assistant Director Zhang inside the main palace. By then, Ye Qiaofeng had discarded his cigarette and was sitting properly on a chair. Ye Qiaofeng’s eyes scanned An Wen from head to toe as he watched her enter the main palace.

She was a match! A perfect match!

This girl naturally carried herself in a refined manner that made her stand out from the crowd. Her crystal-clear and icy gaze also added to her undeniable beauty. She was basically Qing Sha incarnated.

Ye Qiaofeng was so excited that he secretly rubbed his palms together before quickly pinching his thigh to ensure that he was not dreaming.

Sister Qing had descended from the heavens. The charity work that he had done throughout the years had not gone to waste. Good people would be appropriately blessed because God was kind.

“Hello, young lady. I’m Ye Qiaofeng. What’s your name?” Ye Qiaofeng turned to her and asked.

“My name is An Wen. I’m a student from Di City No. 1 High School. My school’s volunteer association came here to help Di City Film Academy hand out questionnaires for their survey today. Director Ye, why did you call me here?” An Wen asked quietly and calmly.

“You know me?” Ye Qiaofeng asked.

“Everyone in China knows you, Director Ye!”

Most people who knew Ye Qiaofeng would not be able to keep their composure when speaking to him. Ye Qiaofeng’s good impression of An Wen instantly increased significantly.

“Since you know my name, you’re probably aware that I’m currently filming for Calming the Cosmos. My production crew is urgently trying to fill a role, and I noticed that you’re a suitable candidate. Are you willing to give it a go?” Ye Qiaofeng made his voice sound gentler when he said this, but Assistant Director Zhang was trembling with fear.

Assistant Director Zhang thought that he resembled the Big Bad Wolf, wagging his tail while disguised as an old lady.

“I’ve read the original version of Calming the Cosmos, but I’m not sure which character you’re referring to, Director Ye.”

“You’ve read the original novel? That’s great! I’m sure you’ve heard of Qing Sha.”

“Of course I know Qing Sha. Director Ye, are you saying that… You want me to play the role of Qing Sha?” An Wen was an extremely calm person, but she could not stop herself from being slightly shocked now.

“Yes, you’re beautiful and you carry yourself well. You’re the perfect person to play Qing Sha. Are you interested?” Ye Qiaofeng asked warmly.

This… It would be impossible for her to reject the offer. There was a stunned look on An Wen’s face when the director asked her the question, but she finally answered, “Yes… I’m interested.”

“Wonderful! Zhang Ziteng, bring me the contract!” the man said.

An Wen was dumbfounded. Was it supposed to be done in such a sloppy manner?

Zhang Ziteng was also shocked. He asked quietly, “Do you want me to bring it now?”

“Hurry up!” Ye Qiaofeng sounded terribly stern. Earlier, he had spoken to her kindly, but that tone of voice had now disappeared.

Dizzily, she signed the contract when it was brought over. Director Ye smiled warmly at her as she left with a script and her copy of the contract.

“We’ll call you!” Assistant Director Zhang ran over from afar and told An Wen.

She was in a complete state of disbelief as she held the contract and script. Having read the original novel and analyzed Qing Sha’s character for a long time, An Wen believed that she was fully prepared. However, apparently her looks were enough to land her the role.

Today, she finally understood why, despite being extremely hardworking, she had ultimately failed to land several roles in her previous life.

This world was damned because everyone only cared about looks!

The crew started gossiping when they noticed that Assistant Director Zhang had returned. “I think that girl signed a contract with Director Ye just now.”

The famous actress who was playing Yi Xinxin scoffed disdainfully before replying, “Assistant Director Zhang gave her his contact number earlier, but she’s nothing but a plaything that will accompany him in his bedroom. The investors probably sent her.”

“Is that true?”

“I could tell with one look. Why else would Director Ye sign a contract with a random girl?” the female celebrity said.
