Chapter 91
91 Targeting
“You’re free this afternoon?”
Jiang se could not help but turn to ask PEI Yi after they entered the elevator.
He was thick-skinned and returned her a smile. His fingers moved, but he still didn’t dare to pull her.
“The most important thing for me now is to pursue you.”
He grinned, one hand on the transparent glass of the elevator, the other in his pocket, and his golden hair looked arrogant.
The people in the troupe did not recognize PEI Yi. However, when they saw that he had followed Jiang se into the theater as if it was a matter of course, they did not see any apprehension on his face.
The person in charge of the rehearsal for ” returning home on a snowy night ” was a young man named Wen gang. He was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He was the one who had received Chang Yuhu and Jiang se yesterday.
He glanced at PEI Yi, who had his hands in his pockets. After a moment of hesitation, he carefully asked Jiang se, ”
“This is your Wufu.”
PEI Yi did not look like someone to be trifled with. Having worked in the theater for a long time, Wen gang could roughly guess that PEI Yi was either rich or powerful based on the way he dressed and his mannerisms. He asked Jiang se about it, but she was stumped.
What was PEI Yi to her now? If it was in the past, she could say that PEI Yi was her younger brother, her childhood friend, and the grandson of her grandfather, Feng Zhongliang’s old superior. But now?
He had only said that he wanted to court her in the afternoon.
She pondered for a moment, thought about it, and picked a safe answer.
“He’s my senior.”
Wen gang immediately misunderstood.
It was Chang Yuhu who had brought her here yesterday. Wen gang had seen how Chang Yuhu had guided her in her acting. He had immediately regarded PEI Yi as Chang Yuhu’s student and was not prepared to ask him to leave.
“Teacher Chang, you’re so responsible.” He sighed and looked at Jiang se again. He asked curiously, ”
“You’re interested in joining a troupe too?”
She had an outstanding appearance, and during yesterday’s practice, Wen gang found that her learning ability was also strong. She was still a little restrained when she began to go on stage to rehearse, but she made rapid progress. Moreover, she was led into the company by Chang Yuhu, so the possibility of her joining the troupe in the future was very high.
Jiang se shook her head. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed PEI Yi staring at her without blinking. He had a jealous expression on his face.
“I’ve been learning from teacher Chang for a period of time.”
PEI Yi could no longer hold it in after she finished speaking.
Wen gang was already too close to her when they were whispering to each other earlier. There were only so many shameless men in this world. Even after he was done talking, he still refused to leave. He shook his legs and moved closer to Jiang se.
“Sese, what role are you going to play later?”
When he asked this, Jiang se fell into silence.
She was going to play a beggar. Fortunately, PEI Yi did not know who she was!
returning home on a snowy night “was about to be released. The cast had already been decided. When Jiang se rehearsed, she naturally snatched away the opportunity for another actor who was supposed to be playing child beggar B.
The character for child beggar B was a young girl who was about the same age as Jiang se. When Jiang se arrived, they had already rehearsed a scene and happened to return to the lounge.
Now that Jiang se was here, she was forced to sit at the side. She was a little unhappy. When she saw Jiang se leading PEI Yi backstage, she said sourly, ”
“In this day and age, one really has to rely on connections to speak.”
Her voice wasn’t soft, and it immediately attracted the attention of a group of people backstage.
Everyone turned their heads to look at her. She leaned back in her chair and turned to smile at the boy who played the role of child beggar a yesterday.
look, we’ve been practicing for more than three months, but the moment he came, he just pushed us away.
Jiang se was the only new member of the crew. Everyone knew who she was referring to.
When Chang Yuhu came over to let Jiang se go on stage yesterday, he did not mention whether Jiang se would be taking over the role of the young beggar.
Chang Yuhu’s status was special, and the person-in-charge of the troupe was very respectful to her. If she really had this intention, no matter how much the troupe sympathized with the young girl who was originally playing child beggar B, no one dared to say ‘no’.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Jiang se did not realize it until later. At first, she did not realize that the young girl was targeting her.
PEI Yi kept trying to talk to her. He would ask her if she was hungry or thirsty, and she was so annoyed that she slapped his face with the script.
“Shut up!”
The young girl who had spoken earlier thought that she was reproaching her and immediately jumped up.
“Who do you want to shut up? This is a rehearsal, not a place for you to date. You’ve brought your boyfriend here in public and you still have the cheek to lie about being a senior? who are you trying to lie to?”
At this moment, Jiang se came back to her senses. This young girl was probably targeting her.
PEI Yi was still holding the script and smiling foolishly. He felt as if the script smelled good when she touched it.
In the past, nie dan, Xiang qiuran, and Xiang qiuji had always said that their girlfriends were annoying, that they would throw tantrums from time to time and had to be coaxed.
However, Feng Nan had never lost his temper at him. This was the first time she had scolded her. As expected, when their relationship changed, she changed as well.
“Taotao, I’m done.”
Someone from the production crew pulled the angry girl aside and glanced at Jiang se. “Calm down,”
“Why should I?” The young girl called ‘Tao Tao’ was so angry that she kept wiping away her tears. I’ve been practicing for more than three months. What right do you have to push me away as soon as someone comes? so what if I have special privileges? ”
She shot to her feet. PEI Yi, who was smiling foolishly while hugging his script, felt that something was off. When he saw the girl pointing angrily at Jiang se, he frowned. Jiang se was afraid that he would lose his temper, so she tried to pull him back. However, he seized the opportunity to hold her hand.
I’m sorry to have caused trouble for everyone. I didn’t finish what I wanted to say yesterday. Teacher Chang was only giving me some pointers on my acting skills. I’m not here to act in a play.
When everyone heard her say this, their faces revealed a bit of embarrassment.
when the play is released, you’ll still be the ones on stage. I’m just practicing my courage and learning from you. I’ll leave the troupe after that.
After she finished explaining, the expressions of the people in the troupe became much better.
The young girl called ‘Taotao’ from before was a little embarrassed. She rubbed her eyes and was coaxed away.
Although she had explained the situation clearly, the troupe members did not get closer to Jiang se. Jiang se did not mind. She was only there to practice and learn. She was not there to get close to them and interact with them in the future.
PEI Yi, on the other hand, felt indignant and paced around her.
“She dared to shout at you?”
“Don’t mess around,” Jiang se took the script from him and nudged him.
“Go outside and sit for a while, I’ll memorize my lines again.”
When she was rehearsing on stage yesterday, she had brought the script with her. It was her first time coming into contact with this drama, so it was understandable for her to have the script with her. However, she couldn’t take the script with her on stage today.
She had originally planned to memorize her lines when she returned home last night. However, she received a call from Yu Xiaozhou after leaving the theater yesterday. It was Cao Shuang’s birthday that night, so she did not have time to memorize her lines.
